In the circle of parents, many parents will have such knowledge that children need to be trained in self-care ability on the basis of physical and mental health. This is of course considered by parents. Children need to have a sense of family responsibility and start from scratch. Doing housework will be regarded as the most basic exercise.
Not only parents and friends care about the sense of family responsibility, in fact, Harvard University in the United States also has a follow-up survey on children's housework.
In the past 20 years, experts from Harvard University have followed up 456 children in Boston. The results show that compared with children who don't like housework, children who love housework have lower rates of unemployment, crime, divorce and mental illness when they grow up.
This positive survey feedback has given more parents who want their children to fall in love with housework more positive and powerful data support. Actually, the problem is coming. Not every child is born to love housework, or naturally falls in love with housework under the example of their parents.
Many times, parents need to know their children's growth trajectory and their psychological needs and thoughts. So, are you still worried that children don't like to do housework? Use the Spring Festival to make children fall in love with housework. Let's see what we can do now.
0 1, respect children's independent consciousness and independent behavior.
In fact, children's independent consciousness and behavior will be shown at a very young age. Usually when the child is about 2 years old, the idea of "I have to do everything myself" will sprout. Things like eating by yourself, wearing small clothes and washing.
Often these things will make children like them very much. If no one bothers them, they will find that children can do it by themselves and enjoy the process and experience.
In fact, for younger babies or older children, when parents see that their children are addicted to doing some housework, they may wish to give their children timely encouragement and appreciation and support them to continue to complete the housework they really want to do. Even if it is slow and not good enough, don't take the trouble to deprive him of the opportunity to start work.
02. Use games to stimulate children's interest in housework.
Children love to play games, as if games were their main venue. Many times, it is not that children are unwilling to do housework, but that parents need to consciously "gamify" housework to arouse children's interest.
For competitive children, we can have a housework competition to see who washes the dishes well and quickly and who washes the dishes cleanest. No matter whether a child loses or wins, he can learn from housework competitions. Winning will increase children's self-confidence and enthusiasm for housework. If he loses, he will tell us, actively reflect on his own shortcomings and strive to do better next time.
But be strict with children and give them a chance to take their time.
Many times, we will find that children are always slow to do things. This doesn't mean that children are slow, they have procrastination problems. In fact, children need more time and opportunities to grow up slowly.
And this adaptation process is exactly what parents need to give their children. Parents should not look at whether their children's behavior is good enough with the eyes of adults, but also allow their children to make some mistakes. What's more, when a child makes a mistake, he is eager to give him weight, saying that the child is not good enough to do this housework well, so how can he be so stupid?
Children's ability needs to be improved slowly, and parents need patient guidance. If you give your child a low evaluation many times, it will inevitably hurt your child's self-confidence and enthusiasm in doing housework.
On the contrary, children should be encouraged and supported in time, and their good behavior of being willing to try, diligent in doing things and good at thinking should be affirmed and praised. Let children realize that their parents pay attention to their hard work and positive side, and have more confidence and enthusiasm in doing housework.
Adults at home should have a unified understanding of children's housework, give support to children's housework, and guide children in a positive way. I hope that children can fall in love with housework through the Spring Festival holiday.
