Recently on For Kids Entertainment, I had a giveaway that promoted the CW line up of action packed superhero cartoons and one reader wrote in wondering if the violence was okay for her 4 year old son. This question got me thinking: how violent is too violent for kid’s TV?

Many adults take long vacations, or time off in the summer to recharge. Children have a built-in vacation from school. Getting back on track can often present a challenge, but rising to meet it can produce even better results than you had before the break. It is important to look at any reasons you may be having trouble getting back on track. Are there things about school/work that you are avoiding? It may be time to reshuffle and reconsider your work/school routines and do things differently than before. Refine your routines. Remove clutter and unnecessary tasks or delegate them. Add desirable tasks to your routine to give you more to draw you back into your work routine. By giving yourself reasons to want to go back into your routine, you are taking care of yourself.
