Surviving School holidays

CharliesDad

Hi,

As you know it is the school holidays, that's six weeks of finding something to do for our son. My wife is stuck at home with him, while I go to work. And she is finding it hard to not only find things to do for him and cope with the time with him, he gets agressive, always wants something to eat and if they do go somewhere he could want to leave after 5 mins.

I could use any advice on what I can do to help her, or suggestions for what we can do for him over the holidays.

As I said I'm at work and she is at home, and I feel very bad that I can't do more to help her, we speak via IM and she tells me what he's up to (e.g. destroying his bedroom) and there's nothing I can do. So does anyone have any advice on what I could possibly do.

Thanks

  • Sorry I don't know..best thing would be to ask your most local NAS group what they offer and go along to a playscheme.

    Or alternatively ring the NAS helpline to see what they say.

    I am shattered today too as my son got over tired and stressy..by 3.30 I had a migraine from being asked the same question endlessly.

    Usuallly help within the home is hard fought for if the service even exisits..Homestart do offer help but this usually stops when the child reaches school age (5).

    They would be a good place to ring as they usually network with other agencies and are very helpful.

    I think realistically most that you tend to get offered is 'play and stay' based.
