As a Protestant, I never just handed my kids a Bible and said here, read this... we have always guided them... plus we had them study the Puritan catechism written by Charles Spurgeon... they memorized each question and answer... and then were required to explain each answer using scripture...

There’s nothing wrong with just letting the kids read and discover things on their own. I’ve learned plenty of things as I’ve had to answer questions from our kids that I never saw in certain Scriptures.

Exactly. And that’s the point.

Replace ‘puritan catechism’ with ‘Baltimore catechism’, and that’s exactly what we do as well.
