Last week I suggested that you don’t need to expect perfection when it comes to Bible Times with your kids, but –
Dad, if there are things you can d0 to make your Bible Times with your kids more distraction free, by all means do it*.
This may take some proactivity:
-Are there kids who need to go to the bathroom first?
– Are there young kids who could use a little children’s Bible to keep them occupied during your reading time?
– Do you allow the eating of snacks during Bible time? Have the kids get them first?
– Are there some kids who shouldn’t sit together?
– Are there other kinds of distractions you can prevent?
Then by all means, do so.
One other idea – we have a rule that if a child must get up to get something or do something they can only do so if there are no other children up already.
* My wife is afraid that I’m going to come off as someone who thinks he’s awesome because I talk like I’ve got everything figured out. Please know that I’m aware that I don’t follow my own advice here (or anywhere) nearly enough.

You have a regular Bible study with your children. That itself is awesome!
