Send us a textWelcome to the table with Trish and Eileen!Summer may bring sunshine and freedom, but for many kids, the lack of structure can lead to a whirlwind of big feelings. In this episode, we talk about the emotional ups and downs that often come with summer break. From mid-day meltdowns to the “I’m bored” blues, we share simple, practical tips for helping kids feel more grounded, supported, and emotionally safe during those unstructured weeks.We also talk about why routines still matter (even the flexible kind!), how to help your child name their emotions, and how you can model calm when your own patience starts to wear thin. Plus, we talk about the kids who are doing “all the things”—like going to camp all day—and come home completely exhausted. We’ll share how to create an after-camp rhythm that helps them rest, reset, and avoid those end-of-day meltdowns (hint: less is more, and connection over correction goes a long way!).  To make things even easier for families, we’ve created a free Summer Bingo Card to help you create fun, feel-good activities that keep kids engaged and balanced. It’s designed to sprinkle a little structure into their days—without overwhelming anyone.Check it out on our Facebook and Instagram pages (@chalk2table) and join us in creating a summer that’s both playful and peaceful.See you at the table!
