Parents in China attach great importance to their children's intellectual development, but they don't know that the core of intelligence is thinking ability, and thinking activities cannot be separated from practical activities. When children overcome the difficulties in labor, solve the problems in labor, and see the fruits of their own labor, they will get the joy of success, thus further stimulating their curiosity, improving their interest in learning and promoting their intellectual development. Labor education is extremely important for children's future, and parents should not underestimate it.
Parents are teachers of family education, and the key to carrying out labor education is that parents should get out of the misunderstanding and establish a new concept of family education. Parents should make full use of their children's daily life and teach them to help themselves, such as learning to clean the room, wash clothes, pack their schoolbags, and learn to mop the floor. I understand the truth of doing things myself.
Second, lead by example and influence children by example.
Parents should guide their children to work life education, not only verbally persuasion and preaching, but also hands-on. In a family, parents should show the courage to undertake housework. For example, when eating, dad can say to mom:? You've cooked hard enough, so I'll take care of everything after dinner. ? This reflects the spirit of taking the initiative to undertake housework between elders. Under the influence of this family atmosphere, children will gradually learn from their parents the good qualities of understanding others and loving labor.
Third, innovative ways to make children fall in love with labor.
It is very important for parents to create opportunities and environment for their children's labor practice. Parents can let their children share housework according to their age. Children in the lower grades are curious and imitative, and they all like to help their parents share housework. You can dress yourself, tie a red scarf, pack your schoolbag or study jiaozi. Although it is not beautiful, they think it is particularly delicious.
In addition to housework, parents can lead their children to participate in some public welfare work. For example, planting trees in spring, adults take their children to the suburbs to plant trees, telling them how to plant trees and what are the benefits of planting trees, so that children will do it seriously and feel how glorious it is to plant trees.
Fourth, make plans to make family work a habit.
To cultivate children's good work habits, it is not enough to rely solely on interest, freshness and enthusiasm for work. Parents make housework plans according to the actual family situation or children's preferences, and arrange some fixed jobs for their children. For example: take bowls and chopsticks before eating; Clear the table and take out the garbage after meals every day; Get up every morning to make the bed and fold the quilt. In the senior stage, children can also learn to tidy up the room, so that the shoes under the bed are put in a line, the things on the bed are put in a line and the towels are hung in a line. Let the family labor plan become the norm, let the norm become the habit, and let children gradually improve their comprehensive qualities such as practical ability, social responsibility and innovative spirit in life and labor education.
