SALT LAKE CITY, UT - A local parenting expert is turning to a higher power for guidance. Kyriaki, known to many as the host of "The Den Mother Podcast" and a regular parenting contributor, has released a new book focused on the role of prayer in family life. She argues that prayer is not just a religious ritual but a practical tool for connection and resilience.

In her book, Kyriaki describes prayer as a way to slow down and find clarity amid the chaos of raising children. She suggests that even a simple moment of quiet reflection can help parents respond with patience instead of reacting out of frustration. The book offers examples of how families can weave prayer into their daily routines, from morning commutes to bedtime conversations.

Kyriaki emphasizes that the practice is not about having all the answers. Instead, she sees it as a way to release the pressure of perfection. For her, prayer creates space for gratitude and helps parents remember they are not alone in their struggles. The book aims to encourage mothers and fathers to explore this practice, regardless of their specific faith background, as a source of strength and peace in the demanding journey of raising children.
