It was a great week! We had 4 couch times and 1 date night. We are enjoying being back in the class again and learning from the other parents sharing their experiences.
Date nights are recommended during the course of this class once a week. Could just be having coffee together or watching the sunset...time away from the kids for you to connect with each other. They say that kids do not go through separation anxiety when Mom is with Dad.
Couch time is an uninterrupted time that you & your spouse sit and talk for 15 minutes each day. It provides children with a visual sense of your togetherness. The kids should be awake & doing something in the room so that you are visible to them...so they can witness this Daddy/ Mommy time. When your children witness this it satisfies their inner need of measuring your love relationship. As a bonus it strengthens your marriage too. If the kids do try to interrupt only Dad is to address them...this can be tough Mom's! :)
One common benefit from the couch time is that your children will sleep through the night without trying to get into your bed. It is said that this happens when they are not secure in your relationship with one another. We have witnessed two families that had this concept dramatically change their lives and give them a great night's rest free of little ones in their bed. :)
This is such a great course and well worth your investment of time.
