一个脑筋急转弯(田蕊原创)

和豆腐多在一起的时候，我会给他出一些谜语，然后让他找很多的答案，每当小豆腐说出一种答案，我都会鼓励他，我不会直接说什么是对错，而是说各种答案之间的不同，小豆腐也乐在其中，现在已经养成习惯了。

迷语游戏玩多了，有时候我也能编出经典的脑筋急转弯，比如下面这个：

什么东西近看小远看大？你能想出三个答案吗？

好口才的秘诀

好口才的秘诀

前几天和处里的其他主管们出去开一年一度的策划会，地点在妙龄山庄，还不错的地方。
晚上和华华一屋，毫无悬念的我们又说了梦话，据说我还滔滔不绝的：她夜里起来上厕所，听见我在那说；临天亮又起来一次，结果我还在那说呢。去年的策划会我们就互相交流----睡觉前交流，睡着后还继续交流。都说梦话，而且都被对方听到。---咋有点恐怖涅~~~
我跟华华感慨：别人顶多白天练一天，咱俩晚上还接着练，这口才能不好么。
这招还不好学呢。


想起来在我年轻的时候，同宿舍有个文学女青年晚上不睡觉，打着应急灯写诗。转天早上她经常跟我汇报：晚上你又说梦话了，有哭，有笑，有英语汉语文言文，有 唱歌有舞蹈，有演讲还有吵架。。有时候还能欣赏到艺术体操。怪不得我每天都睡不醒，原来天天晚上都义务演出呢。兢兢业业，容易么。



可怜的非洲和南美洲人民

昨天老公满脸愁云感慨地说：幸亏我们没生活在非洲。
我傻乎乎地说：为什么呀？是因为海地人民可怜吗？
老公愣了，然后哭着说：昨天刚告诉你海地是南美洲的！


烙饼赋
今天买了个煎饼（天津叫煎饼果子），回家美滋滋的吃。豆腐多明明已经吃过饭了，正在喝粥，见状还是凑过来闹着要"吃烙饼"。我只好从纸袋里掏出一点分给他。豆腐多把煎饼泡在红豆粥里，拎出来，煎饼变成了黑色。于是乎，小家伙诗兴大发，吟出一首《烙饼赋》。

掏 掏 掏烙饼
掏出一个大烙饼
放进锅 泡一泡
啦啦啦啦全黑掉

----作于小豆腐2岁9个月

豆腐多新作品

豆腐多刚做的儿歌:
掏掏掏烙饼
掏到一个大烙饼
放进锅 泡一泡
啦啦啦啦全黑掉

How to nurture you child's self-esteem?

Nurturing your child's self-esteem may seem like a hefty responsibility. After all, a feeling of self-worth lays the foundation for your child's future as he sets out to try new things on his own. "Self-esteem comes from having a sense of belonging, believing that we're capable, and knowing our contributions are valued and worthwhile," says California family therapist Jane Nelsen, co-author of the Positive Discipline series.

"As any parent knows, self-esteem is a fleeting experience," says Nelsen. "Sometimes we feel good about ourselves and sometimes we don't. What we are really trying to teach our kids are life skills like resiliency." Your goal as a parent is to ensure that your child develops pride and self-respect — in himself and in his cultural roots — as well as faith in his ability to handle life's challenges (for a school-age child that may mean giving a dance performance for you). Here are ten simple strategies to help boost your child's self-esteem:

Give unconditional love. A child's self-esteem flourishes with the kind of no-strings-attached devotion that says, "I love you, no matter who you are or what you do." Your child benefits the most when you accept him for who he is regardless of his strengths, difficulties, temperament, or abilities. So, lavish him with love. Give him plenty of cuddles, kisses, and pats on the shoulder. And don't forget to tell him how much you love him. When you do have to correct your child, make it clear that it's his behavior — not him — that's unacceptable. For instance, instead of saying, "You're a naughty boy! Why can't you be good?" say, "Please don't throw the football in the house. A football is an outside toy."

Pay attention. Carve out time to give your child your undivided attention. That does wonders for your child's feelings of self-worth because it sends the message that you think he's important and valuable. It doesn't have to take a lot of time; it just means taking a moment to stop flicking through the mail if he's trying to talk with you or turning off the TV long enough to answer a question. Make eye contact so it's clear that you're really listening to what he's saying. When you're strapped for time, let your child know it without ignoring his needs. Say, "Tell me all about what happened at soccer practice, and then when you're finished, I'll need to make our dinner."

Teach limits. Establish a few reasonable rules for your child. For instance, if you tell him to wear his helmet when he rides his bike in the driveway, don't let him go without it at his friend's house. Knowing that certain family rules are set in stone will help him feel more secure. He'll start to live by your expectations soon enough. Just be clear and consistent and show him that you trust him and expect him to do the right thing.

Support healthy risks. Encourage your child to explore something new, such as trying a different food, making a new friend, or riding a skateboard. Though there's always the possibility of failure, without risk there's little opportunity for success. So let your child safely experiment, and resist the urge to intervene. For instance, try not to "rescue" him the minute he's showing mild frustration at figuring out how to read a tricky word. Jumping in to say, "I'll do it" can foster dependence and diminish your child's confidence. You'll build his self-esteem by balancing your need to protect him with his need to tackle new tasks.

Let mistakes happen. The flip side, of course, of having choices and taking risks is that sometimes your child is bound to make mistakes. These are valuable lessons for your child's confidence. So if your child misses the school bus because he was dawdling in his bedroom, encourage him to think about what he might do differently next time. That way his self-esteem won't sag and he'll understand that it's okay to make mistakes sometimes. When you goof up yourself, admit it, says Daniel Meier, assistant professor of elementary education at San Francisco State University. Acknowledging and recovering from your mistakes sends a powerful message to your child — it makes it easier for your child to accept his own difficulties.

Celebrate the positive. Everyone responds well to encouragement, so make an effort to acknowledge the good things your child does every day within his earshot. For instance, tell his dad, "Peter did all his chores today without prompting." He'll get to bask in the glow of your praise and his dad's heartening response. And be specific. Instead of saying "Good job," say, "Thank you for setting the table for dinner." This will enhance his sense of accomplishment and self-worth and let him know exactly what he did right.

Listen well. If your child needs to talk, stop and listen to what he has to say. He needs to know that his thoughts, feelings, desires, and opinions matter. Help him get comfortable with his emotions by labeling them. Say, "I understand you're sad because you can't go to the sleepover." By accepting his emotions without judgment, you validate his feelings and show that you value what he has to say. If you share your own feelings ("I'm worried about Grandma. She's very sick"), he'll gain confidence in expressing his own.

Resist comparisons. Comments such as "Why can't you be more like your brother?" or "Why can't you be nice like Evan?" will just remind your child of where he struggles in a way that fosters shame, envy, and competition. Even positive comparisons, such as "You're the best player" are potentially damaging because a child can find it hard to live up to this image. If you let your child know that you appreciate him for the unique individual he is, he'll be more likely to value himself too.

Offer empathy. If your child compares himself unfavorably to his siblings or peers ("Why can't I throw a football like Nicholas?"), show him empathy and then emphasize one of his strengths. For instance, say, "You're right. Nicholas is good at throwing a football. And you're a fast runner." This can help your child learn that we all have strengths and weaknesses, and that he doesn't have to be perfect to feel good about himself.

Provide encouragement. Every child needs the kind of support from loved ones that signals, "I believe in you. I see your effort. Keep going!" Encouragement means acknowledging progress — not just rewarding achievement. So if your child is struggling with a math problem, say: "You're trying very hard and you almost have it!" instead of "Not like that. Let me do it."

There's a difference between praise and encouragement. One rewards the task while the other rewards the person ("You did it!" rather than "I'm proud of you!"). Praise can make a child feel that he's only "good" if he does something perfectly. Encouragement, on the other hand, acknowledges the effort. "Tell me about the game. I saw you really hustling out there" is more helpful than saying, "You're the best player on the team." Too much praise can sap self-esteem because it can create pressure to perform and set up a continual need for approval from others. So dole out the praise judiciously and offer encouragement liberally; it will help your child grow up to feel good about himself.

苏黎世人寿计划在香港招聘1,400人

路透香港1月14日电---以市值计欧洲第四大保险业者--苏黎世金融服务(Zurich Financial Services)(ZURN.VX: 行情)周四表示,其人寿业务计划在香港招聘1,400人,新推出特许代理的销售渠道後,该渠道生意额到年底占公司总额的20%.

苏黎世亚洲区营销及服务董事周咏姬在记者会上又称,由于监管加强,香港人对投资产品的信心基本恢复,有关产品的销售可能回到金融危机之前的数目和比例.

新的特许代理销售渠道为香港首个,是以企业为营运个体,透过新成立夥伴销售苏黎世保险产品.苏黎世人寿目标今年招揽20间特许代理;该公司目前已签署了三间代理.

周咏姬表示,在香港之後,苏黎世人寿也会考虑在其他亚洲国家推出特许代理的新渠道.

苏黎世人寿保险的亚洲业务占集团约7-8%,当中一半来自香港.该公司现拥有中国新华人寿20%股权、在马来西亚设有合营公司,并正在印尼申请牌照.
