A Simple Challenge to Connect with Your Kids

Feel too Busy to Really Connect with Your Kids?

I know how you feel!  I know you are tired.  You’re brain is filled with tomorrow’s playdate location, common core homework confusion, and absolutely no ideas for tonight’s dinner.  I get it.  I’m knee-deep in that mama trench with you.  Too often taking time to connect with your kids is the last thing on the list.  That’s why when I was invited to participate in the #MilkLife Challenge, I knew it was worth my time – and brain space.  And it’s worth yours, too.  Want to join me?

The #MilkLife Challenge Can Help You Connect With Your Kids!

Finding those little moments of connection with your kids takes a daily choice and effort.  The #MilkLife Challenge makes it easier with simple daily challenges to inspire you.  Here are some tips to get started today:

• While you’re starting your day off with a healthy breakfast and a glass of protein-packed milk, check the Milk Life Facebook Page to see what the day’s challenge is.
• Get the kids involved in brainstorming how you’ll incorporate the challenge into your day ahead.
• Keep it simple!  These challenges are already easy and made to incorporate right into your daily activities.  So don’t overthink it or stress yourself out.
• Keep it in perspective; It’s about connection – making the most of the little moments – with your kids!  

• If all else fails, share a glass of milk!  An 8 oz. glass of milk has 9 essential nutrients, including 8 grams of high-quality protein; so sharing a glass with your kids not only gives you the opportunity to connect and nourishing them emotionally but nutritionally and physically, too!
• Make sure you stop back to the Milk Life Facebook Page to share how you participated in the #MilkLife Challenge to be entered to win a month’s supply of MILK!
