Sometimes when we’re tempted to take the line of least resistance, we fall into patterns that we wouldn’t choose if we gave them some thought. To walk that back causes discomfort, but it’s nothing compared to the discomfort we would feel if we did nothing. Think about letting the boundaries slip on excessive screen time, or late nights. If we don’t create those boundaries now, we’re in for a far tougher time in the future. Let’s pause and reflect on the choices we make today, for they shape our tomorrow. . . . #TheLightHouseLearningHub #CoWork #CoWorkingForKids #Reflection #Boundaries #FutureFocused
