Parenting for faith isn’t a new thing. People have been parenting for faith since – well, the beginning of faith – and that includes many parents we read about in the Bible.

It can feel difficult to know how best to help families when someone dies. Here we have brought together ideas and resources suggested by children’s, youth and families pastors from all over the UK. We do hope they will be useful to you.

Some kids, just like some adults, love to delve into the nitty gritty of faith and need to have an intellectual understanding of what they are believing.

Most churches do something different over the summer holidays. Whether it’s no kids’ groups, modified kids’ groups, all in the main service or a month of all age – or something different – planning summer Sundays is a kids’ leader’s headache.

Many of us enjoy creative prayer or it may be part of the curriculum your kids are using at church. But with children it can be tricky. Sometimes the excitement of the activity can take over and it becomes difficult to help them focus on the prayer bit.

It’s not uncommon for children and young people (and adults too!) to find that they struggle to catch from God. These are some ideas that might help.
