As the world gets more and more manic, I think we, the parents, need to do everything in our power to keep our kids’ world as calm as possible. We have so many beautiful options to infuse calm into their lives. Unstructured play time is a big one. You know I would love if a lot of this time could be spent outside in nature.

Get back to the basics. They’re classics for a reason and they truly rejuvenate you in a way Netflix just can’t. Get through your manic Monday with thoughts of your next relaxing moment.
