Enjoy the Last Few Weeks of Summer Vacation

August is here already! It's that time of the year when television commercials are all about returning to school. Enjoy the these last precious weeks with some fun summer playtime. Remember regular playtime is vital for everyone, including YOU!

Get in touch with your own playfulness. Kids really do model what they see. Create a bucket list of fun activities and games the kids would like to do before summer ends. Arrange low-key times with friends and family. This may mean turning down some invitations and setting aside an evening as family night. Make sure kids have regular opportunities to just hang out with family and friends. Eat dinner outside every night!  Make sure kids also have total down time for lying in the grass looking at the sky or sitting on the sidewalk drawing pictures with chalk.
Why not enjoy savor the last weeks of summer...
