Establishing a Summer Routine
Let's Do This
When school ends, it can take time for young people (and adults!) to adjust to a new daily rhythm. Without a set school schedule, some kids may feel unstructured or even overwhelmed by all the free time.
You can help the young people in your life ease into this transition by creating a flexible routine for the summer months. Talk with them about what a good day might look like—then write it down together. A loose schedule can support their independence while also helping them manage time in a healthy way.
Stay Inspired
