The Hung Kings Commemoration holiday is a time for the whole family to gather together. However, parents should build a timetable so that children can implement it while studying and playing healthily during the upcoming holiday. Accordingly, parents should pay attention to adjusting some activities to protect children's health and maintain discipline.

On holidays, children tend to abuse phones and tablets for entertainment. Using electronic devices to watch YouTube or TikTok for a long period of time not only harms vision but also makes children lazy to exercise.
Parents should limit the time frame for using the device and guide their children to other more interesting and useful activities such as playing sports, reading books or walking around the streets with family.
Limit carbonated drinks and sweet foods

Parents should prioritize giving children filtered water, natural fruit juice and maintain a diet rich in green vegetables. Regularly controlling nutrition will help children maintain a stable weight level, avoiding sluggishness and fatigue after long holidays.
Limit staying up late or sleeping at night
The habit of staying up late to watch movies or play easily disrupts a child's biological clock. irregular activities will make children stay up later and sleep late the next day.
Parents need to maintain children's bedtime, not later than 60 minutes compared to normal days. Quality sleep is a key factor in helping children's immune systems function well, especially changing living habits during holidays.
Limit going to overcrowded areas
Places for fun during holidays are often very crowded, so parents should pay attention to limiting children from going to areas that are too crowded. This can easily lead to the risk of children getting lost or contracting respiratory diseases.
Try to choose a spacious space, close to nature, which will bring safety and health to young children. In case of participating in festivals or fun activities in crowded places, you should pay attention to guiding your children on how to behave flexibly if they encounter problems or lose their parents.
