Early childhood education

Early childhood education (ECD) is good and proper child needs to face the future, that's the message delivered Professor Sandralyn Byrnes, Australia's & International Teacher of the Year as a small seminar on the show Giggle Playgroup Day, 2011, carpet Miniapolis & Giggle Management, Friday , February 11, 2011 last.

According to Byrnes, ECD will provide child preparation to face the days ahead, the closest is facing the school. "Currently, some kindergarten students had asked the kids who want to enroll in there already could read and count. In the kindergarten had been started to be taught social skills and problem solving. Because of the abilities that was to be formed from an early age, "said Byrnes.

In early childhood education, children are taught the basics of how to learn. "Certainly at an early age, they will learn its foundations. They are taught in a way that they know, that is through play. But not just play, but play directed. Through directed play, they can learn a lot, how to socialize, problem solving, negotiation, time management, conflict resolution, are in large group / small, social obligations, and 1-3 language. "

Because through play, children do not feel compelled to learn. While playing, the child's brain was in a state of calm. When calm, the education can enter and embedded. "Of course I could not play any origin, must be directed and this takes energy that has the ability and teach the right way. The class should contain the excitement, enthusiasm, and curiosity. Not the scene of a push-pull force between the pupil-teacher. Should have awakened the spirit of the attitude of children to learn, "said Byrnes.

For example, play a role as firefighters, children will not get anything if she only asked to wear clothes and bring running hose. However, teachers who understand should be able to invite children to use their brains when the child acted as firefighters, "What used by firefighters, boy? How fire truck sound right? What does the fire department? Such questions will be asked to provoke the intellect of the child, "Byrnes example.

Over the past 7 years researching early childhood education in Indonesia, Byrnes also found that some parents have the concept that children in the age that was to be thinking. "The children of early age can not think properly like an adult. Children this age should be guided how to think big, how to digest, and helplessness of reason. Unfortunately, some early childhood education institutions in Indonesia do not teach about multiple intelligences. This goes back to the development of expert background students, "said Byrnes.

What is the difference of children who study at institutions with high quality early childhood education of children who do not learn? "In early childhood education institutions are good, kids will learn to become an independent person, socialize strong, confident, have a great curiosity, could take ideas, develop ideas, go to another school and ready to learn, quick to adapt , and enthusiasm for learning. Meanwhile, children who do not receive enough education at an early age, will slow to accept something, "said Byrnes had ever earned a Woman of the Year from Vitasoy in Australia. "Children who do not receive appropriate early childhood education, would like a car that no gas leak. Children who are educated early age appropriate to have a full tank, the machine will almost immediately once he is on a new place. While children who have no education at an early age will have difficulty starting the engine, so slow. In my opinion, children's education can already started since he was 18 months, "lid Byrnes.
