稍為放寬 不做無電視孩子

電視對幼兒的破壞力不詳細提了, 兩歲前在我們家除了幾隻學習DVD: YOUR BABY CAN READ, BABY LEARNS CHINESE, BABY BABBLE, 都沒有其他電視看的騫騫. (爺爺帶的星期六除外) 我們家沒安裝電視台, 不看任何劇集 電視 電影. 對我們全家來說, 實在是太好的習慣, 不但省回時間和電費, 還保護了重要的靈魂之窗. 不過踏入兩歲後, 媽媽對你開始放寬了一點點, 最近還搜尋幾張DVD 給你.

1. BIBLE STORIES (兩歲後加入)
2. SO SMART COLORS (兩歲後加入)
3. PRESCHOOL PREP SIGHT WORDS VOL 1 (兩歲半加入)

維持每次電視時間不超過三十分鐘, 請爸爸一定要合作啊!

念唐詩

最近諗唐詩的進度突飛猛進, 突然會背上好幾首, 而且常主動要求要聽"離離原上草" 即唐詩那隻CD. 其中最愛的是遊子吟及賦得古原草送別. 心情好時就自己哼起來. 以下幾首是我印象中他會從頭背到尾的唐詩, 可能 "給孩子的唐詩(一)"的二十首都會了? HIN HIN HOORAY! 這張CD 早就經常聽"輸入"他的腦裏, 現在有"輸出"了. 在沒有壓力下建立記憶力的基礎, 也是中國文化的基礎. 七田真所說: 若在幼兒期訓練記憶, 腦中就會產生大容量的記憶系統, 吸收力也會特別好, 以後讀起書來也會特別容易.


(靜夜思) 李白. 床前明月光,疑是地上霜? 舉頭望明月,低頭思故鄉

(詠鵝) 鵝鵝鵝,曲項向天歌。 白毛浮綠水,紅掌撥清波

(相思) 紅豆生南國,春來發幾枝。 願君多采擷,此物最相思

(憫農) 鋤禾日當午,汗滴禾下土。 誰知盤中飧,粒粒皆辛苦

(遊子吟)慈母手中線, 遊子身上衣。 臨行密密縫, 意恐遲遲歸, 誰言寸草心, 報得三春暉

(竹里館) 獨坐幽篁裏, 彈琴復長嘯; 深林人不知, 明月來相照

(獨坐敬亭山) 眾鳥高飛盡,孤雲獨去閑。 相看兩不厭,只有敬亭山

(賦得古原草送別) 離離原上草 , 一歲一枯榮 。 野火燒不盡 , 春風吹又生 。 遠芳侵古道 , 晴翠接荒城 。 又送王孫去 , 萋萋滿別情

Blue Tooth

Starting July 1, drivers in Hawaii can't use any electronic device while driving. In other words, if you want to talk on your cell phone you'll have to have some kind of hands free device. Although my phone came with one, it's clumsy to use. I decided to buy a blue tooth headset. I got one from eBay and it's working very well. Took some time to get use to it and found that wearing it on my right ear is better. Maybe my right ear is a little bigger than my left ear? Adrian doesn't seem to care that I'm wearing an extra equipment on my head.

Adrian's Favorite YouTube Video

Adrian is obsessed with space shuttles. Everyday I come home he'd grab my hand and says: "Dad, let's draw some space shuttles." After drawing a bunch of space shuttles we'd take two ballpoint pens and do a launch. When he sees I'm on my computer he'd come sit on my laps and says: "Dad, let's watch the space shuttle taking off." I'm so glad that we have YouTube now. How am I going to find a clip of a space shuttle launch 5 years ago?
