Summer is not just a two-month countdown to sending the kids back to school. You only get 18 summers total with your “babies,” and half of those will be stolen away or occupied by growing pains, such as choosing fun with friends over fun with family, and the inevitable “I’m getting too old for this stuff” attitudes that arrive younger and younger these days.
Here are my “Six Summer Tips” for parents. Just some ways to enjoy the time with your kids, while sustaining their learning over the summer break. Try a few, and I’m betting the time will pass easier.
Have a great summer. Remember…August will be here before you know it!
