"While many families use traditional prayers, this book suggests another option: a method for reviewing the day, talking about what you wish you had done different, what and who you are thankful for, and experiencing how God was there with you throughout the day. Behind this method is Saint Ignatius, who believed expressing gratitude for our lives was the single most important practice of spirituality. For small children, reflecting on the day for just a minute is plenty of time and a simple, beautiful way to end a day. It truly only does take just a moment to give thanks and no matter your religion this method works in starting a new bedtime routine with children."
