Summer Plans

Summer breaks are easily one of the best parts of being a kid. All those days of no school, no homework, no getting up early, no structure — but it’s this lack of structure that sometimes has parents stressed.

Sure, we want our kids to relax and enjoy doing nothing, but we all know that after a few weeks of that, kids get punchy and trouble creeps in. Here, we aim for a good balance between busy and bored.

When you're making summer plans, make sure you plan some downtime.

We’ll go on a few trips and sign up for a few summer camps, but we also want to keep some weeks free for play dates and pool parties and park trips. But how do you make sure you’ve got that balance?

To make your own planner, grab a piece of lined or graph paper. Fold it into three columns. Unfold it, and write June, July, and August in the top of each column. Write the numbers 1-30 down the left side of June’s column, then write 1-31 down July’s and August’s. Highlight the weekends to give you a better idea of how everything’s laid out.
