I've done this for years as part of the Ignatius Spiritual Exercises but never really shared this tool as part of the prayer time with our kids. I WILL now!! Excellent format and guidance above. The examen and all together at the dinner table. That is a great combination!!

We've been doing #1 as part of our prayers each night and it's really heartwarming to hear even my 2yo thank God for a list of things like the ice cream and watching TV, etc. I will probably gradually add one of the other questions to our routine until we get to do the whole examen.

When my nephew was a wee one, his mom asked the children at the end of a blistering hot day what they were most thankful for, and he said, "Juice."

Often parents aren't able to have a dialogue with their children and so they don't know what makes them happy. I think that this examen is a very good way to talk with children or young people .

I am excited to find ways to incorporate thoughful reflection into her life. I even used the exact phrase "What made you happy or sad today?" It was a great consolation reading your article. Thanks.
