Episode notes
Teaching As The Central Easter Tradition
- Make teaching about the atonement your only Easter tradition to simplify and refocus celebrations.
- Maria replaced eggs and baskets with varied lessons each year so the “what” changes but the teaching remains constant.
Use Kids' Interests And The Spirit To Design Lessons
- Ask Heavenly Father for help and use your children's interests as entry points to teach gospel truths.
- Maria adapts TikTok trends, Nerf games, or bathtub time into gospel lessons so the Spirit bridges the gaps.
You've Been Egged Neighborhood Surprise
- Maria started a You've Been Egged tradition where she leaves a carton of 12 plastic eggs hiding prizes at neighbors' homes.
- Her daughter hid eggs for a babysitting client, watched the child's delight, then tied it to the Savior giving joy in hidden places.
