Escaping the Family Time Trap: A Practical Guide for Over-Busy Families

Learn what you value and manage your time accordingly...

This is not another book that shows you how to make the best use of your daily planner or how to de-clutter your house.

Escaping the Family Time Trap teaches families how to better manage their time so that they have more time to connect as a family, to eat dinner together, to live in accord with their Christian values. The authors set out, in a practical style, questions families can use to define their values, by asking “what do we really want as a family?” Then help you determine “what’s stopping us from connecting?” and take steps to bring the time management of their lives in line with these values by asking “how can we create connectedness?” Finally, the authors encourage you to move beyond the family to bring these values out into the world.
