Summertime Blues? What To Do With The Kids When School Lets Out

Creativity and adroit scheduling are needed to plan your children's summer activities.

Back before economic realities demanded that dual incomes were needed to maintain a family, there was usually one parent who would be home when the school year ended for the kids. But now, that's not always the case. So how do you keep the kids occupied and cared for in the summer? And with limited resources?

It's not easy, but Josilyn Adams, co-owner of Burlington Vermont Moms Blog, and Alison Novak, Kids VT managing editor, join us with oodles ideas on how your kids will get the most out of their summer.

Post your questions or suggestions here, or email them to vermontedition@vpr.net.

Also on the program, a big new report is out that has data on many angles of the GMO debate. We’re checking in on the findings with entomologist Fred Gould, chair of the committee that produced the report.

You can read the full GMO report online here.

Broadcast live on Thursday, May 26, 2016, at noon; rebroadcast at 7 p.m.
