Dear Parents,
Joud has introduced us to her family and friends, and told us what she likes to do with each person. Through this story, we learn that little Joud, like every child, has different social roles; on the one hand she is a daughter and a sister, and on the other hand she is a granddaughter and a friend. Joud enjoys each role, gaining skills and knowledge from different people. Isn't that amazing, as she says?
We would suggest a few activities related to the book which you may enjoy doing with your child:
Family Activities
- Chat about close family and more distant relatives: what are their names, what do they do, and where do they live?
- Joud shares with family members, activity that she likes, such as going with her parents to their work place, baking cakes with her grandmother, etc. Talk with your child about what he/she likes to do with every member of the family.
- Our child’s relation with siblings, is often a mixture of joy and fun on the one hand, and regular squabbling on the other hand. Talk to your child about the challenges entailed in relations with siblings. These talks can emotionally support your child, and encourage him/her to find ways to decrease the intensity between them.
- Who are our friends, and what we like to do with them?
- The family tree: we can draw with our children a family tree with their photographs of family members. Children will surely enjoy photographing the family members! Maybe we can make together a family or friends book, giving each member a whole page for pictures, drawings and to write some things that we like about him/her. After that, we can think of giving a different name for the book: I am....?
المربّية العزيزة،
يتميّز عمر الثالثة والرّابعة بمحاولات الطّفل الحثيثة للاستقلال عن والديه، بدءًا بانشغاله بتنمية مهاراته الجسديّة والعاطفية والذّهنيّة، ومرورًا ببناء هويّته الاجتماعيّة. ما زالت عائلة الطفل المصّغرة مرجعه الاجتماعي الأوّل، لكنّ دائرة اهتمامه بالنّاس من حوله وعلاقته بهم تأخذ في الاتّساع. الطّفلة "جود" في كتاب "أنا مدهشة" تتفحّص علاقاتها مع أفراد أسرتها ومع أصدقائها من منظار ما تحبّ أن تفعله مع كلّ واحد منهم، وفي ذلك تعزيز إيجابي لأهميّة العائلة في حياة الطّفل. الجميل في الكتاب أيضًا هو الاهتمام الذي يوليه أفراد العائلة لجود، ودعوتهم لها للمشاركة في نشاط حياتي يقوم به كلّ منهم؛ فالأب يصطحبها معه إلى ورشة البناء ويشتري لها البوظة، والأم تصطحبها إلى عيادتها وتقرأ لها قصّة في البيت قبل أن تنام، والجدّة تُشركها في صناعة الكعك.
