英國一對父母為防止兩個女兒變成“沙發土豆”,對她們下達一年的電視禁令,作為補償,又與女兒共同列出100項戶外活動,且全程參與。一年下來,一家人感覺效果不錯,已經著手制定來年的百項活動清單。
諾丁漢郡的蒂姆·米克和克麗·米克夫婦均為教師,育有兩個女兒,大女兒埃米現年10歲,小女兒埃拉8歲。看到女兒閒時總是看電視或是玩電子游戲,夫婦倆決定,在一年裡禁止女兒看電視,作為補償,在征求她們意見後列出了100項戶外活動的清單。為了鼓勵女兒,戶外活動米克夫婦樣樣參與。為鼓勵更多人投身戶外,他們把全家人的戶外活動錄成視頻,並設立網站與大家分享。“我們希望能幫到其他父母,給孩子更多積極影響,”蒂姆說。
米克夫婦為女兒列出的百項戶外挑戰不僅考慮到娛樂,還兼顧鍛煉膽識和培養生活、社交技能,內容包括浮潛、滑雪、漂流、攀岩、爬法國埃菲爾鐵塔、參加音樂節、在城裡露營、戶外慶生、在野外生火和覓食、走扁帶、岩洞探險、24小時不用電、在母親節為媽媽做飯、在全校師生面前賣面包為慈善機構籌款、參加社區勞動等。每逢周末或假期,一家人就出發,挑戰清單上的項目。
剛剛過去的周末,米克一家完成了100項戶外活動,總共花費不到500英鎊。蒂姆說,一年下來,他們全家感覺精神狀態更為積極向上。“我們並沒有絕對禁止她們看電視,不過現在她們基本不想看了。”
如今,這家人已經開始為來年的百項活動制定清單。蒂姆說:“現在,女兒們開始為活動內容出主意,她們決定要住在山裡,我們打算哪天就去。”據新華社
