25 Kid-Tested Games for Working Moms

It's 6pm and you have nothing left to give.

You choose:

• Your energy level
• How much mess you can handle

We choose the game. Open the book, find your row, play.

How not to show up

You might be grumpy, tired, bored, sick, stressed, or annoyed. That's absolutely fine. There are no dos — but there are some don'ts:

✗ Don't try to be the cool mom

✗ Don't try to impress with your smartness

✗ Don't try to convince them the games are great fun

✗ Don't show up too happy, too relaxed, or too excited

✗ Don't — and I mean DO NOT — promise "this is going to happen every night from now on." That's just signing up for another guilt trip.

What's inside

✓ 25 kid-tested games across five categories — Reset, Lift, Imagine, Create, Challenge

✓ The Tonight's Game grid, so you never have to decide

✓ Every game fully scripted — with fallback lines for when your child freezes

✓ 5 bonus screen games, a fridge game tracker, and printable game boards

✓ 20 minutes a night. No prep. No guilt.

Who it's for

Working moms with kids 6–12 who have tried parenting books before and found they asked for energy they didn't have.

You never have to think, plan, or improvise.

You don't have to be perfect — just present.
