Family Love & Parenting

 When my sister and her husband both got jobs in the city, their schedules were very hectic, and their house became a mess. They wanted to keep their home clean but did not know how to cover the whole house in such a short window of time. They also wanted a simple cleaning schedule as they were too tired to do any deep cleaning every day after work. So, I looked up some articles online and found this article that spoke about tips on how to make a simple cleaning schedule for working couples and a readymade schedule as well. I showed it to my sister, and she and her husband used it every day and were so happy to see it work. If you are also in the same situation, you should follow the schedule in this article to keep a clean and neat home. https://www.bondcleaninginmelbourne.com.au/a-simple-cleaning-schedule-for-working-couples/

 Planning family holidays with children Whether you’re staying in one place or exploring several places, holidays with children are about planning for short attention spans and short travel times. Here are some top tips: Plan more breaks and fewer activities than you would if you were travelling on your own or with adults. Make sure you have plenty of stops for meals and drinks to keep everyone’s energy levels up. Look for activities and local attractions to keep children entertained – for example, swimming, games, playgrounds, carnivals, fun parks and movies.

 Relationships with parents and families: how they change in adolescence Teenagers’ relationships with their parents and families change during adolescence, but teenagers need parent and family support as much as they did when they were younger. When your child was young, your role was to nurture and guide them. Now you might be finding that your relationship with your child is becoming more equal. You’re a source of care, emotional support, security and safety for your child, as well as practical and financial help. Your child still loves you and wants you to be involved in their life – even though their attitude or behaviour might sometimes send a different message.

 Booking family travel by plane, train or bus If you’re booking family travel by plane, train or bus, here are things to consider: Timing: if you can, it’s good to book flights or train or bus trips for times when your child is likely to be well rested. Seating arrangements: check whether you can book seats with more room for babies and children. On planes, you might be able to book bassinettes for babies. Choose aisle seats so it’s easier for your child to get to the toilet. Toilets and change rooms: check whether there are child-friendly toilets and change rooms on board, and whether you can book seats near them. Food: for plane travel you might be able to pre-order children’s meals. For bus and train travel, check whether you can buy food on board.
