Good post. My hubby and I are trying very hard to teach the faith to our children. My eight year old says a rosary every day. He loves Davey and Goliath and other religious programs. He has even shared with me that he might want to be a priest someday!! :)
That is wonderful. I thnk too we need to let our children know who the enemy is. Children love epics and there is nothing more epic then the eternal struggle. They also love a just and happy ending. We can tell them with confidence who triumphs in the end. Emphasising that they too are soldiers in this struggle will appeal to them. They are not bystanders but warriors for Jesus.
