2. Oh, the glorious days of summer,
with balmy mornings perfect for
biking down to the park, hot
afternoons spent cooling off by the
pool and idyllic evenings of
barbecues and catching fireflies.

3. At least, that’s how we parents may
like to think of summer.

4. Unfortunately, today’s kids are more
likely to be found on the couch
glued to various electronic devices
than out and about in the sunshine.

5. Take a few simple steps this
year to make sure your
children have a summer that’s
both fun and meaningful.

6. Spend Time Together

7. In all the hustle and bustle and multi-tasking of
modern life, it’s easy to put off just hanging out with
the kids in favor of “getting everything done”.

8. Remember, they won’t be little forever; take a step
back and spend a day or an afternoon as a family,
whether locally or on a short day trip, letting your kids
share in the decision of where to go.

9. Take off for a relaxing day at the
beach complete with sand castle
building, body surfing and
everyone’s favorite picnic foods.

10. Meander through a local museum, take in an
amusement park, meet the denizens of the local
zoo or set off on a kid-friendly hike.

11. It doesn’t have to be an all-day affair; even
taking a few hours with your youngster each
day to run through the sprinkler, draw chalk
pictures on the driveway or lie on a blanket
after dinner and look at the stars can make all
the difference in your child’s summer.

12. Sleepaway Camp

13. Your kids may be clamoring to finally go to overnight
summer camp.

14. Stories from friends and siblings often inspire that
big step from summer in the neighborhood to the
exotic excitement of spending whole weeks …

15. … with other kids – and no parents – in a lakeside
wilderness where hiking, swimming and campfire
shenanigans rule.

16. Take a look at some camps with your child and let
them get started on the fine summer tradition of
sleepaway camp.

17. Summertime
Reading

18. There’s a reason summer
reading programs have
endured for so long: They
really do get kids excited
about reading.

19. Sign your youngsters up at
the local library or take a
look at the reading list
they’ve brought home at
the end of school.

20. Kids’ literature has been
booming in recent years, with
loads of adults now addicted
to young adult books.

21. Just take a look at recent
movies; many are adapted
from teen best sellers.

22. Library reading programs feature exciting activities,
prizes and a chance to get together with friends and
classmates during the summer.

23. Read a few of the books yourself and talk with your kids
about the characters and plots.

24. Nurture A Love Of Nature

25. There may be a few more bugs
about, but summer is definitely an
amazing time to be outside.

26. Go for a nature hike with your
youngsters and have fun
identifying animal tracks, flowers
and wildlife.

27. Local nature centers will be sure to
have guided hikes and many
feature organized summer camps
and activities.

28. Zoos are always a popular option,
and many happy memories are
made while spending hours in the
reptile house or watching the
monkeys play.

29. Immortalize Your
Memories

30. At the end of summer, collect
all the photos and create a
summer album full of
everyone’s favorite memories.

31. You can make it yourself or
create a cool photo book on
one of the on-line services like
Shutterfly.com.

32. From delights to disasters,
each year’s summer album will
become a treasured part of
your family’s history.

33. After, as time passes you'll find
some of the most magical
words your child will say are
"remember when we...."
