In her opinion, the main obstacle to the development of modern children is the use of mobile phones.
Medina, a teacher with a big heart, deeply understands the world of children. She was born and raised in the At-Bashinsky district of the Naryn region, where her love for her homeland determined her life path, including her choice of a marriage partner.
She is a caring mother of two children and successfully combines family values with professional responsibilities. Currently, Medina works as a Russian language teacher at the Akzhar-Sizimi kindergarten, where she lays the foundations of knowledge for her young students.
For her, working with children is not just a profession, but an important mission and an investment in the future. In her classes, she strives to find an individual approach to each child, focusing on the development of speech, thinking, and worldview. Medina believes that a child is a personality that needs to be heard, and a teacher is someone who guides and supports.
“There is an opinion that children absorb information worse, but I believe this is often related to underdevelopment of fine motor skills. Additionally, the influence of phones plays a significant role. Many parents, to finish their tasks, simply give their children gadgets without paying them proper attention. However, a phone cannot replace live communication, play, and the exchange of emotions,” she says.
Medina emphasizes that it is important to play more with children, engaging them in developmental games, and to communicate with them as adults, showing respect. Speech with a child should be clear and correct, and explanations should be accessible. She expresses concern about the increasing cases of developmental disorders, such as autism, and notes the importance of early prevention and attentive consideration of primary signs.
When communicating with children, one should avoid positioning oneself from above and speaking from a distance. It is important to sit at the child's level, look them in the eyes, and communicate face to face, which helps to foster a sense of self-worth in the child.
Young children are capable of absorbing information even faster than adults. They do not just listen; they soak everything up like a sponge. Therefore, providing accurate, correct, and understandable answers to their questions is a great responsibility for parents. The more time they spend playing and communicating with their children, the more trust and full development can be achieved.”
