4 Ways to Help Your Kids Thrive This Summer

Have fun together.

For the past couple of years, we have focused on doing one fun activity a day. This does not mean the rest of our day is filled with nothing, we just commit to one intentional, fun activity that we do together. Sometimes it is blowing bubbles or going on a nature hunt. We love doing a variety of fun activities and have realized that it really does not matter what you do, as long as you are together.

Action Step: Commit to carving out time for one simple activity a day. If you need ideas, check out the At-Home Summer Camp!

Play in your backyard. 

This summer things may look different depending on where you live. Honestly, we spend a lot of regular summers at home, but we do still love to go to parks. If you are at home this summer, focus on what fun you can have in your own backyard. Invest in some good games for the yard or even a little pool. 

Action Step: Look at your own backyard and determine how you can have fun as a family.

Make time for reading. 

Typically, we sign up for the summer reading program at the library. This summer, things may look different, but you can still have reading time at home! 

Action Step: Determine when you will read as a family! Check out the summer reading bingo for yourself!
