At the end of the year and the beginning of the year, although it is impossible to have a large-scale dinner due to the epidemic, it is inevitable to take the children to eat together when visiting relatives and friends. Children's performance at the dinner table is closely related to family education. Children who don't know table manners often give their parents a "headache" and also bring trouble to others.

There was a video on the Internet the other day. In a banquet room, people were eating around the table when a plate of pig's head was brought. Without saying anything, a child put chopsticks on the meat and put the whole plate of meat on his plate. The parents around them joked with him when they saw that they had not come forward to discipline them.

The netizen commented below: Life is good, education is gone.

Now the living conditions are getting better and better. Parents cook food for their children in different ways every day, but the etiquette of eating is often forgotten.

"Dining table education"

For children, this is a valuable intangible asset.

Between a cup of tea and a meal is the most authentic family education, and many far-sighted parents have realized the importance of "table manners".

I remember watching a talk show. The friend and owner of actor Hong Tao Jr. said: "The rules of eating in their home Xu Xiaobao are covered with a piece of paper!" Later, Hong Tao also listed some, such as: no talking while eating; Do not evaluate the quality of food; Eating can't be wasted. Not only that, she said that she and her husband Xu zhēng would be strict with themselves.

In the program "Children's Words Without a Plan", Cherrie Ying shared his family's table education: don't waste food; Don't transfer all the dishes to the children, let them eat first; Home is not a restaurant. Eat whatever you have. ......

Dani thinks that Cherrie Ying has set too many rules for children. Cherrie Ying directly replied: "This is not too many rules, this is basic etiquette."

The details on the dining table reflect a child's growth process. The dining table is an indispensable scene in our life. This is also a time to show personal qualities at the dinner table by connecting feelings and developing relationships. Therefore, developing good dining etiquette is an important prerequisite for children to have good interpersonal relationships after entering the society in the future.

Dining table trivia

There is a big problem behind it.

Children play with food and throw tableware on the dining table. Parents should not always think that the baby is too young to be sensible and does not need intervention. He will be fine when he grows up. In the long run, children will have no sense of rules. Even if the child is only 10 months old, if he is carried off the table every time he starts throwing food, he will realize that it is not allowed at the table after several times.

Some children need parents to coax, chase and watch cartoons before eating, which seems trivial, but they lose a good opportunity to cultivate their sense of responsibility. Eating independently is the first step for a baby to live independently.

There are also many children who become "food bloggers" as soon as they go to the table and are very picky about food. The implicit behavior of casually commenting on meals is ingratitude and taking everything for granted. The fault lies not in children, but in parents' education.

Many parents, especially the elderly at home, put dishes directly in front of their children, which is a "preference" for their babies. Over time, children will develop the habit of "eating alone".

As the saying goes, "sit and sit, eat and eat" is not only a matter of etiquette, but also related to the safety and health of children.

There was a news before that a little girl of 1.5 years old in Wuhan accidentally fell down because she was eating while walking and playing. Chopsticks were inserted into her mouth, deep into her skull and 2 cm into her cerebellum. Fortunately, after the rescue, he was finally out of danger.

How should parents cultivate children's table manners?

3-6 years old is the golden age of children's character formation. At the age of 3, the child has formed his own self-awareness and his own expressive ability. They can communicate well with their parents and seize this golden age to give them correct guidance. Every detail on the dining table is a good opportunity for parents to educate their children.

1. Treat "Xiong Haizi" with a tougher attitude.

If children get up and leave without a few bites, or "make trouble" at the dinner table, parents may wish to be tough and take the food away directly. Never try to chase the child. Hey. When a child is hungry, you can say to him, "You are hungry because you didn't eat well just now. I can only wait until the next meal. " After several such experiences, children will gradually get rid of some bad habits at the dinner table.

It is very important for parents to set an example.

There is no need to get angry when children behave "unruly" at the dinner table. Whether it is an adult's joking laughter or a harsh sermon, as long as he responds, the child will think that this is everyone's encouragement to his behavior and will make the "table farce" worse.

Table manners need to be cultivated and learned slowly. Parents' words and deeds are very important. If children see adults laughing, throwing food and banging on the table, they may learn to do so immediately. Of course, if the child behaves well at the dinner table one day, don't forget to praise him in time

It is very important to create an atmosphere for children to eat independently.

Children should be provided with a good dining environment, and a suitable baby dining chair can be prepared for him, so that he can eat at the table with adults from an early age. In order to increase your baby's appetite, you can prepare soft, chewy, crisp and brightly colored food and encourage your child to eat independently.

If the baby eats by himself, it will get dirty everywhere. It is suggested to lay a garbage bag or plastic tablecloth under the high chair, which will be much more convenient to clean up.

The cultivation of children's dining etiquette can not be separated from the daily companionship, influence and teaching of parents. When good table manners become a part of family culture, respect for others, gratitude and cherish, and willingness to share are integrated into the baby's consciousness. These teachings engraved in the bones are intangible wealth that children benefit from all their lives.

William Hansen, a master of etiquette, once said: An observant person can know your parents' living background and your educational background in just one meal.

Indeed, the pattern of interpersonal communication and quality can be seen from a dinner party. You look at others at the dinner table, and others look at you at the dinner table.
