Lot of work for the li’l kidos to do!

Summer holidays are no more about fun-filled capers and lazy afternoons... there is a whole lot of work for the li’l kidos to do!

The growing trend of organising fun for kids could be a result of parents having very little time to spend with their children and so are instead opting to spend big money on pampering them. “I started working again a couple of years back after my daughter started going to school. Now, during summer vacations, my husband and I can only take a break of maximum 10 days to either spend time with her at home or take her out for a holiday. But, beyond that we need a place where she can have fun and learn too,” says Deepika Hari, Media Planner with an ad agency. Though conventional wisdom advises one to keep up with the times, it is also advisable to allow children the space and time to make mistakes and learn on their own. After all, there is nothing quite like whiling time away, reading books, watching cartoons, spending time with grandparents or playing for hours with neighbourhood friends. For some of the most important lessons in life are those learnt at home.
