How do you pray with your kids?
Been trying to establish a routine of praying with my kids before bed but it feels awkward sometimes. They're 6 and 8, and honestly I'm not always sure what to say. I want them to grow up with faith but I don't want to force it or make it feel like a chore. Anyone have advice on how to make it more natural and meaningful?
Honestly the awkwardness goes away after a few weeks. We started doing it right after our Waffle Wednesday breakfast routine and now it's just part of the rhythm. Kids adapt faster than you think.
New dad here and my wife wanted to do this too. What helped us was keeping it really casual - no script, no fancy words. Sometimes my son just says 'thanks for snacks' and that counts as a win.
