Sharing Resources at SaveTheChildren.org

Save the Children

         I would like to share SaveTheChildren.org, the education-related section of this website, which is in the area of ​​Global Programs and the USA Programs.
          U.S. programs and early school start programs for rural children allow children to start learning before going to kindergarten. It helps them prepare for school and make a positive transition to school by connecting their future kindergartens and their families to teachers and staff.
It's been surprising me since I discovered this website that has much valuable information. The global arena is early childhood development, comprehensive research, girls' education, and literacy rates, and studies on child nutrition are the highlights.

 
Three boys concentrate on their drawings at an Early Childhood Care and Development (ECCD) center in Burera, Rwanda. Their drawings depict a story from a book provided through Save the Children's support. These structured sessions of being read to – and drawing their interpretations of the story – are part of early literacy activities featured in Save the Children's Signature Education Program (Savethechildren.org)
          The Global Education team works in five main areas, offering the best solutions to help children learn and develop.
 Globally this program is "Through interventions that engage young children, as well as their parents, caregivers, and communities, Save the Children's Early Childhood Development programs ensure that young children survive and thrive — that they are physically and emotionally healthy and intellectually curious — and school readiness programs prepare them for school success (Savethechildren.org)" and aims to provide solutions.
 
(Every last child deserves the opportunity to learn. Thanks to people like you, Save the Children works every day to ensure all children have the best chance to learn. In 2018, we directly reached 8 million children through our global education programs. Together, we are achieving breakthroughs in education for children (Savethechildren.org).

"Early Child Care and Development: These programs are focused on children aged 0-6, a period of tremendous growth in all areas of a child's development. Our ECCD interventions range from work with 0-6-year-olds as well as efforts to enable parents or caregivers to promote brain development, health, and well-being as children prepare for school (Savethechildren.org)".

          Save The Children shares striking research on why it is so important to participate in early learning opportunities. According to research, in the first few years of life, about 700 neural connections are formed every second, and these connections are determined by the interaction of a baby's genetics, environment, and experiences, especially the interaction of the child with adults. These then become connections that build the brain architecture, which is the foundation upon which learning and behaviors are based.

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...

Expanding Horizons and Expanding Resources

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.
