Tantrums & Cancelled Camping Trip: Why We Stayed Home

We are all set for our short camping trip but, after a tough week, our son reached his limits and craved the comfort of home. Disappointing, yes. But seeing his exhaustion, the decision was clear: his wellbeing came first.

This unexpected change of plans became a lesson in listening and adapting. We missed the campfire, but gained a memory of empathy, growth, and prioritising emotional and physical wellbeing.
Parenting is messy and things don’t always go as planned, but the connections make it worth it.
