What are you doing to create amazing core memories or traditions for your children?

@SunshineGirl Love these!! We do dance parties too, they’re terrific. I love your swimming one! We do something similar, but we’re far from any ocean lol I love the books at bathtime too. Is that before bed? If so, what does the rest of your bedtime routine look like?

@cherryxblossom When we started fostering her at the beginning of last year, her teacher told us that she is a very capable reader, but she needs to concentrate more and read widely to support her other schoolwork. So I got her choose a book. I read one chapter aloud, she reads the next. She loves that and we're getting through the classics! Bathtime is just a good way to chill out and catch up after her usually very active day. She's 13 and doesn't really need supervision, but because of the amount of time she spent in childrens homes she seems to find the routine quite reassuring. Pyjamas and bed after that. She'll sleep 10-11 hours and doesn't have much interest in social media 😊

@SunshineGirl That’s wonderful. What is her favorite genre? I love to hear that she’s found a safe haven with you. I think we’d all be better off doing away with social media 😜

@cherryxblossom We started off with Little Women, which was great, now we seem to have settled into teenage vampire novels which all run into one another 😅 But the human contact is just as important as the reading matter 🙂
