Easter – A Time for Spritual Evaluation

Next Sunday is Easter Sunday. The 40 days of lent is almost over. During this period of lent I have been thinking about how to start the boys on their journey to understanding GOD.  Spiritual education , to me, is also an important part in their holistic education.

We are Catholics and the boys have been baptized when they were born.  I haven’t really introduced the boys much to our faith besides the weekly church service and now Ryan is attending Sunday School since he is in K1.

I bought this book for Ryan last year or so as a tool to introduce him to reading the bible. Unfortunately we are still  stuck in Genesis  and I have yet to make our way down to the other books in the bible.

DLTK-Bible is an interesting site which has lots of printable activities relating to the bible.  While browsing over at that site I came across songs, poems and crossword puzzles which pre-schoolers would enjoy doing.  There are activities even suitable for 2-3yr old. I intend to use these activities to supplement our weekly bible reading.

How do you intend to build up your child’s spiritual quotient?

    hmmm… when it comes to GOD… not much introduction is needed for kids… *smile* that’s how I feel… its amazing how kids could actually understand and show FAITH better than adults who have been studying the bible for years!!!

    Hi Dominique,
    Even though my husband and I are not church-goers, I would like my kids to experience the power of prayer and to enjoy the wonderful stories in the Bible. I have been thinking of buying a children’s Bible; as bedtime stories it would be great.

    @Angeline,
    Agree that Kids have more faith then adults. They believe more readily. Just want to get them into the habit of reading the bible and learn more about the various books in it :)
