Moral education of preschool children

A child comes into this world as a pure and innocent creature. His mind is like a foam sponge, greedily absorbing all the information around it. But we know very well that not everything that he sees is good, useful and correct. We know he doesn't. For him, the world is a priori beautiful and interesting. This is where the task arises - to teach the little open-minded creature to separate good from bad, right from wrong. Teach your child to respect each person and the whole world as a whole.

The moral education of preschool children begins at birth and continues throughout life . This concept includes basic knowledge about good and evil, rules of behavior in society, stimulating empathy and respect for others. Moral education is more a natural process than a scientific one. It is impossible to deliberately teach a child morality. You can only correct his independent path of learning the entire harmony of the world around him.

The first steps of education

Little children have no idea about morality until we give it to them. And moral education (so to speak) begins from the cradle itself. The mother gently hugs her baby and smiles, he is pleased. He understands that a smile is good, and begins to smile back at her. She gently strokes the child, kisses him - he understands that gentle touches are pleasant, and touches her in return. These are the first lessons of love and tenderness. The baby learns about what “not good” is later, when he violates the first parental prohibitions. Parents are angry - he understands that he is doing wrong. These moments only seem simple and unimportant ; in fact, this is how the formation of moral qualities begins.

As the child grows up, the child is not just told “no”, but also explained why. The word “impossible” without a logical explanation is perceived by the baby as “possible only when mother is not looking.” Parents explain why you can’t hit, why you can’t scream or offend the kitten, why you need to help the mother. Morality for a child is the difference between good and bad.

Personal example - its role in moral education

As we wrote above, children cannot be taught morality; they can only learn it from adults. Adults are an example for preschool age. Especially the example of parents. Parents are ideal for the baby . Everything they do is right and good for him by default. If a mother raises her hand to a child, and a father resolves conflicts with his fists (or worse, hits the mother), then they can tell him as much as they want that fighting is not good, but he has already taken the model of behavior from his parents, and for him it is the only correct one .

Breathing exercises for children in preschool educational institutions

For children, sources of moral education are:

  1. Parents;
  2. The adults around him (caregivers, teachers, relatives, older brothers and sisters);
  3. Fairy tales (especially folk tales, and not only Russian ones);
  4. TV and Internet;
  5. Environment.

Attention

Recognizing someone as an authority, the child consciously (and more often subconsciously) copies his behavior, and this, for a second, forms the foundation of his moral image. Therefore, dear parents, educators, and simply elders, be careful about your behavior if you want our future generation to be morally and spiritually educated.

Problem

The rejection of the younger generation from national culture, from the socio-historical experience of generations is one of the serious problems of our time. It is necessary to develop children's understanding of cultural heritage and cultivate a caring attitude towards it from preschool age.

“No one can become the son of his people if he is not imbued with those basic feelings with which the people’s soul lives. No matter how complex or dark the psychology of the national bond may be, we can, however, assert that we cannot mature outside of the national culture, which we must imbue so that the powers inherent in the soul of our soul can be developed.”

, —
wrote the famous Russian religious philosopher
.

The system of spiritual and moral education of a child is built “on” and “through” introducing him to the cultural heritage of his people. An important means of spiritual and moral education of preschool children is to introduce them to the traditions of the people.

Relevance

The topic is determined by the need of our society for the spiritual and moral education of children based on the traditions and culture of the Russian people and the peoples inhabiting Russia.

In the Education Law, spiritual and moral education is designated as one of the priority areas for the overall development of the child.

Childhood is the time when a person acquires knowledge about the world around him, the time of formation of moral skills and habits. In preschool age, there is an active accumulation of moral experience, and turning to spiritual life also begins in preschool age with moral self-determination and the formation of self-awareness. Systematic spiritual and moral education of a child from the first years of life ensures his adequate social development and harmonious personality formation.

“Education, if it does not want to be powerless, must be popular!” said K.D. Ushinsky. He introduced the term “folk pedagogy” into Russian pedagogical culture, seeing in folklore works the national identity of the people, rich material for instilling love for the Motherland.

It is probably best to introduce preschool children to folk culture through folk holidays and song and play traditions. Holidays are a special, bright, living side of folk culture, reflecting ancient traditions, rituals, and the historical experience of the people. National holidays fill a child’s life with the light of kindness and affection, enrich him spiritually, and lay the foundations of high human values. Revealing a child's personality is entirely possible through his inclusion in the culture of his own people. And this is not just knowledge about culture, but living in culture, living in tradition, through entering the annual holiday circle. Children get acquainted with folk traditions, and then bring the acquired knowledge and experience into their daily activities. The wisdom of folk culture makes them more knowledgeable in everyday situations, educates them emotionally and morally, and prepares them for the future life.

Filtering information, or the important role of television

We will not talk now about the dangers of the TV itself (computer, tablet). Doctors talk a lot about this, but we will remind you of the colossal influence that what a small viewer watches has on moral education. Any seemingly most harmless cartoon carries a semantic load . The beloved hero becomes a role model; his behavior makes adjustments to the upbringing of the preschooler. Therefore, pay attention to what your baby is watching?

In the last century, during that same Soviet era, the state solved this problem for parents with the help of Soyuzmultfilm. Everything that appeared on the screens had an educational purpose. Cartoons taught people to be kind, well-mannered, educated, and hardworking. They taught to love their homeland, love their parents, make friends and respect their elders. And even the “evil” in Soviet cartoons, for the most part, was kindly charming and funny. Do we need to remind you what the level of morality was in the country?

Today the filter and censorship were completely turned off . All kinds of monsters, ugly characters, constantly swearing, shoving, rude, ill-mannered and unkempt, look at the baby from the TV screen.

Important

Notice what information is conveyed by low-quality cartoons from cheap commercial channels?

What children see and what they take in:

  • Aggression. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, and that's putting it mildly. Hit, push, throw something at someone who annoys you;
  • Selfishness. Every man for himself in this world;
  • Lack of compassion. Laugh if someone is hurt, pass by if someone needs help. Plus the endless pain that the heroes experience. They are beaten, a weight falls on them, they fall from a height, and there are no feelings of regret - children are asked to laugh at an animal that has fallen from a height (example);
  • Cunning. To deceive, to deceive in order to achieve a goal;
  • Bad manners (how I want to talk about Peppa Pig). Cartoon characters are not shy about the sounds of their bodies (and laugh fervently at this), they climb into the mud and enter without knocking.

Information and communication technologies in the educational process

And these characters can become examples of moral culture, just think about it. Cheap videos filled the Internet. Children independently click cartoons on their tablets and computers, while their mothers rush to do household chores. This “information dump” poses a serious danger and damages not only the morality of children, but also their fragile psyche as a whole. Choose only those cartoons that teach goodness and justice - the basis of moral education.



Moral education of preschool children in kindergarten

Moral education in kindergarten is not a separate block, such as physical, musical or patriotic. It is organically woven into the activities and routine moments of the preschool institution.

The main task for the teaching staff is to strengthen the connection between the preschool educational institution and the families of the pupils. Family and kindergarten are the two main educational institutions. Their functions are different, but the goal is the same - the education of a harmonious moral personality, so interaction is necessary.

In the pedagogical activities of a kindergarten, moral education is carried out mainly systematically, during educational activities (classes). Moral education is carried out with the help of fairy tales, stories and poems for children, recommended for reading in kindergarten. After reading, the teacher conducts a conversation with the children, during which the children learn to empathize with the characters, analyze their actions, drawing conclusions for themselves about how they can and cannot act.

But not only in the classroom, but also in all regime moments, teachers continue their educational activities. On a walk, children learn friendly, organized play, get to know the world around them, and learn to be in harmony with it. Children learn food culture and table manners while eating. Saying “thank you” to the cooks for a delicious lunch, changing their shoes so as not to stain the floor, which the nanny washes every day, children learn to appreciate the work of others and be grateful.

Kindergarten solves those tasks of moral education that the family is not able to fully implement - here children learn to live in society . This is a very important point. The child learns to be in a team, treat his friends and elders with respect, share toys, organize joint activities - all this becomes a strong help for a solid foundation of morality for the still small individual.
