Each of us wants his house was cozy, comfortable, unique, always, where one was not far from home, from family members, he knew what awaits him at home, always listen and understand, to help in difficult times. Exactly for this purpose, in the families, the Tradition should be, the children need to learn and transfer in your future family. On the Tradition of thrift, about the appearance of the capabilities of energy saving in the case of children, we speak in this article.
Psychologists say how the child will later on treat yourself, others and life in General – depending on the parents. Life can be presented to him, the endless holiday or a fascinating trip, and maybe see how a boring, thankless, and hard work, when you visit the school. The child perceives the world through the eyes of adults – his parents.
There are external factors that influence on the family tradition. Modern standard of living and progress dictate the rules, and there is nothing special about that three-year-old to cope with the four – year-old child easily with the intricacies of the computer, with the activation and deactivation of the lighting in the rooms. With the switch on the TV and children's programs to watch. He opens and closes water valves, know where the hot water where cold. Carefully touched to the radiators, and I know that the heater works when it is cold outside and not running when it is warm.
After 5 – 7 years, it is interested in the questions: where does the Gas and as he comes in the apartment?; why must the car with fuel and where it comes from?; why does the current (at the time of display of children's programs), and water (to clean if the child is in the bathroom) and by whom it depends?; why it is necessary to leave the city and breathe fresh air instead of playing in the yard with your friends?
All these problems, one way or another, connected with energy saving, ecology, relevant in our time and to inspire adults. Whether energy-saving small children 5 to interest 10 years? Whether you contribute consciously to the solution?
Answers may, if you are interested in the adult members of the family. There are a number of children-learning programs in the field of energy saving and ecology in Belarus, Russia, Ukraine for the preschool and school educational institutions. The truth must be said, that such programs will be mandatory for education and training on a voluntary Basis. But the day is near when the corresponding state regulations and issues of energy saving, energy saving for children are assumed to be equally understandable, as the rules of behavior, the history of his native land, geography, and others.
The child quickly mastered these concepts in the Kindergarten to help in the lower level of the school, him to do it in the family. After 5 years, the child, the world begins in a playful way. He likes the game and especially when you play with him with his favorite people: father, mother, brother, sister, grandma and grandpa.
I myself was a witness of the good pedagogical approach for a sparing use of water in a young family. My mother taught her 4-year-old son even brush your teeth in the morning and in the evening. If the question in the family was playing on the saving of water, reduction of payment for the consumption, the mother organized with the son, who saves more water, while cleaning the teeth. Showed to the son of the water meter, and he made sure that the drum counter rotate when the faucet is opened. Explained, such as the economical use of water when brushing your teeth (I hope you know how) and offered a reward for anyone who saves more.
Game little son, so that after the arrival of his 3-year-old Cousin, brother (we inadvertently their conversation to eavesdrop), while if you were in the bathroom together and brush the teeth alternately, a Senior taught the younger open the water tap only to wash the toothbrush and the type of water used for rinsing the mouth in a Cup. The conversation of the children with the phrase ended, morning with mom, water meter and receive a prize!
Another example of this. Father to his five year old son, bot, the game – good works. In the list of good deeds that could do son, was many things: help mom, the toys put away, for themselves and for the younger sister, and a father Tool in the execution of the last repairs, etc. At the end of each day, the family wrote all of the good works done son, and bring you points. Father beat son in the list of the good deeds of the energy savings enable, showed the display panel power meter with numbers and explained what to do, the size was less.
At this age, children the numbers and be able to distinguish a larger number of smaller ones. For the execution of this good work of the special price offered. A week later, 5-year-old child apparently learned, if there is no one in the nursery, the light must be turned off, if you are disabled out of the bathroom, the light must be, when no one's watching TV, it needs to be turned off. Then he did it reminded itself, or adults. It came to be that sometimes the parents refused to do so to the detriment of themselves, watch television, recognize the importance of skills for your child.
These examples show that problems in the family to the reduction of the payment of the costs for energy consumption can solve with the help of the children, the child has to be paid about the right skills, respect for the energy, for the family money. This is the energy saving in the age of the child. And very important, these concepts and skills are transformed into rules of conduct to save energy in the household, your children will learn about the people closest to you, and after talking with them more time.
