" I get angry looks from fellow parishioners when my two children, ages 4 and 7, make noise during services. They don&amp;#039;t cry or speak loudly; they just whisper and pass things back and forth. Our church does not provide day care or children&amp;#039;s services, and besides, I want my kids with me at Sunday worship. Is it wrong to bring them? If your children are generally well-behaved, they should be able to join you in church. You should do whatever you can, however, to relieve their restlessness. Have them pick out quiet activities to bring along, such as favorite books, crayons, drawing paper, and nondisruptive toys. Sometimes it helps to choose a rear pew so you or your husband can slip outside with a little one who can&amp;#039;t sit still. If you have assigned seating, talk with your minister or priest about moving to a different section, since some people are more tolerant of youngsters than others. If you can&amp;#039;t move, try talking to those irritated churchgoers: They may become more understanding after you explain how you feel. And, of course, you should try to convey to your children just how important it is to be quiet in a place of worship, and why. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
