It’s summer vacation, and the mythical beast has returned. Many parents have begun to complain. They are worried that their children are on summer vacation and sleep in every day; they are worried that their children are on summer vacation and play with their mobile phones every day; they are worried that their children will cause damage to their homes during summer vacation. What a mess!
Children's summer vacation is actually a very good educational opportunity .
Parents doing these 9 things with their children during the summer vacation can better promote the parent-child relationship and cultivate children's self-discipline, self-confidence, and independence
The first thing: Supervise the children to make a work and rest schedule
Chen Feng's daughter is only in the fourth grade of elementary school She was in the same grade, but she never had to worry about it. She said that her children would do their homework first when they came home, and she made all the arrangements during the summer vacation. She would ask where she wanted to go and how many days she wanted to go. Her parents only needed to evaluate whether her plan was feasible, agree if it was feasible, and discuss it with her if it was not feasible. It turns out that since she was in the first grade of elementary school, Chen Feng would do it every summer. Supervise children to develop a work and rest schedule .
Therefore, children sleep normally during the holidays, get up normally, read and do homework by themselves, and go to interest classes by themselves. There is no transition period for children when school starts in the summer, and they don’t need to adapt.
Children should always grow up slowly, learn self-discipline, and urge children to set a certain work and rest schedule.
The second thing: Establish an agreement for the use of electronic products for children
Yesterday, a parent said that his child told him before the exam that if he could get the top three in the exam, he asked to buy a tablet computer. At that time, the father agreed, but the exam After the results came out and my child got first place in the exam, my father didn’t really want to buy it for his child, so he asked me whether he should buy it for his child.
I say you must buy it, because you must do what you promise your child, but after buying it, you must agree with the child on the time and requirements for use, and the time for the child to watch electronic products should not exceed one hour per day , at most It should not exceed two hours. Every time you watch for about 25 minutes, you should take a 5-minute break to look at the green plants outside and do some eye exercises.
When looking at a tablet computer, you should not lie on the bed, but sit upright on the table and watch it. Your eyes should be at least 30cm away from the electronic product.
The third thing: Let the children tidy up the room
Tidying up is actually to let the children summarize their belongings, let the children learn to do housework , and let the children understand what they have, so that they can find things next time. No panic.
The fourth thing: Let the children cook a delicious meal by themselves
As children grow up slowly, three meals a day is a very important thing. Let the children learn to cook delicious food by themselves and feel the joy of cooking. Only through the hard work of cooking can children truly understand that food is hard-won and learn not to be picky about food.
The fifth thing: Take your children to watch a movie
Movies can make your thoughts theater!
movies convey values through story images and also provide a communication channel between parents and children.
Watching a movie with your children is a good parent-child leisure time . Before watching the movie, discuss together what movie to watch. After watching the movie, you can ask the child to write a review after watching the movie, which allows the child to learn through the movie. Let children know that learning is not just a single channel such as reading books and taking classes.
The sixth thing: Accompany your children to play in strange places
Harvard Headmistress Drew Gilpin Foster once mentioned in a speech that understanding the world is a compulsory course for children. You should take your children to unfamiliar places more often, and your children will be better off in the future!
Accompany your children to travel to a strange place during the holidays Let the children experience the customs and delicacies of different places, which will make the children feel the breadth of the world, and also make the children more broad-minded and encounter It’s not easy to get into a dead end when things get tough.
The seventh thing: read a book with your children together
Parents should teach through words and deeds . If you want your children to read more, parents should also read more. You can choose a world famous book to read with your children together with your children . After reading, talk about your own opinions and ask your children's opinions. Only in this way can you make reading more interesting for your children and make your children's reading minds more open-minded.
Thing 8: Take your children to visit the elderly
During the summer vacation, you can take your children back to your hometown to visit your grandparents or grandparents. Children are a blank piece of paper. It depends on how you educate them. If parents respect their elders, their children will be more filial to their parents when they grow up. Therefore, summer vacation is a good time to teach your children about filial piety.
The 9th thing: Record the time when children grow up
The time when children grow up is gone forever. During the summer vacation, you have time to take your children out to play more, take more photos of your children, and then save them when the children grow up. Afterwards, these are precious memories.
