Usually, I go to the kindergarten to pick up my children from school. After school, parents lined up to enter the park, and it was their turn. Parents flocked to take their children away. The child was very happy to see me, because the distance was close, so I took her hand in hand and went home. In April this year, the child's grandmother came, and she took the child home from school every day. Grandma usually plays in the community for a while after picking up the children and waits for me to go home together after work.
These days, I drove back to the community, passing by the small garden where the children played, and then drove to the parking lot. The child found that it was my car and strode from the small garden to the parking lot. As soon as I got off the bus, she jumped into my arms. Or I can park my car and go to the small park in the community to find her. Far away, when she saw me, she jumped on me and plunged into my arms. At that moment, I was happy. It feels good to be expected, waited, needed and missed by children.
I was originally very immune to e-commerce children's books. On the one hand, thousands of Chinese and English children's books are kept in my home. On the other hand, I basically go to the children's library once a month, and I can borrow sixteen books at a time. Books stored at home and borrowed books can almost meet the reading needs of children at this stage. However, I can't resist the constant single-handedness among book lovers, and the parents of our generation have devoted themselves to their children's education, so I started to be restless and choose whether I have my favorite books.
There's an activity in JD.COM, 100 minus 50, so we can grab it again in different periods. After several robberies, it has been sent. Boxcar Boys bilingual version that I paid attention to before, I took part in the activity of 100 minus 50 this time, so I simply placed an order directly, without waiting for 30. Before buying, I asked my children for advice. She told me that I don't like van boys. But I heard that Kang Ma, the author of Kang Ma School-I send my children to a famous American school, strongly recommended this set of books. Kang Ma thinks Boxcar Boy is a rare good book, which covers almost all kinds of grammatical phenomena and has wonderful sentences. She opened a summer camp this summer to talk about this set of books. So I hesitated again and again. Although my children said I didn't like it, I placed an order in JD.COM to buy the first and second seasons of Boxer Boys. A series has eight books, four in Chinese and four in English.
After the book arrived, I browsed it first. It's really an entry-level first chapter book, which is simpler than magic tree house and crazy school. Before I asked my child to listen to the original sound, she could understand a little. Children choose their own Chinese version. It seems that she put the book in her hand until she went to bed under my repeated urging. I hesitated before placing an order, and now I am very happy to see my children studying so seriously. She likes reading the books I chose for her, and a sense of happiness arises spontaneously. At this time, it doesn't matter whether you can buy this set of books at the lowest price. The important thing is that it is worth the money, and the book plays its role.
Some parents worry that their children don't like reading, and they are too crazy to play outdoors to call home. My house is just the opposite. Children prefer quiet to moving. After playing outside for a while, I clamored to go home. The good thing about this habit is that they can sit still, love reading and read independently. The downside is that children don't have enough exercise and sports ability.
This semester, the kindergarten began to let the children in the big class practice skipping, and none of them could jump. After several group exercises, there are not many children in the class who can't jump at all, only a few. I began to feel anxious, so it became a compulsory course to practice skipping every day. I told my children not to go home immediately after school, but to practice skipping in the community garden before going back. After asking several times, she asked if she could jump, but she couldn't say it.
I realized that it was still not effective to assign tasks without checking (from this perspective, parenting and work are interlinked), so I asked to go to the club to practice skipping after school and check how many times I could jump after my mother came home. With strict inspection rules, the child has made rapid progress. On the first day, she jumped from 0 to 8, the next day from 8 to 20, and the third day from 20 to 50. Although she jumps slowly and sometimes stumbles, she is making progress day by day. I smiled when I saw her efforts. The problem of "can't jump rope" that troubled us has finally been solved! I am sincerely happy for her progress, and I am a happy mother at this time.
