EDUCATING YOUR CHILDREN WHILE HOLIDAYING

While traveling draw their attention to signboards, milestones, road rules, traffic signals, various means of transports, etc. This opportunity can also be used to teach a lesson on road safety. Also you can make them read notices, hoardings, instructions, etc, to teach them how to communicate things in various styles. Encourage their questions and answer them patiently.

Take them out to show them the place, even at a petrol filling station or when your vehicle has a breakdown. Thus a careful and observant parent can teach a lot even on the road. Moreover, the information gained in this way will never be forgotten

Learning with a difference: In the present scenario children are sent to school at quite an early stage. Once they start walking or talking they are sent to a pre-school and after that continuous book learning starts at home as well as at school. This prevents them from gaining knowledge from their surroundings.

Today’s children are not in a position to identify even common plants, birds or animals. This deficiency can be addressed if you take them to zoos, botanical gardens, etc. Also you can take them to planetariums, museums, historical monuments, and famous religious centers. Motivate them to maintain a diary in which they store information and also to collect souvenirs, mementos or pamphlets to remember these places,
