Spring Break is right around the corner, and even though our children may see it as a break from school or a normal sleep routine (yelp!), the week may not feel like a break to parents. Every parent wants to enjoy their children and if you plan to take time off from work or want to make this week less stressful, this post is for you!
Implementing a few strategies can ensure that everyone isn’t at each other’s throats!

Visit the Staten Island Zoo- The Zoo is offering two events during Spring Break and it’s worth checking out if you want to stay local!

Staten Island Botanical Garden at Snug Harbor- The New York Chinese Scholar’s garden is one of two authentic classical outdoor Chinese gardens built in the United States.

You can have fun without a special trip or to Disney!
Traveling is expensive! Plan an easy but fun day trip by visiting a state park, garden or zoo. All these adventures are nearby and easy to navigate.
Spend time with Family and Friends
The hustle and bustle of everyday life sometimes gets the best of us and we try our best to connect with loved ones. Extending an invite to a family member or one of your kid’s friends offers you time to socialize with others especially since the days will feel longer during spring break!
Find a babysitter
Take time out for yourself?! Or go on out on a date?! What’s that like?! Planning ahead and ensuring a day or night out will have your future self thanking you. If finding a babysitter isn’t an option, opt for a night out while the other parent stays home and alternating! This turn-based approach gives each parent a stress-free night.
