Intentional Moment:
Nite Time Talk
It is the end of the day, just before they are getting ready to power down for a much needed 10-12 hours of hard earned sleep. There are times in the day getting your child to complete a full sentence will not happen. Use this quiet calm time to gain insight into your child's day.

With this close proximity time it can be used simply for positive loving contact. It can be used to reflect on situations, recall and give credit to an action. Returning to a lesson that was learned. It doesn't have to be every night, Lord knows night time...is parent time. Use it intermittently and ask your child meaningful, mindful questions. It is fun to hear their thoughts and responses. Primarily it is a small effort to be present with your child, we and they will benefit from that act no matter the conversation fodder.
