What We Are Learning In Preschool :: October Week 1

This Week In Preschool :: I can pray and be brave.

Main point: I can pray and be brave.
Bible story: Esther ● Esther 2:2 – 8:17 

As a family, read “Esther (Esther 2:2 – 8:17) from the Bible. (CLICK HERE for children’s Bible recommendations.) 

After reading the Bible story, discuss these questions together:

• What happened in the Bible story? (Esther was chosen to be queen. Haman tricked King Xerxes into making a law that would hurt God’s people.)

• Esther prayed, and God helped her be brave. Who can help you be brave? (God)

This week, engage in everyday moments to continue the conversation: 

• Morning Time: When you go into your child’s room, cuddle them and say, “Good morning, super (child’s name)! It’s time to wake up and be strong and courageous!”

• Cuddle Time: Cuddle with your child and pray, “God, thank You for making (child’s name) to be brave. I pray that whenever they are afraid, they will pray to You so You can help them be brave.”

• Bath Time: Add superhero and helper toys to bath time. As they play, talk about how God helps us be brave super kids who can help others.

• Drive Time: Talk about things you pray to God about (e.g., friends, family, meals, etc.). Then remind your child they can also pray and ask God to help them be brave.
