Preschooler Prayers: Teaching Your Little One to Talk to God by Dami Oguntolu

In the whirlwind of getting your little one ready for preschool, managing diaper changes, messy mealtimes, and tucking them into bed, it's easy to overlook a small yet significant activity that lays the groundwork for their journey of faith - Prayer Routine!

Starting early may prompt questions – why teach them prayers when they may not fully understand?

The answer lies in the profound impact these early introductions can have on their lives. Even if they may not grasp the significance immediately, there are several reasons why beginning this journey early is invaluable:

1. Instilling Core Values: Introducing prayers creates a framework for understanding the importance of faith in God from an early age.
2. Providing Stability: Prayer routines offer a sense of consistency and connection with God in the midst of daily life's ups and downs.
3. Forming Habits: Habits developed in childhood often become deeply ingrained. Starting the habit of prayer at this age helps foster a natural inclination to turn to God.
4. Family Bonding: Incorporating prayer becomes a shared family experience, strengthening the bond between parent and child, and creating positive family connections.

So how can we introduce prayers to preschoolers?
