Everyone has the right to an education. It is through education that we develop skills which will later allow us to make a living as adults. Not only does education help us in the working world however, it also helps us learn how to cope in the demanding world we live in and how to lead paths that are honest and virtuous.
Education never ends really, even far into adulthood, there is always something new to learn, mostly because the world is constantly changing. We learn about languages, how to read and how to write. We learn about science and maths and the universe. The list of subjects goes on!
However, apart from all of these formal subjects, there is something just as important to be learnt – morals. Moral education is related to the politeness and behavior of a person, whether it is a word or a deed. Morals are first taught at home by a child’s parents, but as they start their schooling career, it is important that teachers also play a role in educating their students on how to socialise and treat others correctly.
Moral education can be taught to a child from when they first learn how to walk and talk, if not before! This way, good habits can be imprinted on a child from an early age. Teaching moral education in children requires patience and caution – to teach the right way, you need to know the right way!
Moral education for children is done in stages according to the ability and age of the child. When the child is good at talking and has begun to interact with the environment, then moral education needs to be advanced to a stage where the children are prepared for the school years to come.
Lessons of responsibility and mutual respect
Habits tend to set in from about 3 years of age.Children like to imitate the things they see and hear around them, so your first step is to ensure that they are placed in the correct environment and that good examples are set. Parents and teachers need to explain to their children that honest behaviour is very important and includes a commendable attitude, especially to be liked by their friends.
One of the first steps in teaching children to be responsible is to explain to them that they need to take ownership for their mistakes. They need to learn how to apologize, sincerely of course.
Lessons for humility
Teaching humbleness and modesty is an important part of moral education.It is important to not only explain the concept of being humble, but to also point out when someone is being humble, so that children can have a good understanding.
Moral lessons should always be included in lessons or school curriculums. In essence, moral lessons are more important than any other topic to be learnt, since without morals, we will have a very hard time putting our other knowledge into practice.
