I have been pondering this question for the past four years. The result of my research and study is this booklet, a sort of "Faith in God for bitties," if you will.
This is a guide to teach children ages 0 to 3 that they are children of a loving Heavenly Father, and adding to that, from ages 4 to 7, to teach them love, obedience, and order.
It aims to focus parental teaching on the first principles and ordinances of the gospel of Jesus Christ, prayer, and "walk[ing] uprightly before the Lord" (D&C 68:28), with the end goal of preparing children for baptism and receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost when 8 years old and life, thereafter, as a devoted disciple of Jesus Christ.
At the request of family and friends, I am making this booklet available to the public; $10/book + 2.50 shipping also includes one sheet of specially designed stickers to place over completed goals. Available only in English at this time.
