1. Enjoy every meal with a grateful heart.
This gratitude includes all kinds of seasonal foods brought to us by nature in various seasons, as well as the people who cultivate these foods and these foods that supplement us with nutrition and energy. This feeling of gratitude should be passed down as a family culture, compared with the way of holding chopsticks and the sitting posture of eating.
2. Ask the elders to sit down first and cook for them first.
Respecting the elderly is the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation. When children are young, parents should demonstrate well. When eating, please sit the elders at home first and cook for them first. Before the elders move chopsticks, the younger generation should not eat by themselves. When parents pass the bowl to their children, the children should take it with both hands to show their respect for their elders.
Don't leave your seat before eating.
In addition to washing hands before meals, it is best to let children develop the habit of going to the toilet before meals, so that they can enjoy food more safely and easily.
4. Sit up straight and keep a straight posture.
This not only looks good, but also helps digestion.
5. Hold chopsticks correctly
In fact, as long as it takes 1 hour, mothers can teach their children to use chopsticks. Just using chopsticks can make a person look cultured. Our ancestors invented chopsticks, a prop can hold all kinds of food, which contains the profound essence of traditional culture, that is, we must inherit it.
6. Don't beat chopsticks or make noise when eating.
7. Avoid tossing and turning in the tray.
Don't rummage through the dishes with a spoon or chopsticks in order to choose your favorite dishes. Some people even transfer their favorite dishes from the dishes and leave the bad ones to others. This is a very rude behavior, and it seems selfish.
8. Try not to make any noise while eating.
Teach children to keep their mouths shut when chewing rice, and slowly wait for the soup to cool before drinking. Don't drink when you come up.
9. Don't do anything else while eating.
Meal time is the time for family reunion and the best time to strengthen parent-child communication. Children will also have a lot to share with their parents. Please cherish this time. Remind children not to play with toys while eating. Try to create a quiet environment when eating, and don't let children watch TV while eating. At the same time, we should also remind parents that no matter how busy they are, don't answer the phone for a long time when eating. After all, in such a busy modern society, how happy it is for a family to have a nice meal together without any interruption.
10. Thank those who prepare food after meals.
1 1. Leave the table first after eating, and say hello to the elders: "I'm finished."
12. Help clear the table, chopsticks or wash dishes after meals.
Methods of teaching table manners:
1, have dinner together. The more opportunities children have to eat with their parents, the more they can learn proper manners.
2, do not require fast. Teach one or two rituals in a planned way at the same time.
3. The goal is reasonable. Every child is an independent individual. Parents should try their best to understand their children's abilities. What works for one child may not work for other children at all. Pay attention to the age difference.
4. Be flexible. If there is anything wrong with your child, relax and put it off until the next day.
5. Lively and interesting. Children are imaginative and like to play roles in life. Sometimes it is better to arrange exquisite meals for them, invite them to dress up for dinner, and teach them to behave in a way commensurate with their roles.
6. Practice regularly. Parents take their children to restaurants to familiarize them with the manners they usually learn in public.
7. Positive teaching. Children are easily disgusted with what they are forbidden to do. It is better to tell them what to do in advance than to criticize them after they have done something wrong.
8. Make good use of opportunities. On holidays, seize the opportunity to teach children the principles of dress, catering and coping.
9. Explain the reasons. At any time, try to explain the reasons for observing etiquette to children, which will help to cultivate children's awareness.
10, set an example. Teach children to learn from children who do well, and also educate them with videos, books and pictures.
As parents, we can't always follow our children, nor can we always stay with them, but I believe that the accumulation of happiness in details like table manners will definitely improve their happiness index and make their lives better.
