Laura Honathan believes parents and guardians should not deny them this rare opportunity which comes only twice a year because it allows children to meet new people and explore the countryside to get that extra exposure and relax after several months in class.
“For the children, it is always a new experience and above all they get exposure during travel, which can inspire them and help strengthen bonds between family members,” she says.
According to her during such vacation parents should encourage children to mingle with their good peers and make new friends, play together and engage in fun activities.
“Therefore, visits to amusement parks or theme park over the weekend will be a perfect place for them to enjoy,” she adds.
