Last time, I talked about the importance of sleep, staying positive, and screen time, among other things. Remember, for more information on each of the tips, you can download the entire booklet for FREE from my blog
Tips, cont.
Tip #6: Monitor your teens. Don’t fall into the idea that because they can legally stay home alone they should be unsupervised all summer. Check out the research in the booklet.
Tip #7: What are we gonna do? Boredom has its benefits. Find out what they are here and avoid rescuing your child when you could help them develop needed skills.
Tip #8: Being Available. Work on sitting down and being available when your child comes in the room. Even if it’s for a few minutes, the rewards can be priceless.
Tip #9: Play together. Find things you all enjoy doing as a family and invest in them.
Tip #10: But it went so fast…..Consider an end of summer scrap book activity with the whole family to hang on to favorite memories.
So that’s it! Ten tips to help you make the most of the rest of the summer. Enjoy!
