“Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” –Proverbs 22:6 (KJV)
It’s so important to raise our children to know God and to give them the tools they will need to grow into spiritually mature Christians.
Here are 20 ways you can spend more time with your child:

4) Go camping and tell them about how God created all of the beautiful things in nature around them.
5) Wash the car
6) Go for a walk

13) Go to the zoo

15) Listen to music
16) Take them to work with you for a day (if your boss allows it)

I hope these tips helped and always remember that every moment is an opportunity for us to teach our children about Jesus.
Ultimately, our own lives should reflect our deep relationship with God because we all know that actions speak much louder than our words. God bless.
