You’d think the idea that rest is important would be obvious to us—that we’d have the sense to take a break every once in a while and step away from the hustle, the grind, the notifications, and the striving; that we’d know enough to replenish our energy stores, to pause and reflect, to reconnect to our loved ones and ourselves, and to simply relax the mind and body.
You’d also think it’d be even more obvious that rest is important and beneficial to our children—that quiet and downtime and togetherness and space are critical to their well-being.
