Here's tip number two to help you get some work done during the summer holidays!

2. GETTING TOO INVOLVED

It is easy to sit and play and entertain our kids but when it comes to stepping away, leaving the room, even to go to the toilet this can sometimes be challenging

We want to be involved but we also want some time to ourselves to make a quick phone call or respond to an email or order

Ensuring to encourage kids to play independently is essential, both for their own development and also for our sanity

No child likes it when we mess up their tower, so we should leave them too it and take a step back

Build independent play into our daily routines and use the time to get some work done
