In the summer school to be!
To remember school subjects in the summer or not,Each family decides for itself. Some parents immediately after the last bell happily rub their hands and forget about school until September 1, while others write a plan of activities for their children for the summer already on June 1. Before asking the question of whether it is necessary to test the child with activities during the summer holidays, decide why your child goes to school. Of course, if you answer that only excellent studies, exams and tests passed with high scores can make your child successful in the future, then your position is “never stop studying for a minute.” Children of such parents do not know what a full-fledged rest is. In the summer, they continue to study with tutors, attend language groups and master new subjects. One mother on the forum is convinced that a child is quite capable of forgetting how to read in three months, so she makes a list of books for her son for the summer holidays, and then makes him write a mini-essay on each of them. Another mother shared an equally democratic approach, confident that school, like training, should not be missed under any circumstances. She arranges specialized weeks for her child: first they immerse themselves in Russian, then in mathematics, then they remember a foreign language, and so on all summer. Of course, these children quietly hate their parents. But there is a way out. If you want your child not to neglect the school program over the summer, play educational games with him. In the evening, with the whole family, over tea and pie, lay out a board game in which it is possible to count or make words from letters, and spend time cheerfully and usefully, and the child will not even understand that this is a kind of training of his knowledge.

- If we talk about what is best for the childin the summer: rest or study, then I definitely for the rest! For a quality stay. Especially if it concerns children from primary school. A good, valuable rest is important first of all for the health of the child - both physical and mental. And brain overloads at this age are fraught with terrible and irreversible consequences. The way a child's summer vacation will have a direct impact on what kind of education it will be. Therefore, 1. "Summer should be in the summer!" Take away all the prescriptions, notebooks and textbooks. Give the child a break and reboot. He is worthy of it! 2. During the summer holidays, remember the topic of the school only in a positive way. Make pleasant purchases for school. Moreover, in advance it is much cheaper than in the last days before the school. Let the preparation for the new school year be both for you and the child a pleasant occupation, anticipation of something interesting, unexpected, new. Plan the rest of the child. But even if you do not have the opportunity to go somewhere to rest, give your son and daughter warm memories, bathe him in emotions. Even if it is an ordinary trip to the park with eating sweet cotton wool or a picnic in nature. It is such meetings, such communication is remembered to children best and nourishes them for a long time. No phrases such as "You're already big, you're going to school soon!" You must study! "," You must think about studying. " A child should not think that school is a punishment and a term of 11 years. Let him smoothly enter the role of a student, do not rush. Do not discourage the desire to learn negative associations. This is especially true for future first-graders. And most importantly, remember that the school is not all in the life of the child! Much more important is your relationship, mutual understanding, his trust and peace in the family. A similar point of view is also the teacher of the elementary school of Elena Borodina.
— Summer holidays are a unique time.Children want to take a break from school and get as many positive emotions as possible in just three months. As a teacher, I do not approve of doing school assignments throughout the summer holidays. However, you should not completely abandon learning. A few weeks before the start of the new school year, I recommend reviewing previously acquired knowledge in order to avoid a sharp transition from active recreation to an intensive school schedule. And, of course, summer holidays are a great time to read not only recommended school literature, but also books for the soul.
