What can you do on the way to school with your children and what are the benefits?

Mr. Chen has asked me many times: Why do you insist on sending your son to kindergarten by yourself every day? I see you are quite tired and have a tight time schedule in the morning. Wouldn\’t it be the same if my mother sent them to me? In fact, I don\’t want to sleep more, but sending my children to kindergarten or school every morning is a prime time to develop some work and rest habits. How can I be lazy at this time? After that, Mr. Chen stopped asking me, but my father-in-law and mother-in-law were still puzzled: If you get up in the morning and we pick you up, it’s the same thing. Just go to work and we’ll send the child to the kindergarten. We don’t have much time to do anything on the way. what? Let me tell you what you can do every morning when you send your children to kindergarten or school: 06:30 a.m. I get up at this time every day (I expect my children to go to elementary school earlier than 6 o\’clock) 06:30- 06:50 a.m. Do yoga for 20 minutes. This has been a habit for 12 years. 06:50 a.m. The way I wake up my child is to play music. The music should not be too harsh, and then open the curtains. My son will usually wake up at this time, and then He will lie in bed for a while 06:50-07:00 a.m. While my son is lying in bed listening to music, I will wash and put on makeup 07:00-07:10 a.m. If my son does not get up, I will rub him gently This condition mainly occurs in the ears and back of hands in winter (children will basically get up by themselves in summer). Because the weather is cold now, he will be a little moody after getting up, which is normal. I won\’t say anything, because he will calm down quickly on his own (mainly because he will definitely be anxious to go to the toilet first). Then he put on his clothes and turned over the quilt. 07:10-07:20 a.m. My son can brush his teeth and wash his face, including twisting the towel himself, drying the basin after washing his face, and returning the toothbrush and toothpaste. I will use this time to change my clothes and organize my bag. 07:20-07:25 a.m. My son will fold his quilt, put on his coat, and fold his pajamas. Then I helped him carry the folded quilt and put it on the bedside. 07:25-07:35 a.m. I leave this time for my son to play by himself (sometimes also for his procrastination). When the above things have been done, he will sometimes draw two strokes on the drawing board. Sometimes I go play Lego for a while. I use this time to post the morning news (that is, I need to post on WeChat for work). Note: All the above habits are developed step by step starting from the age of 2, and are basically developed by the age of 3 and a half. When encountering seasonal changes or special events, Be flexible and adjust when circumstances arise. In addition, there are two points that are implicit habit issues: 1. I generally don’t care much about my children’s occasional colds, and I won’t give my children medicine as soon as they feel a little uncomfortable, and I’m not allowed to make excuses not to go to kindergarten. 2. Before going to bed the night before, I will ask my son to prepare the clothes he will wear the next day and put them on the bedside. 3. Occasionally, you will find that you are suddenly unwilling to go to kindergarten. At this time, you must be patient, understand the child\’s true inner thoughts, and slowly guide the child to the point where he is willing to go to kindergarten. If you let the elderly send the childWhen going to school, many habits are basically difficult to develop, and may even be indulged into bad habits. 07:35 a.m. When I go out, I ask my son to throw away the garbage, and I continue to demonstrate to him: when going out of the gate, first look at the cars on the left and right, and why not rush around. This season, after taking out the trash, I run with my son to where we have breakfast. The breakfast shop is basically two and a half meters away from home. Exercise can help people warm up the body, and the kid himself is very happy to run like this. In this process, it is a good time to teach children traffic safety, rules when crossing the road, and emergency response. I have noticed that when many elderly people send their children to kindergarten/school, they either carry them on their backs, bicycles, motorcycles, or battery cars, or parents who are far away from home drive them. These actually destroy habits and deprive children of their right to physical activity. 07:45 a.m. I will let my son order food by himself. This is a good opportunity to encourage children to communicate with different strangers, and it is also a good time to teach children to count change. You can give him coins first, then change them into 5-yuan notes, then into 10-yuan notes, then 20, 50, and 100. After ordering, let the child take the receipt to find the seat, get the tableware, and give the meal. Waiter receipt. Then we agreed to play games for a while before breakfast (for example: use the clips on the table with seat numbers to do math games) at 08:00 a.m. Breakfast time is usually 15 minutes, and the meal time increases or decreases according to different months of age. 08:00-08:10 a.m. On the way to kindergarten after breakfast, don’t underestimate these 10 minutes. There is a lot to interact with your children. Here are some examples of what I usually do: 1. Sing children\’s songs, either Chinese or English, depending on what the child likes to sing or listen to. Generally, you can sing one children\’s song 3 times during this section. 2. You can chat about anything. chat. Talk about friends in kindergarten, teachers in kindergarten, games played in kindergarten 3. Storytelling is mainly to help children recall stories told in kindergarten, stories told at home, and bedtime stories 4. Interaction If the child does not want to talk on a certain day, Just walk to the kindergarten quietly and your child will talk to you. Even if you don’t understand, you must listen patiently and carefully to what the child says and respond. 5. Say goodbye. When you send your child to the kindergarten gate, tell your child how many days you will meet today. What time to get off work, what time to pick him up, maybe he has something to do today and needs to work overtime and will come back late, or he needs to go on a business trip and may return home in a few days, etc. (Since changing jobs, working overtime at night and traveling on weekends have basically disappeared. ) 08:20 a.m. After sending the children off, I go to work by bus. It usually takes 50 minutes on the road. Our company goes to work at 9:30 a.m. So there is a key factor in whether you can send your children to kindergarten/school by yourself: Parents\’ working hours and the distance between the company and home. Under the premise that this foundation is satisfied, all that remains is whether you are willing to get up earlier and whether you are willing to arrange time to send the children reasonably. From 6:30 to 8:00 in the morning, it seems like one and a half hours, but parents’ time is indeedNervous, but it can really bring many valuable things to children, the most important of which is: habits!
