About this episode

This episode discusses how to maintain kindness and thoughtfulness while spending extended time with kids during the summer.

This is an episode to help us be kind people to our people, particularly in this summer season when kids are usually home. We all want to be kind people, to be thoughtful about how we treat each other, and in the pressure cooker of a weird summer, kindness and thoughtfulness might get compromised. Today, I’m sharing seven typical obstacles to being home with people for a long stretch of time and how to approach them from a kind Lazy Genius perspective.  Helpful Companion Links Order my book The PLAN or ask your library to consider carrying a copy.
