Super-active holidays
Considering the children are the most active person, then we can direct and channel the energy, the activity mengasikan. If going to the beach to swim and play sand or collect shells – too difficult to do, or too far away to be lived, then we can take the children to go to nearby soccer field, to “play football”, or go to the nearest swimming pool , to shoot pool, or, help my father to paint the walls of the house, washing the car, the “assistant” when dad fix cars or motorcycles, cycling in the complex, or, flying kites! Let us remember, how much fun it is “only” to fly kites or play bike. The problem for us parents: do we take the time to our children? Will we cope with and overcome the reluctance ourselves (we might prefer to watch TV and soap operas at home rather than hot-panasan in the sun, or struggling

Adventure Vacations
Adventure vacation, usually associated with expensive and long trip. Actually not necessarily so, because in every place, every town, must have the remote very attractive for the adventure arena. Try if you remember as a child, not chasing kites broke up while browsing the creek – has become an incredible experience? Perhaps, now the creek is no longer there – no problem. We can take the children, go for a walk to the tea plantations, to the botanical gardens, the zoo, to the cave, into the fields, the fishing (in the area cibinong, there is a great fishing to the public, as well as camping and planting), to the mountain, to the hot springs, the waterfall or to the farm (in the circumference of Jakarta, there is a kind of horse stables that are open to the public).
Actually, all of it accessible and possible, as long as our parents, willing to go out of the box, get out from the bed and comfort zone, and doing extra effort to have advanture. Obstacles, is actually more lies in ourselves as parents. We are often bumped the time, and opportunity – but, if we want to be honest, who actually inhibits often, it is ourselves that seemed “too tired to do anything but sleep or just walk to the mall.” In fact, if we want to try to get out of the circle of life and activities that make us energy trapped inside the circle, then we the parents are already on fatigue, we can re-charge the battery energy is low. Provided that, for travel, we do not carry as well as all the ideals and concepts of “ideal vacation, a good kid, perfect parent, etc.” which would only burden our own mental. Let everyone can express their interests, emotions and ideas – precisely because there is the right media to distribute it.
Oh yes, the atmosphere of adventure, should not mean we go away from home. If we, or one family has a house with a yard large enough, then we can set up a tent in the yard, and let the kids “camping” in the tent. Of this moment to moment is exciting, especially when our children join the cousins.

Vacation creative & innovative
We can guide and evoke creativity of children by stimulating their imagination. Basically, the kids were very creative and heavy-loaded by energy. We (or caregiver, or anyone who can we trust) can bring them to the place of art & craft center or science club for children, with relatively low cost . There, they will be presented a lot of things that they do not know, scientific experiments or techniques that will produce works of art that makes them proud of themselves. Indeed, ktia can not always take them to these places. We can create a creative and innovative holiday at home. If we do not have any idea at all about what and how to, we could buy a book that describes a variety of interesting experiments that can be done alone at home. Starting from the experimental element (something simple, such as oil and water), trial color (the color blends) to try to make something / constructing Things – from objects that exist at home, for example: cardboard, cardboard, plywood former, newspaper ex, ex aquarium, empty glass jars, etc. that can be used as a medium or instrument of experimentation or construction. Well, here’s where the role of fathers is very important to accompany and to supervise the boys. And, the role of mother to want to “juggle” things at home, be a potential raw material to create something.
In this same holiday period, the children we can introduce the activities of the “new”, for example: learning to cook (baking, etc.), learn sewing, embroidery, dancing (if that is, may have a course / be a member of the studio), menukang , or raise (not necessarily have to have a large garden, because it can by using poly bags (special bags to plant seeds) or a small pot. Do not worry about things that insignifikan, eg “what if my son was tired, what if the house is dirty, how about a foot hit the ground, how about wet clothes, how about a page so muddy, “etc. … If we’re honest, is not all that worry because we are not bothered or tired clean” furniture “or even clean the dirt?
Well, actually we can all teach our children, how to do everything neatly. We can all teach our children the “responsibility”, that is, when it’s finished, we had to fix it again. Be careful, our concern parents, can hinder a child “received his, learn and internalize the” virtue of character, such as: responsibility, creativity, the consequences (causal), a positive pride in themselves (on the basis of ability The real self – not ride the power and glory of the parents), perseverance, persistence, concentration, coordination (both coordination of the hands, thoughts and feelings – in coordination with other parties) and the one thing that does not lose its value higher, namely: forming the ladder of identity . Every activity, is a self-expression as well as confirmation will be her ability. When children feel “capable” and managed to overcome the challenges that one, so ingrained in him the confidence to carry out exploration for exploration into other fields.

Every holiday season arrives, we often see a different response between children and parents. Children welcome with joy and excitement their vacation, while the parents even dazed and confused because they have to think of activities that can fill a vacation, so the kids’ activities remain focused and quality. Dizziness parents often experienced by working parents, because they can not occasionally take time off from work. Demands of work makes them not easy to leave the half-way responsibility for the affairs of “vacation”. Ideally, between parents and children, there is good planning in determining the time “with family vacation” so there is no need to sacrifice the interests or responsibilities. But, of course, time off once a child is relatively long compared to the rest of the work, will never “match” with his parents. How to manage the activities, especially when parents can not extending their holiday time with the child?

Cheap Vacation
Understandably, that in the busyness of parents, from morning till night, working full time, all energy, thoughts and ideas we are often stuck – no longer can think of other things apart from work today and work tomorrow already in-advance thought out the night before. In such circumstances, we parents often forget that we too were once a small, once past the childhood is very, very much different from the childhood of our children today. First, we grow and develop in an environment very, very much simpler, with no shortage of “media” play and game facilities. There is only space and materials that we can make games without having to pay expensive and without having to incur expensive transportation costs. Back yard, neighbor’s yard, grandfather or grandmother’s garden, a small moat in front of the house – often used to play, especially in times of rain.
