Consultations for preschool teachers.
How to raise a little patriot? Question: “What is patriotism? S.I. Ozhegov defined patriotism as “devotion and love for one’s Fatherland, one’s people.” G. Baklanov wrote that this is “not valor, not a profession, but a natural human feeling.” Education of patriotic feelings (from the history of pedagogy) V G. Belinsky, K.D. Ushinsky, N.A. Dobrolyubov and others believed that education in a child becoming a citizen of his homeland is inseparable from instilling in him humane feelings: kindness, justice, the ability to resist lies and cruelty. The teachers argued: “Those high patriotic feelings that characterize a developed adult and which are capable of inspiring him to great deeds and noble deeds are not given to a child ready-made from birth. They arise and develop throughout childhood under the influence of social conditions of life and upbringing.” In a broad sense, patriotism is interpreted as the personification of love for modern life, its achievements and problems. By patriotic education we mean the interaction of an adult and children in joint activities and communication, which is aimed at revealing and forming in the child universal moral qualities of the individual, familiarizing him with the origins of culture, the nature of his native land, and nurturing an emotionally effective attitude.

You need to go from near to far. Forms of organizing work with children: conversations, didactic games, travel games, excursions, conversation games, dramatization games, entertainment, etc. V. A. Sukhomlinsky “The beauty of the native land, revealed through fairy tales, fantasy, creativity, is a source of love to the Motherland. Understanding and feeling the greatness and power of the Motherland comes to a person gradually and has its sources in beauty." The most important thing is to remember that a responsible approach to business, a mother’s attitude towards a child, a benevolent acceptance of his independence, and not the establishment of petty guardianship over him - all this is folk pedagogy (also a component of patriotic education), and even under normal conditions it will help to implement the program, the content of which must first be mastered by the adults themselves.b/

Patriotic education of children of senior preschool age

Fostering love for one's homeland and respect for one's people begins in early childhood. And it begins not with the abstract “we love our country,” but with knowledge, with the attitude that is formed in children everywhere - in the family, on the street, at national holidays, events - and in kindergarten, under the guidance of a teacher. The teacher has many means to form a patriotic culture in children.

Patriotism

- a moral principle, a social feeling, the content of which is love for the fatherland and the willingness to subordinate one’s private interests to its interests. Patriotism presupposes pride in the achievements and culture of one’s homeland, the desire to preserve its character and cultural characteristics and identification with other members of the nation, the willingness to subordinate one’s interests to the interests of the country, the desire to protect the interests of the homeland and one’s people. The historical source of patriotism is the existence of separate states established for centuries and millennia, which formed an attachment to their native land, language, and traditions. In the conditions of the formation of nations and the formation of national states, patriotism becomes an integral part of public consciousness, reflecting national moments in its development.

Patriotism, as a moral quality, is the result of purposeful education, and preschool childhood is a favorable period for introducing a child to the national culture. Therefore, it is very important to begin raising a true patriot of one’s homeland precisely at this age, when the child begins to intensively develop socially. This period, in its psychological characteristics, is the most favorable for the formation of patriotism, since preschool children are characterized by high sensitivity, easy learning, unlimited trust in adults, the desire to imitate them, emotional responsiveness and interest in everything around them.

Patriotic education of children is one of the main tasks of a preschool institution. The feeling of patriotism is multifaceted in content. This includes love for one’s native places, pride in one’s people, a sense of inseparability with the outside world, and a desire to preserve and increase the wealth of one’s country. Therefore, our task, as teachers, is to: cultivate in a child love and affection for his family, home, kindergarten, street, city; formation of a caring attitude towards nature and all living things; instilling respect for work; developing interest in Russian traditions and crafts; formation of basic knowledge about human rights; expanding ideas about cities (depending on where the child lives); introducing children to the symbols of the state: coat of arms, flag, anthem and understanding their meaning and symbolism; developing a sense of responsibility and pride for the country’s achievements; the formation of tolerance, a sense of respect for other peoples and their traditions. These problems are solved in all types of children's activities: in classes, in games, in work, in everyday life. Patriotic education of a child is a complex pedagogical process. It is based on the development of moral feelings.

A child’s sense of homeland begins with his relationship to his family, to the closest people - mother, father, grandmother, grandfather. These are the roots that connect him with his home and immediate environment. The feeling of the Motherland begins with admiration for what the child sees in front of him, what he is amazed at and what evokes a response in his soul. And although many impressions have not yet been deeply realized by him, when passed through childhood perception, they play a huge role in the formation of the personality of a patriot. Each nation has its own fairy tales, and they all pass on from generation to generation the basic moral values: kindness, friendship, mutual assistance, hard work. An older preschooler should know the name of his city, his street, the streets adjacent to it, and also in honor of whom they are named. They explain to him that every person has a home and a city where he was born and lives. This requires excursions around the city, into nature, observation of the work of adults, where each child begins to realize that work unites people, requires them to be coherent, mutual assistance, and knowledge of their business. And here, acquaintance of children with the folk crafts of the region and folk craftsmen becomes of great importance.

In kindergarten, it is especially important to support and direct the child’s interest in people of other nationalities; tell where the people of a particular nationality live geographically, about the uniqueness of nature and climatic conditions on which life, clothing, the nature of work, and cultural features depend. By the end of preschool age, the child should know: our country is inhabited by people of different nationalities; every nation has its own language, customs and traditions, art and architecture; Every nation is talented and rich in craftsmen, dancers, musicians, and artists.

The purpose of patriotic education

is the formation of the foundations of patriotism as a moral quality of the individual, the development in the individual of high social activity, civic responsibility, spirituality, the formation of a personality with positive values and qualities, capable of demonstrating them in the creative process in the interests of the Fatherland; education of a convinced patriot who loves his Motherland, devoted to the Fatherland, ready to serve it with his labor and protect its interests.

The period of preschool age, in terms of its psychological characteristics, is the most favorable for the education of patriotism, since a preschooler is distinguished by trust in an adult, he is characterized by imitation, suggestibility, emotional responsiveness, and sincerity of feelings. Knowledge and impressions experienced in childhood remain with a person for life.

is one of the moral qualities of a person, which is formed already in preschool age, and, like any moral quality, it includes:
