Why Character Building is Essential?

It seems that for raising children no planning is required. The management of children, especially the character building is effected badly if they are not properly brought up. Parents either don’t research about the matter or their thinking is inconsistent. The decisions made by parents on different situations are taken without any reasoning. Most of the decisions are implemented on the basis of their personal feelings or from the reasoning that has been delivered, whether good or bad either it is related to the education of children or any personal decision.

Character Building consists of two aspects. First, ethical socialization which is the training of children that helps them become a good person throughout their life. It is often confusing to find out what is morally right or wrong. Secondly, providing students with intellectual resources that facilitate them to think and make proper judgments regarding different matters of moral value. Both aspects of ethical education are integrated.

In schools character building is done in many ways. They have moral values incorporated with their dogmas, rules, penalties, uniforms, physical activities, coaching methods, associations among teachers and students. Teachers convey to children what is right and wrong. Students grasp values from the behavior of their elders. It is the responsibility of educators to cultivate students’ personal and public skills which includes bravery, responsibility, respect of elders and community service.

Character building is an initiative which is needed to engage the minds and hearts of students in developing their personality and behavior. We need to help them to learn well, think well and do great.
