One Month of Summer Left – Make It Count!

Summer’s not over yet—and there’s still a lot time to make the most of it. In this

SCOOP, we’re sharing helpful tips and reminders to keep your family safe,

engaged, and thriving during this next month of sunny summertime weeks.

Learn how to spot the signs of mental health struggles in children, understand the

risks and signs of concussions in kids sports, and explore ways to keep young

minds active and curious. We’ve added some fun brain-buster challenges

too—because summer learning doesn’t have to feel like schoolwork!

It’s a great time to try something new, spark creativity, and make lasting

memories together. Whether you’re soaking up the sun or taking a quiet moment

indoors, summer is still full of possibilities.

Look for the latest Summer issue of Winnipeg Parent across the city and online!
