House Cleaning

Cultivar o cumprimento das regras das crianças e a boa auto-independência na vida cotidiana

1) Learning objectives: To cultivate children’s rule compliance and good self-independence in daily life.

2) Theoretical guidance: Chen Heqin, a famous expert in early childhood education in China, holds that children can “begin to finish their own task by themselves” and “begin to form self-awareness with the intention to do things according to their own desires” since 3. If the development period is missed and children’s self-independence is not trained, children will gradually develop dependence, which is bad for children’s development in fitness, intelligence, emotion control, personality and will power.

3) Creative learning: In the game “House Cleaning”, 3 common family life scenes in the bedroom, living room and bathroom are set. Based on their own knowledge level and through combination with life experience, children should move certain objects to corresponding positions independently to experience the enjoyment of housework and improve their independence and self-management skills.

4) Suggestions for parents: Parents' excessive care is one of the main reasons for children's weak self-independence, children aged 3-4 are able to make beds, put away toys and books, clean up dishes, collect garbage and take it out etc. According to children’s age and ability levels, Parents should set a goal for children’s self-independence to enhance their independence, self-confidence and to lay a good foundation for their life.
