Spirituality for Our Children is simply written to help parents teach their children the basics about God. At the beginning of each chapter is a message to parents to help provide an understanding of what the chapter is about. Each chapter then uses a mix of short stories, activities, and meditations written for children to present the concept The meditations are themed, based upon the subject of the chapter. They are very simple, easy to follow and teach relaxation techniques. The words are read in a slow and relaxed manner while your children close their eyes and use their imagination to follow along. These meditations are also a great way to improve children's concentration skills. The activities and stories follow the same theme of the chapter to impress upon children the lesson to be learned. God is presented in a positive, loving way. The intent is for your children to build a relationship to our loving God while having fun.
