It shouldn’t - that’s what producer Lynne and I will be talking about today since Monday, Memorial Day, traditionally marks the start of summer. As kids, our summers were totally unstructured (and fun!) But both Lynne and I have the tendency to think in terms of “structure” for our own kids during the summer. Lynne says she plans on running a “boot camp” for her 5 kids this summer (lots of academic and physical discipline) and I admit that sounds good to me. But how much is too much?

We’ll be opening the phone lines today, so get ready to call and ad your two cents - what did your summers look like as a kid (did we even have “math camps” then?) and how much parental hands on planning is too much during the summer?

You can listen live, 2:00 central, at AM1160 WYLL, or streaming at www.wyll.com, or later here or via podcast at nationalreview.com. Today you can call at 847-956-5030.

Thanks for stopping by!
