    这一年龄段的孩子大多都上小学了,父母亲再忙,每一天,一定都要细心观察孩子的变化,了解在学校的活动,并细心检查作业,一定要帮助孩子在优等生行列.

    Children at this age are attending primary school. No matter how parents are busy in working, must observe the children’s change and know their school activities, and check their homework carefully every day, to help them in the ranks of excellence.
