Schools are gone (or going) by the end of the week

Schools are gone (or going) by the end of the week. 🏫 Whether your child likes or hates school this is a big change. They are likely to have a reaction- maybe more irritable, maybe upset. Encourage them to talk about it, and just listen. It’s also stressful for many parents- can you work? Juggling work from home is not easy. How do you get childcare? Filter a little what you say - they need to know that the adults will manage this and they are safe. 💙 💚 💛 💜 Tonight a little self care, for you and your little ones. Stop, breathe, eat something comforting, have a bath, tomorrow you can make a plan. How are you taking care of yourself tonight? #morethansurvive2020

Let’s do more than survive this, let’s find a

Let’s do more than survive this, let’s find a way to thrive. We need our kids (and our own) mental health and emotional wellbeing to be supported through this. There’s lots of chat about home schooling and yes education is important but we need to help them develop the resilience they will need going forward. Children’s mental health is vital for now and for the future. It’s something I’m passionate about (and my day job is a children’s mental health practitioner) and is a big part of why we started our #screenfreeadventures I’m going to share some tips and ideas on how we promote positive mental health over the uncertain times ahead, please join in, share your ideas and together we can #morethansurvive2020

These relaxed happy faces in the sun feels like it

These relaxed happy faces in the sun feels like it was in a different world. I’m so thankful we made it South Africa before the world went crazy. We’ve been quiet, due to working in the NHS and all the planning going on. So much for a better work life balance after my trip!
We plan to continue to share our South Africa adventures, but also some suggestions and ideas on how to support our kids to navigate these days and have some screen free adventures much much more locally! How do you plan to adjust to life over the next while?

As the sunsets on our African adventure one thing

As the sunsets on our African adventure one thing I’m certain, we will be back. It’s been an incredible experience for all three little adventurers, opening their eyes and hearts to our planet more. We’ve had lots of messages about our itinerary and how we’ve done everything so when we are home we will share more about the trip and how you can do it too.

Wandering through the forest looking for and findi

Wandering through the forest looking for and finding many monkeys just swinging their way through the trees with my monkeys. We had a really fun morning @saasa_monkeyland learning about all the different types- they were so incredibly active! You can get tickets that cover entrance here, @saasa_birdsofeden and @saasa_jukani which makes for a really fun animal filled day. Great opportunity to learn about these animals that have been rescued in a respectful way without them being exploited which seems to be frequent across South Africa. Thanks for hosting us. #gifted

Flying through the treetops on a high ropes course

Flying through the treetops on a high ropes course in the forest canopy in South Africa. Mr 6 was delighted with himself! 10 zip lines high above the forest floor the 3 little adventures had an awesome day whizzing through trees that are 600 years plus. The discussion of snakes scared them more than the rest! @canopytoursa Bungee jumping next?

What’s better than running down huge sand dunes

What’s better than running down huge sand dunes with friends on our last night in Port Elizabeth! These guys have had an amazing time catching up with old friends and making new ones. We are back on our roadtrip tomorrow. Sardinia Bay is spectacular!
