How to cultivate children's self-care ability, we should all know that children should do what they can. Nowadays, many children are the treasures of the family, and many things are unwilling to be done by themselves. So do you know how to cultivate children's self-care ability?
Ways to cultivate children's self-care ability 1 1. Parents must have the awareness of cultivating their children's self-care ability.
There are two main reasons why parents lack the awareness of cultivating their children's self-care ability. On the one hand, I feel sorry for my children, and I don't want to let them "suffer" for fear that they will accidentally bump into or touch them. On the other hand, parents are afraid of trouble. Some parents told me that if I have time to teach my child to do things, I will help him. A child's self-care ability is closely related to his sense of responsibility. If his parents don't give him proper education and training when he needs to take care of himself, he will lose his ability to be a man and can't feel his sense of responsibility to others, including his parents, from the height of his existing experience. Boys must think that since parents can do everything for themselves, they can naturally handle this anxiety and ignore it completely. In fact, this kind of parenting style that completely ignores children's self-care ability is harmful to children and parents themselves.
To cultivate children's self-care ability, we should start with letting children learn to do housework.
When parents cultivate their children's self-care ability, they should not only cultivate their children's ability to manage their daily lives, but also pay special attention to cultivating their children to learn to do housework. For example, let children make breakfast, wash socks, get milk, buy things, etc. Parents should be patient when telling their children to do housework, and encourage their children to take the initiative to help with housework. Parents should also let their children know that housework is finished, but they should cultivate their psychological quality of independence, diligence, firmness and responsibility and exercise their self-care ability.
Parents should give priority to encouraging and affirming their children.
Because children are young, low in understanding, inconsiderate and weak, some mistakes will inevitably occur in the process of doing things. Adults should not blame children for this, let alone punish them, but should first encourage them to do the right thing. Where children go wrong, we should help them analyze the reasons and find out the problems, so as to improve their skills and operational level. This kind of education can not only exercise children's self-care ability, but also greatly enhance their self-confidence and play a positive role in promoting their physical and mental development.
Method 2 (1) Cultivate children's self-care ability and give them the opportunity to explore.
Dressing, eating and walking should be handled by three or four-year-old children themselves, but parents often do it by themselves because their children are not good enough. Although this saves time and trouble, it is easy to form the habit of children's dependence and will bring great frustration to children. In the process of children's learning, don't rush to do things well for them, but give them the opportunity to understand feasible methods in the process of trial and error. Frustration is an inevitable emotion in the learning process. It is important to guide children and give them a chance to try, so as to accumulate experience, regain confidence and live freely even in the face of social changes in the future. Overprotected children may lack the ability to adapt to life.
(2) Allow children to explore.
Children are natural adventurers, and they are often very proud of their adventure, but their parents feel very dangerous and afraid, thus preventing them from taking risks. Resolutely stop or intimidate children's spontaneous behavior. Over time, the child may not dare to take the initiative, because the surrounding environment he feels is full of crisis, and what is more serious is that the child will lose curiosity and confidence in the environment. Some parents overprotect their children because of their fear experience, so they forbid them to do this and that. In fact, that fear is your own fear. Parents should be cautious about children's safety, but they should also allow children to explore with flexible scales. Parents often underestimate their children's abilities and think that children can't bear such great pain and frustration. In fact, the potential of children is amazing. As long as you give him a chance, he will open a sky in the thorny wilderness.
(3) Allow children the right to choose.
If we measure children's every move from an adult's point of view, we will not allow children to do this and that, which on the one hand inhibits children's independence, and on the other hand forces children to accept adult concepts and standards. Over time, children lose the ability of independent choice and independent thinking, and the decision of adults is the choice of children. Even when he grows up, everything about him is decided by others. Such a child will never be independent.
(4) Allow children to experience failure.
In the process of children's efforts to be independent, they will inevitably encounter setbacks and failures. At this time, children need the support of their parents most. Give him some encouragement and recognition, analyze the reasons for failure with your child, find ways to overcome it, and encourage your child to try again. In this way, even if the child can't solve the problem, the shadow on the mind can be alleviated and the unsatisfactory situation can be tolerated in the future.
Cultivate children's self-care ability
Once children aged 3-6 enter kindergarten, they enter a small society and need to have initial social adaptability, and the cultivation of children's social adaptability should start with the cultivation of children's self-care ability.
For children of this age, the basic self-care ability should include the following aspects:
(1) Take care of yourself when eating.
When children can eat with spoons, they can use chopsticks instead. At first, he could only use chopsticks to pull the rice entrance, and gradually learned to use chopsticks to pick up vegetables. When he was 4 years old, he would poke himself.
(2) Take care of yourself when you take off your clothes.
For children who are almost 3 years old, they can start dressing training, so that they can learn to wear unbuttoned clothes first, and then learn to unbutton them. In order to make learning to dress interesting and easy to learn, parents may wish to play the game of wearing a coat with their children. Here is a set of formulas. In the game, parents can read formulas to their children and practice with them at the same time: step one, dressing is very simple, and the coat should be flat first. The right collar is close to me, on both sides of the sleeve. Step 2: Put the left hand in the left sleeve and the right hand in the right sleeve. Step three, raise your hand and lean your head forward slightly. Back flip, pull it up and finish. In addition, a child can ask himself to learn to wear clothes, shoes and socks at the age of 4, learn to tie slipknot at the age of 5, and untie the knotted shoelaces at the age of 6.
(3) Self-care of personal hygiene.
Children like washing their hands very much. Parents can teach their children to wash their hands according to this feature. At first, they were trained to wash their hands with tap water and dry them with towels, and gradually developed to wash their hands with soap or hand sanitizer, and wrung out a small towel to wipe their hands. You can teach your child to brush his teeth when all his teeth have been pulled out. Don't use toothpaste yet, and the mouthwash must also be boiled water or pure water, and gradually let him get into the habit of brushing his teeth in the morning and evening. After the child learns to spit mouthwash, put some children's toothpaste on the toothbrush to brush his teeth. When the child is 5 years old, he can learn to wash some small things, such as his socks and handkerchiefs.
When cultivating children's self-care ability, parents should pay attention to the following points:
(1) Start from the child's experience and understanding level, and don't be harsh on the child. It is a child's nature to be lively and active, and it is a child's characteristic to take care of things around him incompletely. Some parents are used to imagining and looking at their children's world in their own way of thinking, so they put forward some excessive demands. When children can't do it, they will be put on lazy hats. Parents should also tell their children the necessity of doing things. Put forward specific requirements for children. Don't say "tidy your room", but say "put your book on the shelf" or "put your brush in the pencil box".
(2) Encourage more, don't scold and complain, and don't easily deprive children of the opportunity to take care of themselves. Children often feel fresh and curious about everything, and sometimes even enjoy it. So they will be eager to try or directly participate in many things, such as sweeping the floor and choosing vegetables. Parents often stop their children for fear that they can't do well. In this way, children will lose the opportunity to work and become lazy and dependent over time. When children show enthusiasm for work, parents must not throw cold water on them, but should encourage them with great enthusiasm. When children are upset because they don't do well enough, parents should patiently teach them specific methods and skills to make them learn faster and easier, and make them proud of their achievements. Try to show your child what he obviously can't do. For example, when you set the table, you can ask him to set chopsticks and spoons. As for the porcelain bowl, you can tell him that it will break when you drop it, and let him decide whether to take it or not.
(3) Don't let children give up halfway. Children do housework mostly out of curiosity at first, and when the novelty passes, or they always fail to do it well, they will get bored. If he wants to form a habit, he must rely on his parents' consistent persistence. There is no reason not to finish the housework that the child should do except that he is ill. If necessary, he can only be cruel, otherwise it will be difficult to last long. Especially when children are slow to respond at first, parents should first arrange enough time to wait patiently, and don't do it for their children because they are in a hurry.
(4) Kindergarten children are sometimes more active and diligent than at home because of the teacher's supervision and collective restraint. Parents can take advantage of this and work closely with teachers to educate each other.
(5) Give children special items and tools, and mark them with names and marks. This will not only make them more comfortable to use, but also improve their self-esteem and enthusiasm for work.
(6) Parents and children do housework together and talk while doing it, so that children can learn to imitate and feel cordial and happy. Parents should pay special attention to their role models. First of all, they should do housework well and leave a clean and tidy impression on their children.
Teach children the traffic rules.
A prominent problem brought by developed modern traffic is that speed hides danger. Among the children who die abnormally every year, the proportion of traffic accident deaths is quite high. Therefore, educating children on traffic rules is not only the need to cultivate children's social norms, but also related to the happiness and peace of every family.
There are many contents in the traffic rules, which are also rather boring. In order for children to understand and master, we must first make a choice and choose the most basic content that is more relevant to children's life practice. In the life experience of children at this age, the pedestrian safety code on the road is the main traffic code.
The first step in educating children about specific safety rules is to let them know these concepts:
Sidewalk-the place next to the road dedicated to people is called sidewalk.
Zebra crossing-The road is as black and white as the lines on a zebra crossing, and the place where pedestrians cross the road is called a zebra crossing.
Underground tunnel-the underground place for people to walk and cross the road is called underground tunnel.
Overpass-A bridge that stands in mid-air for people to walk and cross the road is called overpass.
These concepts are often seen by children in their daily lives, so it is not difficult to understand.
The basic content of child safety code education is:
(1) What should I pay attention to when walking on the roadside? Take the sidewalk. If there is no sidewalk on the roadside, take the right side, so that you can see the oncoming vehicles, which is safer.
(2) How to cross the road? You can use the underpass or overpass. If there is no underpass or overpass, it is safer to cross the road where there are traffic signs. Pay attention to the traffic signals. When the green round or herringbone light is on, both cars stop and cross the road. If you want to use the zebra crossing to cross the road, you must stop first, look around and make sure that there is no car coming before you can go.
(3) What else should I pay attention to when crossing the road? Don't cross the road when the green light flashes, wait until the next green light comes on. If you are halfway, the green light starts flashing, and you should pass quickly. Also, when crossing the road, you should hold the adult's hand tightly and take good things in your hand. You can't play while walking, so you can cross the road quickly and safely.
When parents educate their children on traffic rules, they should respect their age characteristics, entertain and educate them, and conduct them in vivid, vivid and interesting forms and activities. For example, cardboard is used to make traffic signals and roads, and then model cars and dolls are used to decorate street scenes, so that children can play and see which road is the safest. At the same time, following the principle of living, parents can take their children to the nearby roads for on-the-spot drills to demonstrate how to take underground passages and overpasses, or stop, watch the road and listen to the road at the intersection according to the instructions of traffic lights to ensure that the car stops before crossing the road.
