It’s that time of the year once again. No, not the Holidays, but the end of another school year in San Diego and all the events that follow. From recitals, end of year school parties, proms and graduations. Everybody is excited and if not, at least relieved, that another school year has come to an end. And we all say the same thing year after year: “Where did the time go, has it really been a whole year?”
Family life is full of these rituals that give us a framework and at the same time an opportunity to make memories and cement a foundation of love and security for our children. It tells them that they are important and we value their achievements. Celebrations also give us meaning and an opportunity to part-take in our community at large. A time to reflect.
Here are some tips to make celebrations even more special:
You children may not seem to care at this stage of their lives but I guarantee, that with time, they will all look back and laugh ‘till they cry as they see the pictures and remember these special events of family life.
Stay well and have a safe, fun summer.
