My younger son needs to be physically, mentally and socially fulfilled over the summer.

We do swim team, summer library program, visits with family, play dates, roller skating lessons, cooking with his dad, yard work, and games.

I insist on quiet hour after lunch each day...reading, napping, writing or playing silently in your own room are the only activities allowed during the hour. No electronics.

I would love for him to do some math too but he never gets around to it. I think I am going to see if he will go for daily typing/keyboard practice.

I also know he wants to work on learning to play the guitar.
