Summer vacation is the best kept educational secret guaranteed to increase your child’s success at school. Not only does it provide an opportunity to relax and recharge after a long and busy school year, research shows that vacations result in:
Improved physical and mental health
Increased well-being and mental motivation
Greater well-being
Decreased burnout
Improved family relations
Boosted happiness
Taking a break from the rigours and routines of school helps alleviate stress which can increase focus and productivity in the new school year. Remember, not everything can be learned in school or from a book – there are endless opportunities for exploration and learning to occur outside of the classroom through experience. Take advantage of this time to bond with your children, learn a new skill together, travel to a new place, or just relax side by side. Whatever you end up doing, have a wonderful summer vacation!
