[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]

My kids are clearly older than yours and go to different schools at different times and we are not religious, so 1-3 are out for us. My kid's are very active, so they don't strength train.

We also don't have them do chores every day, but they do them consistently when it's on their schedule.

I don't understand the difference between bedtime wind-down, bedtime routine, and hug good night. Again, my kids are in elementary and middle school, so maybe that's the difference. They get themselves ready for bed, read for a while, we say good-night. It's all one thing.

We eat dinner together every night, they do homework every day they have it, they read a LOT every day, and they lay out their clothes the night before. I would never have them lay out all their clothes for the week on Sunday because I think that's unnecessary, but you do do.[/quote]
