Posted on June 20th, 2011
As the busyness of the school year ends and our thoughts warm to summer, it’s often grillin’ and chillin’ that are high on priority lists. The beauty of this laid back season is that it can also inspire us to consume fresh fruits and veggies. Try your local farmers from local fresh picks.
A common tool used to motivate behavior is reward charting. Many families set up reward charts for children to promote book reading, doing household chores, or working hard for a variety of goals. How about reward charting for activities and meals that can be enjoyed all summer long that involving the whole family?
Check out this Rewards Summertime Goal Chart which can give you a great template to set fun goals for the summer. Meet as a family and decide if you want to add some different choices in the chart as well. Maybe you all have wanted to try kayaking? Possibly try snorkeling or grilling fish for the first time?
Let your imagination and fun go wild as you start to plan your family being the “Biggest Winners” by diving into this Summer Challenge!
