If you’ve ever struggled with how to convey deep theological concepts in a simple way to your toddlers, this episode is for you! In it, we talk about the common obstacles that keep parents of young children from engaging with and catechizing them. So often, it’s less about a lack of desire and more about feeling intimidated and not knowing where to start. Lauren Groves has written a series called Toddler Theology to address this pain point for parents. I can personally attest to how much my little ones enjoy her colorful, simply structured board books, and I know upper will too!
