Why Weekends Should Be More Than Just Screen Time
Learning is always fun if it is pursued with the company of like-minded people. In this mechanical humdrum routine, life has turned utterly monotonous. Parents and kids rarely get quality time to spend with each other.
The dedicated and thoughtful parents are making both the ends meet to render the best in everything to their children, and in this hustle and bustle lifestyle, both the elements of connection building and knowledge sharing lose its significance. And the same applies to the children, where they are overly engrossed in their academics and endeavouring to maintain a balance between the soaring influence of social media and curriculum.
Bring Back Joyful Learning and Quality Bonding
Life is indeed simple, yet we make it complicated by taking undue stress and futile pressure. Parents, through their years of experience, have accumulated the richness of life and can wisely plan some weekend fun.
Children should support the humble efforts of their loving and caring parents — no one can be more accommodating and understanding than the impeccable company of the parents.
‘Weekend Special’ – Top 5 Learning Activities
1. Game Champion of the Week
No other activity can give you more fun than playing games. Indulge in both mental and physical games so as to develop the spirit of team spirit and leadership among your kids along with imparting knowledge and the necessary life skills. Wind up the game with intriguing awards of their choice by declaring Game Champion of the Week
2. Yoga with a Twist
Asking your child to commence his life journey with yoga will never catch his attention, but if you introduce yoga with a twist by encouraging your kid to identify some new yoga postures and take live sessions with the whole family as a trainer will be simply fun with learning.
3. Speak Your Heart Out
Sitting together over a round table with your favourite cuisines and pouring your heart out, is simply an art of deeplistening. Rather than your child finding a talking buddy, as parents you become their best and patient listeners. Turn your weekends into a ‘Live Language Kitchen’ which is killing two birds with one stone
4. Movie Pajama Party
Who doesn’t like to have fun? Even the kid inside the parents should remain intact. With a little bit of brainstorming, parents should identify movies that provide infotainment. All should gather together in their comfy pajamas with a box of popcorns and ‘get set go’ for the ultimate fun.
5. Upskilling with the Latest
There’s an endless list of new skills that are readily available at a click of a mouse. Together parents and children should identify a skill to be acquired every week and be a family with class. Unusual skills like Canva Art, Kitchen garden, Blogpost, Website creation, etc should be mastered together.
