Just finished reading all the Harry Potter books to my kids

Started this project 8 months ago, reading one chapter a night before bed, and we just finished the last book. My kids were actually sad the series was over. Now my 8 year old wants to watch all the movies. The bedtime reading tradition we built is something I hope they remember forever. Even on nights I was exhausted, seeing them excited about the next chapter made it worth it.

That's the kind of project that matters. Getting through a whole series together is no joke, and the fact that they were sad it ended means you nailed it as a dad.

That's incredible, man. Eight months of consistency like that builds real memories. My kids still talk about books we read together years ago, so you're creating something that sticks with them way longer than any screen time ever would.

One chapter a night is the perfect pace. I tried doing something similar and it actually became my favorite part of the day too. Now you get to find the next series to tackle together.
