Some parents breathe a sigh of relief on the first day of the school holidays. I am one of those parents 🙋‍♀️

Relief.
Yes.
And Joy.
Big, fizzy, can-finally-breathe joy.

No doors to get through.
No school emails to write.
Just mornings that belong to us.

We deserve this.
The pause.
The space to breathe.
The quiet joy (for two whole weeks!)

Experiencing barriers to entry this term has been an unexpected twist in what had been a positive journey for us.

This time, it’s easier — being in a specialist setting means we’re heard in ways mainstream never allowed (if only)

But specialist settings come with their own challenges, and it turns out navigating them can still take a toll on mental health.

So this Christmas, we’re holding onto the joy — and cherishing the quiet relief that comes with it 🎉
