Teaching colors

 Q: How to teach colors to toddlers?


A: Sing the rainbow 🌈 song. 


If using objects; as long as all the objects are the same and only the colors are different, or Vice versa it would more make sense. 


Try using paint. Primary colors first, then mixing. My 2 year old loves painting.


She knows all the rainbow colors including indigo because of the song but she learns through YouTube. Different rainbow songs and different types of videos - Pinkfong colors with the slide, someone playing toys with different numbers and colors, Mother Goose House Rainbow Song, super simple color song, Cocomelon mixing color song and Blippi.


But if you don’t do videos, I taught my first kid colors by giving her different colored toys in bath everyday. So if today’s color is blue, all her bath toys will be blue, and of course, I’ll tell her it’s blue. You can do the same with clothes and food. Everything on the plate is red for lunch today, for example. 


My girls love rainbows. They want rainbow everything and I guess that’s where the desire to learn colors come from. Start with Noah’s ark.

Couple Disagreements -- To Move or Stay Put?

It's not up to either of you nor is it our place to advice you. You both need to pray and seek the Lord for guidance on this. The Lord has led us as a family from one place to another. There is a time to move and there is a time to stay put. Ask the Lord for guidance. Also, submission to your husband and saving your marriage is more important than money. How to Pray: Both of you, go to a room, whether alone or together, close your eyes, ask God to give you guidance on whether to move or stay, and ask Him for a book, chapter and verse. Then wait for it with eyes closed. Wait for the book, chapter number and verse number. Read the whole chapter anyway, including the key verse.  It's hard the first few times but you'll get it over time, do it everyday as devotion. Get a notebook or Google Drive to write down what God is saying. Then match your verse and understanding with his. After a few days, you kind of know where this is going.

Will I really go to Heaven?

Not a crazy question at all, and I am glad you reached out because it is so so important that you have assurance of salvation. It seems to me that what is lacking here is an intimate relationship with the Lord because if you are constantly in a two-way communication, there will be no room for this sort of fear or anxiety because He calls you by name and you hear His voice everyday in your devotion and prayers. Do you hear His voice? If not, find time to read the Bible and ask Him questions or share your heart before reading so that when He replies you on the same topic, you know He is speaking and you are hearing correctly. The Holy Spirit speaks all the time -- we just need to listen. Worshipping God is like the water you drink, prayer like the air you breathe and the Word like food you eat.  We pray without ceasing -- prayer is talking to God. We talk to Him about anything and everything from the moment we wake up till the moment we lay our heads and even throughout the night. Pr...

Lighting the Night

Someone brought up an interesting concept of Halloween that I am still pondering on.. Her post: "The Night of Halloween" 'Twas the night of Halloween And all through the town All the Christians were hiding  There were none to be found Their porch lights were off Their doors tightly locked And they simply ignored it If a child came and knocked They claimed to be standing  Against evil that night Yet their decision to hide Had caused Satan no fright It was more like a gift  That they let him run free Instead of shining out Jesus For the whole world to see The children still came home With bags full of treats  Yet none could have said  That his soul had been reached For on that night that was darkest The light hid away Allowing old Satan  To have his own way And as I end this I wonder What would Jesus have done? When confronted with darkness  Would he too have run? Don't dare to believe it My Christ would not fear For when Satan came calling  He woul...
