习俗何以促进儿童道德成长

How Customs Promote Children's Moral Development

习俗作为世代沿袭逐渐积累起来的社会生活文化事象,反映了某一群体共同拥有的行为模式与价值观念。习俗与道德具有同源性,它具有天然的道德特性,与儿童道德成长有着密切联系。习俗在其形成、发展和演变的过程中不断通过伦理道德精神熏陶、群体情感浸润以及行为规范约束,促进个体道德认知发展、道德情感丰润与道德行为习惯养成。同时,人们也要认识到,习俗不同于道德,良俗才具有育人价值。学校需要引导儿童对习俗进行理性审思,辨风正俗,充分挖掘习俗性道德资源,依托日常教学与开发特色习俗课程,围绕传统文化开展习俗德育活动,引导儿童广泛参与社会习俗活动,构建习俗育人体系来促进儿童道德成长。

Customs,a phenomenon from social life and culture accumulated and inherited from generation to generation,reflect a behavioral mode and values shared by a certain group.Sharing the same origin with morality,customs feature morality by nature,and are closely connected with children's moral development.During their formation and evolution,customs are constantly edified by ethical and moral spirit,infiltrated by group emotions,and restricted by behavioral norms so as to promote the development of individual moral cognition,the enrichment of moral emotions,and the formation of moral behaviors and habits.Meanwhile,people need to realize that customs are different from morality,and that only good customs are of educational value.Schools need to guide children to think rationally about customs and distinguish good customs from bad ones,explore customary morality resources,carry out activities about customary moral education by relying on daily teaching,the development of customs-related courses,and traditional Chinese culture,guide children to participate in customs-related activities,and build a system for customs-based cultivation of talents so as to promote children's moral development.
