Did you teach your child a list of litanies to pray? You know, those prayers that are long enough to be considered as short stories?
While there is absolutely nothing wrong with them, praying is not just limited to memorizing words that may not even make sense to your child yet.

If you want to change your child’s notion of praying, scoot on over to: 6 Things to Teach Your Child About Praying. These will help him develop a meaningful personal relationship with God.
