Clouds
On a beautiful spring afternoon
I relax—and lie down
On the soft greengrass
Breathing in the fresh smell that I can feel all around
My attention is taken up to the clouds.
For up there in the bright blue sky
Is a fluffy white world of cotton on candy animals
And castles built with marshmallow bricks.
But I must be creative and take the time
To bring this world into focus
So I take a breath
And squint my eyes just a little bit.
And before I know it—there they are—A big bear
Soft as a pillow, quietly curls up to sleep
As a tiny, cotton ball mouse
Jumps out from a lion's house
What a treat to spend my afternoon
With these newly found friends moving by!
Hobbies are ways of self-discovery, and hobbies help build self-respect. Hobbies are educational tools as well. By working on hobbies, children learn to set goals, make decisions, and solve all sorts of problems. If all these sound good, you may would like to help your child develop a hobby, and try these suggestions. |
Set a good example. Scott Harris, a hobby shop buyer and hobby workshop leader in Gastonia, North Carolina, finds that children with hobbies tend (倾向于) to have parents with hobbies. |
Be prepared to sacrifice (牺牲) space. Your child will need work space for his or her hobby projects. Choose a special room, a corner of the basement (地下室), part of the garage, or a similar area. No matter where you set up the space, your child should be able to walk away from the hobby and come back to it later. |
Provide some guidance. Nothing will kill a child's love for a hobby quicker than lots of frustration (挫折) during the learning stage. Help your child get off to a good start by showing him or her clearly how to closely follow a set of directions. |
Limit television watching. It's impossible to work on a hobby and watch TV (or play video games) at the same time. For want of spare time, a hobby may never be developed. But find a hobby, a talent may be born, and life may be enriched (充实) by it, too. |
