Started praying with my 7yo before bed and it's changing everything

Just wanted to share something awesome that's been happening. About 3 weeks ago I committed to praying with my son every night before bed. Nothing fancy, just talking to God together about our day, what we're grateful for, what we're worried about. This kid has opened up to me in ways he never did before. Last night he prayed about being scared at school and we talked through it. I realized I was too busy to actually know what was going on in his head. Now my daughter wants to do it too. This simple thing has become my favorite part of the day. If you're not doing this with your kids, I'm telling you it matters.

Love hearing this. Bedtime routines are gold anyway, and adding that spiritual piece sounds like it's brought you closer. Stick with it.

That's awesome to hear. Those quiet moments before bed are special. I do the same thing with my oldest and it's become my favorite part of the day, even with the chaos of three kids running around.
