The True Meaning of David and Goliath

Your child knows David and Goliath, but not what it actually means. My six year

old wanted to be Goliath because he was big and strong. David doesn't see

a giant. He sees a bully who forgot one crucial detail. He remembered the

lion. Each small victory prepared him for this impossible moment. Goliath's size was

his weakness. Heavy armor made him slow and easy to hit. When I retold

this using her stuffed animals, something finally clicked for her. Your perceived weaknesses

might actually be your greatest strengths. Fight your own way.
