Skills training children to do housework


First, understand the real goal. The purpose of doing household chores to children is not only tedious work is to do a good job, or to teach children "how to do it." The importance of the kitchen clean, compare child development responsibility, self-reliance, self-esteem, confidence and ability, because they are a healthy emotional foundation. Housework can help children understand the people must cooperate and work toward common goals.
Second, start early. Almost from the children learn to walk, it will lead to "help the mother" a strong desire, a 2-year-old children can pick up and deliver something for the adults, and even order has laundry, can teach children to distinguish colors fly and shape. You can clean sweep into the game. 4 years or 5 years old child can understand simple commands and for adults to do a little business, but also expect him to (sometimes) will pack up their toys, clothes, or side to go to find their own dishes. 7-year-old has been able to afford a little family responsibilities. The first assignment of their work to be done, it is best that they can do satisfactory work, do not hurry to be beyond the capacity of the child to do his thing. For children to challenging new tasks, but also must be able to give him a sense of achievement, if the new task that he did depressed discouraged, he will probably will not try again.
Third, set realistic standards. Although most children do better than adults do better. You have to restrain yourself to do or "do it once" action, because this will only damage the child's self-esteem and confidence.
Teach children to do a job the best way is to do so he repeated. He demonstrates how to do first, and then do with him and let him to do. To provide guidance at any time, but do not intervene too quickly to help. Children according to their own methods if you want to do, do not interfere.
This does not mean you can tolerate hasty. If the child did not try to do a good job, should he do, set a reasonable completion time, but not chatter endlessly. For example, dinner time is up, but dishes not gracefully, we must solemnly told the children, others are waiting to eat.
Fourth, do not use the inducement. Children finish a job, the best reward is to give him a smile, hug him or what to say "thank you." The child can hear the scope of the proud to tell others how much you, is also a good way of remuneration. In fact, children will recognize themselves, plan and complete a task, a reward in itself. Do not bring pocket money to pay the way to him. If the meaning of the child when doing its part to give him money, not only with the temptation to imply, also contains the meaning of work itself has no value. If a child is rewarding his bed, he might think, every time he wears underwear should be paid.
5, support the "go out" work. Children participate in various activities to help the people, public activities, such as cleaning or delivering newspapers on behalf of others, help them learn the different standards for different people work, train them to self-reliance and a sense of responsibility.
6, not overwork. Children to do too much work, would prevent him from learning, physical growth and development and other social activities. Learn how to work is important, it is important that young age to develop good work habits and respect for labor, strong and independent view of the world. So, let the children work, must be appropriate.
