Western educational scholars have pointed out that "good habits are more correct than laws" and "habits are the greatest guide in one's life." Then, how should modern parents cultivate their children's behavior habits in the process of raising their children?

Civilized language habits —— Starting with polite expressions.

Gorky said: "Language is the clothes of all things and thoughts". As modern parents, in the process of children's growth, we should pay attention to educating children to learn polite language. For example, address adults correctly and say "thank you, please, I'm sorry" and other polite expressions. On the other hand, although children don't swear, they have a bad attitude and an impatient or even harsh tone. Therefore, parents should let their children learn to speak kindly, behave gracefully, be lively and generous, and form a good habit of being sincere and generous.

Collective consciousness-the behavior habit of living in harmony with others.

People are social. For children, how to get along with their partners is a subject that they urgently need to learn. Parents can consciously guide their children to associate with their peers, remind them to get along well with their neighbors, give them a sense of collective honor, encourage them to help others, or do things for the collective. Although sometimes, the "help" children do may be ridiculous in the eyes of adults, they should not be discouraged. Parents should take advantage of the situation, support their children to actively help others, and actively participate in various school activities ... Only in this way can children subtly have a collective consciousness and learn to consider the feelings of others, rather than just being self-centered.

Work habits-let children start by dressing themselves.

Labor habits are also behavioral habits that should be cultivated from an early age. At present, only-child families account for the vast majority. Modern parents often overprotect their children's upbringing, or do so anywhere in their children's lives. In this way, children may lose the opportunity to do things by themselves, and then lose the consciousness of doing things by themselves. Children lose the opportunity to learn and participate, and it is taken for granted that these should be done by parents. Gradually become dependent.

Hygienic habits-an important part of physical and mental health.

Modern families cultivate children's healthy habits in two aspects, one is healthy eating habits, and the other is good work and rest habits. In modern families, children are very educated and often buy whatever they like, which is not good for their growth and development. It is necessary to pay attention to let children develop good eating hygiene habits from childhood, eat on time, do not overeat, eat less snacks, and do not have a partial eclipse. In particular, we should pay attention to cultivating children's healthy eating concept from an early age, so that children can develop good habits of eating well and balancing nutrition from an early age.

Good eating habits will accompany children for life.

The disorder of work and rest time is a misunderstanding of modern people's life, which will inevitably be influenced by children. Today's children have been exposed to TV and computers since infancy, and there are more opportunities to indulge in TV and computers in early childhood. Some children have been exposed to computers since they were 3 years old; Some children are full of energy, even on weekends and holidays, they stay up late with their parents' life rhythm. This practice not only makes children unable to get enough rest physically and mentally, but also makes them reach school age and unable to adapt to the school schedule.

Study habits-let children benefit for a lifetime.

Shen Guanghui, the principal of Bajiao North Road Primary School in Shijingshan District, Beijing, told us that the first and second grades of primary school are the formative stage, and children should gradually develop the habits of resting, getting up and studying on time to meet the tense learning needs in the future. But in fact, the formation of this study habit also began from the child's childhood. Parents should not only attach importance to their children's early education, but also stimulate their children's interest in learning and reading, which is very beneficial to cultivate their good study habits. American education experts believe that if children's learning ability is not fully developed in pre-school stage, then children are likely to have low learning ability and can't keep up with the progress of school learning in the future.

Children's good behavior habits are consciously cultivated by adults. Once the habits are formed, they are not easy to change. Therefore, parents should fully realize that good behavior habits are an important part of children's education, so that children can start small and grow into an independent, confident, responsible, willing to learn and good at getting along with others.
