Tonight’s Activity: The “Do Nothing” Night Kids Love

Try this tonight.

No plan. No prep. No pressure.

Just:

  • Turn on music
  • Dim the lights
  • Lay on the floor or couch together
  • Let your kids lead what happens next

Sometimes they’ll talk.

Sometimes they’ll play.

Sometimes they’ll just sit with you.

It doesn’t look like much.

But those are often the moments kids remember most.
