Menginginkan Anak kita diatas rata-rata

dari artikel ini aku belajar banyak bahwa seorang anak-anak tetaplah anak-anak. yang masih ingin bermain, berhayal dan tidak perlu cepat-cepat mengajari anak membaca menulis jika belum waktunya. karena di kelas 3-4 nanti anak yang membaca menulis lebih cepat tidak lebih baik dengan anak-anak yang membaca menulis sesuai dengan waktunya... malah anak-anak yang membaca menulis lebih cepat akan kehilangan banyak waktu bermainnya karena mereka sibuk belajar...

ini jadi buat renungan para orang tua. dan guru-guru TK apa benar sekarang lulus TK harus bisa baca tulis???

Pertanyaan :

Dear Dr. Needlman
Anakku menginjak usia 3th tgl 25 january. Banyak orang berpikir anak saya sangat cerdas untuk seusianya. Saya pikir anak-anak generasi sekarang lebih cerdas disbanding generasi dulu. Saya sudah banyak mencari sumber informasi yang dapat menunjukkan bahwa apakah anak saya termasuk anak diatas rata-rata umurnya. Tolong beritahu dimana saya mendapat informasi dan apa ide anda tentang subject ini

Jawaban

Anda harus bangga dengan anak anda, itu sangat bagus. Saya tidak yakin kalo anak generasi sekarang secara keseluruhan lebih pinter dari anak-anak generasi dulu. Tapi mungkin mereka mengembangkan skill verbal mereka lebih dini dari umurnya. Yang jelas orang tua membayar lebih untuk perkembangan otak mereka dan mereka menghabiskan waktu dan uang mereka untuk diivestasikan pada mengajar anak mereka yang masih sangat muda, sehingga menghasilkan anak masih kecil tapi kemampuan verbal dan lain2nya berkembang lebih dini disbanding yang lain. Tapi hal itu akan menghasilkan intelektual jangka panjang yg sama, sehingga saya skeptic.

Lebih cepat belum tentu lebih baik. Saya sering berpikir pengalaman seorang ibu beberapa tahun yang lalu. Ketika mengajar di Univ Chicago Laboratory School. Dia dan beberapa guru lain ingin mengetahui apakah mereka dapat mengajar anak-anak membaca waktu masih di taman kanak-kanak. Mereka bekerja keras dengan murid-murid mereka yang masih TK itu. Dan banyak yang berhasil dapat membaca dengan baik sebelum tahun ajaran berakhir. Tapi, ketika anak-anak ini mencapai kelas 3 atau 4. Anak-anak yang sudah bisa membaca dari TK ini tidak lebih baik daripada anak-anak yang bisa membaca sesuai dengan kurikulum membacanya. Sebaliknya, anak-anak yang bisa membaca lebih dini telah kehilangan banyak waktu bermainnya selama di taman kanak-kanak karena mereka sibuk mengasah kemampuan membacanya…

Walaupun saya "developmental peditrician", saya agak mencurigai tes perkembangan untuk anak-anak. Jadi, meskipun situs kami tidak memiliki halaman yang berisi daftar tahap perkembangan khas, kita telah memilih untuk tidak menawarkan alat-alat yang dirancang untuk membantu orangtua menilai anak-anak mereka, khususnya yang dirancang untuk mengidentifikasi mana yang "lebih cepat perkembangannya." Dalam hal ini, kita mengikuti jejak Dr Benjamin Spock, yang tidak pernah punya daftar seperti itu di buku bayinya yang terkenal itu.

Saya pikir kadang-kadang jadwal perkembangan lebih banyak ruginya daripada kebaikannya. Meskipun kita semua orang tua ingin anak-anak kita harus cerdas (atau paling tidak "di atas rata-rata" seperti khayalan anak-anak di Danau Wobegon), ada harga yang harus dibayar untuk daya saing seperti: seorang anak yang hanya rata-rata adalah pasti akan merasa gagal, dan anak yang cerdas mungkin khawatir, jangan sampai ia terlepas dari posisinya yang sudah di atas. Belum lagi, tekanan kompetitif cenderung untuk menghalangi anak melewati tahapan perkembangannya, seperti anak belajar dan bertumbuh sesuai dengan perkembanganya masing-masing dengan banyak waktu untuk bermain, membuang-buang waktu, mencoba hal baru berhayal dan menjadi seorang anak.

QUESTION Dear Dr. Needlman,
My child turned three years old the 25th of January. Most people think that she is SO smart for her age. I think that children of this generation are smarter than those of previous ones. I have searched many places for a chart or some source of information to show me what she should be doing and what would be considered "above average." Please let me know where I can find such information and what your ideas are on this subject.

ANSWER
February 26, 2002 Dear CuriousMom,
You sound very proud of your child, and that's great. I'm not sure that children as a whole are smarter now than they were say a generation ago, but they may be developing verbal skills at an earlier age. For sure, all of the attention being paid to early brain development, and all of the time and money many parents invest in teaching their young children, does seem to result in young children who develop verbal and other skills early. But whether or not that translates into long-term intellectual gains remains to be seen. I'm skeptical.

Faster is not necessarily better. I often think of an experiment my mother carried out years ago, when she was a teacher at the University of Chicago Laboratory Schools. She and some other teachers wanted to know if they could teach children to read while they were still in kindergarten. They worked hard with the children, and many were reading well before the end of the year. However, by the time they were in third or fourth grade, these children weren't any better at reading than the children who learned on the regular schedule. On the other hand, the early readers had missed out on a lot of playtime during kindergarten because they were so busy doing reading drills.

Even though I am a developmental pediatrician, I'm a bit leery of developmental tests for young children. So, although our site does have a page which lists typical developmental milestones, we have chosen to stay away from offering any other tools designed to help parents grade their children, specifically those designed to identify which ones are "advanced." In this, we are following in the footsteps of Dr. Benjamin Spock, who never had such a table in his famous baby book.

I think developmental schedules sometimes do more harm than good. Even though all of us parents would like our children to be smart (or at least "above average" like the make-believe children in Lake Wobegon), there is a price to be paid for such competitiveness: a child who is just average is bound to feel like a failure, and a bright child may worry, lest he slip from his position at the top. Either way, the competitive pressures tend to get in the way of the child's true developmental task, which is to learn and grow at his or her own pace, with plenty of time to play, goof-off, try new things, day-dream, and generally, be a kid.

Disaster or Emergency Preparedness Plan for Women

karena kemarin ada gempa jadi takut nih.. trs dimilist ada link tentang barang-barang apa aja yang harus disiapin jika terjadi bencana..

ini dia link-nya

When disaster strikes, you may not have much time to act. Prepare now for a sudden emergency. By taking simple steps to prepare your family, you can help protect them. You will also be able to cope better if a disaster does occur.

There are three basic steps for disaster or emergency preparedness:

1.Recieve Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) e-mail bulletin alerts during disasters in your area.

Know what natural or other disasters could occur in your area and how to prepare for them. Know what your local evacuation routes are so that you are ready to leave the area quickly. The Federal Emergency Management Agency has a lot of information on disaster preparedness. For information on pandemic flu and avian influenza, see http://www.pandemicflu.gov.
2.Make an emergency plan and give family members a copy of it. Talk to your family members about disasters or emergencies that could happen in your area. Explain how to respond to each of them. In a disaster, it might be dangerous or difficult to go home. So, just in case, pick another place for loved ones to meet. Make sure you designate an "emergency check-in" contact. Teach your children the phone number for this contact. This is important in case you get separated during a disaster! This PDF icon ready made emergency preparedness list (PDF file, 137 Kb) will help you create your plan.
3.Pack emergency supplies in your home to meet your needs for three days. Always keep copies of all of your important papers together in one place. That way you can "grab and go" during an evacuation. Keep all necessary supplies in a specific place. Make sure you plan for any family members with disabilities or special needs. If you have a pet, make sure you include them in your plans. If you evacuate, do not leave your pet behind. Pets are unlikely to survive on their own. So plan to take them along. Some shelters don't allow pets. Keep a list of pet-friendly hotels or boarding facilities.

Evacuation Disaster Kit

The Federal Emergency Management Agency and the American Red Cross recommend keeping all important family papers in a safety deposit box or other safe location. This includes items such as birth and marriage certificates, social security cards, wills, deeds, and financial and insurance information. Make copies so you’ll have the information at hand.
Identification for all members of your family:

* Copies of birth certificates
* Copies of social security cards (or numbers written on paper if you can't find the cards)
* Driver's license
* Photo identification or passports
* Welfare identification
* Green card
* Copies of pet vaccination records
* Picture of your pet

Copies of important personal papers

* Marriage certificate or divorce papers and custody orders
* Health insurance papers and medical cards
* Medical records for all family members
* Children's school records
* Investment papers, records, and account numbers
* Work permits, immigration papers
* Rental agreement, lease or house deed
* Car title, registration, and insurance information

Funds

* Cash or traveler's checks in small -- $10 or $20 – amounts that can be cashed easily
* Credit, debit, and ATM cards
* Checkbook and bankbook (with deposit slips)

Keys

* House
* Car
* Safety deposit box or post office box

A way to communicate

* Phone calling card or cell phone (if possible, always have an extra, charged cell phone battery)
* Emergency check-in number for all family members in case you get separated
* List of important phone numbers

Medications and supplies

* All medicines you and your children are taking, as well as a copy of the prescriptions (if possible)
* Extra eye glasses or contact lenses and supplies
* Tampons or sanitary pads

Things to help you cope – if you have extra room

* Pictures and small keepsakes
* Children's small toys or books
Survival Items

Below are items that are a must in any disaster kit. Your health, safety, and even survival, may depend on them. Keep these items together in one safe place that you can easily get to if you must evacuate.
Water

* Keep at least a three-day supply of water stored in plastic containers per person. Each person and pet needs one gallon of water each day. Four family members = 4x3 = 12 gallons of stored water.

Food
* Store at least a three-day supply of non-perishable food such as: canned meat, beans and vegetables, peanut butter or other high energy food, canned fruit and juices, unsalted crackers, etc. Be sure to include a non-electric can opener.
* Canned pet food
* Utensils and other supplies for eating

First Aid Kit
* Sterile dressing to stop bleeding
* Sports wrap for sprains or other injuries
* Safety pins to close sports wrap
* Adhesive bandages in different sizes
* Scissors and tweezers
* Over-the-counter pain medication
* Antibiotic ointment
* Burn ointment
* Eye-wash solution
* Thermometer
* Cough suppressant
* Antihistamine
* Anti-diarrhea medication
* First-aid manual

Infant Care
* Baby formula if child is not breastfed
* If you are evacuating with a baby or toddler, don't waste precious space by trying to carry a stroller. Shirts, towels, small blankets and sheets can be used to carry a baby. The Mamatoto Project has a quick video of how to make safe baby carriers out of household items or clothing.

Household Supplies
* Large, sealing plastic bags (for waterproofing important papers)
* Battery-powered flashlight and radio w/extra batteries
* Matches in a water-proof container
* Sleeping bag or warm blanket for each member of your family
* A complete change of clothes that includes long pants and shirts

You may need to survive on your own after a disaster. This means having enough water and food to last three days. Emergency workers will most likely be in the area after a disaster. However, they can't get to everyone right away. Even if you don't have to evacuate, you may need to "shelter in place." This means you stay in your house and don't go out. Services such as power, water, and heat or air conditioning may not be working. That's why a disaster kit is so important. You can use it on the go or in your home.
