Hearing, Listening, Obeying
Play this listening game with your toddler. Ask them to stay in their room until they hear you calling, tell them to come and find you as soon as they hear your voice.

When they get to you say to them: "You were listening for me, you heard me and you obeyed me when you came straight away." Remind them of the story of Samuel when he ran to Eli, his master, even though it was the early hours of the morning. You can also play the sound games from my toddler sensory activities

Faithfulness in little things
Samuel was an aid to Eli as Eli was an old man with dimmed eyesight. His temple duties would probably have included the opening and shutting of doors, lighting of the 7 branched candle, keeping the olive oil running and other jobs around the temple.

We can teach our toddlers and preschoolers to be faithful in little things when we train them to do their chores correctly. If your toddler is not in the habit of doing chores – even the most simple ones, like cleaning toys or helping with odd jobs – you may experience some objection. Here are some ideas and generic chore charts for young children that you can use to help you.
