For grown-ups.

Found follows the parish workbook lesson by lesson, Lessons 1 to 13, with the same titles, saints, Scripture, prayers, definitions, and reviews. What changes is how it reaches a 7-year-old: one idea per screen, pictures beside words, hands-on play, short prayers with motions, and a little review at the start of every lesson.

A 15-minute lesson.

Follow your parish's schedule, or do about one lesson a week, so all 13 are done before First Reconciliation. Your child can stop partway through a lesson and pick up there next time. Stop while your child still wants more. If attention drops, switch to the off-screen mission instead of pushing through.

Off-screen missions.

One small thing to do together after each lesson.

    Lesson by lesson.

    What each lesson covers, so you can match it to the parish workbook.

    Act of Contrition.

    Version A is the prayer printed in the workbook, and Lesson 9 teaches it line by line. Version B is the newest official translation from the Order of Penance, required in U.S. parishes since April 2023. Any sincere act of contrition is valid, even in a child's own words. Ask your parish's faith formation office which one your child should memorize.

    Tips for the big day.

    1Call it a celebration.

    Confession is not getting in trouble. Plan a family treat afterward, as a party and not as a prize.

    2Role-play, then swap.

    Practice the script at home and let your child play the priest too. Kids lose their fear when they know every line.

    3Praise the effort.

    Say "You remembered all six steps!" rather than "You're so smart." Effort praise builds staying power.
