Hello everyone, today I want to talk to you about this "golden 1 hour before bedtime for children"!
I am often asked how to spend time with my children.
Some mothers can be said to be on call for their children, and their mothers will buy whatever their children want, and their mothers will try their best to meet everything their children want.
But the child still won't respect the mother, which makes the mother very troubled.
Why can't I be affirmed for my efforts all day and night?
I still want to say that high-quality companionship does not mean long-term companionship.
If you can catch the mystery period of "golden 1 hour before bedtime", then the child can also benefit for a lifetime.
Have you ever wondered how to use this short 60 minutes to sow the seeds of wisdom for your child's future?
Today, let's uncover this secret together.
Seize the "golden 1 hour before bed" to do 3 things, the child will benefit for a lifetime, and it is not too late to start
First things first: "small talk" with your child
Imagine sitting gently on the edge of your child's bed and starting to tell the story of the day in a soft voice or share each other's little secrets.
What was it like?
Some parents feel that what their children can say is not interesting.
Actually, it's not, the fairy tale world of children is really exciting.
Your child's eyes sparkle with curiosity, and their little hands may still be holding your fingers tightly.
In this process, you are not only passing on information, but also having an emotional exchange that goes deep into the bone marrow.
You will find that your child's thinking is much more mature than you think, and their questions may catch you off guard.
But it is these exchanges that allow children to learn to understand others and develop empathy, which is an indispensable quality in their future social interactions.
The second thing: "boast and boast" to the child
I remember that time, my niece performed a nursery rhyme on the small stage of the kindergarten, and although she did not sing it perfectly, her efforts and courage were commendable.
If your child also participates in the event, remember to praise him.
Before going to bed, you specifically mentioned the incident: "Baby, your performance in kindergarten today was awesome, and Mommy was very proud to see you standing on the stage. ”
At this time, the child's face will bloom with a bright smile, they may not fully understand the meaning of "excellent", but the recognition and encouragement from their parents is enough for them to remember.
Studies have shown that children who are praised regularly are able to master more skills and develop their brains better.
This positive feedback is the cornerstone of a child's self-confidence.
On the road of growth, they will encounter various challenges and difficulties, and every encouragement you give them is the motivation for them to keep moving forward.
Therefore, parents praise their children more before going to bed, and the children will really be very happy!
The third thing: reading
Professor Li Meijin once said: "If preschool children can listen to their parents read bedtime stories, this will indirectly affect the children's academic performance and grades after school. ”
Choose a good book that is appropriate for your child's age and interests, flip through it at the bedside, and you'll find out what a wonderful way to interact with your child.
You pick up a carefully selected children's book, turn the pages, and start tonight's bedtime storytime.
The child's eyes are immediately drawn to the pictures in the book, and their breathing becomes smooth and deep.
Reading not only broadens children's horizons and enriches their imagination, but more importantly, it teaches children how to understand and feel the emotions and philosophies behind words.
In the sea of stories, children learn to persevere and be brave, and they begin to understand the value of friendship, love, and sacrifice.
Reading not only broadens children's horizons and enriches their knowledge, but more importantly, it can develop children's concentration and memory.
Moreover, reading time before going to bed can also become a warm memory created by you and your children, so that they can also feel the power of knowledge and the warmth of family affection in their dreams.
Epilogue:
This hour, although short, is extremely precious.
It is the bridge of emotional communication between you and your child, and it is the best time for you to educate and guide your child.
In this moment, you can let go of all identities and shackles, become a pure parent, share happiness with your children, face difficulties together, and grow together.
So, no matter how busy your day is, no matter how tired you are, be sure to grab this "golden 1 hour before bed".
Use your companionship, your care, and your wisdom to open the child's "life accelerator" mode.
