As Tiffani stated in her post, the preschool leadership team is reading the book Parenting Beyond Your Capacity by Reggie Joiner and Carey Nieuwhof. Reggie states that no one has more potential to influence your child than you. Your child's spiritual development begins very early, even before birth. It's a journey that begins by praying for him/her from the moment you find out this little one that is God's gift to you will become part of your family. It is your responsibility as the parent to lay the foundation for your child's spiritual development. You partner with the church and any other Godly influences that you choose to introduce into your child's life.
God's grace and love are experienced through your body language and words to them and by telling them that God made them and loves them. As your child builds trust with you he/she will be able to trust God later in life. Modeling God's love reminds them that they are loved and that Jesus loves them.
I am reminded all the time that we never stop parenting. My adult children still look to me at times for guidance. It's such a joy to continue the journey with my grandchildren!
Blessings for the journey,
Pam
