This mom is awesome! Children learn so much from stories told over a small meal

If we just say \”the best education is in the family\”, it is a bit vague and does not have clear direction to specific events. When I first started reading parenting books like crazy, I was also confused. Later, after I developed the habit of going out and learning from others anytime and anywhere, I discovered that those attentive mothers always educated their children without leaving any trace, every move, every move, every meal. For example, I took Zhe to visit the Police Museum, and when I took a taxi back, I went to eat at a restaurant near my home. I was lucky enough to sit next to a mother and son, and witnessed with my own eyes how the mother guided her child during the one-hour meal. Let your children order food and cultivate their feelings of caring for others. We sat down at about the same time. In order to rush for time, I ordered things for two people in three clicks, five by two, and in the meantime, the children looked at the picture book I had prepared. As for the mother and son next to me, the first thing the mother said when she got the menu was: \”××, how about we each order a dish and a drink each?\” The child nodded and said cutely: \” Mom comes first, girls first.\” During the ordering process, the child was interested in a certain dish and asked his mother what it was, and her mother patiently explained it. Turning to a page, she said a little excitedly: \”Wow, ××, this is your favorite garlic broccoli. Mom is not very hungry today, so I will order what you like to eat.\” The child immediately said \”Thank you, Mom\”. When it was his turn to order, he reciprocated by ordering the lotus pond stir-fry that his mother loved. While waiting for the food to be served, the mother and son chatted. The mother asked the child if he knew what his father\’s favorite food was. The child answered quickly and said it was \”braised pork.\” The mother then asked the child what his grandma liked to eat. If the child couldn\’t answer, the mother would prompt him to think about what dish his grandma ate the most during previous dinner parties. After being reminded by his mother, the child thought of \”roasted duck\” and said that if he had a meal with his grandma again, he would definitely order this dish for her. Before eating, letting your children order food not only calms them down, but also gives them a sense of participation and helps them learn \”dinner table philosophy\” from an early age. And letting children observe the preferences of people around them in detail can help them become warm men. Meet the needs of others while considering the needs of others. Mathematics Enlightenment When the child asked for some Arctic Ocean, the mother asked: \”Do you really want to drink it?\” The child thought for a while and said, \”Not particularly.\” Then, the mother began to guide the child to pay attention to the price of the soda (6 yuan), and then Ask the child if he knows that if he goes to a small supermarket to buy a bottle, it only costs 3 yuan. Then ask the child how many bottles can he buy for 6 yuan? The child thought for a moment and said, \”Two bottles.\” The mother smiled and said, \”I can get a refund of 5 cents for one glass bottle. How much can I get for two bottles?\” This time the child answered quickly: \”1 yuan.\” The mother continued to guide. : \”Now think about it, if we spend 6 yuan here, we can only buy one bottle. How many bottles can we buy at home? How much money can we get back?\” Two-step continuous calculation, for children around 5 years old It was a little difficult, and the child only answered 2 bottles. Mom patiently explained the remaining piece. In the end, the mother ordered a cup of red bean and barley water for 14 yuan for her child, because \”we don\’t often make it at home, so we try to find fresh things to order when we go out.\” A simple bottle of drink, this mother gave it to her child without leaving any traceZi enlightened the concept of mathematics, and also guided financial management, frugality, self-control and curiosity. Social and loss prevention guidance When eating, the mother occasionally says, \”You need to pick up vegetables from the side closest to you when eating.\” After the meal, there is porridge that needs to be packed, and the mother lets the child handle it. Seeing the uncle next to him shouting \”waiter\”, the child also walked to the aisle and shouted to a waiter: \”Waiter, pack.\” The mother quickly corrected: \”You can walk to him and call the waiter aunt in a low voice.\” The child is very cooperative, and it seems that he has formed a habit. When he is called \”waiter aunt\” or \”service uncle\”, the waiter will also feel the respect from the innocence in his heart, right? After getting the lunch box, the mother and her child packed it together. The child accidentally spilled the food, and the mother did not blame her. She just handed over a meal sticker and asked the child to clean the tabletop and the outside of the lunch box. The two stood up and naturally pushed their chairs under the table. Just when I thought they were leaving, my mother did another \”unexpected\” thing. She squatted down and said to the child: \”Hey, should we check if there is anything dropped on the table, chairs and the ground?\” The little boy immediately checked carefully and found his mother\’s \”lost\” handbag on the table. . Their actions also taught Zhe a vivid lesson in loss prevention. After we finished eating that day, he followed the example of the little brother and carefully checked our tables and chairs.
