Goals and objectives of education

When solving the issues of upbringing, it should be remembered that there are a considerable number of models of upbringing, which depend on the means, goals and forms of the alleged impact on the person. For example, there is a religious and secular, democratic and authoritarian, international and national, and so on.

The main issue remains the goal of education. Not realizing its holistic task, it is impossible to properly raise a child. LN Tolstoy believed that any intervention in the life of a child can only make sense if it contributes to the development of individuality, the disclosure of talents and the removal of any factors that impede harmonious internal development. Work on yourself, help in the process of becoming a person's personality - these are the tasks of education in the family. If, as a result, a person finds himself in the world around him, and not continuously restrained by harsh influences, education will be good.

The tasks of family education

The most important task of family education is to bring the child into independent work on himself throughout his life, to the ability to use the gift of inner freedom. Often parents restrict the freedom of the child, they are right, but they must remember that it is not necessary to artificially increase the pressure: this impact makes sense only if it teaches the child to own and appreciate their own freedom, and to fully control their own forces.

The tasks of education are not so simple - to take, for example, the question of discipline. If a child has been taught from childhood that he has many rights, but there are no duties, this not only speaks of the inability of parents to educate, but also can lead to difficulties in the independent life of the child in the future.

Place of discipline in education

Teaching discipline begins from the first days of life - this is the main goal of moral education. It is necessary to clearly distinguish between what is allowed and what is not, for which they will always be punished, and not under the bad mood of the educator. The task of the family is to teach the child to his duties from the very childhood. Have you ever wondered why now most of young people are inclined to easy, often even criminal, earnings? This is all the consequences of incorrect education: in the childhood these people were not burdened with work and care, providing them completely. If a child is allowed everything, and thus he is not responsible for anything, he eventually begins to "command" his parents.

The tasks of education are to distinguish between the adoption of discipline and mandatory rules and attempts to impose their views on the world, their tastes, moods, feelings and experiences on the child. It is important to have a good example before your eyes: the family must follow the same rules. It is also important that parents try to understand the point of view of their child, his interests and tastes. Everyone in the family should have their own duties, which are able to consolidate in a person a sense of their own importance, a sense of responsibility.

Also, the tasks of education are to create conditions for the harmonious development of the child's personality. It is very important to determine the child's talents and weaknesses in time, because quite often some gift of the child lying on the surface obscures the main one. For example, giving quick results writing poems can distract a child from the exploratory talent hidden in him. To identify and develop the latter, a long and laborious work is necessary, but it is natural for children to give preference to easier ways.

However, the tasks of mental education are not in the forefront. It is more important to educate a person from a child, not a scientist. It is not important to what heights the future career of a child will fly to, but the way it will become a person.
