\nAn educationist has emphasized the importance of purposeful activities to keep children intellectually stimPulated during the winter breaks.
\n\u201cWinter breaks are not just about leisure; they are a valuable time to enhance a child\u2019s cognitive abilities and creativity,\u201d Dr Ayesha told a private news channel, urging the parents to consider activities that foster both academic and personal development of kids.
\nShe suggested incorporating structured learning opportunities into the break, including reading challenges, where kids explore diverse genres or even take on writing projects to express their thoughts. She stressed the importance of family engagement in educational games as it not only reinforces learning but also strengthens the parent-child bond.
\nBoard games, puzzles, and even strategic video games can be valuable when enjoyed together. Sadia also recommended hands-on learning of children through experiments and projects. \u201cSimple science experiments related to winter phenomena can ignite curiosity. From creating a mini snowstorm in a jar to studying the science behind frost, these activities stimulate a child\u2019s interest in the world around them.\u201d
\nSimilarly, she said art and music contribute significantly to cognitive and emotional development. \u201cEncourage children to explore their creative side through winter-themed art projects or learning a musical instrument during the break, she noted.
\nThe educationist concluded by advising parents to view winter vacations as a golden opportunity for enriching a child\u2019s overall development.
\nBy combining structured learning, interactive technology, family engagement, hands-on experiments, and creative pursuits, children can make the most of their break while laying the foundation for a lifelong love of learning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
