打電動有助於認知發展?! 美國NHI最新研究調查

一直以來,多數相關研究主張孩子打電玩會導致心理層面的問題。但根據美國National Institutes of Health (NHI)的一項最新研究發現,與完全不玩電玩的9-10孩子比較,每天玩三小時以上電動的孩子,認知功能表現更快又更精準。甚至在功能性磁振造影(fMRI)檢測下,腦部運作模式也不一樣。
這項研究還需要更長時間的追蹤,才能確實了解打電玩對孩子或是對人類的幫助會是損害,這項研究的結論,確實與普世"打電玩對孩子身心不好"看法有出入。
我們節錄部分重點內容,並且翻譯成中文。

Geronimo Stilton series

Geronimo Stilton series by Elisabetta Dami, book recommendation by Lighthouse Camps
by Elisabetta Dami

Recommended reading ages: 7-10 years
Lexile measure: 450L-670L
The Geronimo Stilton series are a wildly popular collection of children’s books by Italian author Elisabetta Dami. They follow the life of the mouse Geronimo, a newspaper writer and editor. Dami creates an imaginative humanlike society of mice, a playful lens through which children can learn about the world. For example, Geronimo lives in ‘New Mouse City’, an imaginative version of New York City: readers visit the ‘Mouseum of Modern Art’, newspaper headquarters, the Statue of Liberty and many more cultural and historical landmarks. Geronimo even encounters ‘Hercule Poirat’, a reference to Agatha Christie’s famous detective character Hercule Poirot. The books also follow Geronimo’s travels, introducing readers to the geography and history of Japan, Australia, Italy, India and other countries around the world. In this way Dami combines cultural knowledge and fun to introduce young readers to various bits of history, culture and literature.

為什麼選擇寄宿學校/住宿學校 (boarding schools)?

why boarding schools? 寄宿學校/住宿學校的特色、環境介紹、優點,以及從家長和學生們角度的經驗分享。
很多家庭會選擇寄宿學校/住宿學校,以為孩子升大學做準備。原因不外乎住宿學校提供:小班教學、課程多樣化、重視個人特質、頂尖的師資和顧問,使得住宿學校的學生培養了優秀的學習能力,奠定了未來人生成功基礎。
        然而,就讀寄宿學校/住宿學校不是一個容易的決定。孩子年紀小小必須離開家庭及熟悉的朋友去適應一個新環境;財務上,一路讀到大學畢業也是不小的經濟負擔,這一切是否值得呢?

The Giving Tree

by Shel Silverstein
Recommended reading ages: 4-6 years
Lexile measure: 530L
The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein  Recommended reading ages: 4-6 years Lexile measure: 530L  The Giving Tree is a short children’s picture book by American writer Shel Silverstein. It tells a simple tale of the relationship between a tree and a boy. As the boy grows from childhood to old age, the tree selflessly gives up its apples, branches and trunk in order to make him happy. The themes of love, generosity and selflessness in Silverstein’s book have made it a classic children’s fable, teaching young readers about the joys of giving.  With simple vocabulary, sentence structure and plot, young readers will find it easy to understand and enjoy Silverstein’s tale. The story is also accompanied by drawings on every page that help to convey the story and keep young readers’ interest.  The book also opens up a valuable discussion about generosity versus greediness. While younger children often enjoy the book as a sweet tale of selfless love, older readers can use their critical thinking skills to consider whether they believe the tree is right to give away all it has to the boy, and whether the boy takes the tree’s generosity for granted. Readers can also reflect on the different desires the boy has as he grows older and asks the tree for money, a house, a boat, and other material wants, and discuss which of these they think is most important. In this way The Giving Tree is appropriate both for a wide range of ages and can challenge readers to reflect on right and wrong in relationships with family and friends.
