Children’s Books Plant Seeds

 
 
 

Seed Planting Time! www.DonnaPerugini.com for seeds!

Gardeners have been checking out their seed options for months now.  Spring is in the air and soil is being prepared

.

Did you know that’s what you’re doing everytime you look for a children’s book for your child?

When a gardener wants a new plant, he/she checks for hardiness in their area. They keep in mind what has already been planted and will be something to enrich the view, support the surrounding plants and give them joy while they reap the benefits upon maturity. Yes, that’s your child in a nutshell!

 Look to Your Child’s Personality for Book Choices

You look at what their ‘bent’ is…which way their personality is showing a leaning. Do they love art? Then you look for books that are rich in illustrations and possibly have the specific art media and crafts they love in it. This is a good thought on the natural side of the five senses, but what about their little spirits? They are spirit, soul and body just like us.

How Would I Plant Something Hardy in Them Spiritually?

1. Locate them spiritually. Are they talking about Jesus, or angels, prayer or bible stories?
 2. If they are already learning about Jesus, add in prayer as the way they talk to their friend and Savior. You would look for a book that had elements of learning to pray.
3. Once you find the book with the right enriching elements, you read the story to them, emphasising what you see in their lives. Talk about Jesus being a friend and we talk with friends. Tell them you take problems with their own friends to Jesus and tell Him about the issues. Show them how you pray by praying with them…like a practice.
4. Emphasize how the person who knows the most is the one who should speak the most. Yes, let Jesus can talk with them because He knows the most and the bible says they hear His voice. Another way to hear His voice is read what He says in the bible.

    Very true! I grew up loving the Berstein Bear books and have been so encouraged to see faith lessons drawn out in more recent publications that I’ve been reading to my 5 yr old. It’s amazing what kinds of lessons can continue to be learned by virtue of a good story (your books are included for sure!) 🙂

      Thanks for including my books in your recommendations, Heidi! Have you gone online to see if there is any further curriculum material with those children’s books? It seems to be a current trend for helping parents, Sunday School teachers and grandparents gain more value with the books.

      Be sure to check out my Orville Wright Caterpillar to Butterfly curriculum with a craft, questions and answers about the book and a place to even purchase real cocoons that will hatch at your home. I did it once and it was awesome!

      Hi, Brook!
      Stopping by your blog keeps me on my toes regarding the Word of God. Tell me more about the work you’re talking about.

      Your title, “The Devid Made Me Do It!” is a total eye-catcher!

    The movie you are putting out is certainly one children will love.

    I’ve checked out your site and recommend it to parents that want some extra materials to go with the movie or to even use before the movie and get the children involved.

    Congratulations on your success!
