The much-anticipated summer vacation has finally arrived. In this article, I wanted to answer the question of how our child should spend his summer vacation.
Make a plan for summer vacation.
Mother, father and child's expectations regarding summer vacation may be different from each other, so make a plan first. Doing this can prevent disappointments and conflicts during the holiday period.
Children's thoughts come first.
The priority in this planning should be to learn what the child wants to do during the holiday. Asking for their opinions on the time they spend watching television, playing the computer or spending time with their friends will make them feel valuable. Apart from these fun things, their opinions can be asked about sports activities, musical instruments or branches of art in which they want to improve themselves.
Then the family's expectations.
After discussing the child's thoughts and dreams about summer, the family's expectations about summer are discussed. should be presented. Movies you want to watch together, places you want to visit and see (museums-toy museum, science center) can be discussed. If there are tests and homework that teachers want to be done during the summer period, the child's planning and ideas on this subject can be taken. Programs that will be made in the form of tasks and then entertainment during the holiday period can be implemented more easily for the child.
Understanding their expectations does not mean removing all limits.
Talking about our child's expectations does not mean allowing them to watch television or play on the computer for hours. . More flexible and increased hours can be given compared to the school period, but there should be limits.
The balance of entertainment and education should be well established.
Summer vacation should be an enjoyable and entertaining time period for the child. While providing education, it is important to present it in an entertaining way and to encourage learning through experience and living. In this regard, summer schools that include both education and entertainment in their program can be a good alternative.
Skill areas can be explored.
Home activities or courses that will improve themselves in areas they are interested in or feel skilled in. conceivable. The confidence and skills they gain here may enable them to know themselves better.
Reading time may be considered.
Books they find enjoyable and want to read. Family reading hours can be implemented by selecting Time can be allocated for activities that will develop their imagination and games to be played as a family.
They can gain responsibility thanks to a holiday away from the family.
Children can go on holiday, even for a short time, to a close relative or friend that their families deem appropriate. . He can prove to himself and his family how much he has grown with the responsibilities they will take on here (making the bed, helping to set and remove the table, coming home at the given time, etc.).
I wish everyone a happy and pleasant holiday. Best wishes...
