In the face of the rare winter vacation, do you think about how to spend it with your children?
If you are having a headache for this, you may wish to take a look at the suggestion of the little boy Jun——
01, find the sense of ceremony, and prepare for the New Year with your children
Today's children seem to be less and less looking forward to the New Year.
No need to boil paste, no need to paste window flowers, no need to set off firecrackers, no need to wait for new clothes... Now the Spring Festival ceremony is becoming more and more streamlined, so that children's expectations for the Spring Festival have been streamlined.
The writer Mai Qianqian said, "What kind of ritual you give your child, what kind of values he will get from it."
So, instead of thinking hard about what to eat and wear for the New Year, it is better to create some sense of ceremony suitable for contemporary children and give special meaning to this festival, such as:
Prepare your child for a windfall
A well-prepared gift can make children feel the love of their parents and can also give them the ability to love others.
The whole family cleans up together
Cleaning up together is not only to get rid of the old and welcome the new, dusting away the dust, but more importantly, to let the children have a sense of participation and understand the true meaning of the festival: reunion, unity.
Make Chinese New Year's Eve meals with your children
Assign small tasks to the child, let the child choose the dish and set the plate. In the pyrotechnics of chai rice oil and salt, look for the temperature of home and traces of love.
Take a family portrait
Every year during the Spring Festival, a family portrait is taken at a fixed time and place. Let your child always remember:
Home is their retreat and backing, and the love and intimacy between family members will never disappear.
02, make a family photo album or handbook with your children
The Atlanta Daily newspaper in the United States once did a study, and found that:
The happiness that "gathering stories and memories" brings at home far outweighs material satisfaction, even more than academic and career success.
Especially family traditions.
The memories it leaves and the happiness it brings to all family members are endless and do not change with changes in life.
In this rare winter vacation, you may wish to look through the photos taken in the past year with your children, collect those beautiful stories and memories, select representative, particularly favorite, and particularly interesting wonderful moments to wash out, and make an annual photo album or handbook to record the good times at that time.
When the child grows up, relives the old time, and sees this photo album or handbook, he will have a different touch in his heart.
03. Plan a parent-child trip to broaden your horizons
When the child is older, you want to take him on a trip, but he would rather go with his friends than go with you.
When your children are on winter vacation, you may wish to take a parent-child trip with the whole family to completely relax your body and mind.
You can go to relatives in other places to visit the New Year, and then go to play, understand local customs, environmental characteristics, and deal with different people;
You can also choose to travel to scenic spots and monuments to increase your knowledge and broaden your horizons, so that your children can see the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas and feel the magnificent scenery of China.
Most importantly, when making a travel plan, let the child also participate, make suggestions and arrangements together, and fully mobilize the child's interest and initiative.
04, let's go to the theater to see a wonderful movie
Famous director Ang Lee said:
"A good movie is enough to change a child's view of the world."
Whether it's to let children receive diversified artistic influences or to relax children, watching movies is a very popular form of education.
Parents and children can go to the theater together and feel the courage of nature, life and growth through the film.
Children over 3 years old can take him to watch "Ait Bear and Xena Mouse", and its warm and healing plot has won countless international awards and the love of big and small children around the world.
It enlightens all adults that raising children is the process of spreading love, and it also enlightens children to learn to see the world with their own eyes.
Children over 4 years old can take him to watch "Nezha Noisy Sea", which is known as the "Double Bi" in Chinese animation, and is a masterpiece that every Chinese child cannot miss in childhood.
Children over 5 years old can take him to watch "Miracle Boy", which is a textbook of family intimacy, telling the story of a boy with a deformed face who encountered criticism and rejection after going to school, but grew up step by step with the support of his parents, and finally accepted himself, integrated into the campus, and became the proud story of everyone.
It makes us believe that the dark clouds gradually dissipate and there are miracles, the world is not perfect, and you will be more beautiful.
05. Do not reduce the time of parent-child co-reading due to socializing
Winter vacation is a good time for children to explore the world, enrich their hearts, and precipitate themselves, and do not reduce the time for parent-child reading because of the busy Spring Festival socializing.
Through co-reading, parents and children learn together and grow together; through co-reading, create opportunities for parents to communicate with their children, share the touch and joy of reading; through co-reading, you can bring children joy, wisdom, hope, courage, enthusiasm and confidence.
Slowly, children will regard reading as a pleasure, a habit.
