A good dad is better than a rich dad

Chapter 66 5 "Talk Your Opinion," Involving Children in Family Events

If the father never considers the child's feelings, the child will feel that he has no right to speak at home and has nowhere to vent his dissatisfaction.Over time, the child will either become a wimpy and taciturn "nerd", or a "nerd" who has nothing to do with himself.

The family conference allows children to find a window to speak. Here, children can be listened to, participate in communication and even solve problems, and all of these are carried out in an equal and democratic atmosphere. A good edification will exercise children's ability to think about problems, organize language, and actively participate. It will also help children feel that they are valued and gradually become independent.

Family meetings are a small channel through which a child develops.Children become familiar with the family structure through issues discussed at family meetings.In a complete family, chores, budget, schedule and lifestyle need to be considered.And these have laid a solid foundation for children to leave their parents, stand on their own, and better adapt to society in the future.It can exercise children's language expression ability.

The children's language expression and judgment ability have been exercised, and the discussions at the meeting have virtually expanded the children's horizons.

The child's thoughts are expressed and emotions are vented. At the same time, the parents enter the child's heart, the child's mental health is healthier, and the family will be more harmonious and stable.

At the end of each month, the child will take out the family meeting minutes, sit on the sofa with the parents, and start the monthly family meeting.This evening, the family sat together for a meeting again.

"Dad, are you satisfied with my performance this month?" The son asked his father sincerely.

"Well, I'm very satisfied. It's just that when you come home from get off work, take a shower as soon as possible, okay? Maybe it's because the weather is too hot, and you always complain about itching all over your body, which tortures your sleep."

"Well, okay, thank you for your reminder!" Er Liao wrote down the words "wash frequently" in the meeting minutes.

"I've always felt an inexplicable irritability in my heart during this time, and I don't know why." My mother said.

"I think it's because you stay at home for a long time to do housework and seldom go out to relax. During this period of time, my work is very stressful and I don't have much time to accompany you. Well, next Sunday, our family will go on an outing okay?"

"Your suggestion is great!" Mom said happily.So, under the lights, the family began to discuss the outing plans for the next weekend.

So, what should you pay attention to when holding a family meeting?In order to ensure that the family meeting can be held for a long time and effectively, what principles should be followed?There are the following points, Dad can borrow.
