8. If you're up early, it doesn't mean that I have to be. You know where the cereal is.
of the next few months, I know that all those additional hours I'll be spending with my kids also means I'll be dealing with a lot more meltdowns, annoying requests, and general rowdiness. My solution: impose a set of Summer rules that will help my kids stay productive and help me stay sane. While
is definitely on the list, it's not the only activity or behavior that needs governing this Summer. Here are the eight rules I'm imposing on my kids this Summer and saying a prayer that they actually follow.Summer means we no longer have to be up and out the door before 8 a.m., which also has me hoping I can stop with the constant"brush your teeth" and"put on your shoes" requests. Instead, I'm making a chart of morning activities my kids need to do on their own .
and putting their dishes in the sink. Giving them more independence will excite them and hopefully let me relax a little more.For my 7-year-old, that means reading independently and logging into her school's online Summer math program. For my son, it means reading with me. And for both of them, it means doing creative art projects, tackling puzzles, and using their imaginations to play together and with friends .
