How does mother teach children to put their toys back?

It is necessary for Bao Ma to teach children to put their toys back, which is the cultivation of living habits.

Since it is the cultivation of habits, it takes time. We can't worry. Take your time. We can go in three steps.

1. Teach children to do it.

I used to think it would be easy to remind children to return to their places. But what adults think is simple may not be simple for children.

Once, when I came home, I found my house in a mess. In a rage, I made a fire with my child and said to him, "You must put away your toys, or I will throw them all away when you don't need them."

After a while, when I came back to read it, I found that the children were really sorting out toys and picture books. All toys are thrown into the storage box; These books are piled together, but they are uneven. The child looked at me with a wronged face: mom, I can't do it.

I realized how difficult it is for children to do what I think children are born to do.

Demonstration is the first step for children to do a good job.

Take the children to do it.

Just because children can do it doesn't mean children can do it. We will find that the books we have finished reading are still on the ground, and the toys we have played have not yet returned to their places.

For example, I told my children, "This semester, our goal is to form a good habit: finish homework and put the books back in the bag." The child nodded in agreement. However, after finishing his homework, he ran to play and never went back to his place.

In the early stage of habit formation, we need to accompany our children to put things back, which can reduce the difficulty of returning them and help them form habits.

remind

After the habit is formed, children occasionally forget it. At this time, what we have to do is not to get angry and remind the children: What have we not done? What's wrong with the table? Children can know fairly well and do it at once.

What needs to be paid attention to in this link is: reminding rather than accusing.

At first, I didn't pay attention to my tone. I put the child back in his place. The child was very uncooperative and used procrastination against me. Later, after I changed my attitude and statement, my children were willing to accept my reminder.

I'm Chen Xiaohui, and I will walk with you on the way of raising children.
