Food is the basic means of subsistence for human beings, and it is everyone's responsibility to save food. In family education, how to cultivate children's awareness of saving food is an important task. This paper will introduce how to cultivate children's awareness of saving food from three aspects.

teach by precept and example

Parents need to establish a correct concept of food, starting from small things, such as eating in moderation and leaving no food. This habit will subtly affect children and let them learn to cherish food.

Strictly abide by the reward and punishment system.

Work with children to formulate reward and punishment rules for saving food. If it is wasted, you need to take on extra housework, such as going to amusement parks less or taking less toys you like. Once the rules are made, they must be strictly enforced.

deepen one's understanding

If possible, guide children to watch videos about grain planting, or visit farmland on the spot, so that they can experience the preciousness of grain and the hard-won production.
