Non-strict holiday vacation
If you really want to make your life easier in September, you need to start preparing now. That way, you won't have to start the school year from scratch.Katie Perekrest
"Summer was invented in order for the children to rest,They breathed fresh air and ran barefoot in the village at their grandmother's or at the sea. But something can still be done so that the return to study is not stress. First, it is a mode. The expert advises to adhere to the usual daily routine of the child, then not to torment him and not to rebuild anew. But do not be afraid sometimes to break it. Inga Gorbunova:
- Summer is an occasion for fun and new knowledge! Sometimes you need to relax and just play with the baby. It is always useful, always development. And more physical activity, it is she - the basis for the development of children up to 7 - 8 years.
Right attitude
Getting back into the swing of things is always easier if you approach everything with a positive attitude. Don't treat studying as if it were an annoying and burdensome chore.Katty Perekrest:– Don't spend the whole summer preachingask if the child misses lessons. Remember how much you want to go to work when you are on vacation. Let's live in the moment with our little ones, swim and eat strawberries from the garden. And you can unobtrusively remind them about school in a playful way. For example? For example, you can play a role-playing game where the child is a strict teacher, and you are a diligent or careless student. The main thing is that you both have fun, and the child will have positive associations with school. Inga Gorbunova:- Remember, the whole world is a huge developingoccupation, just do not waste time on walks, on the road, in conversation. Play on the move in "Guess what I see", in the city, count the steps, tell the child legends about the places where you rest - you can do a lot of useful things in the usual route from home to the beach.
Homework has not been canceled
Games are games, but the summer reading list and other tasks will not be cancelled. Help your child enjoy the process!Katty Perekrest:— All children love filling out achievement charts. And if you leave space for stickers, achieving goals will seem like a fun game, and your learning system will work on its own.Inga Gorbunova:- Build in the most vivid elements of the familiar(club or home) in your daily vacation life: the usual songs anywhere, favorite cards on the road, finger games before bed, etc. Another tip: just be attentive to the baby. If he has the mood to draw, draw. Singing - sing. Dance - dance. If not - then leave it alone, the world will not collapse. Kathy Cross:— Take cues from the French.They set certain tasks for their children, but do not set limits within these tasks. For example, a child reads every evening, but he chooses what he reads himself. Giving a child freedom of choice is a great way to his self-organization in all types of activities.
