What are the benefits of parent-child games?

Contemporary parents spend less and less time with their children. Most parents think that making more money to give their children a better life is the most important thing, but is it really so? Today, Xiao Xia will lead you to understand the benefits of parent-child games.

What are the benefits of parent-child games

Benefit 1: Promote the relationship between children and parents

I believe that everyone of us has watched a parent-child program called "Where Are We Going, Dad?" In the program, some fathers and their children do not have a very good relationship, but after participating in the program and doing parent-child activities with their children, the relationship will be much better than before and not so unfamiliar. Therefore, through activities, children will not be closed in their own world and will make more friends. This will also cultivate children's character and better enable children to develop healthily physically and mentally.

Benefit 2: Better tap into and develop children’s potential

Every child has his or her own strengths and weaknesses. We must learn to overcome the weaknesses, and we must carefully explore the strengths. As parents, we should often encourage our children, because parental affirmation is the greatest motivation for children. Through parent-child activities, we can see the strengths and weaknesses of our children, and educate them in a targeted manner, which will make children work harder, be more motivated, and be more motivated in learning.

Benefit 3: Promote the all-round development of children's morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics and labor

In this era of quality education, parent-child activities are an indispensable part of children's growth. Because we often see in the news that some students have good academic performance, but they have no ability to take care of themselves, which is a failure in children's education. When you participate in activities with your children, you can improve their hands-on ability and develop their brain intelligence.

Therefore, it is very beneficial to have sufficient contact with children and learn with them through playing. Because of these effects, parent-child activities are increasingly valued by parents, who attach importance to communicating with children in life, respecting their thinking and ideas, so as to understand them well.

What are the parent-child games?

1. Parent-child skipping rope game: parents lead their children to successfully jump into the rope together, and then successfully jump out of the rope together. The winner will receive a small prize.

2. Parent-child bench grabbing: Parents and children are divided into groups to grab benches at the same time. 8 families compete at the same time, and small prizes are distributed according to the order of the eliminated families.

3. Parent-child elephant throwing and catching sandbags: The child bends over and turns 5 times like an elephant, then throws the ball, and the parent catches the ball from a distance. Small prizes will be distributed according to the order of the number of hits.

4. Three-legged race: Five families compete at the same time according to the designated track on site, and small prizes are distributed according to the order in which they reach the finish line.

5. Mothers recognize their children: 5 mothers are blindfolded, and the children stand randomly in front of the mothers. The mothers recognize the children by touching their heads or faces; if they recognize their own children, they hold them. Small prizes will be distributed according to the situation.

The significance of parent-child games

1. It helps to enhance the emotional communication between parents and children. A philosopher in ancient Greece once said: Feelings are accumulated by communication. The sublimation of any kind of emotion depends on communication. Blood is thicker than water. Although the parent-child relationship is innate, due to the increasingly fierce competition in modern society, most young parents spend most of their energy on work and continuous learning and improvement. Once upon a time, the contact between parents and children was no longer as frequent as before, and the time spent playing games with children was significantly reduced. So why not take a sunny weekend to do a unique activity with your children? It will make your children love you more, and it will also give your tired heart from work a moment of peace and enjoy the real family happiness!

2. Parent-child activities are conducive to the healthy growth of children's body and mind. Modern health concepts have broadened the concept of health to three aspects: physiology, psychology and social adaptability. Parent-child activities combine education with entertainment, knowledge with games, and develop children's intelligence, improve their hands-on ability, reaction and creativity, so that children can be fully developed in morality, intelligence, physique, beauty and labor!

3. Parent-child activities are conducive to stimulating children's inner potential. I wonder if you parents have noticed that when you observe our teaching activities, your children often perform particularly well! In fact, every child has such a mentality, hoping that someone will look at him and that he will be the focus of his relatives' attention.

Some points parents should pay attention to in parent-child games

1. Interfering with your baby without thinking

For babies, everything in life is a process of exploration and play. However, many adults are confused and puzzled by the behavior of babies. Once they see babies playing games that they think are inappropriate, they will stop them without thinking. What's more, in order to amuse children, they always disturb them when they are playing. Little do they know that your behavior is preventing children from exploring the world.

2. Judging babies with adult thinking

Games are the best way for babies to learn and grow. Some parents always like to measure their babies' gaming behavior based on their own thoughts and values, forcing their babies to play games or use toys they don't like, completely ignoring the fact that the baby is the protagonist of the game.

3. Playing games that are not appropriate for your baby’s age

Babies of different ages have different interests and passions. For example, a one-year-old baby is particularly interested in certain sounds, such as the sound of coins falling to the ground, the sound of music bells, the calls of strange animals in nature, etc. Older children are not very interested in these simple things that can be recognized by sound. They are more interested in large toys and the vast outdoor world.

4. Ignoring good gaming habits

After all, it is a children's game, so there are no rules. If you think this way, you are totally wrong. Good game habits have a vital impact on the growth of babies. Let the baby learn to abide by the rules of the game, arrange the game time reasonably, etc. These are the best ways to help the baby understand the rules of social behavior.

5. Not giving your baby the right to play independently

Many parents think that it is lonely for babies to play alone, so they always try to take time to play with their children. In fact, babies often prefer to play alone. Although they are still young, they also need their own space. Even babies who are only a few months old will never get tired of playing with their hands and feet alone.
