Q: It?s summer and my kids are out of school. I remember the lazy days of summer in my childhood, but these days, it seems as if everyone?s kids are at camps or summer enrichment opportunities. Should I be structuring my kids? vacation more? How much is too much?

A: As summer vacation began, my friends and I would sing, ?No more pencils, No more books!? But there were still books because the summer library reading program was popular.
