Building Character From Early Childhood Education

Dude, if I was asked when's the right time to determine a person's success and achievements? So, the answer is still currently an early age. Really? Alright I'll share a fact that has been widely studied by researchers world.

At the early age of 0-6 years, the brain develops very rapidly up to 80 percent. At that age the brain to receive and absorb various kinds of information, does not look good and the bad. It was a time-period in which the physical, mental and spiritual child will begin to form. Because of this, many are calling this period as a golden boy periods (golden age).

A study conducted by an expert in child development and behavior of Americans named Brazelton says that the experience of the child in the first months and years of life will determine whether the child will be able to face the challenges in life and whether she will demonstrate a passion to learn and succeed in the workplace.

Now, therefore, we as parents should take advantage of a golden period to give children a good education for the children of character. So that children can achieve success in life and success in the future. We as parents sometimes are not aware, our attitude to children it will drop the child. For example, with a hit, giving pressure which ultimately makes the child a negative attitude, low self-esteem or self-conscious, timid and afraid to take risks, which in the end these characters will be brought up to an adult. When such a mature character would become an obstacle for him to achieve and fulfill his desire. For example, there could be a public speaker because he was embarrassed or ashamed. Not willing to take certain chances because he did not want to take the risk and fear of failure. In fact, if he is to be positive, the risk can be modified as a challenge to achieve success. You agree not you?

Many say our success is determined by how genius brain. The more we are, the more successful genius. The more we won the class championship title in a row, then the more successful we are. Is this true? Wait wait!

I myself do not agree with these assumptions. Facts prove, many successful people just do not get brilliant achievement in school, they do not get a champion or a top position at the school. Why is that? Because the truth is success is not only determined by our intelligence alone. But success is more determined by the dominant emotional skills to bring up our relationship with ourselves, others and the environment. Moreover, that should not be left out is our spiritual relationship with God Almighty.

Did you know that the skills to build relationships with the three pillars (self, social, and God) is a character-character owned by successful people. And, let me tell you that the character is not entirely inborn. Such characters can be formed. Wow, really? I say Yes! And when the child was aged early-formed characters that. As we discussed earlier, that early childhood is a period character development of physical, mental and spiritual child begins to form. At this early age, the character will be formed from the children learn and absorb from our behavior as parents and from the surrounding environment. At this age mental developments take place very quickly. At that age the child also becomes very sensitive and insensitive to learn and practice something he sees, feels and listens from the environment. Therefore, a positive environment will shape the character of positive and successful.

Many say our success is determined by how genius brain. The more we are, the more successful genius. The more we won the class championship title in a row, then the more successful we are. Is this true? Wait wait!

I myself do not agree with these assumptions. Facts prove, many successful people just do not get brilliant achievement in school, they do not get a champion or a top position at the school. Why is that? Because the truth is success is not only determined by our intelligence alone. But success is more determined by the dominant emotional skills to bring up our relationship with ourselves, others and the environment.

Countries with the best education system

Education is one of the most important components that determine the fate of a nation. Facts prove that the developed countries must have a good education system. So even with the countries that used to be in good condition, began to rise in rank to gradually reorganize their educational systems. For the country, education is an investment because in the end the people who run the government will come from the education system they created. So no wonder that some countries are so serious in determining the country's education system.

And, if so, which countries excel in the education system? The following summarizes "5 Countries with the Best Education in the World" ( version Mizan.com).

Finland. The education system in the country located at the tip of the European continent is very unique.

China. Some areas in China have a quality higher education. The area is particularly Shanghai and Hong Kong, which has a high ranking in the PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment), a program to study the performance of children aged 15 years were carried out by the OECD, an organization that houses the development of the world economy.

Canada. North American country is known to have high standards and quality education. There are many reasons for that. Among other things, Canada issued a large budget, every year, to fund education. The state also requires each county in the country to take responsibility for their own educational system.

Learning Knows No Age

Have you ever heard of a grandmother learning with elementary school children? of course not, right? Maybe that is what underlies a grandmother named Miu Xiuxian in China 102 years old as a student studying in the world's oldest primary school. Not all people have the motivation and desire to learn should be a child.
That's part of my story that learning does not have to know the age. Learning it is the essence of life, past orders not know, could be anything, anyone, and anywhere. We can live as we learn, not only at school or college, after graduate even though continue to learn, to grow up, tolerance, understanding self and others, compassion and love, interpret and achieve a happy life. It is not a requirement to learn at a young age, but also it is the need of all time. We need to learn, and we must learn from the cradle to death before. This life is to learn and continue learning throughout life. Not everyone can get an education, because of cost limitations and the lack of public interest for learning in formal education. If we glance at how little the government announced a 9-year compulsory education. Awareness of the public to learn about, for example, can be seen from the surrounding environment. We all know that learning is the process of changing an individual's behavior for the better of course. So, we have to be aware from an early age that education was necessary in accordance with the understanding of learning itself. Hopefully our dreams can come true that all people can get an education from an early age.
