From September onwards, primary and secondary school students will learn to cook rice, grow vegetables and repair home appliances... How should these labor skills be developed?

Recently, there is a piece of news that rushed to the hot search and attracted the attention of many people -

Originally, the Ministry of Education officially issued the "Compulsory Education Curriculum Plan", which completely separated labor from the original comprehensive practical activity curriculum, and issued the "Compulsory Education Labor Curriculum Standards (2022 Edition)".

Starting this autumn, labor classes will officially become an independent course in primary and secondary schools.

In this labor curriculum standard, the labor course content and the skills that need to be mastered for primary and secondary school students of different ages are divided into ten task groups.

This also means that in addition to learning, life labor skills such as cooking, growing vegetables and repairing home appliances will soon become the necessary skills for every primary and secondary school student.

Presumably, the Ministry of Education has made such an adjustment, and it is also full of intentions. It is of great significance to many children who are now wearing clothes to open their mouths and are overly cared for.

This will not only allow children to have more life skills, but also lay a solid foundation for their independent growth in the future.

However, I believe that after watching this news, many parents have begun to slowly become anxious, and the usual tutoring homework has been jumped, which has to start with experiential labor again.

How do you teach your child these skills? Take a look at the "Practical Manual of Life Labor" prepared by the philosopher of life, Tatsumi Natsumi, for children.

These four picture books give children many specific and practical methods and references from the four aspects of daily housework, the use of daily necessities, the preparation of school life and the relationship with others in labor.

As for why she created this set of books, the author Tatsumi Nagisa mentioned her original intention -

The idea I've been advocating over the years is that "having children help with housework can cultivate the ability to live." The ability to live is cultivated from everyday life and interaction with family. Just immersing oneself in learning will not gain the ability to survive in this harsh era. This feeling is increasingly accepted by more and more parents. But parents will also be confused about how to teach their children how to do it. These picture books were created to solve this problem, so that parents and children can read together and understand, "Ah, this is the way it was done." "When living with parents, move your hands and body more, do your own things, and help your family do what you can, then the ability to live will naturally grow in this process." ------------------

What's more, there will be a small column at the end of each unit in the book that gives us reasons to love doing housework. For example, cleaning and tidying up not only cleans up the living place, but also the heart becomes refreshing and clean; cooking for the people you like, so that each other's hearts are connected, and so on.

In addition to chopsticks, there are bowls for our meals, scissors and brushes used in game learning, toothbrushes and brooms used in life, and so on.

A must-have treasure trove of campus life

Every child will face an important step in life - going to primary school! Many parents will be anxious about whether their children's knowledge reserves are enough, but they often ignore more important things, such as life skills, social skills, safety awareness, time management skills and so on.

Go to school! The Encyclopedia of Primary School Students' Preparation for School includes 26 themes, which comprehensively explain the various skills and knowledge that primary school students need to use in and around the campus.

A social guide to working life

In addition to the improvement of life and labor skills, how to get along with others in labor is equally important.

Do You Think About Others? Set a variety of common scenes in daily life, through 21 small themes, the art of getting along with others is discussed with children in detail.

Children can read what others think in different situations and how others react to our words and actions. Learn to understand the thoughts of others, take the initiative to observe, perceive, and experience the emotions of others, so as to care for others, and then adjust their behavior.

For example, when getting along with your family, you should use "thank you" and "sorry" to express your unseen feelings and pass them on to each other.

For example, when playing with friends, think more about each other's feelings and don't do things that make others hate.

Further, "Will You Think About Others?" The purpose of "" is actually to convey the idea that when you treat everyone around you with the heart of "thinking about others", you will slowly find that others are also thinking about you.

The truth of how to behave in the world is so simple to say. To raise a child with high emotional intelligence, please start by teaching him to "think of others".

From housework, to self-care ability, to loving with others, these skills are more important than learning, they are indispensable skills for every child to master in the process of growing up, and only with these survival skills can we easily face the opportunities, challenges and tribulations of the future.

"Come and help!" Housework Helper" "I learned! Use the Encyclopedia for Your Child's Items" and "Go to School! Encyclopedia of Primary School Students' Preparation for School," "Will You Think About Others?" Four books for every child who will eventually learn to live independently
