Scenario

When families try too hard to create meaningful moments together

Our family has this pattern where we plan special one-on-one time with each kid but then we spend that time trying to make it meaningful instead of just being together, and I can feel everyone getting tense about it. We're working so hard at presence that we're not actually present.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A family is discovering that forcing special moments prevents the natural connection they're seeking.
