20 Minutes Quality for Kids

Parents can provide a minimum of 20 minutes of quality to communicate with the child. Provision of quality time is a basic requirement to translate the principle of parents of early childhood education in the family. "In the context of education in the family, parents should have the skills to be able to translate the principles of child education, particularly early age," said Ivan in Bandar Lampung, on Tuesday ( 05/24/2011).

"However, because of time constraints, parents must provide a minimum of 20 minutes that can amaze the children for parenting principles can be implemented," he continued.

Ivan explains, the quality time shared between parents and children are not only determined by lot or little time nurturing by parents for their children. Quality time is very much determined by the high intensity of communication between parent and child.

"The more quality time, emotional closeness between parents and children will be awake. Proximity will allow parents to transfer the values ​​to their children and this provides a great opportunity to establish good character and hone many kinds of intelligence," he said.

At this time, continued Ivan, did not rule out the possibility that parenting a child is not fully carried out his parents with a variety of reasons, such as hindered the work to feed the family. Consequently, the care of a child should be left to adults other than parents, for example, grandmother, sister, or a nanny.

"However, the above barriers is not an excuse for parents not to make quality care for their children. In a span of time which is frail, parents must remain mengkreasi quality time for his son," he advised.

This can happen because of the inability of parents to communicate or lack of parental understanding of the needs of children in accordance with the age growth. On the other hand, the needs of the child to the care and intensive care from his parents can not be postponed.

"Because a child's early environment mainly confined to the home, which means very dependent on adults nearby, namely his parents, then the relationship between children and parents have an important role in determining the pattern of development of psychological, social, and emotional in the future," said Ivan .

Ivan added, many methods that can be used to mengkreasi time meeting the quality of care between parents and children. The method can be used are simple games, storytelling, praise, awards, memorizing the values, causal games, word games that require a longer thoughts, and dialogue or discussion, and can be applied to children by looking at levels of age development.

"However, for early childhood, of all the above methods, the method of telling or storytelling is the most appropriate method. For infants or children do not have a reference about many things and can not fantasize because of the limitations of their cognitive and language," he said.

For that, he added, parents should provide stimulus to enhance the ability of the child. Parents need to describe in detail about everything she told
