I have the same question. I wish somebody would give a good, detailed answer that helps. Here's a piece that I wrote.
It's...Summertime!!!
> by M. Ehsan Slatch
> Folks, remember the zeal, the fervour and the anticipation with which we always used to wait for the summer holidays? Such enticing and juicy used to be the prospect of an oncoming summer. The sheer promise of freedom a summer held within its arms; those magical arms as wide open as the generous arms of the Mississippi.
What shortsighted fools we used to be.
> Only when a summer itself arrived would we wake up to its true dark nature. All of a sudden all of its magic would be evaporated into thin air right before our eyes. When those endless days of boredom and inactivity descended upon us, there wouldn’t be any escape for us from the state of
wretchedness we’d be in. Nobody did the homework, of course, but the guilt coming from the undone homework produced enough grim to last us through the holidays. Actually, it was enough to last us for the whole year to come.
Those listless summers are now long gone, and thanks goodness, never to come back. Aren’t we so lucky to have gone past them? In one piece each and at least with some accountable amount of sanity intact!
I like the kind of summers we have now; work, coming home, and being able to spend some time with the kids. The kids?! Haven’t those summers now descended upon our kids? Well, actually they have! And since it is us now who are at the helm it falls upon us to change the course of events and to help our kids out of that black hole of nothingness. As for myself, I
am trying to indulge my kids into horseback riding and swimming. They will also be trying their hand at drawing. Due to some lack of space plus the close proximity of their ages resulting in a perpetually imminent threat of a grand chaos I have decided to postpone painting for a couple of years but it has, definitely, to come. And reading; of course, we’ll be doing a
lot of reading too.
Folks, I am sure you will agree with me that every child is a
unique and distinct entity with his/her own set of thinking pattern, fears, interests and dreams. What might initiate and propel one child into an enormous amount of useful activity might have minimal or no effect on another child.
There are a number of activities that you can introduce your child to, and gauge his/her inclinations and interests. For your convenience I have compiled a short list of such activities, and which you might use to get a cue: Reading, writing, cooking, painting, sewing and stitching, designing outfits, photography, chess, scrabble, keeping a pet, dismantling a toy or a bicycle, blowing up a transformer. Ok! That last one was only to see
if you were still awake but seriously, we have to find something to keep our kids interested, motivated and on their toes. This will be our small contribution to them toward pumping some magic back into their lives.
And a smile on their faces.
