While we as parents model Christianity to become an
example and train them as best as we possibly can...Our efforts are wee little comparatively to God’s.
But our God, in His mercy gently leads us parents in
the path we should take to encourage our children to
live a fulfilled life with Jesus.
Helping kids fall in love with God is obviously a lifetime pursuit.
There is no ”formula” that guarantees success in 30days or your money back.
Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should
go and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

II Timothy 3:15
“And how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures
which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in
Christ Jesus.”

Parenting Science from an Amazing God:
A baby’s brain begins to form just three weeks after conception.
During this time, trillions of neurons are produced, reaching a lifetime highbefore birth.
Synapses—connections between cells in the brain—are rapidly developed,with memory beginning at only four months in utero!
These beginning years of life prove scientifically to be the foundational
launching point for a human being’s entire life.”

GOALS
In the early years I recommendmaterial closely tied to the
bible to lay a groundwork for all learning:
The reality of Jesus Christ dying on the cross for their sins…
The concept ofpraying and talk
ing to God
Their identity as a child of God
Learn Bible verses
Heroes of Faith as role models and gatekeepers (David and
Goliath to Esther)

This fundamental time is an amazing opportunity for us to
be builders of healthy minds.
How?
Every word that we speak is an electromagnetic light
impulse that develops neural pathways or connections in
the brain establishing memory.
This forms an automatic habit of thinking that will stay with
a child for the rest of their life.

In addition, 75% of a child’s personality is recognized by the
time they reach three years old.
During this precious time of life, trust is established, identity
is shaped, and the mind is developed—at the very same
time the spirit is alive and receptive to the Word of God ,
which knows no age, height, or stature.
The human brain thrives when words and actions of
validation, love, nurture, and truth are freely expressed.

I personally like a tight correlation
between what they EAT SPIRITUALLY
and WHAT they know foundationally.
The goal is to get those bible storiesdown, memory verses, a few truths
for a firmer foundation before
digesting a wider variety of materials.

Impressionable ages
Fun season - they still like playing
Can still listen to music / DVDs even if not “cool”
They learn more self-awareness in this phase Scripture is laid intentionally on the heart to help them feel
happier about themselves and life.
They understand the reality of an adversary (bad guy) and
a battle that they are in helps….especially the boys.

Its critical at this stage to teach them to communicate with God (both talking to and
hearing direction and encouragement from Him) before potential teen resistance:
“Call unto me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you
know not.” Jer. 33
“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me” John 10:27

I became “that” kid in high school years:
My parents prayed, stuck with me and disciplined me.
They trusted God and pushed me to Him as much as they knew how=)

GOD WILL HELP US wherever we are at….
Even if we missed the mark before and are playing catchup.
If God brings things to your attention, He obviously will help
you. Just ask. God promises to teach our children:
“And all your children shall be taught of the LORD;
and great shall be the peace of your children.
Isaiah 54:13
