Topics
Kirk Martin: 我倾向于提供非标准答案,以激发不同的思考和实验方式,因为标准答案通常对意志坚强的孩子无效,甚至适得其反。我提出的答案不一定在所有情况下都适用,但希望能帮助你从不同的角度看待问题。为了激发孩子的兴趣,可以尝试让家务变得更具挑战性或难度。可以鼓励孩子以独特甚至让你感到恼火的方式完成家务,因为他们喜欢独立和长大。孩子们通常不喜欢被监视,因为这会让他们感到自己总是失败,所以可以尝试让他们在不被监视的情况下完成任务。孩子们通常喜欢成为唯一一个早起或熬夜的人,这会让他们感到自己像个成年人。如果孩子喜欢在不被监视的情况下做事,或者喜欢早起或熬夜,那么可以将这种方式应用到他们的家庭作业上,让他们自己决定如何、在哪里甚至何时完成作业。如果你是全职父母或在家教育的父母,可以让另一方来处理这类情况,因为你每天给孩子太多指示,容易感到沮丧。孩子们对你的语气非常敏感,所以尝试用积极、乐观、鼓励的语气与他们交流。尝试在和女儿一起做家务时,询问她喜欢的事情,对她感兴趣的事情表现出兴趣。即使孩子需要学习听从指示和做他们不喜欢的事情,但如果现有的指示不起作用,可以尝试改变方式。可以改变时间限制,例如将完成任务的时间限制在7分钟或17分钟内,或者创建一个新的家庭传统,在特定的时间播放孩子喜欢的歌曲,大家一起做不同的家务。
