Out on a countryside walk I came across a corner of a field full of daisies. I love daisies as they remind me of long, lazy summer days. No routines with endless ways to fill my days (or not). However, this idyllic vision really isn't a reality (I think I've read too many summer novels!). Summer break brings with it a change of routines which, children may find hard to manage. You may see more emotional dysregulation in your child. Children thrive on routines and clear boundaries. As adults it is important, wherever possible, to maintain some of our children's normal routines like meal and bed times. However, it is important to embrace the change in pace, encourage your children to try new things and turn outings such as walking in the woods into adventures becoming a nature trail scavenger hunt. Using this time to explore new things can lead to new interests and hobbies. This slower pace also allows for everyone to unwind, be a bit bored and recharge their batteries. So if you are looking for support during the the holidays please feel free to reach out.
