Summer vacation is coming soon. Many parents let their children sleep in and play games during the vacation. The children hang out with friends and fail to complete their homework…the vacation time is wasted. In fact, in addition to allowing children to properly rest and adjust, holidays are also a critical period for children to overtake in corners. What determines whether a child can develop in the long term is the good habits developed in daily life. Smart parents know how to use summer vacation to help their children develop these 7 habits that will benefit them throughout their lives. 01 Good habit – read extensively. If your child is not good at Chinese, you must make good use of this holiday to let your child read extensively. Through reading, you can not only increase knowledge and develop intelligence, but also effectively improve children\’s expression ability and writing level. Summer vacation is an excellent time for children to read a lot. Parents should encourage and guide their children to read more and learn to read. Suggestions: 1. Choose a good reading theme that can be combined with the child\’s interests, or allow the child to explore a wide range of themes, including stories, biographies, poetry, classics, prose, etc. 2. Help children master the most basic reading methods and learn to browse, skim, intensive reading, etc. 3. Guide children to learn to make excerpts and write reading experiences, try to understand and appreciate books, and enrich their spiritual world through independent thinking and emotional experience. 4. Parents should set an example and not distract their children by playing with mobile phones or watching TV while they are reading. Parents and children should be encouraged to read together. 5. Pay attention to the light when the child is reading and the child’s sitting posture to prevent the risk of myopia. 02 Good Habits – Effective Learning During the summer vacation, it does not mean that children do not need to study. Parents should help their children use this holiday to improve their learning methods, improve learning efficiency, develop good study habits, and lay the foundation for the new semester. Suggestions: 1. Lead your children to preview new knowledge that they have not learned before, develop the habit of proactively previewing, and stick to it after school starts. If you preview well, you will get twice the result with half the effort. 2. Guide children to develop the habit of reviewing and summarizing. On the night when you learn new knowledge, you must review and summarize it in time, grasp the key points and keys that should be mastered, and form a knowledge network. You can create a wrong question book and summarize the error-prone knowledge points. 3. Guide children to think diligently and ask questions in a timely manner during the learning process. If parents can\’t answer the question, they ask their classmates or teachers. Questioning is a manifestation of active learning. Students who can ask questions are students with strong learning ability and students with innovative spirit. 4. Cultivate children\’s concentration during the learning process. There should be a time limit for children to complete learning tasks, so as to urge children to be more attentive. Keep snacks, toys, mobile phones and other things that can easily distract your child away from his sight. 03 Good Habit – Make Plans Do children usually not make plans? Or maybe you made a plan but couldn’t execute it? The holiday period is a good opportunity for practice. Parents should seize this time to help their children improve their ability to make plans and execute plans. Suggestions: 1. At the beginning of the holiday, a scientific holiday schedule should be developed based on the specific situation of the child. Break it down around your child’s main tasks during the holiday. During the formulation process, you can discuss it with your children and incorporate their opinions. 2. andGive your child rewards when needed. If your child\’s plan for the day or week is implemented well, you might as well give your child some encouragement, such as allowing your child to play for an extra hour the next day, or taking your child to see a movie. 3. What should I do if the original plan cannot be implemented due to emergencies? Children must be taught to make reasonable adjustments, prioritize important tasks, and postpone things that cannot be completed, but ensure they are completed. 04 Good habits – morning reading of foreign languages. Many children do not learn foreign languages well. The main reason is that they speak less and become \”dumb foreign languages\”. Adhering to morning reading can help children develop a good sense of language. Normally I have to go to school and time is too tight in the morning, but now it’s finally time! Suggestions: 1. Let your children read a foreign language article every day. Children can choose a topic that interests them, preferably with rhythm. 2. Reading aloud can reveal beauty and confidence. 3. The best time for morning reading is before 7 o\’clock in the morning. Even if the child wakes up late, he should insist on reading the first paragraph after waking up. 4. Promote memorization through reading. The number of morning reading articles does not need to be too many, and the content does not need to be too long. In a summer vacation, just select about 5-10 articles. It is best to read it by heart and recite it. 05 Good Habits – Self-Care When children are at home during the holidays, it is an excellent opportunity to cultivate self-care skills. Parents must not overindulge and do everything. When a child has a certain ability to take care of himself, it will not only meet his own development needs, but also become the foundation for his future survival in society. Suggestions: 1. Cultivate children’s awareness of self-care. Children should be allowed to do their own things, such as dressing, folding quilts, organizing personal belongings, etc. 2. Let your children participate in housework within their capabilities, such as cleaning, washing clothes, washing dishes, cooking, etc. 3. Have enough patience to train your children. At the beginning, the child\’s hands-on effect may not be ideal, and may even be a disservice. We must tolerate the gradual process of the child from \”not knowing\” to \”knowing\”. 06 Good Habits – Regular Work and Rest During the holidays, if you are not careful, your child\’s work and rest can easily be disrupted, which will affect your state after school starts. Parents must pay attention to guiding their children to adhere to a regular schedule during the holidays, which is crucial to their healthy development. Suggestions: 1. Unless there are special circumstances, let the child rest on time. Go home early when you go out with friends, and don\’t stay up late watching TV or playing games. 2. Let the child get up at a relatively fixed time every day, instead of adapting to the child\’s mood and allowing the child to sleep in and wake up at irregular times. 07 Good Habits – Reasonable Eating During a child\’s growth, a reasonable diet is closely related to the child\’s healthy growth. Parents must pay attention to helping their children develop good eating habits, build a strong physique, and lay a solid foundation of health for future life. Suggestions: 1. The child\’s eating time and meal mix should not change much compared to the school days. Let the child eat on time and in the right amount. Do not eat too much or eat too many snacks. 2. Meals should be combined with good living habits. Children should eat in a hygienic and quiet environment, and should take a walk for 15 minutes to half an hour after the meal, and avoid strenuous exercise., and don’t let your children eat while walking. Good habits can determine your child’s future!
