This was shared by educator Kenjegul Toyunbaeva from the At-Bashinsky district of the Naryn region in an interview with a Turmush correspondent. She works as a caregiver at the "Ak-Zhar Sezim" kindergarten in the village of Ak-Zhar.
Toyunbaeva shared the main principles she considers important in upbringing:
- Emotional support. Children should feel their worth and love. The care of parents and educators forms the foundation for their psychological health and confidence.
- Role modeling. A child learns not through words, but through actions. Adults should demonstrate ethical norms and rules of behavior through their own actions.
- Setting boundaries. Rules and limitations help children develop responsibility and decision-making skills. It is important to explain them logically, without the use of physical force.
- Diversity in development. It is important to support children's interests not only in academics but also in music, sports, art, and science, to help them unlock their creative potential.
- Emotional literacy. Adults should teach children to understand and adequately express their feelings.
- Encouraging independence. Small tasks and responsibilities develop a child's self-control and independence in thinking.
- Social skills. Communication, friendship, and empathy skills contribute to a child's successful adaptation in society.
- Healthy lifestyle. Proper nutrition, physical activity, sleep routines, and personal hygiene directly affect a child's overall development.
Kenjegul Toyunbaeva believes that psychological comfort and the awareness of one's importance play a key role in character formation:
- Confidence: Children who feel protection and love cope with difficulties more easily and strive for their goals, which strengthens their self-esteem.
- Social skills: Valued children learn to respect others, which fosters healthy relationships with peers.
- Emotional resilience: Children surrounded by love more easily overcome stress and fears, becoming more psychologically stable.
Recommendations: frequently tell your child phrases like "I believe in you" and "I am proud of you," spend time together, listen to them, and respect their opinions.
