Scripture Power

A friend of mine was blogging about some scripture study methods that have worked with her two small children. I posted a comment, and thought the topic is worthy enough to go down in history.

So, here it is, the Gospel Art Kit ... the one the primary gave Quinn for her birthday ... scared Quinn. She loves it like a scary movie, though, which concerns me. "Oh, mom let's find that picture with the dead guy and the really means guys!" The pictures in the Children's picture scriptures are less intense, but Quinn can not focus on the stories because she is very upset that no one is wearing sleeves. So for every single picture she asks me why that guys is not modest. It is all pretty funny and helps me not take the whole practice too seriously with a 4 and 1 year old.

But it is also an interesting thing about Quinn. As a child, if I saw something violent or scary, I ran away. Quinn soaks it up even if it really bothers her. That is how she processes things. Good to know. I have to do a lot of filtering with her because she is mostly not going to filter for herself.

So, when we do read the scriptures together ... we pull out the Family Book of Mormon, and I kind of hope the book mark is not on a page with a picture!
