Home Blogs Have A More Soul-touching Summer Vacation With Your Children
There is no denying the fact that memories we make during summer vacations last for a lifetime. The places visited, the crafts learnt, the treats taken from grandparents and the holiday homework that was done together- that strong sense of nostalgia touches us at the very soul level. Those 2 months make for the best time of the year and if spent bonding, it makes for the best time in our life.
While the generation before the current has beautiful memories of their summer vacations, sadly, the lifestyle today is leading to a major disconnect as parents hardly find the time to bond with their children during their 2-month breaks from school. Children not only get bored but it also harms their personal growth and their connection with their family.
Summer camps is a nice idea but it does not compare to the one-to-one time and personal attention that you can give to your child’s personal growth. Summer camps often have fun activities for children and help them learn new things. While you can consider 1 or 2 weeks of summer camp during summer vacation, there is a lot more that you can do to make this holiday, the most soul-touching experience for your child.
Going on a vacation is the obvious and perhaps the best idea. Exploration always adds to the personal growth of your child. It’s a great way to enjoy and bond with your child while making memories that will last a lifetime. Going to picnics and amusement parks during vacation is something that every child deserves. Once your child looks back at the pictures, it will bring back beautiful memories and strengthen the sense of togetherness that sometimes wears out while growing up.
You should also use this vacation to equip your child with soft skills that are often not a part of school curriculum. While it may be tough for you to find such activity centres. You can take the time out from your schedule to teach your child some soft skills yourself. Make it fun and interactive.
Using this time for your child’s spiritual growth is a great idea. You can enroll your child for reiki and meditation classes. These will help your child become more spiritually aware and have a sound understanding of human mind and human emotions. These classes will prepare your child for all that growing-up entails.
Remember, focusing on ‘togetherness’ is the best way to make vacations a soul-touching experience for your child.
