Moral issues concern many people, especially since cruelty and violence are increasingly becoming commonplace. The basis of moral education is the formation of the principles of ethics and morality in a child who will be guided by them and become an adult. To educate a moral person, it is necessary to help transform the social requirements of society into internal incentives of the individual, such as honor, duty, dignity and conscience.
Instructions
Step 1
Lead by example. Very often, parents forget that children absorb and remember behavior rather than words much better. You cannot teach a child to respect elders if you yourself do not show him, you cannot force him to tell the truth if you yourself are lying. The best personal example for moral education is the words brought to life.
Step 2
Teach your child to share. The ability to give and give is a very valuable quality that positively characterizes a person. Show your little one that gifts are pleasant not only to receive, but also to present. Together with him, choose gifts for relatives and talk about the joy that you experience.
Step 3
Demonstrate caring for people and younger brothers. Cultivate the love and kindness in your child that is indicative of normal mental development. A child should be able to distinguish between good and bad, to understand what is the difference between them.
Step 4
Buy only kind toys. Fictional characters very often become examples of behavior for a toddler, and he may begin to imitate a not-too-kind character.
Step 5
Talk about freedom of choice. Any deed - good or bad - leads to certain results. The child should know that the choice of the decision depends only on him, and only he will be responsible for it. At the same time, you should not frighten the baby with "God's punishment" or other punishment. The essence of moral education is that a little man should strive for a positive result - gratitude or praise.
Step 6
Find a balance between discipline and complete freedom. Moral education provides for the accustoming to self-control and order, rigor is necessary only in extreme cases.
Step 7
Do not impose your principles on the child - your task is to guide and help him. Remember that your baby is a person who should be respected and accepted with all its advantages and disadvantages.
