How Children Learn

Children don´t get it all at once, and neither do we. The Bible isn´t just to be read during family devotions, then forgotten for another 23 hours. We make its precepts relevant in our lives when we practice them throughout the day. Life situations are ideal teaching tools to convey biblical concepts to our children, as most lessons that stick are better "caught" than just "taught." A father teaches honesty when he returns the extra $10 the cashier gave him by mistake. He can reinforce the lesson by discussing it with the child, then reading a Bible verse that teaches honesty. "But the word of the Lord was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little…" Isaiah 28:13
