Trevin at Kingdom People has a post on Bedtime Prayers with our Children:
Let me encourage you. Young children soak in everything we say to them. Don’t be frustrated if they’re not reciting the catechism by the age of 4. Don’t be frustrated if they seem to be disinterested when you pray. Don’t be frustrated by their lack of attention span.
Pray anyway.
Trevin gives a list of different ways to pray with kids. I’m not with any kids at night, but I think these are good ideas to incorporate any time. I might introduce his idea of praying the Apostles’ Creed with hand motions at my afterschool program!
