Summer vacation is coming, these 4 things cannot be ignored, the more parents pay attention to their children, the better

As we all know, off-campus tuition institutions are the most likely to create summer anxiety. This is not the beginning of the summer vacation some time ago, all kinds of information encouraging parents to sign up for summer classes and online classes has been overwhelming, as if parents as long as they are one step late, their children will be completely crushed by their peers and abandoned by the times.

Many parents who can't hold their breath rush to pay for summer schools for their children, and almost all of the two months are filled with these summer schools. But they completely forget that these children usually don't even want to take normal main classes well, and how can they be willing to be bound by off-campus cram classes during the summer vacation?

This year is the fifth year that I have accompanied my daughter for the summer vacation, and unlike many parents who are busy signing up for summer schools for their children, I pay more attention to the experience of their children's diversified growth in the summer, the consolidation of good habits, and the development and training of innovative thinking.

In my opinion, these four things parents cannot ignore during the summer vacation, and the more parents pay attention to it, the better the child will be.

01 Maintain a regular summer vacation schedule

One of the biggest problems encountered during the summer vacation every year is the disordered schedule.

Usually fall asleep at nine o'clock at night, get up at seven o'clock, summer vacation has become three more midnight sleepless, the sun shines three rods and does not get up, and in severe cases, day and night are reversed. To put it more seriously, this is simply devastating to the physical and mental health of children.

It was supposed to be a relaxed, cheerful holiday to adjust their body and mind, but at the end of the holiday, many children not only did not have full vitality, but became sluggish and looked unenergetic.

After the start of school, children who are physically and mentally exhausted will find it difficult to devote their minds to learning for a long period of time, and they can only be perfunctory to learning.

Of course, there are reasons for the poor self-discipline of the children themselves, but more because parents let their children go.

The solution is actually very simple, that is, to establish basic rules for the child including normal work and rest time at the beginning, so that the child knows that he can relax appropriately during the summer vacation, but he cannot come around and break through the basic bottom line.

At this time, parents should actively play a role in supervision and guidance.

For example, create a summer schedule with your child to clearly determine the key time periods such as waking up early, napping, and falling asleep at night. Of course, the summer schedule can be slightly more relaxed than usual, and when school is about to start, it will be adjusted back to the normal school schedule.

If children can develop a regular work and rest time at any time, it is of positive significance to their own physical and mental health development and the development of learning life.

02 Stick to summer reading

On the surface, it seems that there is a lot of free time during the summer vacation, and children should always calm down and read books that they usually don't have time to read.

But the actual result is often not like this, many children completely let go of themselves in the summer, and they simply cannot calm down and read a book.

Therefore, we will see that there are not many children who can really immerse themselves in reading in the summer, on the contrary, there are many children who play games in groups with mobile phones and tablets all day.

But there are always some sensible children who insist on reading during the summer vacation, and the insistence on reading during the summer vacation every year is that the comprehensive quality of the child in all aspects far exceeds that of his peers.

As a parent myself, I know the importance of reading for my children, and I never sign up for tuition classes for my children in the summer, but pay more attention to guiding them to read. I often take my children to the library to borrow books, go to the bookstore to buy books, carry out summer family reading sharing, etc., reading and writing have become my children's biggest hobby every summer vacation.

A very important reason for whether children can not be addicted to video games in the summer is that parents should consciously create a good reading environment for their children, including children who have a large number of good books to read, easy and free reading sharing and communication, and good examples from parents.

03 Prevent the phenomenon of "academic decline" in the summer

Many parents sign up for a lot of subject tuition classes for their children in the summer, and the important reason is that they want to use the summer vacation to study the next semester's courses in advance to achieve corner overtaking.

But in fact, there is another thing more realistic than overtaking in the summer vacation, which is that parents should prevent their children from having a "academic slide" phenomenon in the summer.

If parents let their children go unchecked during the summer, or do not have a good summer plan, then children with insufficient self-discipline will relax their requirements for themselves during this period, which is concentrated in "only play without learning".

Learning is like sailing against the tide, and if you don't advance, you will retreat. Once children relax their requirements for themselves in the summer, learning will soon take a big step backwards, resulting in knowledge forgetting, loss of learning ability, and collapse of study habits.

In my opinion, parents should do a good job of prevention in the summer, balance the degree of children's "learning and playing", cannot favor any party, and pay attention to cultivating children's habits of continuous learning and even lifelong learning. Let children realize that even during the summer vacation, basic study habits and requirements should be consistent as usual.

For children, in addition to completing the summer vacation homework assigned by the teacher every day, it is also necessary to check and fill in the gaps in weak subjects, carry out reading activities, accumulate some ancient poems and literary famous texts every day, practice words, develop and train mathematical thinking, carry out some of their favorite creations, expand their interests and hobbies, etc., avoid fishing for three days and drying nets for two days, and maintain a regular learning rhythm.

Of course, for the characteristics of the summer, this learning rhythm does not need to be too intense, it can be moderately relaxed, fine water and long flow, steady growth, conducive to the next semester of integration.

04 Take your children out of the house and feel the colorful world outside

In the hot summer weather, many children like to stay at home, to be precise, hiding in air-conditioned rooms. Although staying at home is a last resort, the common problem now is that most children who stay at home are chasing dramas or addicted to video games.

This situation naturally raises concerns among parents, but it does not seem realistic to ban it completely. This requires us parents to guide our children and encourage them to go out of the house with measures to prevent heat and sun.

For example, parents can take their children to various exhibition halls to visit and experience, such as science and technology museums, cultural centers, history museums, folk museums, calligraphy and painting museums, etc.

Parents can also take their children to visit zoos, botanical gardens, amusement parks, etc.

If there is a free gymnasium (field) in the local area, you can also take your children to these places to play ball and sweat.

Children may have been to these places a few times, but this is not a problem, our purpose is not to let children stay at home all day playing with mobile phones and watching TV, but to take them outdoors to experience the colorful world and the beauty of nature...

In addition, parents taking their children out for activities is also a kind of companionship, which is conducive to enhancing the harmony of parent-child relationship.
