[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids make a bucket list; read; and play outside. Minimize the number of structured activities, so they exercise their executive functions. [/quote] I do like the bucket list. That's what we did the last 2 summers. It was nice. They put down everything they really wanted to do in the summer, and I put down some of my goals for them (like swimming lessons) and we included pretty much all of it. This year we haven't really done that yet. I guess because this summer I feel like I'm struggling with the shapelessness of each day, and wanting to find a way to work in my own goals for myself as well (like exercise and education and job-hunt networking). As I type this though, I realized that I should just be including my own goals in the bucket list and then working on figuring out the days from there. Also, they are getting to an age at which they want to fill any free time by being on the computer, and I want to create some useful limits on that.[/quote]
