Summer Vacation Can Be Bedlam

Item: Bedlam rules the day: But parents say they can control the chaos that spring brings for active children /Jody Lawrence-Turner, SR

More Info: May is the new December for parents and their school-age children, with spring becoming as crazy as the holiday season hustle and bustle. The end of the school year. Wrapping up athletic events. Martial arts classes. Final musical and theatrical performances. Attending graduations and the parties that follow. Not to mention any family events that might come up. Perhaps chaos is the best description.

Question: How do you keep your kids from driving you up the wall during the late spring and summer vacation?
