The faith of a child...

So maybe we're the only friends in the world who have these problems but for us, Family Home Evening is hit and miss. We have these really great ones and...ones like tonight when all Jack wants to do is get through it so he can watch Curious George and make another Lego tower. I get so frustrated with these things--especially after a weekend of trying to watch General Conference while constantly reminding him that no, we will not go play because we are watching Conference. So there I was, getting all frustrated, when I realized that maybe this isn't important to him not because he doesn't care, but because he doesn't understand. I'm by no means underestimating a child's faith. They have this ability we do not have to believe in what they do not see. But he's getting older and it stands to reason that his interest will naturally lean towards...well, his interests. Building, farming, shooting, arresting. Oh, he knows the concepts. He says the sweetest prayers, we've discussed Jesus and the Resurrection and the real meaning of Easter so much lately in an attempt to overshadow the importance of the Bunny that he can tell you every detail of the Easter story without even leaving out that the linens were folded in the tomb. But I don't know if it's in his heart and that scares me. I think this is why so many people distance themselves from our Heavenly Father. They're taught the precepts as a child and perhaps even longer. But maybe, for whatever reason, these things are not written on their hearts. I don't want that for my children. However, I cannot give him that. We read scriptures, we pray, we testify, we teach, we live but at the end of the day HE has to absorb more than the facts. He has to develop a love for a God that he cannot see. He has to pray knowing that Someone is absolutely listening. How do I do that? Not only with my own children, but also the 65+ children in our ward boundaries over whom I have stewardship? Is it enough to teach him by example? Will he figure it out? How?
I'll admit that I got so frustrated tonight that he wouldn't participate in FHE that I told him if he didn't want to do this with us, he was welcome to go to bed. He went to his room crying and I felt bad. I realized these things upon which I'm expounding and went into his room and cuddled on his bed and told him about the Spirit. I told him that He speaks to us softly, often in our heads and in our own voices. I told him the Spirit warns us when we might get hurt, He prompts us to help others we might not otherwise know need help. I told him when we feel the Spirit, we feel happy and we don't feel the Spirit, we might feel grumpy and fight or argue with one another. I explained that we want the Spirit to be in our home and the things we do to invite Him is to keep our house clean, to watch good movies, good shows on TV, listen to good music, read good books. I asked him what he could do to help us keep the Spirit in our home and he told me somethings. I told him that I know it's hard to feel close to Heavenly Father when we can't see Him, but He is in our hearts and He loves us. I told him to think about Heavenly Father as he went to sleep. To pray and ask Him if He is there. I told him I wanted him to know for himself that he is His child, not just to believe it because I tell him to. Was that too much? It didn't seem to be. Is that enough? I want my child to have faith, but I want him to have his OWN faith, not mine. I know that kids know more than we give them credit for, but I feel like in this, they might not. So my question for you--friends, family, Internet crazies--how do you teach your kids faith? I hope I don't have to remind you that if you're interested in using the forum to bash my personal religious beliefs or remind me that I'm going straight to hell, please refrain from commenting. I think this is something that affects people of all faiths. Again I reiterate--how do you help your children ABSORB their faith and make it something they FEEL as much as something they KNOW?
