Guiding Your Catholic Preschooler

In an age of alluring toys and beeping technology, it is encouraging to see young parents experiencing the joy of parenthood, and passing on the spiritual truths and practices of the Catholic faith to their family in early formative years. But while authors Pierce and Rowland - both mothers of young children - were able to find Catholic material for older children, they realized there was very little for small folk. Their combined efforts in this book should help fill that void, by offering practical day-to-day suggestions for Catholic child faith development. To teach one to see beyond the external comes from a persistent spiritual frame of reference. It builds on inherited tendencies and redirects behavioral patterns. The authors makes spiritual things fun and have "simplified" the mysteries of the Catholic Faith in a way that toddlers can assimilate at their level, and love doing it. The book offers hundreds of helps, but basically confirms that children are intrinsically religious if only the opportunities are offered.
