What progress would you like your children to make this summer?
With a clear plan, the next 90 days can be filled with meaningful growth, exploration, creative play, and joyful family memories.
Here’s how to plan a rewarding summer for your family:
DEVELOPMENT GOALS
Reflect on your children’s intellectual, physical, spiritual, and relational growth. Visualize where you’d like them to be when school starts. Use our Summertime Development Chart to set goals and guide and track their progress.
INVOLVE YOUR KIDS
Ask your kids what they love to do, what they want to learn, and how they would like to develop further. Use the Ideas for Summer Fun and Learning worksheet to help you identify their interests, desires, and abilities.
ORGANIZE WEEKLY
Create a schedule of activities tailored to your children’s needs and interests. Use our resources, such as 246 Things to Do When Kids Say “I’m Bored”, the guide to Age-Appropriate Chores, Summer Chore Chart, and Weekly Planner forms to spur ideas, stay organized, and keep necessary supplies on hand.
STAY ADAPTABLE
Build in daily free time and remain flexible. Adjust plans as needed to accommodate kids’ changing interests and unforeseen circumstances. This structured yet flexible approach reduces stress, encourages creativity, and fosters fun summer days filled with positive experiences for your children.
