Do you find the transition into summer to be really stressful to manage? You're not alone! The first few weeks of summer can often feel emotionally bumpy and chaotic to navigate for both parents and kids. Risa Williams talks to Lori Oberbroeckling about managing the start of summer break in a less stressful way so that you can find your fun as a family again.

They discuss:

-Why transitioning into summer can often feel so challenging for kids and parents 

-How kids tend to need some structure and some free time and how to find a balance that works 

-Why we need to bring our stress down before making plans so we don't wind up "defaulting" to things that didn't work last year

-How taking stock of what worked (and didn't) last year is important to review

-How making summer checklists can help everyone figure out a better balance between activities and free time

Risa will be speaking on June 16th at Lori's Supermom Summer Camp - a virtual productivity workshop for parents! Get your free ticket at this link, or by visiting https://www.risawilliams.com/writingmedia.
