Buy a new bag?
還是抓緊時間玩？
Or seize the time toplay?
不不不，新學期一定要做到下面五件事情啦！
No! No! No! You must dothe following five things before the new semester!
1、檢查寒假作業
Ⅰ Check the winter vacation homework
寒假作業是一項很重要的任務。一方面它是對上學期內容的溫習和鞏固。另一方面，它也是鍛鍊孩子自我時間管理的好機會。
所以家長一定要提醒孩子檢查作業的完成情況，還有哪些未完成，尚有時間予以完成。很多孩子經常將作業拖延至正式開學前一晚，挑燈夜戰，通常在身心俱疲的狀態下，草草應付。
因此，建議家長關注一下孩子的作業，如果沒寫完，要好好催一下了，及時督促完成，保證高質量完成作業。
Winter homework is a very important task.On the one hand, it is the review and consolidation of the last semester. Onthe other hand, it is also a good opportunity to exercise child self-timemanagement.
So parents must remind their children tocheck the completion of homework.There is time to complete the homework they donot finish. Many children often delay their assignments to the night before theschool starts day.
Therefore, parents are advised to pay attentionto the child's homework.
2、調整作息
Ⅱ Adjust work schedule
假期裡偶爾睡個懶覺當然不是什麼大問題，可是如果假期裡養成睡懶覺就必須改正。
Of course it's not a big deal to take anap occasionally during holidays. However, if the development of sleeping inthe holiday must be corrected.
家長們應該督促孩子早睡早起、按時用餐，調節好生物鐘，以適應開學後的「時差」變化。
Parents should urge their children to goto bed early and get up early, eat meals on time, and adjust the biologicalclock to adapt to the "jet lag" changes after school.
3、合理飲食
Ⅲ Reasonable diet
過年在家，各種零食隨手可得，放假期間，父母對此也比較放鬆。吃多了零食，最明顯的問題就是不好好吃正餐了，這樣對孩子的身體發育肯定不好。因此，必須調整飲食。
At Chinese New Year , all kinds of snacksreadily available. During the holidays, parents are also more relaxed. Eat moresnacks, the most obvious problem is not good to eat dinner, so the child'sphysical development is certainly not good. Therefore, we must adjust diet.
可以讓孩子吃一點零食，這也是生活樂趣，但最好能事先商議好一個比較合理的飲食方案，比如每天可以吃一點什麼東西、吃多少，別人給零食時怎麼處理，等等。
Children can eat snacks, this is also thefun of life. But it is best to negotiate in advance a reasonable diet, such aswhat to eat a little something every day, how much to eat, how to deal withsnacks to others, and so on.
4、不沉迷電腦電視
Ⅳ Don’t indulge in computer and television
看電視其實不是什麼太大的問題，只要有更有趣的事情可做，小孩子是不會太過分迷戀電視節目的。說現在的孩子貪戀電視，更多是因為沒有比它更有吸引力的事情了。
Watching television is not really much ofa problem。If thereare more interesting things to do, children are not overly obsessed with TVshows.
此外，如果孩子已經懂得上網，家長可能還會擔心孩子「沉迷於網絡」甚至「染上網癮」。
In addition, parents may also worry abouttheir children being "addicted to the Internet" or even"internet addicted" if they already know the Internet.
看電視太多會影響視力、智力、運動量等。不妨跟孩子講講道理，相比簡單粗暴地「我不許你看電視」而言，這是更尊重他的方式。當然這些話可能孩子聽得都膩了，因此最好的辦法還是和他（她）「談判」，得出一個大家相對來說比較認可的方案，因為是他（她）親自參與制定的，他（她）就會有意願去遵守。
Watching too much television can affectvision, intelligence, physical activity, etc. May wish to tell the truth withthe child, compared to simple and rude "I do not want you to watchTV," this is more respect for his way. Of course, these words may be heardby children tired. Therefore, the best solution is to "negotiate"with him (or her) to come up with a plan that is generally approved by everyonebecause he is personally involved in the formulation. (She) will have the willto comply.
5、不亂發脾氣
Don’t lose your temper.
作息紊亂和「宅」在家中的副作用，就是能曬到太陽的時間少了。光照不足不僅不利於鈣質吸收，還會引起抑鬱症狀。
Theside effect of staying at home is that there is less time to bask in the sun.Lack of sunshine is not only bad for calcium absorption; it can also causedepressive symptoms.
你可別奇怪家裡的孩子怎麼狀態不佳、脾氣臭臭呢！沒準就是抑鬱的表現。
Don'tbe surprised how bad the child is at home. Maybe it's a symptom of depression.
為什麼孩子在幼兒園和學校就會遵守規矩，在家就肆無忌憚。其實是因為，家更讓他有歸屬感和安全感。
Whydoes the child obey the rules in kindergarten or school? That's because homegives him a sense of belonging and security.
這不見得是壞事。但也需要給他建立一定的規則和秩序，這樣他才能更自如地做自己喜歡的事，如果太過放任，反而會使他缺乏安全感，茫然不知所措。
This is not a bad thing.But we need to give him a certain set of rules and order,so that he can more freely do what he likes. Too much freedom would make himinsecure and confused.
家長應該這樣做
Parents should do the following.
1、為孩子提供安靜的環境
Provide a quiet environment for children
² 引導孩子按照正常的學習節奏和作息時間起居。
Guide your children back into the normallearning rhythm and regular bedtime schedule.
² 家裡儘量不組織娛樂活動。
Try to minimize entertainment at home.
² 督促孩子早睡早起、按時用餐，調節好生物鐘，以適應開學後的「時差」變化。
Urge your children togo to bed early, get up early and have dinner on time, and adjust the biologicalclock to adapt to the "time difference" after school.
² 調整飲食，要充分補給富含維生素的飲食。
Adjust your children’s diet to fullyreplenish vitamin.
2、以身作則，身教重於言教
Example is more importantthan precept.
² 要求孩子做到的，家長自己先要做到。
Do what you ask your children to dofirst.
² 要孩子早早睡覺休息，但家長卻上網看電視，孩子不會乖乖聽話。
Go to bed and rest early with your children.
² 要求孩子安靜地學習，家長最好也讀讀書、看看報，可以和孩子一起做幾道習題，或一起讀讀課外書，等等。
Readand study with your children.
3、與孩子進行情感交流
Emotional communication with yourchildren.
² 家長可以選擇孩子感興趣的話題與之交流。
Choose the topics that your children are interested in.
² 早晨起來跟孩子一起打打球、跑跑步，都是行之有效的感情交流方式，還會達到潤物無聲的教育效果。
Playball and jog with your children in the morning.
4、鼓勵孩子制定學習計劃
Encourage your children to makestudy plans.
家長可與孩子共同擬訂新學期計劃，在商量討論中完成從假期到開學的「頻道轉換」，把孩子新學期要準備哪些文具要讀哪些書、以誰為榜樣、需要重點加強哪些方面、家校怎樣配合等內容，逐一納入學習計劃，以幫助孩子樹立信心，消除假期後的不適感。作為家長也不妨制定自己的家庭計劃和學習計劃。
Work with your children to make new studyplans to help them build confidence and eliminate discomfort after a holiday. Asa parent, you may also make your own family planning and learning plan.
