DIY Felt Board (Fun Learning Materials) ~

School Holiday Art & Craft ' projects:


咳，上个星期去Daiso 败了很多东西回来。Felt 就是其中一样。今天吃过晚饭后女儿和我一起动手做Felt board 。妍惠一向很喜欢做手作。当看见这些我为所准备的材料，她迫不及待地要马上完成它呢！哈

以下只是一部分的‘工作’，孩子们明天一大早要去爱馨绘本乐园参与科学营所以今天的工作就只有这些~

童年时期最重要的是安全感，不是上补习班。跟在父母身边，眼睛看到父母所看到的，耳朵听到父母所说的，这些都是他长大以后在环境中用得到的讯息。他从小已经在做未来的预备了，这些活的知识对他以后ＥＱ和ＩＱ的发展会很有帮助。童年经过很多补习的父母自己可以静下来想一想，当年这些补习是否必要？有多少是望子成龙的虚荣心？有多少是孩子真正需要的知识？其实大部分出社会所需用到的知识是补习补不来的，风度和教养就是最好的例子。  

     学校假期为什么应该还给孩子，还有一个很重要的理由：替孩子聚集人脉资源。童年时一起穿开档裤的朋友是长大后最好的朋友，而人一生中非常需要好朋友的扶持，快乐的童年奠定后来乐观进取的人生观，有这种人生观以后才可能成功。所以不要相信学太多以后新的装不下这种迷思，学习的效果不在存了多少，而在如何应用手边有的知识。  

       美国的电视节目《马盖先》就是个很好的例子，他很会就地取材来因应环境的需求，他学了很多东西但是他的大脑并没有因此而爆满，因为他的新知识都能与旧知识挂上钩，好像前面说的光盘片一样，相关的东西都组合在一起了，随时可以灵活应用，这才是学习的真谛。 学校假期应该是给孩子休息一下、喘口气的时间，希望孩子能利用这个机会读一些自己喜欢的书，开拓自己的视野，提升自己的境界。
