HOW TO AVOID HOLIDAY BLUES ??
Holidays are always eagerly awaited by kids. It is another name of fun for them. This is the time they want to spend in their own manner. They want to play, sleep etc in these off days. But this break from the regular routine disturbs their school going routine. After such a long time when they have to go to school they become cranky. They cry and even make excuses. This is a very regular behaviour of a child so instead of going out for strict tactics you should help your child come out of such attitude by using other simple and affective ways like rewarding etc.
There are some suggestions to avoid these Holiday Blues:
- Keep the Child Mentally in Touch With the School:- Make sure that you constantly talk about teachers and school with the child so that his association with the school can be maintained even when he / she is not going to school.. This will help the child in better adjustment in the school once the holidays are over.
- Involvement in Some Activities:- Utilize this free time of your child by getting him involved in certain activities which he she has already done in the school like painting, reciting rhymes. This way his ideal time can be utilized and thus will also increase his creativity.
- Learning & Fun in Holidays:- School is organizing a summer camp in these vacations. You can let your child join this summer camp. He can learn many activities like karate, dance, music, creative arts, etc. in this camp. This will not only enhance his creativity but also make him more confident and active.
- Mental Preparedness:- After this long vacation the child may not like to come school as his whole routine had been changed during these vacations so the better way is to make your child mentally prepared for coming to school. During vacations you should always make him remember that once the vacations are over he has to go to school. Never let the idea of going to school skip out of your child’s mind.
- Taking Child Out for Vacations:- You can take your child out for vacations .You can take him to hill station or any other place which is new to him / her. Make that outing an educational outing.
