Recently, the issue of tolerance for creating a world without evil and cruelty became topical, where human life and the principles of humanism are the highest values. Without tolerance and patience, it is impossible to build effective interaction at both interpersonal and global levels-social and international. Education of tolerance in children is a necessary condition for the formation of a full-fledged personality.
Attitude to others begins to form with about 4 years. It is based on feelings that children have had time to comprehend and master, on their own unclouded notions of others. But it already becomes possible the emergence of fear, mockery, derision, which are based on the limited life experience, childish immediacy and some tactlessness that are characteristic of all children in the early stages of development. Thus, tolerance - the problem of pedagogic and the education of tolerance should be started in preschool children, so as not to miss the moment of the formation of a world outlook, principles, values and attitudes.
How is tolerance formed?
The formation of tolerance in children is necessary in order that they learn to build adequate relationships with others, regardless of nationality, religion, political beliefs, views on life. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to consistently adhere to the principles of tolerance formation in preschool children, which should be followed in the family of the baby, his immediate surroundings, and also in the pre-school educational institution.
- Purposefulness . To develop tolerance, it is necessary to clearly understand the goal of the teacher, as well as the coincidence of his motivation with the motivation of the child. Explain to the kid why he needs to form a tolerant attitude to others and what it will give him now and in the future.
- Accounting for individual characteristics . Tolerance of preschoolers, like any other moral principles, should be formed taking into account individual characteristics, for example, already existing moral principles and attitudes. It is important to take into account the conditions under which a baby grows and develops, and, based on this, to emphasize certain nuances. Gender differences are also important, for example, boys are more likely to manifest physical aggression than girls, who in turn are more sensitive and are influenced from outside.
- Culturality . It is important to bring up the quality of a full-fledged personality in the child, taking into account the national characteristics of the culture, in order to avoid the emergence of contradictions with generally accepted rules and norms. But at the same time it is necessary to observe a fine line between conformism and the preservation of individuality.
- Relation of tolerance to life . The development of tolerance in children should always be accompanied by examples from life, these can be universal examples of the manifestation of tolerance and intolerance, and examples from the life of the child itself - like this
quality can be manifested in relationships with loved ones, friends, teachers. Also, make sure that words are not at variance with life and demonstrate the need for this quality on a personal example. - Respectful attitude to the person . Regardless of the conditions and goals of education, it should be based on respect for the child, his personality, opinion, life position.
- Reliance on the positive . Raising tolerance in a child, one should rely on the already existing positive experience of social interaction, albeit small, and also actively support and develop those qualities that contribute to this.
