I’m closing in on hour 40 of my 48 hour “Staycation” – That’s more combined down-time then I’ve had in 6 months!
And is it just me or do the end-of-year performances, parties, commencements, tributes and “What-can we do now, Mom?”s send you into toxic meltdown?
After a Mani-Pedi and Santa Monica bike ride, I’m taking a deep breath and battening down the hatches for summer. Hope you and Errol are enjoying some unstructured time. I know, I know. I uttered the nasty word that should not be spoken among A-Types. “Unstructured”. I stand behind it. Down-time is the greenhouse of the imagination; it's the on-ramp to the Gifted highway. Enough metaphors, it’s just GOOD STUFF.
So, I’ve attached some of my tips for summer enrichment featured on the blog www.mommyguru.com For us A-Types, these activities have educational value and academic applications – but mostly, they’re cool, “old school”, and anti-rule.
Spa day, anyone?

BTW - I'm working on a "Do It Yourself" - test prep ERB/ISEE orientation for parents only. It would give you techniques on how to help your child prepare for the ISEE without hiring a prep company or tutor. The key is - start early and coach your child using consistent test-taking strategies. I'll let you know when we announce a date.
