ENGAGE IN EVERYDAY MOMENTS TOGETHER
Morning Time
When you go into your child's room, pretend you can't see them and say: "Good morning! [Child's name]? Where are you, [child's name]? (Listen as you slowly walk to them.) I hear you (giggling, talking). There you are! I could hear you. (Cuddle your child.) Do you know who else we can hear from? We can hear from God when we read His words in the Bible."
Drive Time
While on the go, take turns naming the things you hear. Was that a bird? Car horn? Airplane? When you get home, talk about how we can hear from God when we read the Bible because the Bible has God's words in it.
Cuddle Time
Cuddle with your child and pray: "God, thank You for the Bible. Thank You that we can read Your words and hear from You. Help us listen and do what You say. We love You, God."
Bath Time
During bath time, take turns making animal sounds and guessing the animal. As you dry your child off, say: "That was fun! We could hear each other making animal sounds. We can hear from God, too, when we read the Bible!"
Commitment is making a plan and
putting it into practice.
