Enjoying the last days of the April 30 - May holiday, parents should spend time by your side and guide their children to do housework together, whether it's small or big, but it will help them understand the connection with loved ones. This is also a way for children to cherish the moment with grandparents, parents, siblings and relatives during the holiday in the countryside.
Proactively help with housework
Every time you return to your hometown on holidays and Tet, there will be indispensable gatherings with the big family. Teach children to help with housework with everyone, young children doing small things or older children doing big things. This is a way to help children be aware of proactively helping their family.
From going to the market to choose fresh ingredients to cooking delicious dishes with grandparents, parents and aunts and uncles, or cleaning the house, not only sharing a part of the responsibility but also helping children gain more skills and life experience for themselves.
Visiting the health of the elderly
Parents should also teach their children to always ask about the health of grandparents, aunts and uncles and elderly people in the family. Holidays in the countryside are also a time to help children become more attached to relatives and family members far away whenever they have the opportunity to visit.
Let's choose practical gifts with our children to give to the elderly in the family. Gifts that are not too fussy or materialistic, such as a milk box supplementing calcium for grandparents, soft walking shoes for aunts and uncles, or a shirt or backpack for siblings, will make everyone feel the care for each other.
Know how to listen and understand
Parents also teach their children to always know how to listen and understand when talking to grandparents, aunts and uncles and older siblings when visiting their hometown. Enjoying a cup of tea and listening to grandparents and elderly people talk will make children understand more about the family lineage. At the same time, children can also understand the feelings that adults in the family want in future generations.
A sense of responsibility
The fact that children are aware of part of the responsibility to shoulder the family will reassure grandparents and parents somewhat. The children's care, even the smallest thing, also moves the adults in the family when they see the daily maturity of their children.
The act of sharing responsibility with everyone in the family will make generations always have close bonds, love and support each other in life.
