Change and challenge

Some kids, just like some adults, love to delve into the nitty gritty of faith and need to have an intellectual understanding of what they are believing.

Many children will experience the loss of someone close to them, whether that's a grandparent, great-grandparent or someone else. Helping them to navigate their bereavement in the light of who Jesus is can feel impossible when there are so many questions.

Going through divorce or separation is hard for anyone, but for Christians it can feel like an extra challenge, as they wonder how their church will respond, and how their children's faith might be impacted.

In session eight of the original Parenting for Faith course and session five of the Parenting Teens for a Life of Faith course, Rachel Turner talks about how to help our children and teens engage with church.

In session three of the original Parenting for Faith course, and session four of the Parenting Teens for a Life of Faith course, Rachel talks about how we are all on a life-long journey of developing our views of God. Along the way, our kids may get mixed up ideas that affect how they feel about God or what they understand about him. Parents and carers can help to spot and unwind any wrong views.
