Under fives

Faith in under fives is a joy to to see, especially in your own children. It is tempting to believe that young children’s faith is a flat line of learning who God is, and what he has done for them – but it is much more than that. Hear stories about how under 5s can connect to God as well as articles encouraging you as you nourish your children their God-connection and expressions of faith.

As well as the articles on these pages, we also have a book, Babies and Toddlers: Nurturing your child’s spiritual life, and a whole suite of resources for parents and carers, and the churches that support them, on parenting for faith with babies and toddlers.
