Summer is, without a doubt, the favorite season for the little ones in the house. The days are longer, you can spend more time on the street and, what is most important, you don’t have to go to school. However, for parents it can be a headache to be able to entertain them for so many hours.
We have reached the time that many call the 3D: Rest, Disconnect and Enjoy. Children deserve it after a long course but, sometimes, it is expensive for parents to find a way to fill their time when the dreaded “I get bored” arrives.
On the one hand, it is good that children learn to be bored, especially in an age like the one we live in with overstimulation. But, on the other hand, we must think that summer is the ideal time to share more time with children, quality time, without the rigidity of schedules or school obligations.
