2 year old at church

Awww I’m sorry but is there a children church?

I still feel like that is still really little for him to be able control himself. I have just been taking my 1 year old girl to the kids area now. I couldn't have her in the actual church she wouldn't sit still. But they are supposed to be that way currently. You are not a bad mom. You are doing your job by bringing your child there. "Let all the little children come to me" said Jesus.

Definitely not a bad mum kids at that age cannot sit still or understand what's happening. If there are more children that age maybe suggest there is an area for mum and young babies to go where you can see and hear the sermon but you guys have a free space for your babies/young toddlers to move around. With how many babies our church just got they had to create a separate room otherwise it would stress everyone out - mums feeling anxious about the noise and older people unable to hear. This is just a season too I'm currently in a season where taking my kids to church means I'm not always able to pay attention or listen to the sermon but we're not forsaking the gathering and doing holy work by raising and training our children it's not going to be perfect. Church is God's house and children belong where their heavenly Father is, their participation just looks different God doesn't see them as a burden they're a blessing. Hope this situation is able to get better for you 🙏🏾❤️

This has been on my heart lately in our own personal way...its sad that modern christian culture has normalized children being a distraction whereas in biblical times children were always attached to their mothers and probably werent seen as so because of that normality

but a friend gave me this encouragement that I hope encourages you. The fact that you are still coming to church with your child is 1. Showing your child that church is important and stewarding what God gave you, and 2. Its worship with your body to just show up to church. He is more of a distraction to you than anyone probably, so you probably aren't able to focus and worship mentally, but the fact you are coming with your child to be in the Lords presence is worship to Him, and I think He honors that. If you have to step aside for a while if he is getting cranky, thats ok to do to. If you have a program for when he turns 3, I hope it encourages you that its only for a short season. And if people are upset, thats between them and the Lord.
