Educate Children Smarter (For 2 years Old)

Many studies reveal that the first year of child development is also called the golden stage or Golden Age that takes place in the first 1000 days of the baby's life. And in this time frame is the main time or prime time for the learning phase of the child. But as the development of children there may be some ha that make parents difficult to stimulate child development. Here are some tips to help parents teach children in this golden age to be more intelligent.

1. Introduce with music

According to research, revealed that music helps the development of children become more intelligent. The average child who studies music has a more prominent achievement than children who do not know music at all. Even music is also very useful when the child is still in the womb, as one way to make a smart child since the womb. And from the study also revealed that within 6 months only when a child learning the music of cognitive abilities experienced significant improvement.

2. Provide adequate nutrition

Nutrition is very important for the development of children, especially in the golden age of growth. Adequacy of nutrients and nutrients that enter the child's body will help support the development of children as a whole. A healthy child will certainly be smarter when compared to a malnourished child or suffering from malnutrition. Breast milk is one of them, because it contains the complete nutrition that children need during their development for at least the first two years.

At the age of 2 years, the child's brain needs the right balance of nutritional intake such as glucose, iron, vitamin A, vitamin B, zinc, and folic acid. Children who eat breakfast regularly have better memory and focus. One of the good breakfast foods is cereal and oatmeal made from wheat.

3. Include in every activity

Educating 2-year-old child is certainly a little different from how to educate children aged 1 year, in addition to child's growing age is much different. At the age of 2 years, the child can be invited and involved in doing family activities together. If when the 1-year-old maaih is still dangerous because the child may still learn the way, certainly different from the 2-year-old child who may have been able to run. This age invites children to engage in every activity of the house such as putting his drink bottle on the table, watering flowers, tidying his own toys and all the fun things at home. When inviting children involved, note that there are no dangerous objects nearby.

4. Adequate playing time

Children instinctively love to play, anything can be a media play for children. Do not forbid or try to stop the wishes of this one child. It would be better if the parents provide a place for him to play and also beraktifitas freely. Play can also make children become more intelligent, so choose educational gear. For example, puzzles, beams, balls, drawing paper and toys that can pull out music like toy pianos. Do not forget to always watch and keep the child as he plays. Because the child could have fallen or hit his maianan when he was busy playing.

5. Invite to read

Although not yet able to read, but invites children at the age of 2 years to start to know the book and reading will provide good stimulation for brain development. Do not just read a story or story to a child but invite him to read. According to research, invites children to read colorful fairy tale books, able to stimulate the ability to read early on. Because when reading a child's fairy tale not only see the visual of the book but also hear the words spoken by the mother or father who would be recorded in the child's brain memory.

6. Speak up

By inviting children at the age of 2 years to chat, indirectly parents will teach him various kinds of vocabulary. So the child will love to talk and also imitate speech. It will also improve the intelligence of the child and as a way to educate the child to be confident in speaking well.

7. Teach with good habits

The name of good habits must be built by getting children to do good things. For example throw samoah in place, pray, and should not say rude and also shout. Also teach children also simple activities such as pee in the toilet, eating with a spoon, wearing pants or clothes themselves. It is very good as one way to educate 2-year-olds to be disciplined and responsible.

8. Teach sleep on time

Sleep has an important role in helping the child's growth become more optimal. Indeed, many things that can be a cause of difficulty sleeping the night that can reduce the quality of child's sleep. But by teaching children to sleep on time it can be slightly reduced. At least the child's sleep time in these times until the age of 5 years should be no less than 11 hours or more than 13 hours in a day.

9. Limit time to watch tv

Television is now very developed with the number of programs offered. As a parent should be wise in giving television spectacle to the child, because this is a bit more able to give effect to the development of children. Give the right time to watch television, because children aged 2 years can already addicted to watching tv and this is not good for the attitude and behavior of the next child. Moreover, watching tv for two-year-olds does not have any meaningful benefits.

Indeed educate the child can not be equally - leveled out at all ages, because each child has his ability - each. So even with the intelligence of children, although it can be sharpened to be more intelligent but that does not mean parents can impose on the child. At this stage of age two, children are still in the exploration stage. So the way to educate it should be more inviting play and fun activities so that children do not experience pressure or stress.

15 Ways to Educate a True 2-Year-Old Child

Educating 2-year-olds is not easy, especially if your child is too critical or just too quiet and passive. Educating 2-year-olds is also quite difficult where the child can not yet be understood, but their visual reasoning is working well.

This fact that makes many parents, especially new parents to be confused how to take care of their children who turn 2 years of age. It is not easy and trivial to educate 2-year-olds, where they should model good things to be imitated by 2-year-olds, because they still use the viewing and reasoning system so bad or good will be absorbed and followed. Even if not stopped they will grow into the wrong person. Here are 15 tips for educating 2 year olds, anything?

1. Firmly

Being firm is the first thing you should do. Firm does not mean fierce, because basically, firmly is something that can make it easier for someone to be able to analyze our principles ourselves. For children aged 2 years they will be confused if a rule change. Today you forbid, then they cry and you allow it. With such inconsequential events the children will belittle you as parents. If you have applied a strict Sika from an early age, the child's brain sensor will easily absorb the attitude and will instinctively act on the firmness you apply to your child.

2. Show Love

Compassion is the most expensive and can not be exchanged. As you know that a 2-year-old child still needs a thing whose name is affection with a very high level or percentage not just a mere one. With these facts love can be one of the best educating ways for children.

3. Invite to Play

Inviting play is certainly the most appropriate way to educate children aged 2 years. Playing is indeed their world and not learning, but you can embed lessons into all their games to make it easier to remember. Taking 2-year-olds also adds to the closeness of mothers and children or children with other family members. Playing and outside activities is very helpful to improve the sensory and motor nerves of the child.

4. Speak Up

Speaking may sound trivial, but do you know that taking a 2-year-old child to talk can then train them to communicate, what they are like and how they communicate. Whether good or not, polite or not and anything else. Speaking can also help them to speak fluently and not lisp or stammer.

5. Show Good Things

Showing good things certainly not only in 2-year-olds who can learn, but to all children and even adults. Especially if you can show the immediate effect or "gift" that they will receive by doing good. Teaching children good things from an early age is considered very good because the ability to absorb children when he was 2 years very good and easy to practice by the child.

However, it does not mean you as a parent can give the lure and give a gift for them to do good. That's not the right thing, because many parents do that and make the kids never do something sincerely or expecting a pamrih. If you continue to be rewarded, your children will continue to do good things just because they will get rewards, and that is not good for the child's psychic development.

6. Recommend Good Habits

Introduce good habits not merely about helping to cross the parents and so on. 2 year old child does not know yet. To introduce good habits from the smallest such as taking your own drink, eating your own food, eating with your right hand, answering children's questions carefully or answering questions in good language.

7. Show Bad Things

Showing bad things for a 2-year-old child? what could possibly be. Should not show good things? no, to train their reasoning you can show bad things and show what things are forbidden. If necessary you show how the effects or impacts are received if doing the worst. In addition, showing bad things will help them analyze what is actually prohibited or what is allowed.

8. Teach Punishment

Teaching punishment helps you become a smart and assertive parent. What if they cry? the humane thing a 2 year old boy is punished and weeping. But with the punishment then you have taught that the life of 2-year-old child-had already had a rule or a good restriction or not. But the punishment must be adjusted and not too heavy. For example, when your child picks up his friend's toys then you should punish him by giving your child a toy to a friend who picked up his toys. Will a 2 year old child be crying? it is clear, but with that little thing you remove the nature or personality of your child's greed.

9. Stop Crying With Other Ways

Stop the crying not merely with praise and reward or lure. But to stop the crying is not also angry or beat them. Stopping a cry can be included in how to educate a child, at the age of 2 years the child should be taught to reduce the whimper by crying. Train them to talk about what is being asked not by crying.

10. Give the Rules

Providing rules helps them with a better life. 2-year-olds still need freedom of expression, they are growing up. However, that does not mean the rules are lost and specified. For example the child wants a cake 2 then the cake is gone, then he should not take his sister's cake or his sister. Because he already ate his cake. This is called a rule that can be applied to a 2-year-old child.

11. Let Them Contend

2 year olds are still 100% old? not necessarily, too. A 2-year-old child is able to present the desires and things most needed for himself. So let them think and express their desires and intentions. That way you can examine the extent to which your child has developed or not. Let them dare to express their wishes and opinions correctly since the age of 2 years. Because by arguing, the child will be able to understand what is meant by cause and effect.

12. Do not Limit Interest and Talent

Do not limit the interest and talent of 2-year-olds. For 2-year-olds are usually new to many things and recognize new objects that previously may never be known or never seen. So do not limit their interests and talents, some children sometimes have seen interest and talent since the age of 2 years.

For example, the child is happy with the color puzzle or may have been happy to play beams of interest then and talent can be seen from the game or their activities even if only vague. Because 2-year-olds are still familiar with a variety of things not including can be categorized as having liked a particular interest or talent.

13. Do not Snap

Snapping is the most prohibited thing in educating children especially those who are still 2 years old. Barking will only add to their fear, where snapping just shows the wrong thing in children aged 2 years. They will imitate you to yell at others to be heard, so you can grow the nature and personality of tempramen to the child who is still 2 years old. Snapping also can only grow a child into a thug and try to arrange other people including his friends.

14. Do not Use Hands

Using the hands is the most forbidden before snapping or after snapping. Using a hand will only cause a 2-year-old child to be terrified and traumatic. Especially if using hands to educate them minded that other people do cruel things and they should not be wrong, so the child will never want to try or want to do things at risk. It is clear the child will not develop well. If there is a use of the hand should be reminded, especially if the do is your spouse who together became parents with you.

15. Spend More Time

2-year-olds need high attention, great curiosity but not being able to take care of themselves cause you as a parent should be able to spend better time. Not only that, taking the time can help you provide better quality of education and more targeted. If you want to help a 2-year-old learn to speak well, then you should spend time better to keep talking and train your child to talk.

 Education affects the learning process, according to Mantra (2003), the higher a person's education the easier the person will receive the information. With higher education then someone will tend to get information either from other people or from mass media. The more information that comes in the more knowledge acquired, also includes knowledge about health.

Indonesia must tackle conflicts between schools and communities

Indonesia’s new Culture and Elementary and Secondary Education Minister Anies Baswedan has a huge task ahead of him.

Australia was alarmed when its students ranked 19th in the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development’s (OECD) Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) tests in 2012. But Southeast Asia’s largest economy performed much worse. Its students scored the second-lowest out of 65 countries. Vietnamese students scored better than Indonesians (and Australians), ranking 17th on the chart.

The Indonesian government has made efforts to improve the quality of education. It has mandated 20% of the national budget for education. There are plans to improve the learning process and to enhance the quality of teachers.

But there is one big problem that has often been overlooked.

Students caught in the crossfire

In many places in Indonesia, there is a long-standing conflict between communities and the schools that provide education for their children.

Trapped in the middle of the conflict are the students whose studies are often disrupted as a consequence.

Research in Bulukumba regency, in South Sulawesi and Sekadau, and Bengkayang regency, in West Kalimantan, revealed that one in three schools visited is in conflict with communities for several reasons.

First, schools often lack proper land documentation. Second, communities are “free-riding”, using school properties without proper care. Third, schools face vandalism or theft.

These challenges exist not only in these two provinces, but across Indonesia, wherever increased urbanisation is converting villages to cities or creating new jurisdictions as a consequence of decentralisation.

Conflict over land

Schools in rural areas often start with members of the community granting or selling a piece of land without proper documentation. As time goes by, these schools expand. Yet the land certification had never been completed until another party brings this issue to the front.

For example, the school bought the land a long time ago when the price of land was still low but did not immediately process proper land titles. As the price of land dramatically increased with the process of urbanisation, the next of kin of the former land owners became tempted to claim the land and demand a large amount of money.

Problems of schools that lack proper land documentation are widespread in Indonesia. In Mamuju regency in West Sulawesi, nearly all elementary schools - about 90% - do not own land titles. In Bulukumba regency, 70% of schools have the same problem. Half of the elementary schools in Lebak regency in Banten province also don’t own land titles.

Many schools have been ignoring this problem. Principals and teachers are too busy with teaching duties to resolve this. In extreme cases, the community seals the schools, barring entry to students and teachers.

In Sumenep regency in East Java, students had to temporarily use people’s home terraces before moving to a classroom of an Islamic school and then to a seaweed warehouse. In Bulukumba, students had to use the basement of people’s homes.

Problems in land documentation reflect school’s ignorance of the legal status of their land. Also, school officials often do not know how to handle land documentation problems, not to mention lacking the funds to acquire land. This is not only the case in rural areas or outside Java but also in urban areas and in Java.

The free-riders problem

Another type of conflict happens when communities use school grounds for non-school activities such as grazing areas for their cattle or goats after school time. This makes the school dirty and creates unsanitary conditions for students. It may cause health problems and prevent students' full participation in the education system.

Villagers also often use school grounds to store community tools and equipment. In one fishing village we visited, the fishermen put their net in the schoolyard as it was close to the sea.

Communities also use school grounds for recreational activities. Anybody can enter the school area to play football and, in the process, destroy plants or break classroom windows.

This issue affirms the fact that schools have been viewed as common goods and community members act like free riders. Anybody in the neighbourhood is free to take advantage of the school yard. Schools are regularly used by trespassers for individual benefits.

Vandalism and theft

The third conflict is caused by vandalism and theft of school property. Schools in both rural and urban areas face this issue.

In some cases, young delinquents loiter, get drunk and spray graffiti on school grounds. These activities are often combined with criminal action where school assets are stolen. School officials feel it is unsafe to keep various learning resources and materials at school.

While problems of land documentation have been reported in local media, the problems of free riders and vandalism are often unreported. Unless we visit the schools, we would not know they face these challenges. Schools seem to be helpless in defending themselves in these conflicts with the community.

Possible solutions

How should this be solved? For one thing, the new minister and regional governments should be aware of this long-standing problem.

The government should provide training for school principals to help them learn “soft” skills to engage with the community and revitalise school committees. School principals need to understand the culture of the local community and be open to working with them. Appointing principals who are part of the community might help ease the problems.

The school committee has an important role as a mediator between the school and the community. But often it is seen as a money-collecting institution for the school.

Many school committees have been inactive and lack the capacity to intervene. Conflicts with the community should be a spur to revitalise the school committee.

In terms of land issues, the local government should start documenting schools that presently lack land titles. Each school should keep its own land documentation.

The local government should also set aside budget funds to acquire problematic pieces of land. To solve this problem, government agencies, for example the Education Agency and the Land Agency, need to work together.

In terms of free riding, vandalism and theft, it is important to note that many schools still have no clear physical boundaries. Schools need financial assistance to build proper fences or hire security guards to protect grounds after school hours.

It is crucial for the government to enact measures that will improve learning processes and teaching capacity. But these measures can only be effective when schools are free from conflict with their communities.

The PISA results show that Indonesian students face serious challenges in their schooling. We should, at the very least, make sure they can study in peace.

Indonesia Education System Fails Students . . .?

Indonesian students need to revolutionize their learning approach to compete as multinational companies battle it out to lure the top talent from emerging markets, experts contend.

In 2008, the German chemicals giant Henkel created an international business game called the Henkel Innovation Challenge. The task for participants in this year’s competition was to develop a concept for an innovative and sustainability-related product according to the vision and market needs in 2050.

Eighteen student teams, each consisting of two students, from all over the world were summoned to develop innovative ideas for one of the company’s business areas: home care products, beauty care products and adhesive technologies.

This year marks the second time that teams from Indonesia are participating in the competition. Last year, a team from the University of Indonesia won third prize during the HIC 5 Southeast Asia National Finals. The students, Rena Carissa and Wiwin Wijaya, came up with an idea for a dry-cleaning shampoo, suitable for all hair types, that would dry upon usage, without the need to rinse with water.

This year, however, no Indonesian teams managed to replicate the success.

“In selecting the teams for the Southeast Asia Finals, we use strict evaluation criteria which include uniqueness of the idea, customer orientation and clarity and logic of the idea concept,” Allan Yong, the president of Henkel Indonesia, told the Jakarta Globe in a written statement.

“[The Indonesian] team submitted a very good concept, but we later found that the idea was not original. After much deliberation, we decided not to send a team from Indonesia.”

Utomo Dananjaya, an education expert at Paramadina University in Jakarta, said the problem lay with the country’s education system for failing to properly nurture its students’ creativity.

“Our education system heavily relies on memorizing texts. It doesn’t let the students’ ideas flow, and it dampens their creativity,” he said.

Memorization as a learning method is outdated and should be replaced with an approach that fosters the students’ creativity, he argued.

The Indonesian education system, Utomo went on, relies on one-way teaching with no interaction. It cultivates the students to be obedient, to regurgitate what the teachers say and does not allow them to think outside the box, he said.

“How can a student breed an original idea if, in order to excel in university, what they do in class is to memorize?” he said.

To prepare talented Indonesian youths to compete in the global market, what the nation needs is an education reform that strongly emphasizes reasoning and allows the students to think critically, and not simply to memorize.

“Then they are ready for work in a global environment,” Utomo said.

Sumarjono Suwito, the chairman of the Indonesian International Education Consultants Association, said corruption was also hampering developments in the national education sector.

The government has allocated Rp 286.85 trillion ($30.4 billion) for education this year, or 20 percent of the state budget, but no major changes have been made.

“The problem with education in Indonesia is that we don’t know where this money is going,” Sumarjono said.

He also stressed that the level of innovation in Indonesia was still low. He said it was regrettable that the government had overlooked the importance of the research and development sector.

“Look at how many of our bright minds have migrated overseas because they’re not supported in their own country,” Sumarjono said.

He added that to succeed economically, Indonesia should place greater emphasis on research and development.

Role of Education in Development

Education has the task to transform and prepare the human resources development. Pace of development is always sought in tune with the demands of the times. Development of the age always raises new issues that have never thought about before. This chapter will examine the main problems of education, and the interplay between the principal serve targeted, the factors influencing the development and actual problems and ways to overcome it.

What happens if the development in Indonesia is not accompanied by the development in education?. Although his physical development is good, but what’s the point when the nation’s moral decline. If this happens, the economy would be problematic, because each person will be corruption. So sooner or later will come the day when the state and the nation is destroyed. Therefore, for prevention, education must be one of the priorities in the development of the country.

Government Education Problems and Solutions

Regarding the problem of education, the attention of our government still feels very minimal. The picture is reflected in the diversity of an increasingly complex educational problems. The quality of students is still low, less professional instructors, cost of education is expensive, even chaotic rule of the Education Act. The impact of poor education, the future of our country getting worse. This downturn may also result from an average size of budget allocations for education both at the national, provincial, and city and county.

Solving the problems of education should not be done separately, but must be taken measures or actions that are comprehensive. That is, we not only pay attention to the increase in expenditure. Because it’s useless, if the quality of human resources and quality of education in Indonesia is still low. Problems organizing Nine-year Compulsory Education is actually still a big homework for us. The fact that we can see that many in the periphery areas that do not have adequate educational facilities. With the abandonment of the nine-year compulsory education program resulted in Indonesia’s children are still many who drop out of school before completing their nine-year compulsory education. Under these conditions, when no significant change in policy, it is difficult for this nation out of the educational problems that exist, let alone survive in the competition in the global era.

Ideal conditions in the field of education in Indonesia is that every child can go to school at least until the high school level regardless of their status because that is their right. But it is very difficult to realize at this time. Therefore, at least everyone has the same opportunity to get an education. If you look at the above problems, there was an inequality between the rich and the poor. Seemed to belong only to the rich school just so that people who lack feel inferior to school and hang out with them. Plus publication of the school about scholarships is severely limited.

Free schools in Indonesia should have adequate facilities, competent faculty, appropriate curriculum, and has the administrative and bureaucratic system is good and straightforward. However, in reality, free schools are schools located in remote areas of slums and everything was not able to support the school bench which raised the question, “Is the school for free? If yes, yes fair because it is very worrying.Role of Education in Development
