Many parents have a question about whether it is worthwhile to allocate time for their child’s studies during the summer vacation period.

After all, schoolchildren will have several months to rest, which they can spend with maximum benefit.

Should you force your child to study during the summer?

Experts believe that the same rule applies here as with an adult on vacation. For example, you are unlikely to want to spend precious time improving your professional skills, deepening your knowledge of the subject, and mastering related specialties.

The child also needs a good rest. During the whole year, children are faced with huge amounts of information that they need to comprehend and learn.

Therefore, the brain needs quality rest.

You shouldn't force your child to study "through force": you will ruin the vacation and still not achieve decent results.

You can try to work several times a week only with those children who are clearly lagging behind the school curriculum.
