Hi~ 小寶真是可愛

Talking the Talk How can you tell if your child's language development is on track? Right now, she should be learning several new words every day. So listen for surprises in her vocabulary. How your child explains something that happened provides another clue. It's apt to sound like a story, with a beginning, middle, and end (however brief): This happened, then I did that, and then we went home. Your 4-year-old now Language skills are progressing to near-grade-school proficiency now. Among the highlights: Four-year-olds learn as many as four to six new words every day. Sentences are longer and more complex, containing multiple clauses as well as adverbs and adjectives. Four-year-olds can reason out hypothetical situations such as, "If this happened, what would you do?" They're learning to define the meaning of words and grasp the idea of opposites. They're more proficient storytellers and can relay tales with a beginning, middle, and end. Your child may now be able to adapt her speech to the situation at hand. She may say, "Mommy go bye-bye" to a younger child, compared with "Mom went to the store for milk" when talking to Grandma. Your child is also better able to follow multiple steps: "First cut on this line. Then glue the paper here." Following two or more unrelated directions is another development: "Please bring me my purse and then give the dog some water." You'll notice improvement in pronunciation and grammar, although speech still isn't error-free. Four-year-olds should be understood by strangers essentially all the time, although some sounds are still not perfect. Your life now The best way to instill healthful habits in your child is to develop them yourself. It's hard to forbid drinking soda pop if you down Diet Coke for breakfast. Avoid keeping separate "mom food," "dad food," and "kid food" or referring to food that way. At the playground, don't just sit on your duff and watch; stretch, chase your kids, or do pushups against a bench.
早上突然想起要帶小馨去學琴,準時到達音樂教室後,開始了半個小時的課程。 上完後整體感想是:老師不夠親切、沒有主動與小朋友自我介紹打招呼,感覺上就是為了上課,與幼兒相處並不熱切,加上小馨自己說會害羞,第一堂課的學習效果並不好。 課程結束後想簡單與班主任聊一下,感覺也是很世獪,為了賺錢而賺錢,並沒有告訴我以後如何與小孩互動,他們的作法如何.... 不過,總是第一次,我想還是會持續一個月每週一次的課程,上完後再看看小馨的反應囉!
終於找到時間好好整理小馨的衣服,之前散亂在床上有許多夏季衣物,全部都要收納起來,看著這些衣服,想想明年夏天時,小馨可能都穿不下了... 有些衣服即使穿不下,我也捨不得送人,因為看著這些衣服都會讓我想起小馨兩三歲時可愛的模樣,不知道還有沒有機會生第二胎,我是真的捨不得將可愛衣物送人。 不過跟往常一樣,我又嚴重過敏了,即使帶了口罩也一樣...直到晚上六點老公回家到我們去吃飯,我才漸漸脫離過敏...
半年前曾經詢問過,今天確定先報名四堂課(NT2000),從下週日(10/27開始,早上9:30-10:00),每30分鐘500元,哇!好貴喔! 先讓小馨試試看囉!
Hit the Pool Whether you're inclined to book your child into classes and lessons or not, there's one item every 4-year-old should have on his calendar: swimming lessons. Learning to be safe and comfortable in the water is a must for kids, and doctors say your child now has the muscle coordination and attention span to learn — and retain what he learns for the rest of his life. 美國這麼重視游泳課,四歲就可以開始培養他的肌肉協調和注意力,游泳對於小孩真的很重要,這是除了「鋼琴課」外,可以去探索的課程。 Your 4-year-old now Your child may be like a little fish in the water or he may cower at the edge of the pool. Either way, swimming lessons are a great way to learn water safety and work on coordination. 這幾次帶她泡湯玩水,其實她很喜歡玩水,剛開始會有一點點害怕,之後就敢自己在水中走來走去,或套著泳圈游來游去。 Four is usually a fine age to start. To learn to swim, a child must be mature enough to be in the water with an instructor but without you and must be able to get around without swallowing a lot of water. He needs to be able to pay attention to directions and be able and willing to stop doing something when told to do so. 感覺上小馨應該已經會聽指令了,應該可以讓她學游泳了,住家附近有一個泳池,下次帶她進去瞧瞧! Start by finding a certified instructor who has experience with young children. Many community pools, sports facilities, and places like the local YMCA offer courses for young beginners. With 4-year-olds, the class needs to be fun; ask if the lessons incorporate music or games. Your child also should be allowed to progress at his own pace; it's not unusual for a child to stay in a beginner class for more than one session. The first go-round might simply be spent getting comfortable in the water. Make sure there's adequate supervision. At this age, a good ratio is one instructor for every four children. For beginners, lessons should cover water safety, as well as basic floating, breathing, and leg and arm movements. Your life now If your 4-year-old is a talker, that's a good thing. Take steps now to be sure that he'll still want to talk to you when he's 14.哈哈哈!好好笑!現在是個chatter box,到了14歲就不是這樣了,記得我青春期的時候,還是很愛跟媽媽聊天、說學校發生的事情,希望我的女兒也會這樣。 有時覺得小馨好吵、聲音又銳利,當我希望好好睡上一覺的時候,總被她的高分貝吵的睡不著,不過四歲的她,講話好好玩、好好笑,讓我有忍不住想聽。 昨晚睡覺時她問我:媽媽,妳會夢到什麼? 我:彩虹吧!那你呢? 馨: Cinderalla! 嗯嗯,可愛的小孩,希望你慢慢長大啊! One of the best ways to foster good communication is also the simplest: Pay attention. Of course it's impossible to give your undivided attention every time your child opens his mouth, but do try to turn to him, look, and listen as much as is feasible. Keeping your eyes on your computer screen or flipping open your cell send the message that your child's words aren't important. So does interrupting him in the middle of a thought. Think how you'd feel.
最近小馨的園所歡迎小朋友作愛心,於是帶回一個紙撲滿,希望在11月xx日前將所存的零錢捐給貧困的小孩子。 小馨的愛心當然不落人後,我們也那回一個撲滿,可是該怎麼跟孩子說「存錢」這件事呢?她才4.5歲,怎麼才能讓她理解存錢的意義呢? 果然上星期六早上,小馨看完了海盜王卡通後,就說要錢,然後哭了起來,一哭不可收拾,只是一直吵「要錢」、「要錢」...我跟老公都有點受不了,我還跟老公說,千萬不可以為了不要她哭就拿錢給她,不可以妥協... 後來我帶著哭哭啼啼的小馨進房間,好好跟她說「存錢」的道理,說我們不是在跟同學比賽、我們也不是要將錢存到最多才給老師,而是要慢慢存,有能力才存錢... 講了很多,也不知道她這樣懂不懂,後來她漸漸停止哭泣,要馬麻抱抱,我知道,她終於接受了。 這件事我有另一個感受:幸好我忍住,沒發脾氣,不然小馨又要被我挨罵了!
昨天是週末,可是我愈來愈緊張,頭痛狀況一直無法紓解,睡眠情形很差,我到底怎麼了? 我真的不適合這裡,想到這裡的一切都會讓我頭疼,老天爺,求你趕快讓我離開吧!
早上吃完早餐,很悠閒地在家,不用上班的感覺真好! 原本買了紙風車的票,得知可以退票後,馬上就出發到青年公園的全家便利商店退票。 退完票,沒有目的地就開車閒晃,小馨在車上已睡著了,我們沒有壓力地開車...開著開著就到了北投,突然我的眼睛看到「北投機廠、北投會館」,知道這裡面有兒童遊戲場,小馨一定很愛,就臨時決定要去玩。 我們去的時間剛好,正好等了一下下,上個場次的時間結束,這個場次從3:30-5:00,正好我們輪流陪她,不過因為我沒帶襪子,只好老公進去陪她玩。 其實她一個人玩是有點無聊的,如果有認識的伴更好,不過..唉,沒辦法啦!晚上到士林夜市吃東西,士林夜市改到地下後,空氣流通視很大的問題,尤其一堆店家都是炒的、煎的、炸的,感覺都在聞廢氣,小馨還小,帶她去人聲吵雜的地方很累,她小小的身軀被擠來擠去, 我們草草吃了兩攤後就離開了,離開後竟然下雨....唉,狼狽啊!
連續參加5年的國慶日了,今年沒有參加,有點可惜,唉!這是什麼爛單位啊! 早上天氣還不錯,趁著中午大太陽前我帶著她去陽光公園玩,之後騎腳踏車,後來騎不動了,趕緊call老公來帶我們,老公來了之後也載著她騎了一大圈才結束。 後來我們到青年公園,天啊!簡直人擠人,我們不死心還是進去買了三張票,看了長長的隊伍才放棄,轉到公園內的遊樂場玩,不過人一樣超多,玩個設施都要排隊,受不了,天氣又熱,我們後來就匆匆回家了。 p.s.洗澡時才發現自己被曬傷了,恐怖啊!
小馨愈來愈大,也愈來愈會玩ipad,這幾天只要在家,她都習慣拿我們的ipad或iphone來玩,一直要我幫她付費,買新的game... 我知道這樣不好,我也在制止她,為了不讓她想玩平板,只能一直陪她玩:躲貓貓、玩積木、畫畫圖... 一有空就想帶她出去走走,只可惜台北的冬天常下雨,只能拼命找一些室內遊戲場讓她玩。 現在只是剛開始,還有漫長求學過程,希望她的眼睛不要近視啊!
Learning Responsibility Having something to dote on, like a plant or pet, is great training for your child's budding sense of responsibility. That doesn't mean you should bring home a puppy just yet, unless you plan to do most of the work yourself. Your child is far from ready to take full responsibility for an animal. What she is ripe for, though, is a chance to help out with small jobs that make her feel useful and teach her what living things need. Your 4-year-old now Your child isn't ready to be responsible for a plant or animal yet. But she is old enough to help out with watering and feeding. These small chores teach responsibility. Helping to take care of a plant or garden is a great first job for preschoolers. They love to watch plants grow, flower, and bear fruit, especially when they feel it's partly their doing. Get a watering can that's easy for your child to hold, even when it's full. It shouldn't be too large, and ideally it should have a very long, thin spout to minimize spills. The first few times, show her how much water to use, then put her in charge. Don't expect her to remember when to water, though. You'll need to remind her. The same goes for feeding your pets. Your child is probably an eager helper, though not ready to initiate the work consistently. She'll need reminders about when to scoop food or fill water bowls. Be sure to teach how to do this safely: Your pet shouldn't be around when food is poured, and your child needs to know never to tease him or try to take his food away. Animals may snap to protect their food. Your life now Now's a great time to initiate "family night" or "pizza-and-movie night" in your household. Your child is old enough to appreciate a special ritual and will be one of its strongest keepers once the routine gets started. Some families hold an "unplugged" night where there are no electronics, only board games or other old-fashioned activities. Some hit a family-friendly restaurant for Sunday brunch. The main idea is to do something together as a group on a regular basis. It's an idea that can help keep your family close in the years to come.
Routine Matters No matter how free-spirited and even defiant your preschooler can sometimes be, know that structure is the best thing for him and your entire household. When children don't know what's happening next, they can feel anxious. And anxious children are irritable, angry, uncooperative, and unhappy. Routines offer security and reassurance. In addition to having clearly stated family rules, many families find that using chore charts and incentive programs encourages good behavior. 我也覺得能給孩子一個固定的、規律的生活常規是很重要的事,小孩很聰明,他知道許多原則在家裡是適用的,但在阿公阿媽家就可以隨便,因為阿公阿媽並不會給小孩這種束縛或原則,反而是讓她盡情發揮精力,而這就是讓我不快樂的原因之一。 舉例來說,有天晚上在外面吃飯,因為椅子較多排成一排,小馨坐下來之後阿公就問她要不要脫襪子在椅子上,我一聽之後馬上制止,但已經來不及了,小馨樂得脫下襪子在椅子上跳來跳去...唉,這個阿公不是最討厭自己的孫子這樣沒教養嗎?想不到孫子不在,他卻同意小馨可以如法炮製,這豈不令人生氣!!?? Your 4-year-old now What do chore charts, incentive programs, and family rules have in common? They all offer the structure that a 4-year-old needs. They let your child know what's expected of him: "If I clean up my toys all week and Mommy marks off each day on the chart, I get a trip to the dollar store." 這招我也用在今早(10/8)的起床事件上,話說我調到新單位後,必須要9點前到勤,因此每天早上我都精神緊繃、總是不耐煩+語氣不好地催促小孩起床、穿衣、穿襪、穿鞋...每次的下場都是小馨大哭、我像惡婆娘般結束一天的早起,因此這次我想了方法,睡前就跟她說,如果她可以乖乖起床、不哭不鬧地穿衣服,直到上車前都不亂哭,那就可以得到10塊錢,累積多了,我們就將錢捐給貧苦的孩子... 這小妞今早果然說到做到,直到我下車離開她都表現良好...我真的很高興!! Admittedly, rules and programs are a lot of work to maintain. You have to think them up, explain them to your child, and then be consistent about following through. Make it easier on yourself — and boost your odds of successful results — by not using more than one incentive chart at a time. It can be hard to stick to a routine when you're juggling schedules of multiple children or if you have a demanding job, but if you can dig in and stay consistent, you'll reap the rewards. Often the very presence of a chart inspires your child to keep up with it even when you forget. Don't be surprised if he's the one reminding you that he did his chore and is ready for a gold star. Your life now Your child can brush his teeth (somewhat), wash and dry his hands and face, and perhaps comb his hair — well, sort of. No doubt you're happy to check those tasks off your daily to-do list. Cutting nails is one chore your child won't be ready to take over for a while, but some kids like to help by working an emery board over the rough spots after you finish or by having you cut each nail almost all the way and letting them tug it off themselves.
前兩天發現台北市竟有免費的室內親子館,為了配合到北投泡湯,因此就預約了北投親子館.. 其實小馨已經4.5歲,她在裡面玩得有限,設施有點不足,不過我想把她帶去跟其他小孩互動是很重要的,她跟我說,穿黃色衣服的女生是她好朋友,其實不過就是跟她一起玩躲貓貓遊戲的小孩,願意跟她一起數"1、2、3、4....",這樣就成為她的好朋友,想想她真是可憐... 約莫三點帶她去金都旅館泡湯,1.5小時要799元,母女兩在裡面倒也自得其樂,不過後來時間到了,飯店人員頻頻打電話來催促,真是不喜歡! 之後我們到北投公園走走,晃到北投圖書館,果然很有特色,之後就搭公車回車站。 在公車上小馨睡著了,叫醒她時很不忍心,因又帶著她轉捷運....到了家裡幫她複習數學題,可是她連數字都還不會寫,怎麼會有這樣的作業呢? 教她作業讓我忍不住想發怒,唉唉,以後這種事還是交給把拔,把拔最有耐心了!
已經一個多星期囉,有幾次怕她晚上會尿尿,忍不住幫她包了尿布,隔天早上發現尿布還是乾的,今早也是,昨晚沒包尿布,也沒尿床....ya,真是太棒了! p.s. 這只是「紀錄」,希望不要寫了紀錄之後就尿床啊! Knock the wood!
Rise and Shine! The early bird catches the worm — but sometimes also catches grief from a sleepy parent who isn't ready to play at 5 a.m. You can't control the exact times your child actually falls asleep or wakes up. The best you can do is to instill routines that encourage predictable sleeping and waking times — and have a plan in your back pocket for when things go awry. 希望這種情形不要發生啊!小馨很少很少早上五點起床說睡不著,不過倒是有一次,不到六點就醒來,然後自己打開電視看,當然這樣一來我也沒睡好啊! Your 4-year-old now: Often, 4-year-olds who are otherwise good sleepers wake up too early, long before the rest of the household is ready to start the day. If it's a chronic issue, the trouble may be too much napping or a bedtime that's too early. Most 4-year-olds have given up naps, but if she's still napping longer than 30 minutes, keep in mind this will be subtracted from her nighttime sleep. 是啊,小馨已經不用午睡了,在家裡要帶她午睡也是件困難的事情,反而不如讓她繼續玩玩玩,撐到晚上八九點反而容易入睡,不過有時下午在外面玩,一上車就想睡覺,要注意不要讓她睡太久,不然會影響晚上睡眠啊! If early wake-up calls happen only sporadically, there's no harm done, and you don't need to get up early, too. By 4, your child is old enough to understand that she shouldn't wake up others but is welcome to stay quietly in her room (or come and join you for a morning snuggle). Keep quiet playthings in her room. Try leaving out fresh books at night so she'll have something interesting to look at when she wakes up.我覺得這點建議實在太棒了!在她房間放幾本「新鮮」的讀本,萬一她提早起床,就有事情可以做,而不是只會打開電視看(唉唉...我真是不良示範啊) Agree on a signal that indicates it's time to "get up" and leave the room: your alarm clock going off, for example, or your calling to her. Try putting an analog clock without a second hand in her room and place a sticker on the hour at which it's OK to get up. Your life now: Now is a good time to check whether your child's immunization record is up-to-date. This is a requirement for enrolling in kindergarten, so if your child's annual exam falls after the school registration date, you may need to make a special appointment to get shots taken care of. For example, the final doses of DTP (diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis), MMR (measles-mumps-rubella), and polio are due between ages 4 and 6.
中秋連假9/19-9/22
TV: Friend or Foe? Children's fantasy lives really begin to take off during this year, and the lines between reality and fantasy can be blurry. What they see on TV or in a movie can confuse them in ways that surprise you. This is part of the reason it's important to monitor your child's media diet. Your 4-year-old now At 4, your child may have trouble understanding that TV characters — even if they're cartoons — aren't real. Unless he's watching something created for preschoolers, it's wise to stick close by while the TV is on. When someone dies or gets hurt on a show, for example, you may want to explain that it's just pretend. Kids don't really understand the difference between the show and the commercials, so explain that commercials sometimes stretch the truth to get you to buy something. If you're not sure what's age-appropriate, try to think as your child would: If I believed this was real, would it scare the pants off me? (How many children have had nightmares after watching the flying monkeys in The Wizard of Oz?) If your child does get scared, don't dismiss his fears as irrational. As much as you tell him something's not real, he'll still have trouble believing it. Better to say you understand how he feels and reassure him that he's safe with you. Your life now Struggling with the mountains of paper that document every stroke of your child's creative output since he first learned to hold a crayon? Save them — but virtually. Scan the artwork and save it on your hard drive. Post favorites on a family website or e-mail them to Grandma. Give pictures of people top billing — your child will love to watch a slide show of his evolving style as he gets older. Getting rid of the bulk will allow you to happily keep a few choice pieces on display around the house and on the refrigerator. You can later date and file away your favorites in a large envelope or portfolio.
這兩天晚上開始不包尿布,結果都成功囉!星期二晚上第一次嘗試不包尿布,結果搞得我緊張兮兮,晚上都沒睡好,半夜起來摸她的小屁屁,不知道有沒有濕... 前晚及昨晚都沒包尿布,也都成功了!真的很高興!不過我還是容易緊張,睡覺都沒睡好....唉,這是代價嗎?
Girls Will Be Girls Children's ideas about gender are both inborn and learned, research shows. Four-year-olds are keen social scientists, carefully watching how people behave. They use visual cues like hair and dress to help them figure out the differences between males and females. Now that they understand that boys and girls are different, they're working to understand the different behaviors associated with each gender. 嘻嘻!這件事情一定要紀錄一下! 早上全家出門,把拔因為要參加正式的論壇發表,所以穿了西裝,小馨在電梯稱讚把拔好帥(可惜把拔已經先離開電梯倒垃圾,沒聽到她的讚美),我回說:那我們都不帥喔.... 馨說:沒關係啊!我們可以很漂亮啊! 果然,她知道「帥」是用來稱讚男生,女生要說「漂亮」,這大概也是她認知男女生的差別吧! Your 4-year-old now At 4, kids' notions of the roles of males and females are becoming more defined. A daughter, for example, knows Dad's a boy, she's a girl, and she's working on figuring out what dads do differently from moms. She may not be entirely clear, though, that all moms are female and all dads are male. While she can identify males and females by their dress and general appearance, she can still be fooled. If she sees a man wearing a kilt or sporting a ponytail — exceptions that go against the "rules" she's absorbed over time — she may think he's a woman or that his sex can change. As children observe and imitate people of the same sex, they may adopt stereotypical attitudes in an effort to get the role just right. They may express disdain for a girl who plays football or for a boy who wants to play with the girls. Even in families that have tried to provide lots of gender-neutral play, this age brings out exaggeratedly stereotyped behaviors and attitudes like, "Girls never do that!" While accepting such stereotypes is normal for a child this age, you can encourage your child to see beyond labels. Question any generalizations your child may make or hear in the media. If your son says, "Girls can't play hockey," show him pictures of the women's Olympic team. Remember, too, that parents often unwittingly reinforce gender stereotypes. Do you compliment your daughter on her appearance rather than her actions? Do you tell your son to toughen up when he cries? Many parents are surprised to find their sons cross-dressing at this age during play, but there's no reason to think it means anything about their sexual orientation. Four-year-olds like to copy one another and build on one another's imaginary play scenes. Gender is very much an evolving concept at 4. Your life now Often, 4-year-olds are excited to hear a favorite evening babysitter is coming. Make the time more special by having certain board games that only come out for the sitter (maybe the ones that drive you insane with boredom because you've had to play them a zillion times). Leave a special treat they'll both enjoy, and you'll come home to a happy kid and a happy sitter. 我們沒有幫小馨找sitter,或者說在台灣,阿公阿媽就是最好的sitter,一般人不會另外找保母看小孩,我們當然也沒有找,都是自己顧小孩。其實小孩很需要有玩伴,應該找她的同學來playdates,不過....礙於我比較害羞不主動,不曉得如何跟其他家長提這件事,因此小馨還沒有這樣的體驗。 再過兩年她就要上學了,小學後找playdates會更不容易,我何時能夠有這個勇氣跟其他家長說呢...?
一早梓熏就來叫我們起床,然後出發到麗寶樂園囉!我們玩到四點多才離開,搭5:39高鐵回台北,然後晚餐就在大坪林站涮涮鍋隨便吃吃... 老公晚上也到高雄參加城市論壇,今晚就剩我和小馨兩人!
小宣來接我們,中午四個大人加上四個小孩在花珍饌用餐,然後下午一起到水里車裎走走....
這兩天太陽穴抽痛,很不舒服。 明明星期一下午就開完會了,感覺壓力卻沒減輕,因為會後有更多的待辦事項要做,很煩人...而且我很容易緊張,天啊!再這樣下去,我遲早會生病的啊!
Wondering what kind of sport your child should take up? For most 4-year-olds, the question is premature. While some show an early interest in athletics, many won't be enthusiastic for quite a while. The healthiest course for all preschoolers — even the ones who seem like promising athletes — is to get daily physical activity in lots of ways, including plenty of undirected play. 的確!一直很想讓小馨去學個才藝、練習腳踏車...等等,但都沒有行動,現在文字上說,四歲小孩的持續力還是不夠,我想我可以稍微安心一點點,因為小馨真的是這樣,自行車買了,也很有興趣騎了,但都持續不久就放棄。現在她有時會說要談鋼琴、要當音樂家,我是不是該當真呢? Your 4-year-old now It's generally considered premature to think about sports for a 4-year-old. Most fours still lack the physical or mental skills necessary to enjoy learning a game (like the ability to pay attention, focus, and follow rules). At this age, they're also starting to feel more self-conscious. Striking out in front of a big crowd may lead to tears and frustration and turn them off sports for good. 「四歲的小孩還是太以自我為中心,多數的小孩仍缺乏毅力,太多的受挫會讓他們缺乏耐心且降低對運動的熱忱」。昨天才聽老師說,小馨與同學一起拔河,結果小馨力氣大、個頭也大,很容易就扳倒對方,結果同學就哭了....其實是在上英文課,談論"stronger"一字,想想四歲小孩還是不肯認輸的,也很可愛啦! So what should you do for now? All kids hone their physical skills through play. An hour of exercise is the minimum recommended for this age, so make sure they get plenty of backyard or park time. Clambering on playground equipment or riding a bike works as well as playing catch. Once your child becomes more coordinated, in elementary school, he'll be more ready for organized sports and more enthusiastic about the idea. And as his personal interests and abilities blossom, it'll be easier to find a good match for him. Your life now You're probably a pro by now at praising your child for good behavior like picking up toys. Help encourage respectful behavior by giving positive reinforcement for politeness, too. Comments like, "Thank you for saying 'please' when you asked for dessert" or "Thank you for not interrupting me on the phone" teach your child that these efforts are worthwhile, too. Teach him how to politely greet both children and adults.
大約今早凌晨,我因為頻頻做夢,導致睡眠不是很安穩,突然聽到小馨起床後蹦蹦的走步聲,原來她出去找把拔(已經早上四點多了,把拔還沒睡...唉∼),原來是小馨想尿尿,要把拔帶她去廁所... 這是有史以來第一次半夜自己醒來說要尿尿,以前都會直接尿在尿布裡,現在果然不同了! 不過好奇的是,我就睡在她旁邊,怎麼她會出去找把拔幫忙,而不是找我呢? 嗯...不解..
Playing Make-believe Your child's imagination is boundless. This year, maybe more than any other, you'll see that creativity during play. It's through fantasy that your child tries on different roles and "practices" new experiences and emotions. You don't need to buy anything special to encourage imaginative play. Your child can cast himself as the lead in any drama he can think up without a single theater-quality prop. Imaginary要開始了嗎?好期待喔!其實光跟小馨一起玩,就見識到她豐富的想像力:這一秒她可以是老闆、下一分鐘馬上變小孩,我常常被弄的無所適從,不過也真好玩啦! Your 4-year-old now Sticks become swords. Blankets transform into superhero capes. Preschoolers love to use props to enter the world of make-believe. At four, your child's imagination is in hyperdrive. She can become whomever she chooses — a fossil hunter, mother, or pilot. Pretend play allows your child to explore new roles, resolve problems, and negotiate relationships. Her fantasy creates longer, more complex dramas that can roll in others, so now play scenes can last many hours or be repeated across several days. 棍子可以變弓箭、毛毯是超人的外衣....小馨還不致於如此,不過最近幾天晚上已經在玩"hide and seek"的遊戲,她就像鴕鳥一樣,只要將自己全身躲起來、用毛巾蓋住,就算是「躲」了,當然我們可以很快找到她。反觀當把拔躲起來時,因為家裡很大,她不敢獨自進入黑漆漆的房間,只好拉著我一起找,或耍賴不玩了....四歲小孩還很單純!真幸福! 話說回來,這樣的想像力說是可以讓小孩更有創造力、適應能力愈強,呵!我也希望小馨不要這麼快長大,她的preschooler童年只有兩年了,好難過這四年過的這麼快啊! To help her travel to these fantasy worlds, keep a box of props on hand — the more versatile the better. Your old shoes and cast-off clothes spur more creativity than store-bought character costumes. You may also be surprised how many uses your child can find for the same object: A basket can carry goodies to Grandma or be a sailing ship for her doggie. Look around the house for ideas. Empty cereal boxes and broken toasters can stock a pretend kitchen. Stuffed animals and cardboard bricks become a zoo. If you keep the objects in a box or trunk, rotate them occasionally. Your child will love rummaging through to see what's new. Your life now Make your life a little easier by encouraging your child to pick up after herself — in the playroom, her bedroom, the bathroom. Don't wait till a room's a wreck to tidy. Instead, build some cleanup time into daily routines; before you move to the next activity (say, from bath to bed), spend a few minutes having "pickup time" together. Eventually your child will learn to anticipate this ritual. At this age, a simple command to "clean up your room" won't work without you breaking down that overwhelming task and working with her on it, at least as the "executive organizer."
和老公帶著三個姊妹到中興遊樂園,天氣有時熱、有時被烏雲遮住,不過還是玩得滿頭大汗! 中午到「水雲居」用餐,小宣也回來了! 回家後四個小孩在家裡玩了好一陣子,三樓是她們的嬉鬧空間,就盡情玩吧! 晚上我們一家三口就匆匆趕回台北了! 兩天一夜真的好短暫啊!
全家在家休息一天!
最近不知為何突然懷念起外婆枝仔冰的滋味,於是昨天晚上特地買了白色酸梅(已買不到紅色酸梅,有色素!)、玉米粉及冷凍帶...決定和小馨一起做冰棒! 前一晚就煮好白酸梅,不過第一次做,不知道水、酸梅及玉米粉的量如何拿捏,後來才發現酸梅放太多了,水加的不夠,不過,沒關係,總是第一次嘗試嘛! 小馨也很興奮地幫忙,幫忙將梅子放入袋子中,很棒!這樣她就有參與感囉! 趁著中午吃飯前將冰棒放入冷凍庫,這樣回家後就可以吃囉!
Your Little Reporter Who, what, when, where, how, and why are the standards of a good reporter. And that's what your child is now — gathering up all the facts and turning them into stories and conversations that make sense. Nonstop questions can drive parents crazy, but if you go with the flow they can also be a charming way to engage with your child, while clueing her in about the workings of the world. Your 4-year-old now Conversations can sometimes feel like interrogations with curious, chatty 4-year-olds. A particular favorite now is the "wh" words: Where are we going, Mom? When will we get there? Who are we going to see? Why isn't Dad coming with us? As part of her new mental abilities, she's getting all the connections put together. She wants to see the order of things. Another reason for the nonstop questions is that your child's vocabulary is exploding, and she wants to practice using words to probe her world. Intellectually, she's beginning to understand that there are reasons for things — and she wants to know what they are. Try not to brush off questions, relentless though they may be. Keep your answers short and sweet. She doesn't really want a long-winded scientific explanation of why the sky is blue. When you get tired of answering, ask questions back instead: "What do you think?" If you notice a persistent theme to questions that show your child is really curious about something — say, clouds — visit the library together and check out a few books that fuel the interest. Who knows where her questions may take you? At the very least, you'll learn how to tell a cirrus from a cumulus. Your life now Perseverance is an important trait to model for your child. Studies show that people who are persistent — rather than those who have high IQs — tend to achieve greater success in life. Let your child see you going the extra mile, whether it's fixing something around the house or sticking with the same project such as a big book or a painting night after night.
把拔今天要到研究室工作,沒關係!媽媽早就安排好小孩的活動:看電影! 沒錯!星期三才跟園所到信義區的華納威秀看"Turbo",今天我們又到同樣地方看不同電影: Despicable Me!(神偷奶爸2) 其實這部片有點不容易看,畢竟這是續集,有點懷疑小馨是否看得懂? 不過...媽媽我因為下午電影院太舒服,有一小小段時間眼睛閉起來休息,結果卻被小馨發現...哈哈!真不好意思! 這次看電影我們買了popcorn 及soda,母女倆很高興地邊吃邊看...愜意極了! 看完電影又帶她到新光三越四樓捏粘土,好貴了!小馨選了2點的作品,結果要NT1000呢!做粘土時間只有30分鐘不到吧!帶著小孩逛市區真是花錢! 後來走到市政府戲砂區,終於被我找到了!可惜我們沒帶工具,不過小馨一直說要玩,只好讓她邊走邊哭一路搭公車回家(公車上已經睡著)。 回到家精神卻變好了,幸好沒再吵我要去玩砂,結束在市區昂貴消費的一天!
