But this does not always have to be the case, as there are options available to ensure they have some fun time over the holidays.
- Get your children to play sports or games which at least requires them to get active by playing indigenous games or even taking them for a walk around the neighbourhood.
- Take your children for a day out to the park for a picnic.
- Encourage craft projects.
- Go out to a theme park with the family for some fun and games.
- Spend time with them in the kitchen to bake or make tasty treats.
- Just because schools are closed doesn’t mean your children can’t read, so encourage them to read just for pleasure.
- Take them to watch a movie at the cinema.
- Keep an eye over the children whilst they cool off in a pool.
- Get them to clear out their cupboards of toys and clothes they don’t use, then donate these to a home or shelter.
- Put up Christmas decorations as a family.
If as a parent you will be working over the holiday season, try and organise for someone to keep an eye on your children and to keep them entertained.
