Many parents will feel that infants and toddlers do housework is messy, and do not do well with the evaluation criteria of adults to constant, so do not allow infants and toddlers to do housework, when TA at the age of two years old especially likes to do housework, such as playing with water, washing dishes, washing socks, bathing, wiping the table, mopping the floor, but parents always excuse children do not do well, always underwriting the child is not allowed to do.

What are the effects of preventing children from doing housework?

First: TA will have low self-esteem psychologically, TA think they are incompetent, can not do these chores, no sense of achievement

Second: In this family, TA does not have a sense of ownership, TA feels that in this family TA is useless, and not involved in doing.

Third: TA will develop a kind of inaction, the habit of waiting, always waiting for the big to bring TA, so some children to three years old, let the adults to TA take things, whenever TA makes a "hmm hmm" sound, adults will quickly give TA to solve the problem, so the child inertia is formed, developed a very lazy habit, and then to junior high school, TA can be lazy study, very lazy life, then can not change. So from 0 to 6 years old, we should guide the child to do some housework, the instinct to do housework is what the original child has, as long as the parents allow it, the parents allow, will allow a strong child.

How to allow children to do chores?

First: start by practicing eating, let your child eat by himself with his hands, digging in with a spoon, even if TA gets it all over him.

Doing housework

Second: let the child wash their own hands, wash their face, and then a little older, around two years old, let the child put on their socks, wash their socks, put on their clothes, wash their face and brush their teeth, parents can do a demonstration next to them, but the eyes can not always stare at the child, to let go of the child boldly do, and affirm TA.

At about two and a half years old, the child can brush the dishes, wipe the table, sweep the floor, mop the floor, take out the garbage, and fold the clothes, parents are like playing a game to teach TA, the baby's housework is to play TA as a game, TA does not feel tired, and enjoy it, TA will repeatedly give Dad to cover the quilt, repeatedly give Mom to get slippers, TA feels a very happy, very happy thing. It is because parents give the concept that doing housework is tiring and bad that it affects the child.

When the child is three years old, let the child bathe himself, learn to cook simple meals, will choose vegetables, wash vegetables, and will insist on washing dishes, there should be a chore in the family always belong to the child, such as taking out the garbage, or wiping the table, and continue, it will become a thing that must be done in TA's life, sometimes it is difficult not to do, so in the 0 to 6 years old is also the training of housework, training labor, habits The key period is also a critical period for planting seeds.

By the age of four, TA should be taught to do some pasta, such as baking cakes, baking cakes, but also can be fried simple dishes, parents do a good job of protection measures can be, will use the washing machine, will dry clothes, put away clothes, will clean up their room, toys, books, etc. can do.

When children are five years old, they can develop the habit of doing housework independently, what will five-year-old children do? The TA will manage himself, including washing and brushing, taking a bath, and dressing. The organization and storage of clothes, washing feet, and sleep are to master themselves, completely put to the child, so that the child's self-care ability to develop, can survive independently, self-confidence, TA will dare to face the social things because TA knows they can solve their own can do, so the development of strong social adaptability and strong interpersonal skills, and in a team. In kindergarten is a small leader, because TA will TA have leadership in everything.

On the contrary, if we do not teach our children to do chores from the age of 0 to 6, children with poor self-care skills will have low self-esteem and be very introverted in kindergarten, afraid to interact, afraid to be a leader, have no opinion, always follow the clouds and always listen to others. So, we have raised a slave child.

So what is the significance of doing housework?

First, to develop an independent personality

Second, to develop the habit of diligence.

Third, to develop the child's self-confidence and social skills

Fourthly, to let the child achieve a sense of achievement and value, to influence TA to achieve through efforts and actions

Fifth, TA can have a sense of ownership in the family, TA can take charge, TA can help parents to solve their problems, so, in the family TA is a sense of existence, TA a sense of responsibility, to society, TA can also take charge, become a responsible person in society
