Surprising Effects Of Having God Talk with Kids

How do you talk to kids about God?
Mrs. Raizi Chechik, distinguished educator, scholar, and lecturer, shares her deep insights on cultivating spirituality within children. From rich emotional and psychological benefits to the natural sense of wonder and curiosity it offers, she urges us to open the 'God talk' conversation.
Children's spirituality is innate -- and it's up to parents and educators to cherish and encourage it. Even when we're struggling with the idea of God ourselves.

I love your voice! So easy to listen to. I bet all your students just love you. Thank you for your work. I wish I had Jewish school and everything Jewish as I grew up. I just wasn’t brought up that way. We observed all the major holidays and it was fun and the food was always out of this world delish! I miss that. Everyone is gone now.

Thank you so much for sharing this! Please keep updating us on this topic, and also advice for parents of older adult children that struggle in their faith. It’s hard to want to share with your kids about the LORD when they don’t have an appetite for Him. 😢It’s heartbreaking to see them struggle, while you know that He exists and He can help. Our adult children need prayer and care, too! ❤

reminds me of a funny story, yet not so funny, with my youngest brother. he was about 8 at the time. teaming with an older boy, they went out and started uncoupling train cars. my mom found out and call the police. the police in our small town sent out a helicopter. from the sky boomed the words "JD, this is God. Go home now!" he got home, all shaken up, telling us he heard God speak to him and he wouldn't mess with trains anymore. yes, having God speak to your kids can be very effective.
