The survey found that about 64% of parents in China do not let their children do housework, and only 25% of children do housework for about 30 minutes a day.
2022 officially arrived, the family is full of joy, full of the taste of the New Year, and the children who work outside all year round also have the opportunity to go home for reunion, and the family is warm.
Especially children in the school period, in order to please the elders, choose to say a lot of nice words to please the elders, but for the elders, doing more housework for the family is more gratifying than saying how many good words.
New Year's visits to relatives and friends, children will not do housework
Xiao Li has been married for many years and will go home to visit relatives every Spring Festival, and this year is no exception to take her daughter Xinxin back to her mother's home.
The mother's family is happy and harmonious, everyone is busy working for the dinner, Xiao Li found that the elders made a table of food, but it seems that Xinxin and the son of the brother's family are out of the matter.
The two little ones are immersed in their own little world, playing with each other's mobile phones and neither of them communicates with anyone, even if the uncle shouts for the children to help, both sides are motionless.
At night, cleaning up the table and dishes, but also going back to their rooms, looking at the children who did not have any work in their eyes, Xiao Li said that he was very worried, the children grew up day by day, one went to high school, one read junior high school, but a little housework would not be done.
Grandma loves the children at home very much, explaining that the children's main task is to learn, the children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, I hope the children do not worry too much, Xiao Li also does not know what to do.
In fact, in the hearts of most parents, children are always children, always do not want them to take on too much housework, see children do housework will be sad in their hearts, hope that they can help children bear, but children can not be static, so they must learn to do housework skills.
It is actually easy to cultivate children's ability to do housework
Doing housework is an essential skill, and no one is exempt from it, which needs to be cultivated by parents.
1) Teach your child by example
Children learn housework, parents are an important leader, through words and deeds, let children understand the spirit. Through careful and patient instruction, children understand the tricks and methods of doing housework.
Parents should not rush to achieve success, to demonstrate to their children over and over again, so that children can see and understand it many times, only in this way can children really learn the skills of doing housework.
2) Make children aware of the importance of independent ability
How many children are unwilling to do housework, not because they are naturally resistant, but because they believe that doing housework is irrelevant and do not need to learn, so they repeatedly delay.
Such children do not realize the importance of independent ability in future growth, which requires parents to repeatedly instill in children, so that children understand that independent ability is an indispensable ability in growth, and parents cannot accompany children for a lifetime, and children need to learn to arm themselves.
3) Let your child let go and try it in daily life
Practice is an effective way to test the truth, no matter how many good words parents tell their children, the important thing is to let the children go and try, how many parents think that the children are clumsy, and there is no patience to let the children go.
In this way, the child will have a resistance psychology, thinking that they do not have the ability to do housework, and do not need to carry out their own work, repeatedly postpone, miss a good time to do housework, parents should learn to make full use of the opportunity.
Teaching a child to do housework is not about getting him "tired"
The benefits of doing housework are more than a little bit, and they are also very helpful for the future life of children.
First of all, to improve the quality of children's lives, children need to work and live independently after growing up, when children are involved in living alone, three meals a day is a must for life content.
If the child blindly pins on the takeaway, can only make the child's body harmful, if the child learns to do housework, learn to make their own food, will improve the texture and quality of the child's future life.
Secondly, the family atmosphere is more harmonious. For the child's future small family, two people need to support each other, no one can completely throw housework to each other, this is disrespect for each other, nor is it a normal family model, so it can only make the husband and wife relationship have a gap, learn to understand each other, is the way for husband and wife to get along.
In addition, the character and will quality are exercised, and doing housework is to deal with the subtle things in daily life.
Children need to invest patience and care, in the process of doing housework, will exercise the child's will quality, let the child develop a calm and unhurried personality, the future will be more calm in the world.
What chores should children of all ages learn?
Learning to do housework needs to follow certain rules, and children around 3 years old should learn basic life skills such as putting on and undressing, brushing their teeth, and washing their faces.
Children around the age of 4 can learn to deal with simple chores such as washing dishes, serving rice, sweeping and mopping the floor, rather than just knowing how to lift their feet when their parents are wiping the floor.
If there are small pets in the family, children around the age of 5 can learn to feed cats and dogs, and this age should learn to clean the room and other minor chores.
6 to 7 years old to further learn to live independently, watering flowers, throwing garbage, washing vegetables are easy to do, this stage should pay more attention to independence.
Especially in the morning of the primary school stage, parents can prepare breakfast, children dress and wash themselves, and tidy up all the pre-school things, so that everyone does not have to be busy.
By the age of 10 to 11, you should learn to ride alone and save money, and the washing machine with higher safety can also teach children to use independently.
Candy Mom has something to say:
Today's children do not have to support the whole family at the age of 12 as in the past, even if the family loves the child again, there are family members and nannies to do things, and the life skills of the club must be mastered. Learn this not to "serve" anyone, but to take better care of yourself.
