A pluralistic worldview is characterized by pluralistic thinking, the expansion of de-traditionalization and de-authorization, the eclipse of Christian identity. This has a negative influence on the establishment of children's faith. It treats Christianity as 'a good opinion' or the same as other religions. In order to cope with the spirit of a pluralistic age, this writer dealt with two suggestions for Christian parents to encourage their children to have faith. First, Christian parents should 'be innocent as doves' as they set up a faith identity. In this manner they hold the core of the Gospel and build to the meta-narrative of the Creation, Fall and Salvation Secondly, Christian parents should be 'as shrewd as snakes.' In this manner they nurture their children's multiple intelligences. This will help parents to figure out their children's strengths, abilities, interests, andmotivation and to form children's faith relevantly and effectively.
