To prevent kids from getting bored and to keep them in the spirit of learning, parents can use the summer holidays for fun learning. Here are some ideas for you.
Bedtime Reading
Learning doesn't have to be formal. In fact, some of the best learning opportunities are the simplest. Bedtime reading brings you closer together and gives you the opportunity to have positive discussions about difficult topics like racism, loss, self-esteem, and more. It's never too early to start having these kinds of conversations.
Movies Can Introduce New Concepts
Watching movies can be a great learning opportunity. Selecting educational movies that introduce new concepts is a great way to engage kids in learning.
Screen time shouldn't be the main form of entertainment for young children, but it definitely has its place. There are lots of great family-friendly films your kids can learn from.
Sports + Spelling Activities
Summer is the perfect time to get outside and move. Exercise is important for both 'physical and mental health, and practicing sports can help kids build skills and become more confident. But have you ever considered pairing summer sports with other types of learning?
Linking physical movement with tasks like memorization and spelling can be great practice and can help kids learn. Some children are kinetic learners. Multisensory learning opportunities, like spelling while shooting hoops on the basketball court, can be a fun and creative way to build knowledge and skills and are great for students with developmental or learning disabilities.

【推荐1】The bonds of female friendship run deep and strong, so are they the new encouraging relationship, or idealized?
In many ways, my close friendships with women are what you’d expect from TV shows like The Golden Girls: emotionally close and involved, fierce and rude. What these shows get right about girl friendship is that our bonds run deep and strong.
There’s no fixed way for these relationships. You might have a group of girls who meet for lunch once a week, or you might have a few friends who aren’t part of the same group.
Healthy friendships are about trust and being able to be vulnerable with each other, not to prove you’re living life the right way. There’s nothing quite like having friends who really understand you, so let’s enjoy our mates without overthinking it, shall we?

【推荐3】One of the biggest topics of the last decade, sustainability has become the beacon (灯塔) of hope to protect the planet. From supermarkets taking action on plastic packaging to the zero waste movement that can be practised from your kitchen, changes made by individuals and organizations across the globe has had an impact on the way we think, shop and live.
So what does that mean for the world of technology? You’d be forgiven for thinking that the words “sustainable” and “tech” don’t usually go hand in hand.E-waste is, after all, one of the planet’s biggest contributing waste streams. Not only that, but the materials that go into tech products are also part of the problem.
But with a challenge comes an opportunity, and there’s already some brilliant progress happening — great news for those of us wanting to be more sustainable with our tech. Firstly, renewed is having its moment. While consumers would previously turn their noses up at the idea of a second-hand device, there’s been a huge surge in demand for renewed tech. The second major step in tackling the problem of e-waste is a change in attitudes from owning a product to subscribing for one. A subscription for a smartphone might sound like a foreign concept, but it’s already gaining momentum. At the forefront of this movement is London-based tech startup Raylo, a pending B Corp which offers a subscription service for the latest iPhone. As customers aren’t paying to own the phone at the end of their contract, the monthly price is significantly lower than average.
Studies show that extending a phone’s lifespan from one to four years can decrease its environmental impact by about 40%.So the next time it comes to refreshing your device — whether a smartphone, laptop, tablet or something else-consider the more environmentally-friendly options that are at your fingertips.
