How do you encourage kiddos to avoid the summer slide?

Do you insist on summer enrichment? When Eden was younger, we'd always do a workbook over the summer to help avoid the summer slide. But now that she's headed into junior high I let her choose what she wanted to do. Loving these journals from Jess Volinski (known for the Notebook Doodles brand -- you'll recognize her work. Her illustrations can be found just about anywhere). She created the writing prompts and illustrations inside to help girls develop their self confidence through building their inner voice. I'm partial to the "Always be Yourself" journal as I tell her this mantra daily. What are your kiddos working on this summer?

P.S. Set a tent up in the yard to encourage some reflective time. It's like magic.
