When my children were little we went to the library once a week. We would come home with a stack of new-to-us books to read.

Our nightly ritual was to read in bed for an hour. Those are memories I still treasure to this day.

I don't have the answers on how to instill the importance of spending quality time with children. I didn't have a great relationship with either of mine growing up. I do remember going to the library at least once a month, which was very important in raising myself to be an inquisitive adult still to this day.

Thanks for your thoughtful post @honeydue!
