Use it or lose it?
On Holiday should you maintain your children’s routine, or go with the flow and pay the price afterwards? Some parents want to preserve a hard-won routine while others, either through intent or carelessness, lose sight of theirs. We weigh up the pros and cons of both and discover how to ensure you have a relaxed holiday.
