Raising Christian Children


Many parents want to raise their children in God's light, yet they do not know how to do it. The following are some steps you can take to make sure you are on the right path to raising Christian children!



Live a Christian life yourself - A child will not learn to live as a Christian if the child's parents are not living a Christian lifestyle. This is a case of "monkey see, monkey do." Change things in your life to make sure you are living a Christian life. It is not easy, and we cannot be perfect, but it is important to do this step! want to continue reading the bible if they see their parents reading to them.

Read the Bible with your children - You cannot teach what you do not know. Read the Bible to learn what to teach to your children but most importantly, read with your children. They will learn more and want to continue reading the bible if they see their parents reading to them.



Find a good church home - If you can, start right away. With our children, we started from birth so our church family has become an extended family and has taken part in raising our girls. This is so important. Find ways to volunteer at your church. This is big in the eyes of your children!

Pray, Pray, Pray With Them - This is probably the most important step. Parents need to pray separetly but parents need to pray with their children too. This will teach the children how to pray. After all, it has been said your relationship with the Lord is based on your relationship with your father. This means, Dads you need to be praying with your children.

Interesting article. May I give you details of my website which gives features my recently published book DID GOD MAKE THOSE BANANAS? The book is the story of our family and includes many practical ideas for Christian parents who want to lead their child to a living faith. It includes faith-building activities, seasonal celebrations, guidance for prayer-times and a peep behind the scenes on our Family Night. I can be contacted via the website susanrichards.org

I started reading the bible to my girls when they we're very young. They now read on their own, and are great human beings. I commend you on raising your kids with strong christian values. God Bless

For me, I always want to see my children succeed in something meaningful with their education as well as their religion. I'm thinking about this Christian school for my son this next year. What do you suggest as he makes this transition to a religious school?
