The most precious first gift in a child’s life must be given to him!

The early childhood stage is an important period for cultivating children\’s good habits. The famous educator Ye Shengtao said: \”It is better to develop good habits than to accumulate thousands of dollars.\” When it comes to cultivating children\’s good habits, I have suffered a loss with my son. The biggest headache for me since my son was young was his eating problem. Every time he ate, he either had to watch TV to feed him, or he had to be chased around the room to feed him. It is common to feed one meal for half an hour. Sometimes the food is too cold to be reheated. The most exaggerated time was when I steamed an egg for him and fed him from the house to the corridor; I chased him from the fifth floor to the first floor; then it started to rain lightly outside, and the raindrops dripped into the bowl, and I poured the steamed egg angrily. Now… now, at the age of six, I still have to be pushed by you to eat. After the two-child policy was relaxed, I gave birth to my second child. As soon as my girl was born, I made up my mind to focus on cultivating her good habits. For example, to cultivate her good habit of sitting at the dining table to eat, I consciously cultivated it from the following aspects. As soon as the girl knew how to sit, I put her in the dining chair. Although she couldn\’t eat many of the meals, I let her watch us eat and gave her a piece of steamed bun to nibble on and play with. When she is about one year old, give her a pair of bowls and chopsticks and some easy-to-operate meals so that she can learn to eat by herself. Seeing her struggling to pick up a spoonful of rice, I waited patiently for her to put it into her mouth, and praised and encouraged her in time. For meals at this age, I feed her and she learns to eat at the same time, instead of feeding her completely. To the child, it seems that eating has nothing to do with her. Let her practice by letting her understand that eating is her own business. After listening to this for about two years, the girl\’s dining habits have been cultivated. As soon as I called for dinner, she would habitually run to the dining table and sit down. In fact, there are also things to pay attention to when asking children to eat. Not just say bluntly: \”It\’s time to eat! Stop playing!\” but shout with induced emotion: \”Wow! The fragrant carrots are ready, the little rabbit is coming to eat!\” When you turn the command into a With such an interesting call, she came running happily, and eating became an interesting thing. When Bi was about three years old, I stopped feeding her, and the girl ate completely on her own, but the meal time took a little longer. At this time, I deliberately left a mouthful of rice in my bowl, waiting for her to finish it, and praised her: \”Ah, you eat faster than mom again! I have to work hard too.\” Then, I ate again. Just the last bite of rice. This gives her a sense of pride in eating faster than others. Of course, while waiting for an appointment, there would be times when she would play with toys and miss meals. I also had a trick, let her put the toy on the dining table instead of holding it in her hands, which would distract her. Then, I asked her to make a promise with the toy: \”I\’ll play with you after I finish eating.\” When she ate slowly, I gently reminded her: \”Look, the toy is waiting for you, don\’t let it wait. \”She ate quickly. Creating an Atmosphere Many parents are confused. Their children can eat well by themselves in kindergarten, but as soon as they get home, they have to be chased and fed by adults, urging them to eat. why? The reason is that the kindergarten has a good dining atmosphere. The children all sit at the table and eat well, and he can do it even if he is infected by it. And when I get home, maybe dad is watching TV and eating,If a mother eats while playing on her mobile phone, how can she ask her children to sit there and eat obediently? Japanese educator Yukichi Fukuzawa said: \”Family is a school of habits, and parents are teachers of habits.\” Therefore, create a positive dining atmosphere at home for your children from an early age. The family sits around the dining table and eats seriously. Children will unknowingly develop good dining habits through this kind of influence. There is a saying about habits: Habits are either the best servants or the worst masters. It is true that good habits will benefit you throughout your life and become a powerful force for your success. Bad habits are likely to be the accomplices of your failure, and you will be dominated by them. Leading by example and helping children develop good habits should be the first gift parents give to their children.
