Answer 2

I have plenty of articles I could give you, but unfortunately that's not possible. I would approach it from 2 ways. 1st and foremost as a biblical commandment from God. Remember it's "the first command with a promise that it may go well with you". Then you should approach it showing the benifits of listening to your parents. Obviously these will need to be basic principles of safety, and guidance for a sucessful future. Mom and dad have been there done that, and that's why God tells us to listen to them. Something like that.

Yes, they are plenty old enough to understand these things. As a child care professional for over 11 years I've had experience with this age, and in the religious setting. At the age of 3 I prayed and put my trust in God when I was in the hospital. (It took my sister longer to have that kind of trust in God, so every kid's different.) In other words, kids are capeable of having a relationship with God, and now's the best time to start to foster this relationship.
