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. Your child will spend about 13 years in the education system (not including pre school). If your child struggles with school, or you're just about to enter the school system book a consultation and I can help guide you through the tricky bits of your child's educational journey. If you prefer to learn on your own time, the Secrets of School Success online self-paced program is opening soon.
