Listen as we share some tactics on how we battle summertime boredom:

• Create a summer bucket list.
• Start a Bored Jar
• Boredom is a GOOD thingfor kids.
• Quiet time is encouraged in our houses.
• Giving ourselves permission to not be engaged ALL the time.
• How we balance “all the things” (hint: we don’t!)
