The early childhood period is a critically valuable stage of development during which children’s bodily awareness evolves, they explore themselves and their environment, and foundational social and emotional skills take shape. In this phase, the building blocks of children’s sexual identity are established, while concurrently the concept of privacy begins to emerge. In particular, the supportive guidance, transparent communication, and positive attitudes of parents are instrumental in the formation of privacy consciousness.

Today, screen use has become an indispensable part of daily life for individuals of all ages. However, when it comes to children in their developmental years, the effects of screen use are much more pronounced and directly experienced. Early childhood is a critical period in which cognitive, language, socio-emotional, and motor skills develop rapidly. During this stage, the amount of time spent in front of screens and the type of content consumed strongly influence children’s learning styles, communication skills, and interactions with their environment.

Emotions play a central role in how children make sense of the world and connect with others. Basic emotions such as happiness, sadness, anger, fear, and surprise are experienced intensely during the preschool years. However, recognizing these emotions, expressing them in healthy ways, and regulating them when necessary are not innate skills; they are abilities that develop over time.
