[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many of these would you feel can be done as non-negotiables. 5??

These are family rituals we love, but while I love all of them, all of them is not doable. My kids love the idea of these things too. (Add in school, groceries, random sports meetings/games/events)

Bible app listening / spiritual discussion
Breakfast
Lunch
Dinner (no screens, connection)
3 of us want to strength train
Chores (15m or less)
Chore check (parent/kid accountability)
Homework
Reading
Consistent bedtime wind-down
Sleep / bedtime routine
Hug good night
Sunday: lay out clothes for the week[/quote]

Except for the Bible app, and lay out clothes for the week, my family did this when the kids were young. Spouse and I switched off early morning workouts. Did the kids do chores every day? No, but that's because some things (empty the dishwasher) didn't happen every day.  With one kid, for whom mornings were a challenge, we did add picking out clothes for the next day to their regular bedtime routine (bath, books, bed).  Hugs are a given, no need to put on a "to do" list.[/quote]
