Summer is coming!! While there is great excitement about time off from school, vacations, and swimming, summer can also bring new challenges into families. The school year routine is off, schedules are often changing, sibling conflict is more prevalent, and increased time at home means more vigilance for parents to instill healthy habits.

Parents and Students will gain:

  • A process for summer schedules that provides predictability and fits your family

  • An understanding of the need for balance between tasks, having fun, relaxation, relationships

  • A plan for consequences that promote healthy boundaries and structure

  • A “Summer Bucket List” for personal accomplishment and shared memories

Parents will gain parenting tools in one group while students gain skills in a separate intentionally engaging group. Parents and students will come together toward the end to share learning and create a mentally and relationally healthy Summer Plan!
