Kids and vacations

Children and vacations are here. The children look forward to it, but if both parents work it can be a major challenge. It takes almost three months to fill, organize and plan. Changes in routines, excess free time and little organized ... it can even be boring for many children.

Parents, listening to their children's preferences, can plan a fun and structured vacation.

• Establishing some planning in the children's vacations is important so that they manage their time well, take advantage of it and do not get bored.
• Although it is time to do homework or make up a subject, children also need a few days of total disconnection to rest their minds and regain strength.
• Spending time off with the family is crucial. Planning it with the little ones is also part of the illusion and fun.

First objective: rest

After a year of studies and homework, the summer holidays have a clear objective: that the child rests from his school activities.

We must respect this leisure period so that they return in September with charged batteries. Even in cases where they have to make up subjects or need academic support, a few weeks of total disconnection can be very beneficial to release tension, rest the mind and regain strength.

Plan family vacations

It is crucial to spend some time off together. Thinking about where we will go, what activities we will do and how each member of the family can enjoy them is a good plan to look forward to them.

Order your day to day: routines on vacation

Even if it is a vacation, we must not forget the rules and limits. Create spaces in the day to day to watch television, read, be with friends, go out to the park or agree when to go to bed. This type of thing, which does not give rise to total free will, can be very beneficial for the child, since it locates him in what he has to do and when to do it.

Weekends outdoors

Summer is a fantastic season to enjoy weekends at the beach or in the mountains. A weekly outing of one or two days with the family is excellent to spend time together, to get oxygen and to enjoy contact with nature.

Children and vacations: Workshops, camps and summer activities

In schools, civic centers and other institutions, a wide variety of activities are offered for the summer. They are a great help for working parents and an opportunity for children and adolescents to continue learning, enjoying nature, practicing sports, art and socializing with other equals.

The choice must be agreed with the child, it must be something that motivates him and can enjoy it.

Summer chores

Many schools are friends to put homework on children. The ideal is to plan so that we do not have everything pending in the last weeks. Spending between 30 minutes and an hour a day in the less hot moments of the day would be ideal. Summer is an excellent time to encourage children to read.
