The Balance Project Book Club is finally here!
Are you ready to take a break from screens and reconnect with your family, your thoughts, and maybe even yourself? Join us on our year-long journey (or for just a few!) as we learn how to find b a l a n c e in our daily lives by exploring 6 books over the next 12 months. Our book selection has been carefully curated to ensure a range of viewpoints to inform a well-rounded perspective on this complex and multi-layered topic.
Book Club participants will receive guiding questions prior to our meeting designed to help us dive right into our discussion that night. We’re excited to hear your thoughts, learn together, and explore ways to build a healthier relationship with technology and real life!
Book #1: How To Break Up With Your Phone
Meeting date: 3/31 - Meeting details to come
Starting off with a bang — this one is for US!
In this engaging, eye-opening read from Catherine Price, we will learn how to regain control of our digital lives, establish healthier habits, and perhaps most important, model mindful phone usage for our kids.
Let’s come together, discuss realistic strategies, and support one another on a mission toward better balance. It’s time to put down the phone and pick up a book—your mind (and your relationships) will thank you!
Book #2: Free Range Kids
Meeting date: 5/7 ; virtual option to come
In this thought-provoking read, Lenore Skenazy provides her perspective on the importance of childhood independence — how giving children freedom to explore, take risks, make mistakes and encounter "struggles with a small s" will help them grow into confident, capable, resilient adults. A parent's dream!
We'll work through how to strike the right balance between independence and safety to set our sweet kiddos up for success (and to calm our personal parental anxieties around this!)
