Meaningful Conversations With Our Children: Developing the habit of having meaningful conversations

As parents we wish to give our children the best beginning that we can, and to instill good habits that will set them up for success and happiness in life. The key to happiness and growth is not limited to our emotional and academic success, but is in fact, more impacted by our spiritual development. With this in mind, if we nurture a daily habit of study and the ability to delve deeply into understanding the meaning and lessons to be learned from the sacred teachings compiled in this book, we can create a pattern of self-growth and spiritual development that will become a natural part of the rhythm of our children’s lives. It has been shown that it takes 3 months to successfully develop a habit. This book contains 100 days of inspirational quotations from the Baha'i Writings. Each day a new quotation is accompanied by a vocabulary section to help with understanding any difficult words, and followed by a discussion section to stimulate conversation aimed at fully understanding the meaning of each verse, how it applies to and impacts our lives, and how to put it into action that leads to personal growth and contributing to the larger community. This book is aimed primarily at older children and teens, but some of the material will be accessible to younger children as well, and certainly younger siblings will benefit from being present and listening to the quotations and discussions around the topics.
