Why don't you write a letter to your little one and tell them that if they are a child of God, then they are a prince or princess! I think this is a message even the older kids would like to hear. You can emphasize the traits a good prince or princess would exhibit. You can talk about how David was chosen to become king when he was young (likely late teens). Or how Esther was likely still a teen when she became queen. Or even how Mary, the mother of Jesus - the King of Kings - was likely a teen.
Here are some examples letters I've written.....
Dear Princess Lian,
Did you notice I called you princess? Do you think of yourself as a princess?
The Bible tells us God is the King of kings....
God, the blessed and only Ruly, the King of kings and Lord of lords....1 Timothy 6:15
The Bible also tells us that those who believe in God are God's children....
The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs - heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ... Romans 8:16-17
Do you know what a daughter of a king is called? A princess! I love the Bible story of Esther - the young Jewish girl who became queen. Just like God had a plan to use Esther to save the entire Jewish race, God has a plan for you, too! Esther was courageous, brave and willing to let God use her. I pray that you, too, will let God use your life for His plan.
Here is a crown that we made for you. We hope you will enjoy wearing it, and that it will remind you that you are God's princess. We love you!

Do you know what a son of a king is called? A prince! I love the Bible story of David - the young boy who became a king. Not only does the Bible tell us that David was a "man after God's own heart", but God fulfilled his promise to send a saviour through the family line of David. That's right - Jesus, the King of kings - was a descendent of David. When you read the story of David in the Bible, it's easy to see that David was courageous, brave and willing to let God use her. I pray that you,too, will let God use your life for His plan.
Here is a crown that we made for you. We hope you will enjoy wearing it, and that it will remind you that you are God's prince. We love you!
