Create family rules for summer to help keep your summer from being too much chaos. Along with rules, you can also create fun summer treats for the kids to enjoy after completing their chores. Make this the best summer yet!
The long hot days of summer are a rite of childhood. No school. No homework. And no rules! Except that all moms know how quickly those long hot days can turn into complete anarchy and chaos. Kids thrive on routine. Even if the routine is a loose one, it will help everyone keep their sanity.
Start out by using our Summer Activities Planner to help plan the summer with your kids. The planner helps keep everyone’s expectations in check. It lets you create a schedule.
Family Rules and Treats for Summer
-
- Use pre-made rules
-
- or make your own!
Work together to create some Family Rules for Summer. You can use our pre-made template or make the rules up to fit your family’s needs. You can make them fun like it’s a rule to go swimming. Or make them serious like doing the dishes.
Summer can’t be all about rules, though. You also need some family treats. Again, you can use our pre-made treats or create your own. Change the treats each week.
