One day after work, I saw that the kindergarten group reminded parents to assign some housework to their children at home. I thought about it, washing dishes, wiping the table, etc., for the current level of development of my own baby is not very realistic, suddenly, the three words "collect toys" hit my brain shell like an apple.
Yes, this child has not collected his own toys for a long time, every night after brushing his teeth directly to sleep, leaving a mess for grandma to collect, and often grandma just stuffed the toys into a casual place, there are many toys that can not be found when needed, or have not played once a year, in short, the use rate of toys is very low, reflecting the value and original intention of the toy that started at the beginning. It coincided with the purchase of a new toy for my baby today, and I decided to take this opportunity to carry out a "drastic" reform.
Back at home, the first thing that caught my eye was, of course, the toys that roamed the mountains everywhere, and the doll who was highly immersed in the game in a corner. Changing into the usual, I must have changed my shoes and continued to go to the room to do the work that had not yet been completed, these are just the environments in my eyes for tens of seconds when I changed my shoes. But today I am different, looking at the back of the baby, the brain is thinking at high speed how to start my "reform", at this time Grandma came up to complain, said to help him collect toys, he will not let him receive. I told my grandmother that he would let him collect his toys later. Teach yourself to collect toys now.
I approached baby, crouched down, and said to him, "Baby, mom bought you a new toy." With that, I wrapped the toy in front of his eyes and dangled it. When she looked at it, the building block that was playing with the hot water in her hand suddenly became unscented, and she reached out to get the new toy.
I didn't give it to him right away, but pointed to the messy toy behind him and said, "Baby, you see, your toys are finished, and you haven't collected them." You can't take care of your own toys, and your mom can't give you new toys. Baby was silent. I continued, "Now, Mom puts away the toys with you before she can give you new ones." Starting from today, after playing with toys every day, you have to collect toys, or you don't want to play with a toy after playing, send it home first, and then take out a new toy to play, do you know? Baby whispered, "I know."
So I took his little hand and went to the room to take out scissors, scotch glue and colored paper: "Wait a minute, we make a new home for toys that don't have a home yet, and every toy has a house to live in." Now, you're in charge of collecting the blocks, and your mother is in charge of collecting the puzzles. "
She didn't say a word, and then she ran to the little bike and said, "Mommy put away the toy."
I was speechless, so I had to pick up the new toy: "Do you still want a new toy?"
Baby's eyes lit up again and she said, "Yes!" And run over. I said, "Why did you just ask your mother to collect the toy?" These toys are taken out by yourself to play, do your own things, take them out to play, and you must have sent the toys home by yourself. "
Baby thought about it and began to walk over to collect the blocks. At the beginning, he collected a part of it and said that he had finished it, and asked me to point out the missing individuals before putting them away. To the back, I thought of a game of building blocks jumping into the pool, imagining the blocks as children, jumping into the pool to play with the water, the baby immediately came to be interested, looking for scattered blocks everywhere to send home. After collecting the blocks, Eva's enthusiasm increased, and he said that he still had to collect cards. I said yes. At this time, I also actively finished the same toy under his eyes.
After we put away all the toys with "home", we began to make a new home for the "homeless" toys. Before I use an idle box to make a "home" for a certain type of toy, I will ask the baby's opinion, the baby will generally agree, and then I will let him choose the color of the colored paper, and then write the specific home of a certain type of toy on the colored paper. After this is done, let the baby send the toy in, so that he remembers that this kind of toy will be sent back to this box in the future.
In this way, the original garbage-like toy park was packed up, although the number of toys is large, but it does not affect the neatness and beauty, and even becomes the brightest corner of the house. At this time, I rewarded the baby with a new toy, and he was happy.
The next day, at 8:30 p.m., I started urging him to collect the toys. At first, I didn't want to play, and I wanted to play, so I made an appointment with him to play for another five minutes, and when the "big man" (minute hand) pointed to "7", I would collect it. In this way, the baby is willing to fulfill the agreement to collect the toy. So stick to it every day. Although sometimes the time is late, I also insist on putting away the toys and brushing my teeth to sleep, or sometimes brushing my teeth and then retracting, flexible and adaptable, in short, we must insist.
In the process of cleaning up the toys, I have summarized the following practical ideas:
(1) Correct mentality. At the beginning, he thought that cleaning up the toys was her own business, not what his grandparents and mother helped him do. After the mentality is corrected, can we be gentle and firm in the time of education and guidance, not to be defeated by his "selling cuteness and selling misery", and only then can we put an end to the three-day drying net thing like "The baby is very sleepy, don't let him collect it today, I help him collect it", and give up halfway.
(2) Toys must have a clear classification and storage location. Each toy has its own storage position, and that storage position should be marked by text or pictures that the baby's grandparents can also understand. And the location of each storage should be fixed, if there is a change, it is necessary to tell the baby in time. When making the storage position, it is necessary to make it with the baby, and in some aspects that reflect the personality, such as color, size, etc., the consent of the baby should be obtained, so that the effect will be doubled with half the effort.
(3) At the beginning, you should collect toys with your baby. At the beginning, it is unrealistic to let the baby store itself, on the one hand, the baby is originally resistant to doing this thing, and the enthusiasm is not high; Second, he didn't know what to do. At this stage, adults need to start the baby to store together, and give the necessary guidance in it, so that the baby has an understanding of the category and homecoming of his toys, and when the baby can take the initiative to collect the toys later, it is not too late to let him collect them independently.
(4) Get support from your family. Especially the elderly at home, we must discuss with them, you can collect toys with them, but you can't collect toys instead of children. In this way, the child can ensure that the habit of cultivating the child to receive toys is not interrupted.
(5) In the process of storage, add interesting elements. For example, the storage of blocks, you can imagine that many children are jumping into the pool, every time they jump into a building block, they say a number, and the baby is instantly interested. Children naturally love to play, games, as long as used properly, will never become obsolete.
Educating children is like a long stream, it requires patience and persistence, and it also needs to constantly use the brain and change the thinking, and at the moment of harvesting the results, it feels that all the efforts are so worthwhile.
