All kids today are extremely active both physically and mentally. Along with school, we parents juggle hobbies, sport, tutor lessons and more. When all this happens the whole year through, its only essential that kids get some down time during the holidays. And that includes being bored!
You’d be amazed at how many kids are upset that the school year is finishing. And rightfully so, because they had a daily routine and a social life that is abruptly ending. And the following school year will be different with different kids and a different classroom lifestyle.
Hobbies are activities that a child may love to do as a child, continue to follow through adulthood and pursue it all through their lives. A hobby gives a sense of security and a space for self-expression for kids and adults alike.

Today’s kids have a lot of pressure on them thanks to social media. Previously it used to be just a bunch of their friends and we called them peers. Nowadays, it’s the whole world – your friends, their friends and enemies, grandparents and literally every one who’s vaguely associated with your child are on social media. So how can we help them handle this pressure?
Most kids look forward to playing in the water and bath time. Bath time is when kids actually have a lot of fun in the safety of their home with parents. Interestingly bath time with toys is proving to be a great time for developing various skills.
