 Dear FAMILY Friend, There is so much to do in the summer from going to the pool, taking the family on a hike, traveling to the beach, to endless amounts of outdoor activities. As summer goes by, the kids might start to run out of new ideas of what to do and that's when the 'I'm Bored's start. As parents we think, "How is that possible? Look at all you have to do!" Take a look at this article to see the science behind the 'I'm Bored' and what you can do to help. If you're looking for some activities to try, click here! Our August issue hits stands this Friday! Keep an eye out at these locations to pick up a copy. Tell us what you think via Facebook, Twitter, or tag us @ familymagdc on Instagram! |
