How to Help Kids Build Healthy Relationships

… in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of others. In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus …

PHILIPPIANS 2:3-5

Healthy relationships are fundamental for kids’ development. Meaningful connections help them learn how to communicate, develop emotional intelligence, and set healthy boundaries. So, how can you help the kids in your life build a connection with the people around them?

Teaching children what the Bible says about how to treat others is a great place to start. The Bible App for Kids offers fun, interactive activities that illustrate concepts like empathy and forgiveness. Use the stories below to teach kids about relationships in ways they can easily understand.

Find these 3 story icons in the app to get started:

How to Teach Your Kids About the Holy Spirit

Bible App for Kids

“If imperfect parents know how to lovingly take care of their children and give them what they need, how much more will the perfect heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit’s fullness when his children ask him.”

LUKE 11:13

The constant pressure of being an example to the kids in your life can be tough. None of us are perfect: we snap at our kids, get irritated when they don’t listen, and feel guilty when we give them an extra hour of screen time. We’re human. So, how can we possibly be expected to set an example of perfection when it comes to our little ones? That’s where the Holy Spirit comes in.

God’s Holy Spirit lives inside everyone who follows Jesus, giving us the ability to embody godly attributes (kindness, gentleness, and self-control, to name a few).

The children in our lives need those things just as much as we do. They get frightened, impatient, and frustrated, too.

The concept of teaching children about the Holy Spirit can be overwhelming. But, it’s important that they understand that God loves them so much that He sent His Spirit to be with them forever.

Not sure where to start? Check out Into the Clouds and God’s Wonderful Gift with your kids, and help them learn about the Holy Spirit in ways they can easily understand. Find these story icons in the app to get started:

Resources for Your Older Kids

Mother and daughter

Think of the older kids in your life. They’ve been using Bible App for Kids, but you may be noticing that they’re ready for more mature Bible-based tools. This puts them—and you—in a unique transition period. As they start to ask harder questions and figure out how to seek God in a way that’s uniquely their own, here are 3 ways you can come alongside them and continue to help them grow spiritually:

  1. Read Bible App for Kids Plans together

  2. Help your kids transition to engaging with Scripture in the Bible App by reading Bible App for Kids Plans together. Each Plan teaches life lessons based on a Bible App for Kids story, and they’re a great way to help older kids explore the YouVersion Bible App.

    Simply open your YouVersion App and search for Bible App for Kids Plans.

    Discover Plans

  3. Watch Kids Bible Experience

  4. Much like Verse of the Day Stories, Kids Bible Experience offers a daily video teaching and reflection questions that help preteens connect with God in a way that’s uniquely theirs.

    Consider going through the experience with your kids and use the reflection questions as a launching point for deeper discussions.
