How to plan ahead for a successful summer

Even if summer seems far in the future, it’s probably not too early to begin planning for what your child will do during their break from school. 

Once you find a program that looks interesting, then comes the rest of the work. Is it a good fit for my child? How am I going to pay for it? 

On this episode of Parenting Behavior, host Dr. Andy Kahn talks about the best time to start planning for summer camps and the key questions parents should ask. He also shares insights on choosing the right camp or program for your child.
