(Screens have to be pre-approved and are limited to 30 minutes.)\u00a0Sometimes the older kids need this time to finish schoolwork.<\/p>\n<p>Other popular rest time activities are crafting, legos, writing stories, blogging (my oldest two both have blogs), and reading. I use this time to read, drink tea,\u00a0and clear out my inbox.<\/p>\n<p>After rest time, we head outside. On a freezing day, this might look like\u00a0taking the dog on a short walk around the block. On a beautiful day, we might play in the yard or jump on the trampoline.
