Episode 2: Teaching Your Child to Pray Aug 02, 2018

Show notes

Does teaching your preschooler how to pray feel overwhelming? Whether talking to God is a regular part of your life or you’re learning to pray, too, we want to take the pressure off! Prayer is simply talking to God as if he’s your best friend. We want to encourage and equip you to teach your preschooler that they can talk to him anytime, anywhere, about anything. It’s all part of your child growing, developing, and learning more about who God is.

In this episode, Kendra Fleming shares the “why” behind the importance of prayer at this age and offers practical tips for establishing routines and forming new habits. We want to help you guide your kids toward praying for things that are on their hearts and minds. This teaches them that they have a connection to a God who loves them, made them, and cares about them.

Here are some of the questions we talk about in this episode. These are great for helping your preschooler kick-start conversations with God:

What did you see today that was really “wow” and amazing?
What was something really good that happened today?
Who is someone you know that needs help?
Who helped you today?
Who was fun today?
What is something bad that happened today?
What is something that made you really sad today?

Do you ever wonder if your preschooler is prepared for the next stage of life? Big next steps, like kindergarten, are coming their way. We know you want them to be ready, and we’re here to help! Every parent wants their kids to be confident, independent, and capable, but sometimes it’s hard to know when to let them do more on their own and when to step in to help.

In this episode, Kendra Fleming and Natalie Kitchen talk about practical tips for helping your preschooler gain confidence as they grow physically, socially, and spiritually.

They talk about the importance of helping your child:

Take risks
Try to do things themselves
Have conversations with adults
Learn that they have a voice
Have confidence in God
Learn to pray

Natalie taught high school for nine years before joining our North Point Ministries staff. She has three children (ages 5, 7, and 9) and speaks with wisdom and experience. You’re sure to come away with some great tips for helping your preschooler gain confidence as you encourage, challenge, and celebrate them.
