How to teach a child to help?


How to teach a child to help? The kid tries to help around the house and mom's response: "don't bother! Go play". Isn't it better to teach a child to be desired?



Our mistakes


How often I hear from grandparents angry comments about the boy (or girl) is not yet grown, and parents already let them fill the bed or wash the Cup.




How often we deny the kid to do some simple work, even despite his strong desire to help parents. Sometimes it comes to scandal. It is clear that the mother is easier and faster to do everything itself, but what we want from a grown child, when instead of joy from helping in his mind only the bitterness of resentment, because he wanted the best...





Questions without answers


Still the progress is not in place, seducing young and impatient parents all kinds of plastic wonder-toys: plates, illuminated, emitting the sounds of cooking food, washing machines, Ironing boards, irons with rosettes, scales, products similar to the real... Themselves in such a game interesting. All well and good, but where is the knowledge of the world, which is not given so much time?




All this bright synthetic world is good and even very good, but for those places where you can keep track of young experimenters simply not physically possible: in kindergarten, Playground, in school, in the yard. But such toys, as a rule, able to captivate your baby only for a short time. Moreover, they do not provide any practical skills and, frankly, do not teach anything.




Because if you look at, toy hissing sausages can't warm up or nagovoritsya. While to learn how to cook them?




Underwear may not be spoiled overheated toy iron. Then how to guess which point corresponds to the desired tissue type?




Plastic screwdriver to screw a single screw, and plastic saw, you can cut except that sand buildings. While it makes daddy?




Can you provide the child the opportunity through the game to explore the world? With us, the adults.





Proven methods


If you think for a second, then everything that is actively trying to impose on us the modern industry of baby products, we have at home. It should be only slightly adapt items for your child and to give it a little time and attention. Do not see how from inept kid "hatch" a good helper around the house, able to ease your daily chores.





The action plan


1. Do not buy a toy cleaner. Yes, he "almost real" (but expensive). But the house has a modern unit, so easy to use that a child can do it without problems.




2. Let's dispense with the toy sinks. Of course, a little damp in the kitchen and a lot of foam in this sink is an integral satellites beginners. Yes only an extra bottle of funds dishwashing still is much cheaper toy kitchen area.




3. Learn the real iron. It's hard to believe that someone is not at home this household appliance. Of course, you should not start training Ironing with my mother's lace blouses or best father's pants, but that's handkerchiefs or scarf is fine for the first acquaintance with the iron.




4. Erase to erase! Needless to say about that blissful feeling that the child is experiencing, when something worthwhile will do it myself? What could be easier than to put clothes in the machine and press the desired button, and then long to see how cool your dresses and t-shirts behind the transparent drum. Do not deprive your baby of fun!




5. Masteron really. Repairs in the apartment or Villa for a long time can not wait, and once we decided that the Wallpaper it's time to glue and floors replaced, screwdriver, screws, brushes and glue can be useful helpers in the hands of small masters.




6. Learning to cook. Perhaps the most difficult task. But there are some simple points that you can start at any age. Peel boiled eggs, grate the carrots, stir the mayonnaise in the salad, smaknuti in the pan, spoon the dough for pancakes... And then harder and more interesting.





The result


With time you will suddenly realize that we have not ironed clothes themselves, and I don't stand over the soul of children, pointing, what temperature should be set.


- Cope with cleaning two times faster than before.


- Flowers are not watered for a hundred years and they are in full bloom.


Means for washing the dishes now goes a long way.


Forget to buy something in the shop it is impossible. Little owners, if anything, remind: porridge cooked in milk, and hot need the oil.





The opinion of the psychologist


Of course, to teach the child to manage, you need to sacrifice free time, which is never enough. You must have patience with which after a hectic working day problems too. But the result will not take long, will be pleasantly surprised and will continue for years to come.




And will not have dejectedly to shake her head and ask the grown child: "In whom you are so inept?! "or, "Why do you never help?! ". Don't need to be a difficult way is to first teach and then teach your son or daughter to help parents. Because since childhood for a child chores around the house were interesting and enjoyable game, which later turned into not less than pleasant experience - using parents.
