Things to note during summer vacation

Leave some free time for children to make their own decisions

How to arrange children's holiday life in summer vacation? Letting children attend training classes and interest classes has become the most worry-free choice for parents.

"My child is in the second year of junior high school. I have enrolled him in a summer tutoring class this holiday. He attends classes three times a week in Chinese, math and English respectively." Ms. Li, a parent, told reporters that her child likes to enroll in some interest classes, such as taekwondo and swimming, but his grades are not good, so he has to improve his academic performance first.

During the summer vacation, all kinds of tutoring institutions are very popular. In view of the fact that many children cannot arrange their own studies, have poor self-study ability, or have some unbalanced subjects, some parents will choose to hire tutors for their children, enroll them in tutoring classes, or enroll them in some summer camps. What's more, some parents have already made detailed summer study plans for their children before the summer vacation begins.

Ms. Wang, an educator, advises parents to choose training institutions based on their children's preferences and learning characteristics, and to help their children develop a summer study plan after fully communicating with them. "During the summer vacation, parents should not let their children be under constant pressure to study," Ms. Wang said, and they should also leave some time for their children to arrange their summer vacation and find something meaningful to do.

For students, holidays are not only a time to rest, but also an important time to readjust their learning status. How well the holidays are used directly affects the next stage of children's learning. Ms. Wang believes that the best way is to let children learn to arrange their own holidays. Teacher Yan from Huaqiao Middle School said that holidays are very important for children's learning and growth. They are what children look forward to the most. However, due to the popularity of holiday tutoring classes in recent years, holidays have had the opposite effect. It seems that children nowadays are not as eager for holidays as before. Teacher Yan suggested that children should learn to arrange their own holidays and learn to plan for themselves from an early age. Parents can give advice and guidance. For long holidays such as summer vacation, it is necessary to ensure that the holidays are "combined with work and rest."
