As soon as the summer vacation arrived, many parents breathed a sigh of relief: finally they didn't have to get up early every day to send their children to school! But then the problem is that the child stays at home every day, either watching TV or playing with his mobile phone, and parents are worried that he will waste time and that it is not safe for him to go out. As a result, many children are "captive" at home in this way, which seems to be worry-free, but in fact there are many hidden dangers.

1. Lack of exercise, declining physique

Summer vacation should be a good time for children to release their energy and enhance their physical fitness, but if they stay at home all day, the amount of exercise will drop sharply, and muscle strength and cardiopulmonary function will be affected. Long-term sitting not only easily leads to obesity, but also may cause problems such as scoliosis and myopia.

2. Degradation of social skills

Children need to interact with their peers in order to learn to cooperate, communicate and even deal with conflicts. If you stay at home throughout the summer vacation, there will be fewer opportunities for socializing, and your child may become introverted, timid, or even have social barriers, affecting future learning and life.

3. Solidified thinking and limited creativity

The home environment is relatively simple, and the child has limited access to information. Experiences such as outdoor activities, trips, and summer camps spark curiosity and develop problem-solving skills. Staying at home for a long time makes it easy to become rigid in thinking, lacking innovation and adaptability.

4. Emotional depression, psychological problems lurking

Children also need to "let go", and being stuck at home for a long time is prone to boredom, irritability and even depression. Especially in adolescents, psychological problems can creep in if there is a lack of proper outdoor activities and socialization.

5. Poor time management skills

If there is no reasonable arrangement during the summer vacation, children can easily fall into the "lying flat" mode, with chaotic schedules and procrastination. When school starts, it is difficult to quickly adjust the state, and the learning efficiency is greatly reduced.

How to let children have a fulfilling summer vacation?

(1) Ensure 2-0 hours of outdoor activities every day - walking, cycling, and playing ball, the focus is on moving.

(2) Arrange social time - ask classmates to play together, or participate in interest classes and summer camps, so that children can make friends.

(3) Moderate contact with nature - even if you just go to the park to see the flowers and plants, you can relax and broaden your horizons.

(4) Make a timetable - study, entertainment, and sports are reasonably distributed, and avoid completely "herding sheep".

(5) Reduce screen time – Don't let your phone and TV become your child's "summer babysitter".

Summer vacation is not a time of "confinement", but a golden period for children to explore the world and grow themselves. Instead of locking your child in the house for fear of safety, teach him how to enjoy his freedom safely.
