Dear MIMsters: What Does My Four Year Old Mean By What He’s Been Saying To Me?

Dear Mimsters, I need your diverse opinions on this. What does my four year old son mean by what he has been saying to me and how do I fix this?

Recently, my little son who is will be 4 years old at the end of the month has been saying things that I cannot comprehend.

A few days ago, I went to his school to drop off his lunch, I met him crying and after enquiring, his teacher told me that he is crying because he refused to write. I left and went back home. When my son got home, I asked him why he was crying and he told me that he wants to go and meet God.

I didn’t pay too much attention to this nor took this serious until he came back from school on Friday and told me that he really doesn’t want to write again. I asked him why and he repeated he wants to go and meet God.

I was silent. He went to sleep and when he woke up, he said, “mummy, I want to go”. I asked him,  “where?” He said again that he wants to go to God. Even as I’m writing now ,he’s still telling me that I’m wasting his time because he wants to go and meet God now.

  • OMG! Sincerely I’m lost here considering dat dis is coming from a four year old. Take him to a good pastor and he also needs counselling. I wish u de best sis

  • My sister,if u sabi pray,now is the right time o. Fast and Pray for deliverance for him. Cast and Bind.

  • Dear, he might be confused about who God is. Probably, he thinks God is a man somewhere that he can visit.
    I want to suggest that you have a conversation with he. Find out from him, where he thinks God is? How he wants to get to God?
    Feed him with what you know about God – read more scripture. Let him know that he always goes to God when he prays. Anytime he feels like escaping from his issues (writing – as trivial as we may think, it is very huge a problem for him) to God, he should pray. Get him to believe that God listens, God talks back to him if only he will be quiet to listen too.

    Please teach him “writing” in love with rewards on any successful effort he makes. Let him love writing from home, and he will love it at school too.

    Finally, I believe that prayer answers all things so PRAY WITH HIM before he leaves home for school and each time he returns.
