    [1] Every child is different, so focus on your child’s specific needs. Have they been asking about Christ? Are they asking questions about the hows and whys of the world? These are tell-tale signs that your child is curious about who God and Jesus are.
    • God and Jesus may already be household names if you're raising your child in a Christian home. In this case, they may know God and Jesus’ name, but it may be time to discuss why they’re important.

    When you tuck your child into bed, say the Lord’s prayer and/or list off the parts of the day you’re both thankful for. Praying with your child will help them learn how to talk to God while counting their blessings. [2]

    • Consider praying before meals to show your child that they can thank the Lord for everything in their life.

    Children learn best by example, so show your child what it means to follow God and be a good Christian . Follow the 10 Commandments and be compassionate, kind, and honest in all you do. If you follow the golden rules, you’re child most likely will, too! [3]

    • Honor your word and promises, even if things don’t go according to plan.
    • Give people the benefit of the doubt and avoid judging books by their covers.

    What child doesn’t like a good story? Thankfully, there are hundreds of Bible stories that can entertain and educate kids. Sit down with your child and read them a picture book of one of your favorite Bible stories. Maybe that’s the story of Adam and Eve, David and Goliath, or Zacchaeus. [4]
    • Use silly voices, sound effects, or dramatic hand gestures to keep your child engaged with the story. [5]
    • There are hundreds of kid-friendly Bible story books out there to pick from for children of all ages.
    • If your child isn’t a big reader, introduce them to cartoon versions of these stories. Search “Bible stories for kids” on YouTube or check out The Beginners Bible ’s channel.

    A hands-on activity can get your child excited to learn about God and Jesus. Sit down together and make craft stick crosses, draw a picture of Jesus, or bead bracelets with Christian-themed charms . Talk to your child about the Bible and the importance of the symbols they're using in their craft. [6]

    Children love to sing and dance, and listening to faith-based music can help them learn about Jesus’ love for them. [7] Search for kid-friendly Christian music playlists on Spotify , iHeartRadio , or YouTube , or buy a physical kid-friendly Christian CD to play in the car.
    • Ask your pastor if there are any songs, artists, CDs, or radio stations they would recommend.
    • Listen to the music before playing it for your child so you can be prepared to answer any questions they may have while listening.

    Let your child experience the power of Christ through worship. Enroll them in Sunday school or ask if they want to participate in church activities like Vacation Bible School (VBS) over the summer. Not only is this a great way to introduce your child to God and Jesus, but it also helps them make friends. [8]

    Even toddlers may already have an idea of who God and Jesus are. You might say something like, “What do you know about God?” or “Tell me about Jesus.” Listen closely to your child’s response to discover how they’re understanding Christ.
    • For example, many children know of Jesus as the baby in the manager at Christmas, but may not understand that Christmas is Jesus’ birthday. While participating in festive activities, talk about Jesus to teach your child the reason for the season.
    • When your child asks you questions, answer them honestly and ask a question in return. This will help them put faith in their own words. For instance, if your child asks, “Where does God live?” you might reply with something like, “God lives in heaven up in the sky, so He can watch over you every day. What do you think God does in heaven?” [9]
    • Invite your child to ask you questions too. Creating an environment where they can question things and have meaningful conversations will strengthen their faith. [10]

    Connect what you’re saying with things the child does, cares about, and knows. Rather than going into lengthy religious explanations, keep your language and terminology simple yet engaging. This doesn’t mean you need to lie to your child but talk with words they understand in an upbeat, joyful tone. In other words, tell stories of Christ in the language you use with them every day. For instance, share the story of Adam and Eve in stages with a friendly attitude: [11]
    • Stage 1: “God created the heavens and earth. He made a beautiful garden called the Garden of Eden and Adam and Eve to live there. They could do whatever they wanted except eat the fruit from a forbidden tree.”
    • Stage 2: “One day, Eve was tempted by an evil snake. The snake tricked Eve into eating the fruit and disobeying God. The fruit was delicious—the best thing Eve had ever tasted! So, she ran to Adam and asked him to eat the fruit too.”
    • Stage 3: “Adam and Eve felt guilty because they broke God’s only rule. As a punishment, God asked them to leave the garden and never return.”
    • Stage 4: “God has given you the power to know what’s right and wrong, just like Adam and Eve, but you must obey His rules.”

    Share the stories of how He created the world and helped people understand the difference between good and evil. Try saying something like, "God is a loving being, and He made everything you love because he loves you. He made the sun, grass, and even dogs. He guides us every day to be the best versions of ourselves, and you can talk to Him at any time because He's always there to help you." [12]
    • Ask your child questions to help them understand God’s importance. If you’re talking about how God created the heavens and earth, ask, “Why do you think God made trees?” or “What can you see that God created?”

    Once your child has an understanding of who God is, talk to them about Jesus. Let them know that Jesus came into the world to save us—to be our savior—but is just like them. Jesus had friends and family, cared about people, and helped those in need. Paint him as a real person your child can look up to.
    • Your child may already know Jesus’ name from holidays such as Christmas and Easter. Relay these familiar stories and emphasize Jesus’ role in them.

    Above all else, your child knows what it means to love someone—after all, they love you with all their heart! Let them know that the love you have for them and they have for you is how God and Jesus feel about them. You might say something like:
    • “God and Jesus love you very much, Michael.”
    • “You know how much I love you, Jessica? Well, God and Jesus love you just as much!”
    • “God and Jesus protect you, mommy, daddy, your sister, brother, and all your friends, all because they love you.”

    Even if you don’t believe in God, it’s important to discuss religion with your child, especially if they ask about it. Talk open-mindedly about what you and others believe about God and Jesus. Encourage your child’s curiosity by showing both sides to a religious debate so that one day they can decide if they do or don’t believe in God. [13]
    • Ask your child what they’ve heard about God and Jesus.
    • Keep your language simple when discussing religion with them.
    • Explain to your child that there are many religions and depictions of God.
    • Express the importance to respect other beliefs even if they don’t believe them.
    • Convey that someone doesn’t have to believe in God to be a good person.

    Expert Answer
    Show your children the beauty of the world around them. Point out the universe, the sounds, and all the amazing things in nature and tell them that it was God who created all of this and existed before anything else. Explain that God made the world and put us on Earth to take care of it. When we disobeyed God, it caused problems, but God promised a way to fix it. Since we couldn't fix the mistakes ourselves, God sent Jesus, His son, to Earth and put on human flesh. Explain that Jesus lived a perfect life, unlike us who made mistakes, and that He took the punishment for our mistakes. Tell them that Jesus took all our bad and gave us all His good, making it possible for us to have a relationship with God again. Emphasize that Jesus, being God, could do this for us, and that His resurrection is an important part of this story. To put it plainly, explain the story of creation, brokenness, and redemption: God made everything good, then we broke it, but Jesus came to fix it. This way, we can be in a relationship with God again.
