Happy Friday!!! It’s time to being The Enjoyment Project Challenge #3!!
Admittedly, this one is a little bit more time consuming than the previous two challenges. It does take a little bit more intentional effort. But remember…it is a CHALLENGE, which by nature takes some effort. Also, remember that when you are faced with a challenge, what you put into it is what you will get out of it.
So, for the next 21 days my challenge to you is this: Get down on the floor with your kiddos for 10 minutes every day.
Yes, the floor is hard. Yes, 10 minutes can seem like a long time when legos are just not as necessarily as laundry and lunch. Yes, acting like a duck and laying eggs in a nest is not exactly my idea of fun, either.
But do you know who will LOVE this? Your kids. They will eat it up. They will look forward to that 10 minutes every single day. In fact, I bet that they will ask for MORE time when that minutes is over. For now, let’s start with 10. If you feel like you can do more than 10 minutes, DO MORE. Please. But if you feel like 10 minutes is very difficult, then just start with 10 minutes. Every day. For the next 21 days.
Oh, and one more very, very important detail.
NO PHONES. No planner or to-do lists or your own book and agenda. Just 10 minutes on the floor or at the table or in the driveway with your child doing an activity of their choice.
I promise it will change your outlook on your child and your relationship with him/her if you actually commit to doing this challenge.
Let’s enjoy our children!!!
