古語有云:「三歲定八十。」幼兒階段是培養品德及正確價值觀的黃金期,孩子雖小,能夠吸收及實踐的卻不容小覷。品德教育專家、JEMS Learning House創辦人及校長馬露明為家長呈獻因應幼兒的智力、理解能力、自制能力及表達能力而設計的「幼兒品德教育十式」,建議父母掌握品德培育的黃金階段,早於幼兒三歲開始就為之灌溉正確價值觀念,培養良好品德及習慣:

  1. 打招呼
    要養成孩子和人打招呼的良好習慣,家長可以親身示範,再給予孩子機會嘗試,鼓勵孩子看着對方的眼睛,並開口叫人。
  2. 以禮待人
    孩子有求於人,或是得到他人幫助時都應學會有禮貌地道謝。要培養孩子以禮待人的習慣,家長可在孩子道謝後才給予他們想要的東西。
  3. 收拾
    三歲幼童也能處理簡單的收拾程序。要令孩子學懂「自己的事自己做」的道理,從教導他們收拾自己玩完的玩具開始,收拾時亦不應尋求幫助。若孩子不願意自己收拾,家長可減少孩子玩耍的時間以作懲戒。
  4. 負責任
    同樣,孩子應自己拿書包、執拾需要帶的課本,以及穿著鞋子。家長應放心讓孩子嘗試,即使未能在短時間內學會也不需立即協助他們,這樣孩子才能從失敗中汲取教訓,並得以成長。
  5. 堅忍不怕難
    孩子遇上挫折時家長應給予時間,並鼓勵他們不要輕易放棄,再接再厲。家長可多讚賞孩子勇於嘗試的努力,增強他們的自信心。
  6. 關愛他人
    為家人、朋友和老師搬一張椅子、送上一張紙巾,在日常小事情中培養孩子多留意他人的需要,並關心他們。
  7. 有耐性
    等待磨人,但孩子需學會耐心等待。家長可從家庭教育開始,令孩子明白不是所有東西都能即要即有。
  8. 遵守規則
    家長若希望孩子能遵守規則,應事先向他們解釋規則詳情,定下的規則亦宜清晰直接。
  9. 獨立自主
    家長要訓練孩子獨立,可從教導他們獨自如廁及洗手等事情開始,給予空間和機會孩子嘗試。
  10. 分享
    品德教育中最重要之一的是教導孩子學會與他人分享,讓他們明白分享自己擁有的東西和想法,得到的快樂會更多。



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

JEMS Learning House的創辦人及校長馬露明表示:「增強孩子的自信心,培養責任感、禮貌及堅毅不屈的精神,令孩子明白助人為快樂之本的道理,以上種種品德教育都能令孩子擁抱正確的價值觀。品德教育應該從小開始,而最有效的方法就是父母以身作則,為孩子樹立好榜樣。」

It is never too early to teach your child proper values and help them build character. While some parents may question about whether their children are able to understand, memorize and perform what they are taught to do, Christine Ma, Founder and Principal of JEMS Learning House, points out that the ability of young children should never be underestimated and lists out Ten Tips of character education suitable for children as young as three years old.

1. To greet people
Parents can demonstrate how to greet people properly by looking them in the eye and address them politely, and encourage the children to do so.

2. To have manners
Children should learn to say “please” and “thank” you when they ask for something or receive help from others. To help them build the habit, parents should require their children to say “please” and “thank you” before giving the things they want.

3. To tidy up
Even three-year-olds can manage to complete simple tasks such as tidying up. Parents can start by asking their children to clean up after playing and using things without asking for help. If the children refuse to do so, parents may reduce their play time unless they are willing to tidy up.

4. To be responsible
Let the child understand that it is his/her responsibility to pack and carry his/her school bags and to put on his/her own shoes. Parents should give them opportunities to experience. Even if they fail to do it properly, they can learn from trial and error.

5. To have perseverance
To enhance the Adversity Quotient (AQ) of their children, parents are asked to stop solving problems for their kids right away but encourage their children to keep trying even though they think it is difficult. Praise the children for their effort – it will motivate them to try even harder.

6. To help and care for others
Compassion for others is one very important element that will contribute not only to oneself and others, but the whole society. Teach children from a young age to observe other people’s needs and offer help whenever possible. The children will soon understand the happiness of helping others, even by just moving a chair or passing a piece of tissue paper.

7. To be patient
Waiting is difficult, but children have to learn to be patient. Parents can start from home education, for example, by teaching their children that they have to wait for their turn when they want to play toys.

8. To listen and to follow
Children should learn to listen and follow rules. The rules should be simple yet straightforward and parents should explain them to their children clearly.

9. To be independent
Offer your children opportunities and sufficient time to do things by themselves. They have the ability to be independent, such as going to the toilet and washing their hands.

10. To share with others
Sharing is one of the most important elements in character education. A shared happiness, no matter feelings or things, is a double happiness.

Christine Ma, Founder and Principal of JEMS Learning House, says, “To instill confidence, to give responsibility, to encourage perseverance, to teach manners and to develop compassion equip children with values and character education should be started at a young age. Do not underestimate your child. There is a lot he/she can do, even before going to kindergarten. The most effective way to train a child is to be your child’s role model.”
