The understanding of family and child rearing approaches in different cultures, and detailed information on the family development cycle ”has been included."
Why was this book needed?
Prof. Dr. N. Semra ERKAN says, “Today, instead of considering the effects of the environment in the upbringing and education of the child, instead of treating“ him as a single entity ”, addressing the family, school, physical and social environment together, which are the cornerstones of his development, is seen as a guarantee of success in education.
Programs that provide education and support to the family in early childhood development programs benefit parents as well as children. Family education strengthens the responsibility of the family in the education of the child, ensures that the development of the child is permanent and long-term, and plays a complementary role in supporting the development of the child with a holistic approach. This book has been prepared based on these thoughts.''
