SURVIVING THE END OF SUMMER WITH “BORED” KIDS We all think summer sounds fantastic until boom, it’s here. The excitement goes down quite frankly because Kids all day long and let’s be real this is Texas and it’s HOT. But, the truth is, summer is quick, and I do want to enjoy it (as much as one can). June was such a crazy month full of summer camps and such … Now kids are getting to the “I’m Bored” stage of summer. Trying to find a balance between all day screen time and surviving this Texas heat can be tricky but I'm here to help.
So, I’ve come up with some tips to survive the rest of the summer with your kids. Now this list isn’t here to make you feel guilty for not planning the perfect summer for your kids, but it’s to help you enjoy it.
HAVE PAJAMA DAYS WITH ZERO GUILT This is key to enjoying summer. You need to de-stress. The kids need to de-stress. The school year will be here before you know it. The routines and early bedtime and homework stresses will come barreling back to you with a vengeance. Enjoy these last few weeks by having pajama days. Read books, watch movies and just be a sloth creature. But the key is to feel ZERO guilt. You’re re-charging for what’s to come in the fall. 32
