Judging from the collective Facebook related screams from various parents. And the state of this households sanity. I’m convinced that Post Christmas Horrific Child Syndrome is a thing.
Post Christmas Horrific Child Syndrome, or PCHC for short is when children of a certain age realise that the presents have dried up, exciting Christmas trips are not a thing any more, and chocolate for breakfast is no longer acceptable.
Basically, Post Christmas Horrific Child Syndrome is when children are trying to accept that normality is slowly returning. This results in behavior that you wouldn’t normally have to deal with. (EG. Screaming “No don’t dance with open scissors!”)
If you are also dealing with PCHC, there is no immediate guidance here. Except of course.
Drink Wine.
Responsibly.
We aren’t there yet, but I’m expecting the arrival of PCHC will coincide with the return to school soon. Tuesday morning is gonna suck.
