In the exhibition area of the history of the millennium examination, Dong Shu, a parent from Huai'an, took her son to carefully understand the historical development of the ancient Chinese imperial examination system and the examination system. "Bringing children to experience the thousand-year-old imperial examination culture has a different meaning. I think that various museums are a good place to 'walk the baby' on holidays and long holidays, which can not only broaden their horizons, but also expand the depth of children's thinking. ”
Family trips bring full popularity. On the morning of September 20, the "net red punch point" squirrel click park in Nanjing Jiangning Valley ushered in a large number of parent-child families.

Of course, there are also some families who used to "celebrate the festival" in the tutoring class, and now they can only "squat at home". There are also many people on the Internet who joke that after the holiday after the landing of the "double reduction" policy, everything is very OK, that is, a little "fee parents".
So in the face of such a large amount of seemingly extravagant free time, how to use it? How to better carry out parent-child companionship?

Yin Fei, a professor at the School of Educational Sciences of Nanjing Normal University, said that the purpose of the "double reduction" policy is to return learning to school and life to the family. "For example, many parents think that their children's composition is not well written, because there is less tutoring class, but in fact, it is because of the lack of life experience and experience, and there is no source of water."
At the same time, parents should actively plan holiday arrangements with their children. "For example, the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday should experience the emotion of family reunion and the inheritance of traditional culture, and the National Day holiday should carry out patriotic education." According to the characteristics of different festivals, the holiday arrangement is planned, and the passive arrangement of the previous tutoring class is changed to the active preset. Yin Fei believes that the high-quality companionship of parents can make children's lives more fulfilling and exciting on weekends and holidays.
