When small children, they are torn to help parents about the house, but those often refuse such help. The child at this age does everything awkwardly, here and it is much simpler to adult to make business. And then they begin to be surprised when the grown-up son or the daughter do not want to carry out household chores.
Instruction
1. It is necessary to accustom the child to housework since the earliest childhood. As soon as the child of three years picks up a broom and a scoop and begins to sweep garbage is the first sign to the fact that the child is ready to the help to parents. It is necessary to train it in this help at the most elementary affairs patiently. Children at such age really wish to bring benefit, want them to be praised, sincerely dream to make something pleasant for parents. And let at them it turns out still awkwardly, they can break a plate or guide a bigger disorder, but such help cannot be rejected, it is impossible to send the child to play the nursery and to refuse his affairs.
2. Learn to thank the child for any useful business. For children there is no bigger award how to see the surprised eyes of the mom, her joyful smile. Therefore children at the age of 4-5 years like suit to parents pleasant surprises. For example, say that things scattered, mom comes to the room with thoughts of cleaning - and there purity. It is a surprise, big and pleasant for it. Even it is necessary to thank the child for the smallest help so as if he made big business. This gratitude and joy of parents gives to the child understanding that household chores bring benefit that he helps parents and does real serious work.
3. Set a good example. Children study on behavior of the parents - there are no other teachers in their environment yet. Therefore if parents very honestly approach cleaning, do it regularly, distribute duties and help each other, then and children will get into the general gear. If parents do not forbid them it at the earliest age, do not say that to the child still too early to be engaged in homework, then at children when growing even of questions will not arise why it needs to do something in the house. All duties will be perceived as something natural and habitual.
4. Charge only useful tasks. If the child in family is accustomed to work only in order that he did not idle, to sense from it will be a little. When the child knows that to all rooms order is brought by the housemaid and only in the it should do everything most - the child will perceive such work as injustice, and therefore will execute it without special enthusiasm. Only in that family in which parents perceive work and obligations for the house as something useful and necessary, but also, not it and difficult, children will think and treat homework also.
5. Distribute duties honestly, do not forget about age. It is still difficult for small children to carry out many types of homework, for example, to wash the dishes or to cut bread. But they with pleasure will spread out devices to a table, can place plates, sweep, spread out toys in places. So it is necessary to charge feasible tasks and not to do them for the child even if something is impossible to him. Especially, it is impossible to abuse the child or to accuse him that he can normally make nothing. One blurt can fight all desire to help parents off the kid.
6. Give to children accurate, concrete instructions. It is impossible just to tell the kid that he brought order to the room. Perhaps in his opinion there and so order. And the school uniform hangs on the place even if this place - a chair, and toys are spread out one after another though on a floor. It is necessary to tell the child that not and as to him to correct it.
7. Even such serious business as cleaning, it is possible to turn into a game and to brighten up unpleasant duties. Let children compete among themselves or perform your some tasks in the form of quest to find treasures or to save a toy from captivity. It is possible to think up variations of such games much, and it will deliver a lot of pleasure to both parents, and children. And here what precisely cannot be done, so it to turn household chores into punishment or to apply them in such give rise. Then the child will definitely not be able to perceive them as something habitual and necessary.
