Moral development of children

M Faisal Saleh, Chunati Hakimia Kamil (MA) Madrasa Lohagara, Chittagong
A child is compared to a bud in which the potentiality of sweet smell is concealed. Usually a bud needs a favourable environment to be bloomed well; like a child needs a good family environment and care to be developed morally. Here, moral development means learning of good manners or behaviour and formation of character immaculately. The family is considered the dominant and effective place for the moral development of children. The foundation of children's behaviours is laid in accordance with family members' behaviours. Family members' bad behaviours or characters impede the moral development of children.
