| That kids are doing some kitchen duties. |
'To serve' the children is actually a good
thing if in accordance with the rules. But if the children was already too
spoiled by the 'service' from their parents, you should immediately change it.
Because of this habit will have a negative impact to the children's
development. Children will be people who are not self-sufficient.
Independence in children should be trained
from an early age. Children who have the independence, tend to have a
responsibility in their behavior. Conversely, if the children do not have
independence, they will tend to blame others for their own mistakes.
So how
do parents teach independent living patterns to their children?
1. Teach
them to carry out their own personal activities
Parents should explain to their children that
they have to do their task by themselves. For example sunning their towel after
take a bath, cleared their own room when they wake up in the morning, or
tidying up the toys that have been played by themselves. This is the first step
to foster self-reliance and inculcate the values of responsibility in children.
2. Explain
the consequences that must be accepted if the children is not doing their task
Parents need to make a deal together with
their children about the consequences that should be accepted if the children
do not do their own task. In this case, you need to pay attention to your
child's abilities. Do not give them the tasks that roughly would be hard to
done by your children alone.
3. Accompany
your children and help them if your children have some difficulty when do their
duties
Parents need to accompany children in doing
their jobs. If in doing these tasks children can solve themselves, then parents
should give praise. However, if your children have difficulty when do their
duties, you need to provide some guidance or assistance to complete their
tasks. But remember, teach how to do it, not just do it for your children.
