Are You Dreading Summer?

Have you thought about how you are going to entertain your kids for 2 1/2 months? We can help! With the school year quickly ending and schedule changing completely, we want to help reduce stress in your home. Summer is a perfect opportunity to strengthen your relationship with your own child. It provides the opportunity for you to guide your child through summer activities and back-yard games. Each week this summer, we will be highlighting a different activity that you can do with your child. We hope you can get outside and enjoy your summer! Here are a few ideas to kick-start your summer:
