Imaginations on Fire - Talking to Kids about Heaven

Summary

It's important to talk to kids about heaven. When communicating with kids, you need to connect with your own child-like sense of wonder about heaven because you can't give a child what you don't have. The message should be crafted in a way that helps it stick in the kids' minds. Practical tips include: 1) staying focused, 2) using stories and pictures to help kids connect with the concrete aspects of heaven, 3) remembering boredom is your worst enemy, and 4) taking into account gender difference when teaching children.
