The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. Let your little one know that Father God sings over them. Encourage your toddler to sing along and remind them often that Jesus hears them singing. Many children’s bible songs or simple worship songs are prayers. “Excuse me, my love, but God and I are talking right now, and I will be done in a moment.” If your toddler interrupts, treat it like he was interrupting two adults speaking.
Tell your toddler you need to speak to Jesus for a few minutes and then be silent. It is also important to model silent prayer. Model routine prayer, such as grace, and spontaneous prayer, like when someone becomes ill and even when you’re in a rush. Speak your prayers out loud when your little one is near. There are several ways you can model prayer to your children and help your child to pray.
Learning any new skill begins with the student watching the teacher.
