The invisible work is the thinking, planning and remembering, not just the doing. Tick who carries each one today, then talk about what to rebalance.

Small, screen-free things that keep little minds busy in the holidays. Cut them out, drop them in a jar, and pull one when “I’m bored” strikes.
A tiny weekly ritual that sets the week up before it starts. Run through it together with a coffee on Sunday evening.
| Look at the week ahead. Anything new, moved or clashing? | |
| Name the dinners. Even just three. Add to the list. | |
| Check the kit. Sports, school, parties — what’s needed? | |
| Share the jobs. Who’s on drop-off, pick-up and bedtime? | |
| One thing for you. Book a little me-time in, on purpose. | |
| One nice thing. Something to look forward to together. |
