After graduating from the Computer Technology Department of Balıkesir University, I gave trainings in this field for a while. The trainings I organised gave me different perspectives, what was in my heart was different: Children. After deciding to work with children, I completed my undergraduate degree in Child Development. While working with children on many different platforms, I developed my knowledge and experience of children’s developmental processes.
Motherhood opened the doors of a brand new era for me. Due to my profession, I was familiar with the developmental processes of children, but I was not aware that parenthood is also a challenging process with developmental steps. Moreover, today’s conditions, from social media to environmental factors, make this process even more difficult than before, making the parent lonely. Is it conceivable for a person who feels lonely to be happy? However, the first condition for the child to be happy is that those who care for him/her are also happy.
The first seeds of the idea of opening a centre for families and children were sown during this period. In December 2022, I resigned from my corporate business life and decided to take some time for myself. Like a kangaroo, we embraced our child and hit the road. We visited many places in the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway and Denmark. At the end of the journey, I never expected that I would return to Turkey with the decision to open a family-child centre.
