四川省成都市石室天府中学2024年中考三模英语试题
What are your parents like? Do they have any strict family rules for you? Do they make you feel stressed? Recently, a mother's unique idea about her kids' playtime has caught people's attention online.
Jessi Meeks says every day, her three kids get an hour where they get to do "whatever" they want. She calls it "whatever-makes-you-happy hour".
Meeks' idea arose naturally from one of her kids' suggestions. "One afternoon, the kids were outside painting and my husband and I were trying to talk and carry on a conversation. My oldest son Cannon looked at me and asked, "Can I paint my hands? And I was like, ‘Whatever makes you happy. You all just do it and be quiet so Mommy and Daddy can talk to each other,'" Meeks recalls. "And from then on, around that same time of the day, they would ask if they could do something and we'd be like, ‘Sure, whatever makes you happy.'"
But Meeks also sets necessary boundaries (界限). "If they start hurting themselves or hurting each other, we step in," she adds,"And we don't let them watch TV."
Meeks believes the hour of free playtime has been beneficial for her kids. If they make a big mess, she thinks it's a good chance to teach little ones the practice of tidying up. At the same time, it's also a great way to allow time for them to explore and play the way they want.
"Even though the kids make a mess at times, it has worked out well for everyone in my family," Meeks says. She views "whatever-makes-you-happy hour" as a daily period to make new memories and build a good family relationship.
