Why Keep your Kids on a Summer Schedule? 3 Best Reasons
Keeping Kids on a
Summer Schedule…3 Best Reasons why is it important
Summer Schedule…3 Best Reasons why is it important
Summer break is a time to just let loose and be free to
explore. Without the rigid structure of the school day, minds have the
opportunity to expand and find their own way. But sleeping until noon isn’t
helpful to anyone, and getting out of the summer cycle doesn’t have to be as
painful as you think. The key is to empower your children to see the
possibilities that this time has to offer them!

Here
are three reasons to keep your kids on a summer schedule, then some tips on how
to make it happen.
are three reasons to keep your kids on a summer schedule, then some tips on how
to make it happen.
1.
Reason #1 – Reality
This
is the absolute number 1 reason to keep your kids on a summer schedule –
reality. When kids are in their school years, we teach them that there’s this
magical three month space where you get to sleep all day and play video games.
Then when they get older, they’re hit with the reality that life just isn’t
like that. Most people get two weeks of vacation per year, that’s it! Of course
we want to let kids be kids, and we certainly don’t want to ruin the magic of
childhood by pushing them all of the time. But realize that humans are
creatures of habit, and when parents allow their children to just go on without
any structure at all, they’re instilling a cycle that their children will
really have a hard time breaking when they’re older.

Reason #2 – Growth
There
is something immensely satisfying to kids as well as to adults about
accomplishing something. Success breeds pride and self confidence. Setting a
summer schedule means that your kids get to feel the satisfaction that comes
from being productive and engaged in the world around them. While kids as they
get older naturally need to sleep a little later to be healthy – that doesn’t
mean staying in bed until 11am. Our minds are at their peak in the morning, not
at midnight. Summer affords the opportunity for kids to learn about things that
there isn’t time for during the school year, particularly physical activities
like martial arts. Those are all more likely to happen before noon than later
in the day when it’s too hot or too dark.

Reason #3 – Preparation
Staying
up late regularly and sleeping late regularly are a recipe for a tough
transition back to school and to the rush of afterschool activities that come
in the fall. Maintaining a summer schedule will allow your child to have an
easy time getting back into the swing of things. Make it easy for your child!

Painless
Summer Scheduling
This
doesn’t have to be that difficult. It sounds horrible, even painful to most
parents. It’s really not! And even if the summer is already going, you can
still get started with a summer schedule, for all of the great reasons listed
above.

parents. It’s really not! And even if the summer is already going, you can
still get started with a summer schedule, for all of the great reasons listed
above.
Here are some tips:
- Be open about the reasons it’s important
- Get your kids input – empower them to want to wake up
- Let them set their own alarm – don’t wake them up every
day - Allow the occasional late night and late morning, but
limit it to weekends - Set everything a little later (ie, 8:00am wake up
instead of 6:30am) - Leave plenty of free time, unstructured but not
necessarily screen time - Include daily training/physical activity in the
schedule - Don’t watch the clock, allow for some flexibility
- Be sure to include activities like your child’s Mastery
Martial Arts classes in your schedule - When you get frustrated, remember how much this will
serve them when they’re in college or adults, and have a habit of getting
themselves up and being productive!
