With the recent escalation of epidemic prevention and control measures in Shanghai, we have changed from staying in Shanghai to staying at home, plus taking time out every day to do nucleic acid testing (we have done it 4 times). I have to say that the most irritable thing every day is to listen to the child's 24-hour surround sound effect - Mom, I need you to accompany! I even couldn't move up and hug my thighs, wrap my arms around my neck, kiss my cheeks, interrupt my housework, make phone calls, and write manuscripts.
"Mom, come and build blocks with me!"
"Mom, I want you to tell me stories!"
"Mom, can you hug me?"
"Mom, can you accompany me downstairs to play?"
"Mom, I'm so hungry!"
"Mom, I'm so bored alone!"
"Don't call mom ~ just say, what do you want to do!" During that time, the word "mother" seemed to become a tight curse on my head, and sometimes as soon as I heard the call of the child, my heart began to go crazy.
"No, you can't go on like this all the time." I told myself. The frequent interruption of the rhythm of doing things makes me often anxious because I can't complete the writing plan; I frequently refuse to accompany my children, and I feel guilty for not doing a good job of high-quality parent-child companionship.
Therefore, I discussed with Cute more, "You always call your mother frequently and interrupt your mother, resulting in your mother's recent work efficiency is particularly low, and she can't find time to accompany you." The ending is that your mother is not happy and you are not happy. Mom spends half an hour every morning and afternoon with you, and tells you stories for half an hour before going to bed at night, and you can't disturb Mom at other times. In this way, your mother can do things quickly, and she can accompany you wholeheartedly, instead of always leaving halfway. ”
"Good! Then you have to do what you say. "Cute and moaned for a moment, and then resolutely agreed." When you play with me, you can't do anything else. "Of course, if you can take the time to help your mother share some of the housework, your mother's workload is less, and you can also give you a little more time to spend with you." "Well, I can help you do more housework and save you some effort."
With the transition and adaptation of close to a week, we can basically achieve harmonious coexistence in the agreed time without disturbing each other, and high-quality parent-child companionship in the agreed time.
Next, let's share what we usually do when we're at home:
“

Picture book reading
Because of the cute and loving parent-child reading since childhood, children have developed a good habit of loving books: unhappy, reading books to heal; bored, reading books for recreation; want to know the reasons for certain things, read books to find answers; want to learn a few jokes, apply sentences on books; want to understand some strange stories, read mythological story books...
Therefore, during the stay at home, I added a batch of new books with beauty and material and connotation to Cute for his entertainment. Cute duo especially likes mythological and story books, so I bought him a new set of "Little Fox Courage to Break through the Mountains and Seas Classic". Father Quao's pursuit of the sun, Houyi shooting day, Nuwa patching the sky, Yanhuang War, Jingwei reclamation, Dayu Zhishui, the four seas and eight wildernesses... The traditional story of the Classic of Mountains and Seas has been appropriately adapted to become more simple and understandable. Detailed psychological descriptions, action descriptions, scene descriptions and tidbits are added to help children understand and grasp the theme of the story and the characters more thoroughly.
Take the father chasing the sun as an example:
He looked carefully into the sky with wide eyes, and cried out in shock: "There are still nine suns hiding behind the clouds!" It turned out that they were in relay, no wonder The father could not catch up! ”
When he heard this, he was so angry that he raised his cane, summoned up all his strength, jumped high, and slammed down on the sun in the clouds—bang!
The clouds were scattered, the mischievous suns were frightened, they squeezed me, I pushed you, no one cared about anyone, panicked and fled.
Through the "listening", "lifting", "drumming", "jumping", "knocking" several actions in one go, not only create a strong sense of picture, but also show the fortitude of the father's personality and the agility of the hands. And the suns, through "they squeeze me, I push you, no one cares about anyone" to highlight the panic of the suns when they find out the secret.
Past and present intertwined, myth and reality blend, "Little Fox Brave Mountains and Seas Classic" is like an adventure experienced by children themselves, one will follow the little fox and listen to grandpa fox stories at home, and then through the mountains and seas through the map through time and space, become a part of the mythological story, to help the protagonists find problems and overcome difficulties...
"Hilarious Life on Earth"
Popular science children's books are also cute and favorites, and the new "Hilarious Stories on Earth" is super interesting. Encyclopedia of human body knowledge, animal life habits, earth science, etc. are presented through light and interesting language, humorous and exaggerated cartoons, and detailed and intuitive charts. Children can understand and remember these magical popular science knowledge in a big laugh, which is really happy.
Take, for example, the science of the bladder.
"Actually, I'm a bag made of muscles that looks like an upside-down pear in shape and size. As the urine in my body increases, I will grow bigger and bigger, bigger and bigger. I can store about 400 to 500 ml of urine, but more than 350 ml, I will feel uncomfortable. Luckily, your brain will tell me what to do. ”
The cartoon is presented like this: the left bladder has a painful skimming expression - "I can't hold on"; the brain receives a signal and gives feedback - "pee out"; the right bladder drains urine, with a comfortable and proud expression.
Cute see this popular science content is particularly resonant, "Mom, this bladder urine expression is funny, but the urine comes out, comfortable, it becomes a smiley face." ”
Bought a reading shelf for Cute Duoxin to help the child correct the reading posture
Although it is good to love reading, the protection of children's eyes is more important.
Cute often likes to lie on the ground, on the bed, on the sofa to read picture books, and said many times is still invalid. So I gave him a reading stand with an adjustable tilt to help him correct his reading posture.

jigsaw puzzle
Cute is more focused on puzzles
"Mom, can you play puzzles with me?" I want to play this dinosaur puzzle. ”
At first, when Cute took out the puzzle, he strongly asked me to put down the matter at hand and fight with him, but I resolutely refused because I had to prepare lunch for the family.
"You fight it yourself, and Mom believes you can." And if you do it alone, you will have a special sense of accomplishment. ”
"Well, then you're free, remember to come and see me."
"Okay."
Because there is no mud and water in the communication process, Cute knows that "Mom really doesn't have time" and starts to put together puzzles alone. To be honest, this 280-piece dinosaur puzzle is really quite difficult. I remember the first time I tried the puzzle with Cute Duo, the two of them worked together for two days.
Cute multi-spelled semi-finished product
What I didn't expect was that it took cute more than half a day to put together 4/5 of the dinosaurs.
"Mom, come and see, where did I spell it?"
"Well, Mom saw that you put the dinosaur's belly together, and it was very fast!"
"Mom, you see, I've been fighting more and more, and now there's only a little left."
"Congratulations, you've completed 1/3 of the dinosaur puzzle."
When I use fractions 1/2, 1/3, 1/5, 1/10 to express the remaining amount of the puzzle, I am curious, "Obviously my puzzle is getting less and less, why are you saying that the number is getting bigger and bigger?" ”
"Is the same apple cut into 3 parts, and each person gets more, or is it cut into 10 pieces, and each person gets more?"
"3 servings."
"3 and 10 are denominators, and the larger the denominator, the smaller the value, and that's what it means."
Through the apple cutting method, Cute Duo finally understood the meaning of the score.

programming
Programming is a particularly popular course for primary and secondary school students today, because it is particularly intuitive and interesting. Children can also exercise logical thinking, concentration and observation in play, which can be described as a lot of things.
"A Fork in the Road Adventure of A Gula"
Because our father is a programmer, our family did not send Cute to class, but bought some programming-related picture books and teaching books, first cultivated the child's programming thinking, and then practiced through video courses and online courses.
Although "A Gula's Fork in the Road Adventure" is a humorous adventure style game picture book, it contains a lot of programming concepts: if, else, loop, etc. The choices a gula makes at each intersection determine what kind of adventure he will experience next, which is if; when there are only two routes in front of a gula, do not choose the upper route, only the lower route, which is the else; when a gula chooses a specific route, it will return to the same route, which is a cycle.
After watching "The Fork in the Road Adventure of a Gula", you can take your child to read "Fun Learning Programming: Special Teachers Take You to Play Mind+" with zero basics. This book combines the characteristics of children's physical and mental development, written in the form of interactive games, which is more vivid and interesting to read; and the content inside is explained in detail, even children and parents with zero foundation can easily read the core of computational thinking - algorithms, and learn to build basic data models.
In addition, the knowledge points of this book cover the knowledge points of the graphic programming exam for teenagers, and if children want to take the exam, they can also be used as teaching materials.
Gollum Programming Online Learning
Gollum online programming is also super fun, with both recorded video lessons and homework for kids to practice. As long as the corresponding module "left turn" and "right turn" can be replaced, the animation character can be rotated left and right, and the sound, position, motion speed, number of cycles, etc. of the action object can be changed through the addition or subtraction of the module.
Cute how much fun, "Mom, the cartoon was originally made like this, and I can make my own cartoon in the future!" ”

Plant plants
Before the New Year last year, we planted two pots of strawberries at home, one pot of Zhangji strawberries and one pot of cream strawberries. As the weather gradually warms, the small strawberries slowly grow and turn red, showing a small red face, which looks particularly dazzling against the background of green leaves.
Although it is not as big and sweet as the strawberry bought in the market, it is precious to watch it go from strawberry blossom to green, then white, and finally red. Even if it doesn't taste as good as it tastes, the strawberries you grow yourself are extraordinary!
When the strawberries are ripe, Cute Duo took the initiative to take scissors and carefully cut off the small red strawberries.
"Mom, it's a great harvest!" We picked 4 small strawberries today, which is an unprecedented harvest! "Cute multi-handed strawberries in his hands, happy blossoms."
Planting plants is the process of sowing, waiting, and reaping. If you are really bored, you may wish to accompany your child at home to plant a plant, which can be garlic, onion, onion, spinach, strawberries, succulents and so on. First, you can observe the different states of the budding, growth, maturity and decay of plants, second, you can observe how the plants reproduce, and third, you can also taste whether the plants you grow are delicious or not.
Regardless of the ending, the planting process is very interesting!

Indoor sports
Jump rope every day
Recently, many bloggers have planted a sports software - daily jump rope, which can play fun games such as cutting fruits, eating Pac-Man, snowball fights, and synthesizing large watermelons, or double PK to see who has more athletic potential. You can play on your phone or cast the screen on your computer, which is particularly convenient.
Yesterday, our family played a lot of projects at home: cutting fruits, synthesizing large watermelons, fruit kombat, big fish eating small fish, posture big passes, squat fishing, etc., balancing seesaws and other activities, playing sweaty, both liberating the body and mind, but also exercising.

Parent-child handicraft
01. Gourmet making
Yesterday we steamed pumpkin at home to eat, the remaining uneaten pumpkin paste plus glutinous rice flour, sticky rice flour, inside with bean paste filling, wrapped in a layer of white sesame seeds, put in the pancake pan fried a frying pan is particularly sticky and delicious, ironing the stomach.
Pumpkin pie is not complicated at all, children and adults can participate together, and the finished product will be particularly sweet to eat even if it is crooked.
02. Light clay production
Cute model of mountains and rivers made of light clay
Some time ago, we bought a set of "World of Water" experimental set, which contains both experimental instruments and many water-related science video lessons, including water buoyancy, water form, water filtration, water dissolution, etc., as well as light clay homemade mountains and rivers guidance class.
This is the first time that Cute Do has learned about the earth's mountains, rivers and landforms as a whole. In the cute and multi-made model, the brown light clay represents the mountain, the green represents the forest, the blue represents the river and the sea, and the white represents the glacier. Interested children can do it together!
03. Scientific experiments
In The World of Water, there is an interesting experiment in making crystalline salt paintings. Sprinkle plenty of salt in the water and stir until the salts cannot be dissolved. Such brine is called saturated brine.
Write or draw on black cardboard with saturated brine.
When the water has evaporated, white crystalline salts appear on the black cardboard.
04.Painting
Cute multi-painting
Drawing is also a great way for children to spend time. Whether it is ink painting, oil painting, watercolor painting, pencil drawing, as long as the child likes it, you can try it.
You can doodle by hand, you can imitate the master. Children's beautiful paintings can be kept as part of a record of their growth; they can also be photographed and made into postcards to send to relatives and friends.

Board games
Cute play chess with dad a lot
Chess is also a particularly puzzle time-consuming game item. We often accompany cute people to play more go, chess, checkers, small snake chess, flying chess and other board games, so that children can feel the stimulation and happiness of brain confrontation in the game.
If you want to make a family stay at home for a long time and live in harmony, the best way is to negotiate a plan that adults and children can accept: what time not to interfere with each other, when to accompany parents and children, and then follow the implementation.
