Helping your child choose a hobby is very good for him or her. They can learn a lot when they are enjoying themselves. Here are some tips that may help.

　　Match your child’s interests. If she likes to cook, buy her a cookbook. If he likes collecting baseball cards, buy him a special scrapbook. Show them your interests and support their interests.

　　Try different hobbies. Introduce(介绍) a new hobby as a birthday or a holiday gift. In trying something quite different, your child may become interested in it or at least get to know a new thing.

　　Share(共享) a hobby with your child. Take an art class as a family. Go for a mountain climbing together. Spending family time doing fun things can make a healthy and nice relationship(关系).

　　Don’t push your interests to your child. Let children choose(选择) their own(自己的)interests though you can always introduce them to new one. Don’t show your unhappiness when they choose something different from what you think of.

　　Hobbies are a great way for children to learn new things. Help your children to try different interests until they choose one they want to learn more about.
