School’s Out For Summer!
Hi friends! Hope the end of the school year came to a happy close for you and yours. I am so excited about the summer schedule being more chill. I am also looking forward to some fun in the sun and family explorations in Austin. Hope you enjoy Enriched Family’s June 2019 Activities list and use it to plan some exciting family adventures! As always, Austin’s June offerings of free, family activities do not disappoint. Summers in Austin are a great time to catch a free film, concert, or hands-on art activity, often at an area park, museum, or library. In addition, there are lots of interesting educational and cultural events to look forward to this month. First, check out the highlighted resource below - an informative New York Times parenting resource for new and expecting parents that launched this month. Then, when you are planning your June activities, consider checking out the Austin African American Film Festival or the numerous free concerts in the park; celebrate Immigrant Heritage Month with American Gateways at their June Fiesta! and Juneteenth at the Carver Museum; enjoy Nature Nights at the Wildflower Center or learn about West African Dance at Rhythm on Stage at the Long Center. And these are just some of the free events!
There are also some wonderful fee-based film festivals, some family art programs at the Blanton Art Museum (free with museum admission), as well as a number of children’s theater performances. Given the numerous film offerings this summer, I have created a special section for you film buffs that will run through the summer! I hope you have fun planning and exploring with Enriched Family’s June 2019 Activities List! Please consider sharing it with your friends.
As a heads up, blogging will be a bit lighter over the summer, but I will definitely continue to do the monthly activity lists and at least one other blog post each month. Keep your eyes out for an upcoming blog post on family road tripping to Houston.
(Please note, the following is provided for informational purposes only; the information is accurate and true to the best of my knowledge, but there may be omissions, errors or mistakes, and no guarantees are made. This list is by no means exhaustive, just a sampling of events that caught my eye that I wanted to highlight. Additional good sources for activity lists are included at the end of the post.)

New York Times Parenting: Evidence-Based Guidance for New and Expecting Parents
This month, the New York Times revealed a site for new and expecting parents. Being a research nerd, I love that they focus on evidence-based information. Being an expectant or new parent is hard. I wish I had a source like this when I was starting on my parenting journey to help cut through all the noise. What a great tool to provide folks with straightforward information about what science and research says about parenting and early childhood. Check it out! And then make your own informed, personal decisions.
Details: According to NYT Parenting, “we cover fertility and pregnancy, babies, kids and your life with them. We publish evidence-based guides and developmental milestones — all backed by the journalistic rigor of The New York Times. Our reporting helps you make decisions for your family, and our essays tell personal stories about all the ways you can become a parent and raise young children today.”
