#THEBEGINNINGOFLIFE


I Love This!!!
There's so much life to this.cJust as how Steve Biddulph travels around the world to write about Boys and Girls - how they were brought up, the processes and how different culture differs in that processes. This one is documented in a film!
A must watch!



* The Beginning of Life documents the lives of young children and their families across the world to help shine a light on the significance of the early years, and how a child’s environment during this formative stage can shape their cognitive, emotional and social development.
Officially launched on May 5th, the film premiered in São Paulo and is currently available for public exhibitions on the VIDEOCAMP platform. The official global launch will be on June 1st, when the film will be made available via various global Video on Demand platforms like Netflix and iTunes.

Ada Apa Dengan Emergent Literacy @ Awal Literasi?


Lihatkan bagaimana anak-anak ini membaca buku.
Membaca tidak bermaksud membaca perkataan. 
Membaca juga bermaksud membaca gambar.
Bagi anak-anak seperti ini, perkataan itu adalah gambar-gambar.

Awal Literasi seperti ini perlu di lakukan sebelum anda menyuruh mereka untuk menulis atau membaca perkataan.
Menanam minat pada buku sangat perlu. Peluang seperti ini perlu ada di taska atau tadika sebelum memulakan pembelajaran akademik.
It is knowledge when you could describe as such. These children learn to understand by sharing stories. Ada Apa Dengan Emergent Literacy atau Awal Literasi?

Children & Emotion


Bersama saya esok di KinderKaizen Wangsa Maju untuk mengupas topic ini.
Ya semalam saya menyaksikan anak-anak yang menangis di sebuah Tadika Swasta - dan tidak ada siapa yang attend. Saya MARAH! Tapi saya senyapkan aja. Sebab saya tahu kehadiran saya (untuk pick up a few children to go to KinderKaizen) tidak pernah di gemari oleh guru-guru di situ. Mungkin kerana saya pernah SOUND mereka berkenaan cara mereka handle budak.

If only parents knew. 
If only parents see.
Mesti ramai yang tidak puas hati. 
Malangnya, ramai yang tidak tahu.
No one attended to the crying child. 

Ada parents yang sedang menunggu, pun buat-buat tak tahu and bila kawan parents tersebut bertanya, mereka hanya angkat bahu dan lagi best cikgu memang buat tak tahu!
Saya yang berdiri memerhati, sudah boleh baca apa yang menggusarkan hati anak tersebut.

Simple! Kasut yang di pakai terbalik, and he finds it so difficult to put it on. Umur? I would say less 4 years old. Belum INDEPENDENT!
Did anyone help? Ya Allah, he was crying for like 10 minutes, until someone did actually attended him. And there were like 3 adults around. COME ON! Once masalah settle, his needs was attended, masalah selesai, he STOPPED crying!
Haihhhh, saya UPSET!

Dalam masa yang sama, ada pula seorang kanak-kanak lelaki yang meludah ke muka seorang kanak-kanak perempuan. And being me (SORRY!), tanpa sedar, saya terus minta anak-anak tersebut to stop!
Masa tu dah tak kisah dah even if my presence was not welcomed. My priority are these children! Behaviour issues.

Saya memang upset dgn NEGLIGENCE oleh orang dewasa seperti ini. Kalau boleh, nak aje saya bawa these children masuk KinderKaizen. InsyaAllah akan ada Cognitive, Affective and Psychomotor Learning Processes. Semuanya seimbang. Tapi masih ramai yang belum faham Play Based Learning concept. It is a SHAME! And a waste of their children's life time!

Upset sungguh.
Jika anda seperti saya yang sememangnya kisah dgn EMOSI anak-anak kecil, please come to this talk!

Attend Them!


That child is crying - Please Teachers - Attend them!!!



Antara perkara yang saya cukup tak suka melihat di setting lain.
Please attend these crying children. It's heart breaking.
And watching other parents just looking at them - Aiyoo.. tak rasa bersalah ke?
Give them a hug! Talk to them! Make them HAPPY! Because that is our aim pun kan? Be a little bit empathetic!

Play Based Learning


First day today for KinderKaizen Damansara Perdana. Alhamdullillah dan anak-anak sudah menangis tak mahu balik rumah.




Tak perlu jauh-jauh ke Finland. Di KinderKaizen, kami sudah praktikkan Play Based Learning since July 2014. Yes, selepas 2 tahun sekembalinya saya dari UK.
My fights for such environment for the children. My fights for the right method and exposure for these children.
Dalam perjuangan ini, sememangnya ada banyak halangan tapi saya yakin jika inilah fitrah anak-anak. Especially bila Rasullullah SAW juga menekankan BERMAIN sebagai asas 6 tahun yang pertama. Apa lagi yang mahu dipersoalkan?

InsyaAllah, cubalah grab KinderKaizen paling berdekatan dengan anda. You will see the difference. Semoga Allah permudahkan perjalanan ini.
