Each of us wants his house to be cozy, comfortable, unique, so that it is always, wherever anyone is far from home from family members, he knew that he was waiting for him at home, always listen and understand, help in difficult times.It is for this that in families the traditions should live that children must adopt and transfer to their future families.About the traditions of frugality, about the emergence of skills energy saving in childrenWe’ll talk.Psychologists claim how the child will subsequently react to himself, others and life as a whole - completely and completely depends on parents.Life can seem to him an endless holiday or a fascinating journey, or can be seen as a boring, ungrateful and hard work, when visiting the school.The child perceives the world through the eyes of adults - his parents.
There are external factors that affect family traditions.The modern standard of living and progress dictates their own rules, and there is no longer any special thing that the three -year -old - four -year -old baby easily copes with the wisdom of the computer, with the inclusion and disconnection of lighting in the rooms.With the inclusion of TV and watching children's programs.He also opens and closes the taps with water, knows where hot water is, where it is cold.He carefully touches heating radiators and knows that it (heating) works when it is cold outside, and does not work when there is warm on the street.
Energy saving from 5 to 10
After 5 - 7 years, he is already interested in questions: where does the gas come from and how does it go to the apartment?;Why is it necessary to refuel the car with fuel and where does it come from?;Why does the electricity turn off (at the time of viewing children's programs) and water (when the child is washed in the bathroom) and who depends on?;Why do you need to go out of town and breathe clean air, and not play in the yard with your friends?All these problems, one way or another, are associated with energy conservation, ecology, are relevant in our time and excite adults.Can it be interested Energy saving of young children 5 - 10 years of age?Can they consciously contribute to its decision?
We will answer right away - they can if adult family members are interested in this.There are a number of children's training programs in the field of energy conservation and ecology in different countries of the world for preschool and school educational institutions.True, I must say that such programs are not required to study and training is carried out on a voluntary basis.But the day when the relevant state regulatory documents and the issues of energy savings, energy conservation for children will be adopted as the rules of behavior, the history of the native land, geography, etc. will be accepted. So that the child quickly masters these concepts in the kindergarten, in the elementary schools, he needs to help him do this in the family.After 5 years, the child begins to know the world in a playful way.He really likes the games and especially if his beloved people play with him: dad, mother, brother, sister, grandparents.
I myself witnessed a good pedagogical approach to the economical consumption of water in a young family.Mom taught her 4-year-old son to brush her teeth in the morning and evening.When the question at the family council was about water saving, in order to reduce payment for its consumption, my mother organized a game with her son who will save water more, while brushing her teeth.She showed her son a water meter, and he became convinced that the counter of the counter was spinning when the crane was open.She explained how economically to consume water during teeth brushing (I hope you know how) and offered a reward for who will save more.The son liked the game so much that upon the arrival of his 3-year-old cousin (we accidentally overheard their conversation), while they were together in the bathroom and brushed our teeth alternately, the elder taught the younger to open the ticky brush and picking up water to rinse the mouth into the mug.The conversation of the kids ended with a phrase, - tomorrow with mom we will see the water counter and get the prize!
Another example.Dad offered a game to his five -year -old son - good deeds.The list of good deeds that the Son could do was included a lot: help mom, remove the toys for herself and for the younger sister, bring and give dad a tool when performing the latter of any repair, etc.At the end of each day, all good deeds made by his son were recorded at the family council and points were affixed.Dad suggested his son in the list of good deeds to include electricity savings, showed a platform of an electric counter with numbers and explained what needs to be done so that the value was less.At this age, children know numbers and can distinguish a larger number from the smaller.A special prize was proposed for the implementation of this good deed.A week later, the 5-year-old baby clearly learned, if there is no one in the children's room, the light should be disconnected if you leave the bathroom, you need to turn off the light, if no one watches the TV, it needs to be turned off.He did it himself or resembled adults.It came to the point that sometimes parents, to the detriment of themselves, refused to watch television programs, understanding the importance of the skills acquired by their child.
Simple rules for saving resources
Examples show that family problems to reduce payment of utility bills for the energy consumed can be solved with the help of children, while the child develops the skills of proper, respect for energy resources for which the family pays money.This is energy conservation in childhood.And yet, it is very important that these concepts and skills turn into the rules of behavior to save electricity in everyday life, their children know from the closest people, spending and communicating with them for more time.In conclusion, accept some tips that you can use to save energy with children.
