Children often say there is a "generation gap" between them and their parents.
In fact, this generation gap is not only reflected in the thinking and ideas, but also in doing housework, in fact, there is a big difference.
★ Recently, a set of different comparison pictures of quilts stacked in various ages has become popular on the Internet, and everyone is very interested in it.
Judging from the picture, the quilts after the 60s are very neat, just like tofu blocks, they also clean up the beds neatly, looking very refreshing.
And the post-70s quilt folding, is already in the pursuit of how convenient and neat, they will lay the quilt flat on the bed, and then fold in half.
This is really time-saving to operate, and it looks neat and beautiful.
And the post-80s quilt folding is very personal.
This generation, because of the impact of some new ideas, is also more distinct. They don't have to fold quilts so rigorously anymore, and they don't need to fold a square, but they have more casualness in it.
They spread the quilt directly on the bed, although there is no folding, but it looks very generous and neat, simple and stylish.
People in the 90s, they were more "rebellious", on the basis of the post-80s, they also spread the quilt on the bed and then folded out a corner.
The post-00s are completely different, and most of them can't think of folding quilts at all.
After waking up every day, they threw the quilt there, regardless of it.
In their eyes, folding the quilt should be for others to see, usually there is no need to fold the quilt, anyway, at night to sleep still have to open. Although the reason seems to be correct, but it seems to be a bit of a strong word, such a mess, unhygienic, not to mention, if friends and colleagues come to visit, it will also give others a sloppy feeling.
Now the post-00s are casual, unpolished, and self-indulgent, but the rules that should be understood must still have good habits. Adults should pay attention to cultivating children's hands-on ability and good living habits, so that they can be clean, look like the whole person is spiritual, and do things in an orderly manner, so that not only can life be easier, but also give others a good impression.
★ How do parents develop their children's ability to do housework?
Let the child have a sense of independence and let go appropriately
For many parents now, they habitually hold their children in the palm of their hands, thinking that the most important thing for children is to learn, and other housework does not need them to do.
● Although learning is also important, having the ability to take care of oneself is a skill that one must have.
For children, if they have not been exposed to housework, it is difficult for them to have self-care ability, it is difficult to form "do their own things", and it is difficult to have the idea of "I am the owner of this home, I want to pay for the family and make it more beautiful".
Over time, they become accustomed to relying on their parents, and they don't know which is chores and what they should do. In other words, they can't live independently without their parents.
Therefore, in the matter of doing housework, parents can appropriately let go, let them have more contact and contact, have a sense of participation at home from an early age, experience what is called life, and when they live independently, they can tidy up their small rooms in an orderly manner.
Stimulate your child's curiosity
Children need to cultivate certain self-care skills, so adults can properly involve them when they are working. Of course, children will not do it perfectly at the beginning, but parents should also encourage their children and stimulate their curiosity to do housework.
Because children's curiosity is very strong, when they see adults working, they will look at it with an inquiring eye. Because they hadn't been exposed, they were curious about it. At this time, the adults can let them participate in it, let them know why they want to wipe the table and why they want to mop the floor.
When they really do it, parents should give their children affirmations and praise them for wiping clean, then in the subtle, they can slowly master some skills and get used to doing some housework.
Encourage your child more
Although some parents also want to let their children participate in it, but do it, parents will think that the child's speed is too slow or frizzy, and they have to do it again. As a result, impatience will gradually arise, which will make the child let go of the side, stop doing it and even issue some nagging and complaining.
Although this is just a kind of urgency for parents to finish the housework faster, in the eyes of children, this is the parents who hate that they are not doing well. Undoubtedly, this is likely to cause some psychological harm and frustration to the child, and it will be difficult for them to want to participate in housework in the future.
● For parents, we must be considerate of our children.
After all, they have not yet grown up, and it is naturally impossible to do things perfectly, so at this time, we must lead them appropriately, encourage them more, and add confidence and courage to them.
During this period, parents can also teach them how to make it easier or cleaner, teach their own experience to their children, and children can also exercise their thinking and actions in doing housework.
Spicy Mom Quotes:
Although from the performance of the quilt folding, the post-00s seem to have great deficiencies, but I believe that as they grow up and mature, they will gradually realize the importance of doing housework. As long as parents are patiently guided and willing to let their children exercise, I believe that children's hands-on ability and self-care ability will be improved step by step.
