Saw this video clip on youtube and thought it was powerful. What we teach our children implicitly will probably have more of an impact than what we think we are teaching them explicitly. I love the shema in Judaism with its emphasis on teaching the words of God to our children. See Deuteronomy 6 verses 4-9. Hope this makes you think as it did for me being a grandparent these days.

Really powerful. Thanks Mike.

Good post, (and it can work the other way around sometimes, as our children can become our teachers in faith.)

It’s true… both good and bad. My 3-year-old just said her first prayer (‘thank you God for my food, and for aliens’). Now to stop her swearing.

Hole in one, mate. We all acquire it somewhere, good or bad. Many thanks for sharing it…
