Super Summer Requires Plan
School’s almost out for summer. Now what? Either you’re still going to work or you’ll be at your home with your kids all day. You need something for them to do so they don’t drive you insane with the, “We’re bored!” statement. Who can blame them? They’ve been cooped up in a school all year. Their every move & thought directed. Mix it up with downtime & scheduled fun time.
Here are some ideas to keep them busy, freshen their minds, build memories & save your sanity.

Summer is the time to try new things, learn new skills & discover more about likes & dislikes. Don’t let another summer get shipwrecked on the isle of TV & missed opportunities. Offer your kids new experiences. You just might learn something new about them.
