Emotional and behavioral disorders in children represent a major public health challenge, with consequences on personal development, academic learning, and social relationships. While school holidays provide children with much-needed rest, they may also expose some to a lack of stimulation, isolation, or environments that are not conducive to their psychological well-being. These idle periods can exacerbate inequalities, particularly for children from disadvantaged backgrounds who have limited access to enriching activities and positive social interactions.
