Preschool education, where our children experience the most valuable developmental process, is very important to me. In all the seminars and educational activities I attend, I somehow bring the subject to pre-school education. I think that these years play a very active role in shaping a child's life. As scientific studies indicate, we work hard with both our families and our teacher friends to avoid losing these years when the brain learns most quickly and most actively.
Because one life will touch hundreds of lives.
If we look at the concept of pre-school education, it is considered as "the education received in a school before starting primary school". And by calculating the child's school age, parents start the process in accordance with the time when their child should go to kindergarten. Some children receive pre-school education for one year and some for two years. First of all, I think that the pre-school education process should be removed from the perception of school only. I try to emphasize this especially in my work with parents. Many things that are postponed by saying that the child will get used to it, learn it, and do it when he goes to school are postponed until the child is four or five years old. This is exactly where we need to improve.
The concept we call development is a situation that begins with the moment a baby falls into the mother's womb and ends with death. So this tells us: You are never too late, development continues! However, there are such valuable years of development that we say not to miss those years. Especially in the years up to the age of six.
It passes over time, it gets used to it over time, it opens up over time...
If the necessity of appropriate interventions and studies are not realized and steps are not taken during this time, the problems experienced will become more difficult over time. Again, growth and improvement may be possible, but why should we expect a simple knot to become a complex knot?
Let's think like this; Let there be ten documents you have to sign every day. And when you sign regularly, your workload will not tire you. What if we say I'll sign it later? Tomorrow, tomorrow... As those documents pile up, things get complicated and we can't get out of it. Of course, choosing the difficult instead of the easy one may also be an option, but when it comes to development, think of it as optional. We state that this cannot be done and serious health issues may occur.
You know, when you go to the health center, you give a blood test and your family doctor says, let's follow up on the results and then give the test again and we'll see; This is what we, the experts who follow children's development, aim for. We observe your children, make evaluations and share them with you.
The fact that parents' sensitivity on this issue has increased compared to previous years is a development that makes me very happy. I meet very nice people who want to follow the process about their children, get information and support them. In parallel with this, I continue to work with beautiful parents, whom I tirelessly try to explain to them and to make them realize the seriousness and necessity of the situation.
I would like to emphasize again that; Preschool education is not just education received at school. When a baby starts breathing, the education process of its parents and social environment begins. This is such a good education that parents are in a position to both live and help others, thanks to their children. How good it is for parents to discover with their children many things that they may have missed in their time and to be a part of this development.
These months of the year are the months of parents who are preparing to go to the first grade of primary school and cannot decide whether to go or not. While parents think that their children are ready, they also take into account the problems they may experience. The best thing to do at this point is; The observations of the child's preschool teacher, a competent expert who evaluates school readiness, and the opinions of the parents will be evaluated in a pool. Some spots can be a warning sign.
We said that one life will touch hundreds of lives. We will act without fear or concern for our child's own life and the lives of those around him, but by following, understanding, sharing and developing.
This is a team effort. I do not see any obstacle that cannot be overcome if we act together with team spirit.
Let every rising sun be a new beginning for our children and us...
