Character is not just
we show before others. It is the sum of many qualities, feelings, moral values
etc. Character formation is an integral part of education. Parents always wish
their children to achieve knowledge and to reach high positions. Most of the
parents are not bothered about the inculcation of good behaviour and moral values.
School being the second home of children has an important role in this regard.
In view of this, teachers are always ready to help children in all aspects. At
the same time children are also having certain duties and rules to be followed.
They should obey their parents, teachers and elders, practice good manners and
respect for each other.
Wordsworth said, “The child is the father of the
man”. Our childhood experiences are the basis of our character. It is the
character that formed in the childhood that decides our behaviour as an adult.
Whatever things we learn in our childhood only we follow and that only reflect
in us. If children lead a disciplined life, they will be disciplined gentlemen
when they grow up.
Learn to select
good practices and follow them for becoming good citizens of our country.
