A proverb put forward by Thomas Lickona
"Although the number of children is only 20% of the total population, but determines 100% of the future" Therefore moral cultivation through character education as early as possible to children is the key to building a nation.
Qualified characters need to be established and nurtured from an early age. Early age is a critical period for the formation of a person's character.
Many experts say that the failure of planting a character to someone from an early age, will form a problematic person in his adult life.in addition, instilling morale to the younger generation is a strategic undertaking.
Various opinions from many pediatric education experts, it can be concluded that the cessation of human character is of two factors, nature (natural factor or fitrah), where all human beings have tendency to love goodness and nurture (socialization and education) that is environmental factor. Education and socialization are very instrumental in determining what will result from a child
Moral education at an early age must be done since the child was born, if the age of the first 2 years of children have gotten love, it is very easy the child is formed into a man with noble character.according to the results of the study, 2-year-olds can already be taught moral values, even they can already have feelings of empathy for the difficulties or suffering of others
Character education conducted in schools can provide direction about the concept of good and bad according to the stage of development of the child's age.considering the importance of character building as early as possible, then every school, especially a kindergarten school can apply character education in its school
Benefits Daily Schedule For Children
Do not let child time wasted. Make the most of it so that what you get everyday can be maximal. One of them by creating a daily schedule.a regular schedule to make children get a variety of activities evenly, so that his experience more complete.
On the other hand, in the absence of a good daily schedule, the child will have immediate consequences that could be detrimental to himself. For example, if the child prefers to play then forget to eat, he will starve so easily disturbed his health.if lack of sleep, then the child will often fussy, irritable, and others.
Although the impact looks simple, if it often happens it can cause considerable losses. Children are often fussy for example, he could not get the benefits of social interaction to the maximum because in playing he will often sulk.when late to eat then he snack any, more susceptible to disease.
Not so when we apply a daily schedule well, children will actually get many benefits. He became more disciplined and responsible. The child can also be familiar with the concept of time and sequence concept.
Some of the benefits of applying a daily schedule to children include:
1.learning the concept of time.
Understanding the concept of time he got while doing various activities in the morning, afternoon, evening, and night. Morning, after waking up for example, the child will understand that at that time he must bathe, breakfast, and go to school. Later in the day she had to have lunch and take a nap.as well as afternoon and evening, the child will perform activities that are usually done at these times, from playing in the park to sleeping at night.
In order for children to understand the concept of time more deeply, try to explain the time when the child is doing the activity, "Adek, already morning, wake up yuk! After that we bathe." At noon we can say, "Well, this afternoon you're napping." With this explanation, the child becomes more aware of the concept of time.
2.learning sequence concept.
Once accustomed to doing the activities, children begin to understand the sequence of activities that must be done, "After bathing I will breakfast, then go to school." By understanding these sequences, the child's activities will run more regularly. Unlike a child who does not have a daily schedule, he will oddly perform his activities.maybe today he will take a nap first play or play first until the new afternoon sleep. Of course this does not make children learn orderly so much activity that should be utilized maximally even wasted
3.discipline
After understanding the schedule to do, the child will be sued for discipline to obey it, "Okay, now it's time to take a nap so I have to obey Mama." Indeed, initially rather difficult to apply this discipline but gradually the child will get used. Well, after the discipline is attached to the child, then it will be easy for children to do activities that we have scheduled.later in the adult, he is easier to set up his daily schedule because it has been accustomed since childhood. With high discipline usually the success of life will be more easily achieved.
- Responsible
Discipline is closely related to responsibility. Once the child is able to discipline. Automatic sense of responsibility will also appear.the child is responsible for what to do in the morning, afternoon, evening, and evening. "Now it's lunch time, I have to eat," for example. Attitude of responsibility that has emerged since childhood will be very useful later in adulthood. He will be better able to accept the task and finish it well.
