有小孩，又要待在家防疫時怎麼辦？！
除了平常小孩會玩的東西，像是樂高積木、畫畫、拼圖、看書等，這裡也有一些我們為了保持’’家庭和諧’’會跟Egan玩的事情，提供給你們參考囉！
Including a lot of the “normal” kid things we do like play with legos, draw, puzzles, read books, etc… here are a couple things we’ve been doing to keep busy and sane at home.
-煮飯：
小孩很喜歡假裝煮飯，也很喜歡在廚房玩，所以就真的讓他們 (在你的注意力底下) 跟你們一起下廚玩。我會讓Egan幫忙洗菜、洗水果，然後在旁邊陪我切菜、炒菜，我們也會讓他醃食材，因為鹽巴多一點點少一點點其實沒有太大的關係，所以我會真的讓Egan拿他要的調味料放進去一個大碗裡面，然後他會用手指或是湯匙來攪拌均勻，最後我們會把肉或是海鮮放進去碗裡面讓他去按摩，把他的’’特製醬料’’全部都按摩進去食材裡面。
Cooking 101.
Kids love to play in the kitchen, so I will let Egan wash all of our veggies and fruits while I do the more adult stuff like chopping and frying. We also let him marinate our meats and seafood. Since it is OK if there is a little less or more salt/pepper/spices/oil, we let him actually shake the contents into a big bowl and then mix it up with his fingers or a spoon. And then we put the meat into his mixture (you may need to help a bit) and he can massage the seasoning into our meats.
記得要提醒小孩，醃完肉的手不能碰其他的東西，也不能偷吃喔。(因為雙手已經摸過生的肉)
Note: Make sure to constantly remind them that they can’t touch anything while they’re dealing with raw meats. And definitely no taste testing yet!
煮好放上桌的時候， 也可以大聲的宣布這道菜是小孩一起幫忙做的。他們會很驕傲也會很有成就感。
Bonus: When the food is actually cooked, tell everybody that your toddler is the sous-chef and helped with the cooking. It teaches them about their contributions and small achievements.
-喝咖啡，很多很多咖啡：
喔！不好意思，這個不是要跟小孩做的，這個是維持大人理智用的，避免我們瘋掉。
Drink coffee. Lots and lots of coffee.
Oh sorry - that’s not something to do with the kids. That’s just for the parents to keep our sanity.
