Thousands of parents around the country are all pondering a similar question right now: How are we going to cope with school holidays? Money correspondent Susan Edmunds spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
School holidays are the bane of a business owner's existence.It took me a number of years to find a rhythm that works for me so if you're in the early years of running your business, you're probably wondering how on earth this all works!How do you run a business while the kids are at home bouncing off the walls and manage it all without going crazy?Like I said, it took me a few years to find the right balance but after some experimenting, my family has landed in a rhythm that works for us. When I first started my business, my initial vision was to enjoy every school holiday with the family. So every school holidays, I cleared my calendar completely. Although this sounds great in theory, the reality was quite different. While it worked wonders for my family, it left me feeling exhausted having to work twice as hard after the holidays. Avoiding work entirely during the holidays just wasn't feasible for me so we had to find a different solution. Now, I clear the first week of every school holiday for quality family time. During this week, I don't do any work and we lap up the fun.During the second week, I keep my schedule light, still making time for my daughter but also spending a few hours each day on business tasks. The beauty of running your own business is that it's possible to take your laptop down to the beach and enjoy the best of both worlds.Juggling business and family is undeniably challenging, but with thoughtful planning and a flexible mindset, it can be exceptionally rewarding. What's your plan for the Christmas holidays?

Ships: 1/10 Two in a week with issues, one admittedly more serious than the other. What is it with this country and ships? Nobel Prizes: 8/10 They get scant coverage in a world that has never been more desperate for brilliance and individuality and the celebration of the human spirit and achievement. Home ownership: 8/10 Surely the hero number out of the census - more of us own a home. That's not what the rhetoric will tell you. Keir Starmer: 3/10 Have you ever seen a politician take a victory the size of his and cock it up quite so quickly? Jimmy Spithill: 7/10 Good guy, great athlete and a very big contributor to the America's Cup. He's quite possibly leaving a bit too soon. School holidays: 6/10 They're almost over.

At the end of each week, Mike Hosking takes you through the big-ticket items and lets you know what he makes of it all. The school holidays: 7/10 760,000 will fly these next two weeks, which doesn't include the thousands who have already flown from private school, which doesn't include the thousands who drive. We love travel, even in a cost-of-living crisis. Joe Biden: 1/10 Debates rarely turn out much but this time last week the world changed. Deciding to stay is a massive mistake his party will pay a price for. Rishi Sunak: 4/10 Worked hard to limit the damage, but is the classic victim of the bloke who came along at the end of the chain and is there when the hammer goes down. Emmanuel Macron: 2/10 Idiotic move of the year. The Tories were always going to get smashed but the Europe vote didn't need to lead to what he then did. And this Sunday he will see how bad that mistake was. Newshub: 4/10 It's been dragged out too long with far too much gnashing and wailing from people who still think they are a mile more important than they are. The fact is they couldn't get an audience to attract the ads to pay the bills. You monetise or die. But less media is not good so ultimately we are all losers. The All Blacks: 7/10 The first test is always full of anticipation and England are a good way to start as we welcome in the Razor years.

The uplifting story of the week for me is the 30% drop in parents taking kids out of school for holidays. It's a single metric and it's one travel agency, albeit a big one, so it's hardly scientific and about to be published in the Lancet. But it's an insight into what might be happening and, even if it is remotely accurate, it's a sign of several things. Firstly, the power and necessity of Government. Think about it - all David Seymour said was get your kids to school, harden up, we will start keeping data and we will hold schools and you to account. Like magic, a problem, if not solved, was starting to get addressed. A Government is leadership and leadership in many, many areas is clearly needed. Which is a depressing thought for a person like me. I like to believe in self-determination and self-starting. More 'you' and less Government. But in a collective sense, we are only as strong as the weakest link and in social experiment terms what we have seen in recent years in all sorts of areas is if you let the discipline and the leadership slip, all social hell breaks loose. The presence of police works, as we heard the cop say this week. It's based on the British system, which is over 100 years old. Presence and visibility works and that's not hard to figure out. The testing in schools they announced yesterday will have the same effect. If you offer excuses, if you can't be bothered, if you let the guidelines slip there are those who revel in being ordinary, if not hopeless. You could, and I do, argue that schools should have driven the absenteeism solution themselves. But they didn't. But when they were told to, it works. What a surprise. What about cellphones in schools. Was it the calamitous mess they predicted? No. Why haven't you heard even a peep? Because it works and all it needed was a bit of discipline and a bit of leadership. These are the small battles where the tangible outworkings provide hope. A lot of people wondered, and wondered very loudly, whether the state of the country was so bad it might take years to fix, if it was even possible to fix it at all. Well these examples this week I think are a good guide that we might actually be seeing some fruits of some labour. Keep it simple, work hard and expect more. You'll be amazed.

With school holidays just around the corner, it's time to talk about how to manage business + family time effectively. In my latest podcast episode, I share how I set up my business to support me taking time away for the school holidays
The Government crackdown on truancy could be causing a drop in families taking holidays during term time. Flight Centre data shows a 30% reduction in bookings during the school term compared to last year. At the same time, bookings during July's school holidays are up 10%. General Manager Heidi Walker told Mike Hosking that the old excuse of it being more expensive to travel in the holidays is unfortunately true. She said that prices rise due to supply and demand, as more people are wanting to travel to those family destinations during the school holidays. However, Walker said, booking as far in advance as you can is your best bet to get a good deal. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Teaching is the job that's never done! There are always numerous invisible tasks that need to be done, and very often the only time to do them is over weekends or during the holidays. But teachers desperately need time to decompress and recharge those spent batteries. So, what should they be doing over the holidays and how can holidays be put to good use not just to relax but also to prepare for the term or year ahead.In this episode we look at the types of things teachers could do to relax, things like getting outside, watching movies, cooking and spending time with loved ones.But when it's time to think about preparing for going back to school, what's the best way of doing that?
