Ulasan:
Buku ini paling di gemari oleh anak-anak saya kerana dapat meransang deria sentuhan mereka dengan pelbagai tekstur dan hasil ilustrasi yang berwarna-warni dapat memikat si kecil tanpa henti.

Setiap kali selesai membaca dan menerangkan buku ini kepada anak-anak, saya akan tunjukkan pada mereka objek sebenar yang boleh di dapati di dalam rumah sendiri seperti di dalam contoh rumah “Violet the Mouse”.

Melalui cara ini anak-anak dapat membandingkan di antara lukisan dan objek sebenar.Tiga perkataan dari saya: Menarik, efektif, kreatif.

Sebagai ibu muda di awal usia 19 tahun, buku ini memberi saya cara pembelajaran dan pengajaran yang sangat berkesan buat bayi saya. Alhamdulillah, terlalu banyak perkara yang perlu saya pelajari dapat saya realisasikan dengan bantuan bahan bacaan ini.

Saya bertambah keyakinan dalam meneruskan “Homeschool” buat bayi saya kerana saya yakin sebelum mengambil apa-apa tindakan, ibubapa berperanan memperkasa ilmu di dada buat asuhan kepada anak-anak.

Komitmen dan kasih sayang ibubapa yang paling penting dapat membina daya kecerdasan minda anak-anak.Konsep dan idea kreatif yang diterapkan membuatkan saya menjadi seorang yang tidak boleh memberi apa-apa alasan demi kegembiraan dan kecerdasan anak saya.

Penguat semangat dan motivasi yang baik buat ibubapa, kerana benar sekali sabda baginda Rasulullah s.a.w:”Tuntutlah ilmu di mana sahaja walau sampai ke negara China”Moga ibubapa hari ini dapat menerapkan cara menyayangi ilmu dan memupuk minat membaca dikalangan ibubapa sendiri bagi teladan buat anak-anak serta mengurangkan pembacaan karya picisan.

Tips-tips yang saya baca di bahagian akhir kulit buku ini sangat membantu saya dalam usaha memulakan proses mengajar dan mendidik bayi saya yang pada waktu itu berusia 3 bulan.

Walaupun buku ini sebenarnya untuk anak kecil berumur 1 tahun, namun saya gemar dedahkan bayi saya kepada pembacaan yang lebih mencabar dari usia sebenarnya. Saya ulangi pembacaan buku ini buat bayi saya sehingga kini anak saya telah pun berumur 2 tahun 8 bulan dan di sambung pula oleh adiknya.

Warna dan objek-objek menarik mudah di kenalpasti oleh bayi, bayi dapat beri ransangan dan tertarik tanpa jemu. Lengkap dengan pengetahuan mengenai, rutin harian bayi, keadaan persekitaran, warna, objek, mengenali perasaan, artikel mengenai alam haiwan, cuaca, pakaian, makanan, sayur-sayuran dan galeri seni.

Saya lakukan setiap aktiviti di dalam buku ini bersama-sama bayi saya dan bayi saya begitu gembira apabila berjaya menjawabnya. Alhamdulillah, melalui pembacaan buku ini saya dapat mendekatkan ikatan hubungan saya bersama anak-anak.

Totto-chan: The Little Girl at the Window

Post by MamaFiza on October 7, 2006 

Title: Totto-chan By: Tetsuko Kuroyanagi (Author), Dorothy Britton (Translator)
Type: Paperback

About: This engaging series of childhood recollections tells about an ideal school in Tokyo during World War II that combined learning with fun, freedom, and love.

This unusual school had old railroad cars for classrooms, and it was run by an extraordinary man-its founder and headmaster, Sosaku Kobayashi-who was a firm believer in freedom of expression and activity.

In real life, the Totto-chan of the book has become one of Japan’s most popular television personalities-Tetsuko Kuroyanagi.

She attributes her success in life to this wonderful school and its headmaster.

The charm of this account has won the hearts of millions of people of all ages and made this book a ruanaway bestseller in Japan, with sales hitting the 4.5 million mark in its first year.

Author: Tetsuko Kuroyanagi, daughter of the celebrated violinist, was voted Japan’s most popular television personality fourteen times. She studied to become an opera singer but then became an actress instead, winning a prestigious award for her work in radio and television.

She spent 1972 in New York studying acting, and was critically acclaimed in Japan for her leading role in works by Albee and Shaffer and in Melchior Lengyel’s Ninotchka: Her daily television talk show, Tetsuko’s Room, is still going strong after more than twenty years. Japan’s first such program, it was recently awarded television’s highest prize. This and the other shows on which she regularly appears all enjoy top viewer ratings.

Devoted to welfare and conservation, Kuroyanagi is Asia’s first UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador and serves on the board of the Worldwide Fun for Nature. The Totto Foundation-financed with her book royalties-provides professional training to deaf actors, with whom Kuroyanagi often appears. Kuroyanagi has twicw brought America’s National Theater of the Deaf to Japan, acting with them in sign language.

She is the author of ten books.

Ulasan:
Perasaan saya sangat teruja sewaktu pertama kali membaca karya ini (ketika saya berumur 15 tahun) kerana kisah benar yang dipaparkan terlalu unik dan berbeza daripada pengalaman biasa. Cara ibubapa cik Tetsuko dalam mendidiknya sangat kritis, penyayang malah cukup progresif dalam pembinaan sahsiah anaknya bagi jangka masa panjang. Saya kagumi sikap ibubapa beliau yang tidak pernah ambil jalan mudah bagi mengasuh beliau tetapi memberi kepercayaan dan pilihan terbaik untuk anak mereka serta prihatin untuk mendengar cerita si anak kecil walaupun tampak remeh di mata masyarakat.

Tuan Sosaku Kobayashi, guru besar di sekolah Tomoe Gakuen tempat beliau belajar telah beri impak terbesar kepada saya. Cara didikan beliau yang sungguh luar biasa dan pemikiran meluas beliau dalam isu pendidikan kanak-kanak telah membuat saya mengambil keputusan rasmi dalam hidup saya untuk membuat “Home School” kepada bakal anak-anak saya. Saya ingin terapkan budaya ilmu yang diperkenalkan oleh beliau buat anak-anak saya kerana beliau sangat mementingkan pendapat dan kebebasan menuntut ilmu bagi kanak-kanak yang nyata malah terbukti dapat meningkatkan tahap IQ kanak-kanak tersebut (semua anak didiknya berjaya di persada dunia dengan kasih sayang yang di tunjukkan oleh beliau).

Belajar di dalam gerabak keretapi, boleh belajar apa sahaja yang di minati, cara pemakanan, nyanyian, sukan, kebajikan; semuanya begitu berbeza dari pendidikan formal.

Alhamdulillah, saya gembira dan kini saya telah pun mendidik anak-anak saya mengikut acuan hasil pembacaan saya ini. Ianya buku kecil namun memberi impak besar kepada saya, suami dan anak-anak.

I wish that I could find someone like Totto-cHan’s parent and Sensei Sosaku Kobayashi to guide me, however, for sure it is hard :)

So I decided “If I can’t find one, I should try to be ONE“, Insya-Allah.
