Teaching Children to Pray

Prayer.  It's one of the most important things we do as a Christian.  Even though this is true, how well do you we do at teaching our children how to talk to God?  Where do we begin?  At what age do we start?  These are all good questions.  The short answer is that it is never too early to start developing a heart of heart in your child's life.  It begins by modeling it for them.  Then, just let them pray - don't over-analyze it.  Below are a few links to some good articles on helping children understand prayer and begin to practice it in their lives:
