So worry no more as I have got a few remedies or should I say, a few tips on how your child can spend holidays at home after exams. Explore tips given here..

Recharge Him/Her for the Next Academic Year

After slogging and studying hard the entire academic year, children do need some rest to recharge themselves prior to the beginning of the next academic year. Vacations are the most anticipated times in the lives of children, who start dreaming about the things to do and the places to go. Summer vacations being the longest one, children have abundant holidays before them. But the nasty sun doesn’t allow the children to explore much of the outside world. So here are a few things that your child can do indoors during this vacation.

1. Catching up with movies and series:

   This generation is hooked up to a number of series and movies. So let your child unravel the world of ‘Netflix’ in the house while the summer sun is blistering outside. With a plethora of movies and series to be discovered, your child will be amazed at every one of them as he/she watches them on a daily basis

2. House Parties:

   Parents usually start worrying when their child is partying outside and often cannot catch up on their sleep or work until the child returns home safely. So why not share the idea of having a house party with your child? This idea will surely intrigue your child and his/her friends who can dance and party in the house to the fullest, under your supervision of course. This will give your child to catch up with friends after the long hectic exam schedule

3. Reading and Writing:

   No, no, I am not talking anything academic here as that is the last thing that your child will want to consider during the holidays. You can gift your child some wonderful books such as comics, novels and so on that will urge him/her to read more and enter in to the world of bliss. If your child loves to write, you can encourage him/her to write poems, stories, essays and so on, which will enhance his/her vocabulary too

4. Hobbies:

   If your child has a certain hobby, which he could not connect with during the busy academic year, encourage him/her to pursue the same right away. Whatever it is that your child loves, reading, writing, painting, pottery, singing, dancing, motivate your child to catch up with his/her hobbies as this is the best time to do so

5. Cooking:

   Do not be gender biased about this. You can teach your boys to cook as a method of basic survival technique. Bake cakes together, cook a meal and share the same with the family and so on. This activity will allow you to explore some quality time with your child

Child Deserves a Wonderful Family Vacation

Apart from these family vacations after exams are another clichéd yet fun thing to do. Your child deserves a wonderful vacation after having toiling hard throughout the academic year. And you too deserve to spend quality time with your family once a year. Do you know why family vacation is important for kids? If not then read below to find the answers that will surely motivate you to plan an amazing vacation with your family right now.

1. Spending Quality Time:

   This is no thinker. Vacation means having to spend quality time with your family where everyone is at peace and having fun with each other. With work, school and other activities going on, vacation brings a time where the entire family can relax and enjoy with each other, somewhere on the beautiful hills or near a beach or in the woods

2. Allows Relax:

   Not just parents, even children confront a number of tasks to be done on a daily basis, leaving little or no time to bond with each other. A family vacation will definitely put aside the hectic schedule and allow the members to find solace in each other as they go on exploring the different place, far away from home and engage in various fun activities

3. Creating Fond Memories:

   When was the last time you took a vacation with your family? Do your children recall the last vacation you went on correctly? If no then pack your bags and head out for a memorable vacation right away as this quality time is what you and your children deserve. Create memories, which are to be cherished for as long as you live

4. Seeking New Experiences:

   Wherever you go for a vacation, you and your family will surely seek experiences out of them. This will be the best way to have some wonderful experiences come in to your child’s life, which will help him/her learn and grow in several ways

Fullfil Travel Desire
