At the beginning of last month, I saw a little girl the same age as Zhe in the yogurt section, holding a piece of paper and holding 10 yuan. While reading the note, she said to her mother, "Mom, after buying my yogurt, I have to buy soy sauce."
Mother replied, "Yes, thank you for reminding me. I almost forgot the soy sauce. "
Know so many words at such a young age? Out of curiosity, I paid special attention to the mother and daughter.
The little girl went on to say, "Mom, my yogurt is 8, and I have 10. Are there two more? "
"Well, you are right. You can choose the remaining two dollars you like, and you can see which one you can buy at the marked price. " Mom replied.
At this time, the little girl came to me for an 8-yuan yogurt bottle. I saw the small pieces of paper in her hand-squares, bottles and some crooked shapes were drawn on them one by one.
Mother may have broken the bottle because she was afraid of it. I commend the little girl for being able to count at such a young age. The little girl's mother said, "She taught herself in the supermarket."
It turns out that this mother regards the supermarket as a place for early education. After that, we will go to the supermarket and no longer restrict the shopping cart of Zhe students. We plan to do some preparatory work from the beginning of going to the supermarket: what to buy, what he can choose; How much money to bring is at his disposal, and he has prepared his own handbag to let him know the concept of environmental protection and saving.
Shopping in the supermarket seems to be a very daily family activity, but if children are respected and treated as important members to communicate equally, they will have a sense of identity that I am also the master of the family, and their enthusiasm for participation will be high.
After more than a month's practice, I will share with my friends how to "go shopping" with my children.
1 column plan
Just as I need to make an outline when writing a tweet, I always pull a memo every time I travel or have something to do.
Taking children to the supermarket, we can also follow the example of the mother mentioned above and encourage children to write down what they intend to buy. Younger children can be done by adults. When children have their own drawing ability, encouraging them to draw by themselves not only exercises their memory, but also their fine movements.
There is another advantage of making a plan: if there is an unplanned demand after going to the supermarket, we can tell our children that this is not in our plan and there is no corresponding budget. Next time, we can plan ahead, so that children can have psychological expectations and reduce the phenomenon of children rolling around in the supermarket.
Cash settlement, let children have a concept of money.
Nowadays, the payment methods in supermarkets are more and more diversified, and payment methods such as credit card, WeChat and Alipay are really convenient. But take the children to the supermarket and try to pay in cash, so that they have a basic understanding of money-
The circulation of commodities and the measurement of commodity value are closely related to money, which is also the basis for the cultivation of financial quotient and financial management consciousness.
2 price tag
This is a very interesting game. Not only can you know numbers and decimal points, but you can also tell which goods are more expensive and which are cheaper. This is a good opportunity to learn how to compare sizes.
3 Simple calculation
When I was a child, I was not sensitive to numbers, but every time I went to the grocery store with 50 cents or an allowance, in order to buy more snacks, after asking the price, I had to do a few quick calculations in my mind and make a choice, so that I could buy more things I wanted, and the extra money could be saved in the piggy bank.
Every time I go to the supermarket, I also give Mr. Zhe a quota, 5 yuan or 10 yuan, so that he can choose what he likes within the quota, which can help him learn the corresponding relationship between price tag and money and simple calculation.
4 understand the classification of materials
Classification and induction are very important abilities of a person. I didn't have enough training in this field when I was a child, and I began to pay attention to the cultivation of this ability from college.
So I pay more attention to this aspect under the guidance of teacher Zhe. For example, recently, the two of us often played with a copy of a thinking training book shared by my friend, in which there will be thinking logic training to link things belonging to the same category. There are many episodes of this set of thinking training questions. See the address at the end of the article you want. )
This classification is more intuitive in supermarkets. Everything on the shelf is the same. When shopping, you can tell your children which are daily necessities and which are stationery, food and kitchen utensils. You can also let the children sort the items on the plan list in advance, and then design their own routes, which area to go to first and then which area to go to. Next time you go, you can remind your child how to buy goods in the fastest time.
Help move things and learn to share.
Children's exclusive shopping bags can put their things or portable household items, and then let them take them to the underground garage or home, so that they will feel that they are a member of the family and have their own role, which effectively cultivates their sense of responsibility.
When you get home, put things back and learn to tidy up.
When you get home, which items are put in the refrigerator and which ones are put in the cupboard, so that children can participate in the whole process. After knowing where the household items are, let them take things without asking questions.
Life is full of places to educate children. Sometimes it is undoubtedly a good way to learn to read more parenting books and learn from the educational methods and experiences of excellent mothers.
