Nearly Summer Holidays in the Uk! 🌞
Not long now till the flood gates open and all the little ones come pouring out of school for the Summer Holidays!
Let's talk about the moment it hits.
Maybe it's when the school sends home that "last day" letter or the whole year's worth of artwork and books. 📚
Maybe it's when your kid announces they're "SO ready for summer."
Or when it's 11pm on the last day of term and you're lying there thinking…
oh no.
Because you know what's coming. 😅
The "I'm bored" at 8:47am.
The snack requests every fourteen minutes.
The sibling dynamics that were fine — fine — when they had six hours apart.
The routines that held everything together just… dissolving overnight.
The noise. The negotiating. The not knowing what day it is.
The guilt that you're not doing enough.
The guilt that you're doing too much.
The guilt that you're just… surviving it again!
And if your kid is demand-avoidant? Let's just say things can get very overwhelming.. fast!
The transition alone can take weeks.
The dysregulation that comes with unstructured time.
The way "fun" can tip into overwhelm before anyone saw it coming.
Summer can feel like something that happens to you.
But what if it didn't have to?
What if this summer felt genuinely grounding instead of just… survived?
If you could redesign it — what's the first thing you'd change about expectations around summer or summer in general?
