How Should Children Spend Their December Holidays?
December holidays have begun, and children are naturally very happy these days. So, please do not spoil their happiness with your ego or unnecessary strictness. Let them play. Let them enjoy. At the same time, make proper arrangements to protect them from the cold.
The question is: How should children spend their December holidays?
👉 Some Useful Suggestions

1. Avoid scolding children unnecessarily:
   Control your anger and frustration. These two weeks are the time you will have them close to you. Treat them with love. They are guests for only a few days. Soon schools will reopen, and they will again be running like an ox at the oil press—school, madrasa, tuition, nonstop. Let them spend these days peacefully.
2. Let them play freely:
   However, after 8 a.m. in the morning and after 5 p.m. in the evening, encourage them to play indoor games due to the cold.
3. Bring storybooks for them:
   Children read storybooks with great interest and enjoyment.
4. Fathers should take children to their workplaces:
   Visits to offices, shops, or workshops help children learn practically about life and professions.
5. Spend as much time as possible with your children:
   Talk to them, listen to them, and teach them good values and positive habits.
6. Invite their classmates to your home:
   Serve them food and let the children spend the day together. Social interaction is important for their growth.
7. Visit close relatives:
   This strengthens family bonds and teaches children the value of relationships.
8. Take them to nearby recreational places:
   After returning, ask them to write an essay or story titled “Today’s Trip.” This improves creativity and writing skills.
9. Give children a diary and colored pencils:
   Encourage them to write daily. This greatly improves memory and expression.
   For younger children, provide coloring books instead of diaries—they will be very happy.
10. Cook their favorite foods:
    This makes holidays more joyful and memorable for them.
11. Take children for walks:
    Go for morning or evening walks yourself and take children along for healthy physical activity.
12. Encourage gardening:
    Create a small garden outside the house or give them flower pots to plant and care for. This keeps them engaged and responsible.
13. Show them beneficial videos:
    Educational, humorous, Islamic and moral training videos are helpful. Programs on Madani Channel and series like Ghulam Rasool and Kaniz Fatima are informative and interesting.
14. Teach household skills:
    Mothers should teach girls basic cooking and household management.
    Teach boys tasks like washing dishes, doing laundry, cleaning rooms, etc. These are essential life skills.
15. Play “Guest and Host” games:
    Divide children into two groups and play a pretend invitation game. Teach them how to welcome guests, serve food and communicate politely. This helps them learn social manners.
16. Involve children in community cleanliness activities:
    Take them along for cleaning the mosque, neighborhood streets, graveyards, or the graves of deceased relatives. This builds responsibility and community awareness.
    ✨ Conclusion:
    December holidays are a golden opportunity to nurture children emotionally, socially, and morally. With love, patience, and thoughtful planning, these days can become lifelong memories for them.
