英語流行話題聽力:Unit66 孩子"無聊"背后的潛臺詞

[00:00.12] Unit 66 Hidden Message behind a's Child Boredom" Mommy, I 'm bored." The child's complaint sounds innocent. [00:11.23] The tone is demanding:" I need something to do." It's blaming:" You 're not doing anything about it. [00:20.10]" And challenging," Just try one of your useless suggestions." What do you do with a ked dying of boredom? [00:29.21] Before we can think about what to do, we need to look more closely at what children might actually mean when they say, [00:36.59]" I 'm bored." They might be saying," I have not been getting enough sleep," in which case high stimulating entertainment is not available. [00:47.56] A more complex message behind boredom might be:" I now have time to dwell on anxieties or fears that are usually pushed aside by interesting activities. [01:00.20]" It may be that children need time to hide themselves in nothingness in order to unlock their imaginations. [01:08.21] We know that one way kids work out inner problems is through imaginative play. [01:14.37] They actually re create themselves through fantasy, make believe games or artistic expression. [01:22.26] They can play out emotions that might be too overwhelming, e.g. by pretending to be their favorite superhero and fighting their worst fear. [01:33.31] They develop resourcefulness by replaying difficult real life scenarios and developing solutions to problems. [01:41.28] Or they might just play in a way that enables them to recognize and accept their feelings. [01:47.48] Engaging in imagination engages a part of the brain that may not be used in school. [01:54.25] Research on brain activity shows that what we know as imagination is generated in the right side of the brain where" open ended ideation" takes place. [02:06.39] In contrast, the left side of the brain is though thought to be" linear and logical. [02:12.58]" Performance in school, for example, tends to require intensive left side activity. [02:19.12] Thus, the right brain provides an escape from life in the" fast lane" left side, and a rest from the barrage of external stimuli children are constantly processing in their daily lives. [02:32.57] Imagination provides many possibilities for play, and some children just seem to be born blessed with good imaginations. [02:41.56] However," Use your imagination" is not a realistic requirement. [02:51.16] How do we encourage and cultivate this way of being?
