Travel as one of the best forms of education

There are a great many options for a fruitful child and youth life during the summer holidays, and in many respects their choice depends on the hobbies and age of the child (well, and, of course, on the financial capabilities of the parents). But there is one win-win option that is relevant for younger, middle and older students - this is travel.

Only in the summer can you afford a really long, joint trip with your beloved schoolchild, and not a short week-long trip, as in the autumn, winter and spring holidays.

Therefore, if there is such an opportunity, in the summer it is necessary to plan a joint one so that he changes the environment in which he is 9 months of the year, gets acquainted with something new and renews his stock of vivid impressions.

If your child has some special skills, then you can find something more interesting for him. For example, if he plays well on musical instruments, then in the summer he can earn decent money by getting a job in an open-air cafe (in the summer such cafes open in huge numbers in all major cities).

There are many options for how a child can usefully spend a "little life". The main thing is not to impose anything on him and follow his natural inclinations, then, perhaps, he himself will want to do something else in the summer, besides computer games and spending leisure time in social networks.

Most of the parents remember well their pioneer-Soviet childhood and the unforgettable impressions of the rest in the children's camp (regardless of whether they are positive or negative impressions). Therefore, when it comes time to start organizing children's recreation, the first thing that comes to their mind is children's camp .

It is noteworthy that even those mothers and fathers who at one time experienced negative emotions from this type of rest are in a hurry to buy a ticket to the "pioneer" camp for their child. Indeed, from the height of their age and life experience, they perfectly understand that, despite all the shortcomings of children's camps, only here their child will adhere to the daily regimen, take part in various activities, are under the supervision of adults around the clock, eat well, breathe fresh air and acquire communication skills with strangers.

Moreover, the "assortment" of children's camps today, in comparison with Soviet times, has expanded significantly, and parents have a lot to choose from. It can be both traditional children's camps located in the suburbs on the bank of a small river, and health camps on the seaside, as themed children's camps in Russia, as well as language camps abroad. By the way, the famous "Artek", a dream camp for every Soviet schoolchild, is open for the rest of any child, which earlier could only be entered for outstanding services.

To the village, to grandfather ...

Unfortunately, in modern Russia the rest of a child in a children's camp is not available to every family, since today one can only think of free vouchers, which were often issued in the Soviet Union. What to do for those who are unable to pay the full cost of the tour? Of course, remember about relatives in the village, especially if all school year the child spent in a noisy metropolis.

Rest in the village can become irreplaceable in part labor education and the acquisition of new skills: gardening, grazing, picking mushrooms and forest berries, fishing, housekeeping - this is only a small fraction of what a child can learn while living in a village. In addition, do not forget that in a village a child will have the opportunity to live in clean air, eat fresh homemade products every day, communicate with peers and learn more about the culture and traditions of our people, which are much better preserved in the village than in the city.

Well, so that the child does not forget the letters and numbers, you can put several interesting books in his suitcase, and instruct the grandmother / grandfather-aunt / uncle to make sure that the student devotes at least one hour a day to reading.

Houses and walls help

If the financial situation of the family does not allow buying a ticket to the children's camp and there are no relatives in the village, then the parents have no choice but to leave the child at home for the whole summer. The most the best option in this case, the so-called school camp, where from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (that is, exactly at the time when the parents work), the child will be under the supervision of teachers, go on excursions, take part in recreational activities, etc.

However, the school camp, as a rule, works only in June-July (most schools in August carry out repair work and prepare for a new academic year), so that in a certain period of time, parents still have to make some efforts to organize their child's leisure time. Therefore, it is advisable to agree in advance with the authorities about a vacation for the summer holidays (for example, dad can go on vacation in July, and mom - in August).

Joint summer vacations for children and parents may include:

• trips out of town or to the country;
• excursions to local attractions;
• beach vacation;
• city ​​walks;
• joint creativity;
• mini-trips to nearby cities and suburbs;
• playing sports.

Variety is the key to a good rest

Of course, if a child spends all three months of summer holidays either in a camp, or in the village, or at home, then the rest may seem boring and monotonous to him. Therefore, it is recommended to alternate active leisure activities with cognitive or calming ones. For example, in June you can send a child to the village, in July - in holiday camp, and August is best spent at home, combining family vacations with preparation for school.

The main thing is that the child's rest is varied and meets the hobbies and inclinations of the student. And it is also desirable to limit the "communication" of the child with the computer, so that he can fully enjoy the possibilities of summer holidays.

Summer is the time of the longest vacation for schoolchildren. And many parents think about what to do with their child for this time, where to attach him. So that the child is in business and does not stagger along the street, left to himself. There are a lot of options for organizing summer vacations for children, it all depends on the capabilities of the parents themselves and the wishes of the children. Even leaving the child at home for the summer, you can come up with a program of rest and leisure. For example, take to circles, to friends of the child. You can hire a nanny, ask a neighbor's grandmother to look after the pay. You can even negotiate with familiar mothers in order to take turns somehow entertaining the children.

Guided tour for children and adults

A good option for organizing children's summer holidays would be a joint trip between parents and their child. An excellent opportunity for this is excursion tours for schoolchildren and adults, which allow them to visit interesting places and attractions for children and adults both in Russia and in neighboring countries. You can go on a tour of the Golden Ring, to beautiful St. Petersburg, to the resorts of the Krasnodar Territory or the Crimean Peninsula - there are many options, you just have to choose the most attractive one based on your own capabilities and preferences.

To grandmother in the village

The most common and economical option is to visit grandparents in the village. However, not everyone has this opportunity. The village has fresh air, a river, green grass, fresh milk and vegetables from the garden. All this is undoubtedly useful for the child. There are few, if any, cars in the village, and there is plenty of space for cycling. And to work physical child get used to it. But this option is good for preschool and younger kids. school age... After all, what older child, so it becomes more boring for him with his grandparents.

School camp

Or a school playground, as some schools call it. Children are there from morning until evening. Parents can pick up the child themselves, but it is possible that he himself can leave. Then you will have to write a statement that you assume all responsibility for safety. In such camps, children are provided with interesting activities, rest, walks, excursions, food and even a nap (for the smallest). This option is very convenient for parents, and you can work calmly and the child is nearby. But such school camps are organized for one month, more often in June, because then teachers have their own troubles, repairs, preparation for the new school year.

Regular camp

For children over 10 years old, it will be interesting to visit a regular camp. The time of stay is different, from two weeks to a month. But now the parents will not be able to see the child every day. Although for this age of children this is not so scary, and you need to take some time off from each other and give the child independence. In addition to organizing leisure activities for children in a school camp, in a regular camp everything is much more varied and more fun. These are discos, carnivals, contests, concerts, performances that children themselves stage and play. In general, in the camp the child will not be bored. However, the cost of the voucher is not cheap, from about 20,000 rubles.

However, if your child is often sick, he can be given a certificate in the children's clinic that the child needs a rest outside the city. Then the state pays a little more than half of the cost of the voucher.

You can take your child to the sea. There is an option - a camp by the sea. It is no different from a regular camp, except that the children visit the beach twice a day.

Country rest

You will only be able to lure a small child to the dacha. Older children will not be interested there. Although even here you can come up with your own recreation program so that a child of any age will be interested. If there is a river nearby, visit it regularly. Let the child ride a bike, rollerblades. You can even grow vegetables in an interesting way by giving your child your own garden. Let him plant what he wants and look after. If some kind of living creature lives in the country, you can invite the child to take care of it. It is very interesting for children to watch piglets, chickens, goslings. But very young children can get scared, so you need to be more careful when introducing them to animals. If you don't have your own summer cottage, then it is quite possible to rent for the summer. The child will be in the fresh air, under your supervision.

Babysitter for summer

If both parents work all summer, then you can hire a nanny for the child. Of course, this is not a budget option, but it is quite feasible. A nanny can take the child to her home, especially if she has a house outside the city. May come to your home. She will not only have to look after the child, but also work with him, walk, go to the cinema or concerts, perhaps. All this is discussed when applying for a job. The advantage of this option is that the nanny deals individually with your child. True, a nanny is more suitable for adult children - a friend or a friend.

Baby at home

Well, if there are absolutely no options at all to arrange a child somewhere for the summer, then create conditions for rest at home. Working parents can take their children to circles, sections, various activities. Then ask a neighbor or friend to pick up the child from classes and take a walk with him, feed him, put him to bed. Agree with her for an affordable payment. You can ask other mothers who are at home with their children to sit also with yours. Also, of course for a fee. If the child is over 10-12 years old, then it is quite possible to get by with interesting circles or activities in the theater, for example. The rest of the time he will wait for his parents at home or walk on the site on his own.

In general, there are enough options and where to attach a child in the summer, it is up to the parents to decide. It all depends on the imagination, financial capabilities of the parents and, of course, the wishes of the child himself.

HOW TO ORGANIZE SUMMER HOLIDAYS WITH A CHILD

Summer is a special period in a child's life, opening wide the door to the natural world, giving the child, with the support of educating adults, a unique opportunity to learn, discover new things, create, and communicate.

Summer is known to us as the time of holidays, both children and adults are waiting.
Adults have extensive experience of summer holidays in the city and in the country, on the banks of the river or the sea. Small children, on the contrary, do not have such experience and expect a repetition of the past or new ideas from adults: a kindergarten teacher, parents in a family. Preschoolers are happy to have a rest both in the south, where there is the sea and you can sunbathe, swim, play with water, and in the country or in the village with their parents or grandparents.
No matter how the child spends the holidays, he perceives it as -The best way relax. Children have enough imagination to find something to do and not get bored.

When choosing a place for a summer vacation for a child, one should take into account the peculiarities of his health and nervous system.

Going to the South Sea, especially for a short period, parents need to remember that such a trip requires a major restructuring of the child's body.

Children with poor health in the south are better off resting and being treated in specialized sanatoriums, where they undergo acclimatization and treatment under the supervision of doctors. A stay in the mountains, especially in places where pine trees grow, has a beneficial effect on the vascular and nervous system.
But mobile, emotional children in pine forests and in mountainous areas are not recommended to rest and receive treatment, since these natural conditions lead to excessive excitement of their nervous system. Anapa or the Kaliningrad region is more suitable for them.
Unorganized rest (that is, not in sanatoriums and health resorts) in the south, by the sea, as a rule, requires a lot of efforts by parents to comply with the dietary regime and rules. Otherwise, there may be unpleasant consequences - sunburn, poor sleep, appetite and, finally, sun and heat stroke.

It should also be remembered that after returning home, acclimatization is again required, which not all children pass easily.
To an early child and preschool age it is better to relax in the usual climate - outdoors in the countryside, i.e. in the country. And there the sun is brighter, the grass is greener, the air is cleaner than in the city. The kid will be able to frolic in the garden, eat fresh vegetables, berries, fruits. Summer in central Russia is wonderful, although it is shorter than we would like. So it must be used with maximum health benefits for the child, so that he returns to the city stronger, hardened, tanned and cheerful.
Well, if there is no way to take the child out of the city, you can usefully spend the summer weekend. You can go to the river, go to the meadow to pick berries, or take a family hike in the forest. It is very useful for a child to take short walks in a park or square. At the same time, do not forget that the clothes of a child and adults should be light, ventilated, a kerchief (panama), comfortable, shoes in size. Observe your surroundings as you walk. When examining trees, bushes, pay attention to trunks, branches, leaves. A thin trunk of a tree (birch, maple, mountain ash) can be grasped by one hand, a thick oak trunk can be grasped if the whole family joins hands. You will get a pleasant experience by organizing a joint outdoor game "One, two, three - run to the tree" (each time the leader names a tree that should be quickly identified and run to it). Pay attention to the bark of the trees. Examine the bark on a birch tree. On the south side, its bark is smooth, on the north - rough, with cracks, growths.

Knowledge of these features helps a person navigate the forest.
Under the trees you can find acorns, cones, which are useful for creating interesting crafts... Together with your child, admire the flowers, listen to the sounds of insects, enjoy the singing of birds. Having met a stream on a walk, stop, listen to the water murmuring, sing a song of water with your child. Throw a leaf of a tree into the water, observe its movement with the flow. Explain to your child that plants purify the air.

At home, invite your child to sketch their impressions of the walk. From collected natural materials make crafts that you can use to decorate your home or bring them to kindergarten.
When walking with your child, remind them of the rules of behavior in nature and strictly follow them yourself.
And these rules are very simple:

Do not throw candy wrappers, bottles and other rubbish;

Do not tear or allow children to aimlessly pick flowers, medicinal and other plants, break tree branches;

Do not catch or allow children to catch and kill butterflies, grasshoppers, dragonflies, bumblebees, bees and other insects;

Collect berries, nuts so as not to damage the branches;

Prevent children from ruining anthills and bird nests.

Summer is not only a time of travel, but also the most favorable
time for rest, hardening and health improvement of children. Therefore, it is very important that parents make the most of this precious time.

In summer, children should spend maximum time outdoors. And parents must remember that the sun is good, but in moderation! The biggest danger is overheating of the body, sunburn, sunstroke, because Small child possesses less perfect thermoregulation and its skin is very delicate. The younger the child is, the more sensitive he is to the effects of heat and sunlight. A child should not sunbathe in direct sunlight, but in the shade, better during games and on the move.
Bathing is an excellent hardening agent. The bathing area should be shallow, level, with a slow current. Before giving the child the opportunity to enter the water on his own, you need to make sure that there are no holes, deep mud, snags, sharp stones in this place. Avoid hypothermia when swimming.

An adult must be in the water with the child !!!
