In reply to Brenna @ Life After Laundry. The prayer thing IS so sad! :( I guess it may be one of those things you'll just have to remember and cherish, because I don't know if they'll ever say prayers like they once did again!! WAHH!!

I know this is a very important thing for me also. It’s so strange I’m having the same problems with my sons prayers. What was once the sweetest thing I every heard is starting to sound very rushed and insincere.

I couldn’t agree more that in order to teach gratitude we must model gratitude. I love a thankfully and giving heart, those are some of the best qualities in a person to me…. I’m trying to instill those values/traits in my children.

Thank you for linking up to Mommy Monday and sharing your wonderful tips!

Instilling good values is so important! It’s not always easy, but they do learn by example and it’s so worth it! Great series!

I miss that time when they just all their love, faith and thanks shout out from inside. Then, it’s like they pull it in a cocoon – hold it close until it emerges like a butterfly one day. With my boys, thankfullness seems more realized as they step out of the nest into independence. The more firmly independent, the more thankful:) Still trying to figure out ways to develop a thankful spirit in the nest without them feeling like I’m manipulating – which is the teen perception of teaching:)

Great post! I love your perspective and look forward to exploring your blog more. I’m especially challenged with figuring out how to introduce faith to my young boys and agree that modeling that behavior is the first step.

What a great post! I think the best advice is to model the behavior we want our children to adopt. It applies to all areas of life, and especially in this area.
