Children’s Liturgy
“This week’s Gospel we learn how God loved us so much He sent His only son to lay down His life for us, His friends. That’s amazing! And He wants us to love each too.
This beautiful bookmark we are making at Sunday’s Children’s Liturgy is a great reminder when we may forget. We would love for you to join us at the 10am mass.”
Student and Family Counsellor Olivia
After school exhaustion
Dear Parents and Carers,
As restrictions ease and schedules fill up it can be a lot on you as parents as well as on your children. It can be easy to grab every opportunity, especially those we haven’t been able to do for so long, but make sure you take time to rest too!
Monitor how your kids are going and if you are observing that post-school restraint collapse happening more than just occasionally, it is time to scale things back.
Here’s some tips to help make late afternoons more peaceful when your child is exhausted from school: Expect kids to fall apart – Your child might hold it all together and be on their best behaviour at school and then the minute they get home they go off the rails. This is normal behaviour. Your child works so hard to follow all the rules and have so many social interactions that they need to let it out
at some point. Plan for downtime – School days are draining and your child needs to rest. When you notice a pattern of after-school meltdowns, clear their afternoon/evening schedule for the week where possible. Postpone the playdates, skip the supermarket visit on the way home, and go straight home and let your child unwind. Have a healthy snack ready – Your child might not eat enough at school. Drinking and eating are social in nature, and children just tend to snack until they are comfortable. Be prepared for their hangry side to come out and be ready with a nutrient dense snack. Don’t take it personally – You’re probably so excited to see your child/ren at the end of the day to give them a hug and find all about what they got up to at school. Then you pick them up and they are tired and limited in what they want to share, making you feel disappointed or rejected. It’s not about you, give them space, time, rest and food.
Sensory play – Make a bath with lots of bubbles, play some calming music or try some DIY sensory activities that are easy (although not always mess free!). For sensory play ideas Click Here
