How we can develop our child's mind during this summer session?

Home is the primary and immediate area of socialization. So it is important for us to make the home an interesting place and a very compatible and friendly environment to promote and maintain healthy relationships between all the members and most importantly.
All of us due to the technological advancements, are mostly into our mobile phones. We can use games and apps on our phones to keep them engaged in the process of learning.
We can also do some healthy family bonding activities so that they enjoy some quality time with the family and learn from it at the same time.
One of the best way is by playing group games. Board games like Ludo, snakes and ladders and chess. These games help maintaining solidarity and friendliness amongst the family members and could cater to increase the thought processes and iq level of children. Playing dumb charades , antakshari, singing , dancing and organizing small quizzes among the members helps in building the kid's morale and through quiz, his general knowledge increases.
You can binge watch family movies, comedy movies, historical and informative movies so that everyone will enjoy and kids will learn out of it.
Games like monopoly etc might help to provide some quality time. Games like crosswords, scrabble will help increase their vocabulary and knowledge.

Reading them stories and books will increase their literary skills, and their knowledge of books.

All these activites, including organzing quizzes from their academic books will help increase their brainpower and develop them better.

The development of a child's mind majorly takes place between 0-6 years of age. Although development continues while the rate goes slow. In the summer season you can do the following things which may help in the fast development of your child's brain:

1. Reading: Reading immensely helps in the brain development of your child. Make him read words like dog, cat, apple. If he is too small to read, then read with him using picture books. It helps in developing communication and recognition skills of your child.

2. Sense of belongingness: Children feel better when they get the sense of belongingness of a particular place or friends' group. This improves their mental health and development. For instance, school and group of friends. In the summer season, due to vacation, kids lose their network. In such cases, make your kid comfortable. Become his best friend, listen to him and let him explain his feelings to you.

3. Play: Playing is most important of all the activities in the development and growth of your child's mind. Play with him different games, especially outdoor games. Keep him away from video games at this age.

4. Comfort: Sometimes, your child can be stressed out, mentally or physically. Both affect his brain development. In such a case, give your child the needed comfort, compassion and love. Always be available for him, make him share his problems with you and help him out with the things he is worried for.

5. Food: Some foods are essentially helpful in the development of the mind. Green-leafy vegetables, berries, walnuts, almonds, fatty-fish are some of the things that actively participate in the development of the brain.
