Working parents · ages 3–5
Thirty calm minutes after work. That's the whole plan.
Read for ten, play for ten, wind down for ten — every weekday evening, zero prep. Five minutes on Sunday fills a basket; the rest is done for you for twelve weeks.
- 12 weeks × 5 evenings, each about 30 minutes
- Sunday 5-minute basket list — nothing to prep on weeknights
- Read prompts that work with any picture book you own
- A different calm-down ritual every night
What's inside
Read (10 min)
A simple prompt that turns any book into conversation.
Play (10–12 min)
One activity from the basket, scaled with easier/harder notes.
Calm close (5–8 min)
Breathing, a quiet song, 'best part of today' — so bedtime starts gently.
Bad-day rule
Only energy for the read block? Do that. It still counts.
Made for you if…
- ✓ You work all day and feel the evening guilt
- ✓ Your child is in daycare but you want your own learning time together
- ✓ You have 30 minutes, not 3 hours
Questions parents ask
What if we miss days?
Pick up wherever you are. The weeks don't depend on each other.
My kids are 3 and 5 — can they do it together?
Yes. Each activity has easier and harder versions so siblings can share it.
