Dear parents! Today we have gathered with you to talk about family, about family traditions and their importance in the upbringing and development of a preschool child. Before we start our conversation, I suggest you relax and play a little.
The game “Item of my childhood” objects are laid out on the table: a doll, a soft toy, a ball, a car, etc., etc. Everyone chooses an object and tells an episode from their childhood.
Parents fill out mini-questionnaires:
1. What do you think is included in the concept of “family traditions”?
2. What family traditions do you have in your family?
3. Do family traditions influence the upbringing of a child?
4. What positive character traits do they develop in the child?
Family traditions are, first of all, holidays that are celebrated by all family members and, of course, the child’s birthday; gala dinners on weekends. This could be a tradition of planting a tree, or going out of town on New Year’s Eve to decorate the Christmas tree. It is a tradition to visit exhibitions, museums, and theaters with your child. These include joint games, hikes, walks, and outings. Compiling your pedigree and family albums. Organizing family concerts.
-Do you think holidays are necessary for children in the family? (Answers)
Yes, a child needs a holiday like air for full development. A holiday for a child is not the same as for us adults. A holiday is an event in a child’s life, and a child counts his days from holiday to holiday, just as we count our years from one event to another.
-How do you organize children's parties in your family? (Answers)
Oddly enough, adults often organize children's parties for themselves. The adults have their own conversations, but the child at such a holiday is bored and offended, everyone has forgotten about him. However, if the child is left at the common table, he becomes a witness and participant in adult conversations, then he gets used to being the center of attention, which develops immodesty and swagger in him.
You should remember that too. That you should not try to force him to perform against the will of the child: to sing, recite poetry. The child himself will express a desire to sing or dance if it happens to him in the game.
— Do you think it is necessary to decorate the apartment for the holiday? What will this give the child?
Yes, it is advisable to decorate. This will create a certain mood, and it is important for both adults and children to take part in this. On birthdays, it is important to give gifts to children.
-What gifts do you give to children? (Answers)
Each toy should develop the child’s thinking, attention, and memory. It’s good to give children toys, balls, books. For the development of fine motor skills - pencils, plasticine, construction sets, mosaics, various puzzles. In this case, you should pay attention to how the child accepts the gift and how he thanks for it.
To make your child’s birthday memorable, you need to think through the program in advance: games, competitions, attractions. The success of a children's celebration depends on the invention and imagination of adults.
In many families, there is a tradition of marking the child’s growth on the door frame, so that he can see how much he has grown in a year.
2. Tradition of “compiling your family’s pedigree”
It will be very good if you and your child start collecting stories of this kind.
Plant a family tree. This will become the most precious piece of the inheritance that we must and can leave behind.
3. Tradition of “family archives”: a family should have its own archive - certificates of honor from fathers and grandfathers, stories of merit. Medals and orders.
- Tell. What can preserve the history of a family line?
- Does your family have a family album?
4. Tradition “Family Album”
This is a huge meaningful space of life. On the one hand, simple and understandable, on the other, mysterious and amazing.
— When was the last time you leafed through your family album?
5. tradition of “family recreation in nature”
6. tradition “Family visits to theaters, museums, exhibitions”
7.tradition “Collecting”
— What can a family collect? (cones, stones, shells, stamps, candy wrappers, beads)
It is in our hands to raise children to be literate, kind, educated, well-mannered, loving and respectful not only of their parents, but also of everything that connects them with the distant past.
Speech at a parent meeting “The role of family traditions in raising a student”
The role of family traditions in raising a schoolchild
Dear parents! Today we have gathered to talk about family, family traditions and their importance in the upbringing and development of a child.
For a long time, people talked about home and family with a smile and love. Legends, fairy tales, proverbs and sayings have survived to this day. Let's remember them together.
1. Away is good, but... (at home is better).
2. The hut is not red in its corners, but... (red in its pies).
3. There is discord in the family, and at home... (not happy).
4. The family agrees that this is how things go... (great).
5. When the family is together and... (heart in the right place).
The family gives the child the main thing - what no one else can give. Raising a child begins with the relationship that reigns in the family between parents. Habits similar to those of adults are deposited in the minds of children. After all, children’s behavior is modeled on the example of copying.
Children are raised not only by their parents as such, but also by the family life that develops.
It is very important for a child to know that he is trusted, to feel important and needed. Joint activities instill in children a sense of responsibility, confidence, increase self-esteem, develop positive emotions: a feeling of joy, satisfaction, but most importantly, bring them closer to their parents, brothers, sisters and other family members. The most striking element of family education is family traditions.
Tradition in Latin means transmission. Traditions are what has been passed on from one generation to another (views, tastes, ideas, customs). Family traditions bring all relatives closer together, making a family a family, and not just a community of relatives by blood. Home customs and rituals can become a kind of vaccination against the alienation of children from their parents and their mutual misunderstanding.
Family traditions and rituals:
● allow the child to feel a stable lifestyle:
“whatever the weather”, what is planned will happen in your family;
● give him a feeling of confidence in the world around him and security;
● set you up for optimism and a positive outlook on life
● create a unique childhood memory that your child will someday tell his children about;
● allow you to feel proud of yourself.
Every family has family traditions. There are many such traditions - you just need to take a closer look at the life of the family and call the usual things in loud words. A reverent and attentive attitude to rituals is especially important if the child is sick, upset or offended. The seriousness and respect with which adults treat the child’s habits, which they themselves created, contributes to the development of his sense of self-worth. He learns to respect his words and promises, to be consistent, and to keep his word.
If you say the word “childhood” and close your eyes, then along with your loved ones, your family, something special will appear in your mind, unique only to your family. This “something” is a family tradition. And it is remembered only because it was repeated many times, firmly settled in the memory and is already inextricably linked with a certain reaction to any event. What traditions live in your home? Surely those that you remember in childhood, which were painted with bright colors of various impressive little things.
There are traditions based on the seasons. Every spring, participate in Earth Day by picking up trash in the forest. And after that, go into the clean forest to listen to the birds. Make feeders in the fall. In winter, place treats in these feeders. For the little ones - before the New Year - as much as a month in advance! - write a letter to Santa Claus with requests and “promises”.
In one family, these could be evening conversations with parents and grandparents about their lives, about how the country lived in those years when they were children. Family readings, when not only parents read, but also older children and grandparents, are a great opportunity to usefully spend an evening with the family, relax, chat and leave unforgettable impressions of these evenings in the child’s memory.
Formal dinners on weekends, when the whole family is gathered and receives a festive service. This could be a tradition of planting a tree, or decorating a live Christmas tree for the New Year. It is a tradition to visit exhibitions, theaters, and museums with your child. These are also cooperative games. This is also a congratulation from relatives. These include traditional hikes, walks and picnics in nature. This includes compiling your pedigree and compiling family albums. The ritual of meeting and seeing each other off to work and school, when everyone present at home says kind words to you.
¨This is a caring attitude towards each other, when someone comes home later than everyone else, a warmed dinner is waiting for him on the table;
¨This is also the ability to take into account everyone’s desire: not to turn on music or TV if someone is preparing homework or relaxing;
You can give many examples of different family traditions. What they have in common is the reverence with which everyone remembers them, the desire to bring them into their family. If your family doesn’t have traditions, create some. This will make your life more interesting. And your children's childhood is much richer. Do not forget only three main rules that traditions must meet:
● a recurring event for a child should be bright, positive, and memorable;
● tradition is a tradition to always be observed;
● you can use smells, sounds, visual images - the main thing is that there is something in this traditional action that affects the child’s feelings and perceptions.
When creating individual traditions for your home, it is worth remembering that any rules are good if they make life better and do not complicate it.
It is very important that the child is an active participant in family traditions, and not an observer, so that he prepares and lives this tradition together with everyone, only then will it become a tradition for him and his future family. To summarize, I would like to tell you an interesting parable.
Once upon a time there lived an unusual family. There were more than a hundred people in this family. And she occupied the whole village. You will say: so what, you never know there are many big families in the world, but the fact is that she was special - peace and harmony reigned in that family. No quarrels, no swearing, no, God forbid, fights and strife. Rumors about this family reached the very ruler of the country, who decided to check whether people were telling the truth. He arrived in the village, and his soul rejoiced: all around was purity, beauty, prosperity and peace. Good for children, calm for old people. The lord was surprised. He decided to find out how the villagers achieved such harmony, came to the head of the family and asked to tell how he achieved such harmony and peace in the family. He took a sheet of paper and began to write something. I wrote for a long time. Apparently he wasn’t very good at reading and writing. Then he handed the sheet to the bishop. He took the paper and began to sort out the old man’s scribbles. I took it apart with difficulty and was surprised. Three words were written on paper: LOVE, FORGIVENESS, PATIENCE. And at the end of the sheet: A hundred times LOVE, A hundred times FORGIVENESS, A hundred times PATIENCE. The bishop read, scratched, as usual, behind his ear and asked: “And that’s all?” “Yes,” the old man answered, “this is the basis of the life of any good family.” - And, after thinking, he added: - And peace too.
Good family traditions have a huge impact on raising children, primarily because they unite the family.
Research by psychologists, sociologists, and teachers shows: the conditions in which children were born and raised leave an imprint on their entire lives and even predetermine their fate.
As is the family, so is the child growing in it. Remember this, dear adults! After all, there is a famous saying: “A child learns what he sees in his home. Parents are an example of this!” Let the children have a kind and reliable friend, parent, mentor in life; it depends on you how your child will grow up. Love your children, respect their opinions, and they will answer you the same! I wanted to end my speech with a wonderful poem by Maria Langer
Family is happiness, love and luck, Family is summer trips to the country. Family is a holiday, family dates, Gifts, shopping, pleasant spending. The birth of children, the first step, the first babble, Dreams of good things, excitement and trepidation. Family - this is work, caring for each other, Family is a lot of homework. Family is important! Family is difficult! But it is impossible to live happily alone! Always be together, take care of love, Drive away grievances and quarrels, We want it to be about you friends said: What a good family this is!
All the best! See you again!
