Families are the busiest they've ever been. According to a Pew Research Center report, nearly half of all two-parent families have two partners who work full time, a sharp increase from previous decades. With schedules often bursting at the seams between work, school, appointments, and extracurricular activities, it's no surprise that more than half of all working parents say this balancing act is difficult. And all work and no fun makes for some dull parenting. 现在，每个家庭都是最忙的时候。据皮尤研究中心报道，在双亲家庭中，近半数父母都有全职工作，与前几十年相比，这一数量急剧增加。他们每天都在工作、学校、预约和课外活动间奔走，难怪多半以上有全职工作的父母会说想要取得平衡真是件难事。由于这些家长只有工作而没有乐趣，所以他们的教育方式也很无趣。 If you never quite know what to do with stuffed animals, or you feel like every stack of construction paper is just another project, all is not lost. You can connect with your kids and find fun doing it. It just takes a little time, and maybe not doing arts and crafts if that stresses you out. 如果你不太了解怎么搞填充动物，或者觉得每一叠建筑图纸只是另一个项目，那就还有一线希望。你可以了解自己的孩子，和他们一起找寻乐趣。这只需要一小会儿，如果压力很大的话，可以不用选择做艺术品或手工艺品。 |
