Hey Moms,
Summer is here! ☀️
While many of us are juggling back-to-back meetings, endless to-do lists, and managing households, our kids are trading school routines for screen time, standing in front of the refrigerator for what feels like hours and snack marathons. But what if this summer could be different?
Let’s talk about bridge programs—those golden opportunities that keep our kids learning, growing, and (most importantly) structured during these summer months.
Why Summer Structure Matters (Especially for Tech Moms!)
As working moms in tech, we thrive on systems—and so do our kids. Summer bridge work gives them:
A daily rhythm while school’s out
A chance to retain and sharpen skills
A boost in confidence for the new school year
Not to mention, it buys us a little peace of mind during the workday. 🙌

Tips for Making It All Work:

- Use rewards: Stickers, free time, or a fun Friday activity.
- Work beside them: If you’re answering emails, let them sit next to you doing their workbook.
