Introduce religious education to your kids.

First of all, I'm trying to be frank that I'm not in the position to discuss how to guide your kids on formal religious teaching, but trying to share my own experience as a medium in introducing religious teaching to be an important part of their personal development.

It's all God's will to have a church mentor stayed few doors away from me and with her passionate explanation, I let my kids attend Sat school. Of course in the early stage, it is more for social opportunities than for spiritual guidance. Every session is packed with fun-filled activities and child-friendly religious discussions.Sometimes, they do have outing for older children (young adult).

The idea here is not to discuss which religion is better to your kids, but to talk about expose your kids as early as possible to spirituality, faith, hope, and morality. It doesn't matter if you're a free thinker or not. The main point is to raise a compassionate child through religious teaching.

If we as a parent doesn't play a part to introduce them to any religious teaching, they most likely will be living religion-free lives in later years. Most likely they will become self-centered, more fragile to the fast-moving world as well as having higher chance to suffer depression. Having a religious background is actually to provide them a sense of self-valued, hope and faith before they have to face the challenging world.
