Childcare philosophy.

Children's Expression: 

      Another major idea in Gijubhai's philosophy is 'Children's Expression'.This expression occupies a very important place in human life.Man becomes healthy through expression.Man becomes upset if expression is not found.What a relief it would be to spend half an hour chatting with peers.We often heal a very sad person by crying.Who has not seen the farmers or the fishermen returning after catching the rice crop and dancing in ecstasy?This is the tendency in Orissa, Andhra and Konkani folk dances.  

           The Arabian Knights were created by the Sagarputras who sailed Daryalal in a single ship and expressed their happiness and sorrow, love and devotion, friendship and sacrifice, fantasies and passions.Hundreds of thousands of miles away from home, nights between the abyss above and the mehraman below just because of that expression.Can you complete days and nights?This expression also develops the human heart.All mankind's creations are the result of this expression.It is in the art of this expression that human creativity exists.Picture,music,story,drama,folk music, folklore, folk art, art collections, small and big activities,conversation are all different types of expression. 

     This expression is very helpful in the development of the heart and in the disturbance of creativity and towards this his guru Montessori in his method has emphasized on painting,music and folk decoration,but Gijubhai goes much further than that.And puts more emphasis on this organ in their own kindergarten.Introduces new stories like children's stories,children's plays, folk songs,folk tales,art collections etc.  In terms of stories, Dr.Montessori here is also a good deal of disagreement with Montessori.Thus, even adding his own originals,Gijubhai developed this in his kindergarten and immersed the kindergarten in interest and joy.Moreover,he accepted this very consciously.In the preface to one of his books he notes that ‘today we must never forget the development of the heart when it comes to the ill effects of the overdevelopment of the intellect;  Not only that, but let's focus on it.  

         Gijubhai also drew our attention to how we kill the surge power emanating from the expression at home and at school.  

        "Yes, my ... where do you want to teach your child?"  My conscience was stirred when I saw a Vaniya taking a child to school again and again.  My school life was saved.  Knowing the old struggle of many powers, he said to me, ‘Stand up, leave advocacy.  I ran.  Worshiped the new vision for five years and I experienced firsthand the omnipresent, omnipresent being. 

                                                 - Gijubhai

         Let's take a look at today's homes.  Pediatrician. Let's check out why.If you see it in a house, you will hear: ‘Roya!  Ash is now very angry!This is my headache,I have become a big singer!  "Stand up, my darling, why did you make this fear all black?" As soon as the coal was handed over,the train,the bridge and the rivers had to be removed! Don't fill your stomach with it, Rotha 'I will starve, starve!  

           Let's look at how creation is murdered in school, where we can say from our own instincts, such as' We have it there."We ate pampering today.  "We have a new brother there today.  The lines on her hands are as soft as soft silk and pink etc.When the children run to get it out,the teacher raises his eyebrows and moans and says: “Come on, let's go.  Or write: ‘Served.  

         Do we water the baby and our blood so that there is no grammar mistake?  Year end.We tell the same three stories of hers in a bizarre way and pull her out of her stomach during the exam;Poetry is what we call parrots; And we call it the study of language literature! From this we expect new creations in literature.  

         Giju Bhai has given a very detailed description and finally says that our homes and our schools have become slaughterhouses of creativity.  

        In order to find a way out of this situation,Mane attached great importance to this expression in his kindergartens and developed the organs of painting and music very much.In it, he has to some extent accepted the ideas of European educators siezek  and Dakauz, with the help of his own art of drama, in the kindergarten.Acting songs, however, songs and short stories also came together and in the hunger of  Mizu and other teacher's children with Shanyeen is the nick of the program Became.  Many activities like pottery,horticulture, decoration,flower arranging etc.came to the kindergarten as a result of this idea.In terms of fiction from the stories, Dr. Montessori there is a lot of disagreement with Montessori.He also had a good dispute with Shri Kishorlalbhai regarding the training of imagination.The potential for the development of language expression in stories is not insignificant in their eyes.  Even Mr. Kishorlalbhai has to agree with Gijubhai that the ideas formed on the basis of reality are beneficial in life. 

    The role of the teacher in education

        

     We examine Gijubhai's views on the place of the teacher in education.  

         A.   The teacher should be able to observe the first mark.This observation could not be easily made.The teacher should have great patience,instead of letting the child learn something,he should have the tendency to let the child learn by himself.The teacher helps as much as he needs to.Unnecessary help hinders a child's development.  

          B.  Another quality in the teacher is restraint of speech.He should observe a strict fast of silence until it happens.The teacher should also exaggerate the use of speech where there is a need to use it spontaneously or when giving individual lessons.The line of that verse of Dakshinamurti Stotra comes to mind.

      C. The third quality of a teacher is selflessness.He is the only one who can help the child in his development as much as possible.There is also learning from children.His humility is such that he is always careful not to make any mistake of his own and also to ensure that the child does not get any kind of injustice.  

       D.  The qualities that a Montessori.He teacher should have in a scientist are also needed.Without the qualities of observation,diligence,industry,patience, haste for the result,quick decision making and accuracy etc.

It doesn't work.The combination of his vision and the child's vision and the idea that the child is a delicate machine, should definitely be imprinted in his mind.  In addition, if he does not have knowledge of psychology, etc., he is incomplete as a teacher.  

      E.  The most important quality is that the teacher needs extraordinary confidence in the child's personality.He needs complete empathy for the child and especially devotion in the child.In the book titled 'Montessori Method', Gijubhai has also given due consideration to the position of the teacher.They say: ‘Life grows by itself.  In order to study it, to know its mysteries or to draw its activity,one needs to first observe it and then understand its meaning without intervening.'

      The teacher's vision should be as precise and pure as that of a scientist and as loving and spiritual as that of saintly men.The precision of science and the sanctity of a saint are two basic pillars of a teacher's preparation.  

       The teacher's instinct should be classical and divine at the same time.  In all these thoughts, it is clear that  He does not disagree with Dr.Montessori on this point.

      The significance of this philosophy

 

              Gijubhai,which is a feature of philosophy that they seem to agree with, should not go unnoticed.  Great learning of education He did not fall into education by studying.He fell into education due to some distance from the business of advocacy.  

       Nowhere did he return to foreign lands.He did not see the institutions of the new Western education.Overwhelmed by childishness,he read educational books with innovative ideas to make his children's education excellent,interesting and welfare-oriented;He compared the ideas with his own everyday experiences and the conclusions drawn from them;And many of these years of unparalleled struggle finally built his philosophy. 

      In Gijubhai's philosophy we hear the rumble of self-realization.And that is why his philosophy is not a utopia (daydream),but a workaholic philosophy that has been practiced in life and can be practiced even now.Gijubhai's vision can reach beyond the horizon.The radicalization of his ideas has not diminished even today.He had a clear vision of what life should be like and that is why we can see very clearly how he was trained to shape such a life.Even though it has been so many years since his death, the significance of his thoughts has not diminished.  As the years go by, the importance of this philosophy becomes more and more understood and its practice seems inevitable.

        And that is why Gandhiji paid homage to him saying, "Who am I to write about Gijubhai?"  I was always fascinated by her enthusiasm and her faith.His work will flourish.  '
