Be a Good Mirror for Your Child. Everything you do or say, every habit you have, your tone of voice, your expressions, all teach your child what the world is and how he fits into it. What he sees in you is a mirror of the bigger world. What he sees in you is a mirror of who he is. Children as young as three enjoy sitting for a few minutes and meditating.
Altars are individual shrines that children can create.
Prayer is a habit that a child will integrate as part of his day if you demonstrate your prayerful times and methods. Each Day a New Beginning. We can start fresh each day as the parent we want to be. So you lost your temper, fed the kids fast food again, did nothing to nurture your own soul much less theirs, had no structure at all, and dismissed your daughter as she tried to share her dream with you. Starting over each day, with the assurance that we are not in this alone, is spirit in action.
