When filling a long school vacation time, it becomes important for parents to plan a variety of quality activities to build emotional attachment, rather than allowing little to spend the rest of her vacation time playing the gadget.

Often encountered some obstacles faced by parents, such as children who tend to spend more time playing the gadget, while parents are confused to find ideas that fit the activities of their children, but want children to remain productive. According to Ratih, all physical activity can provide stimulation to provoke a response that can train the growth of brain. Especially because it can develop some aspects of children's intelligence, including psychomotor, cognitive, emotional, and psychosocial aspects. "Most importantly, the activities held by parents provide stimulation to complement the life skills provided at school. This is important in the process of character formation of children, "said Ratih.
