Your 2-year-old now / 你两岁多孩子的现状

A wonderful way to enhance your child's language development is with rhymes. Alliteration, word play, and rhyme tune your child's understanding of subtle differences between words and build vocabulary. They help boost auditory memory, an important pre-reading skill, and develop rhythm, too. The word pictures drawn in familiar rhymes become both fascinating and familiar. Not least, reading and singing rhymes lets your child know that words can be funny and fun!

学习押韵的东西是促进孩子发展语言能力的好方法。头韵游戏、单词游戏、押韵游戏，这些可以让孩子理解单词之间的细微差别和积累词汇量。它们有助于提高听觉记忆力（在孩子开始阅读之前，这是一项重要技能），也有助于培养孩子对押韵的感觉。用熟悉的韵脚画出来的看图识字读物既迷人又亲切。最重要的是，朗读和唱歌的韵律让孩子认识到，原来，词汇是可以有趣又好玩的!

There's good reason Dr. Seuss books are universal favorites. The vocabularies are simple but the rhymes are pitch-perfect. In addition to rhyming storybooks, look for books of classic nursery rhymes or books of children's poems. There's a wide variety: counting rhymes, rhymes with finger play, and those with silly tongue twisters. It's also great to sing familiar rhymes, which offers many of the same benefits. (Your pitch doesn't matter in the least.)

苏斯博士（Dr. Seuss）的书之所以受到广泛的喜爱，是有原因的。书中的词汇很简单但是做到了完美押韵。除了押韵的故事书，经典的童谣或儿童诗也值得推荐。有很多这种东西：数数押韵、手指游戏押韵，以及那些傻乎乎的绕口令。唱众所周知的韵律诗也很好，它们也有一样的好处。(押韵的内容才是最重要的，你给孩子读它们的腔调或口音，一点儿都不重要。)

Your life now /你现在的生活

Feeling mentally drained by day's end? One way to restore your energy is to reassess your free time. See if there's any "fat" you can cut out of your life. You might find, for example, that now that your child is older you want to spend fewer evenings at committee meetings or in groups you no longer truly have time for. Ask yourself if you have mindless habits that you can ditch because they don't truly refresh you, such as vegging in front of the TV until you fall asleep or compulsive cleaning.

当一天结束时，你有没有感到精疲力竭？恢复精力的一个方法是重估你能自由支配的时间。看看有没有什么多余的“脂肪”（时间累赘）可以从生活中减除。例如，你可能会发现，当孩子长大了，你能花时间参加委员会会议或小组活动的时间就更少了。问问你自己，你是否有一些无意识的，不能真正让你恢复精力的习惯，比如，在电视机前坐到睡着为止的习惯、强迫自己没完没了地打扫卫生的习惯等等，改掉这些习惯吧。
