Godly men like Joseph, Daniel, Samuel, and Timothy all showed faithfulness at an early age. God has given us the natural instinct to love our children, and we want to give them the best things in life. With what I have gathered from various sources, I would like to suggest some principles that I believe are helpful in building seeds of faith in preschoolers ages five and under. While I will recommend some practices as reference, please keep in mind that individuals respond differently to the same event, so flexibility and creativity are necessary for this important task. In addition to prenatal care and vitamins, I consider prayer to be the most essential element for an unborn child.
Every adult is the product of both nature and nurture.
Normally, parents are responsible for nurturing their children and providing them with the best environment possible. During both of my pregnancies, my husband and I prayed that God would grant us faithful children who would obey Him with all their hearts, and we prayed that if He so willed, He would give them the necessary gifts to help with the Lord's work. We believe that as long as God is with our children, everything else will be so much easier to handle. It is helpful for us to have this understanding even before the arrival of our children. Although babies appear to do little, they can actually absorb much information at this stage.
