Pedagogical project “Formation of tolerance in children of senior preschool age”

Relevance of the project.

In the context of humanization and democratization of society, the problem of tolerance is very relevant, since today the values ​​and principles necessary for common survival and development come to the fore:

  • ethics and strategy of nonviolence;
  • the idea of ​​tolerance towards foreign and alien positions, values, cultures;
  • the need to search for dialogue and mutual understanding, mutually acceptable compromises.

This is due to social problems in society, conflicts on national and religious grounds, which are a direct threat to the security of the country. In Siberia, where people of different nationalities and religious beliefs live, the problem of external and internal migration of the population occupies a special place. Emerging relationship problems can be resolved only by cultivating a tolerant consciousness. Today, hostility, anger, and aggressiveness are becoming increasingly widespread among children and adolescents. There are many reasons for this behavior in children. First of all, it is worth noting the decline in the general level of culture, the mass of negative and often simply aggressive information that falls on the immature psyche of a child from the TV screen or through a computer, social indifference and lack of attention from adults.

The State Concept of Preschool Education states: “In preschool childhood, a child acquires the foundations of personal culture, its basis, corresponding to universal human spiritual values... The formation of the basis of personal culture means that the child is introduced to general, non-transient human values, and not to what can appear valuable to a certain circle of people in a certain region and at certain points in time, joins the universal (universal) means of human life.”

In preschool age, children develop skills of respectful and friendly behavior during relationships with representatives of different cultures, the ability to perceive the environment as the result of cooperation between people of different nationalities and different ethnic origins. They have a positive effect on a person, transform him, elevate him, and return him to a more harmonious state.

The period of preschool childhood is very important for the development of a child’s personality: throughout the entire preschool period, mental functions intensively develop, complex types of activities are formed, and the foundations of cognitive abilities are laid.

Kindergarten, being the first stage in the formation of interpersonal relationships, can and should pay special attention to the problem of tolerance, since it is in childhood that the foundations of human behavior in society are laid. But for this it is necessary to carry out systematic work with all participants in the pedagogical process, create a developmental and learning environment in groups, increase the level of self-awareness and tolerance among educators, preschool specialists, and parents of students.

The diagnostics of parents and kindergarten staff showed a low level of awareness of the problem of tolerance and a low level of national self-awareness. Social problems do not allow parents to pay enough attention to their children - the formation of their worldview. Therefore, one of the main tasks of a kindergarten is to develop in children self-awareness and a tolerant attitude towards the world around them.

Pedagogical ideas for teaching tolerance are contained in the works of many teachers of the past and present. Philosophers, teachers, and scientists interpret the concept of “tolerance” differently, and based on this, the principles of education are determined.

The formation of the foundations of tolerance in preschool children, despite the study of this issue by many famous teachers and scientists, has a number of problems and contradictions. The social order of modern society is focused on a free, independent person who knows how to build relationships with other people and respects their rights and freedoms. However, there are few structured and tested programs and methods for teaching tolerance in preschool age. The possibilities of preschool childhood have been well studied in terms of developing the child’s cognitive and creative abilities, but at the same time, the potential of joint cultural and leisure activities, which could become one of the forms of work to educate a tolerant personality, is not sufficiently used. The family's need for accessible technologies and methods of raising children with a focus on family values ​​and national traditions is not satisfied.

The need to resolve the identified problems in the preschool education system determined the choice of the project topic: “Formation of tolerance in children of senior preschool age.”

Objective of the project:

III : Presentation of the project.

“My son is a nationalist, what should I do?”

Case from practice. The mother of 13-year-old Dima came for a consultation with a psychologist. Barely holding back tears, she told the following story:

“My husband and I have always tried to raise our son correctly, the way he should. He, of course, knew from childhood that all people in the world are different. We watched cartoons with him and read books about the history of nations.

And then, imagine, I accidentally came across his correspondence on VKontakte (he, as usual, forgot to close his page), and there was such horror... It turned out that my son and two other children were bullying an Azerbaijani boy who joined their class this year. And they call him a chump, and they write all sorts of threats to him...

To say that I was shocked is to say nothing. I told my husband everything, in the evening they gave Dima a beating, and he responded: “So what’s wrong? He really is a fool! Hate him! Let him return to his village, but he has nothing to do here!”

My hands just gave up. Tell me what we did wrong? Why did our son become like this?

Typically, discriminatory attitudes in children start small. With offensive jokes towards a classmate who is unlike others. From disrespect and mockery of other people's traditions and customs. And if parents and teachers do not intervene in the situation in time, the son or daughter may join radical nationalism.

You should sound the alarm if your child:

  1. He began to move away from family and friends and spends a lot of time alone.
  2. He often watches videos on the Internet with extremist content or promoting Nazi ideas.
  3. Drastically changes his clothing style and appearance.
  4. I began to often talk about political and social topics. Expresses signs of intolerance with cliched, as if pre-prepared phrases.
  5. Experiences bouts of anger and uncontrollable aggression towards persons of another nationality.

What should parents do:

  1. Do not harshly condemn the teenager’s behavior; try to find out in a calm, confidential conversation the reason why your son or daughter supports these views. Be prepared for the fact that the situation will not change in one conversation.
  2. Assess your feelings: “It’s very painful and unpleasant for me that you do this.”
  3. If possible, limit your child’s interactions with people who have a negative influence on him.
  4. Seek help from a child psychologist.

The sooner a child realizes that “different, not like me” does not mean “bad,” the less likely it is that in the future he will turn into an aggressor, capable of humiliating and bullying people who are somehow different from him.

Presentation of the project at a meeting of teachers

Conducting a festival of theatrical mini-productions

“Theatrical Kaleidoscope” for children of kindergartens No. 163 “Harmony”, No. 164 “Fairy Tale” of Russian Railways JSC and parents of pupils

Work results:

  • Increasing the pedagogical competence of kindergarten teachers and specialists.
  • Compiling a card index of outdoor games, sports festival scenarios, and leisure activities with parents.
  • Improving the legal and pedagogical culture of parents (moving folders, memos and recommendations for promoting tolerance).
  • Development of creative abilities of kindergarten students and teachers, their communication skills.
  • Strengthening the cooperative relationship between the kindergarten and the parents of the pupils.

Why is it so important to talk about this with children?

In 2004, an incident that was striking in its cruelty occurred in St. Petersburg. A native of Tajikistan was returning from the skating rink with his 8-year-old daughter and nephew. Suddenly a group of armed teenagers jumped out at them shouting “Russia is for the Russians!” started beating the family. As a result, the man received a closed head injury, his nephew received knife wounds, and the girl could not be saved - she died from loss of blood.

This story is far from isolated. Hatred towards representatives of other nationalities begins almost from kindergarten, when migrant children are mocked not only by children, but also by teachers.

The same atmosphere reigns in schools: Tajik and Uzbek schoolchildren are subject to bullying and violence, especially if they have language problems and difficulties with adaptation.

This is evidenced by data from a sociological study conducted in September 2022 among students of Russian schools. 33.6% of respondents confirmed that they faced humiliation and ridicule from classmates because of their national characteristics.

Our children do not live in a vacuum. They, like sponges, absorb all views, attitudes and moods in society. And they don't become violent on their own. They are driven to this by the indifference of their parents, uncontrolled access to information in the media that traumatizes children’s psyches, and ignorance of cases of bullying at school. According to a 2022 study of students aged 11 to 17, 72% of respondents reported incidents of bullying to teachers and other adults, but the situation was never resolved.

All this awakens aggression and intolerance in children, which can subsequently develop into racism and nationalism.

Therefore, the task of parents is not just to tell their children about the existence of racial, religious and national differences between people, but also to teach them to accept and respect them.

Find out if your child is being bullied by peers or other adults when you are not around! Listen to what is happening around, see where the child is and call in any situation with the “Where are my children” application.
