With school out of session, summer time is the perfect time to escape our usual dayMagazine to-day lives and take a trip for some well-deserved rest and relaxation. But, before and after the trip, parents often find themselves wondering what to do with the kids. Should they be allowed to sleep in? Let them be lazy versus productive? Maybe even get a job? This month, Lisa A. Beach tackles these questions and more in her article “Engaging Kids’ Minds Without Losing Yours This Summer”. Magazine I would also like to say “Happy Father’s Day” to all the dads out there. If you need a little help figuring out what to get your dad or husband as a gift, be sure to read this month’s feature article by Meagan Ruffing “11 Fun & Free Do-It-Yourself Ideas for the Best Dad Ever.” And don’t worry if money is an issue when planning your gift, homeMagazine made gifts are always a little extra special. Most parents don’t want to have couch potatoes take over the living room in the summer. Luckily our freelance writer Tiffany Doerr Guerzon has picked “8 Great Outdoor Party Games” which are perfect whether you’re planning an outdoor party or just want to get your kids outside for some exercise. Magazine And, speaking of parties, sometimes your child just can’t choose what theme party to have, should it be Superman? Wonder Woman? Shopkins? Why not just have them express themselves artistically with an art-themed party? In this month’s party section, Heather Lee Leap details some art activities that will have kids engaged creatively from the party’s beginning to its end. Have you every wondered if you are an extrovert, introvert or ambivert? More so, do you know what category each of your kids fits best? Christina Katz explores the definitions of the three categories in her article “The Temperament-savvy Parent.” Christina also has some tips for parents of introverted kids to help them thrive as they grow up. Check out this month’s calendar to get information on the 46th Annual Texas Folklife Festival, Matilda The Musical, McNay’s Family Days and many other great events.
