As the saying goes, "At the age of three, you see the age of seven." Before the age of three, children were ignorant and cute, curious about everything, and knew very little about words such as "good" and "bad", "dangerous" and "safety". Even if parents repeatedly emphasize "doing this is good for you", "doing that is not good for you", "picky food is not good for your health, you should eat well", etc., the child cannot fully understand your rules and warnings.
And 3-6 years old is the golden period of growth. Parents must seize this critical moment and help their children develop good behavioral habits.
lists the 8 good habits to develop below. Parents must remember to collect them.
1. Good work and rest habits.
Sleep plays a key role in the development of children's brain. If a child can develop good working and rest habits at the age of 3-6, he will not wake up for a long time when he sleeps at night and better enjoy the benefits of health; he will also be energetic and have stronger concentration during the day.
Parents can set up a good bedtime ceremony for their children. For example, first tell him a picture book story, then kiss his forehead and say "good night" to him. Let the child calm down before going to bed and not allow him to make a fuss.
If the child is awakened by a nightmare in the middle of the night, parents should hug the child and tell the child with a peaceful attitude that he just had a dream and nothing big happens, soothe the child to continue to fall asleep.
If the child is not awakened by a nightmare in the middle of the night, he does not want to sleep. Parents should gently and firmly tell their children that they need to continue to fall asleep, so that they can understand that sleeping is unrelated.
3-6 years old need to cultivate children to develop good working and rest habits, go to bed early and get up early, and prepare for going to elementary school later.
2. Brush your teeth in the morning and evening.
brushing teeth may seem like a small thing, but it plays a crucial role in the oral health of 3-year-old children.
caries is a common problem for physical examinations for children aged 3 to 6 years old.
A friend told me, "" Her child has become tooth decayed , and has taken the child to fill his teeth. "My first reaction is, how can a child who is only 4 years old have tooth decay? I feel a little scared when I think of tooth filling tools being removed in the mouth. Can a 4-year-old child not be afraid?
Some parents think that their children start changing teeth at at around 6 years old, so it doesn't matter if they have tooth decay before the age of 6. Although this is the case, the health and hygiene problems of children's teeth in must develop a good hygiene habit when they are young, which will benefit for life.
4-year-old children have tooth decay, which must be because they do not brush their teeth properly. Parents must teach their children to brush their teeth when they are 3-6 years old and develop the good habit of brushing their teeth in the morning and evening.
Maybe the child cannot brush their teeth clean at this time. Parents should check their children's teeth frequently to avoid damage to their teeth due to unclear brushing.
3. Picture book reading.
Good reading habits need to be cultivated from an early age. Picture book reading is to cultivate reading habits. The best way.
children's picture books not only have fewer texts, but also do not feel boring when children read them. Moreover, children's picture books have a strong sense of picture books, which not only stimulates children's curiosity, but also leaves enough room for imagination for children.
4. Learn to organize.
3-year-old children have started kindergarten. Parents should teach their children to organize and summarize.
cultivate children's sorting habits. Parents can start from the following three aspects :
- schoolbag is organized by yourself.
- toys are classified and placed neatly.
- own clothes are folded by yourself.
At first, it may be difficult for children to organize, and mothers can guide and organize with their children. When children learn to organize by themselves, mothers should let go in time and be a "lazy mother".
5. Learn to make plans.
plan table contains the following contents:
- when to get up;
- when to get up;
- when to get to the park;
- when to complete the task arranged in principle;
- how long to read picture books;
- when to wash;
- when to get to bed at night.
If there are other needs, parents can make plans based on their own situation and their children.
It should be emphasized that when making the plan, you must discuss it with your child, so that the child can understand that the plan is made by himself and must work hard to complete it.
6. Be vigilant against strangers.
Children have already entered kindergarten, and parents cannot stare at their children at all times. At this time, parents tell their children in time "Don't talk to strangers", "You can't ask for things given by strangers", "You can't leave strangers", etc. Teach children to keep a distance from strangers and increase their vigilance.
7. Help mom with housework.
Doing housework can not only cultivate children's sense of responsibility, but also make children feel accomplished and cultivate children's self-confidence.
Responsibility is a child’s attitude towards people and things. For example, when children like to raise cats, mothers should clearly tell their children "Buy cats, but you need to take care of the cat's food and drink" . Let the child realize that it is his responsibility to take care of the cat.
3-year-old children may not be able to do housework well, but when the child cares about helping his parents with housework, he will always be full of enthusiasm and confidence.
If the child cannot do a certain housework well for a while, parents must tell the child with a smile "I'm very tired today? You have done your best. Baby, you are really doing a great job!" The child will have confidence next time and continue to complete this housework.
8. Not picky about food.
When children are about 3 years old, they should develop a healthy dietary attitude. Parents should firmly tell their children "do not picky about food" . He should not pick out the food he doesn't like to eat, nor should he threaten his parents by not eating.
Healthy eating habits play a key role in children's growth and development and intellectual development. As parents, our responsibility is to ensure that our children consume enough nutrition for every meal, rather than decide what to eat based on their children's likes and dislikes.
Finally, one thing I want to say is that the development of good habits cannot be achieved overnight. In the process of guiding children, parents must be kind and tempted, step by step, and do not be anxious, so as not to backfire.
