Bedtime is hard. I think September bedtimes are the hardest. The summertime adventures are over and everyone is settling into a new routine. Bedtime has traditionally been a time to settle in a recap the day, the good things, the difficult things, the confusing things, the wonderful and amazing things. Bible books and bedtimes prayers can help to frame all those experiences in light of God’s loving presence, for you and for your child. Take some time and make them part of your evening.
