Children Have a Efficient Semester

As of January 22, the 3-week semester break starts for students. This year, the semester is planned for 2 weeks, not 3, within the scope of corona measures, and a 1-week break in April was added to the semester.

Throughout the school period, every child carries an intense responsibility, whether they are successful in their lessons or not. He is constantly expected to fulfill some duties and is frequently warned about these responsibilities. During all the time spent at school, he is expected to learn something and his learning is also tested. In addition, there is a control and warning of the family at home. Naturally, every child needs a vacation after such an intensity. There are some points that families should be careful about during the holiday process. Especially children who have lesson failure or who have difficulties in doing homework or studying can be kept under more pressure by their families. However, it should not be forgotten that these children also need a holiday.

• During the holiday, children should be provided with activities that they will enjoy, in line with their interests and abilities. The holiday period is an opportunity especially for parents who cannot take care of their children sufficiently during the school period and cannot have a pleasant time together. During this period, the best gift you will give to our children will be the attention and time you will give them.
• It will be useful to spend time with the child during this holiday, to be with the child as much as possible, to listen to him, to try to learn his feelings and thoughts, and to share your own emotions with him.
• If the child has problems with the lessons, instead of emphasizing and criticizing it, it is necessary to try to spend time together in a way that will enable him to get away from this distress and to increase the quality of the parent-child relationship.

The holiday can also be an opportunity for children to reinforce unlearned and unrecognized topics. However, while this is achieved, instead of filling the whole day with lessons, it is necessary to use certain hours of the day to support the child and to complete the deficiencies without boring and battering. During this period, it will be enough not to leave the lessons with light repetitions and homework.

• It is important to get his support and approval while preparing a holiday program. For example, if we aim to work one hour a day, it would be appropriate to get the child's opinion on what time of day this hour will be.
• While the program is being made, attention should be paid not only to emphasizing the working time, but also to give importance to the fact that it is in fun activities and to include the time you will spend with him in this program.
• If your child will spend most of the holiday at home with you, care should be taken about television and computer use. Because children can demand unlimited usage rights in this regard. This will create a negative effect on the contrary to the enrichment of the social lives of the children, the refreshing and resting of their mental processes. For this reason, television and computer times should be kept under control without going too far.

Students often think that the holidays will pass in the blink of an eye. However, this year, when the semester hours are calculated, it will take 21 days X24 hours = 504 hours.

In a little of these 504 hours, even if you read a book, eat, sleep, rest, watch movies-series, play games, study, time still remains. Since most of the time will be spent at home due to the pandemic, it is important to plan activities that will support children and young people to protect their mental health. You can use the following suggestions for this planning:
