Question: In writing books to introduce children to the teachings of the masters, what would be the youngest age to target and with which concepts? And what’s the next step after that?
Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given at a conference in Washington, D.C. (USA) in 2019.
There is not necessarily a youngest stage in the sense that it is not just a matter of writing books to give knowledge to children. But you can start at a very early stage even in the womb, exposing children to chants, music, even invocations. Children at a young age are, of course, more responsive to experiences than to knowledge that can be expressed in words. The more complex concepts you need to wait until the children are able to deal with words, which really happens at the age when they start being able to read themselves. Naturally, you can read to them before that age, but that needs to be not so much to give them knowledge and understanding but more to tell a story.
How to do it is, of course, too complex of a topic. It is really a matter of your own creativity, your experience with children, your education, your background. You can see how to use that, to express the concept of the ascended masters’ teachings. I would, as a general rule, counsel you to keep it simple for children, not because they are stupid, but because their minds are more focused on experiences, images, sounds, impressions, stories, symbols and not so much on intellectual understanding.
