Many parents wonder how they will fill the days of summer when their kids finish school for the holidays. Some of us are concerned about their brains going idle and not all of us have the time or money to go on family vacations or put the kids in summer camps.
Dr. Andie Weiner suggests turning the summertime blues into a positive experience. She has tips and tools to keep kids occupied and learning, build relationships in and out of the home, how technology impacts kids these days, and how to make the summer holidays work for your family rather than against you.
Dr. Andie is the author of More than saying I love you: 4 Powerful Steps that Help Children Love Themselves and sits on the board for children’s online safety organization Kiwi Commons. Her multiple careers as a child therapist, psycho-educational specialist, mother, grandmother and lecturer has enabled her to develop a wealth of experience and insight on how social and emotional skills can create lifelong benefits.
