We typically have everyone pray at times, during family worship, though I am the primary pray-er. I pray at the start, and a longer prayer at the end to close the day. My kids very frequently (unless we have company) pray at the dinner table - this is something they've all wanted to do very young (God be praised!), and our youngest, who just turned 2 last month, has made her way into the dinner prayer rotation.
