This may sound trite, but I learn more about God from my children than they learn about God from me. I think it’s important to frequently be the student when parenting.
When my kids have questioned me, I’ve asked them to pick out their favorite toy and said that God loves everything he has made much more than you love your toy. That’s why it’s important for all of the people God has made to love and take care of everything else God has made (other people and the rest of creation).
As far as not hearing him when they pray, I haven’t come across that yet.
