Now there is a phenomenon that some primary and middle school students, even college students, have poor self-care ability, and all walks of life have gradually paid attention to it. However, we should not just accuse children of poor hands-on ability and laziness, which leads to this phenomenon, and parents of children should bear a large part of the responsibility. Children's labor consciousness needs to be cultivated from an early age, but some parents do everything well for their children, take care of them too much, and don't give them the opportunity to operate themselves. In fact, within a certain range, we should give children the opportunity to work and cultivate their ability to do things. You should know that the main job of parents is to cultivate their children's work habits and independent ability, not to help them do everything well.

When children are very young, their abilities are weak and they need the help of their parents. However, in the process of children's growth, parents should gradually let their children do appropriate labor instead of doing it by themselves, which makes them unable to develop their self-care ability, highly dependent, just taking it away and lacking a sense of responsibility. Moreover, after a long-term follow-up investigation, some psychologists found that compared with children who don't like labor, the unemployment rate and crime rate of children after growing up are 1: 15 and 1: 10 respectively. It can be seen that children who love labor are not spicy.

Children who love labor have different life skills and moral qualities in the future. Therefore, family labor education is essential. Parents should master methods, correctly guide their children, and let them form the habit of loving labor and form an independent consciousness.

First of all, parents should accept the concept of family labor education, realize the inevitability of labor education, and know the important significance of labor education to children's development. Many parents have wrong ideas about their children's education. They will say to their children, "just study hard and don't worry about anything at home." In this way, children will take it for granted that learning is his business, while housework is the business of parents. It can be seen that it is not that the child is unwilling to do housework, but that he is deprived of the opportunity to do housework. It is necessary to abandon wrong ideas, consciously let children participate in housework, and cultivate his habit of loving labor. The importance of labor education to children's development is reflected in the following aspects:

1. Correct labor education can promote children's health and enhance their physique;

2. Correct labor education can make children gradually independent and reduce their dependence on their parents;

3. Correct labor education is also of positive significance to the cultivation of children's moral quality. Children will take the initiative to help their parents reduce their burden and extend their willingness to help others.

Secondly, parents should understand the different characteristics of children at different stages of development, so as to "teach students in accordance with their aptitude" and give different labor contents. When the child is still a baby, it is obvious that it can do nothing. What it needs is careful care and care, as well as certain edification; If the child is older, it is necessary to properly help the child learn to dress himself, wash his face and brush his teeth, eat independently and organize toys; When you are older, you can let your child clean up the sundries, help your parents put the dishes and chopsticks, clean up and so on. After entering school, children should not be allowed to regard the task of school as the only one and ignore the work at home. Children should be allowed to take the initiative to take on some families.

Service, in addition to cleaning up your own house, you can also share some labor with your parents, such as cleaning. It should be noted that the tasks assigned to children should not be too specific and simple. In that case, children will only exercise and consume physical strength, and have no other effect. Makarenko once said, "The more complicated and autonomous the labor task, the more beneficial it is to education." For example, when we need a child to clean his room, we just give him a broom to sweep the floor. This is not a good practice. A better way is to let the child keep the room clean, and how he keeps it, which requires the child to solve it himself and be responsible for it himself. Finally, the labor education for children should also follow certain principles.
