The Power of Unstructured Fun in the School Holidays

It’s easy to feel the pressure to fill every moment of the school holidays with structured activities and outings... but sometimes, less is more.
It’s OK not to have a plan for every minute of the day. In fact, you might find that some of the best memories come from unplanned moments. Enjoying a simple activity, like washing the car together, can be far more rewarding and fun than spending money on a day trip or trying to squeeze in back-to-back events.

Have you ever noticed how kids sometimes get overwhelmed by too many things to do? It’s like they can’t fully appreciate anything because they’re already looking ahead to the next activity. This can cause stress for you as a parent too, leaving you feeling like you have to keep the excitement going all the time.

What if instead of cramming every moment, you could be more intentional with your time together? What if you could choose a few activities that truly connect you and your child and allow for unstructured fun? The benefits of a laid-back day can’t be underestimated.

By embracing simple pleasures, you’ll likely find that your child is more relaxed, more present, and actually happier. And you’ll feel more connected too.
