In this solo episode, Katie discusses how busy the summer can get and ways that we should try and be intentional with our summer plans/schedules.
Why do we always feel the need to jam pack our summers?
Summer camp for the kids, play dates, etc. the list goes on and on...we see an empty spot on the calendar and think what can I plan for that day?
If your schedule or calendar feels overwhelming, that most likely means that you and your family will feel overwhelmed through the summer too! To help be more intentional this summer- I have put together some strategies to help with your summer plans this year!
Some research based strategies have shown the importance of Finding your why 3) Prioritizing joy and rest 4) Balancing Outdoor Time & Screen Time.
Some questions to ask yourself:
What do my kids & family need this summer?
How do my kids & family want to feel this summer?
Think about your and your family needs and let that answer be your guide!
Make a summer bucket list but put a limit to the amount of items that each person puts on the list. Make it realistic and achievable. Involve the kids in making the list!Make room for slow morningsAllow at least one slow week where you have nothing planned. No where to be at no set time- I highly recommend it! It is very freeing and such a good way to rest your mind and allow your kids to have a break from the constant structure. Keep at least one day a week with nothing planned.Whenever plans or invites come up, always go back to what does your family need this summer?Maintain a flexible mindset - enjoy the moments and live in the presentTry journaling! Have your kids create a journal that they write or draw in regularly throughout the summer. At the end of the summer, they will have a memory book of their summer take aways. Outdoor time! Take indoor activities outside. Balance screen time and provide open ended materials such as blank paper, markers, crayons, paint, etc. leave them out to Incorporate reading time into your daily schedule
