Davening for healthy children that follow the path of Torah:[1]

It is proper for one to Daven daily that the words of Torah do not cede from his mouth or the mouth of his children and that all of his descendants be true servants of Hashem. [One of the most fundamental elements of chinuch—and of success in raising healthy children—is involving Hashem directly. This means turning to Him every single day, asking and beseeching Him to guide our children along the proper path and to protect their physical, spiritual, and emotional well‑being. As much effort as parents invest—planning, teaching, guiding, and caring—there is a limit to what human initiative alone can achieve. The need for Divine assistance, for true siyata diShmaya, cannot be overstated. Personal tefillah on behalf of one’s children is not merely a good practice; it is a positive directive in the Torah as part of the Mitzvah to daven to Hashem for one’s personal needs. And what greater or more meaningful purpose can prayer have than seeking goodness, protection, clarity, and growth for one’s own children? When a parent davens sincerely for their children, they acknowledge a profound truth: that chinuch is ultimately a partnership between human responsibility and Divine guidance, and that lasting success flows from aligning the two.]

Candle lighting:[2] A most auspicious time for this prayer is upon lighting candles on Erev Shabbos.
