Buku dan Anak Usia 1 Tahun: Tentang Kata, Waktu, dan Kehadiran

Di usia 1 tahun, anak belum mengenal huruf, belum memahami cerita, bahkan belum bisa duduk lama mendengarkan. Namun justru di usia inilah, buku memiliki makna yang sangat sederhana dan penting, yaitu kehadiran.   Buku bukan tentang membaca. Buku adalah tentang duduk bersama, membuka halaman perlahan, dan membiarkan kata-kata hadir lebih dulu di udara.   Kata yang Didengar, Bukan Dibaca   Anak usia 1 tahun mengenal dunia lewat suara. Ia menyerap nada, irama, dan pengulangan. Saat sebuah buku dibacakan, yang bekerja bukan hanya telinganya, tetapi juga rasa amannya.   Buku dengan kalimat pendek, pengulangan kata, atau bahkan hanya satu kata per halaman sering kali lebih bermakna dibanding cerita panjang. Di usia ini, irama suara orang tua jauh lebih penting daripada alur cerita.   Beberapa orang tua memilih buku papan (board book) dengan kata-kata sederhana karena lebih tahan dibuka, ditutup, dan dipegang berulang kali oleh tangan kecil. ...

I know I’m strong enough

There’s a song by Cher, strong enough, which is truly powerful for me. The lyric, the beat, has a power to lift me up whenever I’m feeling down. The song even helped me to get through hard times when I stumbled and fell down. It does work for the healing process.

I don't need your sympathy
There's nothing you can say or do for me
And I don't want a miracle
You'll never change for no one

I hear your reasons why
Where did you sleep last night?
And was she worth it, was she worth it?

'Cos I'm strong enough
To live without you
Strong enough and I quit crying
Long enough now I'm strong enough
To know you gotta go

There's no more to say
So save your breath
And then walk away
No matter what I hear you say
I'm strong enough to know you gotta go

So you feel misunderstood
Baby, have I got news for you
On being used, I could write a book
You don't wanna hear about it

I've been losing sleep
You've been going cheap
She ain't worth half of me it's true
I'm telling you

Now I'm strong enough to live without you
Strong enough and I quit crying
Long enough now I'm strong enough
To know you gotta go

Come hell or waters high
You'll never see me cry
This is our last goodbye, it's true

I'm telling you
That I'm strong enough to live without you
Strong enough and I quit crying
Long enough now I'm strong enough
To know you gotta go

There's no more to say
So save your breath
And you walk away
No matter what I hear you say
I'm strong enough to know you gotta go
