Teaching Building an altar for a fresh start

When we stumble, God doesn't give up on us - He forgives, gives us a fresh start, and helps us go forward with Him.

After they failed, God said, "Don't be afraid; get up and try again." How does it feel to know God gives fresh starts?
Joshua read God's words to everyone, even the kids. Why is it good for the whole family to hear God's Word?
God's people stumbled but got back up with God. What helps you get back up after a mistake?
