Today we had a "mental health day". In the lead up to the end of the year my pre-primary boy is tired, which shows up in many different ways. Rather than push through until the end of the term I offered him a day off which he agreed he needed.
We went for a bush walk which I'm not going to lie was a challenge, there was lots of emotions and whinning, but we push through and it worked as a nice reset which was my intention.
A day to take things at his own pace, a day of not being told what to do, a day of not taking on other people's stress, a most importantly a day with his safety net.
A little reminder to have compassion for your little ones leading into the silly season, they are already tired after a year of school.
Much love, Ashley β€οΈ
