Family vacation and its importance
The first social environment is the family, where a child receives moral values, skills, knowledge, communication skills and the introduction of a healthy lifestyle.
After all, the family is the first pedagogical academy, and everything that was not received in childhood is difficult to supplement later.
And these losses in personality growth stem from the fact that there was no joint activity between children and parents.
Leisure time is that part of time that is realized for recreation, physical and spiritual development of a person. Our leisure time can be a combination of culture (theater, museum, cinema, reading, etc.), social and political activity, creative activity, entertainment with a child, communication, etc., but there is also passive rest (laziness), spending free time in vain. Everyone needs free time.
The way parents spend their family leisure time and how they occupy their free time undoubtedly depends on the culture of their parents. Primitive family leisure time definitely affects the child. This implies an important parental duty – to instill in children the habit of having a good time. At a young age, children are eagerly interested in their parents’ hobbies. Children are also greatly influenced by the way their parents spend their vacations with friends. When a group of parents and friends organize leisure activities together, it definitely affects the behavior of children in the company.
When it comes to organizing free time, parents should first of all think about how to fill their leisure time. Everyone has the opportunity to spend their free time with benefit. Family vacation in terms of educational function provides only favorable opportunities. Parents have a chance to understand their children better, to hear and feel their lives. Friendship and trust between parents and children are definitely strengthened. When a family spends time in creative and extraordinary ways, good memories and impressions are guaranteed. Memories from childhood that are happy are stored for a lifetime. Thus, traditions are formed that are passed down from generation to generation, forming certain values for the family.
Joint vacation of children and parents:
- Mental activity: games, riddles, reading, puzzles.
- Artistic activities: drawing, music, decorating the house before the holidays.
- Joint work: caring for plants, cleaning, caring for animals.
- Sports: swimming pool, gym, water park, skiing, soccer, martial arts.
Often, a child’s interests are learned during games. During a game, you can understand how a child achieves a goal, how he or she reacts to setbacks, and how he or she copes with difficulties. The main thing when playing games with children is to support their originality and praise them.
Tourism for families is a great way to strengthen relationships and more. It is a way for children to get acquainted with nature, to interact with it and take care of it. Achieving a common goal together with parents is very important for a child, at such moments the child becomes more responsible, organized, and confident. When you relax together, you become the best friend for your child. Even the simplest walk in the park, a trip to the movies or a museum, just holding hands.
