What are some good ways to keep kids active during the summer?
Many times parents will come in and ask questions about providing structure for the summer. Kids have structure all day long in classes and most times parents work full-time jobs so it is difficult to have that structure. As much as possible we want to have activities for kids whether it is camps that they can be involved in, limiting free activities or providing chores that they have to complete throughout the day. I think even having 30 minutes at a time where they have to read or do something academic could be important to help structure their summer.
