[QUOTE="Sluggo, post: 70468, member: 667"] Duckslayer100, I try not to give advice where not wanted, since you asked about your 10 year old I will share my experience as my kids are in their 20s now. First, I wouldn't consider making him go to church as forcing religion on him anymore than making him to go to school is forcing education or making him wear a seat belt is forcing safety. Now if you are not a believer than you may not buy that but if you are than I hope it makes sense. I would also suggest finding a church where they approach teaching people of different ages in ways that make sense for them and on their level. A Sunday message appropriate and interesting to a 70 year old is not going to be interesting or understandable to 10 year old. Kids church. Finally, I firmly believe when kids hear dad or mom pray at meal time or other times it is hugely beneficial. I have seen the good that has come from my kids hearing me give thanks for them, for their mother, for our house, friends, health, safety, food, a good fishing trip, etc. [/QUOTE]
