學好3招，想小朋友聽指示其實唔難！

system
1

「點解你咁唔聽話？」、「你睇吓阿邊個個小朋友幾乖」，有沒有覺得以上說話似曾相識？小朋友「唔聽話」，是很多父母想解決又解決不了的問題。部分父母會選擇責罵，令親子關係變差，部分父母選擇放手不管，但又怕小朋友「愈大愈壞」。

 

想小朋友健康快樂成長，又能夠適當服從指令，其實不難，關鍵就在於父母手中。

 

1.不要轟炸式提出要求

 

將心比己，假如你一回到公司，上司就向你提出十個工作要求，你也會變得心情欠佳。然後你會苦惱應該先做哪件事，又可能會覺得工作太多，壓力大增。小朋友也一樣，同時接收過多指令會讓他們感到無所適從，亦未必有能力分出指令的優先次序，於是索性「當聽唔到」。家長應該等小朋友先完成一件事，再吩咐第二件事，而非一口氣把所有要求說出。

 

2.不要用詢問語氣

 

有些家長喜歡用詢問句下指令，例如「食完飯不如自己打掃番好唔好啊」。對小朋友來說，這個不是一個指令，而是一個疑問，是可以選擇不做的。如果家長是想小朋友飯後自己收拾碗筷，應該直接說「食完飯要自己打掃番」。

 

 

2

3.選一個大家都專心的時間

 

甚麼時候提出指令亦是一個重要的學問，有時小朋友在看電視或打手機時，你提出的指令他可能根本沒有聽到，只是反射式的「哦」、「好」，結果當然就是忘得一乾二淨。家長可以等小朋友看完電視，或直接要求小朋友給予自己一分鐘時間，確保小朋友有聽清楚自己的要求。此外，家長在提出要求時，亦應放下手上的其他事項，給小朋友樹立與人對話要專心的榜樣。

書寫能力小訓練

system
1

撰文：嬰幼兒心理發展協會心理諮詢師程衛強先生

 

「他的字永遠都寫不到在線上，全部會『飛』的！」

「他的字都不能寫在格裡，通常一個字『霸』兩個格！」

「他寫字時經常跳行或跳格！」

「他寫字時好像不夠力似的，字跡淺得幾乎看不到了！」

 

這是都是很多孩子在K2學習寫字時的寫照。孩子在書寫時，需要很多能力的配合，最簡單的，是小手指肌肉的力量及靈活性（精細動作）。如果精細動作訓練不足，孩子可能會出現寫字或執筆無力等情況。家長可如何處理和訓練呢？很簡單，就是從小便讓他們多玩泥膠、黏土和麵粉等玩意。

 

2

其次，視覺空間及眼球的控制，對抄寫也有一定的重要性。一般的球類活動是極佳的訓練項目，透過視覺追蹤並作出擊（或踢）球的動作，也是一個很天然和有趣的訓練。除此之外，找不同遊戲（找出兩幅圖畫的不同之處）、迷宮遊戲（先用眼找出路，然後才用筆連線）等，也對眼球的控制能力有所脾益。

 

在抄寫練習中，手眼協調當然也不可忽視！拋接豆袋、釣魚遊戲、倒水練習和剪紙等，對手眼協調幫助也很大。

 

些遊戲應該在甚麼時候開始進行？每天需要「操練」多久？其實，當這些遊戲在孩子懂得和能夠玩的時候，家長便可以與他們玩了。而且，家長應以孩子的意願為基礎，當孩子不想玩時，家長便應該轉換遊戲，而並不是硬性要求進行多久。筆者的理念是，透過日常的遊戲，孩子便可以獲得一定的技巧，避免問題出現，而不是進行補救式的操練。否則，多好的遊戲也會變得乏味無趣，是受苦多於享受吧！

Writing Skills Mini Training

system
1

Article by Mr. Cheng Wai-keung, Psychological Counselor at the Infant and Toddler Psychological Development Association.

 

During the writing training session, Mr. Cheng Wai-keung, a psychological counselor from the Infant and Toddler Psychological Development Association, mentioned the common struggles children face when learning to write in K2.

 

“He can never write within the lines, everything ends up ‘flying’!”

“His letters always go beyond the boxes; usually, one letter ‘bullies’ two boxes!”

“He often skips lines or boxes while writing.”

“It seems like he lacks strength when writing, the writing is so light that it’s almost invisible!”

 

These are typical scenarios many children encounter when learning to write in K2. Writing requires a combination of various skills, with the most basic being the strength and flexibility of the small finger muscles (fine motor skills). Insufficient training in fine motor skills can lead to issues like weak or shaky handwriting. So, how can parents handle and train their children in this aspect? It’s simple—start by letting them play with clay, playdough, flour, and other similar materials from a young age.

 

2

Furthermore, visual spatial awareness and eye control are also crucial for handwriting. Engaging in general ball activities is excellent for training these skills. Tracking the ball visually and making contact (or kicking) the ball is a natural and fun way to practice. Additionally, activities like spot the difference games (finding variances in two pictures) and maze games (first visually finding the way out, then connecting the lines with a pen) can also enhance eye control abilities.

 

Hand-eye coordination is vital during handwriting practice and should not be overlooked! Activities like bean bag tossing, fishing games, pouring water exercises, and paper cutting can greatly improve hand-eye coordination.

 

When should these games be introduced, and how long should they be practiced daily? Ideally, parents can start playing these games with their children when they understand and are capable of playing. It’s crucial to base the duration of play on the child’s willingness. If a child loses interest, parents should switch activities rather than enforcing a specific time frame. The author believes that through daily play, children can naturally acquire skills, preventing issues from arising, rather than resorting to remedial exercises. Otherwise, even the most enjoyable games can become tedious and burdensome, leading to more suffering than enjoyment.

讓親子旅行成為孩子最好的理財教育課

system

Flora Chen

– 家加豬財商教育共同創辦人

– 認可兒童財商導師

 

「旅行的意義」對於每個人的感受都不同，美好的旅行可以讓人逃離煩囂，給予身心的舒壓和思考空間。

 

剛升高小的女兒眼見身邊不少同學趁着學校假期都舉家旅行，身為「哈利波特」忠實粉絲的她自然也興致勃勃提出聖誕節假期一家到日本大阪旅行，因她十分想去有「哈利波特」的主題公園。

 

相信很多家長都有豐富經驗擔當了計劃行程和消費預算的主腦人，孩子們自然理所當然成為整個旅程的「團友」享受著「爸媽導遊」一早安排的一切。

 

人生是一個選擇的過程，理財亦然。作為媽媽，當然抓緊機會跟女兒傾談讓她明白旅行屬於「想要」而非「需要」及學懂感恩的好時機。父母因為愛孩子及想讓她擁有更多豐富的生活體驗，這也是因為愛而願意付出表現，而並非父母「應該付出」。

 

2

但如何將「理財教育」和「旅行」結合？在傾談間啟發了女兒主動提出了協助以下家庭旅行需要規劃的事情，更將家庭旅行當成了她第一次的「Big Project」：

 

☘️旅程花費預算

☘️旅行目的地

☘️外幣兌換率

☘️搜尋和對比機票價格

☘️酒店價格和對比

☘️主題樂園票價折扣

☘️交通接駁

 

在過程中女兒發現在旅遊黃金檔期出發，機票價格比平常高出了40%！主題樂園快證和普通門票價格亦相差很遠，她在學校剛學懂了「百分數」在這旅行規劃中大派用場。我亦利用機會和她討論日圓匯率及各國貨幣增值貶值的概念。

 

感恩的是她領悟到「延遲消費及延遲享樂」的好處，提出不急於聖誕節旅行，等票價會落一點可以節省一些金錢。升上了高小的女兒今年亦開始幫忙每月記帳家庭日常支出總結表。作為家庭的一份子，她主動提出用儲蓄加上利息滾存起來的一小部份零用錢負責買主題樂園的門票。相信這是很多父母樂於看見孩子於成長過程中實踐了理財教育的真意義。期待女兒分享她第一次完整的「Big Project – 陳氏家庭旅行計劃書和預算表」。

 

家庭旅行對父母和孩子同樣都是愉悅同期待的。孩子在父母引導下參與整體行程規劃，將理財概念成為生活的一部份，將會有意想不到的收穫。

Letting family travel become the best financial education lesson for children

system

Flora Chen

 

Co-founder of Family Wealth Education with Pigs

Certified Children’s Wealth Mentor

The meaning of “travel” varies for each individual. A wonderful trip can provide an escape from the hustle and bustle, offering relaxation for the mind and space for contemplation.

 

Recently, my newly promoted elementary school daughter noticed many of her classmates embarking on family trips during the school holidays. Being a devoted fan of “Harry Potter,” she enthusiastically suggested a family trip to Osaka, Japan during the Christmas break, as she was eager to visit the “Harry Potter” themed park there.

 

Many parents have the rich experience of being the mastermind behind planning the itinerary and budget. Naturally, the children become the “travel companions,” enjoying everything arranged by the “mom and dad tour guides.”

 

Life is a series of choices, and so is financial management. As a mother, I seized the opportunity to have a conversation with my daughter, helping her understand that travel is a “want” rather than a “need,” and a great opportunity to learn gratitude. Parents show their love by wanting their children to have enriching life experiences, willingly investing out of love rather than obligation.

But how do we combine “financial education” with “travel”? During our conversation, my daughter took the initiative to assist in planning the essential aspects of our family trip, treating it as her first “Big Project”:

 

☘️ Travel budget

☘️ Destination

☘️ Foreign exchange rates

☘️ Searching and comparing flight prices

☘️ Hotel prices and comparisons

☘️ Theme park ticket discounts

 

☘️ Transportation arrangements

 
2

During the process, my daughter discovered that departing during peak travel seasons meant flight prices were 40% higher than usual! The difference in prices between fast passes and regular tickets at the theme park was significant, and her recent learning of percentages in school was put to good use in this travel planning. I also took the opportunity to discuss with her the concept of Japanese yen exchange rates and currency appreciation and depreciation.

 

Gratefully, she realized the benefits of “delayed consumption and delayed enjoyment,” suggesting we don’t rush the Christmas trip, as waiting might lead to lower ticket prices and savings. This year, my daughter, now in elementary school, has also started helping with monthly accounting for our family’s daily expenses. As a member of the family, she volunteered to set aside a portion of her savings with interest to purchase tickets to the theme park. I believe many parents are delighted to see their children embody the true essence of financial education as they grow. I look forward to my daughter sharing her first complete “Big Project – Chen Family Travel Plan and Budget.”

 

Family trips bring joy and anticipation to both parents and children alike. When children participate in the overall itinerary planning guided by their parents, incorporating financial concepts into their lives, unexpected rewards await.

Healthy Back Care Exercises – Suitable for Both Adults and Children

system
1

Written by: Fong Wai Kwan, Dr. Kong’s Professional Team of Registered Physiotherapist

 

Parents should avoid letting their children develop the following bad postures, which can affect the development of the spine:

 

When children are doing their homework, they should avoid sitting sideways to one side, as this posture can easily lead to uneven use of force on the left and right sides of the spine, causing problems such as scoliosis. At the same time, they should maintain an upright posture in both the neck and waist.

 

2

When children use computers, they should not lean their necks too far forward to look at the screen, as this can easily lead to neck strain. Parents should also remind children to keep their necks and backs straight, and choose chairs that are adjustable in height and equipped with backrests and armrests to support the back, hands, and wrists. Additionally, the screen should be positioned at a height not above eye level. After every 30 minutes of computer use, there should be adequate rest breaks taken.

 

When lifting heavy objects from the floor, it is best to avoid bending the waist forward to pick them up. Instead, one should adopt a semi-squatting posture, keeping the waist straight. Then, grip the heavy object with both hands, keeping it as close to the body as possible. Finally, use the leg muscles to stand up, maintaining a straight waist.
