SJF PARENT BOOK CLUB
THANK YOU for joining us on our 10-week journey through this insightful book. Here are the top 10 take aways:

Delay smartphones and social media. Childhood is not a race. Less screen time now builds stronger mental health later.
Protect sleep at all costs. Well-rested children are more joyful, focused, and resilient. Phones do not belong in bedrooms.
Bring back free play. Unstructured, outdoor play teaches problem-solving, courage, and cooperation.
Let kids do hard things. Struggle is not harm — it’s how confidence is built.
Choose real friendships over virtual ones. Face-to-face connection matters more than likes and followers.
Normalize boredom. Creativity and independence grow when children learn to entertain themselves.
Set clear family tech boundaries. Kids feel safer when adults lead with consistency and clarity.
Model healthy phone habits. What children see us do matters more than what we say.
Anchor your family in faith. Prayer, gratitude, and service give children a sense of meaning beyond themselves.
Lean on your village. When families, schools, and churches work together, children thrive.

Thank you for partnering with us to form children who are not just academically prepared, but confident, compassionate, and grounded in faith. Together, we are rebuilding childhood — one intentional choice at a time.
