SUMMER SURVIVAL GUIDE
Read through our summer survival guide for tips to help keep your kids engaged and feel like you’re creating an educational and fun summer experience for your kids!
CREATE A ROUTINE
Throughout the school year, you create a routine with your children. While they might not be in school, create a routine that will give them the same structure. What are some activities they can do each day?
For example, you could challenge them to read a certain number of books during the summer and allot time each day for them to read. You can even check your local library to see if they’re running any summer reading programs.
BE FLEXIBLE
When something goes wrong, or you have to cancel your plans because someone is sick or having a bad day, just remember to be willing to adapt and change your plans. Additionally, if you plan out every second of your child’s summer, that schedule can get in the way of fun. Leave some time to be spontaneous and surprise your kids with an unplanned, fun-filled day.
WORK TOGETHER
To keep your children engaged, and make sure they enjoy their summer activities, brainstorm with them. Ask them to set their own goals for this summer. Is there an academic subject they want to work on this summer? Are there certain books they want to read? When your children are involved with making those choices, they are also held accountable for working towards those goals.
FIND A SUMMER CAMP
If you can, find a summer camp that provides them a great way to interact with their peers while also expanding their academic opportunities.
At Discovery Tree Academy in Springville and Payson, we are still offering our summer camp. Contact us to enroll your child today and learn more about the health precautions we are taking to keep your children safe and protected.
