Play is the glue for parents to see their children where they are and for who they are.

Remember-- progress not perfection. Aim for 5 minutes of play to work on getting a closer relationship. The time is going to pass anyway.

Self-Care: Read fiction, go run or walk and build puzzles.

The puzzles are called Wentworth Wooden Puzzles; they’re out of England. https://www.wentworthpuzzles.com/us/

Play Activity: We like to snowboard! It's an adventure and the memories are fun. Roadtrips are a family go to before coivd. Susan and her daughters also enjoy baking cookies and icing them.
