Ron: Summer is here and for some of you it means the kids are switching homes. Would you like to know how to start it off right?

Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.

Ron: Helping your kids with the six-week summer sleepover, as I like to call it, depends on whether you’re sending or receiving. So, here are a couple of tips. If you’re sending a child, schedule a pre-summer conference call with the other household to find out how to pack. Then when the time comes, send your child off with your permission to enjoy their time. If you’re on the receiving end, plan some special activities around their arrival. Then settle in to your typical summer routine and try to make the most of your time.

Now, whether you’re sending or receiving, having a good attitude about making the summer schedule work just might translate into a good attitude in your kids, too.

For FamilyLife Blended I’m Ron Deal.
