Weekends are the time when all family members spend together. Any activity and household chores can be turned into an exciting communication that will benefit not only children, but also adults.
Household chores
Use weekends for productive communication with children. When you do cleaning or other activities with them, you teach the children to set a goal and develop a plan to achieve it. Having achieved the result, together with them compare it with the original intention. So, using the example of simple actions, you will teach children planning and analysis.
Involve children in household chores. Even at an early age, they can carry out simple assignments. Let it be a little help and the quality of the work done is low, but this way the children will feel responsible for a certain amount of responsibilities. In addition, this way you can gradually pass on your experience to the children. In their future independent life, they will repeat your actions, armed with them as an example.
The common activities that you carry out with the whole family bring you closer together. If during the work week each family member is more busy with their work or study, then on weekends you can become closer to each other. It is at such moments that family cohesion occurs, and the awareness of love and care is also felt more acutely.
Joint entertainment
A weekend getaway can also help strengthen family relationships. Choose such types of recreation that will allow you to enjoy not only adults, but also children. This will become your common vivid memory and a boost of energy for the next work week.
Organize a trip out of town. The closeness of nature, fresh air will have a beneficial effect on the health of the whole family. In addition, outdoor recreation will help calm the nervous system and restore strength. Also, such trips develop endurance in children and give new knowledge and impressions. During these days off, you will be able to consolidate in children information about the flora and fauna, natural phenomena and cause-and-effect relationships. This knowledge will be assimilated better than in kindergarten classes or lessons at school.
A weekend evening can be devoted to visiting a circus or cinema. Vivid impressions will give a lot of positive emotions to all family members. It can also help you take your mind off your day-to-day problems. After showing or watching a movie, be sure to ask the children what they liked and remembered the most. Such conversations will contribute to the development of their dialogical and monologue speech, as well as logical thinking. Invite the children to reflect their impressions in the drawing. This will help improve their visual skills and creativity.
