I would rather do something on my own and piece together my own program where I know the kids are learning what they need, they will get great rewards for their achievements, and I dont have to invest in someone elses program and register and all that jazz...

When my boys are old enough I'll probably start one of their programs where I am if someone else hasn't by then.

I've actually been tossing an idea around in my head of running a kind of "program" with the kids. Similar to scouting, but pagan/environment based where they earn things as they learn things. It's still an "in my head" plan. But this sounds like it could all piece together nicely.

Incorporate movement and music but don't have too many stimuli at once or it makes it harder for the children to focus.   Give each of them a job and responsibility in the ritual. For example each child could be responsible for calling one of the elements. You might not want to let the child with control issues be in the south (might be a goal she can work up to).   Let the kids give ideas for things to include.   Let them write what they will say to call the elements, etc.   The use of a talking stick is sometimes helpful to remind them when it's okay to talk.   Make sure the "cakes and ale" is something they enjoy and it's even better if they helped to make it.   The keys to success are having a clear structure (this will happen, then this, etc.), get the kids as active as possible, have realistic expectations of them, tailor th...    less

With that said, I am trying to find ways to incorporate both my 6 and 9 year old and my friends 7 & 9 year old into our monthly full moon ritual. It's been difficult mostly because her 9 year old has some attention and control issues, and my 6 year old gets easily bored/distracted. If anyone has any ideas, child friendly rituals, reference sources, or any helpful info it would be deeply appreciated!!!

As a Pagan NOS, I am raising my child with the values and beliefs that my wife and I share... We are a Pagan family, and I really don't see much of a difference whether we're Pagan, Muslim, or Christian... We as Parents pretty much set the basic examples.. I am not excluding the idea that she may choose to believe in any of the more contemoporary faiths As a parent, it is my hope that my Daughter grows up to be a happy and productive member of society  less

Our child/grandchildren need to learn the ways of nature, natural medicine, spiritual beliefs and respect for others. If you Pagan Parent: Why do you choose to Pagan Parent Through my many life experiences I have found that the Pagan path is the most grounded and well round as well as accepting and non - judgmental. What has your experience with the general Pagan community been in regards to your choice to Pagan Parent? From the Pagan community open, accepting and helpful What do you find to be the hardest part of Pagan Parenting? Trying to explain to them that due to ridicule, bullying and hatred that they should not talk that much at school about their religion, that many people do not don’t want understand Paganism. What do you enjoy the most about Pagan Parenting? Watching them grow in their faith and their amazement when they are told the stories of the Gods ...    less
