A little predictability, a little flexibility, and some breathing room for everyone.
Half term can be a welcome break from the demands of school. But for neurodivergent girls, the change in routine, uncertainty about what’s happening next, and pressure to make the most of the holidays can sometimes feel overwhelming.
For parents, there’s often a tricky balance between planning enough to provide reassurance and leaving enough space for everyone to rest.
Our Gentle Half Term Plan is a simple, printable planning sheet designed to help you find that balance.
What’s included?
This one-page printable helps you think about:
What will stay familiar - keeping a few reassuring routines in place.
Things you might enjoy - making room for activities without turning them into expectations.
Space to recover - recognising the importance of downtime and regulation.
An easier option - having a flexible alternative when plans feel too much.
Getting ready for school - gently preparing for the transition back.
A plan that works for your family
You can fill it in together with your daughter, or use it quietly to guide your own planning.
There’s no expectation to fill every space, stick rigidly to a schedule, or make every day memorable.
Sometimes the most helpful half-term plan is one that gives everyone permission to slow down.
A gentle reminder: this is a guide, not a list to complete. You can change it as you go.
