For Parents
There is a deep comfort for a child in knowing that when they call out in the dark, someone answers. Tonight's verse, Psalm 17:6, promises God does not just maybe answer, He will, leaning in close the way a parent comes when they hear their child's voice. As you say goodnight, you might invite them to call on God about one thing, big or little. Then let them rest, never talking to an empty room, sure He is right here and listening close.

Questions Kids Ask
Does God really answer when a kid prays?
In Psalm 17:6 David says he calls on God because God will answer him, not might, but will (Psalm 17:6). When your child talks to God, He does not ignore them or walk away, He leans in close to listen, so they are never talking to an empty room.
