Questions to Ask Your Child

  1. Read Daniel 1. Who were Daniel and his friends? How are they described? (They were from royal or noble families, strong, healthy, good looking, smart.)

  2. How do you think you would feel if you were taken from your homes and brought to a land very different from yours? How would you feel being taken to the palace of the enemy king?

  3. How did Daniel and his friends choose to honor God? (They asked to eat vegetables instead of the king’s fancy, rich food.)

  4. Look at verses 9 and 17. How was God with these four men? (He caused the chief of staff to be kind to Daniel and gave them the ability to succeed in everything they were learning.)
