How are our kids actually spending their time — and is it aligned with what we value for our families' lives and for our children's well-being?

This week, Amy and Margaret discuss:

  • How sleep too often loses out to homework and activities

  • Time tracking and the sobering truth it can show about how many hours a week our kids actually spend on screens

  • How outdoor time and free play, too often in short supply, affects creativity, independence, and self-regulation

  • Strategies for families to audit time, realign priorities, and invite kids into decision-making

It's worth the effort to track how our time is actually spent. As Annie Dillard said: “How we spend our days is how we spend our lives.”
