Active holiday and sports entertainments
During educational process many teenagers do not pay attention to sport and a healthy lifestyle. Active holiday and sports tourism — here that is necessary for the teenager. In many cities and the countries there are sports centers which are intended not only for children, but also adults.
Here you will not luxuriate under the sun, and receive a fascinating adventure after which you will want to live and work.

Outdoor recreation
As children are sent to the camp approximately for a month, it in a stock has two more. And in what they are engaged usually? Are online. And somehow to vanish, many parents organize picnics outdoors. This correct decision. Fresh air, swimming in the lake or the small river, tasty food and availability. To such places it is possible to reach not only by the car, but also public transport.
And to solve the first that you need to make — to bring together the family where you are going to go. Then make the list of necessary things: a tent (if you decided to go with spending the night), skewers for meat, a brazier, sleeping bags, ware, a first-aid kit, laying, plaids and also products and drinks.
While "dinner" is preparing, play "Mafia", "Fool" or "Crocodile". As option, the badminton, bouncers or volleyball will approach.
The main thing for the teenager is not to miss there. Therefore pay to children more attention, you do not shout at it if it does something not so, and try to induce it to help you, to play outdoor games.
Creative development
Literally in a month of rest the teenagers do not know any more, than to occupy themselves on vacation, and spend time sitting at the computer. However the days off can be spent with advantage — to develop a brain and the talents.
Important! Do not condemn the child for his interests, they can help him in the future.
Many parents do not even know what gives to children good imagination and creativity. It helps teenagers to take root quickly in any conditions of living which so quickly changes. Children who creatively think can skillfully solve objectives, saving at the same time time and means.
The imagination will help the teenager to create in the future the new ideas which can become further concrete products of human activity.
And in order that the teenager in the future became the creative person, it is enough to begin with himself. Parents are an example for children therefore try to visit various circles on summer vacation and pay attention to what is pleasant to the teenager.
The most popular methods of development of imagination — drawing, the composition of stories and verses, reading and music. Let's stop on each of them.
Begin drawing with the simplest — let the teenager will draw himself. Let uses any colors, forms and figures. While it will do it, try they are draw yourself. You will show these that you support the teenager in his undertakings. If at you it turns out a little worse — praise him, tell what at it turned out better, than at you. If the child likes this business — suggest to register in a circle on drawing and support him a minute of "creative crisis".
Composition of stories and verses
Writing of stories develops good imagination in the teenager. As at such age children experience new emotions which they can not always share with you, the child can transfer all to a notebook in the form of history.
Than writing of stories will help, you ask. And our answer — all. First, it will have an aspiration to read various books to correct the grammatical and spelling errors. Also it will be interesting to it to try various genres of writing. Secondly, it helps to learn a foreign language quicker. The teenager, possessing a big lexicon of the native language, will be able to try to translate the story into the learned language. In this plan your child develops too as will begin to look for transfer in dictionaries and the Internet.
The composition of verses influences creative development of the teenager too. Some children have such ability, it is transferred from parents. However it is not necessary to put to the child an end in this plan if he does not show this ability. It is rather simple to push him on the example. If the teenager likes to write verses — praise him and take an interest in his creations, but only in case he allows to make it. The child has to have secrets.
Reading As was already told earlier, it develops imagination of the teenager. Also he can find similar emotions which experiences at this stage of the life in many books. To carry away it reading, choose one book for two and read it. Then discuss together the novel or history and share the impressions. It will help the teenager to understand that his parents support him and agree with his opinion.
Music Any genre of music develops imagination of the child. Many teenagers associate some moments from life with certain songs. Never condemn the teenager for his musical taste. There will pass the teenage age, its tastes will change, and the deposit from criticism of a genre of its favourite music will remain.
Whether you know? Children who have hobbies are more successful in study.
Learning of foreign languages
Learning languages — a way to happy life. Each teenager at least once dreamed to visit abroad, but without knowledge of language it will be a little difficult to be made. It is easier for teenagers to learn a foreign language, than to the adult. It is connected with the fact that the brain of the child works much quicker than the adult, as well as memory.
However not all children like to study something. In this case you have to not only support the child, but also motivate him. For a start will be to answer his question enough: "Why to learn languages? I am not going to leave the country". This put some idea to children at school as the teacher of a foreign language is not always able to interest, and sometimes does not teach the pupil at all.
Also large role is played by an education system error. The training program is calculated on a superficial learning of foreign language. If you want your offspring to know any foreign language at the level of free possession, then it is necessary to carry out several simple rules. Children can be motivated with viewing cartoons, series or movies. However it is not necessary to force it to do by force. Watching movies together will be the best effect. It will help the teenager to be involved in study process. Besides, at certain skills, your offspring will be able to watch new movies in the original language.
It is no secret, that in foreign Google more information, than is stored in ours. At good knowledge of English at the child new opportunities will open, it is so interesting to learn some councils for a game which very much is pleasant to it. It will help the teenager to begin to look for new words and to study grammar.
It is possible to learn a foreign language and according to favourite songs by the offspring. The fact is that at frequent listening of a certain song the text is remembered. And knowing the translation, the child will be able to find analogs of phrases in books and to remember phrases.
Reading will increase a lexicon of a foreign language of the teenager too. Books with texts, tasks and the dictionary in a set will be ideal. Surely listen to retelling of read and discuss it together. For bigger effect — read texts that the nobility about what there is to them a speech.
If you made everything correctly, then in few months the teenager will be able to read books in the original.
For a learning of foreign language as it was already told earlier, the composition of verses or stories will approach. It will help your offspring to study new lexicon and rules of grammar. — support the main thing and encourage the child. Surely do a bias on grammar. Many teachers more often speak to pupils: "It is not important how correctly grammatical you will tell, the main thing that you informed of a thought to the interlocutor". It is not absolutely right as at ignorance of grammar the child will make many mistakes not only in the letter, but also in a conversation.
If you not always have time for learning languages together with the child, there is special language course. Courses abroad will be great advantage. Your offspring will be able "to tighten" language, communicating with native speakers.
Travel
In the summer it is a high time to visit not only foreign countries, but also the cities. In this section we will discuss where it is worth going for vacation with the teenager.
In Ukraine there are many various rounds over the country. Generally they are made by bus and about 2-3 days last. For these days will show you several wonderful places, will conduct a tour, will feed and even, perhaps, will lodge in hotel for one night. It is also possible to travel not only by bus, but also by train. In this case you will be precisely lodged in hotel and you will have an opportunity to visit some places alone. Such tours will cost you cheap as you should not open the visa or to do the international passport.
The trip abroad can cost a pretty penny, however positive impressions and memoirs — are invaluable.
Important! Before a trip pay attention to period of validity of the international passport and at need prolong it.
As soon as at you the international passport is ready, begin the collecting. Address to travel agency where to you will try to pick up convenient and economical option of a trip. Also do not forget to discuss a travel with friends who already were in the country where you gather. So you learn trip "reefs".
Before a trip be loaded with a positive as it will help you to handle a smile to locals to learn the road to a sight. The friendliness will be your trump. Also surely study culture, traditions, geography and the history of the country or city. It is very important to know values of certain gestures which are used in this country. The fact is that in our society some often used gestures have one value, however in other country it can mean absolutely another.
Surely learn norms of weight of baggage and already then pack the suitcase.
Also in a separate bag put values and a spare set of clothes that in case of loss of baggage all necessary things remained at you.
Cultural and mass leisure
Cultural events are events in which everyone participates, and on vacation for their children there is a lot of. For example, it is possible to participate in mass performances. Certain circles spend set of children for such leisure. They offer not only gifts for participation, but also beautiful suits, free training in dances or songs and also food during participation. However it is not always possible to get on such actions. Many sponsors want to gain income thanks to such performances therefore, perhaps, it is necessary to pay for participation. If your child has a certain skill in music (plays instruments), then with it together it is possible to go to such actions as the combined quartet. It will bring together the child with children of his age and also will teach to work in group. It is possible that your child will continue to communicate with other children further. Do not interfere with it at all if the teenager made a choice to play in group. At teenage age he has to try everything to find itself(himself).
We recommend to you to act by our councils as it not only will help the child to find the hidden talents, but also will improve yours with him the relations.
