Cast Away Your Worries.

Summer is a time to be carefree. More often than not, we adults tend to be bogged down by little things that really don’t matter or big things we can’t change. Children especially should not be burdened with worries beyond their control. This tradition is a great way for all of us to learn to let go of what troubles us and enjoy the precious time we have together. Pick a Saturday or a special moment in the summer — such as when you’re preparing to take off for the family’s summer vacation — and have everyone write down something that worries them. Whatever it is that bothers us, once it is down on paper it’s easier to let go. To celebrate this, roll up your “worries” and tie them with a ribbon. Have everyone toss their worries over their shoulder. Your swimming pool, a local fountain or the backyard grill are all great places to “let go” and begin your carefree summer.
