The game is important in the life of a child, it has the same meaning as an adult has an activity, work, service. What a child is in play, such is in many respects he will be in work when he grows up. Therefore, the upbringing of the future figure takes place primarily in the game.

Advice for parents

The centuries-old practice of raising children in a family leads to the conclusion that reasonable upbringing is one of the non-imminent values: “A person without upbringing is a body without a soul”, “The best inheritance is good breeding”, “A child is a dough: like kneading, so and grew up." Care for the upbringing of children, the nature of relationships, the ability to educate, the people consider as an indicator of the moral beauty of a person, his spiritual generosity. “Not the father - the mother who gave birth, but the one who drank, fed, and taught good”, “Do not brag about the father - boast about the son of a good fellow.”

Oral folk art... This is the history of the people, their spiritual wealth.

Already a thousand years ago, no one in Rus' could testify since when it was customary to sing epics and tell fairy tales. They passed from generation to generation along with customs and rituals, with those skills, without which you can’t cut down a hut, you can’t get honey, you can’t cut spoons. These were a kind of spiritual commandments, covenants that the people honored.

Singing epics, telling fairy tales, proverbs, sayings were understood by the people as a force acting for the purpose of creation. One of the layers of this creation is the wisdom of education. No wonder K. D. Ushinsky wrote: “Education has existed in the Russian people for as many centuries as the people themselves exist - it was born with it, grew up with it, reflected in it its entire history ...”. Ushinsky belongs to another statement. “In content,” he wrote, “our proverbs are important for initial learning in that they, like in a mirror, reflect Russian folk life with all its picturesque features. Perhaps nothing can be so introduced into the understanding of folk life as explaining to him the meaning of folk proverbs. They reflected all aspects of the life of the people: home, family, field, forest, public; his needs, habits, his view of nature, of people, of the significance of all the phenomena of life.

So, what philosophical and pedagogical thoughts have worried the Russian people for centuries? First of all, let's pay attention to statements about the essence of happiness.

Happiness and joy, according to the views of the Russian people, not only in the fact that there is a child in the family, but in the fact that the upper room is full of children. What is the meaning of the word "full"? the answer can obviously be found in the proverb "One son is not a son, two sons is half a son, three sons is a whole son." The happiness of parents and the happiness of children are indissoluble destinies. People note this relationship as follows: “Kind children are the crown of business, and bad children are the end of the house.” You can't say it more precisely and figuratively. But is it only this that folk wisdom about children is limited to? Dozens, hundreds of proverbs and sayings testify: “Little children are heavy on stones, and big ones on their hearts”, “Small children do not let them sleep, but when they grow up, you won’t fall asleep yourself.”

The centuries-old practice of raising children in a family leads to the conclusion that reasonable upbringing is one of the enduring values: “A person without upbringing is a body without a soul”, “The best inheritance is good breeding”, “A child is a dough: how he kneaded, so has grown."

The Russian people reflected the complexity and difficulty of education in numerous proverbs, sayings, songs. Instructions sound like a kind of warning: “He knew how to give birth to a child, know how to teach”, “Whoever gives birth to children, to feed them”, “Whoever is without a guard from the cradle, that is not in business all his life”.

The people noticed an important thing of the hereditary factor and recorded their observations in the form of the following judgments: “Do not expect a good tribe from a bad seed”, “What kind of roots, such and tops, what parents, such and children”, “Beavers will not be born from a pig, but such or pigs."

What qualities do people value most in a person? Health is put in the first place: “Health is the head of everything”, “If there was health, the rest will be”, “You take a dress again, but health from a young age”, “You will ruin your health - you won’t buy a new one”.

And here are the proverbs that honor the mind, knowledge, science: "The world is illuminated by the sun, and man by knowledge", "The bird is red with feathers, and man with knowledge."

Folk wisdom calls childhood the best time of learning: "Learning in childhood is like carving on a stone", "What Vanya did not learn, Ivan will not learn."

Russian folk wisdom proclaims truthfulness to the best human qualities: “The truth is brighter than the sun”, “Where, the truth is, there is happiness”, “Truth is more precious than gold”.

From time immemorial, folk pedagogy considers parents to be the first educators in the family. In proverbs and sayings, fairy tales and epics, it is noted that only those parents are worthy of the high name of the educator who reward the mind - the mind and "reward with the heart": "Not the father who gave birth, but the one who taught the mind - the mind."

The example of parents is the best school for children. “Children study near the mother-womb”, “Parents are hardworking - and children are not lazy.” In the real process of family upbringing, it is difficult to isolate the main thing, because sometimes the “little thing” turns out to be decisive in the fate of the child. That is why they say that there are no trifles in education. And yet there are objective conditions that constantly influence the nature of education, giving it one direction or another: "Where there is harmony in the family, children are well raised there."

One of the beautiful traditions is the obligation of parents to educate their children. This, on the one hand, on the other hand, is a duty to parents: "Whoever honors his parents, that century does not perish."

"You will never be able to create wise men if you kill naughty children."

J.-J. Rousseau

An educator who does not fetter, but liberates, does not suppress, but exalts, does not crumple, but forms, does not dictate, but teaches, does not demand, but asks, experiences many inspired minutes with the child, more than once following the struggle of the angel with moist eyes with Satan, where the bright angel wins."

J. Korchak

"Education is, first of all, human science. Without knowledge of the child - his mental development, thinking, interests, hobbies, abilities, inclinations, inclinations - there is no education."

That is why, entrusting the education of the pure and impressionable souls of children, entrusting it to draw in them the first and therefore the deepest features, we have every right to ask the educator what goal he will pursue in his activity, and demand a clear answer to this question. and a categorical answer.

K.D. Ushinsky

"To give children the joy of work, the joy of success in learning, to awaken in their hearts a sense of pride, self-esteem - this is the first commandment of education."

V.A. Sukhomlinsky

"The result achieved in itself induces the child to continue work and to find a new, more difficult one; and there is no need to further strengthen these natural incentives with praise, distinction or any reward - this can only harm the child."

P.F. Lesgaft

"The true essence of educational work lies not at all in your conversations with the child, not in the direct impact on the child, but in the organization of your family, your personal and sociallife and in the organization of the child's life.

A.S. Makarenko

"Every person receives two upbringings: one is given to him by his parents, passing on his life experience, the other, more important, he receives himself."

K.D. Ushinsky

"The child is not stupid: there are no more fools among them than among adults. Dressed in a purple robe of years, how often we impose senseless, uncritical, impracticable prescriptions! Sometimes a reasonable child stops in amazement before the aggression of caustic gray-haired stupidity."

J. Korczak

"From a young age, before vice takes possession of the soul of a child, parents should teach the child to moderation, to cleanliness and neatness, to respect and obedience, to justice. The child should love his neighbors and help them, be industrious, patient, temperate, polite and modest."
