First, go back to grandma's house or grandma's house.
Old people on both sides now live in the suburbs, although it is convenient to take a bus. Usually they will come to see us and give us something, especially grandma always runs once or twice a week. But on the one hand, our family concept is more traditional, and the elderly take care of the children. As a junior, I have to go back to visit on weekends, which is the belonging to my family and the filial piety to the elderly. Moreover, children can be with grandparents or grandparents all day, whether they are old people or children, which is an emotional need.
Moreover, in summer, children prefer to go to grandma's house, because every May, grandparents will move to the old house in the village, with a big yard. Mother-in-law chose a small vegetable garden and planted 7 or 8 kinds of dishes that she often eats. From sowing to fruiting, the children do it themselves, play with mud, have a water-splashing festival, burn a firewood pot and I will give it back to them. In addition, the village environment is relatively closed, and everyone knows that even 1/3 are relatives and friends, so the children are completely herding sheep. They can often go out to play at eight or nine in the morning and come back at eight or nine in the evening. At most, I will go home for dinner at noon and evening, then disappear after eating, and sometimes I may even eat at someone's house. These are a little unimaginable for people living in cities now. To tell the truth, we usually don't dare to let our children go downstairs to play at home, because we are facing the streets and downtown areas, and the buses at the door extend in all directions, and there are also scenic spots that must be visited by tour groups. When I go out every day, there are people everywhere, so I have no time to accompany my children, so I can only leave them at home to play. Grandma's house is not as free as grandma's house, but it is close to Yongding River Park and Grand Square. We often fly kites, play badminton and have picnics, which is also very interesting. The key is that the air in the suburbs is much better than that in the city. If we change the environment, we will change our mood. For us, every time we go back to the elderly, it is as easy as a holiday. ...
Second, outdoor activities.
In summer, if time permits, I will take my children to climb mountains several times a year. We once had the experience of taking them on foot for 20 kilometers. At that time, my son was 5 years old and my daughter was 2 years old ... We occasionally spent half a day fishing and going to the wild lake. Because I don't know much about it, my main responsibility is to take care of the safety of children. Actually, I don't need to take care of anything. The children are old and well-behaved. I know to keep quiet when fishing. The last fishing this year, 3 hours, my son caught 10 small crucian carp by himself. I am so excited. Of course, there are times when you are busy for hours and get nothing. Although I am inevitably depressed, fishing can hone children's patience and self-control. I can also read a book by the way, but I am a little tortured by too many mosquitoes. If we don't have time to go to the suburbs, we will also take our children to a nearby park for half a day. The Temple of Heaven, Taoranting, Beihai, Jingshan and Zoo are the places we go most often.
There are not many outdoor activities in winter, mainly1from the end of October to February 165438+. I will take a day off to take my children skiing on weekends, but I had an operation on my knee last year, so it is estimated that my husband will take turns to take care of the children himself in three years. Although both children started skiing when they were about 3 years old, our son's skiing skills have always been good, and many advanced ski trails around Beijing can ski, but even so, we dare not let him completely slide out of sight before 16 years old, so Mr. Wang Can only takes one at a time, which is safer.
Third, visit the museum.
Take advantage of geographical location and go to museums or art galleries when there are no other arrangements. The Palace Museum, the China Art Museum, the May 4th Movement Memorial Hall and the Drama Museum are all close to my home ... only a few minutes' walk away, while the National Museum, geological museum, the Postal Stamp Museum, the Police Museum, the Beijing Planetarium and the former residences of various celebrities ... Unfortunately, such good resources are not fully utilized by cars at most.
Fourth, watch stage plays, concerts and movies.
This part of the expenditure is really quite a lot in my family. Before I had children, I went to the People's Art or the National Theatre almost once a month, so after I had children, I naturally turned this habit into going to the theatre with my children. Before joining the headlines, we watch at least 1 ~ 2 children's stage plays every month, most of which are children's art performances, and occasionally go to Poly or Tianqiao to watch some imported troupe performances, both at home and abroad, and watch at most 7 stage plays a month. Since I joined the Headline Troupe, I now watch 1 ~ 2 puppet shows every month. In addition, cartoons and documentaries about life and nature are generally shown in cinemas, and children are also taken to see them. And concerts. I listen to 3-5 concerts a year. I chose "Duo Duo Mi and Big Grey Chicken Series" for my children in Beijing Concert Hall, mainly for children's music enlightenment. Occasionally, friends send tickets, which are basically New Year concerts or my favorite Joe Hisaishi music appreciation. But someone gave me two tickets a few days ago, and I didn't know it was Debussy's piano solo music until I went there. I was a little worried that my 5-year-old daughter wouldn't listen, and as a result,
Fifth, stay at home.
Of course, occasionally we don't want to go anywhere. When we don't want to do anything, we just stay at home, do what we like, read books, draw pictures, watch TV and even sleep, without disturbing each other and accompanying each other. Of course, this time is not common in my family, only occasionally.
Since last year, the boss's study task has been aggravated, and the usual interest classes can be reduced. If the children really don't want to lose weight, they have to move to the weekend. It took a whole day to play football, so now my husband and I will work together on weekends. For example, this past weekend, I originally planned to go back to my grandmother's house during the day on Saturday, but my parents signed up for a trip to Vietnam, so we had to change our arrangements. My son has been doing homework for more than half a day because of his homework. I do most of the manual work at home with my daughter. She wants to make Christmas cards for her preschool classmates and teachers. In the evening, Mr. Wang invited a friend to the club to play basketball. We went together. The children went to the children's playground there to play, and also took time to practice shooting and shooting in the basketball hall. I wrote Wukong's question and answer in the open-air cafe next to me and watched the children. On Sunday, Mr. Wang goes to class with his son in the morning and plays football in the afternoon. I visited geological museum with my daughter in the morning and continued to make handicrafts in the afternoon. In the evening, the whole family went to see the movie Dream Journey. Last weekend, we watched two stage plays, Shawn the Lamb and the Wonderful Journey of Kelly, and went to the China Art Museum to visit the exhibition "From Ming Sijia to Contemporary Wumen". And next week happens to be Christmas, and we are preparing for a family reunion. ...
In short, children are already very nervous about their studies. Now the school talks about happy teaching, but the pressure is invisible. The teacher just reduced the teaching tasks in the classroom, and the pressure on children to go to school has not decreased at all, but even so, I can't bear to completely deprive children of their childhood. Moreover, in my opinion, children's growth needs not only the knowledge in books, but also the understanding of life and the exercise of various abilities. Some things may not work for a while, but time is the best proof. Of course, even if it is really useless, I think it is excellent to let children have a favorite weekend after heavy study and make them happy.
