The cold weather of winter hits people, and with the passage of time, the footsteps of the wax moon are gradually approaching. The middle and late months of the lunar month are the time when many places enter the winter vacation, and the children are cheering for the arrival of the winter vacation notice, and for parents, they are faced with the problem of how to arrange their children during the winter vacation, which makes people fall into the dilemma of thinking.
Winter break is a long-awaited holiday for children. During this time, they can get rid of the shackles of studying, enjoy their free time, and do things that they don't normally have the opportunity to do. Recently, various localities have announced the specific schedule for the 2024 winter vacation. For example, compulsory education students in Beijing will have a 37-day holiday from January 20 to February 25, 2024High school students will have a 30-day vacation from January 27 to February 25. The duration of the holiday varies slightly from place to place, but it is generally about a month, with the longest winter vacation reaching 43 days and the shortest being just over 20 days. Regardless of the length of the vacation, the winter break is undoubtedly an exciting one for kids.
However, for parents, their holidays are nowhere near as long as their children's. According to the "Holiday Arrangement Notice" issued this year, during the Spring Festival, parents have only 8 days of holidays, starting from February 10 (the first day of the Lunar New Year) and ending on February 17 (the eighth day of the first lunar month), and officially going to work on February 18, the ninth day of the first lunar month. In addition, the two weekends before and after the holiday (Sunday, February 4 and Sunday, February 18) are also work. Such a holiday arrangement makes many parents feel dissatisfied and difficult to accept. There are three main reasons: First, there is no holiday on Chinese New Year's Eve. For people in many regions, Chinese New Year's Eve is as important as New Year's Day, and it is an important part of the Spring Festival, so many people find it difficult to understand why Chinese New Year's Eve is not a holiday. Secondly, there is a "move forward and borrow later" type of compensatory leave. This method of compensatory time off is often disliked by people because it deprives people of their normal weekend rest to fill the holiday, making it impossible to relax. Again, the fact that parents as adults have such short vacations while teachers have such long vacations like children makes many parents feel "unbalanced" and trigger unpleasant emotions. However, regardless of the length of the holiday schedule, we should all be aware that complaining about the holiday schedule is not the solution to the problem. On the contrary, we should pay more attention to how to arrange the holiday so that both children and parents can fully enjoy the happiness and relaxation that the holiday brings.
For parents, it is crucial to arrange their children's winter vacation reasonably. Here are some tips to help parents better plan their children's vacations.
1.Establish a vacation plan: Winter break is a relatively long vacation, and it's important to have a reasonable vacation plan for your child. This can help children develop good habits and arrange activities such as study, sports and travel. Remember, your child's vacation plans need to be based on their interests and needs, not too strict, and give them a certain amount of freedom.
2.Arrange your own holidays wisely: During the Chinese New Year, parents may have a lot to prepare, such as cleaning, shopping, and visiting relatives and friends. It is important to make a thorough arrangement to prevent the holidays from always being busy. At the same time, parents should also find some time for themselves to do some activities they like, such as reading, exercising, relaxing, etc.
3.Pay attention to holiday safety: During the Spring Festival, pay special attention to the safety of children. For children left at home, parents should ensure that their homes are safe and prevent accidentsWhen you go out, hold your child's hand firmly to make sure they walk safelyIn addition, it is also necessary to pay attention to food and entertainment safety issues, avoid excessive use of fireworks, and prevent food poisoning.
As the new year approaches, let's make the most of this holiday, so that children and parents can enjoy the beauty of life, feel the hustle and bustle of the Spring Festival, and spend this holiday safely and happily. From another point of view, being able to have a relatively long vacation is a joyful thing in itself, and we don't need to look at the length of other people's vacations, but pay attention to how to arrange the vacation reasonably and let time play its due role. Happy New Year to all!
