Some time ago, my family organized a general cleaning. This time, I asked my children to clean the room by themselves. However, we usually don't instill the concept of labor in our children, and he doesn't do any housework. In the end, instead of cleaning the room, they became more and more chaotic, and their hands-on ability was not as good as that of other children of the same age.
From this incident, we let the child develop the habit of cleaning every day and instill the concept of labor in the child, which not only changed his practical ability, but also affected all aspects of him.
With the development of economy, more and more families are marrying late and having children late, and they are all only children. Therefore, most of our common families of three, or five, are adults, and children have become the focus of the family.
Parents, out of doting psychology, naturally take all the housework on themselves and don't let their children do it. In fact, the living conditions are good, and the children have become the treasures of the family. Unlike in previous years, children still have to go out to herd cattle and help harvest crops.
Moreover, the concept and focus of family parenting have also changed, so many children have not developed the habit of doing housework at all, because of the lack of labor education.
For children, if they learn to do housework, they will become a person who respects labor. Many children don't have the habit of doing housework, so they don't have the concept of labor at all. They just litter outside because they don't know whether they can take the garbage away or how troublesome it is for others to deal with it.
Therefore, in housework, children not only have hands-on ability, but also know how to respect others, understand the difficulty of labor, and become more passionate about labor.
Therefore, parents can't ignore their children's labor education. They must let their children learn to work, let them understand and respect labor, and finally gain the respect of others.
1, give children labor opportunities
Parents dote on their children and are unwilling to let them participate in any labor projects, hoping that their children can grow up happily. These starting points are understandable, but our ideas will only harm children and make them become people who don't understand labor.
Letting children work does not mean that children need to meet the same standards as adults. We only pay attention to the process of labor and don't care much about the results of labor. Let children work in order to exercise their hands-on ability and gain respect for labor.
So, don't do everything. Sometimes we should learn to show weakness and give our children a chance to work. Even if the child's movements are not standard, it is most important to pay attention to the process experience.
Step 2 set an example
There is also a kind of parents who like to arrange their children's work, but they do nothing. Usually there is garbage at home, so arrange the children to take out the garbage directly. The family needs to sweep the floor and plaster, and also assign tasks directly to the children.
These people always think that giving children exercise can improve their hands-on ability, but our method is wrong. If parents don't give their children a correct demonstration, the children don't know what to do, and there will be a kind of resistance in their hearts.
Therefore, we want children to participate in housework, not to let them explore by themselves, but to take them with them. First of all, parents need to set an example for their children and then influence them with their own actions.
Step 3 use games
Housework is not necessarily boring, we can make children happy in housework, thus stimulating the secretion of dopamine in their brains, thus strengthening labor behavior.
At home, children can be organized to participate in labor games, and dust can be regarded as small monsters in the form of games, and a game to eliminate monsters can be organized. Let children feel different fun when doing housework, which can attract children to join the workforce more than traditional cleaning methods.
In addition to the corresponding games, we can also use some rewards. When a child finishes housework, it is equivalent to a game break. Every time they break through a level, they can get a new task and reward support.
In addition, we need to encourage children to do it. Playing games will only increase children's interest in doing housework. The key lies in the encouragement and support of parents, which can strengthen children's behavior.
Labor education is an aspect that many parents have been ignoring. For children, labor is not difficult. The hardest thing is not knowing how to start working.
