he Qingdao Expat Charity Group is held together by a succession of volunteers in the foreign community. The main aim has been to assist a number of rural children, allowing them to attend school, along with improving school conditions and visiting each student twice a year. Providing vital financial assistance for medical treatment has also been a key concern, saving and improving young children’s lives.

Qingdao Expat Charity Group maintains close contact with Qingdao’s children’s hospital; providing financial aid for life-threatening medical procedures.

School Assistance: A yearly tradition, our charity supports school children of various ages and their necessary insurance. This aid ensures many are able to complete their education and bring hope to their families throughout rural Qingdao.

Medical Support: The funds raised through many efforts and occassions within the Qingdao community have led to more financial aid being made available for medical care. The Expat Charity Committee reviews cases carefully and assists children facing life-threatening illnesses. Heart surgeries, brittle bone correction and leukemia have been some major cases where the funds have changed lives.

Members of the committee visit the hospitals, meet the families and children. They take small gifts to the children and remain in contact with the hospital throughout the process.

学校援助： 依照传统，我们的慈善组织每年都会支 持不同年龄的失学儿童，并帮助他们购买必 要的保险。这项补助能够保证他们完成各自

I don’t think Santa Claus is true because then he’ll be so tired. 圣诞节总是让我很好奇，因为我从来没有见 过圣诞老人，所以我不知道他到底是不是真 的存在。还有，他怎么知道我们家在哪里和 我们的愿望是什么？他怎么能在一个晚上跑 遍全世界？我不觉得圣诞老人真的存在，要 不然他会多累啊。

Chris is in his first year teaching MUN at ISQ and Sarah is taking care of Jonathan and Nora at home. We hope to learn a lot about our new host country, make friends among the national and expat communities and grow in our faith while in Qingdao. When we think of “family” we think of bonds of love that may or may not be tied to blood. Family means commitment and care despite differences of opinion, and when we’re in a family, we’re committed to one another for the long haul.

‘Family’ are two customers of the Bank of Dad, in Europe (Nice and Newcastle) plus scores and scores of teenage students at school, home & boardinghouse 24/7; it is all one word, one idea. “Wonderful children” is alternately a tautology and an oxymoron. Never a dull moment.

Chirs是第一年来到青岛MTI 国际学校任职，教授模拟联合国 课程，Sarah在家照顾Jonathan 和Nora。我们希望能够更深入地 了解中国，结识当地或者同样旅 居国外的朋友，在青岛信心满满 地生活下去。“家庭”对于我们 来说，指的是一种爱的交织，它 无需建立在血缘基础上。家庭对 我们而言，意味着信守承诺，相 互扶持，求同存异和不离不弃。

We started our family here too, and at the moment, we are expecting our second baby to introduce to the excitement of Qingdao. ‘Family’, to us, is sharing what you have and dream of with your loved ones, it’s when you have a backup in any situation and live for seeing each other everyday or knowing that there is someone special waiting for you at homes.

The Chens Chenjian, Amber and Violet (15 months) USA/CHINA Chenjian and Violet are “CBA”s-Chinese born Americans. Chenjian and I met in 2004 in Beijing and got married 7 months later in 2005. We moved to the US in 2007. Chenjian became a US citizen in July of 2011 and we moved back to China in August, 2011. Violet was born in Qingdao in 2012.

We both work with The Chinese Montessori Society in Qingdao.

Our goal is to stay here in Qingdao as long as possible and continue establishing our life here. We love China, especially Qingdao. We want Violet to grow up and be happy and full of purposeful experiences.

To us, family consists of not only the three of us, but the community we have here as well. We have so many wonderful friends that we love here. And it’s so special because our closest friends are from all over. If it wasn’t for us all being in Qingdao, we’d never have known them, and we’ve become so close we can’t imagine not knowing them.

Family to us are those we hold most dear!

陈建一家 陈建（音译）、Amber和15个月大的Violet 陈建和Violet父女俩都是在华出生的美 国人。2004年我和陈建在北京认识，7个月 之后，也就是2005年，我们结婚了。2007 年我们搬到了美国。在2011年7月份，陈 建成为了美国公民，当年的8月份我们就一 起回到了中国。2012年，Violet在青岛出生 了。 我们夫妻俩都在青岛的中国蒙台梭利协 会任职。我们的计划是尽可能地留在青岛生 活。我们很喜欢中国，对青岛情有独钟。我 们希望Violet能在这里，快乐地、充满理想 地长大。 对于我们来说，家庭不只我们3个人， 还有周围的社区。在这里，我们有很多爱 我们的朋友。更难得的是，我们最要好的朋 友都来自世界各地。如果不是因为大家都在 青岛，我们可能根本就不会认识他们，更加 不会变成如此亲近的朋友。很难想象，如果 没有他们这群朋友，我们的生活会是怎么样 的。对我们来说，家庭就是那些我们最亲爱 的人们！

“家庭”的关系就像是银行跟顾 客（父母和孩子）一样。我们有两个 家，一个在法国尼斯，一个在英国纽卡 斯尔，（家庭里）还有我们任教的全日 寄宿学校里的一群孩子。家庭，就是一 个词，一种涵义。让父母省心的孩子似 乎从来就是可遇不可求的，他们让生活 从不乏味，总是那么丰富多彩。

冬季 Dr. Olive’s 护牙 Teeth Care Tips 冬季 Tips for protecting 护牙 your teeth in winter

W

inter brings with it not just chilly days, but also, according to our outpatients’ log book, visits caused by toothaches. There are two main reasons for this.

First, our teeth are very sensitive to temperature. You will suddenly feel a stabbing pain or sustained pain on the offending tooth when approaching cold air or water, and alternatively, if going between hot and cold.

Second of all, it's easier for people to catch colds during winter because of a decrease in their resistance. Chronic diseases tend to flare up in such conditions, for example: inflammation of wisdom teeth and periodontal tissue (gums).

Don’t panic if there’s a stabbing pain when you drink cold water every once in a while.

Frankly speaking, it’s an alert from your body that there may be a crack (or some decay) on one of your teeth. Besides seeing your dentist to avoid acute pain or tooth trauma, Dr. Olive Liao provides you with some tips:

寒

风来袭后，看牙痛急诊的朋友也突然增多 起来，主要原因有两个：牙齿对温差敏 感，遇冷空气、凉水或冷热突然交替会引 起瞬间刺激痛或引起本来有问题的牙疼痛持续发作； 冬季易感冒引起抵抗力下降，也会引起本来有慢性病 症的牙齿急性发作，如智齿或牙周炎症。 偶尔喝冷水有刺痛不必恐慌，其实他是个警告信 号提醒你某处有缺损了。除了看牙医外，为防止急性 疼痛或牙齿外伤带来的麻烦，以下的温馨提示或许对 您有帮助哦：

12

1.

Wear a face mask when you go out. The gum tissue will die if teeth are exposed to temperatures under -30℃ on a regular basis.

出门要带口罩，牙齿在-30℃下暴露时，牙髓会被冷冻 坏死。

2.

Brush the junction of your teeth and gums more carefully when you catch a

cold.

感冒时更应仔细刷牙齿、牙龈交界处。

3.

Wear a mouth protector when playing outdoor sports, like ice skating.

户外运动，如滑冰时应带护牙套。

4.

Don’t eat nuts when the weather’s cold, your teeth could get cracked.

低温空气中不要嗑瓜子，冷冻下的牙容易发生隐裂（裂 纹）。

5.

Don’t drink anything hot too fast, especially if you just came in from the cold.

从户外进屋后，不要猛喝热饮。

6.

Don’t put your hands in your pockets when you are walking. If you can’t support yourself when you slip on the ground, you could hurt your teeth. 走路时双手不要插裤兜，防止滑倒时手不能及时扶地， 磕伤牙齿。

A Kick Start Opportunity 机会就在“脚”下 Jieling Liu and Rosanne Goedhart sit down and chat with Sandor Nagy, a Hungarian footballer (and once a Budapest restaurant owner in Beijing) who’s aiming to improve the football education scene in the community in Qingdao. 最近，Jieling和Rosanne跟资深足球运动员纳吉·桑德进行了一次交流，聊了一些有关足球的内容。 桑德来自匈牙利，与足球打了几十年交道，他还曾经是北京一家匈牙利餐馆的老板，现致力于发展青岛 的足球教育。

A Longstanding Enthusiasm for Football

Growing up in north-east Hungary, this 198 cm tall, 39 year old East European footballer has been engaged in a long-standing association with football - more accurately - he’s led a professional career in football for more than 16 years. He made his name as a striker in the top divisions in Hungary and Israel (Hapoel Hadera), winning the Hungarian National Championship and reaching the finals in the National Cup in 1999/2000. In 2004, Sandor came to China to play for teams in Nanjing, and later in Qingdao.

On retiring from the professional field in 2008, Sandor completed his UEFA B Coaching License, and then came to China to coach and to work in professional player management and sports tourism.

Sandor Nagy established his own professional sports management company, Nakasa (Beijing) Man-

agement Ltd. in 2009. The company aims to bring sports, shows and entertainment to the world, as well as to show football (soccer) and other sports from a different angle and raise awareness for lesser known sports in China.

In March 2013, Sandor set out to build a football community and football academy for schools in Qingdao through the FIFA Grassroot Programme. The new football community is called Great Football United.

Sandor says their main objective is to allow football to be discovered by as many people as possible. He thinks the best way of attracting new players to the sport is to give them access to football in their own environment - whatever their age, sex, physical condition, skin colour, religion or ethnic origin.

Junior Coaching The Junior Coaching Programme is conducted in English by Great Football’s professional FA/UEFA-qualified

与足球的不解之缘 现今39岁、1米98大高个的纳吉·桑德 出生于匈牙利东北部的一个家庭。他曾是一 名职业足球运动员（确切的说踢了超过16 年），作为一名优秀的前锋，他曾先后效力 于匈牙利的顶尖球队以及以色列的哈迪拉工 人队，并分别于2000年和1999年夺得全国冠 军和亚军。2004年，桑德来到了中国，先后 效力于南京和青岛的市官方球队。 桑德于2008年退役，并拿到了欧足联认 证的B级足球教练证，之后他仍回到中国，当 起了足球教练，并开始参与职业足球运动员 经纪和体育表演赛事方面的工作。 一年以后，也就是2009年，桑德成立了 自己的职业体育发展公司，纳卡沙（北京） 体育文化发展有限公司。该公司旨在将体育 赛事、体育精神以及乐趣传递给众人，让中 国的普通人对足球和其他运动有一个全新的 认识，并推广一些在中国尚未普及开来的运 动。 今年3月，通过国际足联的“草根足球” 计划，桑德为青岛的适龄儿童成立了欧亚大 众足球俱乐部，并开办了足球训练班。在谈 及其创办初衷时，桑德说道，他希望能让更 多的人了解足球并参与足球，不论年龄、性

coaches from Europe, such as Sandor, sometimes also with a Chinese assistant coach where required. This Programme is aimed to teaching fundamental skills and building a passion for football.

“We believe that a child must have fun and truly enjoy what he or she is doing to learn successfully.” said Sandor.

For those kids that have no experiences in football, they will need to attend first in the practice sessions.

After they have obtained (or for those that have already obtained) a basic skill to play match, they can join the GFU Junior League Team, in which they practice once a week and play on weekends.

It’s seems obvious when it comes to the benefits of football practice. “The league is designed to allow players to develop their game in a friendly but competitive environment, sportsmanship and teamwork are emphasized throughout.” Sandor explained.

Winter Season The winter season of the Qingdao International Junior Football League will start at 12 January, during which there will be a 3rd league (12-14 years old kids).

The winter season will be held at the gym of ISQ and finished at the end of March (23rd).

every Monday evening in ISQ’s Baishan Campus in Laoshan. The main purpose, said Sandor, is to get them together, play some fun games, and to relax. There are 12 women involved regularly now. And don’t worry about financial crisis because it’s only 25 yuan for per class!

Scholarship Programme for True Talents A US sports management company called Upper 90 is reaching a hand to Qingdao through Sandor. They offer an exciting scholarship to those kids that have real talents, or dreams of being good footballers. Yet the scholarship has some requirements that, you will get it only if you’re truly qualified to a certain level.

This is an absolutely amazing good news for a lot of kids and parents who are planing for bright future in the professional football field. With a

Why

It’s Important to Buy Organic 购买有机食品的重要性 You may have heard reports that there is no significant difference nutritionally between organic and conventionally grown produce.

And these reports are factual, the purpose of organic produce isn’t to provide more nutritional value. Its purpose is to provide consumers a safer product in terms of exposure to toxins and to provide the planet a more sustainable and ecologically responsible method of farming.

Organic Food: What, Why, Where and How?

有机食品面面观 Jen Gallogly peels back the label on what organic can mean in different parts of the world, how to find it locally and how to grow some yourself. “有机食品”这一标签代表着什么？这里头有什么学问？Jen Gallogy将为大家解读此标签，并分享一些如何选购以及自己种 植的建议。

What

The Label “Organic” Means 什么是“有机”？ Different countries have slightly different regulations, but in general a certified organic label verifies that no chemical pesticides, petroleum-based fertilizers, nor genetically-modified seeds have been used to produce the food. Regulations differ regarding farming practices and inputs such as soil quality, pollution control methods, living conditions of livestock, feed and exposure to

18

growth hormones and antibiotics.

Likewise, the percentage of ingredients that need to be organic for a processed food item, like breakfast cereal or bread to be certified organi c differs from country to country. For example, in the US at least 95% of a product’s ingredients must be certified organic in order for the entire product to be certified. 在对有机食品的认证方面上，不同国 家略有差别。总体上讲，“有机”是指不使 用化学农药、不施化肥、不使用经基因技术 改造过的种子。考虑到耕作方式、土质、污 染控制以及牲畜的饲养环境、饲料和接触

生长激素和抗生素程度方面的不同，各国在 认证机制上均进行了相应的调整。加工食品 也不例外，在有机原料含量方面亦有不同的 标准，同样品质的早餐谷物麦片或者面包在 一国符合有机食品标准，在另一国也许无法 被认证。举个例子，在美国，只有有机原料 含量在95%以上的产品，才可称之为有机产 品。

Look for these labels 请认准如下标志

Exposure to toxic chemicals and pollution is already a concern for most people living in China. Just by virtue of living in China, we are probably increasing our exposure to toxins compared to our native countries.

There are many aspects of this over which we have little control, but purchasing organic foods is one way to minimize our exposure. Pesticides have been linked to various health problems including cancer, hormonal imbalances, skin, eye and lung irritations, as well as impairment of brain and nervous system functions.

Organic produce is frequently more expensive than that which is conventionally grown, so many might want to prioritise purchases. The US-based Environmental Working Group (EWG) annually publishes two guides listing the dirtiest (Dirty Dozen Plus™) and cleanest (Clean Fifteen™) foods available in the US. These lists are based on US conditions and growing methods, however characteristics of the foods themselves (such as skin/peel permeability) is an important factor so the lists should still be relevant to Chinese consumers. 或许你已从一些报道中了解到，有机产 品和传统产品在营养成分上并没有太明显的 区别。这些报道也并非空穴来风。有机食品 的真正卖点并非在于提高营养价值，而是在 于食品的安全性（考虑到生产环节中所接触 到的有害物质），同时也有利于构建可持续 和生态化的耕作模式。

如今，有害化学物质和污染已经引起了 大多数中国人的关注。不过，中国的生态环 境相对国外来说较差，因此，接触有害物质 的几率也有所增加。虽然我们或多或少总会 接触到有害物质，但是食用有机食品能将接 触几率降到最低。多种疾病都与化学农药的 使用有关，包括癌症、荷尔蒙紊乱、皮肤过 敏、眼睛和肺部发炎，以及大脑和神经系统 的损伤。 有机产品的价格通常要比传统产品高一 些，因此有必要知道哪些应该买有机的，哪 些则不必。美国环境工作组（EWG）公布 了两张年度红黑榜，榜单列了出美国境内14 种受污染程度最严重的食品和15种最干净的 食品。虽然榜单依据的是美国的生态环境和 种植方法，但并没有忽略食物自身的特点（ 比如果皮渗透性等），所以对中国消费者来 说，也具有一定的参考价值。

Where

to Buy Organic in Qingdao 青岛何处可购买有机食品 Several supermarkets such as Hisense Plaza, Marina City, Xin Kuai Comprehensive Foods Supermarket on Chenghai Yi Lu, the imported goods supermarket at the Sunshine City Plaza, the newly-opened Cookbase Organic Shop on Haikou Lu in Laoshan District, Aeon (Jusco) and Metro offer organic foods.

As a Qingdao resident, though you are used to that uncertainty: you don’t know how important the difference is, but you appreciate that Qingdao’s environment is a bit better than other parts of China.

在青岛本地，你可以在以下这些地方 买到有机食品：海信广场和百丽广场内的超 市、澄海一路的“新快”综合食品超市、阳 光百货的进口食品超市，还有海口路新开的 康泊庄园有机健康生活馆，永旺（佳世客） 以及麦德龙等。

还有一种办法可以让生活 更加有机，那就是自己种植。不 少蔬菜或者香草都比较容易成 活，也不占地方，自家的阳台就 可以。您可以从淘宝或者亚马逊 网站购买种子或幼苗，也可以从 自己家乡带。如果您不知道怎么 种，网上有很多关于如何种植水 Photo © Jen Gallogly 果、蔬菜、香草的英语文章可供 参考。我为大家搜罗了一些网站，希望能对 For those who are more adventurous 您有所帮助。 you can also check out The Learning

除此以外，山东作为农业大省，遍地都 是有机农场。您还可以从大地农场（日资有 机农场）和青岛华盛绿能农业科技有限公司 所属农场直接采购。

there are numerous organic farms in the surrounding area. Two that sell directly to consumers are the Japanese venture, Dai Chi Farm, and Qingdao Huasheng Green Agricultural Science and Technology Co., Ltd. Dai Chi Farm is located in Weifang and welcomes groups to visit the farm and pick their own vegetables.

My family and I went there in June 2013. We picked lettuces, eggplants, peppers and tomatoes. The price is more expensive than going to your local outdoor market, but you know exactly where your food came from. In addition to fresh produce, they also offer organic rice, meats and imported fish, such as Chilean salmon. You can visit their storefront

Their produce can also be found in some of the local supermarkets such as at the Hisense Plaza. Home delivery can be arranged by calling 88015151.

Qingdao Huasheng Green Agricultural Science and Technology Co., Ltd. is located in Jimo. One of the interesting things about their farm is that they utilise solar panels in their greenhouses, so they not only grow organic produce but also capture energy. Customers purchase a year-long membership for 5,680元 and then every week about 10 items

大地农场位于潍坊，你可以实地参观 并亲自采摘蔬菜。今年六月我就带着家人去 那儿感受了一番。我们割生菜，摘茄子和辣 椒，还挖了土豆。虽然价格要比本地农贸市 场的贵一些，但至少吃得放心。除了蔬菜以 外，农场还提供有机大米、有机肉类和进口 海产，比如智利的三文鱼。他们在青大三路 设有门店（营业时间：周一到周日，早上8点 至下午6点），您不妨可以去看一下，沿着香 港东路的英派斯健身馆，往北（浮山方向） 走一小段路就到了。您也可以去海信广场附 设的超市购买，或者要求送货上门，订购电 话是88015151。 青岛华盛绿能农业科技有限公司的农场 位于即墨。该农场最大的特点是温室内装有 太阳能电池板，即节能又环保。只需要5680 元，你就可以成为农场的会员，每周都会有 专人为您送上10件总重量达10斤左右的有机 食品。算一下每星期才110元，真的很划算。 食品种类视季节而定，现在他们有土豆、萝 卜、青椒、苹果、茄子、西兰花、蒜苔、豆 芽和沙拉用蔬菜供你选择。虽然我咨询的那 位客服不懂英语，但她十分耐心，尽可能地 用简单的汉语与我沟通，直到我明白为止。

How

to Grow Your Own 如何自己种植 Another option is to take organic into your own hands. There are several vegetables and herbs that are easy to grow even in a small apartment space, especially if you utilise your yangtai (that enclosed balcony-like area, where you probably dry clothes). Seeds and starter plants are available on Taobao and Amazon (with either good Chinese skills or the help of a Chinese friend) or you can bring your own. The internet offers plenty of English language information for learning the best fruits, vegetables, and herbs to grow as well as plenty of tips for growing them.

Some sites that I found to get you started are: Google “best plants to grow indoors.”

These links even have tips for growing what they call garlic greens, but are commonly known here in China as suantai. This site gives you information for 16 plants.

Channel’s website which will give you sixty-six things you can grow at home in a container. Google “sixty six things grow home containers without garden” and you’ll find it.

If you want to be a little less hands on, but still have home-grown produce, you can lease land from a farmer in Laoshan and they will do the work for you (except for harvesting). An advantage according to one lessee is that they charge extra for pesticides, so you know they aren’t using them if you don’t pay. Harvesting the food your family will eat may also be a spiritually satisfying activity for you and the kids.

Unfortunately, in some ways, spiritual satisfaction may be the most obvious health benefit from eating organic produce. Studies on the chemicals present in food are limited compared to the vast number of toxins present at differing levels in the environment. You are not going to know for sure how much cleaner your

用谷歌搜索“最适宜室内种植的植物”， 你就可以找到关于16种作物的种植指南，甚 至包括蒜苔。 如果16种还不能满足你的话，可以在谷 歌中搜索“66种可供盆栽的作物”，你就可 以找到相关信息并施展自己的栽培才华了。 如果你怕动手的话，还可以去崂山， 从当地的农民那儿租一小块地，把种子给他 们，替你代种，然后自己去采摘。这种方 法相比直接从农场购买更好，你要是不额外 付费的话，他们才懒得为你洒农药。当家人 吃着自己种植的食品时，那种精神上的满足 感，是单纯购买所无法比拟的。 精神满足感大概是吃有机食品最直接的 收益了。研究表明，食物中的化学毒素相对 环境中的有害物质而言，基本上不值一提。 有机食品到底比传统食品干净多少？那部分 被减少的有害物质究竟对身体有多大影响？ 这些你又从何而知？对于本地居民来说，他 们大概早已习惯了这种“事物的未知性”。 你可能不知道这些问题的答案，不过会庆幸 青岛的自然环境比中国的其他地方略微好一 点儿。

day in the life of a Yew Chung (YCIS) student holds an array of subjects and opportunities. One unique subject that is part of the curriculum is Character First, a comprehensive programme delivered by age appropriate methods, which enlightens the young person and promotes good character.

We live in a society where actions count, the style and manner in which

we behave is important. Lessons in character formation are fully integrated with the weekly schedule of the students’ timetable. “The Thought of the Day” is a short daily focus pulling on the meaning of one chosen quality, such as patience, forgiveness, attentiveness, tolerance etc.

Activities to portray and explain the value of the word can take the form of role-play, discussion or artwork.

The focus word may be reflected

upon throughout that day and of course at any time when needed later on. Students are encouraged to practice these qualities when interacting at school, at home and within the community.

“We believe that the classroom activities are fundamental to allow the children to learn about these qualities,” says a YCIS Primary teacher.

“Positive praise and encouragement

‘Expect nothing in return’ is at the heart of charitable efforts. “Love and Charity” features in a line of the YCIS School Motto; staff are always keen to explore channels to reach those worse off than ourselves. We are always so impressed with the response shown by our students (with the tremendous support of parents) when we initiate a new drive to give to others. Previous charitable efforts have included:

The Character Formation Programme allows a weekly reflection of the typical behaviour of well-known animals, helping the children to understand the true meaning of the gesture and character. “Diligence,” for example, is explained through the story of a beaver that keeps working hard, finishing his task, concentrating and not being lazy. A song, a story, lesson activities and discussions of how to display this personality trait all contribute to it being embraced by the children.

The Student Council members represented the whole school and carefully delivered each bag to the correct family.

Non-Uniform Day – YCIS students wear a uniform, but occasionally one day will be declared “non-uniform day” with the invitation to make a small cash contribution to a cause.

Bravery and boldness, sensitivity and discernment are other traits that the students learn more about, wherever possible they practice and support each other to grow and develop. Our parents witness the inner transformation and are delighted to see this is an automatic part of the day in the life of a YCIS student.

The Hutong Education recently welcomed another class of students to check out some of Beijing’s most art- and design-focused creative hubs as part of their Mosaic Interim “Creative Arts, Theatre & Design” program.

F

or the second consecutive year running, The Hutong brought together some of Beijing’s most creative workshops with students from Concordia International School Shanghai. With over a dozen cultural and outreach activities on their itineraries, here are a couple highlights from their trip.

798 Art District Born from the hollow hulks of decommissioned military factory structures in northeast Beijing, today 798 Art District stands as one of the best places in the city to see the contrast between old and new Beijing and how far the city has come by visiting contemporary art galleries and studios housed in former communist-era factory zone.

Aside from a tour of 798’s popular galleries like UCCA, Long March and 798 Art Space, The Hutong facilitated a photography challenge on 798’s lesser-known Sky Walk, where

students sought out to find and capture contrasts like modern vs. ancient, growth vs. decay, man-made vs. natural and order vs. disorder.

Migrant Children’s Foundation While personal creative development is always key to a well-rounded education, helping others in need reach their goals as well is the key to being human. Saving the best for last, the Mosaic Interim program was finished with a day out in Huairou in conjunction with Migrant Children’s Foundation, who arranged for a day of activities at a local migrant children’s school.

The students paired up with migrant students to paint canvases to brighten up the bare walls of their classrooms and they also re-painted the walls of their playground into beautiful landscapes from the desert to the ocean and rainforest. The artistic

result of their cooperation was fresh and imaginative, and important to breaking down any remaining cultural barriers between the students.

The Mosaic Interim Program will be introducing a wide range of activities with the aim of imparting a new perspective on what it means to be creative. Through the composition of their own Vine videos, participation in an improv workshop, and by learning the art of traditional Chinese shadow puppetry, students will experience first-hand how creativity transcends mediums. They’ll find themselves revelling in the prospect of meeting new people and experiencing unfamiliar cultures. Ultimately, we hope that students will truly surprise themselves after seeing the inspiring things they create.

ho hasn’t wanted to be a paleontologist? When I accepted my current position at QISS in the spring of 2012, I immediately searched for things my five-year-old son would enjoy doing and seeing in our new home in northeast China. Elijah possessed a not-so-unusual interest in dinosaurs (and still does). Knowing a bit about the growing field of paleontology in China and the fossil discoveries regularly reported from there, I soon found articles about Qingdao’s neighboring city, Zhucheng: the largest find of dinosaur fossils in the world! My discovery definitely warmed Elijah’s interest in our new home.

On a cold Christmas Eve in 2012 we finally got to tour the dig-site at Zhucheng – found only due to my dogged persistence. Most non-Mandarin speaking visitors to Zhucheng will be brought to the city museum of dinosaurs, which is pathetic, at best. Armed with my drawing of a dinosaur, I finally found a taxi driver willing and able to take the road less travelled.

Definitely out of the way, the dig site and museum are a distance from the city centre, but so worth the trip!

Visitors will see fossilised bones – femurs, scapula, vertebrae, ribs, skulls – of dinosaurs embedded in rock in a covered dig - site the length of a football field. Multiple species (hadrosaurs and Sinoceratops zhuchengensis, for example) are identified. And the accompanying museum – clearly showing a significant investment of time, thought and money – displays species from the site.

I’ve visited, with Elijah, museums in Colorado and Washington, D.C. that featured impressive exhibits of dinosaur fossils, but neither compared to what we saw in Zhucheng. Seeing the real fossils (most museums use replicas of fossils), in the ground and others on display in the museum is

incredible. And yes, the creators of the exhibits used postures that are now believed realistic – no upright tyrannosaurs here.

After our trip, I was eager to learn more and began to investigate on the internet. What I found was really interesting. For example, London’s Guardian reported in 2008 that the fossils at the site were found by workers who were digging there.

Previous fossil finds were discovered in Zhucheng (in 1964) by “. . . oil prospectors working for the state geological bureau.” David Stanway, in this article also mentions that the

The Washington Post in 2010 also reported that it has been speculated that the large collection of fossils at the site is the result of numerous bodies being left there after a catastrophic event that dates back to the end of the Mesozoic era, when dinosaurs became extinct. Ariana Eunjung Cha in her article also speaks of the paleontologist now most closely associated with the site: Dr. Xu Xing.

Wikipedia lists thirty different species described by Xu (most often as a

谁

没幻想过做一个考古学家 呢？2012年春天，我来到了山 东青岛第一国际学校任教。我五 岁大的儿子Elijah一直对恐龙非常痴迷。 于是，我马上开始在山东寻找他可能会喜 欢的东西，并查看了一些关于化石的报 告。在对中国的考古事业发展有了一些基 本了解之后，我很快就看到了一篇关于青 岛周边城市——诸城的文章，说那里发现 了世界上最大的恐龙化石！我的发现马上 激起了Elijah对新家的浓厚兴趣。 去年平安夜那天，天气很冷，在我的 再三坚持下，我们终于来到了诸城的恐龙 化石挖掘现场。很多不会说普通话的游客 去诸城时，都会被当地的司机带到恐龙博 物馆去，挺可怜的。我带着自己画的一张 恐龙图画，多次向路过的司机询问，终于 找到了一个肯带我们去这个没什么游客光 顾的恐龙化石挖掘现场的司机。 挖掘现场和博物馆离市中心都很远， 但都很值得一去！挖掘现场足足有一整个 足球场那么大，各种各样的骨骼化石镶嵌 于岩石表面上。参观者可以看到恐龙的 股骨、肩胛骨、脊椎骨、肋骨以及头骨等 等。鸭嘴龙和诸城中国角龙等多个恐龙物 种都发现在这里生存过。挖掘现场旁边的 博物馆陈列这不同的物种，其规模和设备 之庞大，明显反映出这里为展示考古成就 和恐龙文化而投入的时间、心思和金钱成 本。 儿子Elijah跟我曾去过科罗拉多州和 华盛顿特区的博物馆，那里的恐龙化石展 览也挺令人印象深刻的，不过，跟我们 在诸城看到的这些展览，完全不能相提并 论。在这里能看到真正的恐龙化石，而不 是像大多数其他博物馆那样的化石复制 品，这种震撼感和真实感实在太棒了。对 了，这里展览的恐龙，其动作都被科学认 为是真实存在过的。这里不存在直立的霸 王龙！ 旅程结束之后，我很想了解更多信 息，便开始在网上展开调查。其中一些搜 索结果真的很有意思。例如，2008年《伦 敦卫报》发表了一篇David Stanway的文 章，报道说那里的化石是当地的工人挖地 时无意中发现的。而更早前在诸城发现化 石，是在1964年由国家地质局的石油勘探 工人发现的。文中还提到，当地居民将含 钙量丰富的化石磨碎并加入中药里服用的 做法由来已久。

co-author with other Chinese paleontologists), nine of which are from the Zhucheng site.

《华盛顿邮报》在2010年 也推测：之所以会在诸城发现 规模如此庞大的恐龙化石，是 因为在中生代结束时，一次灾 难性的自然变化发生了，在灭 绝前的最后时刻，数以百计的 恐龙群集于此。在文章中，记 者查恩俊也提及到了一个跟诸 城恐龙现场紧密相关的古脊椎 动物学专家：徐星博士。维基 百科列举了徐博士（常与其他 中国古生物学家合著）描述的 30种不同的恐龙物种。其中有 9种是在诸城恐龙化石挖掘现场 发现的。

I brought my seventh grade students – being introduced to evolution – to Zhucheng in the spring of 2013. For them, it was all about homologous structures – similarities between varied species that indicate a common ancestor. Recently, in October, I brought my sixth graders who were studying the geological time scale – how Earth has changed over the past 4.6 billion years. Additionally, seventh and second grade students attended, with the second graders studying – more broadly – time and how things change.

Unfortunately, China has suffered from some significant smuggling of fossils, including those from Zhucheng. Australia’s Brisbane Times reported in 2008 that Australian authorities returned hundreds of kilogrammes of stolen fossils from China. Such reports make me further appreciate what I can still see at the site. I can only hope that the remaining unearthed fossils at Zhucheng are now being safely guarded.

I absolutely love taking students to visit this site. Who wouldn’t be excited by the sight of thousands of large and identifiable bones found in rock?

(In truth, the dig-site does resemble an unearthed mass grave.) We leave, by bus, when school starts in

the morning and return in time for students to catch their buses home.

I have felt guilty, knowing that (for good reason) such access would never be possible at a dig-site in the United States (Zhucheng has experienced significant theft in the past decade). But if my visits, with supervised students, can inspire them to study the sciences – zoology, paleontology, biology, geology, taxonomy, herpetology, to name a few – I will continue to bring them to this amazing place. Zhucheng undoubtedly enables Qingdao teachers the fieldtrip opportunity of a lifetime.

There are four dinosaur museums in Zhucheng altogether: the Cretaceous Dinosaur Geopark, Zhucheng Dinosaur Museum, Huanglong Valley Dinosaur Footprint Museum and the Dinosaur Egg Museum.

2013年春天，我带着我的 六年级学生（他们都学过进化 论）去诸城。对他们来说，这 些不同的物种，其实都是一个 同源结构的原因，即不同物种 由于来自共同祖先而具有的相 似性结构。最近，十月份的时 候，我又带着六年级学生，加上七年级和 二年级的学生去了诸城。六年级学生正在 学地质时间尺度，是关于地球在过去46亿 年是如何发生改变的。而二年级的学生学 的更广泛，是关于时间和事物是如何改变 的。 不幸的是，中国的许多恐龙化石都遭 到了偷运和贩卖，诸城也不例外。2008 年，澳大利亚的《布里斯班时报》撰文报 道澳洲当局将当年从中国偷走的数百公斤 化石悉数归还回来。这样的报道让我更加 心怀感恩，因为现在我们仍然可以进去参 观化石。我只希望诸城剩下的化石可以得 到安全的保护。 我很喜欢带学生去诸城参观恐龙化石 挖掘现场。能亲眼看到成千上万镶嵌在岩 石中的巨大恐龙化石，谁不兴奋呢（事实 上，那里也确实像一个出土的万人墓）？ 我们乘汽车离开，赶回去上早课，下午及 时回去，确保学生还可以搭校车回家。 我曾经感到内疚，因为我知道，像 诸城这样的巨大恐龙化石挖掘现场，换成 了在美国，肯定是可闻而不可及的。但如 果我和学生有这样的机会，能够一起去 参观并且激发他们去学习自然科学——生 态学、古生物学、地质学、生物学、分类 学、爬虫学等等的话，我将会继续把他们 带到这个神奇的地方。毫无疑问，诸城给 岛城的师生们提供了一个仅此一次的户外 参观学习机会。

e landed at Suvarnabhumi International airport in the wee hours of the morning with two, deep sleeping little people slung over our shoulders, and a handful of friends and high schoolers behind us in tow. The airport in Bangkok was buzzing, but I felt my stomach knot and sink when I saw a seemingly endless immigration line wrapping itself around me like a boa constrictor. It was 2 am, my back hurt and I was carrying my still sleeping two year old son, when my four year old daughter woke up and insisted that my already-occupied arms comfort her too.

I was sick, not simply from sore muscles or tiredness, but a looming sort of fear began to envelope me. Yet as we picked up our bags, stepped into the wet, clinging humidity of the night and boarded a bus for a nine-hour trek north, I was beginning to question myself: Was it really a good idea

32

to take my kids on this trip?

My kids were born in China; I’m all for travel with small ones when time and funds can afford. Most of us have boarded planes that soar over half of the world or more just so that our children can spend some time with their grandparents. So it’s not that travel in itself was being questioned at that moment in Thailand, it was the sort of travel we were doing this time.

There’s a small, quirky city about six hours west of Chiang Mai called Mae Sot. They have some decent pad Thai wrapped in newspaper for a dollar a pop, and some pretty rocking cha yen – a sweet, fluorescent orange Thai tea, but the real puller for us was a group of people called the Karen.

A few years earlier, a good friend had tipped me off about an organi-

sation on the Thai-Burmese border.

Raped, chased, villages burned, the Karen have been targeted for decades since the end of the Second World War primarily because of their support for British forces and their religious preference. My heart broke as I read about a minority people who were hunted down like animals and had their churches booby-trapped with landmines. Hard, sad stuff.

Despite difficulty, there are people who have decided to love and assist the Karen, helping them fight for hope. They provide underground networks of secret hide-outs with radios and rice rations for safe-keeping when being attacked. There are heroic people, called Free Burma Rangers, who sneak into Burma and perform on-site surgeries for people who have been maimed by landmines and are then carried into Thailand for further medical attention.

There are the steadfast who establish schools for the illegal immigrants who do not have the correct paper trail to earn refugee status and have to find a way to make life work as displaced foreigners without rights. The world is so big and the problems so vast, that we as individuals can’t possibly shoulder the weight of every wrong, but each of us can pick up a piece and hold it, bleed for it, hope for it. I wanted to simply show them that I cared for them by showing up and lending a hand. I was determined to take my children with me, but my mom thought I was insane.

My son battled fire ants. My daughter swelled up into a puff as she reacted to bites from who-knows-what sort of bug.

When your child asks for help, instead of doing it for them, show them how to be successful in doing it for themselves.

to Finding Your Zen in Parenting Laura Roark has some tips to keep you centred as a loving, caring – and sane – parent.

What made it even possible to imagine taking my children is that we were part of a team working together. A friend of mine, Roby Taw, came along with the intention of helping with my children. Being with other crazy people who are willing to help you out is a great blessing and enabling. Snacks also help, and so does ice cream.

After that, it’s pretty easy to find stuff on the internet and contact orphanages or NGOs about volunteering for even as small of an amount of time as half a day.

10 Steps

Here are ten simple, practical ways that can help you keep the joy in raising children even on the most trying of days.

••

••

••

当孩子寻求帮助的时候， 不能帮他们做完就草草了 事了，而应该教他们怎么 做，并让他们自己完成。

Smile and hug your child when they wake up in the morning.

Nothing says good morning better than a nice cuddle and there is no better way to get a good start to the day than with a warm smile.

••

Let your child make meaningful choices during the day. Would you like some banana or dragon fruit for a snack today? Do you want to wear the blue jacket or the green jacket today? Giving your child the chance to make her own choices builds confidence and reduces the child’s need to exert power in other ways.

Do you want your child to learn piano or English/Chinese?

Learn yourself too! When your child sees that you are also still learning new things it can help get them through the frustrating stages of learning something new and create a special bond too.

••

Take an interest in their interests. Build a super cool pillow fort in the living room, dress up as a pirate, have a tea party. There is a reason that children like to play, it’s fun!

••

Share your interests with your child. Do you like to read? Knit?

Build websites? Underwater basket weaving? Let your child take part in the things that you find fun and interesting too.

Cook and bake with your child.

I have never met a child who didn’t love to help with the cooking. Even a small child can help wash the vegetables and peel fruit. By four years old a child

can measure, pour and mix as well as do the washing up.

35

PARENTING

••

••

••

••

Teach your child to care of themselves from a young age.

Let them dress their self, feed themselves and put things back where they belong. They won’t be very good at it at first, but they will get the hang of things and that will make life a lot easier for you and more satisfying for them. When your child asks for help, instead of doing it for them, show them how to be successful in doing it for themselves.

Read to your child every day.

Not only is it a great way to build literacy skills, but it is also a special bonding time. Pay attention to your child’s interests when choosing stories. Does she love dinosaurs? Fascinated by princesses? Always ask why? Plug those words into Amazon China’s search bar and in a couple of days you can have a great new book at your doorstep.

Modify the environment. Small children can find it frustrating to always adapt to an adult-sized world and that frustration can build up. Putting a few step stools around the house can be a big help. Putting a low hook near the door to hang up a jacket, keeping books on a low shelf, having a child-sized chair and table for eating or drawing, can all help your child feel empowered to do things on their own.

Before you turn out the lights on another wild day of parenting adventure, give them one last hug and tell them how much you love them. Beginning and ending the day with love can make us all a little more zen.

Chances are, even though we miss the mark sometimes, our children are still going to love us more than anyone else in the world.

PARENTING

十招 在首期红星家庭指南 中，Laura Roark将与大家 分享一些育儿经验，教您如 何关爱呵护并教育自己的孩 子，成为一名优秀的家长。

还

•• 想让孩子学钢琴、英语或者汉语？ 那么，不妨自己也学一下！当孩子看到 父母也在学习新东西时，就会降低对自 己所学东西的排斥感，还能拉近父母与 孩子之间的距离。 •• 让自己也童真一回。在客厅搭个霸 气的枕头堡垒，扮成海盗，开个茶会什 么的。孩子们就喜欢这样的游戏，在他 们看来这才是真正的乐趣。 •• 与孩子分享自己的兴趣爱好。不论 是阅读、编织、建网站，还是其他冷门 爱好，都可以尝试让孩子参与进来。

记得从护士手中接过刚降生的 小生命那一刻吗？孩子清澈眼 眸中折射出的爱，是那么纯真 无邪。正是这种纯真的爱，使我们对人 生有了新的感悟，促使我们不断完善自 己，并将为人父母的使命感铭记于心。 在这种爱面前，任何事物都显得那么微 不足道，我们唯一的目标就是做称职的 父母，伴孩子茁壮成长。仿佛这一刻， 所有的认知都有了新的定义。

•• 从小培养孩子的自理能力。让他们 自己穿衣，自己吃饭，用完后把东西放 回原位。刚开始孩子肯定会不太适应， 当他们逐渐掌握这些能力后你就无需再 操心，同时他们自己也会很有成就感。 当孩子寻求帮助的时候，不能帮他们做 完就草草了事了，而应该教他们怎么 做，并让他们自己完成。

然而，现实是残酷的。忙碌的工 作、复杂的人际关系、家庭责任、多方 面的压力、无奈，还有孩子的粑粑，把 我们压得喘不过气，想成为最完美家长 的愿望也瞬间化为了泡影。

•• 每天给孩子讲讲故事。这不仅能 给孩子良好的文化灌输，还是建立亲子 关系的绝好时机。当然，选故事的时候 也别忘考虑孩子的偏好。她是否喜欢恐 龙？钟情于公主？数不尽的为什么？将 这些关键词在亚马逊中国站中进行搜 索，你就能找到最适合的那本书。

跟大家分享以下十条简单实用的育 儿经验，希望能够帮你缓解一下压力， 即使在最苦恼的时候，也能动力十足。

•• 用微笑和拥抱开始新的一天。一个 灿烂的微笑，再加上一个温暖的拥抱， 没有什么比这些更能表达你对孩子的 爱。沐浴着爱的阳光，每一天将变得更 加精彩。 •• 尝试让孩子做一些自己的选择。比 如，今天想吃香蕉、火龙果还是零食？ 穿这件蓝夹克还是那件绿的？给孩子自 己做决定的机会，这样不但有助于增强 孩子的自信心，也能够减少孩子的叛逆 行为。 •• 让孩子和你一起做饭或者烘焙。没 有哪个孩子不喜欢在厨房打个下手。即 便是很小的孩子，也可以帮着洗洗蔬菜 或者削削水果。四岁大的孩子应该已经 会做称量、加水搅拌或者洗盘子之类的 家务活了。

•• 适当调整一下家居环境。孩子眼中 的成人世界比我们想象的要“高大”得 多，当他们无法适应这种环境的时候， 会觉得很沮丧，长期下去这种感觉会越 来越强烈。在家中放置几样小梯子之类 的东西会给孩子很大的帮助。还可以把 门旁的挂钩安低一点儿，便于他们自己 挂衣服，书也可以摆在矮一点儿的架子 上，并为孩子准备儿童桌椅让他们轻松 自如地用餐或者画画，上述这些都可以 方便孩子的生活，让他们更愿意自己动 手。 •• 辛苦了一天，终于可以休息下了， 不过将孩子哄睡前，别忘了再给他们一 个拥抱，让孩子感受到父母对他们的 爱。用爱来浇灌每一天能使我们更加平 和。 人非圣贤，大人们偶尔也会有些小疏 忽、犯些小错误，不过，请相信，孩子们 依然会全心全意地去爱自己的父母，因为 你们是他们在这个世界上最亲爱的人。

Cultivating the Practice of Gratitude 将感恩付诸行动 There’s plenty to be thankful for this holiday season, and it’s time to show some appreciation. Jen Gallogly discovers that increased levels of gratitude can have a positive impact across all areas of life. 生活中有很多东西都值得我们去感恩，趁着众多 节日的来临，现在是时候表达自己的感激了。Jen Gallogly发现，提高自己的感恩觉悟，可以给生活 的诸多方面带来积极的影响。

F

or people of all continents, harvest festivals are a traditional time for gratitude as people express thanks for nature’s bounty.

These festivals often generate happiness and satisfaction as grateful people eat, drink and play with family and friends. Aside from holidays and habitual politeness, expressing gratitude in action or specific communication may not be a common practice for many. For some, it’s not a tradition that we were raised with.

Others are private people and expressing gratitude can make us feel vulnerable. Whatever the reason, if you are not expressing gratitude regularly, you may be missing out on a simple and free tool to improve your life.

Why? Research by psychologists, like Dr. Robert A. Emmons at University of California – Davis, shows a link between satisfaction and gratitude. Emmons writes that “Grateful people report higher levels of positive

emotions, life satisfaction, vitality, optimism and lower levels of depression and stress.”

This correlation doesn’t prove a cause and effect relationship, especially since people who have higher levels of positive emotions, life satisfaction, vitality etc. are more likely to be grateful. However, when compared to a control group, a group of adults suffering from neuromuscular disease who practiced gratitude for 21 days experienced greater amounts of “high energy positive moods, a greater sense of feeling connected to others, more optimistic ratings of one’s life, and better sleep duration and sleep quality.” This suggests that it was the action of expressing gratitude rather than the situation of the individual that made the difference.

So to benefit your mental state and even physical health here are six methods of expressing gratitude.

Gratitude Letter/Phone Call/Visit Think of someone in your life who had a major impact on you that you’ve never fully thanked. Write them a letter appreciating them for their generosity and assistance. Be as specific as possible. Just doing this part will have you noticing a difference in your happiness, but take it a step further and send the letter or even meet with the person faceto-face and read them the letter.

Expressing your gratitude to them will increase not just your gratitude and happiness, but also that of the person you are grateful for.

Change the Frame We all know that no matter how blessed our lives are things still happen that can put us in a bad mood or have us feeling less than great. This is when focusing on gratitude could have the most impact on us because we are actively creating gratitude from a negative experience.

So when something goes wrong ask yourself these questions? 2 • • • •

have. We then wrote down all the things that we were grateful for and then attached them and the leaves to the branches.

them. Expressing this appreciation publicly makes a difference.

The important part of this exercise is the actual writing of the things you are grateful for so I can also envision this as a ‘gratitude garland.’

You could simply clip or tie pieces of paper to some decorative ribbon and hang it on your wall.

For a long time, we did not say grace before meals. Just starting the practice has connected us to each other and given us a few moments to do nothing except appreciate what we have. As a bonus, pausing encourages us to eat more slowly once we start which helps with digestion as well as prevents over-eating.

Say Grace Before Meals

Keep a Gratitude

For many people, grace is a regular routine. For others this is a “religious” practice and they don’t believe or don’t like to do formally religious activities. However, you neither have to call it grace, nor express your gratitude to God. Instead make this a time for everyone to consider their good fortune and those that have helped

Every day, write down three things that you are grateful for as soon as you wake up or right before you go to bed. This will help you to focus on the positives in your life and even to reframe the negative things in your day. Also if you’re having a bad day you can go to your gratitude journal and literally count your blessings.

What’s good about this?

What can I learn from this?

How can I benefit from this?

Is there something about the situation that I can be grateful for?

This week when someone pushed past me in line the experience helped me see I am grateful for my patience.

When I burned the pumpkin bread I had baked for my son’s international day I had an unexpected opportunity to create a new recipe, pumpkin bread trifle with layers of homemade pumpkin and coconut pudding.

When my husband made fun of the new sweater I bought I was grateful for having a loving husband who feels comfortably expressing himself with me.

‘Thank You’ Day with a Pay It Forward Twist Pick a day a month a when you will be on the lookout for things to be grateful for and then consciously express “thank-you” when people do things that are nice. It could be as simple as saying thank-you when someone holds open a door for you and really meaning it.

Take it a step farther and in appreciation for your own health, wealth and good fortune do something to actively give back to the universe and spread gratitude. Hold the elevator door for someone, give a little extra to the charity of your choice, or buy a warm drink or some food for the homeless person you see on the sidewalk.

在

耕种丰收的时候，世界各地的人都 会举办一些传统的庆祝活动，以此 来感谢大自然的馈赠。大家怀着感 恩的心，和家人好友一起享用美食，激情畅 饮，到处都洋溢着欢乐和满足。除了用庆祝 活动和一些礼节性方式来表达感恩外，人们 似乎不太注重用实际行动或者亲密的交流来 表示感谢。对于部分人来说，可能因为从小 就没有被灌输这种理念。而另一部分人则比 较内敛不善表达。不管出于何种原因，如果 你还没学会用“感恩”这种简单且免费的方 法来改善生活品质的话，何不静下心来读读 此文，或许会让你有新的感悟。 你不禁要问，为什么？心理学家Davis的 研究表明，满足和感恩存在某种联系。加州 大学的Robert A. Emmons博士也做了相关研 究，他写道：“时常感恩的人心态更好，生 活满意度更高，精力充沛，处事不惊，很少 感到压抑和沮丧。” 虽说如此，但这种相关性并不能证明“ 感恩”和“满足”之间的因果关系。情商 高、生活满意度高，精力充沛的人更懂得感 恩。因此，不妨换个角度来看：一群长期受 失眠困扰的人群，经过一个21天的“感恩” 培养过程后，让他们体验到了前所未有的积 极状态，并能更好地融入日常交际圈，更加 乐观地看待生活，睡眠时间和质量都有所提 高。由此看来，个体自身的情况并不重要， 真正起作用的是那些表达感恩的行动。 下面六种表达感恩的方法对你的身心健 康会有一定帮助。 感谢信/电话/拜访 想一下自己有没有一直没来得及好好感 谢的大恩人。不妨给他们写封感谢信，来表 达对他们慷慨解囊或倾情相助的感激。不过 切忌假大空，实实在在才是真。在写信的过 程中你就会感受到它带给你的快乐，但是光 写是不够的，仍需再多跨一步，把信寄到他 们手中，甚至可以当面读给他们听。用这种 方式来表达感谢，不仅让自己的生活更加幸 福，还可以将这份正能量传递给你所感谢的 人。

这个活动的精髓在于，把所要感恩的事 写下来，我把它视为“编织感恩的花环”。 你可以简单地用彩带把纸片串起来，再把它 们挂到墙上。 餐前祷告 对许多人来说，餐前祷告已成为了一种 习惯。而另一些人对待这种宗教习俗的态度 则截然不同，他们既不相信也不愿遵循。其 实，你大可不必把它视为祷告，也不用感谢

Grateful people report higher levels of positive emotions, life satisfaction, vitality, optimism and lower levels of depression and stress.

时常感恩的人心态更好， 生活满意度更高，精力充 沛，处事不惊，很少感到 压抑和沮丧。

上帝。把它当成重温幸福时刻，向给予你帮 助的人致谢的机会多好。相比之下，用言语 表达感恩的意义是将其默默藏于心中所无法 比拟的。 曾经有很长一段时间，我们家都没有 进行餐前祷告。尝试这种新型祷告方式不多 久，就发现家人之间的关系更亲密了，大家

停下碗筷，静静地聆听各自对生活收获的感 恩。此外还有一个额外的效果，这个短暂的 环节放慢了原来的用餐速度，不但有助于消 化，还可以避免吃得过饱。 写感恩日记 每天一起床或者临睡前，写下三件让你 心存感激的事。这样可以让你保持积极的心 态，从另一个角度来看待生活中不如意的事 情。当你过得很糟糕的时候，也可以翻开感 恩日记，回忆自己写下的点点滴滴，从中得 到一些慰藉。 改变自己看待事物的方式 众所周知，无论自己如何心存感激，生 活总是有起有伏。但如果你懂得感恩的话， 就会用乐观的心态来看待消极的事物。 当遇事不顺的时候，不妨问一下自己如 下问题？  有好的方面吗？  能从中学到什么？  可以收获什么？  有没有什么值得我感恩的地方？ 这个星期当别人从我身边挤过去的时 候，我并没有选择生气，而是为自己比别人 更有耐心而感恩。当我烤糊了为孩子万圣 节准备的南瓜面包时，意外地自创了南瓜蛋 糕，夹层里铺着自制南瓜和椰奶布丁。当丈 夫吐槽自己刚买的毛衣时，我为有这样一位 能毫无忌惮向我敞开心扉的丈夫儿而感恩。 设定感恩日，用行动传递正能量 每月选一天定为自己的感恩日，当别人 所做的事值得你感恩的话，真心真意地跟他 们道个“谢谢”。哪怕只是当别人帮你扶着 门的时候，诚恳地说一句谢谢。 同时我们也应该为自己健康的身体、富 足的生活、好彩的运气而感恩，并把这股正 能量传递下去。帮别人扶一下电梯门，为慈 善出一份力，或者给街头的流浪者送一杯热 饮或一顿饱饭

感恩树 这个全家参与的活 动，既充满乐趣又颇具意 义，也许会成为家庭聚会 中又一项新传统。 骑车出行或者与孩 子们外出散步的时候，可 以捡一些树枝和叶子来制 1

Adjusting Together

on this. Excitement, anticipation, resentment and fear are some emotions they will feel. If you feel your child is old enough to be part of the family discussions then include them from the start. Be open about the fact that the new home, new school and new food and so on will all be different but will not remain strange.

As you walk around different properties as potential homes - imagine how you would be comfortable there.

As you walk around the potential school - imagine how your child would feel comfortable there.

Being a family, with success, in Qingdao Cathy Ben-David

W

hether you plan to be in China for a short period of time or a few years, it is important to be prepared. For many of us it is an unexpected opportunity brought about through work relocation, one that was not foreseen earlier. Many of us arrive fresh from our homelands with no awareness of the language or cultural differences. If you are coming to China as a family then it is not just your welfare that matters, your spouse and children become an integral part of the success rating of the experience.

So, what are the key points to bear in mind? What are the main areas for concern for the members of your family? How can you help to make it a colourful and worthwhile experience?

Statistics prove that the majority of those holding the work permit are men; therefore statistics prove that the majority of ‘dependent’ spouses are wives. The family is very much

part of the success story; in my experience and time in Qingdao, the family becomes the root of the success or failure. So, how can you turn your duration in Qingdao to benefit all the members of your family? How do you hand them a fruitful experience?

Let’s assume that your company or place of work is assisting you on the necessary introduction of how to understand social dynamics, group dynamics, etiquette, how to greet a person, exchanging business cards, social status and hierarchy together with the important general concepts of working in China. Let’s assume that you have a bilingual PA or team of English-speaking staff. Let’s assume you have found a place to call home for the duration of your time in Qingdao – you wave goodbye to your spouse and children one morning and set off for the new challenges of your posting. Things appear to be settling down.

Avoid Spouse Isolation I would encourage immediate contact with others to build confidence in what you are doing and where you are now living.

• Learn some useful Chinese phrases or learn from your children as they learn the language at school; empower them to teach you!

• Check the REDSTAR magazine for relevant articles and places to visit; get out, become aware of your surroundings, walk the streets to get your bearings.

• Do the groundwork in the week to find places for your family to see together at the weekend.

• Make contact with Qingdao Expat Community via www.qingdaoexpat.com, look out for the Qingdao Expat Magazine at major hotels, or contact directly at qingdaoexpat@yahoo.com.

• Check to see what activities and social gatherings are happening in the foreign community. Even if it is not exactly what you would be doing ‘back home’, make the effort to go anyway and start the connection with people.

• Make contact with the Parent Organisation of the school where your children attend; these mums can receive you with a wonderful welcome and will be keen to answer any questions. At YCIS, new parents receive a personal welcome in the Parent Organisation Newsletter and are connected with the homeroom mum. Join them for the planned lunches or ask to meet for a coffee. Remember, at your child’s school the social network is there to support you.

• Get involved as a volunteer at your child’s school; use your school contact person and Parent Organisation to help make your time and talents very worthwhile.

Social events for the family are organised in the community through the above sources, such as the Easter Party, Annual Welcome BBQ in September, Halloween Party, walks, beach BBQs, playgroups, and trips

to the mountains. There are also a number of major fund raising events through the year, though these are adult-attended.

how can you turn your duration in Qingdao to benefit all the members of your family?

Avoiding Disorientation Always bear in mind that you can not re-create all that you had back in your home country. Try to maintain realistic expectations; if you were lucky enough to be offered a pre-location visit then be very observant and ask lots of questions to build up the right expectations. Find something that holds your interest and reminds you of who you are. Sit and talk with the contact person of the school. Once you feel your child is safe and secure at school, this will alleviate any stress you may be having over the relocation and settling down period.

Impact on Your Children Children approach the relocation in different ways and age plays heavily

Benefits for Your Children Whilst in Qingdao You are able to give a wonderful gift to your child; a gift that perhaps your generation never dreamt about. The gift is being able to experience the whole world whilst in Qingdao. Your child now has the fortune to carry his own background and be immersed in the eastern world; an opportunity to absorb and comprehend the people, the culture and language of the future. This blend results in a global young person, with widened horizons and a flexible aptitude.

Treat the learning of the language as a game at first; play ‘I spy with my little eye…’ using a chosen Chinese character when out and about, looking at the written signs. Make the initial stages of speaking the new language as a fun part of going out, until they naturally become more confident; the bilingual development of a child’s brain is a gift. To witness a child drift effortlessly between languages will fill any parent with pride.

Make the most of this opportunity to widen your child’s visions; cultural and racial acceptance are crucial parts of good development. Choose a school that is going to encourage full embracement of all global citizens and show cultural respect.
