Don't let your kids drag their feet (拖拖拉拉) over doing chores. Help them to make the boring chores enjoyable.
▲ A simple and great way to make cleaning great fun is to do some of it together. Play some beautiful music while you are doing chores. Then you won't feel bored.
Get lucky. If your kids like surprises, write chores on ice-cream and have each kid pick one. Tell them they can change their picks if each of them agrees. In this way, they will have a feeling that they're making a choice (选择).
Make it playtime. Turn "kitchen time" into a party. Let one child be a cook and another be a DJ. The cook chooses what he or she would like to help make for dinner. The DJ chooses the music he or she would like to play. Everyone can dance around the kitchen while preparing dinner or cleaning up the kitchen later.
Find more difficult chores. One of my friends was trying to get her kids to help out around the house, and someone advised her to give the kids some things like candies or toys as rewards. The plan worked like magic. However, rewards usually don't work for long because kids will be bored with doing the same chores all the time. At this time, give them some difficult chores. If they're already used to helping clean the cage of the pet, make it harder by having them clean it all by themselves. Then, ask them to clean it faster.

Home/Opinion/We Share Topic:How Can We Use a Modern Public Library? Editor's (编辑的) note:Has it been a long time since your last visit to a public library?If so,you may be surprised to learn that libraries have changed for the better. Here are some ideas from the readers. | |
Ben | Topic:Check out a book There are lots of books in libraries,but you'll find it easier to borrow whatever you're looking for with a network of area libraries. By such networks,libraries share their books in a convenient way. Once the book you need arrives |
Anna | Topic:Check out other things The library is now a multimedia zone(多媒体区域) with different forms of information like﹣ movies on DVDs,music on CDs and popular magazines. Children can also find toys and games there. If a popular magazine you want isn't offered and the library keeps a list of such requests |
Tom | Topic:Join reading groups Libraries will often hold reading﹣group meetings for people of different aged groups. Perhaps you'd like to make more friends,and the library may have a book﹣sharing group you could join. Also,you might find it relaxing to sit quietly in a comer with a good book while you bring your little kid to a half﹣hour Story Time. |
Juice tastes good. But is it wise and healthy to drink juice? We asked three experts for their ideas.
Bec Reynolds, a nutritionist(营养学家) Drinking water is the best choice. However, if you don't like it and cannot drink milk, then it's better to drink juice than to have drinks that are "worse," like soft drinks. Both juice and soft drinks are sugary, but juice often have some vitamins, so you'd better not drink them. It would be better to drink juice that is made from many different vegetables. Few children eat enough vegetables. But vegetables are very important for the growth of your body. |
David Manton, a ____ There are two main reasons for not drinking juice. First, the sugar in it feeds the bacteria(细菌)on your teeth. In Australia, nearly half of all six-year-olds have at least one hole in their teeth. Drinks like fruit juice are part of the reason for this. Second, the acid(酸) in many different fruit juices can destroy the hard outer coating of your teeth. Once it's gone, it can't grow back. |
Sandro Demaio, a doctor Fruits like oranges and apples have fiber(纤维素). Fiber is very important. First, it slows down our eating. Second, it makes us feel full for longer. And third, it helps prevent the sugars going into our blood. Then we have fewer chances of getting weight, which can lead to many health problems. When we tum apples into apple juice, we remove most of the fiber. Sometimes, even the vitamins are lost. What we don't lose, though, is the sugar. So try not to drink juice. |
