ENGAGE IN EVERYDAY MOMENTS TOGETHER
Morning Time
When you go into your child’s room, cuddle them and say: “Good morning, [child’s name]! I wonder what brave things God will help us do today.”
Drive Time
While on the go, look for powerful things like bulldozers, airplanes, big trucks, etc. Tell your child that nothing is more powerful than God and we can be brave because God is powerful!
Cuddle Time
Cuddle with your child and pray: “God, You made everything! You made stars and volcanoes, oceans and animals, and all the people. That’s powerful! And when I remember how powerful You are and that You are with me, I can be brave!”
Bath Time
Add a toy person, bubbles, and a few washcloths to bath time. Tell your child to close their eyes or look away while you hide the toy in the bubbles, under a washcloth, or behind a shampoo bottle. Each time your child finds the toy, say: “God can help me be brave!” Talk about how Rahab was brave and hid the spies because she knew God is powerful.
