Ivy set her baby cactus in the window of her new bedroom. “Were a long way from Arizona， Sam，” she said.

“Who are you talking to？”asked Ivys older sister， Holly.

“My cactus，” said Ivy. “We miss our old house.”

“Me too，” said Holly. “Im glad I took pictures before we left. Come and have a look.”

“Theres Moms cactus garden！ And those funny little quails！”

“Why did we have to move？” Ivy said， sighing.

“You know that Dad is in the air force，” said Holly.

“We move wherever his job is. We moved once， before you were born.”

亲子阅读小提示

很多人都有过搬家的经历。对于成人来说，搬家可能意味着更大的居住空间、更好的工作环境。然而，孩子在成长过程中需要熟悉的环境和良好的人际关系来建立安全感和自我意识。频繁搬家有时会影响到孩子的学习以及社交能力和行为发展。离开老地方，融入新环境，需要家长细心引导，充分给予安全感和鼓励，帮助孩子逐渐适应新环境。
