"In my opinion, during the summer vacation, we should reduce the time for extra classes and focus on sports activities to increase movement, improve health and fitness, create excitement for children, and prepare them mentally for the new school year.

My son is 11 years old this year, still shy in communication, so this summer vacation my husband and I agreed to let him participate in children's activities in the neighborhood, so that he has the opportunity to interact and help him become more confident in communication. In addition, I bought him some assembly games to stimulate his creativity. In the late afternoon, I often take him to the stadium to participate in football matches to exercise his health and physique."

"During summer vacation, I feel comfortable because I don't have to go to school and can wake up later than usual. Every day, I spend time reading the books my dad bought and playing puzzles. In the afternoon, I get to play soccer."

Ms. Vuong Nu Thanh Huyen:I think that since it is called summer vacation, children should be allowed to rest and play comfortably. Next school year, my daughter is preparing to enter first grade, but I do not focus on extra study, but on the contrary, let her participate in cultural and artistic activities, creating comfort before entering the school year. Therefore, I registered my child for drawing, dancing and swimming classes, my child showed great interest.

"In previous years, during summer vacations, I often attended gifted classes because these were my favorite subjects. At the same time, I found a part-time job to gain life experience and earn income to buy clothes and books for the new school year. These jobs helped me feel comfortable and happy during the summer vacations.

But this summer, I will spend a lot of time reviewing my 11th grade knowledge and learning the 12th grade program, preparing for the exams in the next school year. However, I still actively participate in summer activities in the neighborhood, because I am also a Youth Union officer. Through that, I feel more active, sociable and cheerful."

"I think that after a hard and stressful school year, the children should be allowed to play comfortably, improve their health and spirit to prepare for the new school year. My eldest son will be in 4th grade next year, and he is very passionate and loves football.

Although we don't want to let our child go to extra classes, my husband and I also don't want to let him play freely, because we are afraid of dangers such as accidents, drowning, being lured by bad guys... Therefore, this summer vacation, I let him join a soccer class at a club in the city to control his time and activities, improve his health and most importantly, he can satisfy his passion."
