The Education stresses
An educated child’s brain is one of the most important assets to
the world we live in today. And as you may know, there’s more to being an
educated person than just getting a college degree from a university. Learning,
or learning how to learn, starts at your own child’s birth from the womb and
continues throughout their life in many ways—from childhood through adulthood.
It can be done through the use of educational programs that teach skills for
living independently, like a course on cooking, caring for yourself or others,
socialization and much more.
In today’s society, many people take up courses such as the
following ones:
a) Child development (BCDD)
b) Psychology (CPDP)
c) Social work
d) Marriage counselling
e) Family Therapy
e) Counseling Families
e) Family therapy
In order to learn best practices of children's care during the
early years of our lives, we must first understand our children in all aspects
of their lives, including physical, emotional and intellectual development.
Children, who are already taught the proper habits to deal with various
situations, can learn new ways of communicating or creating environments around
them that give them the support they need to develop emotionally, physically
and intellectually while also becoming responsible citizens. With a strong
foundation in knowledge of the brain, learning through education, socialization
and the family structure, children will make responsible individual decisions
and become intelligent enough to think independently and become prepared and
comfortable with new skills. Through education, children should receive clear
professional instruction in all areas of life through an interactive curriculum
that provides them with opportunities to practice these skills. At home, we can
have fun doing activities like gardening, gardening projects, crafts and
cooking. For example, if my son was ever hungry, I would ask him to make my
meals using his favourite food and other ingredients so that I could cook myself
at least three times a week. He always brings something nice, tasty food that
he likes so it has been very productive. Another activity is playing games like
Scrabble where the children have to put together words and phrases to solve a
complicated game and create memories to memorize for later on. By engaging in
such activities as this, our children can learn the skills to be independent
individuals.
In addition to education, parents can also use this information
to help and encourage their young children. When our child reaches an
appropriate age and his/her brain development begins, we can begin giving them
some advice and guidance over the future. As children grow in age and they begin
to realize things that most adults do not understand, parents can offer them
advice like guiding them through difficult situations and helping them to
build independence and self-esteem. Of course, parental advice and guidance are
especially beneficial because it gives our children new strengths to learn and
grow from.
b) Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)
CBT can be used by adults and children together since both
teachers and pupils are going through similar developmental stages during their
lives, thus making both parties feel comfortable and accepting of each other’s
differences. We can use cognitive-behavioural training through which therapists
focus on teaching both adults and children healthy behaviours to prevent anxiety
and depression, as opposed to medication and other treatment measures. Our
children learn positive ways to relax and stay calm and composed while dealing
with stressful situations and learning healthy coping mechanisms. According to
research conducted by the University of California, psychologists found that
those in CBT groups had higher levels of relaxation and less stress and
sadness.
c) Motivation
Many adults, particularly those who are involved in high school,
enter college and get good jobs. These people spend thousands of dollars on
attending college due to the costs of textbooks, room and board, tuition and a lot
of time. They usually study several hours a day and continue to get better by
enrolling more and studying harder since they have a long way to go. In
contrast, our young children often drop out of school because they are unable
to pay for the expenses of their studies and can’t afford to purchase a good set of
books, room and board and other expenses. Since many children do not even have
access to the internet, we need to remind them about the benefits of staying in
school and attending classes. This helps them develop a lifelong habit of
finishing university education when they attain the grade of college. From
personal experience, I have noticed that once students achieve the grades of a
particular university, they continue on in it for longer. Their ability to pay
for their studies and their desire to learn further have been instrumental in
motivating me to ensure that other students do the same thing by helping them
start earning money for school. Also, in terms of academics, I believe that
students who are passionate about their fields and have the drive to pursue
degrees can succeed academically and professionally; a belief that has helped
me and students in my class to excel academically. Through such motivation, we
can develop a greater understanding of students and their readiness to succeed
academically. A student’s love to learn, determination to keep up with
academics and passion to get better academically is ideal for developing good
relationships with instructors. All students should always remember that their
passion for their subjects is a driving force that helps them grow
academically.
d) Employment
In today’s society, it is no longer uncommon to see many people
employed in corporate companies, but not without having taken some basic
educational courses that prepare and equip them for the job market. Many
employers pay well for the educational background of candidates, making it a
necessity to invest in oneself to gain these positions. After taking courses,
professionals can be easily hired into various industries like sales, customer
service and marketing. Students, who are able to meet certain qualifications
such as having a high school diploma, a four-year degree in English, or a
combination of those two, have the possibility of working in any of these
careers without even knowing it through the universities. Several universities
now have online employment services to provide students with employment
opportunities without studying for college and with ample opportunities. There
are career centres that facilitate students and teachers to explore
possibilities and find jobs with ease. If you look back a few decades ago,
almost everyone, aside from educators, had to go through university education
at minimum or no cost. Nowadays, with technological advancements and the
advancement of the Internet, we can obtain employment in virtually any field of
interest. You can explore careers such as journalism, advertising, media, public
relations, management and more! For instance, I am currently interned with an
organization called the American Red Cross of America which provides disaster
relief services to victims of disasters such as floods, fires and hurricanes.
My internship includes assisting rescue teams and medical facilities in
disaster response efforts. On average, it takes about four months to complete
my internship. I have received great satisfaction and happiness in my
profession because it has allowed me to advance in my skills and earn more
valuable experiences.
Finally, let’s talk about the effect of education on our
children’s families and our society. First of all, schools and colleges teach
our children how to become respectful and hardworking citizens. We can teach our
children to respect themselves by giving us a wide range of subjects such
as medicine, psychology, economics, history, chemistry and physics. Parents can
also instil such values in their children by introducing discipline in the
classroom; thus allowing our children to grow stronger in their individual
talents. Teaching our children to be respectable is something that develops
good communication between our children and their peers in school. One of the
best examples of my generation, especially my daughter, is my daughter’s
relationship with her peers. She spends a lot of her time talking to her
classmates as they engage each other in interesting discussions, to understand
each other. Another great aspect of her personality is the joy she derives from
exploring different topics related to different subjects. Whether we realize it
or not, it is crucial for us as parents and teachers to expose children and
adolescents to as many different subjects as possible—just like teenagers, they
have the chance to choose which one of us they would like to learn about. Such
exposure to learning new things not only improves our children’s
self-confidence and makes them independent thinkers, but also enables them to
make conscious choices, such as knowing their weaknesses and what they can do
to turn them into weapons. Not only are we educating our children with the
right skills, but we also make sure that they learn the necessary lessons that
will serve them well when they decide to move on from schooling. Teaching our
children and educating them also promotes civic awareness among youth.
Educating our youth to become responsible citizens who will promote equality,
democracy and social justice is necessary for promoting our country and
civilization.
e) Physical fitness
If we want our children to be physically fit, one of our biggest tasks is to make sure that our children are active. We can teach our children about physical fitness simply by exercising daily—like walking, running and playing outdoor sports. Regardless of whether physical fitness is taught through formal or informal means, we should certainly involve our children in physical activity and never stop moving from one place of play to another. Encouraging and modelling physical exercises and activities for kids from a young age is a fantastic way for parents to learn how our children should be physically fit by teaching them to jog, ride bikes, swim and jump rope. Also, teaching them how to swim and bike ride is essential because they are able to learn multiple skills simultaneously, which is essential for our community. Teaching our children and inspiring them makes them want to learn, not just ride bikes like their parent does. Taking our children on a tour of the United States, we saw people using bikes as a method of transport and transportation, not just for bike rides but also for leisure riding
