Reading, Outdoor Activities, And Free Play - Happy And Healthy Summer Fun

Summer is a great time for kids to have fun, relax, and enjoy themselves. However, it is important to ensure that they stay healthy and active during this time. 

Encouraging kids to engage in reading, outdoor activities, and free play can go a long way in keeping them happy and healthy all summer long. 

Reading

Reading is a great way for kids to improve their vocabulary, comprehension, and critical thinking skills. Encouraging kids to read during the summer can help maintain their academic progress and prevent the summer slide. 

Parents can take their kids to the local library or bookstore to choose books that interest them. They can also set up a reading challenge in which kids are rewarded for reading a certain number of books or pages. Additionally, parents can set aside time each day for family reading time, where everyone gathers together and reads their favorite books. (((Our Kids Summer Planner Includes A Reading Chart.)))

10 Steps To Eating More Sustainably As A Family

We all have to eat. Sometimes feeding a family, especially during tough financial times, and living a sustainable lifestyle can become challenging. Here are ten steps to get you started. 

Join a Local Farm CSA

One of the easiest ways to start eating more sustainably is by joining a local farm CSA. CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture, which is a system in which people can buy a share of a farm's harvest. By joining a CSA, you are supporting a local farm and receiving fresh, seasonal produce.

Many CSAs offer different share sizes and delivery options. Some will deliver right to your doorstep, while others require you to pick up your share at a designated location. While joining a CSA may require some upfront costs, it can save you money in the long run by reducing your grocery bills and supporting local agriculture.

Additionally, by joining a CSA, you can learn more about where your food comes from and how it's produced. This can help you make more informed decisions about your food choices and encourage you to try new recipes.

My Observations Of Teenagers From Working In A Doctors Office For 30 Years.

Just some random thoughts I thought I'd share from many years of observation while working in a doctor's office.

I am always observing in the office how interesting it is to me to watch when a parent comes in with their teenager for their doctor's appointment. 

I have noticed different parenting lifestyles that they choose to use.

Some come to the window with their teenager and make them check in.

What's your name? What's your date of birth? What kind of insurance do you have? 

Some teenagers look scared to death, and some smile and can answer all the questions themselves. Some parents interrupt their teenagers even though they know the answers.

It's fascinating to witness. 

I Love You

 

Never assume your children know how much you love them. They need to hear those important words. "I Love You." Say it often.

Reason With Your Children When They Are In A Calm State

 

When children are angry, emotional, or having a meltdown, they're not in the best state of mind to be able to understand a teaching lesson. Sometimes they barely hear you in their unhinged state.

Stay calm, and try not to personalize your child's behavior. We know this isn't always easy. 😟 But as you try your hardest to stay present with yourself and your child, you'll be in a better state of mind to help alleviate any emotional outbursts from yourself that will aggravate the situation.

Little Souls ~ A Quantum Parenting Tip

 

Children are little sponges. They absorb energy and mimic behaviors they learn from those around them and the shows they watch.

Are you demonstrating healthy behaviors?

Do you talk to yourself out loud? I know we do. 😂 Be sure to stay aware of negative self-talk.

Speak kind words to yourself and others out loud. Years ago we posted this super fun video of Jessica saying her affirmations in the mirror. If you haven't watched get, gather your kids and talk a look!

Kindness goes a long way especially when your children are watching.
