Some ideas to create a great summer!
1. Summer Goals
Have your kids make a list of things they would like to do by the end of the summer. Help them think in many different categories. Books, projects, places, things to learn, even projects around the house such as learning to cook or do laundry. Make sure they are fun and not just things to avoid.
Break goals and projects down into smaller milestones to achieve in week by week, with step-by-step plans to create success. This also creates positive anticipation and happier kids.
In addition to individual goals, create some family goals and perhaps even a community project to participate in. Make a chart for the whole family, where everyone can log their goal progress and encourage each other as the days go by. [Read more…] about Successful Summer Plans
