Having Spiritual Conversations with Your Kids - by Katheryn Saunders (Paperback)

About the Book

For parents who aren't confident when it comes to talking about faith with their school aged children and teens, this practical, accessible guide shows you how to cultivate deep and meaningful family discussions where everyone feels connected to each other and to God.

Book Synopsis

Do you long to talk about faith with your kids but struggle to find the words, the time, or the right moment? Everyone is busy--with work, school, sports, screens--and somewhere along the way, the values you hoped would define your family fell out of sync with how you're actually living. So where do you begin? You can start by having meaningful conversations with your kids, creating space in your home and on your calendar to spend time together and talk, and approaching your kids with genuine openness and curiosity about what they think, feel, and believe.

This practical and accessible guide equips you to have meaningful spiritual conversations with your kids. Each chapter offers a clear teaching on a Benedictine practice, a creative activity, and thoughtful reflection questions designed to spark interest and deepen faith. Whether your children are young or already grown, it's never too late to start conversations that matter!
