TODAY'S REFLECTION

Today we invite one amazing woman who was shared her experience how to build a school for early children. There is one word that I recall during her visit, she said that she start her school because she likes in educational business. One important thing that sometimes we ignore. Build the business that you like then you can put your heart on your business.

I believe that we should put our heart on every thing that we do, by putting our heart it will motivate us to do the best. In learning process, when we raise our child, at the workplace etc. Working with heart is not as easy as the sound, we have the fluctuation of our feeling, sometimes we feel blue, sometimes we feel cheer up and the next day we can be angry. We have to control our emotion to motivate our self, no matter how we felt, we should finish the job.

I know that I am not perfect yet, I am still being influenced by my feeling sometimes and it reflect the way I do. If I am trying to be success, I should start put my heart on every thing that I do.

I promise that I am starting today...HOW ABOUT YOU???

CHILDREN & TECHNOLOGY

Children and Technology is it a benefit or a dangerous? That's the question that always been asking by a people especially for the parents. Technology for my point of view is only a tools, the way that we use is our responsibility. We can get the benefit from technology if we can use it wisely, but we get the poison from the technology usage if people can not control it.Since the responsibility of children is belong to the parents or the adult so how the children react is becoming the adult responsibility.

What is the most dangerous poison of technology usage especially for children?
1. Internet.
- Internet can be access every where and every time. Children can use the internet every time they want. American Psychologist has discovered that internet can trigger anti social personality especially if the children consume internet more than 5 hours a day. Internet usage makes children enjoy and forget the reality. The more children use the internet the more they will be addict and slowly they will not interest to start relationship with other people. Internet can be enjoyable because children don't have to move from their chair but get they want. Internet can provide the answer of their homework, the games or the music that they favorite with and ay other activities.

As the parent we need to control the time our children is using the internet. We have to show the beauty of any others activity beside internet. introduce them to physical activity and also other children. Teach them how to socialize with other children.

Beside the time consuming by children, parents also has to accompany children when using an internet. Parent can help children give an explanation about the content in internet and also to control the children not to open the dangerous web.

2. Peers Pressure

Children are very influencing by their peers. Sometimes the peers pressure are more affected to children. Children also interested to try a new things, they like to explore and with a help from their friends the eagerness to try a new thing is increase. Negative influence usually is more interested also rather than positive influence. Regarding technology usage, with peers pressure children can try to open a forbidden web side only for their own curiosity. They can play the game and also copying what they have seen.

Parents can minimize the peers pressure by accompany them when using a technology. Moral education is also help children prevent from the negative of peers pressure. Parents should give a moral education to children. Children can judge good and bad by his own because the already have their values.

GREATEST LOVE OF ALL IN CHILD EDUCATION


"I believe that children are our future, Teach them well and let them lead the way, Show them all the beauty they possess inside, Give them a sense of pride to make it easier. Let the children’s laughter remind us how we used to be.
Everybody searching for a hero, People need someone to look up to, I never found anyone who fulfilled my needs, A lonely place to be, And so I learned to depend on me"

Everybody familiar with the lyric from the song of "GREATEST LOVE OF ALL" whose been singing beautifully by Whitney Houston. For me that lyric not only become my favorite word but also inspire me during my journey to find myself. Especially now when I am taking my study in early childhood education. As the song said "I believe the children are the future" and I believe by teaching the children I also contribute to the future at the end.

The basic of early childhood education is learning through play, let the children explore themselves, find their own way to find the answer. As the teacher our job is Teach them well and let them lead the way. Is not an easy job for us, we should have more patient because sometimes the children need more time to find the answer. To be able to do that I always put the word in my head Show them all the beauty they possess inside, Give them a sense of pride to make it easier. Let the children’s laughter remind us how we used to be.  just give children more reward than punishment, let them pride of what they have been to do, even though is not perfect yet. Put our self in children's perspective, just remember that we have been young before and remember don't put the adult standard for the children. They have their own development and we have ours. Let the children  laugh, the more they laugh the happier they become. For me, the laugh of the children is more precious than a gold.

Everybody searching for a hero, People need someone to look up to. The children is looking for their role model, adult person that they can count on. Someone with whom they can trust, teach and show them the right way to finish their development stages.I have my own children to whom I will put my future. I tried to give him a good model.I don't want my children said I never found anyone who fulfilled my needs, A lonely place to be, And so I learned to depend on me. I want him to know that he can count on me so he don't have to be lonely. As a teacher we have to give this spirit to our student.

I decide to dedicated my life to the child education and even though I don't have enough experience for that I will try and try and find my own way to succeed. The rest of the song will inspire my through my journey
 
I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone’s shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can’t take away my dignity
Because the greatest love of all
Is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all
Inside of me
The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all

And if by chance, that special place
That you’ve been dreaming of
Leads you to a lonely place
Find your strength in love
