For me it has been encouraging my kids to be readers. I look back on all the strife and struggles. I remember myself as a parent of toddlers trying to get them to do "enrichment" activities that took longer to put together than to actually play out. Those weren't bad things but they haven't come close to being as effective as taking them to the library regularly and just having books all over the house.

The other things we've done well are having lots of board games around and playing them with some regularity and family walks.

The thing I haven't been amazing at is family dinner. We eat together every night but the quality of dinners has declined over the past five years and most nights we're eating at the counter rather than the table and I feel like my kids manners have suffered as a result. And this pains me to say but our quality of NUTRITION has also declined a lot in the past five or maybe honestly ten years. I feel acutely like I need to work on that!

What about you?
