#134 - Back To School Reflections — On Time Warps, Fleeting Friendships and Designing A Summer You Actually Enjoy

<p>Alex and I are back reflecting on the summer holidays that have somehow came to an end.</p><p>Six weeks of keeping the children entertained, going on adventures, meeting strangers at parks and soft plays, making fleeting friendships that lasted an afternoon and somehow meant gave us something.</p><p>We both made a deliberate choice to prioritise time with our children this summer. And to also make sure we got something out of it too.</p><p>In this episode:→ How we kept the kids entertained → Why we both deliberately stepped back from work and made peace with that choice→ The fleeting friendships our children made — and what those short term connections teach them about people→ Designing a summer you actually enjoy and the sacrifices that make it happen</p><p>And now we are back to school wondering how we ended up here so fast.</p><p>That is the parenting time warp. And we cannot un-see it. </p>
