作为时代巨人，鲁迅在关注“人”的发展时，还关注儿童的成长。在他的一系列文章中，对当时的儿童教育给予批判，并提出了具有生命力的儿童教育观，丰富了现代儿童教育的内涵，对当下儿童教育也具有启迪和借鉴的作用。本文试图通过对鲁迅儿童教育观的研究，以发掘其儿童教育观的系统及其历史价值和现代意义；同时尝试着从儿童教育的角度，从侧面展示鲁迅的思想，进而为我们提供了又一个认识鲁迅的视角。于此，本文拟从三个方面来探讨鲁迅的儿童教育观：第一部分，鲁迅儿童教育观形成的原因：重点分析鲁迅童年时期所受到的家庭、学校教育及其成年时所受到国外先进的儿童教育思想的影响。第二部分，鲁迅儿童教育观的基本内容：在封建社会教育、家庭教育、学校教育中，儿童均处于缺失状态，鲁迅对此作了尖锐的批判；并在关爱儿童的基础上提出了“解放儿童，发展儿童个性，促进儿童自由健康的生长等”先进的、科学的儿童教育观。第三部分，鲁迅儿童教育观对当下的儿童教育的启示：当下儿童教育存在功利化的倾向，整个儿童教育出现了不尊重儿童甚至践踏儿童生命的不良现象，因此，教育需要尊重儿童的生命。现在倡导的儿童生命教育和鲁迅的儿童教育观是一脉相承的。

As a giant of the time, Lu Xun devoted his life to researching the development of Chinese civilization and at the same time paid much attention to the education for children. In many of his works, Lu Xun criticized the education system and suggested a vigorous view on it, which enriched the modern educational content and set a good example for today’s education for children. This article is trying to formulate a view by Lu Xun on the education for children--its historical value and modern meaning; moreover, the author is also trying to provide a new perspective to read Lu Xun’s mind by showing his thoughts from another aspect (that is, his view on children’s education).This article will discuss Lu Xun’s view on education for children in three pars. In part one, the originality of his view on children’s education. The emphasis is on analyzing various of influences he got from his family and school in his childhood and from foreign advanced thoughts on children’s education when he grew up. In part two, the basic contents of his view on children’s education. In the feudal educational system, children’s education was greatly ignored. Lu Xun criticized it sharply and brought out the advanced scientific view of children’s education “liberate the children, develop their personalities, promote them to grow up freely and healthily, etc.” on the basis of loving and caring children. In part three, the enlightenment of Lu Xun’s educational thoughts for today’s children’s education. Today’s education system for children tends to be much beneficiary; in some schools, children’s interests are ignored and their lives are threatened. Therefore, education should respect children’s rights, which goes along well with Lu Xun’s view on education for children.
