Arıca, who is also a Child Health and Diseases Specialist, said that the students will enter a 9-day rest period starting from tomorrow with the midterm holiday and Ramadan Feast.
Arıca explained that during this period, students should not be given homework, students should not study and make good use of the holidays.
Expressing that parents have some complaints during the holidays, Arıca continued: “The complaints of the families are that their children sleep a lot, eat a lot, deal with social media or do nothing during the break. What kind of plan should parents make for their children? First of all, when they go on vacation, the family is alone. “They need to make a holiday together, not just a plan on their own, but also a vacation plan that they will take the child in. Most importantly, they should continue in the same way during the break as they sleep and feed, especially during the school period, so that they do not have sleep and feeding problems.”
IT AFFECTS YOUTH NEGATIVELY
prof. Dr. Arıca pointed out that spending a lot of time on the screen negatively affects children and young people.
Arıca, who gave advice to parents on this subject, used the following statements: “Children can deal with television, computers, social media and technological products a lot during the break. They need to reduce it especially during this period. There is a very special formula for this. “A child of 7 years old can engage in social media or technological devices for a maximum of 70 minutes a day. The most important point here is that we must make him feel that we love and trust the child unconditionally.”
Emphasizing that students’ success or failure should not be compared with other children, Arıca also suggested that they consume plenty of fluids due to seasonal changes.
