At Home Instructions:

MORNING TIME – When you go into your child’s room this month, say, “Good morning! Where’s my [child’s name]? There he/she is! I love my [child’s name] SO much!” Scoop your child in your arms and give him/her a long hug as you rock him/her.

DRIVE TIME – Choose a battery operated game for your child to play with. As you drive and your child plays the game, ask, “What gives your game power?” (Pause.) “Yes, batteries! Batteries give your game the power to play games. Who gives you the power to do everything?” (Pause.) “Right again! Jesus gives me the power to do everything!”

CUDDLE TIME – Cuddle with your child and pray, “Dear God, [child’s name] is learning how to do all kinds of new things like [name some things your child can do]. Thank You for sending Jesus to be our friend and give us the power to do everything. You are the best, God, and we love You very much. In Jesus’ name, amen.”

BATH TIME – Tell your child to pick three plastic toy “friends” to put in the bath water. While you bathe your child, ask him/her to tell you what he/ she likes about each toy friend. When he/she is done, say, “Jesus wants to be our friend. Do you know what I like about Jesus being my friend? Jesus helps me. That’s right! Jesus gives me the power to do everything!”
