Parents must not ignore their children's mental health, and their children's intelligence level is reflected in these aspects. Solving problems and cultivating abilities are the development goals of many children. Let's work together to make children have more possibilities. Below I share four small ways to cultivate your baby's boldness and caution.
Four small ways to cultivate baby's boldness and prudence 1 1. Self-reliance training began at an early age.
Parents in the United States are different from those in China. They will let the children sleep alone when they are babies, and of course, the children will sleep with their parents. At this time, parents did not let their children sleep with them, but tried their best to let their children live in a room alone without fear. The measures they take include letting a big shirt with parental breath accompany the child, letting the child's cloth bear accompany him, or opening a nightlight to let the child sleep peacefully. The training for children to eat independently starts from 6 or 7 months.
You can see the baby's hands and even feet holding a bottle to drink water like a cute koala; Or sit in a baby chair and eat complementary food with a spoon or even hands, making your face covered with pig liver mud and corn paste. For the sake of children's independence, American parents would rather let their children dirty the table and the ground. Even if children get their faces and clothes dirty, parents won't help their children eat. We must let them learn the ability to eat independently.
2. Teach children to use tools
What gifts do people like for their birthdays? In China, most children and men like toys like Transformers, while women like dolls. But in the United States, the favorite birthday present for boys aged 4 ~ 14 is a "toolbox", which contains "children's versions" of hand saws, planers, screwdrivers, pliers and various screwdrivers. Parents teach their children the use and performance of these tools, so that children can master the operation essentials and help them repair broken toys or small items at home. American parents believe that a child who has no chance and desire to start working since childhood will not be creative. American parents don't think about whether these tools are dangerous to their children, but let them know how to use them, which will eliminate their fear of tools and make good use of them.
Why do children use dangerous household appliances when they are five or six years old? Of course, in China, it is rare to use household appliances at this age, but in the United States, parents of children should teach their children to use household appliances with certain risks, such as gas, electric stoves and washing machines. , fully satisfy their desire to try, and children know how to use electrical appliances, and can help parents reduce the burden of housework in the future.
3. Teach children to adapt to the environment
Parents in China won't let their children play outside in winter, because they are afraid that their children will be frozen and cold, but in winter in the United States, most American families will take their children out skiing, and parents will teach their children to judge the depth and sliding speed of snow according to the direction of the hillside; At each turning point and "forced landing point", it is judged whether there will be a "rear-end collision" of people with faster sliding speed behind. Some young skiers were also taken out by their parents for "night skating" and taught to judge the direction of the slide by observing the starry sky.
When traveling, parents will let their children observe the water potential of the mountain stream and teach them to find the shallowest and slowest wading point so that they can pass safely on foot. When going up the mountain, they will not let their children take the cable car, but teach them to look at the map and choose the climbing route, and decide whether to bring protective ropes and crutches and enough food and drinking water according to the route. After many exercises, children gradually develop the ability to be bold and cautious, so why do we all say that Americans are adventurous? This has been cultivated since childhood.
4. Teach children to protect themselves
What will you teach your child to do when he is 2 or 3 years old? American parents teach their children to watch red lights, cross the street and how to drive correctly, and also tell them to remember the telephone numbers of police stations and fire stations. When children grow up to 4 or 5 years old, teach them how to save themselves and call for help in emergencies such as fire and swimming cramps by playing DVD and role-playing games. These trainings are still very important to me, to cultivate children's ability to calmly deal with danger and try their best to ensure their own safety in an emergency.
Tip: There are four ways to cultivate your baby's boldness and caution. From the above, we know that there are many differences between American parents and China parents, so why should we say that American children are characterized by strong hands-on ability and courage? These are all cultivated since childhood. I hope parents in China can also learn from the way American parents educate their children.
Four small ways to cultivate your baby's boldness and prudence 2 How to cultivate your child's carefulness?
1, don't criticize in a hurry.
Some parents make a hullabaloo about when they see their children doing something wrong carelessly, which does not produce good results, but makes their children have unhealthy psychology. Parents and teachers always think that children are careless because they don't care, but it's not entirely true. Many children are very concerned about their grades. Faced with papers with unsatisfactory grades, they often say, "It's all because of carelessness!" " "It seems that you can escape the responsibility of failing the exam and forgive yourself with a clear conscience. In fact, the failure in the exam is not because of carelessness, but more because the knowledge is not detailed enough. At this time, parents should teach their children to face this problem seriously, let them ask themselves to "get it right once" when doing their homework at ordinary times, and be good at summing up experience after the exam. If they persist in this way, the situation of losing points in the next exam due to carelessness will be greatly reduced.
2. Cultivate children's meticulous habits in the details of life.
Let children develop meticulous habits, starting from daily life and paying attention to details. You can learn from Franklin and train repeatedly. You can only focus on correcting a bad habit for a period of time, and then start the next bad habit correction training after the corresponding good habit is formed. Gradually, let care become a child's thinking habit.
3. Let children develop the habit of checking homework.
After the children finish their homework, parents should not help check it, and should not point out and correct the mistakes as soon as they are found. Otherwise, children will be more careless and make more and more mistakes in their homework. Parents should let their children check their homework and let him find the mistakes caused by carelessness. After the children are checked out and corrected, parents should praise them in a timely and exaggerated way: "We are really amazing."
4. Cultivate children's ability to find mistakes.
Parents can deliberately make some mistakes in the process of tutoring their children, or in their daily behavior, such as deliberately saying some common sense or poetry, to test whether their children can find mistakes. When a child discovers the mistakes of his parents or teachers, he will think it is a great thing, and he will gradually and consciously discover the mistakes in his learning process.
