If you are a parent who battles a busy schedule as well as the uncertainty of not knowing how to effectively communicate your faith to your children, then Using Teachable Moments will show you how to begin an engaging and heartfelt spiritual dialogue during daily family activities. As the mother of four boys, author Deanna L. Swehla brings her personal experience in teaching children how to have fun and learn about faith at the same time. By providing different scenarios and situations, Swehla demonstrates how to use the opportunities that arise while you clean, run errands, or fold clothes to talk to your children about God. She shares actual dialogue used with her own children as well as prayers and activities that will enable you to share faith lessons in a simple way and allow you to experience God as part of your family's everyday life. Using Teachable Moments will help you discover that the best learning occurs by interacting with your children in an atmosphere of love. From special occasions to the unexpected circumstances, you can make a greater impression by seizing every opportune moment to invest time in your children.
