The key to our children having good days, starts the night before.
Unlocking God's word with our children at bedtime opens the door for our kids to learn scripture that they will have access to for a life time. Making the choice to include scripture at bedtime a priority with our kids can help them, (and you) battle nighttime fears, anxieties, worries, and so much more.
Using scriptures that targets our kids big emotions that can raise their unwanted heads at night time gives us a rock to rest on when we were not sure what to do. It can even calm our own hearts in the middle of the chaos of bedtime. Kids learn through repetition. So, having a scripture or two, to help our children find their way to a peaceful nights sleep in our bedtime toolbox is one key to calmer nights.
