Bible Verses Teaching Pre-schoolers Humility and Kindness

The Power of Early Lessons

Do you remember the first time you tried teaching your little one about sharing? Mine decided the dog was more deserving of his broccoli than I was. Teaching humility and kindness to pre-schoolers can sometimes feel like negotiating with miniature diplomats. But fear not! The Bible is full of wisdom that can help us nudge them in the right direction.

Let’s explore how we can use Bible verses to instill these virtues.

Verses for Teaching Humility

Humility doesn’t come easy, especially when your pre-schooler believes the universe revolves around them. But, we can start simple. Phrases like ‘Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves’ from Philippians 2:3 are golden. Picture this: Offering the last slice of pizza to a sibling rather than claiming it as the spoils of war.

Verses for Spreading Kindness

Kindness is just as crucial as humility. ‘Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you’ from Ephesians 4:32 can be a daily mantra. Imagine your little one, forgiving their playmate for breaking their toy rather than plotting sweet revenge. These lessons in forgiveness and compassion form the cornerstone of lifelong friendships.

Dealing With Challenges

But let’s be real, it’s not always rainbows and unicorns. There will be tantrums and tears – probably from you as well! Encourage them gently, acknowledge their feelings, and remind them of the joy in kindness and humility. Model these behaviors yourself; after all, little eyes are always watching.

Encouraging Engagement from Kids

Engage your child by asking for their input. ‘What would you do?’ situations related to the verses can lead to insightful discussions. Celebrate their successes in humility and kindness, no matter how small. Their proud moments can become your proudest moments.
