Happy to grow
The key factor influencing a child's development is the family. Parents should have more emotional exchanges with their children to build a warm family atmosphere.

This can not only exercise children's observation and expression skills, but also find shining points in ordinary life and cultivate their positive mentality towards the sun.
Family fun

●How to play:
1. Card Game:
Parents draw cards of "time, place, people, events" in the family, the child chooses at will, concatenates sentences according to the content of the cards, and says a simple word (cards can also be replaced by dice, throwing dice to play games).
2. I draw you guess:
1) Each person in the family records several events of the day on paper, with the picture facing down. Flip open one of them at random, interpret it together, and guess the contents of the record.
2) Encourage children to boldly express the content on the record paper, and it is better to express something close to the original intention.
3) Collect the record paper, clip it with a clip, design a cover after a few days, and make your own Family Diary book.
3. Diary of the Nine Houses:
It is recommended for kindergarten children to play. Encourage your child to observe the people and things in their lives carefully. Parents and children reminisce about family life together, discuss the different feelings brought about by various small things, and record them in the form of stick figures, until they are full of 9.
★ Suggestions
1. Ask your child to carefully observe life, pay attention to the people and things around them, and actively communicate and interact. Looking at the picture to tell the story requires careful observation, analytical reasoning, clear and complete and fluent expression.

Encourage children in the kindergarten to say more and be clear. Kindergarten children think faster than language, remind them to think well and then say, pay attention to the integrity of expression. Kindergarten children are rich in words and encouraged to use the phrase "because... So...", etc.
3. Older children can also invite their peers for "cloud sharing". Close the distance between peers and do a good job of emotional communication.
