RESEARCH THAT BENEFITS CHILDREN AND FAMILIES—UPLIFTING STORIES



    Early childhood education given to children covers the years that the child spends from birth until the day it starts primary school, provides rich, stimulating environment opportunities suitable for children's development levels and individual characteristics; supports their mental, physical, social, and emotional development; guides them in the best way in line with the cultural values ​​of the society. It is an education process included in the fundamental education integrity and prepares it for primary education.

    It is a known fact that learning begins with birth. Therefore, it is essential to be aware that first education starts with a child's birth. Since most of the cognitive and affective development is complete when the child begins school, age 6-7 is considered too late to address their learning needs. Education to be given at an early age provides a basis for the child's later life.

    Therefore, between the years 2010- 2016, I want to share research on a project of the Ministry of National Education of Turkey, I trained every child parents who enrolled in the school. This research project aims to enable families, who are an essential milestone in early childhood education, to realize the importance, application methods, and benefits of their education—with parental involvement, teaching parents skills specific to the subject, providing social and emotional support, exchanging information between parents and professionals, joining a group of parents, developing appropriate parent and child relationships, and providing parents with social resources. It has been defined in many different ways, such as helping them reach (Bekman, 2000).
    As a result of the training applied and other studies, it was determined that there were statistically significant changes in the perception of family relations of the mothers and fathers in the experimental group and the concepts of the importance of child education (Temel, 2003, 46).

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.
