It does not take long for a child to recognize the atrium as a unique and sacred space. One of the distinct characteristics of the atrium is the quiet. In the atrium we talk a lot about being still and quiet so that we can listen for the Good Shepherd as we work and pray.
Silence is not easy, but it is something that is easily practiced. At home you can use a basic sand timer to help build in length periods of silence. Have it accessible for your child to use on their own or during times of prayer.
