Kia ora everyone! Unfortunately, due to illness and other factors, we will be closed this week :( Remember to take care of yourselves- there's only one you!

It has been a roller coaster of a week with high emotions related to the return of school from both parents and children.
I come across this and I have to admit, I'm a shocker for asking 100 questions as soon as they open the car door.
Kids amaze me with the energy they come home from school with and I guess I just forgot maybe just like me after work they may need a few minutes to decompress first.

FYI this is a great book series for children with emotional regulation struggles, written by a kiwi mum too.

I am trying to get better at not asking 100 questions after my kids attend anything. Sometimes, and especially for kids at school, they need time to decompress from the day before being able to engage fully again. Talk to them about what they need after school to help them relax and recharge and then make a time to connect about the day.
We love to do this at dinnertime. We enjoy a family meal every night, no phones or tv, just background music. Our family dinner is a special time for connection when we are all together and something I cherish. Bex
