When it comes to guiding children to interact with their elders, we often witness some parents getting angry at their children's failure to take the initiative to greet them, and even scolding their children in front of their elders, using overly harsh words to force them to salute. Here are some of the less appropriate expressions parents use in this regard:
1."Why are you so rude?Say hello to your elders!”
2."How old are you, and you don't know how to take the initiative to greet your elders?”
3."In front of the elders, you should say hello and say hello!”
4."Can't you speak?Say hello!”
5."Why don't you say hello?".It's rude!”
Usually, when a child does not take the initiative to say hello to the elders, many parents will first use the words accusing the child of being impolite, and almost do not care about the child's feelings, so they often ignore the reason why the child does not say hello to the elders.
So, what are the reasons why children do not take the initiative to say hello to their elders?
1.The child does not know how to greet the elders.
2.Children will feel nervous and scared when they see their elders, and they will not dare to say hello loudly.
3.The child is introverted and shy, and does not dare to take the initiative to speak.
4.Parents do not usually take the initiative to greet others and do not set a good example for their children.
From the above, it can be seen that the child's failure to take the initiative to greet the elders is not a sign of impoliteness. Therefore, when faced with the child's failure to say hello to the elders, parents should not be angry or annoyed at first, but can take the initiative to ask the child why he did not say hello and help them realize the importance of taking the initiative to say hello.
Here are some suggested words for parents:
1."You're nervous when you see the elders!But it's a very important etiquette to say hello even if you're nervous. ”
2."You are not familiar with the elders who came to the house today, come, my mother introduced you to meet them. ”
3."Mom wants you to take the initiative to come up and say hello to the elders!Do you want to try it?”
4."Look, Dad is greeting the elders one by one!Do you want to be like your dad and say hello to everyone?”
Parents take the initiative to ask the reason why their children do not say hello to their elders, which on the one hand helps parents find the root cause of their children's failure to say hello, and on the other hand, it can convey the attitude of parents to care about their emotions and feelings, so as to promote a closer parent-child relationship. This method can be described as killing two birds with one stone, and parents can learn from it.
