SUMMARY

What if we told you that your life could get easier with just 10 minutes a day? No, we aren't talking about face yoga or a power nap (those do sound pretty good though!). When we take time to connect with our kids, our entire perspective can shift. Less defiance and frustration, more *joy* in parenting. If you feel overwhelmed at the idea of adding one more thing to your plate, we get it! We are sharing simple ways to build connection into your everyday life.
