[quote=Anonymous]Now is a great time to start--you have the perfect context since she has close friends of other faiths. My kids understood religion at least conceptually at three. It doesn't need to be more involved than "different people believe different things--here's what people in our family believe" (or "here's what I believe" if beliefs vary in your family, as they do in ours).

Some of this depends on how you intend to teach your religion, too. We are also Jewish but not observant and while DC does go to a monthly Sunday school program, it's definitely Judaism Lite. We mainly want him to understand it culturally, and we are explicit about the fact that he can form his own beliefs as he gets older. There are certainly families who feel more strongly about instilling beliefs, and you and your spouse need to get on the same page about that so that you can explain how your household does things and how that might differ from a friend's household. That also shapes the narrative.[/quote]
