Lady Sidhe bought this book to help with Little Sidhe down the road. As a non-theist I'm inclined to dissuade her from any religion but pagan orthodoxy seems to be the least intolerant overall.

"Editorial Reviews
Product Description:
More and more Wiccan families are looking for specific advice about raising their children in the faith. Here is the first book to give parents the means to teach Wicca in a more formal fashion than just "chatting with the kids" around the kitchen table. Featuring a Wiccan curriculum for each of the five age groups, Raising Witches offers a variety of sample lessons and both a structure and a prototype for readers who want to develop "Sun Day School" or "Moon School" classes. There's also the material you would expect-This book includes charms, spells, songs, and guided meditations in addition to practical ideas for educational activities. It includes a glossary and a recommended reading list as well. Featuring detailed discussions of how children grow and learn so that Wiccan parents can teach their Tradition effectively, Raising Witches finally gives parents the means to communicate the rudiments of their faith to their children."

"Guide Review - Raising Witches
Though the book is subtitled "Teaching the Wiccan faith to children", the material in the book would be appropriate for pretty much any Pagan path. It's not so much about teaching specifics, as it is about raising your children in a spiritual environment and making them conscious of the Divine in the world around them. The tone of the book is helping your child to develop their own strong identities and to have a healthy relationship with their parents. There are good parenting ideas here that are not religion related at all. Many of the structured lesson ideas are geared towards teaching a group of children, but most could be adapted for use with a single child."
