If you are anything like me, you are thinking spring. From the time the last Christmas decoration is removed from the tree, I am done with the snow showers and ready for those April showers. Don’t get me wrong, I love the four seasons we experience in Michigan, but if winter was the shortest season in the year, trust me, I wouldn’t be disappointed.
Now, if it’s too soon for spring, how about summer? Being a parent myself and having been involved in Children’s ministries for over 25 years, I have heard it said by many a good parent they would prefer summer to be the shortest season only because of the fact their kids will be out of school. Summer vacation is not something many parents look forward to due to the challenges the kids can be during the course of a whole day at home. I think everyone who is a parent knows exactly what I am talking about. Most parents will agree to the fact our kids are a blessing, but some of the challenges that come with them can make it feel more the opposite. I have found there are some helpful principles we can use that have changed my perspective of those “challenges” into opportunities. Let me suggest, whether you have an infant, a teenager, or maybe both you don’t have to dread summer vacation any longer, Parenting With Love & Logic is a book that can help us parents not just be survivors but successful parents. You can be prepared for those nearly three months of opportunity with your little angel(s) and enjoy your summer at the same time.
