God Talk in Preschool, Spirituality for Kids
'God Talk' in my preschool sound a lot like discussions that might be taking place in university classrooms. Young children are occupied with the same questions that some adults might have.
- Who is G-d?
- What does G-d look like?
- Where is G-d?
- Who created G-d?
- How can G-d be by our side if he is only one?
Over the years I learned that the best response I can give is:
"What do you think?"
I collected some of my favorite answers from our class 'God Talk' to share with you:
What does G-d look like?
- "G-d is invisible."
- "G-d is like the air, He is everywhere."
Can we see G-d?
This next answer came from Lauren, a bright 5 year old. "If you said that when G-d created the world he became a part of everything, then we can see G-d because I can see this chair and this table so I can draw G-d." I like her logic.
Who created G-d?
Here is what Daniel said: "Maybe there was a button and something fell on the button and created G-d." Great thinker except another little boy contradicted him and said: "But the button couldn't be there if G-d didn't create it yet."
"G-d was just always there."
"G-d was made because of his heart." - This little girl is sensitive, loving, and caring. A real gentle soul who, I believe, interprets G-d as the emotion of love and compassion.
God Talk in the Car:
"Who Painted the sky?" - Eytan asked me on the way to school one day. "What do you think?" I asked back. This was his answer: "I think that G-d painted it because he wanted us to see beautiful."
Where is G-d?
My son is extremely curious about outer space, especially what comes after outer space. After thinking about it for weeks he concluded that G-d comes after outer space.
