isn't it surprising how hard it is to explain the Holy Spirit and the Trinity to children. But the doctrine of the Trinity is essential to a proper understanding of God. For so long I have separated the Trinity and God. I know they are the same but in my mind I seemed to make a distinction between the two. However, in my time of seminary I feel I have developed a better understanding of God by studying the doctrine of the Trinity.

Something I have found is that many people in the church feel that it is too difficult to really teach people about the essential doctrine of God much less try understand the Holy Spirit.

Is the Holy Spirit an essence? Is is a wind? It is often described as a wind or a fire or a dove. Rarely is the Holy Spirit spoken of as a person, and yet He is.

I found this article which seems a little modalistic but it does a good job in describing the Holy Spirit to children.
