Our discussion encompasses a wide range of challenges and opportunities for kids of all ages, providing helpful advice and suggestions to make the most out of the summer break.
We delve into the importance of bridging the academic gap during the holiday period, proposing solutions such as workbooks to keep kids' minds active and engaged.
Travel is also a hot topic. We explore the benefits of family trips, from enriching museum weekends to adventurous outings to National Parks, and discuss how these experiences can provide both education and bonding opportunities.
We also highlight various summer camps, including coding programs at the YMCA and numerous sports camps, as great ways for kids to pick up new skills and socialize.
For the creatives in the family, we touch on potential gardening projects, art and painting activities, and music lessons. We also discuss the use of platforms like Khan Academy and Udemy for learning new languages and picking up other skills.
Finally, we address older kids aged 13-19, discussing the potential for internships, library work, and volunteering opportunities at nonprofits, pantries, and soup kitchens. We give a special mention to Junior Achievement (JA) and Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE) programs that provide invaluable work experience and entrepreneurial skills.
