Fostering Goodness:Teaching Parents to Facilitate Children’s Moral Development
نویسندگان
چکیده
Communities have been concerned with the type of person that children become throughout human history, and scholars have addressed the topic for over two thousand years. Aristotle addressed this issue in the Nichomachean Ethics. Jean Jacques Rousseau faced it directly in Emile in 1762. Over the past century a wealth of data has been amassed concerning the development of morality in children and adolescents. Throughout this time, the role of adults, especially parents, in the development of children’s morality has been a central focus. This paper will address the influence of parents on children’s moral development by first examining some selected aspects of moral development and then exploring the specific role of parenting and parent training in those domains.
