Description

This week Frankie Tortora and Steve Folland have a chat in response to a question from project manager and editor Rose Parkin. She says:“Talk to me about school holidays.We’re currently in the second week of Easter, but the summer break is looming.Both me and my partner are freelance and we have two kids aged 5 and 8. We don't tend to do a huge amount of holiday clubs (maybe 1-2 days a week at most) so the kids end up having a fair bit of screen time so that we can juggle work, cooking, house chores and our own downtime.Our routine tends to be 7-8am TV, then 'full on' parenting (with one parent, then the other) until 3pm, then they have an hour of technology time, then a film.Today I'm seriously feeling the guilt of them being in front of screens and missing out on the sunshine. I’m interested to know how others juggle holidays and maintain some flexibility while also having some structure to ensure work gets done?!Is that too much to ask??”What would your advice be?
