Five ways to engage your child next summer

• Coding workshops
• Coding is fast emerging as a sought-after skill
  amongst parents all around the world. More and
  more parents realize the immense potential of
  software development and want to give their kids
  a unique edge by giving them an early start in
  this field. You should have no trouble finding a
  coding class for your kids this summer where they
  will learn specialized software and pick up
  essential coding skills. You can even opt for a
  trial class, to begin with and then re-evaluate
  your decision.

• Opt for online courses
• If you are amongst those parents who believe that
  their child shouldn't stop learning even during
  the vacations, you can always opt for online
  summer courses. These days, many leading schools
  offer unique classes that you can take online
  during vacations. Many coaching classes too offer
  these specialized training sessions where little
  children can learn new subjects, prepare for
  upcoming exams, and in general advance their
  knowledge from the comfort of their homes.

• Computer science camp
• Believe it or not, but these days you can even
  find a computer science summer camp. Similar to
  coding classes, these camps are meant to be a
  slightly longer format where children from
  different parts of the country learn about
  computers in general. They pick up essential
  skills, learn how to work with software, operate
  and fix hardware, and in general, get a headstart
  in the field of computing. If your child loves
  computers, this would be the perfect summer
  activity for them.

• Sports camps
• If you have a child who loves playing sports or
  is generally very playful but just hasn't found
  the right sport, sports camps can be a
  transformative experience for such kids. At such
  camps, contrary to popular belief, kids are
  encouraged to play and enjoy the process of
  playing without worrying about the result or
  outcome. Of course, their skills are honed and
  they are prepared to participate competitively as
  well but the focus is on ensuring kids fall in
  love with sports.

• Photography courses
• These days, thanks to smartphones, everyone has a
  camera in their pockets and almost everyone has a
  budding photographer hidden somewhere inside
  them. If your child loves clicking pictures or
  has a fondness for cameras, you may want to
  encourage this particular interest. You can get
  them to sign up for a photography course and most
  neighborhoods have a bunch of these available
  locally. Such casual courses not only teach kids
  how to click better pictures but also encourage
  them to develop an artistic eye and a keen
  aesthetic.
