Introducing children to the Bible at an early age allows them to grow up knowing and applying God’s Word to their life.

Young children are pliable, eager to learn, and enjoy learning about God’s Word. Proverbs reminds us, “Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old, he will not swerve from it.” (Proverbs 22:6) How? Here are some simple, yet important techniques for you to try.

1. Set the example. Establish a daily quiet time for Bible reading, prayer and reflection. Share your excitement. What does God’s Word mean to you? (God’s Word is holy, living, a lamp to my feet, a love letter, sharper than a two edge sword, etc.)

2. Gear your teaching and sharing to the age of your child or children. Younger children respond especially well to Bible songs that relate to an important Bible verse, truth, or story. You can find many great resources online or at your local bookstore.

3. Relate a Scripture passage or story to current events. For example, when the cardinals selected a new pope, this was a memorable reminder that “Where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I in the midst of them” (Mt 18:20).
