La lectura recreativa siempre será un bello momento para compartir bien sea que le leas a tus hijos o que cada miembro de la familia, “voluntariamente”, lo haga. Resalto lo de voluntaria porque la idea es el disfrute de la actividad, este no es el momento de corregir, regañar ni presionar, ya para eso hay otras horas.

Otro aspecto relevante aquí es que no importa la edad, invita a tu hijo a que lea, si anteriormente no ha realizado la actividad es probable que le dé pena y se niegue, pero insiste con cariño, cada día, cuando lean juntos, invítalo a leer, llegará el momento en que se atreva.

Si el libro tiene figuras se guiará por él para “inventarse alguna historia” como si estuviese leyendo realmente, cuando se atreva es importante reconocerle que ya está aprendiendo a leer y que no haya burlas. Este proceso, los docentes, lo conocemos como lectura hipotética, una etapa maravillosa para iniciar al niño en lo que será su proceso de lectura.

Estimados padres y madres de la comunidad felicitaciones a sus queridos hijos y que en familia disfruten de unas alegres y merecidas vacaciones.

In English

Taking a look through the posts of the @motherhood community to know what is being talked about and how the Children's Day celebrations went, I find that the highlights of the week were the end of the school year celebrations.

Of course it is an excellent reason to celebrate, since culminating a school year and having obtained the desired achievement, being promoted to the next higher grade, always represents the effort of many people: parents, teachers and the student, who regardless of age, made the greatest effort to achieve the proposed objectives and be placed in the next level.

With this contentment that gives the "fulfilled duty" come the vacations, the deserved rest, relaxation, break with some of the daily routine doing those things that we like and to recharge batteries.

However, the children's vacations do not always coincide with the parents' vacations and what at first is a great joy can turn into a headache because we do not have the time to take care of them, we have to look for someone to accompany them during the hours when we are not there and sometimes we do not have the money to go on vacation. The list of limitations can be long, very long.

However, being willing to make our children enjoy their vacations with the resources we have can make a big difference, so cheer up, do your best and make the time together special moments.

Although improvisation is very good, it is convenient to have a minimum planned as this allows us to foresee some activities to be carried out and the resources we may need to make it motivating, in the same way that organizing ourselves will give us a greater chance that what is planned will be successful.

Having clarified these points, here are some suggestions of the many activities that could be done, I hope you enjoy them and that we awaken that inner child, that creativity flourishes to make these vacations rewarding moments.

1.- Hiking

Going for a walk is a rewarding activity that can have many intentions, among them:

A.- To exercise and clear the mind: Plan simple short walks just for the pleasure of doing them to stretch your legs, breathe different air, clear your mind, watch the sky and observe the little or a lot of nature you find in your path. If the area you have available for walking, no matter how urban it is, you will always find natural elements to highlight and make that moment a space for relaxation.

B.- Treasure hunters: Going for walks with the intention of going out to find specific objects can be something that excites children. In one opportunity they can be human treasures, which many of us would call waste, but depending on how you look at them they can be the footprint that man leaves behind, so here they can enter: a piece of wood, glass, metal, paper, plastic, cloth, concrete, ceramics, in short everything that says that man is here.

Another day we can dedicate ourselves to the traces of nature: leaves, flowers, seeds, stones, earth, a feather, a nest and any natural element.

With these elements we can then make a plastic activity at home, for example, a collage that represents the two worlds: the natural and the cultural.

We can also collect leaves from existing plants in the community, identify them, dry them and investigate their use. As you can see, the walks open up possibilities, we take the children out of the house to an open space that we can take advantage of in many ways.
