Parents can say no to activities during busy summer

With kids out of school, parents have a lot more on their plates.

One tip for parents is to have a broad plan for summer and then take it week by week, making changes as needed.

Don’t feel bad if you have to say no to something.

For example, it’s OK to skip a baby shower or birthday party if needed, and don’t be afraid to ask for help.

If you notice your stress or anxiety doesn’t seem to be getting better with time, it’s recommended to speak with a mental health professional.
