School Holidays from a Different Angle

For some parents, the school holidays are a great time to take back your kids full time, and give each other some undivided love and attention.

For others it can feel like a storm brewing, as the long days of trying to find entertainment and affordable ways to while the days safely away, stretch out before you like a sentence.

There are some parents who struggle to maintain their jobs during the school holidays, trying to balance child supervision with full or part time work.
