What are the basic methods of moral education for children?

The power of example is infinite, especially when infants have poor self-awareness, imitation is the main learning method. For children in the imitation stage, adults can tell some heroic stories according to their reality, and take the image and good behavior of heroic models as examples for children to learn. At the same time, adults should be cautious in their behavior and set an example for children everywhere. In the eyes of children, adults should have an optimistic, cheerful and lively personality, work actively, seriously, be enthusiastic about others, and be good at caring for and helping others. No matter what children are asked to do, they should do it first and set an example for their behavior. We should edify and influence children with good ideas, good quality and good style, so that children can develop in a healthy, positive and upward direction.

Explanatory reasoning

Instilling moral consciousness in children, avoiding compulsory obedience and violent intervention, combining with reality and explaining the truth are the most effective ways to improve moral consciousness. Explain every code of conduct to your child, not only let him know how to do it, but also let him understand the truth. But to be reasonable to children, we should combine the children's understanding level and say "things" on "things" so that children can understand. At the same time, adults should be patient. Children often don't listen to the truth when they are too excited. Parents should wait for him to calm down, then explain the truth to him in a friendly tone, guide the situation, and gradually help build moral awareness.

Practice method

Children understand that truth is abstract and will soon forget it. It needs to be strengthened through repeated practice and practice. Therefore, when adults ask their children to achieve a certain code of conduct, they must persistently let him practice and consolidate it repeatedly, and often take criticism, praise and other methods to promote children's conscious consolidation and constantly form a self-disciplined moral norm mechanism.

Praise and criticism

Children need praise and encouragement, which is a way to strengthen good behavior. It is best to put forward some further requirements when encouraging and praising, so that children are not satisfied with their existing achievements. After children are praised and encouraged, their enthusiasm will be high and they will continue to work hard; Criticism is a negative "reinforcement". Adults can express their opposition to children's behavior by shaking their heads, unhappy attitudes, negative tone and reprimanding eyes, so that children can know that they are wrong and correct them quickly. Be serious when criticizing. The serious purpose is to let the child know that he is wrong, make him feel ashamed and uneasy because of his parents' displeasure, constantly correct his mistakes and reach the moral standards required by his parents.
