Dear Parents,Holidays are here, yet another opportunity for our little ones to do something beyond the mundane routine.

OVER TO YOU NOW, DEAR PARENTSKids will be with you for the next one and a half months and let's maintain this rhythm to make each dayworthwhile for them.

It's time to EXPLORE, CREATE AND INNOVATEChildren are our lifeline. We had an excellent time with our kids since the beginning of the new session wherein they enjoyed doing various activities, playing games, listening to interesting facts and stories apart from their academics.

FEW TIPS TO MAKE HOLIDAYS 'FUN AND LEARN' TIME FOR KIDS

1.EMPOWER THE LITTLE ONES

Involve kids in daily chores like doing up their bed, hanging and folding clothes, laying the table etc. This will make them confident, responsible and teach them dignity of labour.

2.CHILDREN DESERVE YOUR QUALITY TIME

The children need our presence more than our presents so•Strive to have at least two meals together. Make them aware of the hundreds of people who worked hard to provide them a meal. Let the kids understand that to have food in our plate,we need to cultivate.•Read, play, sing and have lots of fun with them.•Instead of just telling the child to read, help them to select the books, read along with voice modulation which will encourage them to read more often.•Help them to learn five new words everyday and make a constant effort to use them repeatedly.•Teach them a few folk songs and enjoy singing along with them.

3.TAKE THEM FOR OUTINGS

•A visit to grandparents, relatives and friends will help them understand about sharing and bonding with near and dear ones.•Take them along to the market, malls and shopping complexes. Let them be a part of purchasing groceries, checking price tags, checking bills etc. This will naturally teach them value for money.•Plan visits to amusement parks, public parks and let the children socialize with the people out there. Let them observe the way you greet people and interact with them.

4. FOCUS ON THEIR PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES AND EATING HABITS

•Under your guidance set a routine for your kids where they perform pranayama and simple stretching exercises.•Encourage them to play outdoors in the evening instead of watching TV and playing with electronic gadgets.•Inculcate healthy food habits. Let them enjoy fruits, juices, lassi and ensure they do not binge on junk food and aerated drinks.

Last but not the least

Handhold your child at every step, make this journey of life, happy and a beautiful one for them that one day they create their own golden stories. Wishing you a wonderful time with your little ones and looking forward to

sharing experiences after summer break.
