Hi there and welcome to episode 2008. Today we're talking about how to initiate quiet time in your family.

Hi, this is Denay. I'm the founder of Simple Families.

Simple Families is an online community for parents who are seeking a simpler, more intentional life.

In this show, we focus on minimalism with kids, positive parenting, family wellness, and decreasing the mental load.

My perspectives are based in my firsthand experience raising kids, but also rooted in my PhD in

child development.

So you're going to hear conversations that are based in research,

but more importantly, real life.

Thanks for joining us.

Hi there, thank you for tuning in. We are cruising or maybe I should say

crawling into our third week of social distancing and I don't know about you,

but quiet time is highly valuable right now.

So today I'm going to be answering a question

about how to execute quiet time in your house, even when you don't think it's possible.

I gave up hope on quiet time quite a while ago and I have to say that we've been able to

bring it back and I have a few suggestions on how you can do the same.

If you're new to the podcast in these shorter episodes, I start by sharing something simple that I'm

loving and then I move on to a question from an audience member. So today

I'll go ahead and get started with my something simple. So what I'm loving today

is the Peloton Digital app. Some of you who follow me over on Instagram know that I am a huge

peloton fan. We have the bike and I use it a lot. It's been so good for my

physical and mental health and I recently started dabbling in the other activities on the app and they are running a 90 day free trial right now for everyone who is at home inside looking to get some workouts in.
