This past week's trip was postponed because they were so tired from going non-stop. They weren't processing information and change well.
If you don't have enough time to meet them (you children) where they are at, emotionally...you might be too busy. I was fortunate enough to have a flexible schedule so I could halt for an unexpected hiccup.
Parents, staying busy and keeping your kids ping-ponging from one activity to another all summer, isn't always best. I'm a firm believer that a good laugh, some quality time and a good sleep will cure a lot. (A homemade meal doesn't hurt either)
Take time to notice them. Just be with them. Conversation is optional. It's worth it! Nurture a soul, not manage an inconvenience.
