Recently, three friends and I held a parent-child party, and we all brought our children to attend.
Children can play together, and mothers can chat about parenting experiences together.
Something happened during dinner that made me pay attention to my children’s table manners education.
Dinner was prepared by me and another mother.
Two people were busy in the kitchen and added salt twice to a dish of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, making the dish extremely salty.
I explained it to everyone, and everyone said it didn't matter and they could make do with it, but the children didn't hear it.
When the children came to the table to eat, the first thing they noticed was a little girl Yueyue. After taking a bite of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, Yueyue immediately vomited on the ground and said loudly, "It tastes so bad. What is this?"
I quickly coaxed Yueyue to stop eating this, but Yueyue still kept complaining, and Yueyue's mother also said to me awkwardly: "Children are picky."
At this time, I noticed that Haohao, who was sitting next to me, took a bite of tomatoes and frowned, and whispered to the mother next to him: "This food is too unpalatable." Haohao's mother also whispered: "Shh...
Mom knows, but Auntie didn't mean it. If you don't like it, you can eat less or eat other dishes." Then Haohao nodded.
What surprised me was that Haohao also picked up a few tomatoes at the end. I asked him not to eat them, but Haohao said to me: "I'll eat less. It would be a waste not to eat at all."
The same thing, the different behaviors of two children, and the two different words of the two mothers not only reflect different education, but also reflect the children's different emotional intelligence and upbringing.
At the dinner table, when others are eating the same meal, you complain loudly that it is not delicious. Although it is childish talk, parents should educate their children as early as possible. Many parents will use "" when their children say inappropriate words.
The child is not sensible" as an excuse to alleviate the embarrassment.
But the embarrassment was indeed avoided, but the children's education was missing.
In fact, parents should educate their children on table manners as early as possible, because no matter where they eat or who they eat with, their children's education can be reflected in the details.
