Prepare your children to share their faith as a way to build confidence. When your children keep up with homework and diligently study for a test, they can approach the test with confidence. The same is true with sharing your faith. We can help our children clear the fear hurdle by preparing them to share their faith. There are books, seminars and helpful methods that you can investigate to take some of the unknown out of sharing your faith.
Role play with possible school conversations.
Memorize helpful scriptures as a family project. Anything that reduces fear will increase confidence. Model what you want your child to learn. A father teaches his boy to catch a ball by heading out to the yard with mitts and ball. A mother passes down a family recipe by showing her daughter how to prepare it.
