The Internet can provide a wealth of educational resources for small children, if you know where to look.

Enchanted Learning

Enchanted learning is a great website for children, and I know several teachers who rely on it for materials for

their classrooms. Most of the information is free, but for $ 20.00 per year, you can purchase a membership that

allows you to have access to the site without the advertising. The pages here are great. There are color1 ed pages

and worksheets for toddlers (学步儿童) and school-age children.

Starfall

Starfall is another good educational website for small children. Teachers often use this website in classrooms.

It emphasizes reading skills for early learners. The website is aimed at first-grade-level learners, but it has tools

that can help all children from pre-K to second grade. The website has reading activities, worksheets to download,

and a store where you can purchase educational materials for your children.

Sesame Street Workshop

Kids loveSesame Street, and it is always educational. This is one of the funniest websites online for children

because it is very well animated and has great sound effects. The website has games and stories for small kids, and

they can create letters at the post office and mail them to their favorite characters.

“Heavy hearts, like heavy clouds in the sky, are best relieved by the letting of a little water, the French writer

Antoine de Rivarol wrote. This love letter to the cleansing beauty of a good cry is a comforting thought at atime

when the continuing stress of the COVID-19 has added heaviness to each of our lives.

Scientifically, de Rivarol's poetic image doesn't, if you'll forgive the words used in the poem, hold water.

There's limited research on crying, partly because of the difficulty of copying the behavior of real crying in a lab.

But even within the previous studies, there's little evidence to suggest that crying provides a physiological

cleansing of poisons in people's body.

Psychologists believe the relief of a good cry connects with a different emotional process. “It seems that

crying occurs just after the peak of the emotional experience, and crying is associated with this return to

homeostasis: the process of maintaining a stable psychological state,” said Lauren Bylsma. He also said holding

back tears can have negative physical consequences, including headaches and muscle tension. Such restriction can

also limit our experiences of joy, gratitude and other positive emotions if we avoid acknowledging our feelings.

For me crying has been easier said than done during the COVID-19. Psychologists say it's normal to feel

stopped up by the stresses of the past year. We should find opportunities to release and process our emotions.

Watching a tear-jerking movie, having an emotional conversation with a close friend, and writing in a journal

are healthy ways toelicita cry. Physical activity like light-footed walking or even dancing can also signal our bodies

to release some emotional tightness. We can then open up to the flow of feelings that leave us feeling lighter and

refreshed—like a clear sky after a soaking rain.
