Where In The World Is Wyatt? Summer Time Adventures

Well it may be summer but Wyatt has been extremely busy!  In June, he attended the Kennesaw Mountain Writing Project Summer Institute to brush up on his writing skills.  It was intense hard work but also great fun.  He made lots of new friends.   He wants to give a big shout out to any KMWPSI-ers who are reading this blog!


Last weekend he made an appearance at Tucker's Antiques and Gifts in Blairsville, Georgia. He was a little worried that his friends might think he's an antique even though he is still just a little puppy.  I assured him that no one will be confused!

Monday, July 9th, Wyatt will be visiting with the children at the Primrose School on Giles Road.  He is super excited to be back with children and has lots of coloring sheets to share.  And Tuesday, July 17th, he will be sharing his story during the children's hour at Yawn's Books And More, in Canton Georgia. Please plan to join him if you can.


Finally, Wyatt's newest book will be out the end of July!!!  He is planning a big book launch party so stay tuned for details.

Summer will soon be over but Wyatt still has a  few dates when he could visit your school or preschool class...just let us and know and we'll be glad to work something out!


Both of Wyatt's books are available on Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble.com, Yawn's Books and More, Tucker's Antiques and Gifts and of course, Wyatt's own website.  Don't forget to like Wyatt on Facebook!

Where Is Wyatt?

Can you find Wyatt The Wonder Dog in this picture?  You are right, he is peeking over the sand castle that he built!  Wyatt does love spending time at the beach during the summer and in the newest book which is coming out soon, Wyatt not only goes to the beach but he starts Kindergarten!  Do you know anyone who is starting kindergarten soon?  It is a big step and Wyatt as usual is wondering about a lot of things.     We'll be following Wyatt's newest wonder--full adventure right here on this blog, so be sure to check back each week as we get closer and closer to the book launch.  We are planning lots of fun activities!


Is there a child in your life who will be starting kindergarten soon?    What questions do they have? I wonder if Wyatt has the same questions...please post them here.  I'd love to know.

How Are You Wired For Summer?

Summer vacations are upon us!  Summer is filled with sleeping late, days at the pool, friends getting together and lots of free time to do whatever you want.  It sounds heavenly...but sometimes the end result falls short of the mark.  As a mom, I can remember looking forward to the summer months with guarded anticipation.  The first few days were relaxing and fun and then the dreaded B word would surface - "I'm Bored!"  Being the ultimate problem solver that I am, I tried a lot of different things but I must admit that I didn't take into account my children's personality type as I planned their days.  What a difference that might have made!

For the high 'D' type, plan some activities that involve physical activities and challenges - join a swim team, sign up for camp or plan a neighborhood get-together.  The 'D's' love anything that involves a challenge and offers clear results.  Put them in charge or the activities and they are working in their strengths.

For the 'I' wired child, social activites are a priority.  This child will enjoy attending play groups, vacation Bible school, drama camp anything where they find lots of friends participating.  In fact, to get an activity going well, ask them to invite all their friends.  You will soon have a party going on!

The 'S' wired child would probably be content just to hang around the house entertaining themselves with a few close friends.  They like  creative pursuits, a laid back easy going routine and a peaceful environment.  Lots of rushing off to camp or classes is not for them.

Finally the 'C' wired child likes plenty of opportunities to investigate and discover.  While they might enjoy a science or computer camp, they could be equally happy pursuing their own projects at home.  Encourage them in their quest for the right way to do things. 

Well, there you have it.  A unique way of looking at your summer plans based on your child's personality style.  So often we feel compelled to send all our children to camp or sign them all up for swim team.  However, sometimes the activity doesn't fit the personality.  First recognize your child's unique strength and gifts and then plan your summer accordingly. The lazy days of summer will go much more smoothly.
