Do you like school holidays? Can you take the time to reconnect these holidays? Depending on your family they can be a blessing or a curse. A chance to slow down the weekly grind or routine, or a be source of stress as children out of their routine don't know what do with their unstructured time. Whilst we work on creating a school success schedule, how much work do we put into making school holidays a success? It is also common for issues such as too much screen time to arise; as well as pressures to organise and clean the house and catch up on everything you didn't get to during the term (I hope that's not just me!), Just a quick hint - try for some out of the house time each day. Have a look at what your local council, youth group, State parks and libraries have on. You may be surprised at their breadth of activities - particularly for primary school aged children. A quick walk in your nearest park, a trip on a bus or train somewhere, visiting friends or a picnic in the backyard. Try and make the time to plant your feet on sand, grass or soil. Try and make time to reconnect with your children and your world.
