Ada Nicodemou, Aussie actress, mother and ambassador for the Little People Big Lives campaign reveals the one thing she does before bed.
“Like most parents I have a very busy schedule, so dedicating time to connect with Johnas one-on-one is so important to me. Something simple as being fully present and avoiding electronics at times when we are naturally together, like dinner time and before bed, is really just about setting ground-rules to protect those moments,” Ada reveals.
“Parenting isn’t rocket science, although with all the information we’re bombarded with, it can sometimes feel that way. I believe there are five key action areas which guides parents to embrace a simpler, more holistic approach to children’s health and wellbeing,” she adds.
“These five areas are Safety, Security, Love and Belonging, Healthy Eating and Drinking, Active Play, Healthy Sleep and Positive Screen Time,” Ada continues.
“Taking a step back from the noise today, giving ourselves and our kids the best start in life doesn’t seem so complicated anymore. I’m the first to admit family life is incredibly busy.
“It’s the little things like family dinners, playing in the backyard and one-on-one conversations before bedtime that set up our kids for a lifetime of good physical and mental health. We need to reconnect with those simple instincts now more than ever, and we all have time for that!”
