Family Prayer & Scriptures and TSG

Hi!

Could you talk about using self-government with family prayer and scripture habits? My kids are generally willing, but sometimes aren't ready by the time we've agreed on in the morning or are distracted with other things while we are reading. We have some standing instructions related to this but I guess I don't want to force it on them in a way that turns them away! Also my 4 year old (my #5 of 6 kids) never wants to pray. I'm guessing it has to do with worrying what his older brothers think. I've worked on teaching him why we pray but any other thoughts you have would be great. Thank you!!
