Why is a summer cottage so good for a child? We have collected the main advantages of summer cottages and are ready to share them with you!
Rest in the country is mostly a deterioration in living conditions. Agree, not all country houses have such familiar conveniences as water supply, sewerage, heating and gas. But this fact does not bother avid summer residents at all, because the advantages of such a holiday are much more than disadvantages. Especially for children. So, what is so good about a summer residence for a child?
Fresh air
City air is saturated with exhaust gases and road dust. The air at the dacha is completely different: the aromas of pine needles, flowering trees and shrubs soar in it, and the nearby rivers and lakes fill it with life-giving moisture. Do you know how much air a person consumes per day? Almost ten times more than food. Our health and, of course, the health of our children directly depends on the quality of the air around us. It is not for nothing that they say that it is easier to breathe in the country - let the child “clear his lungs”.
Long walks
Gathering your child for a walk in the city is a real challenge. At the dacha, this process is greatly simplified: put on your shoes and run outside. And go for a walk all day! And also, if the weather permits, you can eat outside and even sleep. In the city it will not work.
Products from your garden
Fragrant cucumbers and tomatoes straight from the garden, strawberries, raspberries, apples and plums ... And all this is our own, grown with love and without chemicals. And in the village, some of the neighbors will surely find real fresh milk, cottage cheese, fresh chicken eggs and natural honey.
Healthy sleep
Even the most restless kids, who cannot sleep for hours at home, sleep like dead people in the country. That's what outdoor activities and fresh air do with children!
Boost immunity
It's no secret that a child who ran barefoot on the grass in the summer, got wet in the warm rain, swam in the river and sunbathed in the sun - will get sick much less often in winter than a child who spent all summer in the city.
Rest for mom
Surely in the country there will be relatives (grandmothers, grandfathers) who will gladly take on part of the trouble of caring for a child. Even the neighborhood kids who have started a fun game can keep your child busy for a while and give you a little rest.
New discoveries
Where you can see graceful butterflies and fireflies twinkling in the dark; watch the spider weave its web, watch the stars and make wishes when one of them falls; study animals and insects, plants and fungi; help grandmother grow vegetables and fruits, and then cook dinner from them together; chop wood with grandfather and learn how to heat the stove with it? Of course, in the country!
A change of scenery
Changing the environment is useful not only for adults, but also for children. For some, this gives an incentive to grow up and develop, for others - to reconsider their attitude and take great enthusiasm for things that have boring over the winter, for example, lessons.
Communication
In the city, we are busy all the time, we are always in a hurry somewhere, talk on the phone and hang out on social networks. The dacha is a great opportunity to take a break from the bustle of the city and communicate with your child, try to get closer to him. Well, the unique dacha atmosphere, the singing of birds and the crackling of the fire are the best possible way to have heart-to-heart conversations.
Unforgettable childhood memories
Perhaps the dacha is not something special for parents (it can be a routine - long fees, physical labor), but for children it is a real adventure! After all, here you can build a hut or a tree house, bury a treasure and draw up a real map to search for it, fly a kite into the sky, arrange gatherings around the fire ... And many, many years later, fondly remember this wonderful time ...
