All kids say it at one time or another. Sometimes it seems like all the time.
Just suggest that they say a rosary. It doesn’t take long and the good that they will receive surely outways the effort that they have to exert. If you child doesn’t have rosary handy, they can always say the prayers with the beads.
Here is something that I copied from the Knights of Columbus website that may be helpful.
How to Pray the Rosary
Prayers of the Rosary
Sign of the Cross
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Apostles Creed
I believe in God the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth; and
in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy
Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary; suffered under Pontius Pilate, was
crucified, died and was buried. He descended into hell; the third day
He arose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at
the right hand of God the Father almighty; from thence He shall come to
judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit; the Holy
Catholic Church; the Communion of Saints; the forgiveness of sins; the
resurrection of the body; and life everlasting. Amen.
Our Father
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our
daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who
trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us
from evil. Amen.
Hail Mary
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among
women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary. Mother
of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
Glory Be
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it
was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end.
Amen.
Fatima Prayer
O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell and
lead all souls to heaven, especially those most in need of Thy mercy.
Hail Holy Queen
Hail Holy Queen, Mother of mercy, our life, our sweetness and our hope!
To you do we cry, poor banished children of Eve; to you do we send up
our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears! Turn then,
most gracious advocate, your eyes of mercy toward us; and after this,
our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of your womb, Jesus. O
clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary!
V: Pray for us, Holy Mother of God.
R: That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
Let
us pray. O God, whose only-begotten Son, by his Life, Death and
Resurrection, has purchased for us the rewards of eternal life, grant,
we beseech you, that we who meditate on these mysteries of the most
holy Rosary of the blessed Virgin Mary, may both imitate what they
contain and obtain what they promise, through the same Christ our Lord.
Amen.
