Progress of the event:
Introductory part
Hello, dear parents! Thank you for taking the opportunity to come to today's meeting.
And I want to start our communication with the memories of the serf peasant Fyodor Bobkov. Here's what he wrote about his childhood:
“My participation in the work consisted of winding threads on small bobbins for weaving calico. During the summer, my responsibility was to babysit my brother and sister, who were younger than me. During the harvest, I stayed alone with them in the house. I didn’t bother with them very much - I gave Petrushka a piece of bread, Katya a pacifier and ran off to play with the boys, completely forgetting about my pets. Occasionally our neighbor, Aunt Matryona, would shout at me for leaving the children unattended, then I would return home, shove a piece of bread into one’s mouth, a pacifier into another’s mouth, and run away again. Until winter I ran barefoot, and in winter I walked in bast shoes.” .
It was not without reason that I read this excerpt from my memoirs. Each of us, listening to this passage, was mentally transported to those distant times. They introduced this little boy and drew a parallel with children today.
Perhaps there was some kind of special education system for peasant children, but most of them grew up in their natural environment and learned everything new themselves, getting their bearings.
Much has changed in our lives and in the lives of our children. The school curriculum has become more complicated, and it has become more difficult to study. So parents make a “sacrifice”: they take on all the housework themselves.
We want our children to live better than we do, and we free them from all workload, from all responsibilities, for some reason thinking that living “better” means living without doing anything.
And today we have gathered together to understand this difficult issue.
I propose to split into two groups. We will be equally interested to hear the opinions of fathers and mothers. In the first group we will only have mothers, and the second group will consist of fathers.
And so, we begin.
Practical part:
1. WHAT DOES IT MEAN to prepare a child for life? What is the main guarantee that this life, so dear to us, will be lived beautifully, brightly, and profitably? We will probably not be mistaken if we say: the main thing is to teach people to love work and find a source of joy in it.
To begin with, I will ask the members of both teams to define the concept of “hard work” . What do you think the concept of hard work includes?
- This is the moral quality of a child’s personality, manifested in his awareness, responsibility, satisfaction with the work process, the child’s interest in achieving useful results of his work, and a positive attitude towards the work of an adult.
— Hard work is a character trait that consists of a person’s positive attitude towards the process of work.
(task analysis)
2. And now I propose to play the “Yes - No” . There are cards with questions on the tray; you need to divide these cards into three groups. The first group is those tasks that your child most often performs at home. The second group is those tasks that the child rarely performs. And third, these are those instructions that the child does not complete at all. At the end of the game we will analyze the result.
List of instructions:
- Assist parents in cleaning the apartment.
- Cleans up his desk and his room.
- Take care of your younger brother or sister.
- He washes his small things.
- Washes tea (or other) dishes.
- Keeps shoes clean.
- Takes out the trash.
- Feeds pets, birds, aquarium fish.
- Walks with a dog, cat.
- Goes to the store independently (for bread, milk, etc.).
- Takes care of plants.
- Helps with food preparation (washes vegetables for salad, rolls out dough)
- Sets the table and clears the table.
- Glues books and board game boxes.
- Performs feasible work on the plot.
- Makes his bed.
(task analysis)
What kind of help with housework can preschool children provide? The range is quite wide. Remember, when giving instructions to a child, it is necessary to clearly explain what is being done, why, and why. The child needs to know why he needs to perform certain tasks and what result should be achieved. This is the only way for preschoolers to form an idea of the need for these actions.
3. Among modern scientists there is an opinion that labor should not be divided into “male” and “female” . Do you agree with this opinion? If not, why not?
Parents should know that both girls and boys need to be taught to do all types of homework equally. It is necessary that boys and girls equally learn to do everything necessary around the house and not consider doing this work as something unworthy of themselves. Anyone who has observed children knows that in early childhood, boys are just as willing as girls to help their mother cook, wash dishes, and do any housework. But usually in families, from a very early age, differences between boys and girls begin to show.
I will ask the team of mothers to describe the work activities of the boys, and let the fathers determine work assignments for the girls.
Labor education of girls
Girls need to be involved in household work: taught to clean the house, do laundry, cook simple meals, and set the table. Such activities should be unobtrusive and properly organized so that the baby becomes more and more willing to help her mother. The daughter needs to understand that they need her help. As you grow older, you need to add more complex tasks: handicrafts, caring for the younger ones. Working together, mother and daughter develop mutual understanding. In the future, all this will have a positive impact on caring for elderly parents.
Labor education of boys
The best example for a son is his father. If dad sits on the couch all day long and does not help his wife, then most likely the boy will not grow up to be a hard worker.
Depending on the age of the baby, dad can assign various work activities: helping during the repair of any items, giving tools, assisting with work in the garden or garage. A common cause promotes rapprochement and improvement of relationships. Repairing some simple household appliances can be turned into an interesting activity, stimulating the child’s greater interest.
(task analysis)
4. Each team has a list of ways to involve a child in work. Your task is to rank these methods in your opinion according to the principle of effectiveness. Which of these methods is the most effective in your opinion and why?
- Request
- Compulsion
- Promotion
- OK
- Gratitude
- Competition
- Punishment
A request is the best and gentlest way of addressing, but you should not abuse the request. The request form is best used in cases where you know well that the child will gladly fulfill your request. If you have any doubt about this, use the form of an ordinary order, calm, confident, businesslike.
Coercion can be different - from a simple repetition of an order to a sharp and demanding repetition. In any case, you should never resort to physical coercion, since it brings the least benefit and causes the child to have an aversion to the work task.
Encouragement - approval, gratitude, awards expressing the advantages of evaluating the child’s activities.
Approval is a simple type of encouragement.
Gratitude is on a higher level.
Competition is a method of directing the natural need for competition and priority in cultivating the qualities needed by a person and society. Efficiency increases if the tasks are determined by the children themselves.
Punishment – this issue is still debated. It should prevent unwanted actions, slow them down, and cause a feeling of guilt towards oneself and other people.
The biggest challenge for parents is how to deal with so-called lazy children. Laziness develops in a child due to improper upbringing, when from a very young age parents do not instill in the child energy, do not teach him to overcome obstacles, do not arouse in him interest in the family household, do not instill in him the habit of work and the habits of those pleasures that work always delivers. There is only one way to combat laziness: gradually drawing the child into the field of work, slowly arousing his interest in work.
4. So, in a family, work for children should be feasible. A child may have household chores that he performs constantly. For example, taking care of your shoes, clothes, toys. At an older age, the child can already wash his own dishes, care for pets, water indoor plants, etc.
You have cards on your tables with various situations that can happen in the family. We need to discuss them and, if possible, formulate rules that will help raise a hardworking child.
A) The child does not have time to complete your instructions on time, because he is too slow and clumsy in his movements. How to proceed?
(Give extra time. You can, of course, peacefully offer your help: “Well, how are you doing? Let’s go together, do you want?” But if you can be patient and allow your son or daughter to finish what they started, this is more correct.)
B) The child completed the assignment: he cleaned his room. Clearly he tried. To thank or not to thank? And how to thank?
(A kind word from parents is an important reward. You need to show that you appreciate his work. After all, cooking dinner for you is a common thing, but it’s nice to hear praise. Let him feel that you consider him an adult.)
(task analysis)
5. Labor education of preschoolers is carried out using a number of means: children’s own labor activity, familiarization with the work of adults, artistic means.
Which of the three is the leading remedy and why?
Labor activity is the leading means of labor education. Children's own labor activity is a necessary means of labor education.
Familiarization with the work of adults. This tool allows you to expand the child’s understanding of the content of human activity, the social significance of work, and the attitude towards work.
Artistic media: fiction, music, visual arts. With the help of this group of tools, children form ideas about the content of work, about people’s attitude towards work, about how others evaluate the work of other people, etc.
Homework
Dear parents, at the end of our meeting I would like to ask you to participate in the creation of the book “My Family’s Labor Traditions” . Write about your family work traditions. What work traditions do you have in your family? Do children need them? Place photographs and drawings about your family work on the pages. Share your experience and interesting information. We will put all the pages into our “work” book. We will update it with interesting work events. This will be your homework
Final part:
Let's summarize our meeting. Let's answer the questions that we posed at the beginning of our conversation: Why is it necessary to instill a love of work in children?
To the question: “How to educate through labor?” We also tried to answer. The following were presented to your attention and for discussion: forms, methods, principles, conditions, rules for organizing labor activity. I hope that today's meeting helped you understand the very important issues of labor education. And I really hope that many of you will take advantage of our tips and recommendations.
— Once, one restless mother asked the great teacher A. S. Makarenko:
— “At what age should you start raising a child if he is now 9 months old?
- You are exactly 9 months late! - answered Makarenko.
I would like to wish all of us that we would never be late in matters of education.
Thank you all for your participation. See you again!

Labor education activities
“Why are events needed in such a not very joyful activity as labor education?” – this question is sometimes asked by students of pedagogical colleges, as well as young parents. First, tell yourself why events are needed at all? Why do kindergartens and schools spend extra time (often more money) on organizing themed parties, conversations, excursions, parents’ living rooms and other interesting moments? What is their purpose?
Educational activities would be very boring if not for the variety of methods and forms. The form of leisure is one of the most effective. In an informal setting, with a positive attitude, often with music and laughter, the most important pedagogical tasks are solved , the materials learned are consolidated, useful experience is gained, and the ties between the educational institution and families are strengthened.

Progress of the game . The teacher and children join hands and stand in a circle. A child comes to the center of the circle. The musical director plays. Everyone walks in a circle and sings: We’re walking in a circle, we’ll sing a song for you. We don’t know what you’re doing, we’ll have a look and guess. The child imitates labor actions with movements, but if possible, he conveys them with sounds. For example, he cleans the floor with a vacuum cleaner, hammers a nail, saws, drives a car, washes, chops wood, grates, etc. Children guess the actions.
