What's Up for the Summer????

   It's the end of May and for many parts of the country that means: School's Out!!!!! So what's next? Maybe sleeping a little later, planning a vacation, or just being with friends more. Hopefully it means more time outside and getting the kids more active. Not organized activities, but just active. 

   I've recently learned of some startling statistics that reveal the true state of condition among our children. Did you know that American children average between 6.5 and 7.5 hours of TV and/ or video games a day?!?! Did you know that 50% of our children have a television in their own bedrooms? WHY? 

   Give your child some great summer experiences. Spend time watching clouds, introduce them to mud, make them stay outside several hours a day, if not for most of the day, spend less money on lessons and more time creating imaginative play opportunities. Our children need to be more physically active and given time and space to just be kids. 

   Give me your comments on how you're spending the summer with your kids.
