As school lets out and kids have more free time, now is the perfect time to introduce the whole family to a healthier lifestyle. Kids today spend twice as much time indoors as their parents did. An average American child spends as little as 30 minutes a day engaging in unstructured outdoor play and instead spends up to 7 hours indoors in front of a screen.

This summer, it is time for parents to take a step back and let their little rays of sun get out there and shine.

Now is the time to start planning your summer of wellness and fun. Michelle Jerson, Lifestyle expert, mom, and multimedia journalist, has your summer survival guide to make the most of your time together for a happy, healthy, and entertaining summer.
