I can't even count the number of times I've asked my husband if we could spend the day together as a family, only to have him look at me with fright and ask, "But what could we possibly do?" Now, thanks to ... 52 Family Time Ideas, I can hand him a book and say, "Just pick what you think would be fun for the day." I only wish I had this book when my kids were younger and their minds more impressionable. Don't worry though; you don't need to carve out an entire day to spend quality time with your kids. All you need is twenty minutes a week to rediscover how fun life can be when you're spending it with the ones you love....

Reviews of Connecting with Your Kids

"The bookstores are flooded with parenting books, but what I like best about Timothy Smith's CONNECTING WITH YOUR KIDS is its unique spin on finding the right "pace" for your family. Rather than offer a one-size-fits-all approach, Smith acknowledges the uniqueness of every family—and every family member—and offers concrete suggestions to make your special combination of personalities mesh in a way that doesn't make everyone crazy.... As a now-identified Walker parent of a Runner and a Cruiser, I appreciated that Smith allows for uniqueness among families rather than a cookie-cutter approach. Even if your family isn't overscheduled, this worthwhile book will give you some good insights into increasing the quality of your family life."--Cindy Crosby, FaithfulReader.com

"Smith offers sound, logical and practical advice to help parents discover and embrace the idea that parenting does not have to overwhelm you or take all your time and resources. He gives permission to cut back on activities and reduce the frantic pace of life while enriching family relationships.... If you want to slow your pace, enjoy your family more and live the family life God wants for you, Connecting with Your Kids is a manual that should be in your home. If you use it wisely and properly, it should look ragged and used in no time at all."--Andrea Sisco, ArmchairInterviews.com
