It’s difficult to comprehend that the school year is so close to being completed!! Yet - if we look at our children - really look and compare them to the child they were in September, we will find they are very different physically, academically, emotionally, and socially. The growing and developing of our children marches on with time - no stopping it or putting it on “pause”. Our only option is to carefully monitor and continuously guide them toward good choices. With summer vacation fast approaching, this monitoring and guiding can become increasingly difficult as many of our children spend more time unsupervised while parents are at work.
    Some helpful hints for summertime:
      1. Keep your child busy - have planned activities and events.
      2. Make and keep “check-in” times with children throughout the day.
      3. Take time to eat meals together.
      4. Speak with parents before allowing your child to go to their house. Make sure the parent knows your telephone number(s).
      5. Finally, talk to them, discuss and debate important issues, and tell them that you love them.
    ENJOY THE SUMMER!!
