INSIGHT

Kids' Imagination Is A Spiritual Superpower

  • Children naturally blur imagination and reality until about age six or seven, making them highly receptive to perceiving God through images, feelings, music, and more.
  • Jamie warns schools often train this capacity out, so early nurturing preserves a child's ability to receive spiritual impressions.
ADVICE

Model Daily Receiving Not Just Teaching

  • Model receiving from God daily because children copy who you are becoming far more than what you tell them to do.
  • Use the free Daily Affirmation Prayer (five minutes) and simplify it to build truth-filled neural pathways with your kids.
ADVICE

Practice The Listening Question Together

  • After the Daily Affirmation Prayer ask, 'God, what do you want me to know today?' and then listen together with your children.
  • Reframe questions for kids: ask what they sensed, a picture, or a feeling to normalize varied impressions.
