When school ends, the built-in rhythm of the day disappears, and suddenly the season can start to feel like one long negotiation over boredom, screens, work, childcare, and everyone’s expectations. Michelle offers a more practical way to think about it, helping parents create enough predictability to calm the chaos without over-managing every moment.This conversation is a reminder that summer does not have to be something families simply survive. With clear expectations, age-appropriate responsibility, and a willingness to let kids practice solving some of their own problems, summer can become a season where the whole family feels more capable. Listeners will walk away with practical language, steadier boundaries, and a more peaceful way to make summer feel intentional without trying to control every minute.What You’ll Learn:How to create summer structure without over-scheduling every minuteWhy boredom can help kids build creativity, independence, and problem-solving skillsWhy summer is a powerful time to teach life skills like cooking, planning, and responsibilityFor more from Michelle, check out these links:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michelle-gambs-710437176 Website: https://www.michellegambs.com/ Get Michelle’s book Stay Away from Option D...and You Will Be a Perfect Parent: A Simple Philosophy for Parenting.
