In this research, on the basis of inheriting the research results of Kolb and his predecessors, with a viewpoint on theoretical approach to experiential education and consulting with experts, educational administrators and preschool teachers, the author has researched and proposed a model of educating kindness for 5-6 year old children in Vietnam through experiential education, including the following specific steps: Concrete experience; Analytical observation; Concept formation/drawing lessons; Positive test. The model recommended by the author has been experimentally proven in some preschools in Vietnam. The results of the experimental application show that: This model is consistent with the practice of early childhood education in Hanoi and can be applied to many other preschools in Vietnam.
