This summer, students can participate in educational programs.
Here are some fun educational activities that parents can use to keep their children engaged during this summer break.
Summer vacation is widely regarded as one of the most crucial breaks for students. And parents can take advantage of this time period to improve their children’s talents, instill new learnings, and assist them in adapting to new activities.
It has been observed that in the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic, not only parents suffered, but students were the worst sufferers, as they were unable to follow their basic routine activities and, due to the continuous opening and closing of schools, students were also unable to focus on their studies and other co-curricular activities.
To help students to boost their confidence and make them ready for the coming future, it is the need of an hour that parents should adopt some habits that will make their students mentally and physically active.
India Today spoke to some of the experts and mothers to get a fair idea about how parents can keep their children engaged in fun activities during this summer vacation and make the long break academically productive too.
With offline school once again starting, students are starting to get used to their earlier routines and with that, parents are getting back to their earlier rhythms. This vacation, I’m looking forward to some travel to see relatives we haven’t seen in years owing to the travel ban,” she added. “Not too many activities, but routine ones like going to the park every day, unwinding with some animation flicks, and not overplanning the day so the youngster gets bored!” Why children should be bored is a broader discussion for another day, but let’s just say that the best ideas come from boredom!” she added.
“They should also be motivated to read exciting books, write daily journals and watch educational documentaries that can be helpful in nurturing their knowledge base during the long break,” she added.
“One thing the last couple of epidemic summers taught me is how little leisure children get during formal, regimented schooling – and what wonderful things they learn and create when they have more of it,” a parent noted.
“So, before real physical-classroom teaching returns, I want to protect his downtime and help him become more aware of how crucial it is to balance your leisure and interest areas, as well as your must-dos,” she added.
“Admittedly, it comes naturally to him to disregard the musts, but I don’t want him to feel guilty about it because it is so easy for grownups to prioritize formal ‘learning’ goals over all else,” she added.
