Summer holidays begin in schools across Spain, opening up that three-month period when parents have to balance their work schedules with their children’s need for entertainment. Fortunately, technology opens up a world of possibilities, which SPC presents through six tips that will make your life, or at least the holiday period, a little easier.
Although there is always the option of summer camps or entrusting their care to grandparents, the reality is that an 8-hour workday makes it very difficult to cover all the fun moments our little ones need during the holidays. However, technological advances can help us a lot to entertain and even take care of our children without having to stop paying attention to our own responsibilities. For this, SPC, the Spanish technology company specializing in consumer electronics products, offers six tips to help you better balance work and family during this long school holiday period.
- A tablet, the best travel companion
When traveling, it has become almost essential to carry a tablet loaded with content to keep the little ones entertained during the trip, especially if traveling by car. If, in addition, you include educational apps and games that help them have fun while learning, you will also help them review what they learned during the school year without having to resort to dry summer workbooks. Whenever you have a little break, join them during their viewing and games: they will appreciate the shared time and can ask you any questions they have.
- Shared music, at home or on the go
A common fun activity during trips is playing music. You can also bring this entertainment to your home if you work remotely, or to your vacation spot. Ask your children to play their favorite songs and choose yours to play on your own phone or on a wireless speaker like the SPC SOUND POWERPOOL. This way, besides sharing fun and a good atmosphere, you’ll get to know their musical tastes better, and they’ll get to know yours.
- Their first readings, lighter and easier
If you have gotten your children used to reading to them for a while each night, there will come a time when they want to enjoy books on their own. The natural reading experience provided by an e-Reader is very comfortable since what appears on its screen is electronic ink, making it very similar to reading on paper. Additionally, it is the ideal solution to carry enough books for the entire summer without having to lug around a bunch of volumes, all in a lightweight and convenient device.
- Always attentive to what might happen
If you have the opportunity to move your workplace to your vacation spot so you can spend your free time with family, your children might want to explore the area with their friends. To give them that freedom without worrying about losing contact, you can buy them a phone suitable for their age: it could be a feature phone that allows simple communication or a smartphone that lets you know your children’s location.
- Headphones for every situation
Especially if you have very young children, there may be times when, even while working, you need to watch them because no one else can take over. In that case, a good help can be a wireless headset with built-in microphone so you can make calls while keeping an eye on them from a distance or even attending to them directly.
- Your meetings, also remotely
When working remotely, you may face difficulties holding video conferences without a good Wi-Fi connection, which might force you to move away from home. To avoid being away from your children, a solution is to connect via your mobile phone using 4G networks, for which you can use solutions like YEALINK VC MOBILE APP, which help save bandwidth and ensure the best possible video and audio quality.
