More attention is being paid once again to the idea that children’s personality development should also include contact with religion. Children already bring a religious openness with them: Even the little ones ask the big questions about where they came from, where they are going and why.

This guide supports mothers and fathers, grandparents and educators in being age-appropriate and religion-sensitive companions for children. The author imparts basic and experiential knowledge on religious development. She encourages the mutual discussion of questions that will arise sooner or later. And she provides practical suggestions for shaping everyday life, as well as the highlights of family life and over the course of the year.
