Let’s face it, by the time schools break up for the Christmas holidays everyone’s a bit tired of working, so it’s the perfect time to chill and let the kids learn and develop as they play.
With so much going on, finding time to keep up regular reading habits with your children during the school holidays can be tricky. Especially if you're travelling around the country visiting family and friends, and the children are more interested in counting down the days to Christmas and seeing how late they can stay up!
As the days grow shorter, stay healthy and entice your family to keep exercising and enjoying fresh air, however tempting it may be to hibernate indoors!
