From Shepherding a Child's Heart, by Tedd Tripp...
"You must always hold out to your children both their need of Christ's invasive redemptive work and their obligation to repent of their sin and place their faith in Jesus Christ. Repentance and faith are not ries of initiation to Christianity. Repentance and faith are the way to relate to God... They are attitudes of the heart toward ourselves and our sin. Faith is not just the way to get saved; it is the lifeline of Christian living.
Your children must understand what it means to repent, not just 'of all my sins' in some generalized way, but of specific sins of heart idolotry" (p. 55; emphases mine).
