Biggest Challenges Parents Face During The Summer Break!

Just 22 more nights of sleep before school starts!

Three weeks are left of summer and parents are running out of things to do with their kids.

 

 

Working parents find summer to be a huge challenge trying to balance their responsibilities and trying to take time off to spend time with the family. 

 

 

A study found that working parents try to take an average of 10 days off during the summer. 

A survey of 2,000 parents with school-aged kids says these are the biggest challenges during the summer break!  Choosing activities to do with their child, the weather, cost, and how close to home it is are all factors parents consider.

 

 

27 percent seek a creative activity, while 25 percent want it to be something inspiring, and 22 percent like to include an educational aspect.  I just want to keep them off their games!  #Momgoals!
