Getting to Know International Organizations: Part 1

         I would definitely choose to look to the UNICEF website to combat international poverty. (https://www.unicef.org/social-policy). The reports on this website are an excellent resource for reaching news about the fight against poverty that is happening in the world. UNICEF helps support children through donations and tries to offer 7 million more lives in humanitarian settings. Research studies are ongoing, and these routine poverty measurements and reports raise awareness for the whole world.

The things that attract my attention from this website are as follows:

  • Poor children around the world die twice as much as their peers who have better conditions before their fifth birthday.
  • Nearly two-thirds of children worldwide cannot be protected from the lifelong consequences of poverty.
  • Around one in three children, roughly 663 million, live in poverty in the world.
    (UNICEF Annual Report, 2019)



Emergency children are the most vulnerable group against diseases, malnutrition, and violence: Children
Education
61 million children of primary school age cannot go to school.
Nutritional Requirement
Every 15 seconds a child dies because it cannot be fed.
Health
A healthy child means a healthy adult of the future.
Clean water
More than 800 children die every day due to water-related diseases.

Issues and Trends in the Early Childhood Field

-
    Issues and Trends in the Early Childhood Field   Faster than we ever thought: the first years of a child’s life set the stage for all future growth. In the earliest years of life, especially from pregnancy to age three, babies need nutrition, protection, and stimulation for healthy brain development. Recent advances in neuroscience provide new evidence about a baby’s brain development during this time. As a result, we know that in their earliest years, babies’ brains form new connections at an astounding rate – according to Harvard University’s Center on the Developing Child, more than 1 million every single second – a pace never repeated again (UNICEF, 2017).  POVERTY is one of the biggest problems disturbing the education system of the countries. When families live in poverty, it becomes impossible for the next generations of that family to get out of this situation. With early childhood education, young ages from low-income families get a q...

Nonviolent Communication and Conflict Management

-
  O'Hair and Wiemann (2012) say conflict is "inevitable" (p. 220). Conflicts are something that happens in every communication, sometimes easily overcome or sometimes not resolved. The less fight in human life, the more peaceful it will be. Of course, it is almost impossible to avoid this. A conflict I have encountered recently may have some communication problems in my family with my teenage son. My 14-year-old son's school offers them virtual or in-person education. My son wants to participate in virtual learning activities from home some days. Some days, under our forcing, he goes to school and gets training face to face. We support him in getting an education by going to school so he can socialize at school. He has recently been volunteering to participate in virtual education because he can play online games during training breaks (lunch, physical education, recess). He cannot manage his time at all when he played computer games. I tried to explain this situa...

I am not a good podcast listener, I have listened to English podcast when I was learning English, but I hope to turn my routine into habits with this lesson. In my researches, https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-early-childhood-research-podcast/id1039178520 apple's podcasts caught my attention, and I found works on a wide range of topics in early childhood. The website that I decided to look at is the NAEYC website. I chose this website to have general knowledge about my field, to access information quickly, and to keep the developing resources under control. For this, we must continuously check. This website gives us a lot of awareness for our career and why we do our job. Also, this website provides us with positivity and encouragement during all trial periods we encounter every day.
