Summer vacation suggestions for parents from kindergartens: Five steps to develop children’s self-care ability

Children\’s self-care ability is the first step in children\’s independent development and has a significant impact on their physical and mental health, self-confidence, sense of responsibility, and problem-solving abilities. During the long summer vacation, how do we cultivate children\’s self-care ability? Let’s share with parents the five-step process for cultivating children’s self-care abilities and help them develop good living habits! 01 Parents please learn to be \”lazy\”. Many parents feel that it is too tiring to take care of their children. They have to do everything by themselves, chase their children to pack toys, and are busy every day. Their children become lazier and lazier, as if they are getting older. The younger they get… In fact, as long as parents learn to be \”lazy\” and let their children learn to do many things by themselves, and let them try, the situation will immediately improve. Within the scope of ensuring safety, give children the opportunity to try it out, and the happiness brought by success can be doubled~ Don’t rush your children to take a long time or slow down the pace. Patient guidance is definitely better than doing it all! In this way, parents can save a lot of worry and effort as their children grow up. 02 Parents are asked to learn to \”plan\” during the holidays. It is best for parents to help their children make a holiday plan or daily schedule to make full use of every day\’s time to make this time more meaningful. Children start from getting up every day, and they need to complete things on their own: dressing, washing, going to the toilet, eating, sorting books and toys, etc. In addition to these basic self-care contents every day, children in middle and large classes can also help their parents do what they can. For example: washing handkerchiefs, setting dishes and chopsticks, washing fruits, watering flowers, etc. Parents will formulate these \”small tasks\” into the plan, so that the children not only have something to do, but also exercise their self-care ability, killing two birds with one stone. 03 Parents please learn to \”encourage\”. When parents let their children try to learn everything, please give them enough patience and encouragement. Don’t think that children are stupid if they can’t do these things that are easy for adults. We must comply with the laws of children’s physical and mental development. On the road to cultivating children’s self-care ability, please don’t be stingy with your own “encouragement” so that children can be more capable. Have confidence and courage to accomplish these things! 04 Parents, please learn to be \”fearful of difficulties\”. We have all heard some children say something like this to their mothers: \”Mom, I will protect you.\” Why do children say such words? Because in their eyes, they can do anything and protect their mother. Therefore, when parents show \”fear of difficulties\”, many children will want to use their own strength to help their parents. If parents want their children to do something, they can appropriately show \”fear of difficulty\” and pretend that they can\’t complete it. In fact, this is to give the child an opportunity to exercise. When the child helps the parent complete the task, At that time, the child was very proud. For example: when parents pack up the clean clothes, they can say to their children: Baby, let’s have a competition to see who can fold them quickly and well. During the competition, if parents deliberately slow down for fear of difficulty, the child will There is a chance to \”win\” the parents. In fact, in the process of \”fearing difficulties\” in this kind of competition, the \”impossibility\” of the parents becomes the \”possibility\” of the children. 05 Parents please learn to “persist” in cultivating children’s self-care ability. It is not something that can be completed in a few days.A long-term and continuous training process is required. If parents cannot consistently adhere to their own education methods, then no education will be effective. Good habits require long-term cooperation from the home to help children gradually form them. Therefore, parents are asked to adhere to the regular education in synchronized kindergartens, and do not do everything just because they dote on their children or think that their children are slow in doing things. The ability to be independent is a very important ability for any child. This summer vacation, parents should let go at the right time and let their children do it on their own. Give children the conditions to exercise on their own, and let them complete some things within their capabilities. As long as they accumulate a certain amount of time and change from quantitative to qualitative changes, the child\’s independent ability can be improved. I believe that with the correct education from parents, children\’s independence will be improved and they will have a meaningful summer life. Teachers look forward to seeing the children\’s progress and growth after school starts!
