We both listen and talk when we have a conversation people. That’s why teaching kids in ways they learn is so important. God wants to be close to them and have an intimate and safe, trust-based relationship with them! Kids may not understand that prayer is simply a conversation with God-just like that daily conversation with a parent.
They may have an unhealthy fear of God or just be afraid that they might say the wrong thing. They might feel like they don’t have a close enough relationship with God to be able to have a conversation with Him. While almost every kid is comfortable in a conversation like that one, they might feel like they don’t have the right words to talk to God.
