How to take a child during the holidays

Remember your own childhood? Summer gets dark late and the day you can have time to run to the river, play hide and seek, go to the woods for mushrooms, and in the evening and still am interested in fireflies. Wonderful weather, the mass of free time and childlike curiosity has always helped to find interesting business. You could spend days playing with neighbor kids, resorting home only to eat.

But times have changed. Today, most parents try not to let the children far from home, for fear of all - from strangers to crime. But then another problem arises: how to make the child spent the summer watching television or a computer?

How cool on the street

Over the summer entertainment does not necessarily go away: they can be found right in your own yard or in a park near the house. Stay outdoors, especially if not too hot around the greens and the air is not too dirty, very helpful for the child.

• Children can learn more about nature and their surroundings.

• Outdoors, they become physically active, especially in age from 3 to 12 years.

• Physical stress reduces children's risk of developing diabetes and high blood pressure, help to lose weight.

• After the physical activity outdoors is easier for children to concentrate in school, they are better at remembering stuff.

Just make sure that being on the street, children use sunscreen, drink enough fluids, and most of the time in the shade. If the temperature is too high and the air is polluted, healthier to stay indoors, especially if the child suffers from asthma or allergies.

Summer fun

If you're not working or simply want to spend time with children, the mass of options.

• Go to the pool. No nearby? Buy a children's inflatable pool, arrange a shower from a hose or just let the children play with water in the basin.

• Go to the beach. Let the children run barefoot, build a castle with sand, swim.

• Arrange a master class: Teach your child to play tennis, swim or ride a bicycle.

• Go to the zoo.

• Visit the water park or amusement park.

• Take a fishing trip.

• play mini-golf.

• Arrange for a picnic.

• Play with children in the garden or plant new plants.

• Go to the "hike with an overnight stay" on their own plots. Put a tent in the evening sit by the fire, bake potatoes and spend the night in sleeping bags.

• Teach your child to run a kite.

• Go to the park or playground for children.

• Join a sports match or competition.

If the street goes rain or, conversely, too hot:

• nice to spend time in a museum, aquarium or movies.

• Encourage children to board games, coloring books and colored pencils.

• Girls Take some needlework.

• Visit the rink for roller skating.

• Look in the library. If your child will read in the summer, it will expand your vocabulary and improve reading skills.

Alone

If during the day you are at work, children need to invent a safe and useful lessons.

• Day Camp. In the town the camp the child will be able to play football or basketball, take part in a theatrical setting, draw, etc.

• Join with neighbors or friends. Send the children on a day to friends, whose parents do not work as well as the reciprocal courtesy, take them to him for the weekend.

• Sports section. Softball, baseball for children or other team games will occupy your child.

Think again especially in summer Days from our own childhood. A little imagination and organizational skills will help to and from your children have the same wonderful memories.
