Why term-time holidays can be a lifeline for children and young people with attachment needs

The holidays are over, and children are back in school – apart from the ones going on a term-time vacation.

Key Points: 
  • The holidays are over, and children are back in school – apart from the ones going on a term-time vacation.
  • It has been reported that unauthorised holidays in term time accounted for over five million lost school days in England in the 2021-22 academic year.
  • But for some children and young people, there is more to the debate than a cheap holiday and some late summer sunshine.

Attachment theory

  • My research is underpinned by attachment theory, which suggests that key adults should be available and responsive to a child’s needs.
  • In such a relationship, the child knows that if they are distressed, they can rely on their caregiver to help them feel better.
  • With consistent “good enough” parenting like this, children will develop a secure base from which to explore the world.
  • A securely attached child actively monitors their caregivers’ location while exploring, only returning if faced with a challenging situation.


But holidays can increase the amount of time that a child spends with their parents or carers, giving them the space they need to develop these important relationships.

Building bonds

  • On holiday, families can create shared, positive memories that children can draw upon for years to come.
  • Time away from routine allows parents and carers to truly attend to their child’s needs in a fun, playful, and focused way.
  • Dedicating time to building these bonds can serve children well when they are back in school.

Supreme Court considers whether to uphold law that keeps guns out of the hands of domestic abusers

The case, U.S. v. Rahimi, comes in the wake of revolutionary changes in doctrine over the past two court terms.

Key Points: 
  • The case, U.S. v. Rahimi, comes in the wake of revolutionary changes in doctrine over the past two court terms.
  • The new supermajority of six conservative justices rapidly introduced new doctrines across a range of controversies, including abortion, guns, religion and race.
  • In a revolutionary period, aggressive litigants will push the boundaries of the new doctrine, attempting to stretch it to their advantage.
  • After a period of uncertainty, a case that defines the limits on the new rule is likely to emerge.

Focus on guns

  • Zackey Rahimi is a convicted drug dealer and violent criminal who also had a restraining order in place after assaulting his girlfriend.
  • The court will decide whether the federal law prohibiting the possession of firearms by someone subject to a domestic violence restraining order violates the Second Amendment.
  • In the 2022 case of New York Rifle & Pistol v. Bruen, the court announced a new understanding of the Second Amendment.
  • If the right to carry a gun can be regulated but not eradicated, limited but not eliminated, where is the line?
  • The Rahimi case will provide a critical test of this historical approach to the boundaries of constitutional rights.
  • However, those dangers did not include domestic violence, which was not deemed the same important concern then that it is now.
  • This story incorporates sections of a previous story about the Supreme Court published on Sept. 26, 2023.
