“Ritual” can sound formal… but what I really mean is this, what are the predictable, enjoyable moments in your home that are so consistent no one even thinks about grabbing a device? We’re not fighting against screens. We’re building a family culture that makes screens less interesting. When kids know when “Together Time” happens, the anxiety drops. The constant “Can I play now?” softens. Stability is powerful. A few simple ideas by age: 🧸 3–5: A 15-minute “Pajama Parade” before bed it could be one song, one prayer, one silly dance. Same rhythm every night. 🥞 6–9: Saturday breakfast with phones in another room. Pancakes. Bedhead. Conversation. 🧩 10–11: Friday Theme Night ideas include tacos, board games, movie picks on rotation. Let them help choose. 🚕 12–17: Make the car a short-trip phone-free zone. Some of the best talks happen while looking out the windshield. What ritual anchors your week? This is Day 6 of our 7-day screen struggle reset inside Connected Through Play where we focus on communication, cooking, and play. If you want practical ways to build connection without dramatic rules, come join us.

What an incredible first meeting of the VIP cohort. The level of expertise and the genuine interest in authentic collaboration is out of this world. I'm so honoured that you all have trusted in me to bring you together, and I can't wait to see what you all co-create in the next year. I will create a course in the community to hold all the VIP resources moving forward, and the recording(s) 😂 for today's session will be there later today. Thanks again to everyone for making the time to meet "in-person" today. 😊 See you around the Skool-a-verse and in two weeks at our next meeting!

I just published a new article on Substack called: “Amplified Wisdom: Why AI Didn’t Replace Me, It Multiplied My Impact.” For years, my work was limited to classrooms, workshops, and coaching calls. Now? The calm, respectful parenting systems I’ve spent 40+ years developing can support parents at 2 a.m., before yelling happens. This article explains why I’m not afraid of AI… and why I believe scaling calm is one of the most powerful prevention tools we have today. If you’ve ever wondered: • Why I built the app • Why Day of Calm matters so much • Or why I’m so passionate about emotional regulation This will give you the bigger picture. You can read it here: https://beabetterparent.substack.com/p/amplified-wisdom-why-ai-didnt-replace?r=6jjjay And I’d love to know your thoughts. Do you think AI replaces expertise… or amplifies it? Let’s talk about it below 👇
