Spring Festival is a festival full of joy, during this time families will visit each other with relatives and friends, and children will meet many relatives and friends who have not been seen for a long time. Everyone eats, chats, plays together, and celebrates the New Year together.
Guests come to the home during the New Year's Festival, and they are most afraid of encountering "bear children", turning over boxes and cabinets, destroying items in the home... But I believe that no parent wants their baby to become a rude "bear child" in the population!
Today, I will give you a trip to the etiquette class about children's Spring Festival visits to relatives and friends, parents please be sure to teach their own little babies, make up for this etiquette class, worry about a whole year!
First of all, let's take a look at the precautions for visiting relatives and friends in the New Year, so as to avoid parents being led into the pit of "bear parents" by "bear children".
The first pit of the forward warning
People are crazy
Breaking into the forbidden zone & messing around for things
Children are born to be unable to sit still, adults "talk about wine and mulberry", children are likely to begin to explore this magical new world at relatives' homes.
Don't underestimate the child's ability to explore, rummage through boxes and cabinets toss out a bunch of things, play and throw around, it is likely that if you are not careful, you will damage the precious items of other people's homes. At this time, whether the loss is lost or not, the parents will also be embarrassed together, which will damage the face of relatives and friends.
The second pit ahead of the warning
There are no rules for eating
Rummaging through the plates & delicious things to come first
Although compared with the first two articles, the lethality of table manners is average, which will not lead to too much property damage, but it is serious enough to make parents lose face and Sven sweep the floor.
I believe that everyone can often see such a "bear child" meal situation: the use of "do whatever you want" to describe is not exaggerated, like which dish, regardless of whether others are still clipping, immediately crackling and turning the table, each dish comes up, but also he must taste it first, others can eat. The young parents could not hang on their faces, and they were not easy to be angry, and they could only regret taking their children out in their hearts.
If you don't do "bear children" in the New Year, how should parents teach their babies?
Preparations for children before they go out
If you want your child to be a good child with good manners, these preparations must be done before going out. Sometimes don't blame the child for not understanding things, in fact, you did not teach well in advance!
Learn to call others
During the Spring Festival, parents should let their children learn how to call the guests they want to meet. Some children are rarely used, it is very unaccustomed to calling, and if you wait to see the guests to teach, you will often make the children scream. Therefore, if there are guests who are informed in advance that they will visit, parents should first teach their children in advance, practice more, and when they meet with guests, they will appear kind and natural.
Children for unfamiliar people and the environment will naturally be nervous, parents can not be anxious, do not count the children in front of everyone, this will hurt the child's self-esteem, can allow him to familiarize himself with the environment for a while before calling people. For children who are particularly introverted and shy, parents can make an appointment with their children in advance and greet them with a smile or a small wave of hand. It is then explained by the parents to relatives and friends on behalf of the child.
Learn to share things
During the New Year, children will eat a lot of delicious things, parents should tell their children that delicious things should learn to share, can not eat alone. Before going out, tell your child well: "Delicious things can't be completely eaten by yourself, you have to leave others to eat." Everyone loves a good baby who shares.
"Some kids are very introverted and timid and don't want to come into contact with people. At this time, everyone can let him bring his beloved toys, habitual food, etc., one or two familiar things to meet the needs of the heart, so that the child's heart has a sense of security!
How not to wet pants
There are more guests during the Spring Festival, and if the child pees his pants in front of many people, it will not only hit the child's self-confidence, but also make the parents feel very embarrassed. If the child is not yet able to go to the toilet completely independently, parents may wish to put on diapers or pull-up pants when there are many guests at home, or when they go out, so as to avoid wetting the pants.
Spring Festival etiquette for children
Many children are not born "bear children", but lack interpersonal experience, in the Spring Festival New Year we should let children learn more of the following basic etiquette:
Guest etiquette
When you arrive at the home of friends and family, greet people with smiles and say New Year greetings.
The host did not say please sit, do not sit down at will. When you arrive at someone else's home, don't look around, and don't run around and run in and out of private areas such as bedrooms.
Be treated by the master and get up to thank you.
Don't move things without the owner's permission, and don't turn on the TV or computer randomly.
When you leave, say goodbye to the host and ask the host to stay and not send it far.
Hospitality etiquette
When guests come to the house to pay respects to the New Year, everyone should guide and encourage children to interact with guests, be a warm little host, and do not think that receiving guests is what parents should do.
When you hear a knock at the door, ask your child to greet you.
When guests talk to their parents, do not interject casually; when guests get up and leave, they should send guests with their parents and do not hide in the room and do not come out.
Conversation etiquette
Be generous and polite when talking to guests, and don't be casual and absent-minded.
Speak at a slower pace, not too fast for people to hear.
If there is a disagreement, don't speak harshly to the guests, so that people can't get off the stage.
Table manners
Whether it is in your own home or at the home of relatives and friends, let the elders take the seat first and move the chopsticks first.
Don't put your favorite dishes in front of you when eating, and don't rummage around on the plate to find the food you like to eat.
Concentrate when eating, don't play while eating. After eating, you should clean up the dishes and chopsticks, set the chair straight, and then say "everyone use slowly" before you can leave.
Red envelope etiquette
Elders give red envelopes and use their hands to receive them to show respect. If the child is young, you can hold the child's hands to pick up, and then say thank you with him.
If the child is in a bad mood and does not pay any attention to the parents' situation, the parent should take the child away from the scene as soon as possible, go to a relatively quiet space, change the environment, and then calmly reiterate some basic etiquette and correct practices after the child calms down.
Well, the little etiquette of visiting the door during the Spring Festival is basically finished. In fact, taking more children to visit the door and creating opportunities for ta to deal with and communicate with different types of people is also a good holiday experience. However, if the etiquette is not cultivated, leaving a bad, even bad impression on the owner, it is quite necessary to pay for it.
