Parents should do something for their children before asking them to do simple work. Children don't know that doing simple labor is helping others, so in the process of parents helping their children, they can naturally understand the meaning of labor.
If the child drinks a glass of water with his mother, the mother will say, "Oh, is the baby thirsty?" Mom helps you pour water.
Did mom listen to your request? The baby should also help his mother pour a glass of water, okay? "This naturally guides children to do simple housework.
When a mother assigns housework to her baby, she should aim at the child's age characteristics and physical condition, and at the same time make the task content as specific as possible. This is a whole concept.
Parents who have just come into contact with early education may not give their babies early education, and treasure moms are all studying there.
Children should be allowed to do simple jobs that parents need.
If children do what they like, they can do the simple work that parents need. Labor is to help others, so children should appropriately increase the difficulty of labor when they are in contact with others.
Of course, in the process of letting your baby participate in labor, you need to pay attention to the following points.
The benefits of having children work.
1, labor can cultivate independence
In fact, every baby longs for independence, from the first time he pushed your hand to let him walk, from the time he grabbed the spoon and wanted to scoop his own food. Letting the baby do something independently can reduce the dependence on adults and form an independent consciousness of "relying on yourself".
Arranging for the baby from an early age will only make the baby form a dependent psychology. Once dependence is formed, it is difficult to change, and parents need to rely on it for big and small things.
2. Develop intelligence through hand movements during childbirth.
You need to use your hands at work. As the saying goes, "ingenuity", exercising hands can develop intelligence, which is one of the reasons why many parents let their babies learn piano and violin from an early age. Early delivery training for infants can also stimulate and develop brain cells.
3, labor can enhance the baby's physique.
Labor can cultivate the baby's hands-on habits and promote the development of large and small muscles. Just like exercise, it can strengthen the baby's physique.
4, labor allows the baby to learn to cherish.
Only when you know the pain will you know how to get "sweetness". It is convenient for the baby to eat, you will cherish what the baby can't see, and you will cherish the fruits of labor and respect the fruits of others' labor if you let the baby do it yourself.
Parents should have the awareness of letting their babies work, and let them do what they can from an early age. The three-year-old baby should try to make him eat and drink as much as possible, learn to take off his pants and slippers, and help his mother with things at the same time.
Start with what children like.
Under normal circumstances, children can engage in simple labor at the age of 2. But considering the age of the child, we should try our best to arrange common and easy things at home.
In order to arouse children's interest in labor, children should be given something they like or something close to them in life.
At first, let the children help their mothers with familiar items such as toys, dolls, milk, snacks, etc., and then gradually increase the difficulty of labor, so that the children can get in touch with water, paper towels, newspapers and other common items in life.
Matters needing attention in arranging labor for children
Tell children to do simple work in a consultative tone.
Many times when parents ask their baby to do something, they are used to posing as adults and using imperative tone, but most babies will hate it because you deprive their baby of the right to choose! If you want your baby to help with the housework, you should say, "Can you get me a tissue?" Ask the child gently in a consultative tone.
Providing choices to your baby can make your child feel happier than directly arranging tasks. Even the youngest child likes the feeling of being respected by his parents, so the mother can make a list of housework and let the baby choose one or two from these options. Housework is her own choice, so she will bear the responsibility of completing the task psychologically.
You can't let your baby work while he is playing games.
I'm having a good time in my room. What's certain is that my mother will only make my baby tired of housework at this time. So, you should choose a suitable time.
You shouldn't use coercion when assigning tasks. You can leave a moderate process for your baby, such as "I'll let you play for another ten minutes, and then you will put the book on the shelf."
Praise good things and encourage them when they are wrong.
For children, the process of active participation in labor is more important than the result, and parents don't have to dwell on the meticulous and perfect result. If the baby does well this time, or his grades are greatly improved than before, parents should actively praise the baby and use this pleasure of success to strengthen his behavior.
