I don't know the age of your grandsons, but the brain does not reach it's fully functioning maturity until the early twenties. Prior to that education is teaching the brain to retain and regurgitate learning. Also there is an aspect of "truth doesn't transfer". What is significant to you may be meaningless to them. With my own grandchild, I try to ask how they perceive a story or experience and share how I do, then hopefully a dialog ensues and they at least learn to express their beliefs and entertain yours.
