With the arrival of summer, many families face the same dilemma: Should my children do homework during the summer? Opinions are clearly divided. Some argue that it’s important to maintain school work habits and prevent the “forgetting” of what was learned, while others prefer to completely break from routine and prioritize rest and a break from academics.
June arrives, and with it, the end of the school year—eagerly awaited by some and dreaded by others. For adults, it can sometimes mean exhaustion, reports, and the all-too-familiar phrase: “Now what do I do with the kids?” For children, the end of the school year is also a special time, filled with many emotions, but often accompanied by uncertainties they don’t always know how to express in words.
As parents, choosing the right school for our children is a moment filled with fear, uncertainty, and often a few sleepless nights. After all, we all want what’s best for our children. But I invite you to reflect: is what they’re selling me as “the best” really what my child needs?
Welcome to this space—a place where education, psychopedagogy, and motherhood meets with the experience and perspective of someone who has lived it both in the school classrooms, through emotional and cognitive support given to families and children, and within her own family.
