How to cultivate good behavioral habits in young children that will benefit them throughout their lives

Italian educator Dr. Maria Montessori pointed out: 2-6 years old is a critical period for the formation of children\’s rule awareness and early behavioral habits. If parents do not cultivate good behavioral habits for their children before the age of 2-6, they will not develop good behavioral habits for their children. Good education is useless. Let me share with you 16 golden habits that should be established for children before they are 2-6 years old: 1. Reading with your children before going to bed. Children’s habits are developed from daily life. Reading with your children before going to bed can help your children develop good habits from an early age. reading habits. Reading time can be 3 minutes or 5 minutes, and you can just flip through books and pictures. The most important thing is to cultivate children\’s habits through this behavior. 2. Cultivate the habit of listening to stories. Develop the habit of listening to stories in your children from an early age. It can not only sharpen your ears, but also indirectly keep your children away from TV and mobile phones. When children develop the habit, they can still get satisfaction and happiness from stories even if they don\’t usually watch TV or read books. 3. Set the time for watching TV. After the age of 2, children can be allowed to watch mobile phones or TV, but the time should not exceed 5-10 minutes, and the TV should be turned off after that time. If the child cries and refuses to be turned off, you can tell the child that the TV baby is tired and is going to sleep. When he wakes up, he can continue playing. Therefore, when we are tired, we also need to take a rest. When the children get used to the behavior of sleeping with the TV, we will then sleep from the TV to develop in the children the habit of turning off the TV after watching one episode. In this way, children will understand from an early age that no matter what they do, there are rules. When children become accustomed to the rules, they will not act out. 4. After the toys are not played with, return them to their place and send them home to develop good storage habits instead of leaving them somewhere for others to clean up. 5. You are allowed to make mistakes, but you must take responsibility for them. Children grow up through trial and error, so when a child spills something, it can be said that it doesn\’t matter. But at this time, children must also be taught to take responsibility for their own mistakes, such as spilling water or soup and cleaning them up with something. Children\’s growth and mental maturity are gained through responsibility. 6. After eating, know how to store the tableware. Put the tableware back into the kitchen after eating. If it is a porcelain plate, handle it with care. Let the children learn to cherish things from eating and storing them. Also, let your children know from an early age that they can do their own thing. Ultra-clear 1080P Gymboree Good Habits nursery rhyme cartoon, leading children to grow up healthily 7.

Crying is allowed, but you have to tell the story after crying. You can cry when something sad happens, but you can\’t keep crying. If you keep crying, your mother won\’t know what happened and won\’t be able to help you. Therefore, the best way is to explain it clearly to your mother after crying. 16. Develop the habit of being diligent and thrifty. Develop the habit of being thrifty and frugal from an early age. Eat as much as you can. If you can’t eat, say in advance that you can’t eat and ask for less. Rather than taking a lot of food even if you can\’t finish it, and ultimately wasting the food. Written at the end: Cultivating habits is not to restrict children, but to allow children to develop fixed behaviors and self-discipline patterns from daily life. Children will also be affected throughout their lives by good behavior and self-discipline. I hope that every parent can use time and patience to accompany their children as they grow up, so that their children can thrive.
