You have caused praise to come from the mouths of children and infants (Matt. 21:16).

If you have young children, help them prepare age-appropriate comments. At some meetings, sensitive topics are discussed, such as marital problems or moral issues. However, there may be one or two paragraphs on which the children can comment. You can also help your children understand why they won't be able to comment every time they raise their hand. If you explain this to your children, they won't be upset when the comment is given to someone else instead of them (1 Tim. 6:18).

We can all prepare good comments that honor Jehovah and encourage our brothers and sisters (Prov. 25:11). Although we may occasionally briefly share a personal experience, we should not talk too much about ourselves (Prov. 27:2; 2 Cor. 10:18). Rather, we should focus on Jehovah, his Word, and his people as a whole (Rev. 4:11).

How should we react if we were unable to speak at the meeting?

When many brothers offer to comment, we may not be able to participate as much as we would like. The meeting may even end without us having commented even once. Of course, that can be very frustrating, but we should not take offense. (Eccl. 7:9)

What can we do to encourage those who have commented?

Even if you may not be able to participate as much as you would like, you can always listen attentively to the comments of others and commend them after the meeting. Your kind words may encourage the brothers as much as the comments you wanted to make (Prov. 10:21). When we commend others, we also encourage them.

What will be the result if we think about others in our meetings? (Romans 1:11, 12).

Although there are no strict rules about how to comment at the meetings, we can all make an effort to encourage others by participating. For some brothers and sisters, this means commenting a little more. For others, it means being content with the opportunities they have to comment and being happy that others also want to respond. If we think about others at the meetings, we will all enjoy encouraging one another. (Read Romans 1:11, 12.)
