At bedtime what should parents read for their children?

Question

I try to read daily Ayatul Kursi,the four Quls and a small Duaa for the children and blow on them. Is this correct and also please recommend other suitable Dua's.

Answer

There is nothing wrong in Reading and making Dua for your children. A parent must continue to make dua for their children, while they are reading
they must include the following duas. "I commend you to the protection of Allah's perfect words from every devil (shaytaan) vermin and every evil eye". "Let Allah not make you means of a test for me" and also "There is no strength to avoid evil and to good except with the help of Allah".

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
