Will everyone take the initiative to clean up the dishes and chopsticks after eating? Many people may answer: "Of course, it is not normal to clean up the dishes and chopsticks after eating at home", so if you eat in a restaurant outside, will you also clean up the dishes and chopsticks with your hands? I believe that if you ask this question, you will not feel that it is a very reasonable thing.
However, a restaurant owner from Benxi, Liaoning Province, recently shared such a thing. In the video, it can be seen that in a restaurant, 4 boys meet to eat together, and after eating, one of the boys begins to clean up the dishes on the table.
I saw that the boy skillfully stacked the dishes and chopsticks and placed them on the dinner plate, while sorting out the garbage on the table and wiping the table clean. The other boys who were eating with them waited patiently, did not feel strange or urged, and waited patiently in their seats, as if they had become accustomed to it.
Subsequently, the owner of the restaurant introduced that these boys were students of a nearby middle school, and they had also come to the restaurant to eat before, and after each meal, they took the initiative to clean up the table and tidy up.
The restaurant owner said: Now children are generally spoiled by parents, usually at home to reach out to eat to open their mouths, like the video of such children although a minority, but let people feel warm in their hearts, indicating that the child's education is getting better and better, the next generation of quality is getting higher and higher, very touched.
After watching the video, netizens have praised the behavior of these students: "It is indeed of high quality, and now the children are getting better and better", "See it, this little fat has obsessive-compulsive disorder hahaha", "Such children are indeed rare, my baby will not do housework at home, and it is difficult to do it well."
It is true that many families are only children now, four or five or even five or six parents around a child, eager to do everything for the child, where the child still has the opportunity to do housework. But parents can't always be around their children, but sometimes it is beneficial to let children do some housework.
So what are the benefits of children doing housework?
More responsibility
A reasonable family division of labor, allowing children to undertake housework within their capabilities, can make children realize that they are also part of the family, and also have the responsibility to pay for the family and cultivate the sense of responsibility of children. And after the child grows up and enters the society, he can also integrate into the society faster and be more able to stand alone.
Know more about respecting others
Many mothers always complain that the toys that their children have played with and the dirty clothes they have changed are always thrown away, and the sanitary children who have cleaned up for half a day are messed up in half an hour, and the home is always a mess. In fact, instead of complaining, it is better to let children participate in the process of cleaning and doing housework, and children will know the difficulty of labor after hands-on experience, and know how to respect and cherish the fruits of others' labor.
More independent
The child is an independent individual, the parents take care of the thoughtful but the child always leaves the house one day, learn to do housework, learn to be independent is the child's compulsory course. There have also been news reports before that college students will not peel eggs when they go to college, will not wash their own clothes, will not peel fruits, such children will easily become giant babies in the future, can not integrate into society, presumably parents do not want their children to become like this, it is better to teach children to do housework early, and cultivate children to learn independence.
Some parents may say that we also know that children do housework well, but how to let children take the initiative to do it?
Start small
Cultivating children to do housework is not a task, but to let children develop a good habit of independence from an early age, of course, habits can not be formed in a day or two. Parents can start from a small age, starting from small things, such as letting children help throw diapers when they are one or two years old, helping parents get things when they are two or three years old, and dressing themselves and sorting out toys when they are four or five years old, so that children can slowly learn and gradually get started.
Parents don't be afraid of trouble
Many parents are reluctant to let their children do housework, on the one hand, they are afraid of delaying their children's learning, on the other hand, they feel that their children are not doing well, and parents have to return to work again and double the trouble. In fact, at this time, parents should be more patient, anything will never come to the meeting, children also need a process of learning to adapt, it is impossible to do all things well at once, parents should not be afraid of trouble, give children more opportunities to learn and practice.
Give your child positive feedback in a timely manner and encourage your child more
After the child completes the housework, parents should give positive feedback in time, such as when the child throws away the garbage, the mother can say: "You are awesome, because you help the mother to throw the garbage, the mother saves a lot of time, thank you." Such positive and timely praise will make children realize that their efforts are helpful to their parents, and at the same time, they will be paid attention to by their parents, and in the long run, children will be more active in the process of doing housework.
