Guiding Children through Religion

Someone sent me this link to an audio program where three mothers share their spiritual journeys and how they convey their religious convictions to their children.

NPRs Guiding Children through Religion (The audio is 17 minutes long.)

There are three differing perspectives – a Muslim mother exposing her son to a wide range of religious beliefs, a Catholic mother struggling with her own faith in light of her daughter’s experiences with the church, and a Protestant mother who is looking to engender “sticky faith” in her children (follow the link to see her book on Amazon).

I encourage you to listen and reflect on your own approach to religious education.
