Summer is here! With school officially out, kids will have a lot more unstructured time over the next few months. To help your family strike the perfect balance between screen time and sprinkler sessions, we’ve created this summer rules checklist you can print out and stick to the fridge.

If you have kids staying at home this summer while you’re at work, our award-winning service can help you breathe a little easier.
