《小妇人》中的家庭教育观

杨华萍

【内容提要】:

良好的家庭教育与孩子的全面成长，甚至与我们国家的未来是密切相关的。

为了使孩子们获得良好的教育和培养,让家庭教育成为孩子心中无尽的源泉,那么父母需要了解教育的本质，寻求适当的教育方法,并且把握教育机会来开拓孩子的潜力。

在某种程度上，《小妇人》这部小说为我们当前一代提供了宝贵的建议和有效的例子。

《小妇人》中受人尊敬的母亲--马奇太太，帮助她的女儿过着幸福美满的生活。

《小妇人》这部小说描写了女孩子所经历的烦闷和烦恼,然后为我们呈现她们是如何克服那些困难,并最终取得胜利的。

根据这一线索,论文将从以下几个方面研究家庭教育,即马奇太太在孩子的教育中运用了哪些观念,如何教育她的孩子,马奇太太的家庭教育对孩子们产生了怎样的效果。

最后,得出了一个结论:

家庭教育在孩子的成长中发挥着越来越重要的作用。

父母就应该用恰当的方式引导孩子,帮助他们健康快乐地成长。
