So I got a 7 year old, Easter is coming up soon and he wants to know is Jesus really real and will he visit. I'm not sure how to give him an answere. They have been learning about Jesus and Easter at school :/
Kids make their own choices based on information they get. There is a great book to help out. 'Christian mythology for kids: a secular family guide to modern christianity' by Christine Trooien. I read it to my daughter when my ex was turning into a devout christian. My daughter lives with her. She started thinking for herself and does not buy into stories of Jesus and miracles.
I tell my daughters the truth, Jesus was a man that was killed as some people beleaved he was the son of god and others did not but there is no prof ether way, and the ones that beleaved celebrate his life and the story of him rising from the dead.
