This summer break has a slightly surreal quality to it, the long weeks stretching ahead at a time when many of us have already used up so many of our resources. Behind the scenes at Families, we've been working hard to ensure that this issue is packed with inspiration and ideas to support parents during this strange and difficult time. You'll find suggestions for local activities, days out, holidays and adventures, as well as tons of great learning and digital resources to keep you and yours occupied, whatever the weather. There are great competitions to enter (12 foot trampoline, anyone?), and be sure to take the two seconds to subscribe so that every issue of Families works its way direct to your inbox, totally free of charge
