How do minimalist parents handle summer?

We had the pleasure of joining host Michele Martin and journalist Jamila Bey on NPR’s Tell Me More to talk about minimalist parenting + summertime scheduling.

The broadcast recording and transcript is available on the NPR website.

We’d love to hear your thoughts on Twitter (@minparenting) or on the Minimalist Parenting page on Facebook. (Or just leave a comment here.)

• Summer overscheduling: problem or solution (to zoning out in front of a screen)?
• Strategies vary based on whether parents are working or at home (or working at home). What works for you?
• How do you hope this summer will go for your family?
