WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE EDUCATION SYSTEM?

 What is wrong with the education system? Have you ever wondered what is wrong with the current education system? If you have then something even some things are definitely wrong. You sense that to your marrows. What are they?

Do you remember how you felt like a fish out of water on the day you graduated? Do you remember how lost, lonely, clueless, and small you felt? And worst of all none of your tutors who ruled your life for four years like all the other tutors you had had in the past, cared about your next step in life. Because they already knew that schools did not prepare you for life, none of you. They turned you all into blind, fearful job seekers who were ready to do everything they were told just like how you were taught in school. 

A Fish Out of Water

Yes, that was the best thing they taught you nonverbally. They taught you to do as you were told without questioning. They did not even teach you how. They filled your mind with all the useless information, not even knowledge and they called that education. Why did you agree to go through all that stupidity? Because, you had no clue who you were, why you were here, what the world was all about and you thought you might figure all that out through education. 

And life was going to tell you how wrong you were and how badly you were deceived since you lacked wisdom. Schools do not give wisdom to anyone, in fact, they are designed to abuse confused and lost individuals. And media produces more and more of those kinds of people for schools. 

And on top of all that, schools steal golden years of kids. They darken if they fail to kill kids' imagination and creativity. Tutors either punish or make fun of those kids who think, feel and behave differently from the rest. Those who are good at memorizing dry, boring information get good grades and are considered to be good students. And that is what we call education. Is this really education? Please name it yourself in your comment below if you think that this is not education. 

And those bells? What are they all about? Are kids turning into Pavlov's dogs in front of their parents' eyes? 

S.Y. Turner talks exactly about this in"Three Mountain Girls".

Three Mountain Girls by S.Y.Turner

It is one of the six books Turner produced to create the Pink Books Series. Kelly, Nelly, and Amy are the three girls who are bamboozled by the education system.  They search for the answers despite being too young. They want to be sharp, smart, and wise. But they have no clue how. You and your kids will love this life-changing book. 

It is available on Amazon, Apple, Barnes&Noble, will be on Google Play soon, too. 

MY DAD IS QUITE MAD

 "My Dad Is Quite Mad" is one of the Orange Books by S.Y.Turner that makes every great reader kid and parent wonder what could be the most expensive thing on earth. And you immediately ask Uncle Google. He says it is The International Space Station(ISS). 

Sure you laugh. In fact, you laugh your lungs out. Because you secretly sense that that is not the answer. It cannot be. Then what is it?

A Good Father? 

Partially true, because if you don't have a good father you start life already defeated. It takes ages to see what void your father or lack of him caused in you. It takes even longer to fill it or heal that void, not to mention how every culture in the world is designed to feed individuals' existent voids and open new ones. Until then you are in constant pain and you make lots of mistakes. So, it is extremely costly to have a bad father or none. But is it really what is the most expensive thing in the world? 

Orange Book by S.Y.Turner

How about a good mother? 

Well, yes. That is not the most expensive thing, that is priceless hence it is extremely rare to have a good one. If we all had good and strong mothers the world would have had fewer broken adults and been a better place. Again, the male-dominant world does not allow women to be strong, that is the main reason why fashion dictates women to be thin, nothing but thin. That is a big topic, that should be discussed here in the near future. 

A good Family? 

Sure, it is. In fact, it is hardly affordable nowadays. Not because people are poor but because people are greedy. They are not satisfied with one partner, one house, one kid, a few nice clothes, one car, one job, etc. Hence marriages don't last or end up with murder and wounded kids. 

The answer is close to a good family but it isn't exactly. The answer is hidden in the entire story S.Y.Turner tells in this little Orange Book "My Dad is Quite Mad".

HOW TO BECOME A BETTER PARENT

How to become a better parent may not be the number one concern of those who happened to produce a kid for a reason that is different from love, but surely it is for those whose first reason to have a child is love. Hence, this piece is written for those who became a parent merely out of love for love, to love, to be loved, spread love. 

Every child is unique, so is every parent, so is every home. Hence every situation you experience with your kids is unique and special. Good ones bring happiness, bad ones teach lessons and strengthen you all only if you manage to remain lovingly constructive, respectfully leading, compassionately logical, and rational all the way. 

That is the best strategy to manage any crisis and become a better parent. However, most parents who constantly seek a way to become better parents don't really know who they are. They think they know who they are but all they know is their ideal self, not their real self. Hence, every parenting technique they try to implement fails.

Parenting with love and compassion.

So, the first step to becoming a better parent is to know who you truly are. If you don't, you will end up projecting all your flaws onto your child. Work hard to free yourself from the pain of what your parents failed to give or refused to give you. Heal all the wounds they caused in you. Do not use your child as a tool to heal yourself. That is wrong and a heavy burden for any child.

Secondly, make sure your marriage is working and filled with love and compassion. If you don't have that, do not even try to have a child. If you happened to already have one or two and then work on your marriage on a daily basis as well as on yourself and your parenting skills. Remember, if there is not enough love and compassion in your home, everything you try will fail. 

Only and only then, you can read the subtext of what your kids tell you. Only and only then you can hear their silence. The Purple little book titled "Please Don't Leave Mum," by S.Y.Turner shows how kids can see, feel and hear more than you think you allow them to. Melissa, the main character of the book, tells how she feels and copes with her parents' words and actions. 

Please Don't Leave Mum

It is more effective to teach anything to your kids and transform them through story reading and analyzing it with them. And "Please Don't Leave Mum" by S.Y.Turner is a great book to start with. It is available on Amazon, Apple, and Google Play.  You will become a better parent as long as you approach your kids with love, compassion, and wisdom.

   

KIDS IN THE SYRIAN WAR

Kids in the Syrian War wonder how much longer will this war continue on, how long can they endure and what will they do after the war to recover. It has been eleven long years since it started. 

Why and how did the war begin no longer matters. Surely, those reasons people have been told repeatedly and deliberately are only apparent truths. What and who created those reasons, circumstances over a long period of time is the real truth. 

Why doesn't the Syrian War stop? 

No need to complicate the answer. The war in Syria does not stop because there are too many players involved in this war. They will not stop until they win the war. But the war will not stop even when it is won or lost. 

What does that mean? Only the women, kids, and broken families in the war know what that means. 

Kids in the Syrian War

The war reportedly has displaced 13.3 million people so far. The majority of Syrian refugees fleed to Turkey, Jordan, and Lebanon. European countries received 1.3 million applications from asylum seekers. 

And despite all the destruction and damage of the war, there is still not a clear path to peace. But kids in the Syrian War need help. Help them until peace comes and stops the war in Syria.

The atrocities kids and women go through in the Syrian War are heart-stabbingly painful. 15 kids died because of the cold weather last winter. They had no coat, no socks, no shoes. A mum told her kids to walk all night long not to die due to the extreme amount of snow.  They did walk all night long without shoes or coats but they still died before dawn.

And the book "OMG! JIMMY and JENNY" by S.Y.Turner tells the story of European and Syrian kids. 

OMG! JIMMY and JENNY!

As always, S.Y. Turner has written this book in rhyme without being obsessed with it. It touches people's hearts in the most meaningful way. Get this book and help kids in the Syrian War. Available on Apple, Barnes, and Noble, Google Play, too. 

The book is also filled with great parenting tips. 

 

RUSSIA AND UKRAINE WAR

Russia and Ukraine War started on 24 February 2022. Russia invaded Ukraine for numerous inhuman reasons and the deadly war began. Its reason doesn't really matter. Because Russia did not really attack Ukraine only, it attacked entire humanity. 

So many kids died, thousands had to flee. Millions of lives have been destroyed, many Ukrainian cities got ruined. Not only that, thousands of Russians died, too. Economic sanctions affected thousands of innocent Russian citizens as a result of the Russia and Ukraine War.

Ukrainians Leave Their Country Due to War

Some countries like China found the war as an opportunity to expand their borders and trading areas. Food and energy prices all over the world increased and entire humanity suffered as a result due to the war between Russia and Ukraine. Uncertainty, the war caused in the whole world still continues today. 

Turkey worked hard to bring back peace between Russia and Ukraine in the meantime. Turkish President, Recep Tayyip Erdogan held numerous peace talks with the leaders from both sides of the war. The results of those meetings held in Antalya have reportedly been positive.   

That is what every human being in the world really cares about. And that is what exactly matters for humanity. Peace! People who experience war hardly recover. Kids who experience war cannot become healthy adults just like Sofia in the book called "That Was My Home Dear War". Eight-year-old Sofia tells her experience of war on the train to Poland. 

S.Y.Turner invites everybody to help kids in the war in this book. Every kid deserves to grow up in their home. They don't have to pay the price of a deadly war. 

Help kids in Russia-Ukraine War today. Help them tell happy stories, help them become better adults today. The book is available on Apple, Barnes and Noble, Google Play. Half of what you pay to get this book will be sent to the kids in Ukraine. 

THE GIRL WHO ATE HER OWN HAIR

 "The Girl Who Ate Her Own Hair" is a fairly new book by S.Y. Turner. It has a lot to offer. Is it as entertaining as Dr.Seuss' books, you might wonder. Does it have to be? Not really.
Sure,it would be such a glorious ignorance not to mention Dr.Seuss and his fascination with unborn babies when it comes to children's books. He is the most amazing story doctor kids have ever seen. 

He produced 60 books for children yet had no child of his own. Because he believed that he wrote for people not for kids. What did that mean exactly?

Dr.Seuss

 

It meant kids are not what or who we think they are, they have more than fives senses even when they are in the uterus of their mummies. They are as capable as we are of understanding and interpreting things. And Dr. Seuss was right. 

And the way he ruled the words as he wished and drew what he wrote in the most astonishing way can make any aspiring and professional author envious. It is only apparent to the wise eyes how many stages his stories have gone through to become what they are. They are all incredibly brilliant work of kids' literature. 

However we live in a different time. A time that is more problematic than ever. 

Kids have problems that no parent has enough time to notice. Yes, parents have to work hard and long becuase it is more expensive than ever to live.Hence, kids struggle to overcome their problems alone most of the time. "The Girl Who Ate Her Own Hair" is written exactly for those kids. The kids who try to solve their problems on their own, the kids who don't even know that they have a problem. 

"Entertaintment is great but it does not help kids to express themselves, it forces them to act like everything is okay. What if everything isn't okay? Are we going to continue entertertaining them or are going to give them a voice through the stories they read?

Well, we better give them voice now. They can then and only then truly enjoy the entertaining part of the literature," says S.Y.Turner.

That must be the reason why most of S.Y.Turner's books are desgined to solve the problems which kids cannot confess even to themselves. "The Girl Who Ate Her Own Hair" is one of 36 books she has produced so far. Felicity eats her hair. Why? Does anyone even know she does that? No! Why? That is the main premise of the book. 

The Girl Who Ate Her Own Hair

"The Girl Who Ate Her Own Hair" is written in rhyme but is not obsessed with it. Its message is too important and big to be ruined by such an obsession. It is available on Amazon, Apple,Barnes and Noble.
