The nine-month training marathon has finally ended and the long-awaited ones have come. How to make sure that the child does not later feel excruciatingly painful for the precious warm days spent aimlessly? What needs to be done to ensure that the three-month vacation passes with the maximum benefit for his health and mental development?
Traveling as one of the best types of education
There are a great many options for a fruitful life for children and youth during the summer holidays, and in many respects their choice depends on the hobbies and age of the child (and, of course, on the financial capabilities of the parents). But there is one win-win option that is relevant for both junior, middle and high school students - this is travel.
Only in the summer can you afford a truly long, joint trip with your beloved schoolchild, and not a short weekly trip, as in the autumn, winter and spring holidays.
Therefore, if there is such an opportunity, in the summer it is imperative to plan a joint one so that he changes the environment in which he stays 9 months a year, gets to know 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 musical instruments well, then in the summer he can earn decent money by getting a job in an open cafe (in summer such cafes open in large numbers in all major cities).
There are a lot of 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, except computer games and leisure activities in social networks.

Most parents remember well their Soviet pioneer childhood and unforgettable impressions from the rest in the children's camp (regardless of whether these are positive or negative impressions). Therefore, when it comes time to organize 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 once experienced negative emotions from this type of vacation 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 are well aware that, despite all the shortcomings of children's camps, only here their child will adhere to the daily routine, take part in various events, be under the supervision of adults around the clock, eat well, breathe fresh air and acquire communication skills with strangers.
Moreover, the "range" of children's camps today, compared with Soviet times, has expanded significantly, and parents have plenty to choose from. These can be both traditional children's camps located in the suburbs on the banks of a small river, and health camps on the sea coast, as thematic children's camps in Russia, as well as language camps abroad. By the way, the famous "Artek" is also open today for the rest of any child - the dream camp of every Soviet schoolchild, which previously could only be entered for outstanding achievements.
To the village, to grandfather ...
Unfortunately, in modern Russia, a child’s vacation in a children’s camp is far from available to every family, since today one can only remember about free vouchers, which were issued quite often in the Soviet Union. What to do for those who do not have the opportunity to pay the full cost of the tour? Of course, remember relatives in the village, especially if the whole school year the child spent in a bustling metropolis.
Rest in the village may become indispensable labor education and acquiring new skills: gardening and field work, grazing, picking mushrooms and wild berries, fishing, housekeeping - these are just a small fraction of what a child can learn while living in the village. In addition, do not forget that in the village the child will have the opportunity to live in clean air, eat fresh homemade products every day, communicate with peers and learn more deeply 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 some interesting books in his suitcase, and instruct his 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 best option in this case may be the so-called school camp, where from 9 am to 5 pm (that is, exactly at the time when 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 carry out repairs in August and prepare for the 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 holidays for children and parents may include:
- trips out of town or to the country;
- excursions to local attractions;
- beach vacation;
- city walks;
- joint creative activities;
- mini-travels to nearby cities and suburbs;
- sports.
Variety is the key to a good rest
Of course, if the child spends all three months of the summer holidays either in the 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 types of recreation with cognitive or soothing 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 a special period in the life of a child, opening wide
the door to the world of nature, giving the baby, with the support of educators
adults, a unique opportunity for learning, new discoveries, creation,
communication. Summer, known to us as the time of holidays, is awaited by both children and adults.
Adults have extensive experience of summer holidays in the city and in the country, on the coast
rivers or seas. Small children, on the contrary, do not have such experience and are waiting
repetition of the past or new ideas from adults: educator in the nursery
garden, parents in the family.
Preschoolers are happy to relax like in the south, where there is a 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
takes it as The best way relax. Children have sufficient
fantasy to find something to do and not be bored.
When choosing a place for a summer vacation for a child, one should take into account
features of his health, nervous system.
Going to the south sea, especially for a short period, parents
It must be remembered that such a trip requires a major restructuring of the children's
organism.
It is better for children with poor health in the south to rest and be treated in
specialized sanatoriums, where they undergo acclimatization and
treatment under medical supervision. 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 the mountains
lead to excessive excitation of their nervous system. im more
suitable Anapa or Kaliningrad region.
Unorganized rest (i.e. not in sanatoriums and health resorts) in the south, near
the sea, as a rule, requires great efforts of parents to fulfill
regimen and rules of nutrition. Otherwise, there may be unpleasant consequences -
sunburn, deterioration of sleep, appetite and, finally, sun and
thermal shocks. It should also be remembered that after returning home
again, acclimatization is required, which is not easy for all children.
An early child and preschool age it is better to rest in the usual
climate - in nature in the countryside, i.e. in the country. And there is the sun
brighter, greener grass, cleaner air than in the city. The kid can frolic in
garden, eat fresh vegetables, berries, fruits.
Summer in central Russia is beautiful, although it is shorter than we would
wanted. So it should be used to the maximum benefit.
health of the child, so that he returns to the city strengthened, tempered,
tanned and cheerful.
Well, if it is not possible to take the child out of the city, you can
enjoy your summer weekends. You can go to the river
to the meadow for berries or to make family hike in the forest. Very useful for
child to take short walks in the park or square. At the same time, not
forget that the clothes of a child and adults should be light,
ventilated, kerchief (Panama) comfortable, shoes in size. Along the way
walks observe the surroundings. looking at trees, bushes,
pay attention to trunks, branches, leaves. A thin trunk of a tree (birch,
maple, mountain ash) can be clasped with one hand, a thick oak trunk can
hug if the whole family join hands.
You will get a pleasant experience by organizing a joint mobile
the game "One, two, three - run to the tree" (each time the leader calls the tree,
which should be quickly identified and run to it).
Pay attention to the bark of trees. Examine the bark on a birch. From the south
the sides of its bark are smooth; from the north - rough, with cracks, growths.
Knowledge of these features helps a person to navigate in the forest.
Under the trees you can find acorns, cones that are useful for
creating interesting crafts. Enjoy the flowers with your child
listen to the sounds that insects make, enjoy the singing
birds. Having met a brook on a walk, stop, listen to how it murmurs
water, sing a water song with your child. Throw a tree leaf into the water
watch it move with the flow. Explain to the child that
plants purify the air.
At home, invite your child to draw their impressions of the walk. From
collected natural materials make crafts that you can
decorate the house or bring them to kindergarten.
Walking with your child, remind them of the rules of behavior in nature and
follow them strictly yourself. And these rules are very simple:
- do not scatter candy wrappers, bottles and other rubbish;
Do not tear or allow children to aimlessly tear flowers, medicinal
and other plants, break tree branches;
Do not catch or let children catch and kill butterflies, grasshoppers,
dragonflies, bumblebees, bees and other insects;
Berries, nuts, collect so as not to damage the twigs;
Do not let children destroy anthills and bird nests.
Summer is not only the time of travel, but also the most favorable
it's time for rest, hardening and health improvement of children. Therefore, it is very important
so that parents can make the best use 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 - overheating of the body, sunburn, sunstroke,
because a small child has less perfect thermoregulation
and his skin is very soft. The younger the child, the more sensitive
to heat and sunlight. A child should not sunbathe under
direct sunlight, and in the shade, better during games and in motion.
An excellent hardening remedy is bathing. The bathing area should
be shallow, even, with a slow current. Before giving a child
the ability to independently enter the water, you need to make sure that
in this place there are no holes, deep mud, snags, sharp stones. Don't let
hypothermia of the child when bathing. An adult must be in the water with the child.
"How to organize a summer vacation for children"
Summer is in full swing, and it's time for parents to think about spending their holidays and children's holidays, because our children, just like you and me, need new impressions, emotions, a change of scenery. Think back to your childhood. What were you most looking forward to? - Parental leave. What comes to mind first?
The seashore and a bunch of children who are messing around in the sand, building various towers and castles, decorating them with “precious” stones, twigs, shells ... All this is also necessary for our children, because building something out of sand the child will not only enjoy, but also reinforces the properties of sand, develops creativity (a friend has a fence made of sand pressed with his palms, and I have ... made of sticks), the child learns to communicate with peers, as they will simply be interested in his game, they will consult, try to help. You can invite now new friends to play ball, swim, splash or do other amenities.
For children, doctors recommend using natural resources: the sun, air and water, because with a reasonable combination of them, you can strengthen the health of the child. And in order to enrich yourself and your children with impressions, it is not necessary to go somewhere far away, because the native climatic zone is the best way a short vacation, as staying in it does not require acclimatization. You just need to look around and decide with the children what you can do tomorrow, while you will also teach your child to plan, reason and argue.
If there is a forest nearby, then you can organize a walk through the forest: on foot or on bicycles - this will also add variety to everyday life, observe the beauties of native nature, a variety of insects, remember the names of plants, collect a herbarium, listen to the sounds of the forest, play your favorite games from childhood . You can pass on to your child all the rich experience and knowledge that you have accumulated over the years of your life, tell him a lot of interesting things from personal experience, and if you don’t know something yourself, then when you come home you can, for example, find the photographed beetle in an encyclopedia or computer, read about its features, habitat, and the like. Thus, you will replenish the child's knowledge about the world around him, teach him to compare objects, to extract information.
You can also spend your vacation at your favorite dacha, because such a vacation is suitable for children of any age and has its advantages, you just need to give children the opportunity to show independence, freedom of action. It's no secret that children love to mess with water, well, let them pour it into different containers, put sticks and leaves in there, imagining that it's a boat, water the beds, experiment by mixing water with clay, sand, earth. And how many opportunities there are to plunge into the world of wildlife: to observe how vegetables and fruits grow, butterflies and bees flutter from flower to flower, grasshoppers hide in the grass ...
Do not forget about the combination of pleasant and useful. Use every opportunity to involve children in feasible work: bring something, water, pick berries, and the like, because diligence does not arise by itself.
Also, when harvesting, you can fix the count, shape, color, size, come up with various tasks, riddles with children, fix spatial concepts. It will be interesting for a child to watch floating clouds, comparing them with any objects - this develops creativity, imagination, teaches the child to see the unusual in the ordinary.
Children also willingly accept an invitation to go on a hike or picnic, but we must not forget that for very young children such a vacation may not be able to do it, because they get tired quickly, and you will have to drag little travelers along with backpacks. But if you still decide on this kind of vacation, then carefully choose the route, think over stops for rest and eating, and the children will be simply delighted.
You can also choose to stay in a boarding house, sanatorium or tourist base, and this vacation will have its advantages, since their territory is limited, there are playgrounds, life is established, and you can devote more time to your family.
When spending summer holidays, do not forget about the following rules:
1) Observe correct mode nutrition, eat at least three times a day.
2) Make sure that the child is not under the scorching rays of the sun for a long time, especially without a hat.
3) Do not forget to give your child to drink plain water more often.
4) To avoid intestinal infections, wash your hands, fruits and vegetables before eating.
5) Do not leave children unattended even for a minute.
6) Turn off all accessible electrical appliances, store tools and chemicals in inaccessible places.
7) Going on the road, collect a first aid kit.
If you follow all of the above rules, we hope that your vacation with your children will be meaningful and filled with only positive emotions.
Good luck with your summer!
Consultation for preschool parents on the topic: Summer
Bardeeva Tatyana Sergeevna, educator of the first category, ANO DO "Planet of Childhood" Lada ", kindergarten No. 63 "Vesnyanochka"Description: This material will be of interest to teachers for consultations and work with parents. As well as parents who are planning a joint summer vacation.
Target: develop the creative potential of parents.
Tasks:
1. to expand the ideas of parents about how to organize a child's summer vacation;
2. promote joint pastime of parents and children.
Summer is vacation time! Each of us is looking forward to this time of the year in order to devote more time to our children. Each family chooses for itself the rest. Some leave for warm countries in search of new experiences, others leave the city, to the country, someone will go to the charm of the hinterland (to the village with their grandmothers), and someone will simply stay in the city. But nevertheless, for each parent, information will be useful on how to develop a child in the summer, what new and interesting things can be shown, what educational games you can play with him, and in general what discoveries can be made in the summer by a young researcher.
Summer provides us with an ideal opportunity when it is necessary to develop and educate children, the main thing is not to miss these opportunities at this time of the year. You can diversify the activities of the child and find new experiences, as in hometown, and beyond, for this it is important to prepare an active cognitive joint vacation with a child, in whose activities it is necessary to see the unusual in the simple: how beautifully the dew sparkles to the bewitching music of the forest. But the main thing is not only to see an unusual phenomenon, but also to be able to present it to a child.
Also, the main task is to outline the education ecological culture. Nature in the summer fascinates children, but if they do not know the rules of behavior, then you can harm both the child and the surrounding nature. To avoid this, I suggest that parents play the game "Nature's Traffic Light" with their children.
At the beginning of the game, parents need to choose situations for three blocks that correspond to the colors of the traffic light:
- red color - means the harm that we cause to nature;
- yellow color - symbolizes neutrality, we do not bring any harm to nature, but at the same time there is no benefit for it;
- green color We bring real benefits to nature.
Also, during the summer vacation, it is important not to forget about the formation of the child's creative abilities.
Dear parents, do not forget the main thing, if you use correctly, without abuse, the natural power of nature, only then it will have a beneficial effect on the growing body of the child. That is why it is important for parents from the very beginning early age teach your children to consciously follow the rules safe behavior especially during summer holidays.
If you want your child's summer vacation to be active, but also safe, then there are a few basic rules to remember. The sun produces not only heat and light, but also due to the effects of sunlight in our and children's bodies, vitamin D is produced, which is necessary for the growth and formation of the body, and also protects it from various types of infection. But at the same time, if you stay in direct sunlight for a long time, the air temperature when it heats up more than 25 degrees, then you can cause either sun or heat stroke.
Bathing is the most enjoyable and effective view hardening. During swimming, all types of muscles are connected to work, the nervous, respiratory and cardiovascular systems are strengthened. But it is also important to remember to start slowly and carefully. During the first bath, if the child is not prepared, the water should be at least 22 degrees, and the bath itself should not exceed 2-4 minutes, only after a couple of days the games in the water are extended to 10 minutes.
If you remember and follow these simple rules, then you will save yourself and your family from many troubles, and your summer vacation will be healthy and joyful for you!
