孩子们学校快放假了，他们校长每周都要在校报上给家长写一封信。这次谈的是在假期里如何更快乐。
她让父母们去回忆自己童年的快乐，她谈她小时候骑自行车玩，看星星，等着鸡下蛋，甚至有一只小山羊做宠物。
为孩子们的假期，她给父母提了很多建议：户外野餐，看日落，划船，邀请朋友上家里来玩，种蔬菜，画周围环境的地图，到图书馆借书，一起做风筝，一起做饼干或沙拉等等，她说最重要的是，一定要多和你的孩子说话，说话，说话！（Most importantly…..TALK, TALK, TALK with your children. ）
Dear Parents,
Now that the holidays are approaching, it’s time to think about keeping the children entertained. There are many activities you can do with your children which are inexpensive and good fun. You don’t need to entertain them every moment of every day, but if you plan a couple of special family activities with them, it helps to break the monotony as well as building relationships with them.
Do you ever reflect on the experience of nature you had as a child? I often remember the activities that I did after school and on weekends. I spent a lot of my time on my bike riding around to friends and often we had street games of cricket. Games tended to centre on sport so if it was Olympic Games we would have lots of play around the Olympic events. Being footy fever time in Melbourne I would have expected to see lots of footy activities with parents having kick to kick in the park or backyard.
Experiences outdoors involved camping, walking for miles on beaches, fishing, watching sunsets and looking at stars, growing vegetables, having our own chickens for fresh eggs and I even had a pet goat that followed me around like a dog. Have you taken the kids fishing lately or tried rollerblading or bike riding with them? What about yabbying or a picnic by the river, lake or beach? Had a barbecue in the bush recently?
Take a picnic lunch to the local gardens and relax under the shady trees. Throw in the frisbee for some fun and games with them. Have you been out on a boat with them? Try canoeing or kayaking or a cruise on a paddle steamer. Or just lie on the banks of a river and watch the boats float by.
Children today are more likely to play in their room, sit on the computer with computer games or watch television and videos all day. You can do some very simple activities with them on those rainy days when you are stuck inside. Consider these ideas: write or email a friend to come over and play; write a shopping list together; draw a map of the neighbourhood, your house or the way to Grandma’s; plant some seedlings; look at photo albums and tell stories about when you were a child; design, make and fly a kite; estimate, compare and count collections of things; visit the local library and borrow a book, or buy a new one to share; teach them to play hopscotch or a board game; ride a bike, throw a ball, kick the footy; cook some biscuits together or make a yummy fruit salad. Most importantly…..TALK, TALK, TALK with your children.

“等着鸡下蛋”
好有感觉的一句话啊。我后悔上周shopping centre的动物农场我没买下那几只生蛋小母鸡了。我怎么没早看到这个贴啊。
