Goodbye Routines, Hello Summertime 🌞

We spend so much time planning and preparing for our kids to have an enjoyable break. However, sometimes when we take on the entire process we forget that they might be feeling a little lost in the shuffle too. Over the summer things seem to change weekly-with different camps, visitors, trips, and even parents having different work schedules.

Some tips for helping the summer routines run smoothly...

*Take a look at the calendar together. Set aside a day where you can walk through expected routines for that week.

*Include your child in the process. Sit down together to make new routine "to-do lists."

*Check the calendar daily. Review together what your day will look like so that your child feels some control.

*Bedtime might be later. Talk through what the expectation looks like now.

*Take everything one step at a time. Don't talk about the whole month-talk about each week, or even day.
