A two or more person rule is always a good idea in nursery and Sunday school classes. That said, my two year old is greeted in nursery by several different (they rotate weeks) male volunteers who greet him with a high-five and a “how’s it goin’, dude?” He loves it. He loves the hugs he gets from the female volunteers, too. Kids need both. I would be disappointed if he only saw women on Sunday.

His dad goes to church regularly, but for those kids who don’t have dads at home or whose dads don’t attend church, they especially need to see that church is a place for men and women both.
