Brain freezes and brain boosts this summer!

Your child has made amazing progress this year in school. And while students certainly need a break from the stress, anxiety, and whirlwind of the school year, an hour or two each week of reading, writing, and/or math will keep their skills sharp and give them a leg up come September. Despite their arguments to the contrary, that time will not infringe upon their fun time! 

So with epic family vacations booked, day and overnight camps secured, and long weekends planned, it’s now time to identify ways to keep your child’s brain engaged and primed for back-to-school amid all that fun and relaxation. 

There are certainly ways to do this on your own and we’ll be sharing tips all summer long to support you. However, if it feels daunting and you need some support, Engaging Minds can help.

We have built a summer program that can support students of all ages in a variety of ways. Our Learning Specialists will work with you to create a summer program that is personalized and tailored to your child’s specific needs, and that fits your summer schedule. Even just a few sessions to stay on track will make a world of difference. 

1. Our classic one-on-one executive function coaching can help students of all ages manage summer reading, engage in some writing, and strengthen math skills all through an executive function lens.
2. For students in grades 2-8, Summer @ Engaging Minds Academy offers a catalog of fun, engaging, and executive function-focused electives. Your child will love planning your family’s next dream vacation or writing their own graphic novel!
3. For older students, we have a few EM Academy electives that might be of interest, or they can work on strengthening their executive function skills by creating their own, fun summer project. 
4. And for rising seniors, we’ll help them get a Head Start on the College Application Process, easing the load for the fall. 

Whether you do this work on your own with your child or engage them in one of our offerings, your goals this summer are our goals: to ensure that your child returns to school in the fall prepared and with confidence. Please contact us to get started!
