[TurnAround Thursday] The Kids Are Home! Yayyyyyy!?

Hey there, Difference Maker!

It’s finally summer and the kids are out of school, leaving adults who love, live and work with kids, the not-so-glamorous task of trying to keep them entertained and behaving.  You’ve already tried the usual tactics of bribing them with treats and threatening them with punishments, but let’s face it—the novelty of those things has worn off.  So what can you do to make sure the kids in your care stay in line and don’t spiral into a FOMO-induced frenzy?

Well, the quickest and fastest way to get your kids to behave is to start with a good dose of laughter. Studies have shown that laughter is a powerful tool in getting kids to listen and behave. So don’t be afraid to let loose and have a little fun with your kids. Take turns telling jokes, play improv games, and create silly stories together. Not only will it put your kids in a better mood, but it will also help to build a stronger bond between you.

Another great way to keep your kids in check is to encourage them to be creative. Sure, it’s tempting to plop them in front of a screen and let them watch their favorite shows, but that’s not going to do much to help them behave. Instead, come up with creative activities that will help keep them engaged and focused, such as building forts, making crafts, or playing dress-up. Anything that allows them to use their imaginations and express themselves is a win-win.

Finally, be sure to make time for yourself. It can be easy to get caught up in the chaos of trying to keep your kids in line, but it’s important to take a step back and remember to take care of yourself. Make sure to carve out some time each day to do something that makes you happy and helps you relax. Whether it’s reading a book, taking a walk, or listening to music, make sure you make time for yourself.

So who’s ready to tackle the summer months with a new game plan? With a combination of laughter, creativity, and self-care, you’ll be able to confidently keep your kids in line—without fear of missing out!
