In the video, a daughter was severely criticized by her father for dumping leftovers into the trash can. The father then asked the girl to pick up the leftovers in the trash can and eat them in front of the girl. The father said that he wanted the children to know that food was hard to come by, so he ate leftovers. Father's original intention of this kind of education is good, but the practice is somewhat extreme. Before educating girls, it is necessary to find out why girls pour leftovers into bowls. Maybe she can't finish eating for fear of criticism from her parents, or maybe she doesn't know what to do with leftovers. Parents should solve the problem from the root. If children eat snacks before meals, they can't eat too much, and they can eat less next time.
If the child doesn't know how to deal with the unfinished meal, then teach the child not to know how to solve it and ask the parents. In order to let children learn a lesson, they can be hungry, and there is no need to pick up the leftovers in the trash can to eat.
Second, how to educate children to save food? With life getting better and better, children nowadays rarely suffer hardships and don't know the feeling of "every grain is hard".
Then how to educate children to save food? Here are three ways to teach you, one is to cultivate correct concepts, the other is to establish principles, and the third is to set a good example. In the video, the father's approach is extreme, but it is commendable that he instilled the concept of saving food into his children. Conceptually, let children know that food is hard to come by, and let children know how to cherish food. Over time, children can remember the correct concepts. When children are young, parents can make principles for their children, such as how much to eat, not throwing leftovers, eating leftovers by themselves and so on. Parents should not waste food, let alone help their children eat leftovers. Parents can urge children to eat as much as possible according to the situation.
Whether eating out or at home, parents should set a good example for their children. Usually the family goes out to eat, orders less, and packs leftovers. When eating buffet, teach children to eat as much as they want, and don't waste food if they don't eat enough.
Third, to sum up, the original intention of this kind of education is good, but the method is a bit extreme. There are three ways to educate children to save food: to cultivate correct concepts, establish principles and set an example.
