               A study entitled "the Role of Parents in the Cultivation of Morality and Ethics to Pre-nursery Children of Wat Phromsuvansamaggi, Bangkhac District, Bangkok is a survey research. This study focusses its attention to only the group of parents amo ounting to 300 persons, based on a descriptive statistic, namely. number and percentage. In the analysis of data T-test and Chi-Square test are also used wherever

necessary, The results of the study are as follows : The majority of parents played a vital role in the cultivation of morality and ethics to pre-nursery children and most of them strongly believe in Buddhadhamma, namely, the five precepts, the five ennobbling virtues, the ten items of meritorious action, six directions and four virtues for a good household life, yet their observation in religious rituals as the example to pre-nursery children was slightly low. From the proving of hypotheses it was found that the parents having the different level of belief in the five precepts, the ten items of meritorious action andfour virtues for a good household life had also the different level of training religious rituals to pre-nursery children, yet parents having the different level of belief in the five ennobling virtues and six directions had no different level of training religious

ritual to pre-nursery children. Whereas the parents having the different level of belief in the five precepts, the five ennobling virtues, the ten items of meritorious action, sic directions, and four virtues for a good houschold life played the different role in the cultivation of morality

and ethics to pre-nursery children. In addition, from a study the problems and difficulties were found that the majority to parents did ot derstanduddhadhamma and pay attention to training religious rituals to pre-nursery children, e.g., taking them to temple, to make merit and

a worship before going to bed or to practise meditation etc., and most of parents did only talking but no action. This resulted in the low fruitfulness of the cultivation of morality and ethics to pre-nursery children. From the above mentioned problems the parents had suggested that

Buddhist monks had to play a vital role in cultivation, training and preaching Buddhadhamma or religious rituals to parents and teachers so that they could observe and apply Buddhadhamma and religious rituals for a good daily life and for training pre-nursery children to be the good to parents and society.
