The principles of education of V.A. Sukhomlinsky

1. Teach to live

The teacher insisted that high school students should be taught relationships, explain how to show love for your spouse and children, how to deal with your desires, how to find a compromise in the family. In addition to school, parents should teach this by their example from birth.

2. Be a real father

In addition to caring for the child, the father should engage in self-education. So V.A. Sukhomlinsky called personal development and continuous work. This will be a powerful way to influence children. A child wants to be good, but he needs an example to become better, smarter, more educated himself.

3. Be a talented parent

For real parenting, it’s enough for adults to just be around and set an example, not a notation, about how to relate to loved ones and act in different cases. Attachment theory, popular today, confirms this idea.

“How to make sure that the word educates, so that there are strings on the violin of a child's soul, and not ropes? In early childhood, a person must go through a great school of subtle, heartfelt, human relationships. "

4. Be a wise teacher

The teacher talks a lot about difficult children. Even the most lost and hopeless student always has at least a grain of good. The biggest mistake teachers have made is to constantly state a student’s failure. Remember that all children are born with different abilities. The task of the school is not to scold, but to develop in the child as many of these abilities as possible. V.A.Sukhomlinsky used his own grading system in elementary school. Those who coped with the task were given A's, but they did not give two marks lagging behind in the subject. The teacher urged not to make an idol out of evaluation. He said that soulless numbers should not be treated as indicators of well-being. It is wrong to divide children into successful and unsuccessful only by means of assessment. And today we absolutely agree with him.

5. Educate without punishment

If there is a need for punishment, it means that educational mistakes were made. Parents are mistaken in thinking that prohibition is the most important manifestation of parental authority. Being demanding does not mean seeking blind obedience. Parents should feel the thin border where the limit of their power ends and the intimate world of the child begins.

6. Develop curiosity

From the very beginning of a child's conscious life, parents should pay his attention to the cause-and-effect relationships between objects and phenomena of the surrounding world. Learn to observe. Even an ordinary walk will help with this. Talk about trees having different heights, some growing moss, some plants like sunlight and others not. Gradually, the child himself will notice the details of the world around him. At this moment, major changes take place in his brain.

7. Be able to do homework quickly

V.A. Sukhomlinsky wrote that the lessons should always be done at the same time. The regime teaches perseverance and independence. It is imperative that the student does his homework alone, and not in the company of classmates. Since, according to his observations, the joint work of stronger and weaker students only leads to the fact that the weak ones end up mechanically writing off, not having time to delve into the topic.
