I picked this book up when I was teaching Kindergarten and I'm so glad that I kept it because it is an awesome resource for building a spiritual foundation with my children. This book is part of Focus on the Family. The book is divided into 4 parts: The single most important task for Christian parents, How to pass on your Spiritual legacy, The content of your Spiritual legacy and Practical questions and resources.
There is one section I wanted to share with you today. For ages 0-4 you can lay the foundation with your child. So I have a 2 year old and these are the important topics that I bring into his daily life in various ways:
*God exists
*God and Jesus love you
*God wants to take care of you
*God created everything
*God created you
How do I do this? Well, in conversations when we are learning about animals I say, "What a beautiful animal that God created." And every night I say to my son, "Daddy loves you, Mommy loves you, Jesus loves you most of all." My son is always very eager to pray and he is even learning how to sing Jesus Loves Me. There are just so many simple ways to give your children a Spiritual foundation. Be sure to check out this book so you can give your family a heritage of faith in God.
