Exams
season is coming to an end. Summer vacations have begun and students have ample
time during these few months to enjoy their vacation by indulging into their
favorite outdoor sport, playing video games, or going for a holiday trip. Along
with these activities students could still do something wherein they can hone their
existing skills or develop a new one.
Parents
can play an important role in understanding what their children would be
interested in, and accordingly plan their summer vacation. Here are some tips that
can come handy for your children this summer.
Sports: Children enjoy outdoor sports
such as cricket, football or tennis. Why not give them a chance to improve
their sporting talent by enrolling with a professional sports coaching academy.
This will not only groom their talent in that particular sport, but also help
in keeping them active and fit during the summer vacation. Children can also
consider learning swimming, karate, judo, yoga, and martial arts.
Performing
Arts: There are
several organizations that run summer training courses in the field of
performing arts. Your kids could register for short term courses in acting,
dramatics, dance (western and Indian), musical instruments (piano, violin,
guitar) and sound recording.
Computer
Programming and IT:
Various institutes provide courses in computer programming. Your children could
learn one or more computer programming languages such as Java, C, C++, and
Visual Basic. Those who dislike programming can consider training courses in
computer hardware, networking and database management.
Crafts
and Art: Children
learn craft and drawing skills during their tenure in school. If they are keen
to learn more, then they can consider courses in painting, drawing, pottery,
decoration, and designing. Students can also consider learning the art of
photography by enrolling for a basic or advance course in photography.
Foreign
Language: Learning
a foreign language can be interesting and fun. Short term language courses in
Japanese, German, French, and Spanish are available. Also, you can consider
course in creative writing.
Memory
Development: Children
who dislike mathematics, or have problem in remembering concepts, a memory
development course could be a good starting point. Courses in Vedic Mathematics
and Abacus can help in improving their mathematical ability. There are other
memory development courses that aid in fast reading and easy memorizing.
Personality
Development: If
your child is not very comfortable in communication or public speaking, then a
short term course in public speaking and communication can be advantageous.
Also undergoing a personality development course can help your child overcome
shyness, gain confidence and develop positive self esteem.
Computer
Skills and Animation:
Kids are well versed with using a computer or laptop. You can train them
further in courses such as Microsoft Office (Word, Power point, Excel), Tally,
Animation, Website designing, HTML, Flash, Photoshop and Coral Draw.
Career
Counseling: If
your child is unsure what career to select, then before the exam results are
declared, it would be wise to visit a career counselor and assess your child’s
abilities by undergoing an aptitude or psychometric test; so that they can
select their right career path for a brighter future.
Summer
Camps: Enroll
your kids in summer camp programs that are conducted by several organizations
and associations in various parts of the country. Your child will be exposed to
an overall development by indulging in learning, writing and other recreational
activities.
Let’s
give your children an opportunity to enjoy their summer vacation and simultaneously
learn something new in a fun and enjoyable manner. Good Luck!
