Spiritual
Growth in Small Children |
|
By: Jill
Hart
My daughter is now 18 months old and I have been
pondering the best ways of teaching her spiritual
principles. I have been told that by 3 many kids are
able to memorize short Bible verses. But, what kinds of
activities should I be doing with my small child? |
Some of the things that I have seen make an impact on
her are amazing. The times when I'm wrong and I take the
time to apologize. The times when she falls and skinds
her knee and I am there to kiss her knee and "fix" the
hurt. She has learned to be quiet when we pray before
meals. She has even learned to say "Amen!" after daddy
finishes the prayer.
I think that
it's in these small ways that we teach our children to
know and love the Lord. I don't remember many of the
specific things that my parents did to teach me about
the Lord. And, while these things are improtant, I
believe that it's by example that we will lead our
children to the Lord.
