The prayers themselves may have been simple ones such as our "Angel of God" prayer, or the "Hail Mary." We began saying a different one with our kids several years ago. Sir SuziQ got it from the Liturgy of the Hours. It is beautiful:
"Protect us, Lord, as we stay awake, and watch over us as we sleep. That awake, we may keep watch with Christ, and asleep, rest in His Peace."
Our kids get an allowance, and in return are expected to do different chores around the house. We are having them tithe from that money.

This is the way to teach Catholics tithing! If only all families would do it and follow through!
Unfortunately, it is an area in which I failed miserably as a parent.
