“Winter breaks are not just about leisure. They are actually valuable periods during which children’s cognitive abilities and creativity can be enhanced,” Dr Ayesha told a private news channel. She urged parents to consider activities that foster both academic and personal development in children.

She suggested incorporating structured learning opportunities in their break time, including reading challenges where they can explore diverse genres and even take on writing projects to express their thoughts.
