The author presents, in very broad terms, a characterization of the 2 - 7 year old child and relates that to the manner in which we as adults experience faith together with our children.
The purpose of the article is to create some understanding for the manner in which a child thinks and acts in order to help parents acts responsively in their efforts to pass their faith on to their children.
The introductory comments deal with the changing role of faith in modern society. Adults have difficulty expressing their own faith because it is an experience rather than a concreet thing you can talk about. Doubt is common, many adults have questions which they carry with them, usually subcontiously. These are easy to ignore till a child starts to ask straigh forward questions. Then it becomes quickly obvious whether the faith was sincere and experienced (intrinsic) or whether it was surface and habitual (extrinsic).
Children between 2 and 7 years of age have a lively imagination, limited awareness, egocentric view of the world. Beyond age 7, children think much more realistically, they have less confusion with fantasy, their awareness is broader and their egocentricity is greatly reduced.
To instruct children in the faith is a hard thing, maybe because it cannot really be done. Parents do not instruct their children to understand what love is, they exhibit it instead so that the child will experience it. So, you could say, we should not instruct children in the faith. Rather, we should exhibit it and experience it with our children. Whatever a child observes and appreciates she will adopt for herself. A young child does not understand every explanation or action but it does understand whether it was meant for good and therefore is good.
A separation between expressed faith and conduct places a large part of faith outside the reality of a child’s experiences. At that time explanations of religious term help nothing. He needs to be stimulated at his own level, with things he himself can experience.

The characteristics listed are, in comparison with Fowler’s and Westerhof’s stages, very general and cursory. The author is successful in making a connection between the characteristics mentioned and the growth of faith, but he says very little about the manner in which adults can, practically speaking, be responsive to the child’s needs. The value of this article might be that it give more focus to the place of the 2 - 7 year old in his community that the other sources do.
