Don't want the kids spending the summer in front of a screen?Looking for some entertaining challenges that will help build independence and resilience?
Why not consider setting your children (and yourselves!)
The Let Grow Summer Challenge. Here https://shorturl.at/n4qsc
Summer is the perfect season for spreading those independence
wings. With school out and sunshine in, kids have the time and
space to try doing more on their own—more exploration, more self discovery, more fun! Whether it’s a solo trip to the ice cream truck, organising a neighbourhood game, or pet sitting for the first time, these small adventures build big confidence.
Dive into these free resources to spark a Summer of Independence.
Make this summer a season of “I can do it!” moments!
It’s going to be great!
But first, a request: Please think back on your childhood summers.
The joy of playing. The afternoons absorbed in a hobby. Or even the time something went wrong and you had
to figure out what to do—and you did.
Remember? Your parents believed you could handle some freedom. Their trust in you and the confidence you
felt dealing with challenges is what built your resilience, bit by bit.
But today, kids just don’t get much chance to do things on their own. This makes it hard for them to stretch and succeed, or even bounce back from disappointments. They need a little of that bracing, old-fashioned independence YOU had.
This kit gives you and your kids a whole lot of things they can start doing this summer. Some things will seem too simple. Others, too hard. Everything depends on your kids’ interests, age, abilities, and neighbourhood.
So just discuss together what activities they’ll do on their own (or with a friend) without you helping or supervising. Maybe without you even tracking or texting them!
The point is to stretch the boundaries of childhood just a little bit. When kids do something new on their own, both generations get a burst of confidence. Worry gets replaced by pride and joy.
It can be hard to let go, so this kit provides a little push. Be prepared for a lot of growth and the joy of seeing your child thrive!
