Than to take the child on vacation

A photo: Gettyimages Where to go The easiest way is to deal with the nursery if someone else is using this service. There's almost no vacations there, if they close the nursery, then for a week or two at the request of SanPiN. With kindergartens, all individually - some go on vacation, some just for a little while. But with the students everything is much more intricate. Three months is not just for you. It is necessary to figure out who, when and where to send, so that everyone was in their places. It's good when there are grandparents - this is supervision, and feeding is better than you can imagine, and health-improving leisure in the form of weeding, watering, digging and what else sometimes in the garden. Traditional grandmother (with pies and a kerchief) will be hundreds of times better than any nanny, and parents are so calmer, knowing that next to the child is always a native person.Photo:GettyimagesIf grandparents are unavailable for some reason, children's camps come to the rescue. The most convenient option is a school camp, where children spend most of the day. Teachers usually organize a cultural program and conduct creative activities with children. Future teachers often undergo professional practice in school camps, who are ready to diversify the daily leisure of your children as much as possible for a positive assessment. However, it is worth inquiring in advance about what the food will be like and making sure that the menu is not limited to sandwiches and juice. With certain financial costs, you can enroll your child in a country summer camp for three shifts - this is almost the entire summer with short breaks. The advantages here are control by educators and counselors, a closed area, good food, organized leisure. But there are also disadvantages. For example, you will rarely see your child. In addition, be prepared for a protest: not every schoolchild will want to spend so much time away from home, because he may have his own plans and friends in the city. Besides, no one has cancelled preparations for the new school year.A photo: Gettyimages But even one shift, which is 18-20 days, will greatly simplify the planning of the summer holidays. For the remaining time, you can adjust the schedule of parental leave. It's just wonderful if Mom and Dad have the opportunity to rest for 28 days. However, now it is a rarity, as a rule, you can leave on vacation for 2, maximum 3 weeks. But if you arrange holidays one after another - at first one parent does not work, then another - you can minimize the number of days when the child will be unattended. In this case, there is an option to ask a reliable neighbor to sit with the baby. But it must be a very reliable neighbor, whom you trust. Well, you can try to leave a fairly responsible child at home alone. Just be sure to spend a serious conversation with him and discuss all the possible dangers that can lie in wait for the apartment.A photo: GettyimagesWhat to do? Assuming, you still had to leave your child at home all summer. Again, with preschoolers, there will be no special problems if you reconcile yourself with the fact that you, Mom or Dad, and no one else now entertain him. Drawing, molding, assembling new models from the designer, table games - the range of classes is so wide that you will be limited only by imagination. Preschoolers are happy to help the parents around the house. Wipe the dust, arrange the dishes, lay out the places things, simple cooking - with these tasks, children can easily cope. And you help, and they interest. Boys will be entertained with the papa in the garage or fishing. Schoolboys are given lists of literature for the summer. And school children usually hate these lists. Try to organize the reading process so that it becomes fascinating for the child. Read at the same time each of your books, and then tell each other the most interesting moments (with a discount for age). Or throw a book to a child not from the school curriculum, but appropriate to his interests. Perhaps after reading it, he will want to continue, and you will be able to advise the necessary literature. But do not forget that summer is a time for rest, and not just for continuing studies. Limit time spent on computer games and TV. Fresh air and movement - the guarantee of children's health, even in a stuffy city, but whenever possible try to get out on the nature, to rest from the dust and heat. Allow the child to invite friends to a party. Children 7-10 years old do not yet require that parents leave home for the time of their holiday, so that you will be in control. You can offer several ideas in advance for the entertainment of the guests, but look at the situation. Often a children's party does not require a special scenario, because children are big inventors, their own imagination will make it fun to spend the whole company.Photo:GettyimagesIn any city there are theaters, cinemas, amusement parks with a summer program, some events where you can go with the whole family. Take advantage of this opportunity, because all that is required from parents is to bring the child at the right time to the right place, and then the organizers will do everything. So you will not only occupy the child for some time, but also relax yourself, and also get a charge of emotions and a portion of inspiration. In general, the holidays are not as scary as you think. Of course, you can’t foresee everything, but still, if you perceive the summer as an opportunity to spend more time with your child, and not as torture, there is a chance that this will be the most unforgettable time for your family. And any parent can make it so.
