Avoid Summer Brain
Drain!!
As the school year comes
to an end, many parent's start thinking about ways to keep their children
occupied during the long summer months. Day camps, pool passes and neighborhood
play dates are on everyone's mind, but what will happen to all
the important information that children learned in school that year? What
many parents don't know is that kids experience a phenomenon called "summer learning loss".
Essentially, they forget
a lot of they learned in the previous school year over the summer months. In
fact, studies have shown that kids lose more than two and a half months
worth of math skills in the summertime. For kids that were already
struggling in math, this means that they will start off the next school year
even further disadvantaged . And it's not just math! Overall, kids lose an
average of 1 month of learning in all subjects during the summer.
Think of a athlete... imagine if they stopped
training for 2-3 month in the year? You would expect that when they return to
their sport, that they would experience a lag in performance. The brain no
different- it needs to be exercised!
