Summer programmes can add a lot of fun to the long holidays, but only if they fit the child

Angela Baura:

With the long summer holidays upon us, many parents will be hoping to keep themselves sane and their children entertained by signing them up for summer classes. But with a plethora of programmes to choose from, selecting one that will entertain and educate your child can be a daunting task.

"One of the most important considerations when selecting a summer programme for your child is their interest," advises Dr Caleb Knight, an educational and child psychologist at the Child and Family Centre in Central. "It is not productive to push a child into a programme of activity in which they show little motivation."
