請教iantsang版主揍女經驗

johnwhy

自從上次家長會一見版主盧山真面目之後, 小弟心中產生了一連串的問題, 希望請教版主, 也好向廣大家長群分享你寶貴的經驗 :
1. 小弟兩夫婦都需要為口奔馳, 只有晚間放工後才可以與小女玩耍, 吃晚飯等. 我估計版主也是一個公事繁忙, 日理萬機的人, 請問你如何分配工作與家庭的時間呢?
2. 小女今年是下午幼兒班新生, 雖然不能與被主女兒同班, 但我都想請教你會如何安排她下課後的節目呢? 食晚飯, 做功課, 玩耍等.
3. 除了日常的學校課程, 你有為你的女兒安排什麼課外活動嗎?
如果版主能夠分享一二, 好讓我們能借鏡借鏡, 我深信家長和小朋友都能得益不淺, 也可以互相學習,成長.
謝謝.

This is quite embarrassing!  I am just a regular parent like yourself and everyone else.  So, there are really not much that I can share......

The important person that I must say thank you to is my wife.  She is the one who sacrifice her own job and become full-time housewife, in order to spend the precious time with the children.  Of course, there are a lot of things that the family will have to adjust to but we decided parents' time is one of the most important thing during child development.

Of course, one parent is not enough.  As there are always different aspects of life that we must show to the children so both father and mother's involvement are both crucial.  Frankly, the reason I can do a bit more is mainly because I don't sleep a lot!   So, there are a bit more time that I can used on a daily basis.

Basically when my elder daughter was in NC, she would come home and have quick snacks.  Then she will start to do her homework and then have dinner.  After that they can watch a bit of TV and have fruits then have shower before they go to bed.  However, in LK, sometimes the homework may need more time to finish so she may need to trade the TV time to finish the homework.

We don't have much ECA for our daughters, especially during NC year.  I think she only has one drawing class and a music class.  As she started to have interest in English after the summer holiday so she has a playgroup to attend and also we have one more sports to balance it all.  Basically the idea is to keep her persistent and also learn there is trade-off.  If there are ever new interests, then an existing class need to be stopped.  Not sure if I explain it well enough as I am starving now.  May be add more later!

Just would like to add after re-reading your posts for a few times.  I believe there are one thing I missed to mention in my reply, communication.

Communication should be one of the emphasis during the time spent with the children.  And most importantly, it is a two-way communication.  The children should be able to take the opportunity to learn to express themselves, and the role of the parents are there to help them establish this ability.  On the other hand, we need to set a good example for the kids to learn from us, as they will have an intention to "copy" us.  This is probably the most harsh things for parents but we will need to take this chance to "correct" many of our own bad habits.......

Hope this help.

Ian,
Thanks for your sharing. Your feedback are highly valuable to my and my wife. We are not as fortunate as you and both of us have to work.
Seems there is long way for you and me to go, ha ha. I'll try and may ask for your advice if necessary.
Thank you again and wish your family good health & luck.
John
