Summer may feel like a break from routines, but it’s also the perfect time to lay the groundwork for a smoother, more successful school year ahead. Without the pressure of busy mornings, after-school activities, and homework, summer is a more relaxed time to work on non-academic success skills. By putting a few intentional habits in place now, your child can return to school in the fall feeling confident, prepared, and ready to thrive.

You know your child has worked hard this year and deserves a couple of carefree months, but you probably also worry that too much time away from learning can lead to the dreaded “summer slide”—especially in reading and math.
