Early childhood, around the age of 2 to 3 years old, is the stage when children's personality traits are gradually revealed, and the strong need for self-assertion and the external personality traits with extroverted or introverted tendencies are very significant. Here is a list of teaching suggestions for parents:
1. Positive responses: When they make the right choice or show good behavior, be sure to give timely affirmation and encouragement, and praise their achievements in detail and clearly. At the same time, we should try to avoid comparing or criticizing what they do, so as to prevent too much anxiety and emotions of gain and loss to children.
2. Establish clear rules and regulations: Although children at this age are willing to assert themselves, it does not mean that they can be allowed to ignore the existence of rules. From the time they are still ignorant, we should help them to establish the right rules of conduct, such as how to use utensils correctly, keep toys neat and orderly, etc. When guiding them through these rules, appropriate wording, such as "expects", "must", "should", etc., should be used to convey the message in concise and understandable language.
3. Foster trusting relationships: Two-year-olds are in an important time to build trust, which will help them understand and be guided by education. Let them know that you are always their back, and that you will lend a helping hand whenever and wherever they need it.
4. Be patient: Since children at this age may exhibit many disobedient behaviors, parents need to be patient and understanding. Remember that children's behaviour is an integral part of their development, and we should give them plenty of time and space to explore and learn.
5. Avoid excessive punishment: Although we need to help children develop a sense of rules, excessive punishment can have a negative impact on their mental health. Therefore, we should avoid corporal punishment or other excessively harsh punishments as much as possible, and try to use positive motivational and guiding methods.
6. Seek professional help: If you find that your child's behavioural problems are more severe, or if you feel too weak to deal with them effectively, consider seeking professional help, such as a psychologist or child behaviour specialist.
All in all, educating a child between the ages of two and three requires a great deal of patience, understanding, and support. We need to establish good communication channels and use positive motivation and facilitation strategies to help them set the right rules of behavior, while also maintaining enough patience and understanding to avoid excessive punishment.
For children who are thriving, it is essential to develop good eating habits. First of all, prepare a variety of foods for children, providing them with a variety of textures, colors, and shapes, which will not only stimulate their appetite, but also help them get more nutrients. Secondly, having a regular eating schedule and eating at a fixed time each day will help children form a good biological clock, which will enhance the regularity of the digestive system. In addition, we should try our best to create a pleasant and relaxing environment during the children's meals, so as not to disturb and interrupt their attention, so that they can concentrate on the delicious taste of the food. Finally, as parents, we should also maintain healthy and reasonable eating habits, be an excellent role model for our children, and encourage them to develop good eating habits, so as to promote their healthy physical and mental development.
