Cultivating children to love labor from an early age can make them form a good habit of loving labor and understand that a happy life depends on labor; Children love labor and can know how to cherish the fruits of others' labor and public property.

Cultivating children's love of labor from an early age can make children form a good habit of loving labor and understand that a happy life depends on labor; If children love labor, they can respect the working people, know how to cherish the fruits of others' labor and care for public property; Only by loving labor can children cultivate good ideology and morality, and develop good qualities of diligence, simplicity, love for the collective, respect for others, hard work and modesty. Only when children love labor can they experience the success and happiness of creation and learn to invent and innovate.

A newspaper reported that a district in Shanghai selected outstanding students and selected 17 candidates from 28,000 middle school students. However, when these "excellent" middle school students walked past the entrance of the examination room, the testers deliberately threw brooms and rags at the door, but no one paid attention.

Another large-scale survey of thousands of people also shows that some children think that labor is unnecessary. Among them, some children have no working habits, and some children don't know how to work.

The Chinese nation is an industrious nation with the traditional virtue of loving labor and the excellent spirit of hard work. But how can children be like this now? It should be noted that things happen to children, and the problem lies with adults, especially many parents, who ignore the cultivation of children's correct labor concepts and habits.

At present, in family education, there are three main problems in labor education.

First, the educational objectives and contents are misplaced.

Nowadays, many parents only regard intellectual development as the center of children's growth and family education. In most cases, our parents pay attention to their children's study first, food and clothing second, disobedience third, and basically ignore others.

Most of the needs of teenagers' all-round development have not been well met in our education system. This one-sided guidance and concern for children's development is a major problem in our youth education and a blind spot in current family education.

In fact, labor is decisive for the growth of a child. After more than 20 years of follow-up research, scholars at Harvard University in the United States found that when children who love to work grow up, the unemployment rate is 1 to 15 and the crime rate is 1 to 10.

Second, there are misunderstandings in the concepts and methods of education.

Some parents have a one-sided understanding of their children's love, and always think that letting their children enjoy the best material life is the greatest love for their children, and naturally they will not let their children bear any labor and responsibility.

I don't know that this kind of love will often push children to ignorance and uselessness. The child not only lacks labor skills, but also has no sense of responsibility and doesn't know how to care about others. "Love" has become the biggest harm to children.

Third, parents' wrong view of labor affects children.

Some parents say to their children all day: "If you don't study hard, you will be allowed to sweep the road!" " "or:" Look at the big brother next door, he works hard every day, but he didn't study hard when he was a child! " "

These seemingly casual words of "encouragement" convey contempt for ordinary labor and its workers, and misunderstand most labor, especially manual labor. In the long run, children are bound to form wrong ideas, and it is impossible to have the idea of respecting working people and working people.

To improve domestic labor education, we should solve three problems.

The first is to improve the understanding of the important educational function of labor education. Parents should establish a correct concept of labor education and fully realize that labor is one of the main means for children to know the world.

Cultivating children's love of labor from an early age can make children form a good habit of loving labor and understand that a happy life depends on labor; If children love labor, they can respect the working people, know how to cherish the fruits of others' labor and care for public property; Only by loving labor can children cultivate good ideology and morality, and develop good qualities of diligence, simplicity, love for the collective, respect for others, hard work and modesty. Only when children love labor can they experience the success and happiness of creation and learn to invent and innovate.

In short, parents need to pay special attention to the important role of labor education in children's social development and consciously strengthen and improve family labor education.

Second, we should make clear the rich contents of family labor education. Some parents simplify labor education to oral preaching, and let their children do two manual jobs when they have the opportunity, ignoring the rich connotation of labor education. The result is useless and ineffective. Family labor education should grasp rich contents and educate children in many ways. First, the education of labor concept; The second is to educate children to love labor and cultivate their working habits; The third is to cultivate children's labor quality; Fourth, improve labor skills; The fifth is to closely integrate labor education with children's daily life and guide children to establish a correct consumption concept.

Third, we should pay attention to methods. Today, there are many problems in the external environment faced by family labor education, such as the great pressure of most children's study and the serious shortage of school labor practice; The social atmosphere of belittling labor and working people has increased from time to time, and the utilitarian road to success in life has influenced many parents; The material living conditions of the only child in the family are too superior, and quite a few children lack labor experience in their childhood. These problems have formed resistance to family labor education. Therefore, family labor education must be based on reform and innovation and pay attention to methods. First, start with housework; Second, parents should set an example; The third is to encourage children's good performance in labor in time; The fourth is to use money carefully as a reward; Fifth, don't use housework as a means to punish children; Sixth, put the cultivation of various labor qualities in children's daily education; Seventh, we should guide and actively participate in public welfare labor and productive labor inside and outside the school; Eighth, step by step, different age groups should have different requirements.

Labor, for anyone, is the foundation of survival. A responsible parent will not neglect the labor education for their children.

Several keys of family labor education;

(1) Parents should guide their children to form a correct understanding of labor. Only the division of labor is different, there is no distinction between high and low.

(2) Help children to make a daily worksheet, which lists the tasks that children should complete.

(3) Arrange some tasks for children to serve the family, such as cleaning the room and washing clothes.

(4) Give appropriate rewards or appreciation to children after they have completed their labor tasks.

(5) Flexible handling of tasks assigned to children; Set a time frame and let the children decide the implementation process by themselves.
