7 School Holiday Tips

School holidays is a busy time for already busy parents. Here are a few tips if you're planning to go away for the break;

1. Research about your destination - the more you know the better you can plan ahead

2. Make a list of things you need to bring and check before you go

3. Pack healthy snacks - if meals are delayed there is no drama!

4. Make time for rest time - children can get overstimulated and tired quickly, try to incorporate some down time throughout the day. Remember routines may be harder to follow.

5. Pack childrens clothes by outfit and bag them separately or in a ziplock bag. This way you are less likely to over pack. Have at least one outfit per day.

6. Discuss what will be happening on your trip and set some rules around predetermined activities

7. Take some easy to carry activities e.g. coloring book and pencils. This will help children during long waits.
