Why it is necessary to have a rest with children not less than 14 days
Vacation is approaching, we are collecting suitcases. We inform children: we will have a rest on the sea, or near the forest, in mountains, we name the country, the city, the village. The child is waiting for a miracle. Arrived, unpacked suitcases, rest. But they themselves have not yet realized that we are on vacation.
And where is the miracle? Why is the child not happy, maybe sick? From my own experience and communication with parents, I hear complaints that vacation begins with an illness, especially when you are at sea. The child is sick not because he has a cold, but this is not excluded, there are many factors: climate change, fatigue during the road, overheating in the sun or hypothermia in the water, changing diet. Stress from an unfamiliar place, strangers.
And finally for 4 – 10 days, each differently, the recovery period begins. And now it all depends on how many more days your stay at sea will last.
If it is not just a trip, but recovery, it should be at least 14 days. The longer, the more seawater will give nutrients; sea air will saturate the lungs with oxygen.
I always listened to the doctor’s advice:
to be responsible for the choice of a climatic zone;
collect a first aid kit;
recovery should be 21 days, preferably but not less than 14;
tempering should start at home, the sooner the better.
We do not know how the body will react to the trip, so we plan a vacation in advance. This will help you avoid many troubles, especially stress.
We discuss the trip, make a plan, be sure to involve children in the discussion, listen to the wishes. We emphasize that the holiday is not only for children but also for parents. We suggest that the child draw a plan on paper: “My happiest day during the holiday, which I imagine it.”
It is very important to teach children to rejoice not only in big gifts but also to feel the joy of small surprises, pleasant pastimes with parents, games, delicacies, etc. It is interesting to teach a child to draw schematically, for this you only need a small notebook and a marker. You also join, write down interesting statements. Schematic drawing will help to study the poem, memorize the text.
In addition to the notebook, take a few sheets of colored cardboard; 4 – 6 markers; a small set of chalk, glue-pencil: a ball of thread, small scissors. From cardboard, we will make interesting games, toys.
Find a place on the map, circle, sign. You can draw a map together. In this way, the child not only learns geography but also knows where he will go to rest. We learn interesting facts about this place, read with children. I would advise reading books, be sure to pay attention to the age of the child. These can be short stories, legends, poems, riddles.
I suggest you take your favorite toy on the trip.
