[quote=Anonymous]Similar to the PPs, I spend about 10 minutes with each kid before bedtime. It started with my oldest when he wanted to talk about his 'worries'. As the day winds down and it gets closer to bedtime, his mind would go back over his day or think about the next day. This time became a way of processing things that he'd shoved to the back of his mind. Of course, after a while, DD wanted some time with me, too. Then the youngest. At first, they younger kids didn't have much to say so we just chatted about their day or what they were looking forward to. Oldest is now 13 and while we don't do it as often as we used to, "Mom, can I talk to you?" still means - can we go lay on your bed and talk? Like you, DH and I both WOH. Since I'm with the kids in the morning, I get home later. Sometimes, I come in the front door and go straight to the bedroom to begin the chats.[/quote]
