This was discussed in an interview with a Turmush correspondent by Kenjegul Toyunbaeva, an educator from the At-Bashinsky district of the Naryn region. She works as a teacher at the "Ak-Zhar Sezimi" kindergarten in the village of Ak-Zhar.
Toyunbaeva shared key principles of upbringing:
- Love and support. It is vital for a child to feel loved and valued. The warm attitude of parents and educators is the foundation of psychological health and self-confidence.
- Personal example. Children imitate actions, not words. Adults should demonstrate ethical principles and rules of behavior through their own example.
- Discipline and boundaries. Reasonable rules are necessary for developing responsibility and decision-making skills. It is important that limitations are explained logically, without the use of force.
- Comprehensive development. In addition to studying, it is important to encourage activities in music, sports, art, and science, helping the child to unlock their unique creative potential.
- Emotional intelligence. Adults should teach children to understand their feelings and express emotions in a healthy way.
- Independence. Delegating small tasks and responsibilities teaches the child self-control and independent thinking.
- Social skills. The ability to communicate, make friends, and show empathy helps the child adapt successfully to society.
- Healthy lifestyle. Proper nutrition, sports, sleep routines, and hygiene directly affect physical and mental development.
According to Toyunbaeva, psychological comfort and a sense of self-worth directly influence character formation:
- Self-confidence: Feeling protected and loved, a child overcomes difficulties more easily and pursues their goals more boldly. Love strengthens inner self-esteem.
- Social development: A valued child learns to respect others. Such children build healthier relationships with peers.
- Emotional resilience: A loved child copes better with stress, overcomes fears and complexes, becoming psychologically stable.
Practical advice: say "I believe in you" and "I am proud of you" more often; spend time together, listen to the child attentively, and respect their opinions.
