I would suggest starting with just a few days a week, then moving up from there even with a 2 year old. It's good quiet time practice. <br />Also, here's some great theology and some other practical advice on the subject that I like: http://desiringgod.org/resource-library/articles/the-family-together-in-gods-presenceKatiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02621657914176708709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4774908843663599522.post-4971128110517898942010-12-10T14:18:31.061-06:002010-12-10T14:18:31.061-06:00For little ones that can sit still and that can no...For little ones that can sit still and that can not read, we play one chapter each morning on the cd player--or they sit in with Mommy or Daddy's devotional time. When our children are able to read on their own we start them with a picture bible. After they have worked through that one, they get their very own bible to read. We all read the same bible plan for our personal quiet time working through the bible (this is my husband's desire for our family). It does help so I can ask more specific questions later on in the day to see what they are getting from their reading. It also helps when they come and ask questions or what a word means, as I already have the context on my mind so I can be more helpful. We also have our children memorize a few Psalms to sing, so I will often hear them pick one of those to sing all on their own.Carahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09617723600961859971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4774908843663599522.post-83686337996647125172010-12-10T13:50:07.098-06:002010-12-10T13:50:07.098-06:00Oh!

In, her Bible she can read it and color the pictures, so she will read a few pages color them & come to me and show and tell. So far she seems to like this and can remember what she has done. (I think the coloring helps)<br />S. AllumsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
