It is hard to fit in sometimes, but even just 10-15 minutes right before bed can work. Plus Audible in the car gets us another hour or so a day. I actually started when the oldest wouldn't go to bed as a way to settle him down.

We love The Hobbit. My 8yo the other day at dinner said "If Frodo or Bilbo had just killed Gollum instead of being kind to him, then Middle Earth would not have been saved." A great discussion of justice vs forgiveness ensued, but unfortunately did not carry over to their sibling rivalry ;)




I find reading before bed really helps to get them to sleep. It gets their minds off what ever they were thinking about.

I myself get extremely tired when I try to read something close to bed.
