Sometimes it is not easy to convince your little one that brushing their teeth or washing their face is what they need. And adult arguments about the need to observe hygiene rules do not have a positive effect.
Children do not like the words "you must" and "you need", but every child loves rhymes and nursery rhymes, especially those told and sung by their beloved mother. Our ancestors knew a lot about the upbringing and development of children, much of their experience is now forgotten and not used, but the so-called "artistic word" is the principle of pedagogy that really works and brings joy to both mom and baby.
Of course, it is necessary to talk about the importance of hygiene procedures, as well as to show your own example and read fiction on this topic. However, a funny nursery rhyme or a funny rhyme can make the baby forget about tears and listen to his mother's voice, and subsequently he will really love all these procedures that will help him grow up healthy.
When telling nursery rhymes, it is advisable to follow a few rules:
- Reading by heart - it will be inconvenient for you to hold a book with one hand and wash your child's neck with the other. Nursery rhymes are simple and memorize in a few minutes. If you are not at all sure about your memory, print them on a sheet and hang them on the bathroom wall.
- Emotionality - read nursery rhymes joyfully, monotonous mumbling will not delight anyone. And here it doesn't matter what you are telling, poetry or a speech on philosophy.
- Make eye contact with your baby - your baby should see your happy face, your smiling eyes. Every line of your face should tell him how much you love him, how glad you are, how pleasant it is to wash your face and become clean and cheerful.
