Having A Summer With Purpose
Already feeling the idleness of summer? Take hold of your summer and lead your children into a wonderful world of wonder.
Ask yourself, what are some of the things you enjoy about summer? Why not let your children sharing those things with you? I love to swim. So, I take my littles swimming a lot throughout the summer. It is one of those things I find great joy in and so I’m able to pass that along to my children. They get to see me in a light of appreciation & excitement.
Plan their day. It doesn’t need to be an intense planning session. Perhaps after you do the dishes, you can all sit down and play a card game together. After that, you might want to take a bike ride together. Give them some free time, but watch for those character struggles and head them off at the pass with a fun snack (even better, a snack of their making!) Stay engaged. This can lead to peace of mind and keep your kids from getting stuck all day at the tv/computer.
