The Conscious Parents School Project is a Social Education Project initiated by Pedagogue Soner Koşan in 2013 and carried out by ADED (Family Counseling, Education and Therapy Association) to raise awareness of parents, raise awareness, and bring them together with the world of perception of children. The project has reached more than 14,000 parents in 9 districts in 4 years with the approval and support of district governorships and Directorates of National Education.
About the Project/ Starting Point of the Project
The founder of the project, Dr. Let’s continue to explain the Conscious Parents School with the answer given by pedagogue Soner Koşan to the question why he founded the Conscious Parents School Project;
“Children try to get their parents to notice them. Parents also make an effort to help their children learn to live on their own. What a strange contradiction that even though both parties want the same thing, that’s where the problem comes from and it messes up all relationships. It’s called miscommunication and inability to perceive. As experts, we try to explain to mothers that there is a third way through the trainings we reach. Being a Conscious Parent is to give our love unfiltered and unconditionally, beyond reading and researching child development books a lot. That is, we should give our love only because we have a child, without tying it to an achievement or talent. Then look how all the doors open before us one by one. As I always say in my trainings; Without reward and punishment, without making our own personal journey through the child, we can increase our children’s self-confidence and ensure that they are more successful, hopeful and not dependent on others by simply perceiving and raising awareness. Our child will be our child, and we will be our child’s students, but we will continue to be just parents without teaching each other…”
Mothers now want more detailed and analytical information. S Konsept Akademi & ADED) dynamically answers the questions of thousands of mothers, supports child-mother communication, and adds pedagogy to the foundations of a happier family.
Project 'Point
No matter how much we suffer from raising children, we live in a system in which we are not able to take any solutional steps.
According to surveys conducted in the 06-15 age range, 45.6% of our children use the Internet almost every day and 53.5% use social media. 9 out of 10 children watch television every day. One or more of many problems such as nail biting, aggression, school problems, bedwetting, stuttering, communication problems, fears are experienced in many families.
In cases such as divorce, trauma, incompatibility, loss in the family, accidents, moving, etc., the approach to the child can be much more sensitive, and it is not known how to behave in these situations.
Since 1982, there has not been a pedagogy department; although experts who have graduated from departments such as child development, psychological counselling, and psychology and have received vocational training and certificates try to fill this gap, due to the inadequacy of the education system, real solution points cannot be presented in any way, and insolvability continues.
Although the source of the problems is the same, the problem itself can change shape from time to time. For example, if the children of low-economic families are addicted to TV, at high economic levels this problem is manifested as TABLET addiction.
In today’s world, where every expert easily expresses an opinion and there is so much information pollution on Google and television, mothers are confused about which way to try. They cannot go beyond the classical words of child-parent communication.
We do not define problems as ‘x’ problem and ‘y’ solution.
We prioritize ‘x’ problems that ‘parents and children’ may experience and ‘a’, ‘b’, ‘c’ phenomena that trigger them. At the point of identifying these phenomena, we state that parents will reach solution ‘y’ because of questioning themselves and self-criticism.
Since we know that quick and easy solutions will not provide long-term and permanent solutions, we present our programs with this understanding.
Since we know that people’s own fears, traumas and dilemmas have a great influence on their approach to their children, we enable parents to direct their perspectives towards themselves. A parenting program will only be meaningful in this respect.
Who do we think is a Conscious Parent?
- Conditions to be considered during pregnancy and what does it mean to be a mother?
- Communication models with children from families who have been torn apart, experienced loss, chronic severe illnesses, and techniques for understanding and perceiving those children.
- Problems of working mothers – nursery – kindergarten problems and friendships
- Causes and solution methods for problems such as bedwetting, nail biting, stuttering that may occur later
- Communication methods with the spouse and the most common family problems
- Let’s rediscover our children. (Child development between the ages of 1-12 and what the child wants from the mother, what the mother and father give. There are separate seminar topics for each age).
- Parental role in sibling jealousy
- Causes and solution methods in the formation of anxiety, fear, tics in our children.
- Coping with puberty, different developmental characteristics in boys and girls and ways of communication
- Responsibilities at home and not studying, parent-child communication
- Pedagogical approaches against Internet – TV – Television addictions.
- Being a father through the eyes of children, mothers, and fathers
- Oh, these fairy tales and dreams.
Some of the thoughts and feelings of the parents who participated in the trainings
"Mothers Change, Children Develop"
No matter how bad we are about raising children, he listens to the system that he can’t get rid of analytically.
According to the surveys conducted between the ages of 06-15, 45.6% of the participants use the Internet almost every day, and 53.5% also use social media. 9 out of 10 kids watch TV series every day. One or more of many problems such as nail biting, aggression, school windows, bedwetting, stuttering, communication hackers, fears live in many families.
Divorce, trauma, invisibility, loss in the family, accident, moving may be much more sensitive, and how this behavior will be treated is rarely seen. Today, there is no pedagogy department since 1982; Although specialists who graduated from departments such as child development, psychology, pdr and whose families have obtained education and certificates try to fill these customers, real solution points cannot be offered as a result of the inadequacy of the education system, and the deadlocks continue.
Although the source of the problems is the same, it can change its form from time to time. For example, if the children of families with low economic levels have TV, this problem appears as TABLET class at high economy level.
In today’s world where every expert has an opinion and there is a huge amount of information pollution on Google and TV, mothers are surprised which way they will try. The classic child-parent communication words cannot pass.
