The biggest feature of preschool children is imitation, imitating and observing adults' words and deeds from the surrounding environment. Therefore, adults at home should consistently show their children what they should do at the dinner table.
On the basis of showing the proper manners on the dining table to children, we insist on strengthening their ideas through gentle and interesting reminders, such as washing hands before meals, using tableware correctly, not knocking on tableware, not making noise, etc. With the growth of children's age, whether it is the coordination of movements, the ability to speak, or the ability to understand things, parents can put forward more requirements, including: asking children to reduce rice grains and vegetable scraps from falling out of the bowl; Let the children clear the table and wipe their mouths after dinner.
2. Do a good job of "prevention"
Before going out, explain the requirements to the children, such as not to make any noise in the restaurant. If you wait for a long time before eating, you can show them around and see the furnishings or environment around the restaurant, so that children can have a little fun. Prepare some toys for your child that won't disturb others, and take them out for him to play before eating or before the end of dinner, so as to prevent the child from getting bored and running around. Picture books are one of the most convenient and suitable toys. When eating, don't feed the child at once, eat at the same speed as adults, otherwise the child will be full of energy and it will be difficult to sit still.
3. Details of routine training
When parents take their children to restaurants and other public places, they should familiarize their children with the basic table manners in public places, try their best to explain the reasons for observing table manners, and cultivate their children to consciously abide by table manners. When eating at home, you should always remind, train and urge, including eating well, not talking much and not eating with chopsticks until your elders arrive.
In short, teach children to learn these table manners, and mom and dad can take them out with confidence! Your children will be loved by grandma and uncle, and relatives and friends will praise them hard!
