Each of us wants to, for his house is cozy, comfortable, unique, always, everywhere, which was not far away from the house of the members of the family, he knew that waiting on him at home, always listen and understand, help in difficult times. Just for this, in the households must be of a tradition that children must learn and transfer to their future families. The tradition of frugality, to the emergence of skills energy savings in children, we will discuss in this article.
Psychologists argue, like a child, then, will be attentive to yourself, others and life in general – it all depends on the parents. Life can be presented to him of infinite, a holiday or a fascinating journey, and may see it as boring, thankless and hard work, during the tour of the school. The child perceives the world through the eyes of the adults – the parents.
There are external factors that influence the family tradition. The current level of life and progress dictate his rules, and already is not nothing special, that three-years – four-year old son that will easily reconcile well with the complexity of the computer, with the switching on and off of the lighting in the rooms. With to turn the television on and watch the programs for children. He also opens and closes the taps with the water, knows where hot water, where the cold is. Attention it's up to the radiators, and know that the heating is working, when it's cold outside, and it doesn't work, when it is hot.
After 5 – 7 years old, already interested in the questions: where does the gas and as you enter the apartment?; why is it necessary to fill up the auto fuel and where is it from?; because the electricity is turned off (at a time to view the children's programs) and the water (when the child to clean the bathroom) and those who depend on?; because they need to travel to the city and breathe clean air, and not to play in the backyard with your friends?
All of these problems, in one way or another, are linked to energy saving, ecology, relevant in our time and is of interest to adults. If it can affect energy savings, children 5 – 10 years of age? If you can consciously make your contribution to its solution?
We will answer immediately – you can, if you are interested in this the adult members of the family. There is a children's series of training programs in the field of energy saving and ecology in Belarus, Russia, Ukraine for preschool and school educational institutions. It is true, we must say that these programs are not binding for the learning and practice takes place on a voluntary basis. But the day that will be adopted in the rules of the relevant state documents and the issues of energy saving, energy saving for children are as clear as the rules of behavior, the history of its land, geography, etc.
The child quickly mastered these concepts in the kindergarten, in the lower classes of the school, she needed help to get in the family. After 5 years, the child begins to know the world in the form of a game. He loves the games and especially if it is with him playing his favorites: dad, mom, brother, sister, grandmother, and grandfather.
I was the same witness of a good pedagogical approach to economical water consumption in a young family. The mom has taught the 4 years of my son from just brushing your teeth in the morning and in the evening. When the matter in a family council has become the savings of water, with the aim of reducing the payment for its consumption, the mom, has organized the game with the child, who the more you will save water during the cleaning of the teeth. Showed the son of the water meter, and made sure that the drum counter turns, when you open the faucet. Has explained how to save water during the cleaning of the teeth (I hope you know how), and proposed a prize for the one that will save you.
The game son liked it so much that upon his arrival to 3 years old cousin (accidentally we heard their conversation), while, when they were together in the bath tub and not yet fully fledged, alternatively, the teeth, the elder said to the young man to open the tap only for washing of the toothbrush and of the composition of water for rinsing the mouth in a cup. After the conversation of the children to the phrase, tomorrow with mom to see the water meter and received a prize!
Another example of this. Dad your five year old son has proposed to the game – good works. In the list of good works, that he could make a son, he was much: help mom, remove toys for himself and his younger sister, carry, and present to the pope the tool when you run the last of any repair, etc at The end of each day, the family council, have been registered all the good deeds performed son and stamped points. The pope has proposed son in a list of good works to enable the saving of electrical energy, showed a framework of evaluation of the electric meter with the numbers and explained that it is necessary to do, for the value was less.
At this age the children know the numbers and can distinguish a greater number by the smaller. To run this type of business has been offered a special prize. After a week of 5 years it is learned, if no one is in the children's room, the light should be disabled if you exit the bathroom, the light need to detach, if no one is watching tv, his need off. It is made of or reminded of the adults. It was the fact that sometimes the parents, to the detriment of themselves refusing to look at the tv, understanding the importance of skills, bought their child.
These examples show that family problems to reduce the payment of bills for energy consumption it is possible to solve with the help of children, in this case, the child produces the skills correctly, compared to energy resources, for which the family pays the money. This is the energy saving in the pediatric age group. And yet, it is very important, these concepts and skills are transformed into rules of behavior for the saving of electrical energy in daily life, their children get to know the people closest to us, after and communicate with them more time.
In conclusion, take a couple of tips that you can use for saving energy together with the children.
Simple rules of good guest (good deeds):
- Close the faucet while you brush your teeth or use a glass for rinsing the mouth.
- Washing dishes is not under the jet stream of water, and in the sink, closing the hole with a plug.
- The main thing — do not forget to turn off the water!
The execution of these simple rules will save money for the whole year round lake with a diameter of 200 meters and a depth of 2 metres. In addition, you save the chemicals used for the treatment of water and energy, which is used for its heat and pumping.
What you can do for the lamp for anything no lights?
The average consumption of electricity for the lighting of the apartment is about 1 kw. h per day(during the use of incandescent lamps). But this consumption can be reduced if you replace incandescent bulbs, fluorescent. 60 W incandescent lamp corresponds to 18 W fluorescent lamp with the same level of lighting. The length of the fluorescent lamps 6 – 8 more than that of incandescent lamps.
Periodically clean the bulb: good mashed bulb shines for 10 — 15% brighter dirty, dusty.
How to help the fridge?
The best place for the fridge in the kitchen is the most cool. With an outside temperature of 20 degrees, the refrigerator consumes 6% less energy. Do not place the refrigerator in the vicinity of the battery or other heating devices. Very negatively on the functioning of the refrigerator the impact is large, “the coat” in the freezer. So, don't be lazy, once again thawed. This will be more profitable.
As with thrift and an electric hob?
On one of the kitchen utensils, you can save hundreds of kilowatt hours of energy. It is only enough for a pot a bit by closing the burner electric stoves and closely to her. Cookware with a convex or concave bottom, and also pots with the dirt at the bottom and a layer of limestone ooze 50% of electricity, and at the same time about the same time.
Count how many times a day to boil water electric kettle? How much hot water you using?
Of course, the cup 2 – 3, and the rest water cools themselves in a teapot. And if this take the water and pour it in a thermos? Then do not waste time to boil each time you want to drink a cup of tea, and save energy.
As pet bedding?
To save energy you can, even if Ironing. To do this, we must remember that it is too dry and too wet linen for the house should stretch longer, and therefore more energy consumption. And another “detail”: the iron turns off for a few minutes until the end of the work; in this moment is more than enough residual heat.
Now the cold season. We are going into a warm apartment. But sometimes, in the winter we complain of cold in our apartments and it is the fault of the organization, providing us heat-energy. If all of us, to keep our homes precious heat?
How can we keep heat in our homes?
- In the autumn it is necessary to heat up in the house all the windows, balconies and doors.
- Don't forget to close the doors in the entrance.
- Do not keep the vents always open.
- During the night, close the curtains, that we would like to retain you further heat.
- The apartment properly arrange the furniture: put aside from the battery, a sofa and a table for the heat have took place in your apartment.
Because of these simple tasks you can reduce the cost of heating an apartment of about 5-10%.
You can be sure that the energy saving for children is an investment in the parents in the future of his generation.
