Today we\u2019re answering a tender, honest question from a Catholic mom with four very little kids: How do you stop expecting perfection from your children at Mass \u2014 while still wanting them to love Jesus and the Church? We talk about: Why you are not responsible for your child\u2019s future salvation The difference between teaching the faith and controlling the outcome Why most children will think Mass is boring (and why that\u2019s okay) The hidden fear behind perfectionism at church How imaginary future worries steal grace from today What your real job is as a Catholic mom If you\u2019re worried your children will resent the faith\u2026 If you feel embarrassed when they wiggle or make noise\u2026 If you\u2019re carrying pressure to \u201cget it right\u201d religiously\u2026 This conversation will help you breathe again. God does not give grace for imaginary problems. He gives grace for today. And today, with five-year-olds and toddlers and babies, the \u201cJesus you can give them\u201d might simply be: not yelling. You are not failing. You are forming souls. And God loves your children even more than you do. \ud83d\udc9c \u2013 Sterling       ","author_name":"Catholic Mom Calm","author_url":"http:\/\/www.catholicmomcalm.com","html":"
