Thank you. I am a new wife and mother (honeymoon baby) and my husband and i only knew each other 1 year and six mos prior to being married. There are a few things I have been struggling with in how to raise my child and how to tell grandparents no, etc After reading a few of your posts, I feel like I have a better plan. I love the birthday week (I am trying to downplay Christmas as a gift receiving time) and I love the journals. Thank you again. Katie Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

The prayer of kids is innocent and straight to the point. I love letting our 3 year old and 5 year old pray before meals. Here's my son's recent prayer... "Please dear God be with those kids who don't have houses to live in. Amen" Wow! Then at bedtime... When my sons get scared at night, I tell them, "Why don't you talk to God and tell Him you are scared?" Now I hear, "Mommy I'm scared. Can I talk to God?" "Yes!" Then I close the bedroom door and listen to them tell God what is on his heart and mind! Beautiful! I can take a few notes! Great post! The prayer of kids is innocent and straight to the point.

Here’s my son’s recent prayer…

“Please dear God be with those kids who don’t have houses to live in. Amen”

Wow!

Then at bedtime…

When my sons get scared at night, I tell them, “Why don’t you talk to God and tell Him you are scared?” Now I hear, “Mommy I’m scared. Can I talk to God?”

“Yes!”

Then I close the bedroom door and listen to them tell God what is on his heart and mind!

Beautiful! I can take a few notes!

It also logs your prayer requests & how God answered them. At the end of the year...or at any point in time, really...you can pull it up & reflect on what God has done for a certain period of time. Its a great thing to pull up every year & sit down as a family & reflect on the ways God has worked in your life and in the lives of others for whom you've prayed! What a great tool, eh?!

In the preteen-teenage years I always blew her off, saying "yeah, yeah, I know, but can I have a real answer please?" My heart is much different now, but do you have any suggestions for dealing with that attitude in our children?
