Proverbs 22:6 tells us to: “Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old, they will not turn from it.” This is not a promise but a directive from God that we should be helping our children learn about the importance and value of God’s truth, promises, commandments, and instructions for life.
Teaching and learning require self-discipline and consistency. The process of learning offers many opportunities to make it easy and fun for our kids – and us – to learn together. You can help your children learn colors, the alphabet, and numbers with the Bible. For example, teach colors in nature by saying something like: Jesus created all earthly things with the Father. He created green trees and grass, yellow sunflowers, red birds, and the blue sky.
