Teaching Your Child About Worship

In our family, worship is an important part of our lives. We attend church regularly, even though you would never know from the reaction of my 4 year old. He has gone to the nursery since he was 6 weeks old, hardly missing a week! This morning, he cried when we dropped him off! 4 years later, and he still cries.

Every week when we are getting ready, he says he does not want to go. Every week, we tell him this is what our family does... we worship God on Sundays. He still tries to talk us out of going.

My little girl, on the other hand, loves going and visiting her teacher, Mrs. Dee. She says very few understandable words, but she says "Mrs. Dee." Most days, she runs in excited to see her teacher and her friends.

Since my children do not go to school, this is there opportunity to be away from mommy and daddy, learn to sit and listen, and learn about God. My son comes home each week and tells me the story he has learned.

These lessons not only teach your children about worship, but teach them about the values and traditions your family believes are important.

So matter how your family worships or teaches values, make sure you teach them beginning at the earliest of ages.
