Do children only care about themselves when they eat?
A small incident at a wedding reflected the education issue of many families when an 11-year-old boy seemed angry and selfish for not being able to eat first. The reason is that the boy is used to being prioritized and treated specially as a “little emperor”.
Some children have such selfish attitudes because of their parents’ misguided upbringing, always putting their children in a “VIP” position.
To avoid raising a selfish child, parents need to change their educational approach by not allowing the child to eat first, not putting the best food in front of the child, and not allowing the child to be picky about food. This is to teach the child gratitude and respect for others.
Do children behave well at the dinner table?
In a family meal, every small action at the dinner table creates a cultural image, from the way of using chopsticks and spoons, it reflects the educational foundation and respect for others of the child. A child lacking etiquette in behavior can upset others even if they have many talents. On the contrary, children who are wise in their behavior are always accepted everywhere they go.
Comedian Quach Duc Cuong has established a specific set of rules for his son to apply during dinner:
Do not pout while eating; When the family is sitting together, no one stands up recklessly; Serve the best dish to the guest first; When adding food for the guest, invite them by saying “Can I add more for you?” instead of asking if they want more.
The dining table is not only a place for culinary enjoyment but also a place for soul education, where children learn how to behave and respect others. To raise a child with morals and etiquette, setting rules and starting education early is extremely important.
Do children actively engage in conversation with their parents?
Some parents have a habit of criticizing and educating their children at the dinner table, hoping that the child will recognize and correct their flaws. However, this often makes the child feel uncomfortable, not paying attention to their parents’ words, and even creating distance in the relationship.
The dining table should be a space to express affection, a place to examine and build the relationship between parents and their children. To nurture happiness and closeness, parents should create intimate and joyful conversations about daily life, thereby connecting and exchanging emotions with their children in a warm and friendly atmosphere at the dining table.
Do children help before and after meals?
Parents should encourage their children to participate in household chores such as cooking and cleaning up to learn independence and responsibility like other family members. This helps children appreciate the efforts of others and develop care for the family.
Education is not just about academics but also about learning how to live and take care of oneself, which is important for a child’s overall development. Parents need to treat their children as independent individuals, instructing them with equality and understanding, so that children can have the necessary “spiritual vitamins” for confidence, joy, and responsibility in life.
