As the Psychologist Sees You

Summer Plans Again…
Tucked away in the notices of coming meetings of PTA groups was an unobtrusive report of a panel of students at one of those meetings to discuss the topic, “Teamwork for Summer Fun.” Here was the heart of my column for this issue – and it took a group of students of a junior high school to give me the answer.
This is the season for thoughts of vacations—or have you started months before, as I did. In any case, it’s time for those “Summer Plans Again.” And I hope that you will take the advice of these junior high school students and use teamwork for your summer fun. You see, teamwork should start even before you start your vacation. You should include all the members of your family in your vacation planning. Too often, we consider that as the head of the family (or imagine that we are), we should decide on what the individual members should do during their vacation. Unfortunately, not only does everyone like to express an opinion, but it sometimes takes a consensus of opinions to arrive at a decision. It is far safer, and wiser, to find out whether there is a general preference and then attempt to work out the plan. Of course, as the keeper of the treasury you might have an overwhelming voice in faor of your decision.
Teamwork should go beyond the making of a decision. The summer should be the time for the entire family to spend time together, at least for part of the time. Sometimes this can be limited to just the weekends when the entire group can go off to the beach or mountain areas, or just to loll about a pool or in the patio. Or perhaps it can be the last week or two before school starts again. With some families it may consist of an entire summer of travel or vacation at a resort. The important thing is that time is set aside for family relationships without the interference of school or business obligations.
In some cases it is important that one or all of the children get away from the parents and join with a group of other youngsters in camp or on a trip. This affords better social relationships when group activities are needed. It affords the children an opportunity to have a change of supervision or discipline, new surroundings, new friends, directed recreation, and the development of group and individual responsibilities. Of equal importance, it affords the parents an opportunity to relax from some of their responsibilities without shirking them, to knit their own interpersonal relationships, to be able to form adult forms of recreations, and to look at their children in a new and different light.
Whatever the plans, this is the time to make them. But it should involve teamwork – with the entire family serving as part of that team.
