As a Christian mom it’s your responsibility
to lead your children to God. I am an advocate of starting early or catch-them-young-approach.
My daughter is almost 3 years can recite all the verses of Psalm 127.
Once a toddler can speak clearly it is easy
to teach simple Psalms and memory verses. Here are the few ideas.
· Make sure the environment is quiet with little distractions. This will
improve the concentration level. Don’t teach the child when s/he is almost
asleep. Do it when there is a lot of excitement so they get interested and stay that
way.
· Pray together before you start and when you are done.
· Make your child reads after you. Saying short tenses slowly while
the child listens is a good way to start. Make sure he/she has attention
focused on your mouth so they can pronounce correctly.
· You can use a bible version with simplified English words (you can
try NIV or NKJV etc). This makes it easier for the child to understand what
s/he is memorizing. You can also use colorful bible for kids.
· Try to explain how ever you can the meaning of what they are
reciting. Well don’t be hard on yourself when they seem not to comprehend, with
time they will.
· Stay on one memory verse for a couple of weeks. Remember they are
young saying the scripture over and over again for several days will help them remember
and start reciting on their own.
· Encourage them to recite to your hearing while you correct their
mistakes.
· Applaud with a treat to encourage the good work done. Show him/her you
are proud of how far they have learnt the verse.
Hope this works for you. You can share your experience too in the comments section Below.
Thanks for reading God Bless.
