Sorry it has been a month since my last posting - wow time has flown by....this is the time that many parents are getting very anxious about summer months coming and the kids will have nothing to do...It is a time that yes, your children's schedules will change for sure - however, it is also a time when even the simplest of activities can be fun for a young child. I think sometimes parents feel as though they have to have a "grand plan" for each day and want to be sure they entertain their children. However, we would say to feel free and take the pressure off of yourselves!! Summer is a great time to just enjoy yourselves, enjoy your children and enjoy the fact that you do not have to maintain a schedule. Even letting your children play with sidewalk chalk, paint your fence with water, water the plants, look at storybooks under a tree, etc. are wonderful summer experiences. Do not feel guilty if you are not sending your children to a camp or a summer program. Being home and just enriching your children with the most simplest of things is beneficial.....think of the days when we were younger and we all played outside every day of the week - and sometimes with nothing except our imaginations - it is perfectly fine and you are still wonderful parents for doing so! If you feel as though you would like ideas of what you can do for your children, please check back on our site. I am going to generate a list of ideas from our staff and I will then post it online. In the mean time PLEASE do not feel guilty as parents if you do not have a plan or a camp to send your children to !!
