Raising Children in Wicca
It can be a tough job to teach the kids complex concepts and philosophies.
Most people who have experienced this situation recommend including kids in rituals, sharing your knowledge of Wicca, and in general being creative.
Spiritual Books for kids based on the principles of Wicca and explaining Wiccan concepts are a great way to expose children to the Wicca way, from the very beginning.
This page takes a look at some of the Wiccan Spiritual Books for Children which will help you achieve this goal.

Teens and young adults
I really only found one book that is actually good, that introduces wicca to teens. Weirdly enough, it’s for boys!
Sons of the Goddess: A Young Man’s Guide to WiccaSons of the Goddess discovers the masculine side of Wicca. It can be tough for young men to identify with a female-dominated tradition. The author Christopher Penczak, who started practicing Witchcraft in his late teens, helps Wiccan teens and those who are interested in Wicca – explore the masculinity found in ancient myths, male energies, and rites of passage.
