Education Guide

Break the routine, even in a summer school offered by the school itself is a need for children of any age. This is the understanding of educational psychology Bombonatto Keziah, president of the Association of Educational Psychology, I talked a lot about this subject. In or out of school, children need to build internally which is routine, which is vacation, which is leisure, which is commitment.

She said any routine generates a “little stress,” including the scene of the play as preschools, and all need a time to relax.

For educational psychology, the child needs to experience the differences and learn to deal with the possibilities that have to regroup before the news. No wonder that summer courses are workshops, sports and recreational activities different from what is provided for educational project developed during the school year. And children need not wear a uniform can bring toys from home, and classes are grouped incomplete, resulting in new classmates and teachers. The school gets a new face, works in a different way so that the child perceives the holidays.

Keziah Bombonatto evaluates children who can not stay home with their parents on vacation, also have the opportunity to go out of their stressful for a positive experience. “These are new experiences aggregators in the development process.”

Despite being a rich alternative to educational psychology warns that when the summer school is not in the school the child attends, you should exercise caution and an adjustment period. In general, separation from the mother to stay in an unfamiliar environment is more difficult.

Camps

Psychopedagogy argues that parents introduce children to the few of this type of activity. She said even the biggest boys and girls, from seven years, may experience spending a week away from home. It would be nice to six years spent two days in a first opportunity. And for all ages is essential to have the possibility to interrupt the season and permission to contact parents by phone, which some camps, she said, prohibit it.

For younger children, Keziah camp does not recommend, as it believes that a two or three years and can not stand being with relatives or living in another city. However, remember that everything depends on the dynamics of each family and the maturity of each child.

Do Not Disturb: child resting

The psychologist and psychodramatist Norka Bonetti, the Coordination Department of the Institute of Psychodrama Seat of Wisdom, also recommends a pause in the school routine for all children. For her, the holidays serve as a rite of passage from one year to another, children point to the passage of time.

Norka Bonetti think children need more recreational activities during the holidays and it is important that they are more comfortable, with room for laziness and more “colinho” for minors.

The psychologist did a more important warning: the holidays should not be used to make everything that was not possible during the year. She recommends that parents take their children “all ists”, experts such as dentists and opticians, it is time to rest without compromise to have the willingness and availability for the new school year.
