Examples of teaching children honesty.
First, primary school principals crawl to work
1998165438+1October 9, Luke, a 42-year-old elementary school principal in Tal, Utah, USA, crawled in the snow 1.6 kilometers, working continuously for 3 hours, and was warmly welcomed by passers-by and teachers and students of the whole school.
It turns out that at the beginning of this semester, in order to stimulate the enthusiasm of all teachers and students, Luke publicly bet: If you finish reading L 50,000 pages before165438+1October 9, I will crawl to work on the 9th.
So the teachers and students of the whole school studied hard, and even the older children in the kindergarten run by the school took part in this activity, and finally finished reading 1 15000 pages before1October 9. A classmate called the headmaster: "Can you climb? Does it count? " Some people also advised him: "You have achieved the goal of encouraging students to study, so don't climb." But Luke said firmly, "As promised, I will crawl to work."
As usual, Luke went out at 7 o'clock in the morning, except that he didn't drive, but crawled to work on all fours. In order to be safe and not affect the traffic, he didn't climb on the highway, but on the grass beside the road. In the past, cars honked their horns to pay tribute to him. Some students simply climbed with the headmaster, and the news unit also came to interview him.
After three hours of crawling, Luke wore out five pairs of gloves and knee pads, but he finally got to school. All the teachers and students stood on both sides of the street to welcome his beloved headmaster. When Luke stood up from the ground, the children swarmed, hugged him and kissed him. ...
Hugging: If you dare to keep your promise, you will be respected. The headmaster's personality charm lies in "keeping a promise and keeping a thousand dollars"
2. A good thing is to keep your promise.
There is a Kate Pi company in the United States, which once publicly claimed in an advertisement that whoever buys our products, no matter where in the world, as long as you need to replace spare parts, we promise to deliver them within 48 hours. If not, our products will be given to you for free!
They not only said so, but also did it, never breaking their word.
One winter, the weather was extremely cold and the snowy road was impassable. Obviously, they can't drive cars to deliver parts to customers in mountainous areas in time. What shall we do? Reputation is above everything else. Since they promised to be responsible to the end, they decided to rent a helicopter at once for $4,000.
Sure enough, when the helicopter delivered the parts to the customer, he was greatly moved and told everyone about his "adventure" since then. So the news spread, the company really won praise, and business has been getting better and better since then.
It is good to dare to promise, but it is more important to keep your promise.
Hugging: It is not difficult to make a promise, but it is difficult to keep it.
3. Commitment is gold
The day before school started, fusco, who was studying in boarding school, saw his father Hart directing the construction worker Ham to dismantle the pavilion in the garden and said happily to his father, "Dad, can I go to school two days late?" I want to see how this pavilion is dismantled. ""no! "Father gave fusco a stern refusal." You should know which is more important, going to school or tearing down the pavilion. "fusco cried sadly. Hart thought for a moment and said, "well, don't open this pavilion for the time being, until you come back from your next holiday, okay?" Fox grams this just smiled with satisfaction. The next day, fusco went to school. But Hart ordered the workers to dismantle the pavilion. ,
The second holiday has arrived. As soon as Fosker got home, he ran towards the gazebo, but the gazebo had become a beautiful corridor. "Dad, why don't you keep your word? Didn't you agree to open the museum when I came back? " Hart's face turned red at once, and his son still remembered his promise. He summoned workers and asked him to build the pavilion last year and tear it down before fusco. The worker said, "Sir, this project will cost at least 500 pounds!" " "Hart said decisively," Even if it costs 5000 pounds, you have to do it. A person's promise should be more precious and valuable than gold! "
This incident left a deep impression on Fusco. Later, he became a famous politician. Whenever people talk about him, they praise him: "This is a man of his word!" "
Instructions: "Words must be done, and actions must be fruitful." You must keep your promise and do what you promised others. This is the most basic principle of being a man, and it is also the premise for a person to gain respect.
Matters needing attention in educating children's integrity
Don't cajole children at will
"The loach listens to it, and the doll listens to it." Many parents think that their children are too young to understand anything, and it is ok to coax them for a while. In fact, irresponsible coaxing may work at first, but over time, children will see through this trick. With the increase of deceived adults, the trust of parents is getting lower and lower. Parents' coaxing behavior not only makes children learn to lie to others, but more importantly, they will lose trust in their parents.
Lead by example.
Parents are children's first teachers, and their words and deeds have a subtle influence on children. In ancient times, there was a story about "Ceng Zi killed a pig to trust his children". Ceng Zi killed the pig because his wife made a promise to his children at will. He explained to his wife, "You should keep your word to your children, otherwise it is obvious that children should learn to lie.". Adults don't keep their words. What qualifications do they have to educate their children in the future? " Ceng Zi told everyone with his own words and deeds that even children should keep their word and be honest, and teaching by example is more important than teaching by example.
Don't make promises to children easily.
We have heard the word "a promise as good as a thousand dollars" since childhood, and we know that we should try our best to fulfill all our promises. Therefore, parents should not make promises to their children at will, but must think twice before speaking, and truly do what they say; If you can't perform for various reasons, you should also explain and apologize to your child in time, so that your child can understand and forgive his parents from the heart.
Timely praise and encouragement
When she was a child, Soong Ching Ling promised to teach her children to fold flower baskets, but she stayed at home alone and didn't go out as a guest with her parents. Father Song Yaoru not only failed to stop Xiao Qingling's behavior, but also affirmed and appreciated it. It is the praise and encouragement of parents that laid the foundation for Soong Ching Ling's good character of keeping promises as gold in the future. Parents should observe their children's behavior more often. Once the child is found to be honest and trustworthy, it is necessary to affirm and praise, so that this behavior of the child can gradually be transformed into a habit.
Seize the opportunity of education
When children lie, parents must deal with the problem according to the actual situation, so that children who tell the truth are encouraged, and children who tell lies are punished. If they persist, children will gradually develop good habits of honesty.
How to cultivate children's good habit of honesty
"The game of explaining concepts"
This game can help children understand the concept of honesty and the word.
Ask them, "Do you know the difference between truth and falsehood? See if you know. I say one thing, you say' yes' or' no'. " We should start with some simple facts, and then transition to things related to behavior, such as:
The sky is green. The child said "not true".
Point to your own feet. This is my foot. The child said "really".
Ants are bigger than elephants.
We see with our eyes.
We listen with our noses.
Milk is produced by hens.
Take out a biscuit from the jar and say, "I didn't eat the biscuit."
Throw the toy on the sofa and say, "I put the toy on the sofa."
Then he said, "You can tell the truth from the false! Do you know what it is when a person says something untrue? That's called a' lie'. "
Then he said, "I'll say something else. If what I say is true, you can tell the truth. If what I say is not true, you can lie. "
Picked up a dollar from the ground and said, "I didn't find a dollar."
Give someone some food and say, "I didn't eat all the food." I gave some. "
Use examples that are appropriate for your child's situation.
Then he asked, "Why is telling the truth better than lying?" So that everyone can know what happened; In this way, people who make mistakes will not be blamed; So that we can learn to do better and so on.
"Praise the children enthusiastically"
This can encourage children to be honest every day. Children will repeat the behavior of attracting attention. They prefer positive attention and praise to negative attention, condemnation or punishment, but they prefer negative attention and don't like anyone at all.
Therefore, when children lie, try not to pay attention. Just to calm them down, you know it's not true. Give them warm praise when they tell the truth. When they admit that they did something wrong, such as "Who scribbled on the wall?" When telling the truth, you should praise the child for telling the truth, not punish him. Preschool children can understand the difference between being unhappy because of doing something wrong and being happy because of honesty.
"Express your feelings honestly"
This helps children realize that feelings are caused by what happened-it is beneficial for us to feel things and tell others honestly how we feel.
Open a magazine, preferably one with many advertisements and colorful pictures, point to the face on it and say, "How do you think he feels?" Then he asked, "Why do you think he feels this way?" Then he asked, "Is that feeling ok?"
It is a good thing to help children identify various feelings and the reasons for these feelings, understand what they feel and tell others about their feelings.
Honest practice
In your family, it is agreed in advance that family members should be absolutely honest. At the end of "Honesty Month", the whole family got together and thanked the children for seriously thinking about the value of honesty during this month. Review your understanding of honesty this month. Ask if anyone knows what "convention" means. Then, it is suggested that a strict integrity convention should be made at home so that every family member can trust each other. Draw up a short agreement, starting with "We promise each other …", and let everyone, including parents and children, sign it.
Honesty award
This is a way to motivate children to evaluate their honesty. On Sunday or any other day when the whole family usually gets together for dinner, ask everyone, "In the past week, who encountered a situation where honesty was a big challenge?" Give a reward to those who remain honest under pressure. It is a good prize to write the word "sincerity" neatly on a piece of colored art paper or colored card. Let the children or adults who win this prize stick it on the door of their bedroom next week until the prize is awarded again next week.
