The end of the school year and the official start of
summer both happen in June. What better time is there
for a kid. Three months away from the daily rigors of
tests and quizzes, school lunches, waking up early,
and a structured schedule. Three months of sleeping
in, playing whenever they want, and reading, watching
TV and snacking on their own schedule.

inactivity their brain is not doing much of anything.
This makes it all that much harder to transition back
into school each September. And we've all been there,
either ourselves or through watching a child
transition into school. The first month back at
school is when many children struggle to get their
brains accustomed to learning and retaining new

of punishment.
