Express your thankfulness to God by sharing or teaching the Grace After Meals blessing: We give you thanks, O Lord, for these thy gifts, which we have received from thy goodness, through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Repeat the lines above, and ask: What does God want for all of us? How can we know? How can we help everyone live the life God wants for his children?

Teach your child a breathing prayer like this one: Take a deep, slow breath. Hold it for just a moment and then simply say or whisper, “Jesus.” Breathe out slowly and say, “I trust you.” Invite your child to repeat this prayer a few times throughout the day, especially in times of stress.

Spend some time with the definition. Point out that it’s different from “hollow.” Write “hallowed” on a sheet of paper, and have your child see how many other words can be formed out of it: hall, owe, wade, wed, etc.
