Today’s Parenting Tip:

DECIDE:   New beginnings can be fun.

Practice:   Today, have a great first-day-of-summer celebration with children you care about.

If it can’t be an all day event, take a short amount of time and let everyone know that this time is special – just for having fun together. No cell phones. No computer devices.

Let your kids know how much fun you are having with them. Let them know you plan to have more times like this through the summer.

Put something up in the house to remind everybody of the fun you all had together (picture, decoration, etc.).

Today’s Parenting Tip was inspired by our featured picture book, IGGY PECK, ARCHITECT.  Read the book to a child in your life each day as a reminder of what you are deciding and practicing that day.

Come back each day for another good parenting decision and how to practice it. (Each day’s activity will also be posted on the Daily Parenting Tips page for easy access.)
