Tips: What are you doing this summer?

Summer is right around the corner which is so odd because I feel like there has been no spring.

That being said summer seems to fly by for everyone. A number of holidays are throughout the summer, concerts, camps, vacations, BBQ’s, parties, etc. Summer is a happening time!

Here are a couple of tips to help you get the most out of your summer and your children’s summer:

-Figure out what activities, trips, events, etc. are the most important ones and schedule those first. It could be a summer camp for the kids or a family vacation. Then look at the calendar and make a bucket list of other things that you would like to accomplish. Remember summer only has 8 weekends typically.

-Stay active with the weather. Summer is always such a beautiful time of year for great weather. Take advantage of it and get outside for activities.

-Diversify. I hear way too often that kids are going to one kind of camp or specializing in one thing over the summer. I recommend that they play as many different sports and activities while developing. It will allow them to learn new movements, games and body awareness. I do not recommend specializing in one sport until halfway through high school.

-Take advantage of the grill. Use the grill for beef, chicken, fish, and vegetables. In my opinion there is nothing better then getting food right from the grill.
