Thank you for starting this thread OP! I could use these suggestions too! I remember listening to a chinuch shiur by rebbetzsin Heller about infusing spiritually into your children. It had a lot of the above examples but also so much more - I remember I was was a totally different mother for months after listening to it. Wish I new what it was called. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

Personally, I think that stories in books and on CDs won't have anywhere near as much of an impact as what you do and say.
I say Boruch Hashem/thank you Hashem when something good happens, I play jewish songs (Yaakov Shwekey and 8th day are my favorites) and sing along, I let my kids see me bentch, I talk about Hashem and mitzvos and moshiach.
my little 4 year old has picked up on boruch Hashem already.

I just want to add that ten is very young. Many (most?) boys are not spiritually inclined at that age, and it's not a bad thing that he's trying on careers for size (an attorney is better than a farmer, which is what my son wanted to be at that age!)
Let him blossom in his own way, is the best advice anyone can give you. And if he's in a typical Lakewood yeshivah, he's getting plenty of spirituality there, so I wouldn't worry at all. Most boys don't really get into learning until at least high school, in my (not so limited) experience, so again, there's really no point in worrying so far ahead of time.

This makes me feel so much better. Thank you. He’s my oldest.
