Consultation for parents.
Topic: “Labor education in the family” Author: Lyubov Nikolaevna Komova, teacher at MBDOU “General developmental kindergarten No. 90”, Cherepovets. Description of the material: This material is compiled in the form of recommendations for the labor education of preschool children. The consultation will be useful for educators and parents of children aged 4 to 7 years.

Goal: developing the competence of parents in the issue of labor education. Objectives: To attract the attention of parents to the importance of labor education in the life of a child. Arouse parents' interest in joint work with their child at home. Progress: 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 cultivate respect for the work of adults and 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.

Methods of labor education for preschool children

In kindergarten, the initial foundation of hard work is formed. Educators teach children to engage in activities that are beneficial to society. Training must be carried out in a playful way, since this type of activity is the leading one for preschoolers.

Children need to be taught from an early age the need to help their parents

You need to raise a child gradually, as he will have to master several stages. He will have to develop skills, be able to set goals, plan his work and achieve results.

Important! At preschool age, children have only external motivation, i.e. they need financial incentives.

At preschool educational institutions, teachers help children master the first tools of labor. The teacher also sets goals and monitors their achievement - this is good to develop through self-service skills.

The role of family traditions

The position of an adult when teaching a child work activities is helping. For example, if a baby asks to lace his shoes, then the parent does not need to sit him on a chair and do it for him. The right thing to do would be to show him how it’s done and help him cope with it himself.

It is necessary to develop social and everyday skills in the child

Nurturing hard work in preschoolers depends on various factors. Mastering simple skills begins with observing an adult. If parents often clean, wash dishes, etc., then the baby will begin to try to repeat after them.

At the age of 3, the child develops the need “I myself.” It is from this moment that you can begin training.

The relevance of the correct position of an adult

Educators can offer the brochure “Labor education in the family”; the consultation for parents contains practical advice and common mistakes. Moms and dads should systematically teach their children to do housework.

Some adults mistakenly ask a child to help only upon express request. This attitude interferes with proper teaching. Sometimes parents take an overprotective position. They do everything for the child, suppress his independence and initiative.

Close people should help the child cope with various tasks. For example, let him dress on his own and get ready for a walk.

Important! Don't expect your child to do it perfectly the first time.

Teaching children work skills begins with demonstrations of action. The parent should provide support for the slightest attempts to do something independently. For example, wipe the floor. Even if a child just rubs the dirt, initiative should be encouraged.

If an adult begins to overprotect the child, he will quickly get used to being lazy and will have no desire for personal activities.

Problems of labor education in preschool educational institutions and schools

Practical advice

It’s not for nothing that teachers develop consultations for parents “Labor education for preschoolers.” It is this period that is very important for the formation of the first ideas about social and everyday skills.

When to start

Not only when being in a group, a child must follow the rules. At home he also runs errands and does various jobs. From an early age, he is taught to put toys in place, clean up after himself, and help his parents.

In kindergarten, teachers also develop independence, but this is not enough. Therefore, parents are also full participants in the process.

Education of hard work in preschool children takes place under the supervision of adults. They are the ones who help develop habits and skills. This process takes several years, so you need to do it from the baby’s first year.

Important! There are no uniform teaching methods, but it is worth adhering to two principles - consistency and systematicity. In this case, you will be able to achieve your goals.

How to teach a preschooler to work

In the first year of a child's life, parents gradually teach him to put toys in their places. To do this, he is shown how to put them in a box or container. This needs to be done in a playful way.

After completing the task, the child must be encouraged

Educational institutions may hold parent meetings on “Family Traditions and the Child’s Ability to Work.” All this is aimed at ensuring that adults receive practical advice on parenting.

Before starting kindergarten, children must learn to care for themselves. To do this, they are taught to wash their face, brush their teeth, comb their hair, get dressed, etc.

Important! First, the parent shows how to do it, then helps to carry out the actions.

Different methods of labor education are aimed at achieving one goal - developing the need to carry out useful activities. To do this, parents ask for help in arranging washed dishes, wiping off dust, etc.

The tasks should be age appropriate. The components of activity are goal, motive, means and result. The education process is built on the basis of them. For example, the child is told that toys need help and need to be put in their places.

A tool is something that helps to carry out an activity. The child needs to use cutlery to eat. Therefore, he will need different skills and abilities in life.

The educational potential of the labor activity of preschool children allows us to consider it useful for society. What a person will be like in the future depends on this. He must have the right attitude towards work.

A person’s success directly depends on hard work

It’s worth working with schoolchildren a little differently. From the first grade they can already be assigned different tasks. It is better to write them all down in a list that will help him remember everything.

Labor activity in the senior group in the classroom

Important! Developing the habit of studying also requires a special approach. Therefore, if a child is assigned to write an essay, the parent can tell him where to look for information. But don't try to do the job for him.
