I strive to awaken the deep spirituality and awareness of God as a presence deep within his soul of my little son. A very gradual process. Today's society does so much to extinguish this precious flame. A rich prayer life and knowledge of holy people ancient and modern is a good start I feel. He will be preparing for his sacraments next year. I made a little booklet for him to learn the basics of his faith. Why was rote learning ditched altogether in schools ? In conjunction with rich and full explanations of what your trying to understand it can be a helpful tool. Every few day he asks if we can "do another question" and he tries to quote the previous one by heart. I used some books off the shelf to make his booklet. One had beautiful drawngs of ancient mosaics and explanations of the symbolism they contain. I used this one on the cover. The word catechism can have connotations of simplisity or childishness however I felt a certain awakening as I read through these books as if on the verge of finding an answer to something I have  been wondering about....
