Swedes call it sista sucken ("the last sigh"), slutspurten ("the final spurt"), or de sista skälvande veckorna, ("the last trembling weeks") of the summer holidays, but whatever they're called, they can be tricky. 

Even if you've taken three or four weeks off work during the summer in Sweden, the chances are you are back in the office, or at least working from home, from the start of August. That means you have two weeks, or sometimes even three, before the start of the new school year.

We'd love to hear from readers with children about how they cope. Fill in our form below (if it doesn't pop up you can also access the survey with this link).
