When parents announce that they want to “take a break” from lessons, what should the answer be? What exactly is the question? What does the parent want or need to take a break from? This episode explores possible answers, scenarios, and problems that accompany “taking a break”and offers up some solutions and ideas to consider.
The episode mentioned a previous podcast episode about 100 Things to Do in the Summer. Another podcast episode looks at the “summer daze”: The Summer Daze Challenge. If you are interested, here is the list of 100 Things to Do in the Summer Printable List.
