如何讓孩子學會感恩？ 11月 29, 2021LearningTimeID Admin 研究指出，當你愈懂得感恩，你愈懂得快樂，生活也會變得更正面。普遍孩子自5歲起便會開始掌握這個概念，這是為甚麼我們要從小向他們灌輸懂得感恩的價值觀。 那麼，如何教導1歲孩子理解這概念？ 光是用嘴巴跟孩子說，你要學懂感恩或要他們向別人說道謝是不足夠的。因為對於1歲孩子的最佳學習方式，就是透過觀察與模仿。 1. 認識你生命中感恩的事情 首先，你自己要清楚其實世上很多事情值得你感恩，然後你可以和孩子分享，哪些是有甚麼事情呢？ 2. 分享事物帶來給你的感受 例如，如果你收到朋友的禮物，除了可以說感恩，也可以分享禮物帶給你的感受。例如：感到驚喜、開心、感動等等。 3. 表現感恩 表現感恩的方法有很多種，說多謝是其中之一，你亦可以送上禮物或別人提供協助。這些行為對孩子學習表現感恩有著很重要的影響。 4. 變成習慣 你可以將感恩的概念融入孩子的日常生活，例如讓他們分享每天覺得感恩的事情，你亦可以向他們分享你覺得感恩的事情。記住，你愈懂得感恩，同時也會為你的孩子帶來正面影響，讓家庭增添快樂。

孩子不懂說話？4個訓練16-18個月言語能力的方法 7月 13, 2021LearningTimeID Admin 當長達至16-18個月大，有些孩子已經能夠說到10個或以上的生字。可是，你的孩子若然未能說出任何生字，或者已經算是「遲語者」。以下是言語學家給我們的建議，有助家長鼓勵孩子的言語能力。 所需物件：以下將會使用 Learning Time 16-18個月的教材做例子，或孩子喜歡使用的開放式玩具亦可。 1. 角色扮演 角色扮演是孩子學習表達自己的好方法。使用我們的鯨魚布偶，問孩子：「鯨魚它肚餓了，應該給牠甚麼食物呢？」並且大聲讀出答案。 2. 集中於輔音 有些遲語者未必能發出輔音，例如英語中的 p、b、m、n、y、k、g 等，你可嘗試加強這些字的發音，看看孩子會否模仿你。 3. 給予簡單指令 試用我們的海洋探索盒子給予簡單指令。舉例，問孩子能否指出八爪魚，如果他能夠正確指出，證明他有良好的語言學習能力。如果指令太簡單的話，可以增加難度，同時間給他兩個指令（two-step instructions）：「你能指出八爪魚嗎？然後再指出牠的觸鬚？」 4. 模仿言語 參與孩子的遊戲，並使用正常成人的言語和他們溝通。舉例，當孩子正在玩小木船天秤，你可以假裝他們已經理解小木船的玩法，問孩子哪邊較重或有較多的串串珠。
