How Do I Bless My Son

Bless your child before bed. It can be a simple as saying, “God bless you, sweet boy” or marking the child’s forehead with the sign of the cross, using your thumb. The words and the gesture can feel like a blanket, a soft covering before the child goes into the darkness just before sleep. Start the day with a blessing.

How do you bless a child?

People bless their children in a variety of ways. Some parents place their hands on the head of the child they are blessing, while parents of very young ones often hold them in their arms. Some parents prefer to cup the face of their child in their hands or cuddle together.

What are examples of blessings?

Blessing is defined as God’s favor, or a person’s sanction or support, or something you ask God for, or something for which you are grateful. When God looks down upon you and protects you, this is an example of God’s blessing. When a father OKs a marriage proposal, this is an example of when he gives his blessing.
