Do you see the elephant in the room?
If you are a parent of school-age children, I know you are having a fantastic summer, but I want to say I see you.
I SEE YOU:
• Maneuvering the schedules before, during, & after work
• Handling all the logistics
• Trying to figure out what to provide kids in terms of infrastructure
- Especially with middle and high school kids
- Attempting to provide growth and independence without seeming negligent or helicopter
→ I bring this up because every interaction I am having these days with parents of school-age kids is met with this guilt.
→ Summer is hard because society teaches us that we should pretend to be stay-at-home parents with all sorts of freedom and liberties to make summer the dreamy blast we see on social media.
→ So, I tell you to keep going and say you are doing a good job. Our kids will remember more good than we realize. Nothing is more important than time.
✅ So choosing to be present in the time we do have is the priority.
ENJOY the rest of your summer!
How are you making time to be present with your children this summer?
