De-Stress Your Summer

With the Summer Holidays only just beginning, most parents have to find fun kids summer activities to keep them happily occupied.

Many of us start out with the best of intentions, yet having the kids around the house all day long can wear our patience and their interest thin.

Here are some stress busters to help you through the Summer Holidays:

  • Team Up: Talk to other parents in your neighborhood or to close friends. Take turns at hosting activities for the kids; such as a backyard obstacle course; tug of war; artists' gallery etc. This will free up some of your time when others host and keep you more involved when it is your turn.

  • Me-Time:Don't feel guilty about taking some Me-Time for yourself everyday. Kids are more comfortable when they have a routine. Even during the holidays, try to inject some form of routine. For example, Arts and Crafts Time; Story Time; Mommy Me-Time; Outdoor Games Time.

  • Weekend Specials:Schedule outdoor activities such as hikes, camping or picnics over the weekend. If the kids have something to look forward to, they are less likely to create chaos during the week.

  • Think Differently: Sometimes all it takes to bring down your stress level, is to think differently. Instead of looking at the kids summer activities as a disruption of your regular routine; see it as an opportunity to spend more time with them. Kids grow fast and soon they will spend more time with friends than with you. Gather as many precious memories as you can while they still look forward to spending time with you.
