i politely disagree, the best way is yo daven. no need to be aware of nothing.
Are you serious? But what happens if your tefilos were not miskabel?
What if your son or daughter is cv not perfect, and for some reason gets bullied/thrown out of school? What will help you or them be aware of the dangers of drugs?
What if your job/marriage is stressful, CV you break a leg and get hooked on narcotics?
What if you're choshuver bochur drinks at every sholom zocur, bris, Kiddush, fabregen, late night Seder, week end, beIN hazmanim, chasuna, vort, etc. And you only find out there is a problem when his new kallah can't handle it?
How will you be aware?
Either way, your tefilos are definitely needed and appreciated!
