10 ways to survive the holidays with children

The school holidays are here. So how are parents going to entertain their children in the long summer weeks ahead?

1. The B-word is the great enemy of parents in the long holiday. So gather information early to repel boredom. Leaflets, brochures, websites, those grinning family adverts in local papers. You'll never read any of them, but it'll make everyone feel like it's going to be much less dull than last year... or the year before... or the year before that.

2. Museums are so popular that in the summer months they're more or less creches with display cases. Since entrance charges were scrapped, attendances have soared. And to their credit they lay on huge numbers of special child-friendly activities. Just watch out for the struggling actors pretending to be medieval people or whatever. Over-acting and stick-on boils terrify the children.

3. Daytime television and a loop tape of DVDs? Come on, be honest. You might pretend that they've been on a summer camp with the Woodcraft Folk, but we know the truth. It's been wall-to-wall Nick Jr and Disney Playhouse. They didn't learn all the words to the CBeebies bedtime song from a woodland discovery trail.

4. Theme days can be a creative way of occupying the holiday hours. But you have to be canny about this. Pick something like pretending to be Victorians (they've all done it at primary school) and then get them living without electricity, doing chores, not speaking until they're spoken to. And everyone has to be in bed by 1901 or else they, er, turn into an Edwardian.

5. Summer schools have really taken off as a way of filling the gap for working parents. Acting, dancing, arts and crafts, football skills, languages, sailing... the list of courses is endless. Children get self-confidence and a certificate, you get a day off and the bill.

6. Long walks can be a surprise summer holiday success. Children these days are so lazy that they're more or less born with casters where their feet should be. So long walks have a number of benefits... they make children healthier, they fall asleep quicker, it costs nothing, and they might even like it.

7. Cardboard, scissors, boxes which can be turned into a Barbie dressing table... it's always a popular move when you get that Tony Hart vibe and start making things. This will consume industrial quantities of paint, paper and patience. The downside is that you'll have to throw away your whole house at the end (quicker and cheaper than trying to clear up), but it'll have kept them busy for the day.

8. Spend it in queues. Otherwise known as the "amusement park". The odd thing is that children have a much higher tolerance threshold for queuing than adults.

9. Day trips are a holiday highlight. Castles, stately homes, safari parks, the seaside. But you might have to use your PR skills. Disguise a duty call to the relatives as a magical mystery tour, they won't rumble you until it's too late.

10. Hilarious? You betcha. How could they be bored with such a hilarious parent? So show them how funny you are with a top gag. Try this one when you're queuing up at the ice cream van.
You: We're lucky to still have ice cream vans round here after what happened.
Impressionable child: Why?
You: The last driver was found dead. His body was still in the van, covered in strawberry sauce and chocolate sprinkles.
Impressionable child: What happened?
You: Police think he must have topped himself.

Happy holidays.

Our Subconscious Mind

Our Subconscious Mind
– Why It Controls You If You Don’t Control It
       
 

Our conscious mind is only a small percentage of ourselves. Most of our physical functions, such as our heart beating, our breathing, not to mention the inner workings of our cells and other vital organs, is handled by the autonomic nervous system. Our minds, meanwhile, are also run mostly on “automatic pilot.” The words we use when we speak, our emotional reactions, and even the thoughts that run through are heads during the day, are not, for the most part, consciously chosen. They are, rather, in our subconscious. The conscious mind is really the proverbial tip of the iceberg, while our subconscious is the larger part of our minds.
Since most of our feelings and behavior is controlled by the subconscious, it makes sense that, in order to make positive changes in our lives, we have to work on this aspect of ourselves. Even though our subconscious is, by definition, below the level of conscious thought, it can be consciously influenced. Just like we can consciously work at improving our physical health (even though our bodies are not run by our conscious minds) by exercising and eating the right foods, we can consciously program the subconscious.
The important thing to realize is that the thoughts, feelings and actions of most people are based on subconscious programs that were established at a very early age. There are ways to reprogram the subconscious, but it takes a certain amount of consistent effort. It also takes patience and persistence, as you cannot undo what has taken years, often decades to become your identity.
Reprogramming the subconscious mind can be done by hypnosis (including self hypnosis), meditation, affirmations and also by paying attention, moment by moment, to what you are thinking and feeling. The last one is also a kind of meditation, and perhaps the hardest of all to achieve. Your subconscious mind has been programmed by many repetitions of certain words, feelings and actions. Just like you can “program” your body to ride a bicycle or drive a car without thinking about it, you have learned to think certain thoughts and behave in a certain way. Reprogramming the subconscious is like learning any new skill. You have to consciously repeat the information over and over until the subconscious absorbs it.
While this can be challenging, especially when you are starting out, the unthinkable alternative is to be stuck with whatever limiting beliefs your subconscious has absorbed over the years. Remember, its your life.. embrace it for the better.
