It's summer time once again!

It's Summer time once again!

     As the end of school year approaches, every parent has the same question: " what am I going to keep my child occupied this summer?" 

This ten weeks of vacation for kids will be a great opportunity for them to enhance their skills and talent be it in music, arts, baking, sports, photography, and outdoor exposures. 

A lot of schools and other private groups are offering summer workshops. It usually starts on April until May. 

      For my little boys I enrolled them to vacation bible school in our church, basic arts, introduction of musical instruments, dancing and swimming. My eldest son will join the McDonald's kiddie crew for 5 sessions. They will have 2 beaches to visit.

      This is one way of introducing to our little tykes that summer must be exciting and full of fun. Take time to discuss your options with your children. Plan it out well their schedule of activities so that it will not exhaust them. Remember summer is for relaxing and enjoying. Let us not forget also that this is the time to be with our family at home building memories together.  After all, it is summer.

Maintain a balance between activities with groups and time with family.

Here are the list that you can do with your children:

-search for kids craft from the Internet

-bake in your own kitchen

-play game boards

-invite over friends to play with them

-jog and bike around the village

-visit your local library and read a book

-bring your kiddo to a coffee shop with their favorite books or magazines

-tag him or her along when you do errands like grocery

-do gardening

-put up an inflatable pool in the backyard 

-teach your kids the old fashion games during your time like "tumba lata", "piko", etc.

-look for a nice video which you can have a movie marathon with popcorn on the side

-dress them up and take a photo and post it in FB.

May this summer will create fond memories for our little children.
