How to let children learn to dress independently by knowing hot and cold?

The first trick: let the child feel cold.

Many parents have had this experience. The child is too young to reason with him. Especially when the weather changes.

Mom: It's cold. Put on your coat before you go out.

Child: I don't want to wear a coat.

Mom: You'll catch a cold if you don't wear it.

Child: I don't wear it.

What should I do if I encounter this situation?

Every time we go out, we will arrange for the calf to feel the temperature outside, make him feel cold, and then remind him to get dressed. He can choose and decide whether to add clothes according to his feelings.

The reason why the child resists wearing clothes is that he has never experienced the cold personally. Cold is a perception, but many of our children are now overprotected by adults. They never know what is cold, what is pain, or even what is hunger.

The second measure: provide timely support.

When the child feels cold, parents should provide him with support in time. Never make sarcastic remarks and be sarcastic to children, such as: "Look, mom just told you to wear something thicker, but you didn't wear it. Now you know it's cold. " This attitude will make children more rebellious about dressing.

When it is particularly cold outside in winter, I just want to wear a coat instead of a cotton coat. We usually don't force him, but bring clothes that we may need to wear. In this way, when the calf feels cold, we can lose no time to provide it to him.

Only in this way can children have the opportunity to choose whether to wear clothes or not, and what to wear when they feel cold.

The third trick: understand the concept of disease.

If the weather is cold and the children don't wear clothes, they may catch a cold. Parents are particularly worried about their children's illness. In fact, it is easy for children to understand what diseases are, such as runny nose, cough and fever, and it is also meaningful.

For example, every time a calf gets sick, we will communicate with him to discuss what a cough is and why it has a runny nose. At the same time, as long as he is sick, many of his usual choices are gone, such as the choice of eating, he can only eat noodles, not sugar; For example, in the choice of playing ball, he can only rest in bed and can't run wildly outside. Over time, children feel sick is not fun at all.

Some families give their children many privileges after they get sick, such as watching TV and playing Ipad, which makes them feel sick. This practice is unscientific, and children must have a deep understanding of the disease, which is very helpful for establishing good living habits in the future.

The fourth measure: establish the bottom line rule.

Our bottom line rule is health. When the child has a runny nose or a cough, he should wear clothes according to his mother's requirements. This is the "gentle persistence, limited choice" that we have mentioned many times. Only by establishing rules when you are young can you establish good habits when you grow up.

It should be noted that each child's resistance is different, and parents should support him to wear clothes according to his resistance. For example, the resistance of the calf is good. When the weather is cold, the calf can still wear shorts at the temperature of 5℃ ~ 10℃ without catching a cold. His resistance is also gradually established through daily intensive exercise.

Step 5: Understand the relationship between temperature and wearing clothes.

When the calf was old enough to count, we began to pay attention to the weather forecast. Children are not interested in weather forecast by nature, but are interested in mobile phones, so I often say loudly with my mobile phone: "Today, the temperature drops to 5℃, so put on more clothes." The calf will be interested in the weather warning on my mobile phone and what I said.

I also made a temperature curve. First of all, I will say, wear shorts at high temperature and coat at low temperature. This is actually a demonstration. If you are reasonable at this time, the child will resist, and no one likes to listen to his mother's nagging. As long as the mother does it, the child will feel it and understand when and how to do it.

Slowly, the calf has a rational understanding and judgment of temperature. He expects it to be hot at noon and cold at night. After the experience, he will say that he can wear less at noon and more when he goes out at night. He gradually explored the relationship between time, weather, temperature and dressing, and began to explore the relationship between exercise and dressing.

For example, he will feel hot when playing football at noon, so he chooses to wear shorts when playing football, and then put on a pair of pants when he feels cold after playing football. Of course, sometimes even if you feel cold, your calf won't remember to add clothes, which is caused by your child's limited planning ability. As parents, we will not blame and blame him too much, but constantly remind him in this process, so that he can have a correct perception and judgment of temperature and clothes.

The sixth measure: make a dressing plan in advance.

Parents should help school children make a dress plan for tomorrow morning the night before.

How to do the dressing plan? The calf is in primary school now. Generally, before going to bed, we will discuss in advance what the temperature will be tomorrow, what clothes we should wear, and make preparations in advance. Because we have made full preparations for the previous moves, it is natural to come to this step.

We will try our best to give our children more choices. For example, he has four pairs of trousers and let him choose what he likes to wear. After choosing, I will let him hang his clothes on the hanger, so that he won't be in a hurry to go to school in the morning and won't have many negative emotions.

Cultivating the ability to make plans is of great help to a person's life.

Now the calf not only has a clear sense of warmth and coldness, but also prepares clothes in advance according to the weather forecast. He puts on his clothes when it is cold in the morning and takes off his thick clothes when it is hot at noon. The calf has been able to take good care of itself, putting on and taking off clothes according to the temperature.

Keeping healthy is the most basic ability that children need, followed by the ability to feel happy, and finally the pursuit of success. We hope that the future calves will not only know how to be cold and warm, but also care and take care of the people around them. In my opinion, such education will be successful.

Extended data

With the baby's age and physical growth, its hand-eye coordination ability is constantly enhanced. Parents can gradually cultivate their baby's ability to dress independently according to their age characteristics. The cultivation of dressing ability and independent dressing habits is conducive to the cultivation of children's living hygiene habits and self-care ability, and the earliest cultivation can start from infancy.

When changing clothes for a baby in infancy, you can consciously teach the baby the whole process of changing clothes, and describe the whole process in words during the process of changing clothes, such as "Where are the baby's hands and hands, put them in the sleeves" and "Where are the baby's feet, and our little feet are lifted to put on socks". Slowly, the baby changed from passive to active cooperation. When his parents say something similar, he will take the initiative to put his hand out and put it in his sleeve.

When the baby is older, he can walk and learn simple vocabulary. After he can understand his parents' instructions, he can try to formally teach the baby to learn to dress. In principle, he should learn to take it off first, and then learn to wear it, from easy to difficult. First, start by taking off socks, shoes and hats. Whenever the baby completes the action, parents need encouragement to make the baby feel at home.

When a baby learns new action habits, it is inevitable that he will repeat this action repeatedly and enjoy it, and sometimes he will show it to adults specially. For example, when some babies just learn to wear and take off their hats, they can't restrain their excitement and keep repeating this action, asking for feedback and praise from adults. Parents should not feel too much trouble at this time.

What is simple in the eyes of adults is an achievement across the ages in the baby's mind. If parents really think that the baby is too repetitive and too tired to cope, they can divert the baby's attention in other ways, such as taking the opportunity to take the next action, and remember to be impatient or reprimanded.

After the baby is familiar with the process of taking off all the clothes, he can start teaching him to wear them. Similarly, he should start with simple things, such as socks, shoes, trousers, and then clothes with more action steps, such as tops. It's normal that the baby just started to dress, and the shoes can't tell front and back, front and back, left and right. Parents can patiently guide repeated demonstrations, step by step, to achieve the desired results, so that the baby can learn to dress independently.
