Established traditions of preschool educational institutions, groups
Folk traditions have existed since time immemorial. Over time, with the development of society, traditions expand, change, some are forgotten, and some, on the contrary, become firmly established in our lives. There are family traditions, there are traditions that belong to a particular group, but no matter what the traditions are, they are all aimed at uniting people, the desire of people to unite and somehow diversify their lives, decorate them emotionally, bring some positive aspects, associated with a significant event, with the memory of good deeds.
There are traditions in raising children. Basically, these are traditions specific to one particular family. And first of all, in the mind of a small child, the traditions of relationships that exist in the family between parents are deposited; the child develops tastes and habits similar to adults long before the process of realizing what is happening begins. After all, children’s behavior follows the principle of copying. As the child grows up, he comes to kindergarten and his behavior becomes more conscious. Finding himself in a new environment, a child learns new patterns of behavior and masters forms of human relationships that are new to him. The child begins to develop moral qualities, aspirations, and ideals. And this formation is greatly facilitated by those sometimes unique traditions that exist not only in kindergarten, but specifically in each kindergarten group. Each such tradition is aimed, first of all, at uniting the team. And if the teachers in the group adhere to a humane approach to children, where each child is an individual, and everyone together is a friendly team, then it is traditions that help the child master the values of the team, promote a sense of belonging to a community of people, teach them to predict the development of events and choose methods of action. Therefore, creating group traditions in kindergarten and passing them on to the next generation of students is necessary and necessary work.
Traditions play a big role in strengthening friendly relations and provide great assistance in raising children. Traditions in which children directly participate together and with the teacher are firmly embedded in children’s memory and are already inextricably linked with childhood, with the memory of kindergarten as a common home, where every child is loved and respected. Our kindergarten has already firmly established traditions that have found a response in the hearts of more than one generation of pupils. These traditions are accepted with great pleasure by children and parents, improved and multiplied. Each tradition is aimed at achieving a specific educational goal. Each tradition is time-tested.
