“Labor education of a child in the family.”

Labor education is an important means of comprehensive development of a child’s personality. Hard work is not given by nature; it must be cultivated from early childhood. Thus, it is in the family that the foundations of labor education are laid.

If previously children worked from an early age, now many parents, due to their busyness and lack of patience, protect their children from work by doing everything themselves, thereby doing a “disservice.”

Labor activity is multifunctional. In the process of work, children develop physically and mentally, master skills and abilities. Parents don’t even think that the child’s work is connected with the need for active participation in the lives of adults and the desire for independence. Participation in household work allows children to really feel their involvement in the concerns of the family, to feel like a member of the family team. This helps to develop many important personality traits: responsiveness, caring, thrift, responsibility.

Identify the basic principles of labor education

children in the family:

— introduction to work through self-service; — a gradual transition from self-service to work for others; — gradual expansion of the range of responsibilities, increasing their complexity; — tactful and constant quality control of the execution of work assignments; — organization of training in performing labor operations; - developing confidence in the child in the importance of performing the work assigned to him; — taking into account the individual characteristics and inclinations of the child when distributing work assignments; - encouragement of diligent execution of assignments, manifestation of independence and initiative; - alternation of work and rest, as well as different types of work in the regime.

So, in a family, work for children should be feasible

. A child may have household chores that he performs constantly. For example, taking care of your shoes, clothes, toys. At an older age, the child can already wash his own dishes, care for pets, water indoor plants, etc. And it is not at all necessary to entrust the child with cleaning the entire apartment; you can, for example, ask him to wipe the dust from the window sills or help his mother prepare dinner.

Remember, when giving instructions to children, it is necessary to clearly explain what is being done, why and why.

The child needs to know why he needs to perform certain tasks and what result should be achieved. We need to tell for what purpose we are doing this or that work. For example, if flowers are not watered, they may die; If we don’t wash the dishes, we’ll have to eat from dirty dishes. It is necessary to help the child feel the benefits of his work efforts, to teach him to experience joy because his activities are useful.

Never force your children to help you.

Coercion is disgusting. Moreover, such work will not differ in quality. Help must come from a pure heart. It is clear that the child may not notice that it is difficult for you and that you would not mind accepting help from him. Here you can cheat a little: groan and groan: “Oh, how tired I am,” “Oh, my back hurts.” It’s a rare child who doesn’t realize that his help would be in place.

Teach children to finish the work they start.

, do not rush or push them, know how to wait until they complete the work themselves.

Work is no less attractive for a child than play. You can use work-play as a means of developing children's activity.

Playful images help children do their work with great interest. It is easier to teach a child to work while playing. For example, your house is a spaceship, and it needs to be cleaned before departure. Young children easily humanize inanimate objects - this quality can be used effectively. Tell your child on behalf of the toy that it is cold for her to lie on the floor, or let the bear ask to be put on the shelf.

Gradually, the child develops a positive attitude not only to those types of work that are associated with play, but also to those that are not so interesting, but necessary, that is, there is an awareness of the importance of work activity.

The work of children should not go unnoticed by adults. It is necessary that work brings pleasure to the child. Praise him for the results he has achieved

. Praise can be expressed in words or by organizing joint family entertainment (a trip to the cinema, park, etc.); in no case should you reward your child with money, this can develop the skill of doing everything for money. Any work should be rewarded, even if the child did something wrong. And if he breaks something, don’t even think about scolding him, because the child wanted to help. Work and its results should always be accompanied by positive emotions.

In parallel with this, it is necessary to instill in children respect for the work of adults

, careful attitude to its results. Words of notation, as you know, are unconvincing methods for a child. He must see the good example of adults. The activities of adults serve as role models for children. If the adults themselves work with enthusiasm, then the child will strive for the same. When a child sees that work for adults is a heavy burden, then he himself will have the same attitude. Therefore, parents themselves should take on any work with desire, diligence and responsibility, setting a good example for their children. When a child in a family hears stories from parents about their work and the production activities of other people, this expands the child’s understanding of the work of adults, their professions, and forms interest and respect for the work activities of their parents.

Tips for parents:

1. Be consistent in your demands.

2. Consider the individual and age characteristics of your children.

3. Before entrusting something to a child, show an example of the correct execution of the assignment, teach this to your son and daughter, and complete the assignment several times together.

4. Do not forget about playful moments in the labor education of children.

5. Teach your child to respect the work of other people and take care of the results of their work. Tell your children about your work and your friends.

6. Encourage your child more often for independence, initiative, and quality of work performed.

7. Tactfully evaluate the results of your child’s work.

Consultation for parents on the topic: “Raising a positive attitude towards work in children of senior preschool age”

“Labor has always been the basis for human life and culture”.

A. S. Makarenko.

The work of preschool children is the most important means of education. The entire process of raising children through work is organized so that they learn to understand the benefits and necessity of work for themselves and for the team. Hard work and the ability to work are not given by nature, but are cultivated from early childhood.

Work develops the child’s mental abilities: his intelligence, creative ingenuity.

Labor education is the preparation of a child for life, for participation in socially useful work, the formation of an active, purposeful personality. Preschool age is the beginning of a child’s labor education; it is in this period of life that he first begins to experience the need for independent activity.

In their work activities, preschoolers master a variety of skills and abilities necessary in everyday life: in self-service, in household activities. Improving skills and abilities does not only mean that the child begins to do without the help of adults. He develops independence, the ability to overcome difficulties, and the ability to exert volition. This brings him joy and makes him want to master new skills. Aesthetic education is also carried out in work activities. Children develop the ability to do any task carefully and make their crafts look beautiful. Labor activity strengthens children physically, since children perform many types of work outdoors. They become capable of exerting strength and overcoming difficulties.

Labor activity is of particular importance for the formation of moral qualities. By performing simple duties related to setting the table and helping to prepare everything necessary for classes, children learn to be useful to others. This shapes their willingness to come to the aid of those who need it, willingly carry out feasible work assignments, and shapes diligence and diligence.

Types of labor

Self-care is constant work on the cleanliness of the body, on the order of the suit, the willingness to do everything necessary for this and to do it without demands from the outside, from the internal need, to observe hygiene rules. It is clear that such an attitude of children towards self-care work can be achieved through painstaking, systematic work in kindergarten and family. Self-care is the main type of child labor. Teaching children to dress themselves, wash themselves, eat, and put their toys away in their place develops in them independence, less dependence on an adult, self-confidence, desire and ability to overcome obstacles.

Children's work in nature creates favorable conditions for physical development, improves movements, stimulates the actions of various organs, strengthens the nervous system; work in nature is of great importance for the mental and sensory development of children. This work, like no other, combines mental and volitional efforts. Labor in nature is associated with broadening the horizons of children, obtaining accessible knowledge, for example, about soil, planting material, labor processes, tools, promotes the development of observation and curiosity in children, instills in them an interest in agricultural work, and respect for the people who do it , helps to cultivate love for her. Through the maintenance of labor in nature, for example, growing beautiful flowers, aimed at satisfying the aesthetic needs of people.

Manual labor - develops children's constructive abilities, useful practical skills and orientation, creates interest in work, readiness for it, to cope with it, the ability to evaluate one's capabilities, the desire to do the job as best as possible (stronger, more stable, more graceful, more accurate). In the process of work, children become familiar with the simplest technical devices, master the skills of working with certain tools, and learn to treat materials, objects of labor, and tools with care. Through experience, children learn elementary concepts about the properties of various materials: the material undergoes various transformations, a variety of things can be made from it. Thus, while learning to make useful items from thick paper, children learn that it can be folded, cut, and glued. Wood can be sawed, planed, cut, drilled, glued. When working with wood, the guys use a hammer, saw, and pliers. They learn to compare details by superposition, by eye, using a ruler. Working with natural materials - leaves, acorns, straw, bark, etc. - gives the teacher the opportunity to introduce children to the variety of its qualities: color, shape, hardness.

Household work - in the labor education of preschool children, a large place is occupied by household work, compliance with hygiene rules, maintaining order in the group room and on the site. This work, like no other, makes it possible to instill in children neatness and a desire to maintain cleanliness and order. Preschoolers who are constantly involved in household work, as a rule, have developed a caring attitude towards things, a desire to be on duty on their own initiative, to restore order, and to help a friend. Children are actively involved in various types of household work, independently distribute responsibilities, are able to outline the sequence of work, and critically evaluate the results of their own and their comrades’ work. Children of the seventh year of life wash toys and plants, wash doll clothes, are on duty in the dining room and classes, and wipe dust in play areas. They help teachers take toys out to the site and bring them back. The area is kept in order: paths are swept, flowers are watered.

When teaching preschool children to work, two factors are important.

1. Example of parents.

A child, like a sponge, absorbs everything that surrounds him, and if he sees that his parents work every day, taking care of the house and garden, it will be easier and simpler to teach the child to do the same.

2. Motivation.

When raising children, the moment of motivation is very important, but many parents begin to mistakenly motivate their children with sweets, money or other things valuable to the child. With this approach, you may encounter a situation where, without reward, the child will not want to do anything at all. The right motivation is praise. Praise your child, tell him what a good helper he is and that you would never have done it without him. And most importantly, never scold your child if something doesn’t work out for him, help him and be sure to praise him

Goal: developing the competence of parents in the issue of labor education.

Objectives: to attract the attention of parents to awareness of the importance of labor education in the life of a child. Arouse parents' interest in joint work with their child at home.

Labor education is an important means of comprehensive development of a child’s personality. Hard work is not given by nature, but must be cultivated from early childhood. The main purpose of work is its influence on the child’s personality. Reasonably organized work strengthens the physical strength and health of the child. Movements become more confident and accurate. As he acts, the baby becomes more and more oriented in space.

Work also has a significant impact on the mental development of a child. It develops intelligence, curiosity, initiative, active perception, observation, attention, concentration, and trains memory. And work also develops thinking - the child has to compare and contrast objects and phenomena with which he deals. Emphasizing the invaluable importance of work for the comprehensive development of a child’s personality, I bring to your attention some recommendations for labor education in the family.

The work of children in the family must be feasible. It is not at all necessary to entrust cleaning the entire apartment to the baby, but asking him to wipe the dust from the windowsill is quite possible. Use the opportunity - interest. Any child is interested in working with a vacuum cleaner. He won’t work much, of course, but he will gain some skills.

At the first stages, work activity is not stable; it is closely related to children’s games. The connection between work and play is important in preschool age - play images help children do work with greater interest. It is easier to teach a child to work while playing. For example, your house is a spaceship, and it needs to be cleaned before departure. Young children easily humanize inanimate objects - this quality can be used effectively. Tell your child on behalf of the toy that it is cold for her to lie on the floor, or let the bear ask to be put on the shelf.

Never force your child to help you. Coercion is disgusting. Moreover, work done under duress is not of high quality. Help must come from a pure heart. It is clear that the child may not notice that it is difficult for you and that you would not mind accepting help from him. Here you can cheat a little: groan and groan: “Oh, how tired I am,” “Oh, my back hurts.” It’s a rare child who doesn’t realize that his help would be in place.

What kind of help with housework can preschool children provide? The range is quite wide. In addition to cleaning his room, the baby can help his mother prepare for dinner, for example, in setting the table. The child is quite capable of watering indoor plants and feeding pets.

Remember, when giving instructions to a child, it is necessary to clearly explain what is being done, why, and why. The child needs to know why he should perform certain tasks and what result should be achieved.

This is the only way for preschoolers to form an idea of the need for these actions. Therefore, we always need to explain why we are working. For example, if flowers are not watered, they may die; If we don't wash the dishes, we'll have to eat from dirty dishes.

The work of a child should not go unnoticed by adults. Any work should be encouraged: thank the child, praise, appreciate his efforts. Even if the child did something wrong. And if he breaks something, don’t even think about scolding him, because the child wanted to help. Work and its results must be accompanied by positive emotions. Gradually, the child develops a positive attitude not only to those types of work that are associated with play, but also to those that are not so interesting, but necessary, that is, there is an awareness of the importance of work activity. The activities of adults serve as role models for children. If the adults themselves work with enthusiasm, then the child will strive for the same. When a child sees that work for adults is a heavy burden, then he himself will have the same attitude. Therefore, parents themselves should take on any work with desire, diligence and responsibility, setting a good example for their children.

Teach your child to complete the work he has started, do not rush or rush the child, know how to wait until he completes the work himself.

In parallel with labor education, it is necessary to instill respect for the work of adults and a careful attitude towards its results. Words of notation, as you know, are unconvincing methods for a child. He must see the good example of adults.

Only the systematic fulfillment of work duties will help to develop preschoolers’ organization, responsibility, and habits of work effort, which is so important for preparing a child for school.
