Chinese New Year

Going back to LuKong one day beofor the new year eve & also my last working day at the job.
The weather is fine and i feel more confortable in staying there since hazel is a toddler abling going out looking around. (not like presion at the house)

Playing with her cousin

Swing Ponny

Gradma's colleague gave hazel a swing ponny which used to be her daughers'.

Also, giving a ride for her animal frineds.

Wearing Hat

Hazel has been the age that not like to wear hat or anything on hair (hair pin).
However, it is fun to picuture her wearing different hats at department store.

Baby's Imagination

Hazel is sitting on the animal blocks. Who knows~ How she get the idea?

幻想力一定和影像有關，但這些影像從哪兒來呢？首先是來自外在世界。蒙特梭利認為幻想力必須具有感官基礎，感官教育讓我們能正確地察覺事物性質的不同，幫助我們從外在世界收集資料，提供幻想的空間。所以我們協助孩子發展幻想力的最佳途徑，就是帶領他去經歷真實的世界，讓他藉由自發性的觀察，多用眼、耳、鼻、口和手去接觸環境，以累積正確的影像。
單有想像力是不夠的，能夠把想像力化成創造力，才是我們的最終目標，也是人類進步的動力。試想，一千年前的人，能想像出現今人類坐飛機飛行的樣子嗎？經過歷代科學家的努力，人類飛行終於成了事實，世界文明科技的進步，主要就是靠人類的想像力與創造力。因此，我們應該要多帶孩子經歷真實世界，培養他的想像力，提供他想像的空間，讓他自由地創作，不要給他太多的建議，更不要壓抑。切記：「有想像力的創造」才是我們的目標。
父母親應該怎樣幫助孩子，開展創造性潛能：
1.允許自由遊戲的時間，不要經常打擾孩子，應該多觀察，少介入。
2. 允許孩子創造自己的玩法。
3.接納孩子的好奇心及探索慾。
4.包容孩子的行為，對孩子的特異舉動延遲判斷。
5.允許孩子面對新的事物。
6.允許孩子自己解決問題。
7. 提供孩子可自由操作的真實用品與工具，不要提供商業化的成品玩具。
8.只允許孩子一天看三十分鐘篩選過的電視節目。（我個人覺得孩子若整天在家，一天只看三十分鐘電視可能太少了。可考慮開放早、午、晚各三十分鐘，由孩子自己決定要不要看。但各家情況不同，有些家庭連三十分鐘都沒有，因為根本就沒有電視。）
9.充分提供孩子與大自然接觸的機會。

Pile Up the Blocks : Advanced Level

Surprisingly, I saw hazel playing the blocks and really pile up nicely. I didn't take those blocks for her and neither play with her. She just play by herself, and I only demo her 1-2 times. Baby's development is really amazing.

一、嬰幼兒期（零至六歲）
　　這個階段的嬰幼兒，有一種特殊的心智，蒙特梭利稱之為「吸收性心智」（absorbent mind）。孩子就像海綿一樣，吸收外界給它的訊息。這個時期的學習非常快速、吸收能力非常的強。蒙特梭利甚至指出，這才是人一生中最重要的階段。因為人的智力、人格、以及心智潛能，都是在這個階段發展出來的。近代的研究報告，已經證實了蒙特梭利的理論。芝加哥大學的布魯博士(Dr. Benjamin S. Bloom)在《人類特質的穩定和改變》書中寫到：「從受孕到四歲，個人發展了其智能的百分之五十；從四歲到八歲，則發展另外的百分之三十。…這說明智能的成長，在幼年早期的發展非常迅速，而且早期環境對這方面的發展，也可能有很大的影響。」
幼兒早期的吸收性心智可以用照相機來比喻，孩子的頭腦像照相機一樣，按快門就照下整個環境畫面，吸收所有細節，照十個人和照一個人，並沒有造成心智上的不同負擔。照片要經過沖洗、顯影的過程，而兒童吸收進去的東西，或沉潛很久或很快地，會在往後的生命經驗中展現出來。
其中，蒙特梭利又把零到三歲稱為「無意識階段」，嬰幼兒並不會意識到自己在學習，但卻有天然的強烈學習慾望，把環境融入他的生命裡。至於三到六歲則稱為「有意識階段」，他知道自己在學習，且很會發問，常會問「為什麼？」
　嬰幼兒時期一個重要的課題是身體的獨立：孩子要學會運用他的身體運動器官，去走路、跑跳、說話等等。
****成人告訴小孩的話，就像在大理石上面刻字一樣，深植於兒童的心中。大人的言語行動，在孩子的眼裡就是示範，告訴他，人的行為舉止當如何。小孩子是如此殷切的想學習，如此熱切的愛慕大人，大人實在應該審慎的衡量自己在他們面前所說的話。

No wonder there are playgrounds at the school and the park, toddlers and kids like to play to exhause their "energy".

Addict to MAC

When hazel back to the house, she would walk toward MAC and hit the chair saying Po-Po 抱抱. She like us put her on the chair to play the keyboard of the MAC. Since we are not like to do so, we would close the door of the room. However, hazel would even hit the door like to going inside. In this case, we would try to talk to her saying "waiting till uncle coming to play with you!!!" as a execuse not play the MAC with her.
Last Sunday, the grandpa even shout to her "No Computer!!!" and made her crying out loud at the spot.
I think hazel just like the people playing with her. Otherwise, the grandma has got her so many toys, she still prefer to pay somthing else.

Thanks Grandma~

Ba~Ba~

Since fred question why hazel not call "Ba. Ba" for a while (like calling "ma. Ma"), he told hazel to call ba-ba instead of ma-ma. His dream comes true. Now, hazel like to call Ba.Ba. almost everytime and anyone. There is a new meaning of "Ba.Ba" which we don't get it.
Yesterday, hazel is able to say some "Full Sentences" which is supposed be done when she is 2 or 3 years old. Such as...she is saying "拔拔~ 我要睡覺了!" at the time we are desperated putting her to sleep.
Anyway, she not meant for what she said. Finally, she slept after two hours ...no kidding.
This mornning, she also says somthing like ""拔拔~ 我要xxxxxx!" Weird developing.
