My Family Culture

-

    I witnessed close to the migration of refugees from Syria to Turkey, starting in 2015.  I know when those desperate people who escape the war crossed the border with a suitcase or with sacks on their backs, and the Turkish people opened their doors and hosted them. I can remember what those people passed through and the suffering of the refugee children in our school.

    I can understand migration and the difficulties of migration as an immigrant. When I moved to the USA in 2016, I had the chance to carry all my home and personal belongings, and I could bring everything I valued here. 

    Therefore, I could only take three things with me made me think more and more about the importance of those things. If I had to move in this way, I would take my family's photo album with me because I would explain that my family is essential to me and that I want to keep them with me wherever I go. 

    The other thing would be the ring that my grandmother gave me when she heard that I had passed the university entrance exam. I am the first grandchild of my grandmother, who has 27 grandchildren, to go to university. The most important thing for her was that I would be a teacher. She was so happy that she gave me her spiritually valuable ring. This ring will give me the strength to continue my profession. 

    I would take my holy book with me, which tells me the rules by which I can teach my children our religious belief, that my faith is essential to me, and when I felt hopeless, I would have got something that I could turn to read and find peace of mind.

    If I had to choose one of these, I'm sure I would have had a hard time and would have taken my scripture with me. The insight and understanding that I gained in this article would be that culture The insight I gained from this exercise is that culture isn't limited to what others say or how they define you.  I have chosen here that I believe that religion is an indispensable element of my social life.


Today my birthday... so Happy Birthday to ME 🎂 🌹

    Hi Behice,
    I hope you are well. Happy belated birthday. You have valuable life experience with refugees from Syria. I was incredibly saddened at the thought of leaving my home, I cannot imagine how difficult it must have been for those families.

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.
