[Excerpt] Create a physical calendar.

At the beginning of June, summer, for better or worse, might feel like it’s going to go on forever. But sometime around the 4th of July, many families are suddenly struck by the feeling that summer is slipping away. A shared physical calendar can be a strong visual reminder of how much time you really have and how well you’re using it — especially for younger children. Buy a big wall or desk calendar and start filling in the activities you’re already planning for: camps, weddings, kids’ sports, and family vacations. You could color code your calendar for individual family members and shared activities. Or, if your whole year has been building towards one big trip, add a countdown to your calendar that keeps growing excitement while also encouraging responsible planning.
