We've just finished the longest school holidays in the history of school holidays.
Except, apparently we didn't. I googled it and it turns out it was a normal length, it just felt VERY long.
And naturally after a few weeks, bad habits set in.
We started with one TV show before dinner just to kill time, but by month two of the holiday marathon, screens were becoming the sixth (and seventh and eighth and ninth) member of our household.
Then I thought: time for a change. And I decided we'd go device-free for a week so the kids could spend more time engaged in physical play.
