School is coming to an end, and summer is quickly approaching. This is a time for our children to relax, recharge and explore new environments. While our children are looking forward to sleeping in and lazy days, all children do better with structure and routine, especially those who have a diagnosis such as ADHD, Autism and Oppositional Defiant Disorder, who depend on structure. Even as adults, our routine provides consistency and stability and builds healthy habits. While we cannot recreate the structure found in school, ensuring our children are involved in activities throughout the summer months will help them to grow in numerous ways.
