Resources for 5-7 year olds
Children that are 5-7 years old can often grasp a massive love for God and love to read His Word. The key is to having great resources that will inspire and ignite their passion further. But first and foremost, remember that as their parent you are one of their greatest resources! The wealth of knowledge and understanding of God that you bring will help power them to go further in their relationship with God. So make sure that you’re in your Bible and getting to a grow group (where possible) so that you are fully prepared to answer their questions when needed. Sound scary?
