Parenting: The Challenge

Summer is on it’s way which means school is out, what do you do with the kids? If you’re on a tight budget it can be even more difficult to plan fun and educational things for your kids to do. If summer camp is not on the horizon there are other opportunities. The library is a great resource and their events are free. Check out your local library for story time, or guests events that may be happening. Take them to a toy store to play with the demo toys that are available. Younger children can ride free on buses, ferries or trains, travel to a different location to check out a new environment. May cities have a variety of events that are going on at museums, farmer’s markets and parks. Check out your local rec center and look online for events that may be happening in your neighborhood.
