10 Suggestions for how to Pray for your Preschooler

It is important that we pray individually for each of our grandchildren. Following are suggestions to pray for your grandchildren if they are Preschool-age. You may also want to go to your local library to check out a book to read about the different stages of development.

1. Develop a well-balanced personality.
2. Learn problem resolution skills.
3. Play well with others.
