Teaching learners about God

[Guest guest]

,

Evy has always done an excellent job learning from videos. Veggietales

in particular have helped us reinforce the specific simple religious

teachings that Evy has learned at home. Most of our earliest religious

lessons have started with " You know how Bob the Tomato decided to... "

We approach moral/social lessons from a very simplistic Judeo-Christian

background. We talk about God openly, and that he wants us to obey

parents, teachers and to always choose the right. We talk about what

is right and wrong against a simple moral framework. The nice thing

about religious principles I find is that they can be adapted for the

weakest of the weak--assuming you have a communication framework

wherein to teach. Sometimes, kindergardeners have a better

understanding of right and wrong than adults, don't you think? We

teach (and this one I think is critical) that he can choose to DISobey

ANYONE who is telling him to do something that is wrong or against

God's teachings, be they adult, parent or teacher. I can't tell you

how funny it is to have a four year old tell you very emphatically that

you are disobeying God! Anyhow, I think it is important to teach the

fundamentals of your faith, whatever it may be, as early as it can be

understood.
