Why do I forget? 2 years ago

I pray every night with the kids, but I’m not actually praying so much as modeling correct prayers for the kids. But then I don’t always say my own prayers privately. I pray alone when I’m especially grateful for something, but I always forget to ask for help when I need it. We teach the kids to start with gratitude for all of our many blessings, and then to ask for help if they need help with something (‘please be with me tomorrow at school and help me to rest instead of goofing around at nap time’ etc) but I don’t practice what I preach as much as I should. I’ve got gratitude down, but I stubbornly struggle through things on my own instead of asking for help. One of our kids prays for everything, as a first step in problem solving. He literally prays for hangnails before coming to us for help. I could take a lesson from him, I think.
