Your 2-year-old now
He can't read a watch yet, but your preschooler does have a rudimentary sense of time. He knows that yesterday means the past and tomorrow means the future, but to him, yesterday might refer to something that happened earlier this morning or last week.
他还不能认识钟表上的时间，但是你这个月龄大的孩子对时间有基本的感觉。他知道昨天意味着过去，明天意味着未来，但对他来说，昨天的事情，可能是指今天早上发生的事情，也可能是指上周发生的事情。
The way your child marks time is largely through the predictable way his day unfolds. That's another reason (in addition to providing basic security) that routines continue to be so important. He knows that when you go into the kitchen it's almost time for lunch, and that after lunch he'll be at the playground and then take a nap.
你的孩子认知时间的方式，很大程度上取决于他一天中可预测的生活常规。这是生活常规仍然如此重要的另一个原因（除了生活常规能提供给孩子基本的安全感之外）。他知道当你走进厨房，意味着就快到吃午饭的时间了，然后，吃完午饭，他就会在外面的游乐场地玩耍一会儿，然后打个盹。
Use references to time in your conversation: "In five minutes, we'll leave." "We'll go to the store right after lunch." "After two more bedtimes, we'll leave for our trip." Although your preschooler won't exactly understand these time frames the same way you do – that ability doesn't come until second or third grade – you'll be helping him get used to the concepts.
你可以在和孩子的对话中提及时间的概念：“五分钟后，我们就离开。”、“我们一吃完午饭就去商店。”、“再睡两个晚上，我们就动身去旅行。”，虽然你这个月龄大的孩子不会像你一样准确理解这些时间的尺度——这种能力直到小学二年级或三年级才会出现——但在对话中提及时间会帮助他熟悉这些概念。
Your life now
Are you finding that your preschooler seems to get dirtier than ever? Mobile and curious, your child finds plenty to get into. Now's a good time to teach proper hand-washing. Make a habit of doing so before every meal; bring a step stool to the sink to help your child reach the faucet. Bar soap can be easier for small, plump hands to use than a pump bottle. Sing a special hand-washing song that lasts at least 20 or 30 seconds while sudsing up to be sure your child cleans up long enough.
你是否发现你这个月龄大的孩子比以前搞得更脏兮兮的? 好动和好奇，你的孩子发现很多事情可以搞一搞。现在是教孩子用正确方法洗手的好时机。养成饭前洗手的习惯；带一个凳子到洗手池旁边，帮助孩子够到水龙头。对于胖乎乎的小手来说，条形肥皂比奶瓶更容易使用。当孩子的小手涂满肥皂泡沫的时候，唱一首至少持续20或30秒的洗手歌，以确保你的孩子洗手的时间足够长。
