Child character education

Child character education


Professor Thomas Lickona of Cortland University says that there are ten signs that the nation will
be destroyed

1. Increased violence among adolescents.
2. The use of language and bad words.
3. The influence of group in violence.
4. Increased use of drugs, alcohol, free sex.
5. Lack of understanding of good and bad morals.
6. Decreased work ethic.
7. Disrespect the older person. 
8. Low sense of responsibility of individuals and citizens.
9. Dishonest culture flourishes.
10 The presence of mutual suspicion and hatred among others

Therefore in order not to happen then the character education must be done early, because at that age is the golden age of development that success determines the quality of children in adulthood.

Role in shaping the character of the child

The family is the main actor in the successful character formation of children, a child will grow character person if it can grow in a characteristic environment.The purpose of the environment Is not only the family, but school, campus and society , in other words character development is the responsibility of all parties.

Family where children’s character education

Family is the first and foremost place in the success of educating, nurturing, socializing and developing the potential of children to be useful in the society, if that role fails then it is difficult for the institutions outside the family to change it.

Patterns of care in the family environment

The success of the family in instilling character values toward the child is very dependent on the type of parenting on the parents apply to their children, such as the fulfillment of physical needs, psychological needs, and socialization of norms in society.
