What ages are your children? Mine are 5, 7, 9, 11. We do LDtR as a group. I very much stick to the small bit written for each lesson. By times I ask for a narration (of a poem/story). By times I ask for each girl to tell me how she can implement something in her life. But I keep the whole thing very short.
Later in the day, as life happens I try to point back to what we read. And that’s all I do with it.
