School holidays or routine holidays?!
Just when you think the kiddies are back at school, end of term jumps up on us!
The schooling population is taking a two week break from maths, english and school yard games. Mums and dads all the while going grey, to school holiday mayhem where routine is also taking some time off!
Bad habits die old, so don't let the kids just sit on the lounge during the school holidays: get them out into the fresh air enjoying some great autumn activities and keep up that routine.
In this issue of Parents Club Newsletter, you can read the benefits of routine in children's lives. Take some of the chaos of having all the kids at home by establishing some routine and ritual in their day. Check out The Positives of Routines and Rituals for some of the benefits this will bring to your life, and your child's.
As a little thank you to all our Parenting Club members, you might also like to take advantage of this month's special offer. All Aboard! CD and instrument set is over 30% off and will help keep the wee ones entertained these holidays. For something for the older kids, browse our online store for more fun and educational holiday activities. |

 Magically Transforming Routine
Some parents seem to have a magic touch when it comes to helping children stay calm, happy, and cooperative. For many with this talent, the secret is their use of routines and rituals. We know that routines are important to the very youngest. Your newborn baby came into the world with natural sleeping, eating, and alert patterns. At first, you follow your newborn's lead, and then—over the ensuing months—you guide the creation of routines dependent on your parenting choices and style. The structure and predictability of these routines are essential elements in providing your baby a sense of security and comfort.

 Creating an Oasis of Routines and Rituals
Toddlerhood is an emotionally turbulent time, full of temper tantrums, irrational fears, and fierce independence, coupled with hugs, clinging behaviours, and boastful “Me do it!” statements. The routines and rituals you establish can be crucial during this time. At a time full of change, growth, joy, and frustration, your daily routines can be a calming oasis for your child, and act like a secure base to venture forth successfully and then return.

 The Positives of Routines and Rituals
Your preschooler thrives and grows in an environment that includes repetition, routines, and rituals. These events provide great opportunities for your preschool-aged child to try out more complex social interactions and positive behaviour patterns. If playing simple board or card games is a family ritual at your house or a familiar part of her preschool activities, your child is learning many social interactive skills such as turn-taking, helping others, sharing, waiting, and following rules.

 Why Routines are Important for the Whole Family
It makes sense that family life could be chaotic without some routine. But research has shown that there is more to it than that. Routines let your children know what is important to your family. When they are highly meaningful, routines are sometimes referred to as rituals and these play an important role in strengthening shared beliefs and values, and building a sense of belonging and cohesion in families.

Judith Hulson-Calvert - Central Coast, NSW
Judith Hulson-Calvert was born and raised in South Wales (a very musical country!), U.K. At the tender age of 4, her preschool teacher suggested to her mother that she had a “musical” ear and should consider piano lessons. Judith completed her Grade 8 piano and theory of Music with the Royal Schools of Music and became an Associate of the London College of Music in 1981. Judith also completed a BA in German and Modern Literature at the University of East Anglia, Norwich, U.K. in 1984.
