It is our traditional virtue to know how to be grateful, learn to pay, and like to share. But with the development of society, many children are the "treasure in the palm" of the family, and their parents have not instilled the concept of gratitude in them, so that they become more and more selfish, even unable to experience their parents' hard work. So, what if children don't know how to be grateful and selfish?
Children don't know how to be grateful and selfish
1. Cultivate children's collective sense of honor: Selfishness refers to those who only consider their own interests when doing things and speaking, regardless of social and collective interests. Children with this mentality usually have no collective sense and only think about their own future and interests. Parents should train their children to have a collective sense of honor, see the adverse consequences and harm from their selfish behavior, and correct their mistakes.
2. Cancel the "special" status at home: parents should try not to give special treatment to their children in their daily life. They should only meet their needs properly, not accept them unconditionally, let them know that all people are equal, and eliminate the children's selfish mentality of "self-centered" after a long time.
3. Teach children to respect the old and love the young: parents teach their children to consider their elders first when enjoying, for example, when eating, they serve vegetables for the elders, and give comfortable seats to the elders. People should thank others for their kindness; If others encounter difficulties, you should try your best to help them. Doing more good deeds can make children happy in the recognition and praise of others, and purify their hearts.
4. Let children understand the hard work of parents: raising children is the responsibility and obligation of parents, but it is also necessary for parents to let children know the hard work and pressure parents suffer in order to raise them, and let children know that it is not easy for parents to raise them. The reason why the country has "Mother's Day and Father's Day" now is to make children feel grateful for what their parents have done for them. Only in this way can our children realize the truth that "a drop of grace should be repaid by a fountain".
5. Children learn to cherish what their parents give them: Many times, when children want a toy or other things, parents will quickly satisfy their children, but then children will feel too easy to come and will not cherish. Otherwise, why do some children always destroy their toys and let their mothers buy new ones when they break? That's because toys are easy for them to get; However, some children always cherish their toys and things, because these things are difficult for children to come from, and they are obtained through their own efforts. So when a child puts forward a demand, parents should not let the child get it too easily. They should let the child suffer to get what he wants, so that he can cherish what his parents give him.
Children do not know how to be grateful and selfish. Parents should know how to "take" from children, let them feel their parents' love, and learn to refuse their unreasonable demands.
