“家”教
南美互惠生包括了哥伦比亚,巴西,阿根廷等国家,虽然墨西哥从地理位置上属于北美,但从性格特点上看,也应该算在这个队列当中。
徐帆和陈建斌主演的“洋妞到我家”这部电影讲的就是哥伦比亚互惠生进入中国家庭后的故事。南美的特点就是热情如火,动感实足。他们带给中国家庭的除了欢乐还是欢乐!
家庭背景:
父母职业背景多样性,大都来自多子女家庭,家庭观念很强。
项目时长:
基本上都是长期的,12个月的项目时长很多。
陪伴孩子:
他们会带给孩子各种欢乐!南美互惠生大都多才多艺,能歌善舞,所以很容易让孩子喜欢并且依赖。由于他们天生易于打交道,愿意和别人沟通,所以这方面的性格特点也很能让中国家庭孩子受益,开始变得大胆,自信和开朗。
对于中国家庭教育:
他们会乐于听从中国家庭的安排,甚至对中国的一些教育方法也感到很新奇。他们会尽自己的努力完成家庭安排的陪伴职责,也愿意分享自己本国的教育方法。总之,有一个南美的互惠生会让家里不再冷清,给中国紧张的家庭教育气氛带来活泼轻松的改变。
时间观念:
非常有适应性,Flexible and active (容易变通,并且积极主动)。他们会严格执行时间表,但对于额外的时间安排也不反对,前提是别太过分。让他们充分享受家庭气氛和家人般的待遇,他们就会把孩子般天真的热情都贡献给你们。
沟通:
尽管南美学生也都很独立并且有主见,但根据北京互惠生中心这些年的总结,来到中国的学生都非常非常珍惜这次难得的体验,所以在与家庭发生矛盾时,经常会主动退让,尽自己的努力来配合家庭。即使特别需要解决的问题,他们认为无法再忍耐时,也会第一时间先向HHS中心的老师寻求帮助,而不是主动和家庭讲清。所以,他们是一群很懂事的孩子,我们也因此建议家庭要善待他们,并鼓励他们大胆说出自己的想法。
综合建议:
热情也会有优点和缺点。所谓缺点就是他们的热情一但受到打击,就很容易变得沮丧。而闷闷不乐也许仅仅一个晚上之后,第二天清晨就又精神焕发了。所以,如果您觉得自己的孩子过于内向,不善于和别人沟通,那么为他(她)找一个南美的哥哥姐姐,会收到奇效的。
So far I have been with my host family for about 10 months and a half, my host kid is 5 years old qing qing, when we spend time together we basically play barbies, but what we usually do is first invent and story together and then we play it out with barbies. We both like to listen to music so we sing a lot at home, even my host mom join us I remember that the first song that I thought her was Hakuna Matata, singing songs with the kids is a really good way for them to improve their English. I think that we kind of have a routine when she gets home from school we first have dinner, sometimes at that time is when my host mom tell me things about China or just her, after that I start playing with Qing Qing either barbies or just pretend that we are pirates or something, we use the coloring books or the finger paints and do what we call “crazy painting” she loves that, she has a lot of books both in English and in Chinese so we also read a lot, sometimes what we do is she first read one for me in Chinese and then I read one in English, when Im readying in English to her I ask her if there is any word that she understands and then I try to explain the meaning to her. She is not allowed to watch tv, or using the ipad but sometimes I ask my host parents and they allow me to show her a video. Im always telling her things about mexico and my family, she loves when I show her pictures of my dog or when I tell her stories about me and my brother, last time my brother sang her a song in spanish and after playing it again a couple of times she was able to sing it.
