About this listen

Are your kids constantly complaining they’re bored—or spending all day glued to screens?

You are not alone, friend. Summer can quickly turn into a battle of whining, messes, and mental overload if you don’t have a loose plan in place.

That’s why in this episode, I’m sharing what I’m doing to survive summer with my own kids—and how you can take back some sanity, too.

We’ll talk about:

  • Why boredom is actually good for kids—and how it fuels creativity

  • How to set clear screen time boundaries without fighting every day

  • The importance of leaving kids alone (yep, really!) to figure out their own fun

  • Simple outdoor activities and games to keep on hand for easy entertainment

  • Why having a stocked snack bin and an open door for friends makes life easier

  • How messes are part of the process—and why your home systems matter

  • A practical checklist your kids can use to earn their screen time each day

This episode is full of real-life ideas and encouragement to help you lead your family well—without losing your mind in the process.

Let’s make this summer one that’s fun, peaceful, and just structured enough to work.
