Motherhood: Teaching Children How To Pray And Study The Word (1)

Great Mothers!

As a mother, you might wish to help your child grow spiritually and develop a closer relationship with God. Because they are still building their conceptions of God, teaching prayer to young children can be challenging and complicated. Fortunately, you can set an example for them and provide them with examples of how to pray for their pleasure and the happiness of others. Once you make it a part of your child’s daily routine, leading them in prayer is simple.

We show our kids how to count their fingers and toes as well as the colors of the rainbow. We show them how to express their gratitude by saying “thank you” and their regret by saying “I’m sorry” when necessary. We provide our kids with the tools they need to express what they are experiencing and thinking. We must instruct them in social communication. We must be sure to educate children on how to communicate with God.

When children are still in the womb they feed from what the mother takes, after birth, food consumed by the mother is converted into milk that the baby takes. But unless the child is weaned and taught to feed for himself/herself, the child cannot develop and mature. So also Christian mothers are persons who have mastered the art of spending time with God alone while learning and developing from what they “consume” on their own and then teach their children how to do the same.

The “weaning process” can be started through prayer, which can also help you to raise kids who will one day grow into strong, mature Christians. Then, the children are taught how to spend time with God through prayers and the study of the word. Also, teaching our children the advantages of doing so, and also cheering them out with personal experience with them will go a long way.

More of this will be discussed in my next article.
