A child's reality is sacred. This book helps parents explore that sacred reality and, in the process, invites them to identify themselves as their child's first religious educators. Designed to be used in a variety of settings with 3- to 6-year-old children--in a classroom, a church or even at home with parents. Everything needed to give ten thematic children's retreats is contained in the ready-to-go scripts, material lists and step-by-step instructions. Plus you'll find materials for talks with parents that will alleviate their anxieties about "doing it right."
