20. How to Have Gospel Centered Conversations with Elementary Age Kids

Welcome back to the kitchen table. This week Bethany is continuing the talk about how to have those gospel centered conversations with kids in every age and stage of life. This week we are focusing on the elementary age. Maybe you have a child in that stage, maybe you will have one soon, or perhaps your child has already been through that phase but you just want to reflect on that time. Either way this week is for you! 

The elementary phase is an interesting one because they are still little enough that they want to do everything with mommy but big enough that you can begin having real conversations with them. They love jokes and stories as they move from a concrete thinker to a more abstract thinker. This is the phase where we can begin to unfold the gospel to our child and how Jesus shows himself in all the great stories of the bible and our life still today. 

This week Bethany is walking us through

How to pray to see our Child as God sees them How to recognize sin tendencies in our child and walk with them through that How to help the gospel become alive and relevant as they turn those sin tendencies over to God
