As a part of our series on how to manage Summer Slide, let’s take a look at social behavior. Summer break can look quite different from the rest of the year which sometimes includes spending extended periods of time in less structured environments compared to the average school day. Without the daily social interaction, social summer slide refers to the decline in social skills, behavior, and peer relationships. Some of these skills include:
When returning to school, things like social anxiety may be elevated, the child may have trouble with sharing and patience or they may experience big feelings and struggle to self-regulate. To minimize these potential issues, there are many ways to keep social skills sharp and enjoy summer break!
A more consistent summer routine can help prevent summer slide and that can aid with regulation and being ready to learn once they return to school. For more information on the summer slide go to sources like edutopia, IXL Learning and scholastic.com.
