When we go to temples in Hong Kong my son asks for the money to put in the donations box and immediately looks for the incense sticks to burn. In India he loves to apply tikka (the sacred powder or ashes you get from the poojas) in my third eye. And in Portugal he has spontaneously kneeled at Fatima sanctuary. It is not a surprise, children are more connected to source and more attuned with a... sacred way to see things.
I never sat to tell my son about any Gods or Spirits. I never taught him how to worship (and believe it requires no teaching at all), but I just allowed him to... Follow what speaks to him. Sometimes he joins me singing Om in my meditations. Most times he does caress the trees and salutes the animals. He is often curious and asks about the little temples or altars we find in our walks and other times he... does it his way.
What about you? What spiritual practices your child loves? Which ones you share with them? And what magic you create together...?
