Each of us wants his house was, comfortable, unique, forever, where that was not far from the house members of the family, he knew that he was waiting for her at home, always to listen and understand, help in difficult times. It is for this reason, families must be of the tradition that children should adopt and transfer into their future family. On the traditions of the savings, on the development of skills energy savings in children, we are going to talk about in this article.
Psychologists say that the baby afterwards, will take to himself, others, and life in general depends completely on their parents. Life can be the infinite vacation, or a trip that is fascinating, can be both tedious, thankless and hard work, during the tour of the school. The child perceives the world through the eyes of adults, such as parents.
There are external factors that impact on the family traditions. Modern, standard of living and progress dictates its rules, and there is nothing special, three years – four years child, deals with the wisdom of the computer, with the inclusion and shutdown of the lighting in the rooms. With the inclusion of a tv and watch programmes for children. It opens and closes the valves of the water, knows where the hot water where the cold. Attention key the heater core, and knows that the heating works when it is cold outside, and doesn't work when the heat of the street.
After 5 – 7 years of age, he is already interested in the questions: where does the gas and as it happens in the apartment?; why is it necessary to fill the car fuel and where it comes from?; why turns off the electricity (at the time of the display programs for children) and the water (when the child is washed in the bathroom) and that depends on it?; why you need to leave the city and breathe the clean air, and not to play in the yard with his friends?
All these problems, one way or another, related to food, environment, current events of our time, and excite the adults. Can it be of interest to the energy saving small children from 5 to 10 years? Can they able to contribute to its solution?
Respond immediately – can, if interested by the adult members of the family. There are a number of children of training programs in the field of energy and ecology of Belarus, Russia, Ukraine for preschool institutions and schools. The truth, it is necessary to say that these programs are not essential to learning, and the training is carried out on a voluntary basis. But the day is near when will be taken of the regulations and issues of energy saving, energy saving for children will also be clear that the rules of conduct, the history of his native province, geography and others
That the child is quickly mastered these concepts in the kindergarten, in the lower classes of the school, to help it to do so in the family. After 5 years, the child begins to explore the world in the form of the game. He was very eager to play and especially if with him to play of your favorite people: mom, dad, brother, sister, grand-mother and grand-father.
I have been witness to the good teaching of the economic approach to release of water from the family. Mother has taught her 4 year old son you-even brushing your teeth in the morning and in the evening. When the question by the family council became the water savings, in order to reduce the payment of its consumption, the mother organized a game with the son, who in addition to saving water when brushing your teeth. Showed the son of a water meter, and he saw that the drum counter is running, when opening the valve. She explained how to save water when brushing your teeth (I hope you know), and proposed a reward for that save.
The game son liked it so much, that at the arrival of her 3 year old, cousin brother (we have inadvertently heard their conversation), during the time when they were together in the bathroom and cleaned alternately by the teeth, the elder instructs the younger to open the tap only for washing the tooth brush and the composition of the water for the rinsing of the mouth in the cup. Ended the conversation children of the sentence – tomorrow with my mom, see a water meter and get a prize!
Another example. The father of his son of five years has offered a set of good works. In the list of good things that could make a kid, was a lot of things: help to my mother, putting toys away and for her little sister, to make and file the pope of the tool during the execution of the last of any repair, etc At the end of each day, the family council, were all good things, made sons and stamped points. The pope proposed son in the list of good business include energy savings, has shown the table display of the power meter with figures, and explained that it is necessary to make the value less.
At this age, children know numbers and can make the difference between a larger number of small. For the execution of this great deal offered a special price. A week later, 5 years, tot clearly learned, if there is person in the children's bedroom, the light must be turned off, if you step out of the bathroom, the light is necessary to cut off, if nobody is looking at the television, his need to extinguish. He himself did or looked like an adult. It came to the point that, sometimes, the parents, to the detriment of itself-even refused to watch television live, the understanding of the importance of the skills acquired with their child.
These examples show that family problems, to reduce the payment of utility bills for the energy consumption, you can resolve it with the help of the children, which, in the child develop good habits, respect for energy resources, of which the family pays money. It is energy within the child. And, very important, the concepts and skills are developed in the rules of conduct on energy saving in everyday life, children learn of the people, after having past and to communicate with them more time.
In conclusion, take a few tips that you can use to save energy with the children.

But this consumption can be reduced, if replace incandescent bulbs, fluorescent. 60 W incandescent lamp is 18 W fluorescent lamp for the same light level. Life of the fluorescent lamps 6 – 8 more than the incandescent lamps.

And even a “details”: iron, you can turn off a few minutes before the end of the work; at this time, just the residual heat.
