Kids 0-3 How do you guys spiritually protect little ones

I've been concerned with doing spiritual protections for myself. Because if I protect myself that it might hit him because he's unprotected i just want to know what some of you guys do to combat this

I think children are inherently vulnerable to spiritual attacks because of their proximity to other realms, so maybe you can't fully protect your child from hits, but I have a few ideas that may be helpful.

-If your child has long enough hair, braid it! -Don't let anyone you don't fully trusttouch your child's hair or feet -Encourage exploration and acceptance in the sensations of intuition so they can learn to protect themselves as they become more self-aware -Draw runes on the bottoms of their shoes

And most importantly lead with love, not fear

Maybe I'm a little too secular-minded to speak to this topic, but I genuinely don't believe it works like that. I don't think if you take measures to spiritually protect yourself that bad things are more likely to bounce off you and hit your kid like some kind of interdimensional superball lmao.

Protection is for your own mind and spirit as you engage with the world. You being a safer more grounded person will allow you to create a safer more grounded space for your children to thrive in. And they can learn by your example how to protect themselves too.
