YOUNGER KIDS
Your child enjoys hearing stories, especially those told by a parent. Tell your child
parts of The Big God Story often, emphasizing that these are all real people and
real situations. As he learns to read on his own, encourage a love for Scripture by
showing him where he can find these stories in his own Bible.
OLDER KIDS
Your child uses language to express feelings and tell stories. Remind her that
God has a special place for her in His big story and encourage her to share
stories about how she sees God in her everyday life.
