While enjoying the Thanksgiving break, I started thinking ahead to our next big break…Winter Break! I know many, like myself, look forward to that time of year with eager anticipation. Winter Break often gives us a much needed break in the action of our daily lives and time to relax and hang out with family and friends. Let the COUNTDOWN BEGIN! However…while we all feel the need for a break from the daily routine, our children need to stay on top of their learning game. For many of the skills your child is learning, it is important to remember they are doing just that…learning. Mastery of these skills has not yet happened. Learning is a process that takes time and does not handle breaks well. So, feel free to give them a break from the daily routines, but keep their brains active and growing over break so they come back ready to move ahead in their learning! This does not mean you have to dig out the flashcards and textbooks! I have include just a few ideas of how to keep your child’s brain engaged in fun ways that will help them to stay on top of their learning over breaks.
Keep in mind that this is just the beginning of the list of ways to keep your child’s brain engagedJ…feel free to add and adapt it to your child’s interests! And above all, HAVE FUN and ENJOY your much needed break!
