how can parents help children's moral development.
Answers
Answer:
Help children use moral behavior. Offer opportunities to care for pets, babysit, etc. Encourage your child to come up with ways to make reparation if he hurts someone or something. Instead of forcing your child to make an immediate apology, guide them to understanding their behavior.
Model respect when speaking to young children by bending down to the child’s level, acknowledging feelings and concerns rather than dismissing them, and using an appropriate voice for the situation.
Use positive discipline instead of punishment (don’t teach “might makes right.”) “No one who has ever done anything great or successful has ever done it simply because he was attracted by what we call a ‘reward’ or by the fear of what we call punishment…Every victory and every advance in human progress comes from some inner compulsion.” – Maria Montessori, The Discovery of the Child

Instead of forcing your child to make an immediate apology, guide them to understanding their behavior. Keep tools like brooms, dustpans and spill buckets on hand for clean up, or suggest that children offer an ice pack to a friend who is hurt. Children then see themselves as helpful, caring people.
Don’t go overboard with praise. Instead of immediately reacting with praise, try to acknowledge and contemplate your child’s behavior instead. For example, “I see what you did. I see you helped your brother. He looks really happy.”
When—not if—your child makes a mistake, realize that mistakes are part of learning and growth. Many times in life, we learn the most from the times we made mistakes.
