How to cultivate good habits

A positive sense of experience can also help children develop to good habits. In the initial stage of cultivating children's good habits, help children to feel the comfort and pleasure brought about by forming good habits. For example, tidying up the toys so that they can be easily accessed the next time. Help children to want to do these things based on their motivations, instead of pushing them to do something because parents or teachers want them to. If a child wants to do something with inner motivation, they can cultivate the habit more effectively and it will last for a longer time.

As independent individuals, children need to be able to accept consequences. For example, if children do not tidy up their toys, they may bear the consequences of not being able to find them later. If they linger in the morning, they may be late to school and miss the time to explore with their friends. Many parents do not want to let their children take the consequences of their actions, so they try to solve the problem for them, such as tidying up toys on their behalf. It is better to let the child bear the consequences of this bad habit. Once they are aware of the negative effect of their behaviour, they will be motivated to change, and finally, cultivate a good habit.
