Whether to rest or review the material covered at school for a child during the summer holidays is a question that occupies the minds of all parents.
On the one hand, holidays are meant for relaxation. On the other hand, you can relax so much that in the fall you will have to work hard to remember and catch up.
Experts have their own point of view on this matter. Here are some tips to help parents make the right decision.
Rest first
Rest should come first, because during the holidays the child should have time not only to gain strength, but also to return to school with the desire to gain new knowledge.
If parents force their child to study all summer, then the attitude towards studying, with rare exceptions, may turn out to be negative.
Material covered
It is necessary to approach this issue individually. First of all, evaluate how the child finished the class.
If there are problematic subjects, then this is where you need to work. In other cases, you can use educational games, books, and even computer games or programs.
Motivation
Every schoolchild looks forward to the holidays. But when he hears about studying during the holidays, his mood gets worse.
The right motivation can solve this issue. This is definitely not about the condition that the child will go for a walk outside only after solving a dozen examples.
You can come up with a quest or a creative task, find an interesting book, turn on films and music in the language that children learn at school, and so on.
If parents want their child to spend the summer usefully and have a rest, they will have to work hard. Otherwise, it is unlikely that he will go to school as if it were a holiday.
