How to train children to do housework

When giving a demonstration to your son, talk less. If you just talk, my son will not look at what my hand is doing, but at what my mouth is saying.

★ Start from the housework that my son is easy to get started. Praising him is more effective than constructive criticism.

It is very important for my son to understand his point of view. If he thinks I'm not satisfied, he may not do it.

★ Don't do what your son did: If you tell your son, "You cleaned the stove really clean", but you immediately turn around and do it again, it's sending a mixed message, and he won't know whether he did it well or not. It doesn't matter even if his work is not perfect. It is important that a son should be responsible and proud of his contribution to the family.

★ Choose vegetables, cut vegetables and stir-fry: Let the son participate together, from selecting vegetables to washing vegetables, let the son know that the vegetables he eats need to go through these steps before eating, and then cut vegetables. Finally, of course, cooking. Although I only did it twice, my son did it well. )

★ Taomi Cooking: From the moment I opened the rice jar and told my son how much to scoop, my son and I were involved. When washing rice, tell him that the water can be used for other purposes besides washing rice (of course, these sons know better than me), so that their sons can not only participate in housework, but also learn a lesson of saving.

★ Sweep the floor and clean the table: First find a special rag and mop for my son, and let him try to do housework. Sometimes I teach my son how to do it, so that he can clean the table and floor.

★ Drying clothes, collecting clothes and folding clothes: I sometimes ask him to help me with the clothes hanger when drying clothes, and I will take the clothes to dry; Sometimes let him hang clothes by himself. When collecting clothes, he is sometimes asked to fold them by himself.

Skills of encouraging children to do housework

1. The purpose should be clear.

The purpose of letting children do housework is not simply to do one thing, such as how to tidy the room, clean the room and take out the garbage. Instead, cultivate children's sense of responsibility, self-esteem, self-confidence and the ability to live independently. Parents should not regard letting their children do housework as dispensable. Children will do it if they are interested, but they won't do it if they don't want to. This is not good. Do some housework as a routine "work" for children, persevere and don't give up halfway.

2. Start education at an early age.

Almost from the moment he was able to go to the fields, the child had a strong desire to help his mother. Two-year-old children can do some housework and are willing to help their mothers. Therefore, parents should pay attention to guidance from the age of two. At first, children can take cleaning as an entertainment activity and gradually form a habit. Never stop or prevent children from participating because they are not doing well, so as not to dampen their budding enthusiasm for work. Parents can accompany their children to do some housework and teach them some labor skills and principles. Let children do housework step by step as they grow older, and don't rush to make children proud of things beyond their ability. Parents should not tell their children what to do when they are doing housework. Even if doing housework damages something, don't point fingers, just remind you to pay attention next time. However, children must be praised in time for their progress.

Don't coax children into doing housework with money.

Don't use money to coax children into doing housework, but let them turn housework into a voluntary action. The best reward for children's labor is to praise, hug, kiss or say thank you in front of others.

Ways to make children like doing housework.

1. Change yourself and learn to accept children.

Each of us has shortcomings in one way or another, and so do children. Don't always stare at children's shortcomings, learn to find their advantages and tolerate them. Everyone is not perfect. Since we can accept our imperfect selves, why can't we accept imperfect children?

2. Don't discourage children, and don't say "No! No! "

Every child is a born little explorer. Explorers always have a curious heart for new things, which is very valuable. When children begin to be interested in something, we shouldn't always say "No! No! " Instead, we should stop and accompany our children to explore new things.

Don't say "stupid, not smart" to children, encourage them more.

IQ may be important, but IQ is innate and we can't change it. In this case, we have to accept it and understand it ourselves. Why should children know? Stupid children may have to try the same thing many times, but we can't blame them for this, or even scold them for being useless! What we have to do is to accompany him patiently and give him encouragement and support when he fails! We should let our children know that failure is not terrible, but that we have lost confidence in ourselves! If you fail once, try again, and you can do it by trying!

Don't be stingy with praise for children, learn to praise.

I believe many people like to listen to compliments, and children are no exception! The child has done something and should be praised. This is an affirmation of the child's achievements. Praise will give children a sense of accomplishment and increase their enthusiasm! Of course, praise should be about style, not praise blindly. What we want to praise is that the child can accomplish something independently, praise the act of accomplishing it or praise his efforts, not praise the child himself. For example, we should praise the child "Wow, you put on pants yourself, that's great", instead of saying "You are smart to put on pants yourself"!

5. Learn to be lazy and let children participate in housework.

In our daily life, we should learn to be lazy. For some small things, let the children do as much as possible, and let them feel that they are what we need and that they are valuable. For example, when sweeping the floor, children can be asked to help with the dustpan, and when pinching green beans, they can be asked to pinch together, so that children can experience the fun of doing housework in constant daily experience.

6. Treat your child as a friend, and don't talk to your child in a commanding way.

When we get along with children, we should learn to respect them and treat them as friends. When we need him to do something, we should not say it in a commanding tone, but should use the same position! For example, we need children to carry slippers. We can say, "Baby, can you do me a favor and get me a pair of slippers?" Put yourself in others' shoes. If you are a child, your parents say to you, "Baby, go and get my slippers!" " Which way of speaking makes you feel more comfortable?
