As May winds down, the end of school is in sight. Lots to plan for the summer if camps and activities have not been organized already. Keeping children focused for school can be challenging. Clothes are an issue as the warm and cool days make for interesting combinations. Kids want to wear shorts even if it is cooler. Then of course the Spring bugs. Ticks are an issue so how to stay safe through the next months. And the regular mosquitoes and black flies! So with the fun and longer days come those areas of planning. Children want to stay up longer so maybe quiet bed time to read a book. Yes read, take away any electronics close to bedtime. No gadgets in bed. So parents set an example by doing the same. No electronics in your beds too!! So with school concerts, barbecues, sports team banquests, dance recitals and even some June birthdays and anniversaries it can be as busy as Christmas. The good news is summer can be as relaxing as one wants. Lots of lessons and sports or time to slow down! Of course grandparents can take on some duties and little day trips with the kids too.
