Supporting Your Child
SUMMER TIPS
Read! Read! Read! Encourage children to participate in the summer reading challenge (PreK-5th). Visit the library.
Maintain a schedule. Keep bedtime/mealtime routines. Post weekly, monthly schedules with activities with pictures for younger kids.
Limit screen time. Kids often gravitate to a screen, but encourage time outside with family and friends…. bike, hike, go to a park, play in the sun.
Eat smart. Keep lots of fruits and veges on hand…. apples and peanut butter, carrots and ranch, crackers and hummus, watermelon processed in a blender and frozen in popsicle form, non-sugary drinks.
Plan some family memories. This doesn’t have to be costly…decorate cupcakes, karaoke, read the book and then watch the movie, bake, plant flowers, do artwork or crafts.
Plan for a time of connection with each child every day.
