You’ve Got Early Childhood All Wrong | Haneefah Shuaibe-Peters | TEDxUnionCity

[@hmsoumis]

This was excellent. I run my childcare center like this. The first thing I tell parents is, I don't teach them how to read, or memorize numbers/letters /shapes etc. I teach them how to learn. I give them the opportunity to make friends, be confident, ask questions, compromise with one another. To take care of others and basically how to be people. It works much, much better. Thank you for sharing.

[@tanyaware3865]

Thank you! I'm a former ECE teacher and I agree with your statement. I used to always say, "Parents are the first teacher"

[@spinosaurus6848]

This is exactly what I have been teaching my age group children. The parents feel my programs making the children more happier and learn more every time they come.

[@rashawncarter-kamau5589]

Wow! I’m so glad someone understands this. I own a preschool program in my home. I have my BA in ECE and I’m so sick of people believing a successful preschooler needs to know phonics before entering Kindergarten. I always tell parents that their are very smart people in prison. Children need to learn social skills and healthy self awareness before they can be taught all the phonic sounds. It makes our jobs as teachers very challenging.

[@nicholinamendoza1402]

I so agree with her that Preschool is more about all the different types of play so the children can learn communication skills, social skills, motor skills, and themselves. They can barely tie their shoes or go to the bathroom at Preschool age, yet in Preschool we are forcing them to learn all these academic skills they really aren't ready for yet. We need to let them play still and be kids before they lose this when they go to Kindergarten. I think she is awesome in what she is telling us. I just wish that her video went a bit longer to hear more of her knowledge in what Preschool should be.

[@cathryncollins3852]

Love love love love!!! As a fellow Preschool Teacher myself, I agree 100%! I tell my parents before the first day of class that if the children feel safe, loved, and connected then the learning will happen naturally and this is created when you view conflict as a teachable moment. Thank you for sharing and I wish you well.

[@lyannaperez9375]

This is the most important TED talk I've ever heard

[@jahbloomie]

Interpersonal skills coupled with healthy parenting could make a huge difference in mental health.

[@Emmacita423]

She was my professor at state! awesome lady

[@camilleespy7395]

I loved this, and then I read in the description that she is a Bay Area native like me! and went to the same school as me? I agree with everything she said, except the part about people with higher education being more likely to send their kids to preschool. People are working in grocery stores and hotels, and they need affordable, quality childcare. But that could be a different discussion. I hope I can meet her one day

[@ReadByBri]

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS

[@misspst9585]

She is a very engaging speaker. Very talented, with a warm personality. Absolute pleasure to listen to, and I really feel like she got her points accross effectively. Bravo.

[@laurenbarber8579]

An incredible Ted talk! And what an intelligent beautiful woman!

[@maryswisher3358]

This is how I teach too! Hi tell the parents of the children joining my class each year that my responsibility is to help them become successful citizens. If they can’t enter play or have conflict resolution or have empathy how do we expect them to be successful in life? I also teach them self help skills and give them opportunity to fill proud of themselves for accomplishing the tasks for every day living in every day life. I tell the parents that the letters and numbers and all of that will come in time but it’s important to have social emotional skills first!

[@luis.fe91]

Thank you so much! Excellent speech. I appreciate the firm tone and articulate messages. I particularly liked the emphasis on raising children to make the world better by being culturally aware and have good social skills.

[@MsShannaK]

Beautiful video on so many levels oh my god. Relit my passion to care for the future. It never completely went out but I almost sold my soul to corporate America. Phew that was a close one. Kids and their well being are way more important to me than packets.

[@allimperfect]

I've been a preschool teacher for the past 16 years and couldn't agree more with what Haneefah says! Wonderful TED talk. :)

[@nickandchrismom]

Engaging Ted Talk and I love the perspective!

[@marciepdasalla2219]

Love you Haneefah!!! You hit it💜 I will graduate with my AS in Early Childhood and I am going to suggest this video to my mentor as a MUST SEE😍 You are very engaging and inspiring🤓 God Bless and thank you for being a part of this community🙏🏽

[@learningstuffwithriverrizk4552]

growing up i thought that school was merely a social world divided between the joyful frolicking with friends and being harried by bullies. learning was something i did largely on my own. i feel as if my son does a lot of his learning on his own as well, on line media really facilitates self-learning. and pre-school is most assuredly better seen as a place for social skill development than "learning"

[@robbiedaily7962]

Therefore it is in early childhood that a firm foundation must be laid. While the branch is green and tender it can easily be made straight. ‘Abdu’l-Bahá,

[@jaortega4279]

Excellent❣️ Bravo❣️ 🙌🏼 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

Yes yes yes!!!! Know if we can only get these centers to understand this. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

This is deep, thank you 😊 I

[@royalefernando3606]

she's mad pretty

[@Mysassafrasroots]

I agree with everything she said!! Spot on and more now than ever!!!

[@kelseyhynes2121]

Incredible speech. Sad when it came to an end... I wanted to hear more! Thank you!

[@teachersparker]

Same! This is sooooo everything I want to hear!

[@MsCruz-ox9tl]

Seems like it will come once her doctoral dissertation is complete. I have a feeling this will not be her last talk.

[@kappalearninggroup8917]

Omg me too lol!! We needed more this was refreshing. She has eloquently spoken what alot of us this think and feel-- for years (I have anyways).

[@manvirrattol2594]

This video is very great. The speaker is very energetic. I agree with you that we have to be morally and socially conscious to maintain our professionalism at work place.

[@sherlynpatterson2702]

Wow, very impacting speech, thanks so much.

[@kota_gold9]

this is f**king beautiful...

[@corogami]

This was so inspirational! I'm really excited to start ECE this fall :D

[@nickandchrismom]

Update? How's the ECE experience going?

[@eryndacetrudell3117]

Awesome!

[@HARLAB12]

Great job personality development

[@kappalearninggroup8917]

This is excellent!! I preach this message all the time. My program, Learning Through Playdates Virtual Program is based upon sociological perspectives of learning embodying the social interaction of learning AND on a global level. This was so good!

[@brainbuilderspreschool5179]

I agree and disagree I believe both can be taught in a preschool environment!

[@teachersparker]

Hi there! May I ask what you disagree with? :) Just curious to get a different perspective! I can understand... some kids may show interest in these skills, and if you can make it happen in your environment, then it should be attempted. I know that when I set up these certain academic activities in my class, the kids know its for me and the parents and will walk away from it. I do have one student showing interest in numbers and letters though, so I would like to support that area for them!

[@BREA.M]

I agree with you, both CAN be taught in preschool, but which one is more important? How often did you see miscommunications and disagreements between high school students, or even adults go terribly wrong? All ideology aside, if we know ourselves and develop how we interact with others, everything else falls into place.

[@MsShannaK]

A very special one

[@brainbuilderspreschool5179]

@@teachersparker hello yes I disagree with that part that says the education part isn’t important in early education I hundred percent agree with emotions and a child finding themselves!

[@brainbuilderspreschool5179]

@@BREA.M it’s not about which one is import and you have time to do both they bother are extremely important!

it's so good to see you this is Nicole from ccc college or balboa center in Richmond CA it good to her your voice on children Happy New Year🤣

[@pumpkinbread4948]

Preschool 😂 she speaks the truth in preschool I slept over by the lights , I played with the water at the sink, I messed with paint , and I played with my friends! But what did I learn? NOTHING. My mom had to teach me . I learned how to read and write at the age of 3 because of my mom.

29/05/2023 You’ve Got Early Childhood All Wrong | Haneefah Shuaibe-Peters Jadi dalam video ini si speaker adalah guru tk gitu dan udah ngajar selama beberapa tahun, kemudian dia bilang katanya tk itu salah ngajarin gitu atau terlalu cepat dah, jadi dia cerita tentang pengalaman orang tua si anak yang sengaja sekolahin di tk supaya bisa ditinggal gitu dan kemudian baru kemudian bisa kerja nyari duit, terus orang orang mikirnya tk itu bagus karena bisa ngajarin banyak hal kepada anaknya tetapi ternyata menurut si speaker itu ga malah di tk kayak ga belajar tentang itu jadinya berantem. Jadi seharusnya sebagai orang tua kita ngajarin anak kita dulu bagaimana sosial bekerja, moral,empati, dll dan juga bisa mengajari anaknya menjadi seorang leader yaitu yang melakukan progress setiap hariya dan terakhir, If you want to know how you contribute to society, reflect on your childhood. sekian

[@pandamonum]

This is scary. I wouldn't want this type of ideology anywhere near any early education childhood center.

[@demoudrame8539]

What do you mean by that

[@SADrina666]

Then you work at a daycare. Toxicity
