Intentional Summer: Quality Time with Your Child

Summer break is a perfect opportunity to slow down and reconnect with your child without the hustle and bustle of school schedules and homework. Start by creating a flexible summer plan that includes both fun and learning. Visit your local library for summer reading programs, explore nearby museums or parks, or plan themed days at home with arts, science experiments, or cooking projects. One great way to bond and keep their minds active is to create a summer reading list together. Let your child choose books 📚 that excite them, and mix in a few titles you can read and discuss as a family.

Spending time outdoors is essential during the summer months. Whether it’s taking a nature walk, riding bikes, 🚲 or setting up a backyard obstacle course, getting outside supports your child’s physical health and emotional well-being. If you’re working or busy during the day, consider enrolling your child in a local camp 🏕️ or summer program that matches their interests—sports, dance, STEM, or art. These programs not only keep them engaged but also help them build social skills and confidence.

Don’t forget to build in time for connection and conversation. Make family meals a regular part of your summer routine, schedule one-on-one time with each child, and give them space to share what’s on their minds. These moments build trust and strengthen your relationship. Summer is more than just a break from school—it’s a chance to bond, create lasting memories, and help your child thrive in ways that school-year routines may not allow.

I’d love to hear how your summer plans are going. Tell me what’s working?
