We kind of have a summer routine. I set
down some rules after the first week of freedom from school. The television
goes off at 8AM. Therfore if you want to watch cartoons you must get up early.
Nobody wakes up early. The kids have a list of chores and to do’s that must be
done before they can watch tv or play games in the afternoon. They also need to
read for 20 minutes a day. During
swimming it has worked out really well for them to read in the car. They have a
designated room they must keep clean and tidy. The room changes each week,
bathroom, living room and kitchen. So far it is going well. One thing I am
really bad about it “Stick to it’ness”. I am great at coming up with plans and
ideas, but I have a problem with keeping it going. I let the kids slack too
much. I am hoping to stay on track with this through the summer and by the tine
school starts I am hoping it will be routine.
