How Real Families Use This Guide
I recommend reading the Key Concepts first, so the theme makes sense. From there, it’s up to you! Turn on a playlist while driving home. Pull out a coloring page at the coffee shop. Read a book during bedtime. Do it all in one week or space it out for when you need a screen-free nature moment.
