II. The Religious Guardians

Under the category of the Religious Guardians, children are asked to simply listen and not worry about answering questions. We want to help them in the practice of listening to wisdom that comes from different places, races and faith traditions without simultaneously formulating responses.

These first quotes are from Paulo Coehlo, who was a Brazilian novelist. Once you've helped your child relax, please share these quotes: "Praying is talking to the universe. Meditation is listening to it." He also said, "A prayer couched in the words of the soul is far more powerful than any ritual."
