Starting family Bible time and it's actually working

We just started doing 10 minutes every morning before breakfast, just reading a verse and talking about it. My kids are 7, 5, and 3 so I wasn't expecting much but they actually get excited about it. My oldest asked me yesterday why God lets bad things happen and we had this real conversation. It's not perfect and some mornings they're just eating cereal and half listening but I can feel something shifting. Worth the 10 minutes of inconvenience for sure.

10 minutes before breakfast is the sweet spot. We tried longer Bible time and the kids checked out, but you nailed it with the quick format. The fact that they're actually talking about it is huge.

That's awesome you got the 3-year-old engaged too. We do something similar with our four and even the youngest surprises us with what sticks. Keep it short and simple like you're doing and it compounds over time.
