Summer Books for Kids and Parents too!
I know itβs summertime and youβre enjoying the last care free summer days but school will be back before we know it. As parents we know that thereβs so much work that needs to be done to prep the kids for the school year ahead. The past year hasnβt been easy on any of us, much less on the kids. Thatβs why today I want to share with you a few summer books for kids and parents. Read on!
Best Summer Books for Parents
Todayβs book recommendations arenβt only for the kids. Oftentimes, mom and dad need a little support in getting the kids ready to tackle the school year ahead. These books are just the help you need to support your kids as they review and refine some of the necessary skills theyβll need as they head back to school.
Social Skills for Kids
This one isnβt completely for the kids. SocialΒ SkillsΒ forΒ Kids, is a new book for parents and caregivers. This past year has been extremely difficult forΒ kidsΒ β not only have they had to adapt to a year of academic distance learning, but perhaps even more importantly theyβve lost out on more than a year of proximity to other students and teachers β important time that helps them developΒ socialΒ skillsΒ like active listening, cooperation, empathy, self-control, responsibility, and respect. This emotional intelligence impacts all areas of their life, from developing deeper relationships with their peers to learning to work cooperatively to developing greater self-esteem and confidence.

InΒ SocialΒ SkillsΒ forΒ Kids, author Keri K. Powers,Β MA EdHD, MEd, NCC β a mental health counselor turned elementary school counselor β has writtenΒ the perfect book for helping children work onΒ socialΒ skillsΒ that may have waned during the COVID pandemic. And sheβs framed it in a series of 150+ age-appropriate games and activities thatβll be fun forΒ kidsΒ and caregivers alike. An easy read and a wonderful resource to have on hand this summer and beyond.
SocialΒ skillsΒ are a critical part of childrenβs development, andΒ SocialΒ SkillsΒ forΒ KidsΒ will help prepare children to be strong team members, compassionate friends, and successful students when they return to classrooms in the fall. Inside this great little book, youβll find activities broken down across categories, from communication and listeningΒ skills, to emotion-regulating and respectΒ skills, and each category includes different activities by age, from 1-year-old to 8-years-old. For example, Volume Hopscotch will help a 3-year-old understand appropriate voice levels, or a 6-year-old can practice engaging with others using the Common Ground activity, where they interview friends and family to find five things they have in common.Β This book is filled with little gems that will help you as a parent support your childβs growth, their social development and emotional well being.

Best Summer Books for Little Kids
No doubt the past school year was brutal, especially forΒ kidsΒ (and caregivers whoβve been homeschooling).Β And while itβs true that our kidsΒ need a break β they also need to avoid the dreaded summer slide. They might even need to catch up a bit as this entire past year may as well have been one big slump! Thatβs why Iβm excited to let you know aboutΒ theΒ next two books forΒ little kidsΒ that turn learning math β a difficult but essential skill β into an opportunity for fun! Teaching little ones math isnβt always easy but I absolutely love when we can make if fun for our little ones!
