Mr. Holt's Notes
Family Challenge-
My wife and I made a commitment about a year ago to "Disconnect to Connect". We noticed that our then one year old was grabbing at our phones trying to get our attention. We looked at each other and knew we had to make a commitment to give more to our boys. I'd love to offer the same challenge to you. Disconnect from your devices (phones, TV, tablet, computer, even music) for a few minutes each night to connect and engage in some undivided quality time with your kiddo(s). We started small at thirty minutes and it was TOUGH! But we have now made it entire nights until our boys go to bed. We have enjoyed our evenings so much more and the vocabulary development with our older son has gone though the roof. I would love to hear from any of you about what changes happen for your family if you give it a go. And we would love ideas about what you do together with your new found time so we can do the same.
How is it going? Has anyone started any new routines?
