Today we have with us Dr. Laura Froyen from the balanced parent podcast and we discuss the importance of holding a Yes Day with your children and how you can go about that. She gives us two different ways we can go about doing a Yes Day, number one being planned out with ground rules and you tell your child when the day is coming. The second option is a lot more internal and kept to yourself. Your kids don’t know that it’s coming and it’s kind of spontaneous, but you create a Yes Day on the days that you just want to do something fun and different with your kids.

Important question for Adam 29:01
“Sometimes, when it’s not planned, I think when it’s just you, you just have the opportunity to get to know what matters to your kids. One Yes Day all my daughters wanted to do was play board games with me all day long, and I just said, “Yes, yes, yes.” And they just were so happy that we didn’t need to spend any money, they didn’t watch any screens, and then they wanted to go for a walk, and that was it. It was super simple.” 11:23
