What If I Stopped Trying To Make Summer Magic?

Sarah Benedict realized something recently about her blissful childhood memories of summertime: "I don't remember ever considering, or perhaps caring, what summer felt like for my parents." Now she's on the other side, and she's getting a whole different experience: "Now, as a stay-at-home parent on the precipice of the end of the school year, it's both humbling and liberating to think that most of my kids' summertime memories won't involve me. Because wow, summer is a lot."

And it's made her rethink her whole approach!
