Navigating summer challenges
Navigating summer challenges

After months of being confined to home, even the most cooperative siblings are likely to be getting on each other’s (and their parents’) nerves. And as we start a summer like no other — with many camps, sports and other summertime activities cancelled — a lot more family togetherness is in store. What can parents do to help kids get along without constantly playing referee?

This week on childmind.org we explore strategies for reducing conflict between siblings and helping kids make the most of each other’s company in this transitional time. And for parents of young children, our experts spell out how to help preschoolers develop independence, whether it’s doing chores or playing by themselves, giving you a little more time to yourself, too.
