A couple of weeks ago Shirley and I recognized that every night as we were trying to gather the girls in their room to say prayers and then go to bed, it was next to impossible. Every single night they were wired with energy, and it just always seemed to end up as a negative experience, rather than positive which of course it should be. So Shirley had the idea that every night we should have a rule that the TV's and computers are off in the house after dinner. We got the girls on board, and gave the rule a shot.
Wow, what a difference it has been making for us. Over the last week, we have found that the time we have been spending together as a family after dinner time has been tremendous. We have been playing games, watching movies, singing, and reading books. In just one short week, we have had so many rewarding experiences already. The girls are still a little wired when bed time comes, but we have noticed improvement there as well.
