Sooner or later, parents, your kids are going to ask the “big” questions. It’s important to be ready with a solid answer.
“Mom, where did I come from?”
“Why am I here and what’s the meaning of life, Dad?”

I believe giving your child a faith in God is one of the greatest gifts you can give them. When it comes to parenting, start with a faith foundation. That must come first before everything else can fall into place.
Many parents today shy away from teaching their child faith because they don’t want to “impose” their views on their children. The media has made people of faith appear close-minded and judgmental, so the last thing we want is to teach our kids something that is unpopular.
Despite today’s cultural climate toward the Judeo-Christian faith, I believe if there is a time in history when children need to learn about the character of God, the meaning and wisdom of the scriptures and what the Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish traditions hold, it is now.
Here’s the bottom line: when it comes to teaching your children about God and faith, there is no room for political correctness. The stakes are too high. This is your child’s life and well being that we are talking about, and every child has the right to know God.
Children who don’t have a well-grounded understanding of why they are here, that they have a purpose in life, and why they are important are the most vulnerable to being led astray into self-destructive behaviors.
Every single child is born for a reason, and every child needs to know that he is no accident.
