We have family reading hour every evening
We started a new practice in our own household at the new year where each night the entire family heads to the living room for an hour or so. The only rule: It’s is a work-free zone for my husband and me. No phones. No computers. Our girls may finish their own homework during this hour, but we are simply reading books that we enjoy quietly together. My husband and I realized that we needed to do this first for ourselves, to consciously carve out a little peace in the day with our phones turned off. And then we noticed that our girls were picking up their own books and really looking forward to this time spent reading as a family. It quickly became the most treasured part of our day and creating this space to read casually together, and also trusting that there is time to step away from work and the hustle of life, that has been life-changing for us. And it’s had the side benefit of modeling for our girls that there is always time to read for pleasure. You might not know these incredible health benefits of reading.
