 to remember is that you don't have to do something new and wonderful every single day to keep them interested. Kids also enjoy regularity. Dr. Potter says take things week by week and go with the flow. She says a strict schedule during summer can be tough and it's okay to say no to things if you're feeling overwhelmed. For example, skip a birthday party or barbecue if needed. It's important to take time for yourself so you can recharge and don't be afraid to ask for help.
