Why is love of labor an excellent virtue?

There is a story:

A elementary school in Gongshu District, Hangzhou, the classroom teacher to check the classroom hygiene, she just went to the door of the classroom and froze: is sprinkling water to sweep the floor, wipe the table and wipe the blackboard, is not the class of students wearing red scarves, but the children's parents.

To such an extent that they have overstepped their bounds, the poor parents are saddened.

Love of labor is an excellent virtue and an important condition for survival. The famous British educator Lockley said: "All education comes down to the formation of good habits of students, often their own happiness is attributed to their own habits." It should be said that the formation of labor habits is an important guarantee of a child's future happiness.

The child's labor quality mainly refers to labor attitude, labor ability and labor habits. For the cultivation of children's labor habits, parents can consider the following aspects:

1. Let the child develop the habit of "doing what he can do by himself"

From the child's point of view, it is necessary to start by doing the chores that are within their reach. Parents should encourage their children to participate in all kinds of labor in the family (should not be prevented), so that their love of labor from childhood. In labor, parents should give more guidance (should not be on behalf of the labor), to give the child a sense of success, so that he or she can experience the joy of labor.

Please see a newspaper material:

Shandong, Zibo, an elementary school student called Zhao Xiaoliang, at home to rely on parents to organize his bag, write homework always forget the topic, often let his mother to his classmates home to copy. In school, a little bit of small things will not be able to deal with their own, always report to the teacher, the squad activities let him collect a little park tickets, he even tickets are not counted.

Originally, he is an only child, parents are very favored, many things parents always do for him.

When it's time for school duty, parents come to school to do the work for him for fear of tiring him out. The first time I saw this, I was in the middle of a long journey, and it was a long time ago that I was in the middle of a long journey. The fact that they are not allowed to get involved in household chores has led to the development of a bad habit of dependence, and the moment they leave their parents, they are at a loss.

Then, with the cooperation of teachers and parents, we started to cultivate his self-care ability and consciously created some "hardships" for him to solve independently. For example, the parents deliberately not at home for a day or two, so that he can cook his own food, arrange his own work and rest, let him wash his own clothes, let him clean up his own bedroom.

Now Zhao Xiaoliang not only cooks his parents' birthday dinner and organizes his own room, but also won first prize in the school's "Beautify Your Room" campaign and was named one of the school's "Top Ten Teenagers.

2. Let the child develop the habit of loving the fruits of labor

"The Code of Conduct for Elementary School Students" stipulates that: "cherish food, cherish school supplies, do not pick what to eat and wear, do not spend money, saving water and electricity." Now some children waste phenomenon is particularly serious, such as discarded meals, do not cherish school supplies and so on. Parents should tell their children the fruits of labor hard-won, parents' labor income is also sweat in exchange for, to respect parents, but also to respect the fruits of parental labor.

3. To cultivate children to participate in public service labor habits

From the age of the children, let them participate in some public service labor, such as cleaning, sorting out the flower beds, planting trees, help neighbors to do things, go to the elderly home for the elderly to do things and so on, so that children know how to care for the collective, care for others, and from public service labor to experience the joy of helping people.

The following is a very convincing example:

1988 Hangzhou 8?8 typhoon early the next morning, his father gave Xia Yuan a kettle, a few bread, so that he went to participate in Hangzhou citizens to save the activities of the tree. In the evening, Xia Yuan returned home like a mud monkey, and he was too tired to talk. But the first thing his father asked him was, "Are you still going tomorrow?" Natsuki replied, "Yes!" The neighbors advised his father, "How much strength can a child have to hold a big tree? Don't let him go. His father said, "Even if a tree is not held up, Xiaguan should go to see a scene like that."

This father was wise to cultivate the love of labor as a quality of one's character. We should endeavor to teach our children lessons in this area.

4. Cultivate children's hands-on habits

Let the children do toys or models and a variety of production, hands and brain, is conducive to the development of intellect, so that the children form the habit of creative thinking.

One of the parents paid a lot of attention to the development of the child's hands-on ability. The vast majority of the things the child makes are made from the waste products he collects. There are several boxes in the child's room, some containing broken toys, cans, some containing large gears, small motors, radio parts, bad semiconductor radios, and a large pile of Styrofoam stacked on the cabinet. His sister jokingly called him the "king of rags", but he was in his father's help to develop their brains, with their own hands to make a variety of technology small production to ...... a large number of scientific and technological production, cultivated his hands and brains ability. Finally from quantitative change to qualitative change, realized from the general science and technology production to the sublimation of invention, invention and production of a person can use the sun altimeter.

Parents should tell their children: laziness is punished not only by their own failure, but also by the success of others to their own mockery.
