My wife Ardith and I have two children.
Cedro and Draelen.
All our schedules are really busy, and we're all trying to balance our crazy hectic life.
We try and incorporate breaks throughout the day for fun family activities and exercise -- or creative time where they can be away from the screen The kids can get refocused and reenergized.
And I think it overall helps with the stress levels.
A really great thing we've been doing recently is having grandpa reading time where we dial in with my stepfather and he's been been helping the kids with their reading.
HI Draelen Hi Are we ready for some new words?
Yes Grandpa will often prepare things based on what they're learning in school.
He's been putting together these things for my daughter - working with words -and adding in family pictures to get her really excited.
On top of her PaPa And their you are sitting right up on his shoulder side It's really been a win-win situation as it gives me some more free time.
And the kids have really been enjoying their quality time with grandpa.
And their reading has really improved because of it.
Very good 'Dre you did great vey It's been such a great way for us to stay connected as a family.
Thank you
