It s almost the Chinese New Year, what table manners can I teach my children?

It's almost the Chinese New Year, and there are a lot of table manners, such as pre-meal preparation.

Before eating, ask your child to help set the dishes, chopsticks, serve food, etc., and when it is ready, ask your child to invite the elders to eat and remember to wash their hands before eating.

2. Ask the elders to sit down first and let the elders eat first.

Respect for the elderly is a virtue, and parents should usually do a good job of demonstration, invite the elders in the family to sit down when eating, and serve meals to the elders first.

3. Encourage children to help their family members and elders pick up vegetables (use public chopsticks) and serve meals.

Parents can praise their children after they have finished their children, "Mommy has found that you are very good at taking care of others", etc.

4. Hold chopsticks correctly.

It is best to talk to your child about the origin of chopsticks and teach them how to use them correctly. Chopsticks alone can make a person appear very educated, and the chopsticks we invented, a prop that can be used for all kinds of food, contain a profound cultural truth that should not change and respond to complexity with simplicity, which is also what we must inherit.

5. Don't evaluate food negatively.

Don't complain that someone else has worked so hard to prepare a meal for you that isn't up to taste, and don't make any rude comments. Enjoy every meal we eat with a grateful heart. This gratitude includes the seasons of nature that bring us all kinds of seasonal delicacies, both to those who nurture these foods, and to the foods that give us nutrients and energy.

6. Standardize the sitting posture.

At the table, ask your child to sit upright and in an upright position. This is not only good looking, but also good for children's digestion.

When eating, the Chinese rice bowl should be held up, holding the bowl in one hand and the tableware in the other, not bowing the head to pick up the rice, not putting the elbows on the table, putting the legs under the table, the feet as close as possible, not stilted, and the distance from the table to facilitate the use of tableware is better.

The western food fork is sent to the mouth, and the waist is not bent for the food. Keep your feet flat, and it's rude to take off your shoes or spread your legs apart. Don't bend your legs, don't shake your feet.

Preparation Before eating, ask your child to help set the dishes, chopsticks, serve food, etc., and when ready, ask your child to invite the elders to eat and remember to wash their hands before eating.

Please sit down first and let the elders eat first Respect for the elderly is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation.

The traditional New Year's greeting gesture has been different between men and women since ancient times, and the standard male posture is to form a fist with the right hand, wrap the left hand, and shake the wrist tightly and back and forth. Because the right hand is an attacking hand, it should be wrapped as a sign of kindness. Women are the opposite, but women do not hold their fists, but only press their hands, do not touch their wrists, and shake them back and forth.

New. Year. Fast. Happy.

In terms of blessings, parents can teach their children to say auspicious words and greetings such as "Wishing you prosperity", "Happy New Year", good health, and good luck.

Receiving red envelopes ceremony.

When the elders give the red envelopes, the children should take them with both hands and say thank you to the elders. If the child is too young to do it, parents can hold the child's hand, take the red envelope with both hands, and then take the child together to say "thank you".

Parents should tell their children in advance that they should accept the red envelope and never open it in front of the guests, which is rude. The best thing to do is to put the red envelope in Mom and Dad's bag or your own bag right away.

Please sit down first and let the elders eat first Respect for the elderly is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation.

Don't rummage around at the table, and don't move around while eating.

After the elders take the chopsticks, they move the chopsticks first before the child can pick up the vegetables.

Adults don't use chopsticks, and children can't eat first.

Drinking ceremony, the younger generation should lower the cup.

For example, don't sit first, don't knock on the bowl, don't 、、、be too picky

Not necessarily. It's all the New Year.

Children's instincts should be allowed to express themselves freely.

Too rigid like you.

Pay attention when picking up food:

1. Try to take what is in front of you, don't "fly elephants across the river";

2. Don't pick what you like to eat, remember to demolish the rent and leave some for others to eat;

3. Clamp which piece you can see, don't pick and choose over and over again.

Take the dish with the soup:

Be careful, at this time parents can take the bowl to help catch it, so as not to splash their own or other people's clothes with the dripping soup, and people will say that you are a child who is not hygienic.

For babies, try to use a small spoon, or use chopsticks and a small spoon together to reduce food dripping everywhere.

Say hello when you leave the table:

1. Gently put down the utensils;

3. Don't run around and shout loudly after eating.
