Do As I Do: How to Involve Your Child in Your Work

Raising a child is not only about taking care of his physical and mental health, but also preparing for his future life. One of the main tasks of parents is to develop the child’s interest in work and study. How to do it? One way is to involve your child in your work.

Many parents work from home or take jobs where they can bring their child with them. If you have the opportunity to do this, don't miss it. Prepare a second set of work supplies and have your child sit next to you so that he can repeat everything you do. This will help your child understand that work is important and that it requires effort.

Kids love to have toys, a telephone, notepads of different sizes, magazines, reference books, pencils, pens, ink pads, etc. next to them. Don’t forget about this and try to provide the child with everything necessary for doing “business.”

If you work in an office or even a factory, garage or store, try to find a place where your child can work while looking at you. This will help him better understand what exactly you do at work and how it relates to life in general.

If your child has trouble sitting still, have him talk on the phone with his grandparents or his friends. This will help him get distracted and relax. We know one mother, driven to complete despair, who called her parents even in another city. While she was trying to do the necessary work as quickly as possible, the grandmother was reading a fairy tale to the baby on the phone. This was not only useful for the child, but also helped the mother cope with the task.

Involving a child in your work is not only a way to develop interest in work, but also an opportunity to spend more time with him. Working together with your child will help you better understand him and get to know his interests. This will also help the child understand that work is important and that he can be useful in society.

In conclusion, do as I do - involve your child in your work. This will help him develop an interest in work and study, and you will spend more time with him and understand him better.
