Think about how your kids' time is managed during the school year. You want them to remember this time in the same way we remember our own childhood summers: as an all-too-short couple of months free from the tedious routines of school. And, like any parent, you feel the pressure to make sure they don't spend the summer in front of the TV or the computer, and that they don't fall behind all the other kids from school who are attending physics camp and attacking their summer required reading list with gusto.Īnd yet, you know that summertime is kid time.

To you, the summer stretches ahead like an ocean of emptiness that it is your responsibility to fill. To them the summer seems an endlessly delicious time of sprinklers and popsicles, butterflies, bike rides, and ball games, and, most important, no set bed time.

How do you make sure free time doesn't turn into wasted time? Try Camp Mom! But not yours they're mostly home with you.
