Prayer To Read to Infants Daily, Even for Short Periods

Prayer
Faithful God,
Encourage caregivers to create intentional moments of connection through reading. Let each story become a time of closeness, warmth, and learning. Help them to understand that even a few minutes of reading can strengthen both language development and emotional bonds.
Amen.

Scripture Reflection (KJV)
“Train up a child in the way he should go…” — Proverbs 22:6
Early guidance shapes a child’s future. Reading, even in small moments, nurtures growth, understanding, and connection, laying a strong foundation for lifelong learning.

Practice / Task
Set aside a few minutes each day to read to your infant. Choose simple books with pictures, colors, or rhythm, and focus on connection rather than perfection.
Remind yourself: “These small moments of reading are building a lifelong foundation.”
