I packed,and was ready to leave for my two﹣day trip.I had been busy with my work.I had
made(73)p for the trip for the last few days,and I expected to get(74)r for several days.
As I got into the car to leave,my mind flew to my kids.
How to keep in touch with your kids when you're busy or far away is a dilemma(两难的问
题) many fathers have.Men like to focus special attention on one thing for a long (75)p ,but this can lead to trouble.Moving from work to family isn't always an easy thing.And if you don't (76)s your kids that you're thinking about them,they may think that you don't care.
As I started down the road,I suddenly stopped to(77)t back to my house and
wrote a short message on a(78)c of cards to each of my children.I put each in a
"secret"place where I knew they'd find it.
When I called the next night,they both said(79)e ,"Daddy,I got your card.When
did you do that?"
I was moved when I heard these words.What I had never thought was that a small thing had
a big influence on my kids.It proved(证明) that they were in my heart.And distance (距离)couldn't(80)s them from their father.To my satisfaction,they feel"love"of their father.
This(81)v experience encouraged me to continue to do the small things to be a responsible father.
As fathers get much busier and have to work longer hours,they usually pay (82)l
attention to the small things.Don't miss the good chances to let your kids see how important they are.
Take a moment to do a small thing for your kids.It won't (83)s small to them.
Letting kids learn more about science at an early age is easier than you think.It is happening all around us,and you can (41) everyday things to encourage your children's interest.
Most parents believe it is difficult to help their children with science.But you don't need a high scientific (42) to teach your children science.All you need is that you're willing to try,to see the world,and to (43) the time to encourage their natural curiosity(好奇).
You can help by having an active attitude(态度) towards science yourself.Then start
(44) by asking your children questions about the things you see every day.And then listen to their answers without judging(评判) them,which will (45) their confidence(自信),and help you decide just what your children know or do not know.
Different kids have different interest,(46) they need different kinds of science projects.Collecting rocks may interest your young daughter,but your older son may need something more to deal with it.Knowing your children is the best way to(47) enjoyable learning activities.Here are some more pieces of advice:
Choose activities that are the right (48) of difficulty.If you are not sure,pick something easier.
Read the suggested ages on any projects,books,and then make sure that the
activity is (49) for your child.
Let your child choose the project or activity himself.It's easy enough to ask rather than force him.Suggest choosing 2or 3things your child can do.When a child picks something he is(50)
in,he will enjoy it and learn more from it.
