How to Give Your Child Faith in God: Then your child will have a greater chance of having happiness and spiritual satisfaction–avoiding the risks of depression, anxiety, and high risk behaviors

About this book

Give Him/Her a Faith in GodThen your child will have a greater chance of having happiness, self-esteem, and spiritual satisfaction–avoiding the risks of depression, anxiety, and high-risk behaviors.Teaching our children about God is one of the greatest and yet most frustrating jobs we have as parents. Many parents feel inadequate to teach their children about God, but they shouldn’t be. Our children simply want to know who God is and what He is like. At the beginning of their faith journey, they want to know less about religious rules and more about the “person” of God. They ask questions like, “Does He float?” “How tall is He?” and “Can I see through Him?”The truth is, inviting questions about God is important and fun. You don’t have to have all of the answers to their questions at first, but you will want to have answers eventually so dig until you find them. Challenge yourself to pray, read the scriptures and get to church or synagogue regularly. In fact, the same word for “teacher” in Hebrew means “learner.” Embrace this wonderful part of parenting- it will bring you closer to your child, it will open his mind to deeper things, and it will add a critical strength that he will need to draw from as he gets older.
