The 10:10:10 Rule: Why Doing Nothing for 10 Minutes Will Change Everything
Description
In this episode of Thriving Parenting, host Jen introduces two simple yet powerful practices that can completely transform your family’s connection and calm — the 10:10:10 Rule and the 10-Minute Do Nothing Rule.
Jen shares how these time-tested tools helped her navigate early motherhood with three kids under five and a husband often away for work. Through small, intentional moments — 10 minutes after waking, 10 minutes when reuniting, and 10 minutes before bedtime. She discovered how meaningful connections can shift behaviour, reduce overwhelm, and bring more joy into the home.
You’ll also learn why doing nothing for 10 minutes with your child is one of the most productive things you can do — no instructions, no multitasking, just being present.
By focusing on connection over perfection, you’ll see more calm, more cooperation, and more closeness in your family life. Jen reminds us: “Connection is why we’re here — it’s what gives purpose and meaning to our lives.”
Tune in to learn how just 30 minutes a day can change everything — for you and your child.
