By climbing the developmental stages, the child acquires a set of skills ranging from eye contact to babbling, from gestures to first words, and from simple sentence combinations to complex sentences. Ultimately, the child who gains literacy skills continues to progress in language development through reading and writing. However, there may be some differences in the developmental process of the child, sometimes due to biomedical and sometimes environmental reasons. Speech and language therapists accompany children and their families who have a different language development adventure throughout this adventure.
This book arose out of a need for up-to-date and Turkish resources for speech and language therapy students and specialists, which are still developing in Turkey. In addition, each of them has been prepared by experts who continue their academic studies in this field for speech and language therapists and considering the child's language development steps. In this sense, it also aims to be a bedside source.

Each semester is a new adventure, a new learning. Childhood, the period in which most things are learned in life, is one of the most special periods of human life.

Mazlum Çöpür In every society, the main goal is to raise children mentally and physically healthy. Although mental and physical health, the foundation of which is laid in the mother's womb, mutually affect each other, if a person who is in good physical health is not mentally healthy, he does not enjoy life and feels unhappy. Negative events in childhood do not only impair mental health during childhood, but the effects of this continue in adulthood. For this reason, it is the key to raising healthy generations that children's social, emotional and cognitive development, personality and language development progress in accordance with their age, living in harmony with their environment and showing their talents, and feeling themselves as valuable and loved individuals. Knowing how the normal development of children follows and how to continue this course without interruption will enable us to raise mentally healthy children.
For reasons beyond our control, mental health problems may occur in children. Timely detection and treatment of these problems will prevent or minimize permanent damage to children's mental health.
In this book the steps that children go through for a mentally healthy development, the factors affecting their development, and some important and common mental problems are explained. It contains a lot of information, especially for students and teachers of psychological counseling and guidance, child development and psychology departments of universities. It is also hoped that the book will be useful to parents who are interested in the subject.
Zeynep Kızıltepe How to raise a self-confident child? How to develop self-confidence? How can we teach our children self-confidence?

In our book, valuable scientists discussed the answers to all these questions within the framework of their expertise; shared their information with us.
Among the topics of our book; how and under what conditions self-confidence develops in the family and at school; There are reasons for the differences in self-confidence among children, what we need to do to gain self-confidence in our children in a balanced way. In addition, in our book, with an overview of the subject of self-confidence, self-confidence in the preschool period, the relationship between sports and self-confidence, self-confidence and awareness, self-confidence and critical thinking, self-confidence in art and mathematics, the connection between self-confidence and well-being and the relationship between self-confidence and well-being.

Figen Karaceylan Çakmakcı “Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder” (ADHD) is a neuropsychiatric disorder that can disrupt an individual's social life, academic life and family relationships. Although it is a disease that can completely change the future of the child if it is not treated and intervened correctly, satisfactory answers begin to emerge as a result of the right approach and appropriate interventions.
In my 20-year career as a Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist, I have experienced many times that only drug therapy is not sufficient in the treatment of Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder. The fact that family attitudes and the interventions of the teacher in the classroom are as important as psychopharmacological treatment has motivated me to write such a book.
With this book, it is aimed to inform about the mistakes that we know to be true about Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder, which is heard by everyone and perhaps defined as today's fashion disease. In addition, it is aimed both to ensure that children with ADHD are understood and to strengthen effective behavior management for families and teachers by providing accurate information and tips to our families and teachers about the relationship between ADHD and learning, which causes misunderstandings and prejudices.
We hope that this book, which offers solutions suitable for the needs of children who are our future, will be a useful resource for everyone who reads it.

This book, which is a candidate to guide the curious about attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, actually allows us to meet a multi-layered public health problem. The reason why it is different from other books written on this subject so far is hidden in the way it deals with the subject. 96 scientists from 23 different professions tried to embrace today's most common neuropsychiatric disorder by signing 86 chapters. The purpose of this meeting is to draw a general framework for the most common neurodevelopmental problem of childhood, to turn "different" perspectives into "normal". This transdisciplinary meeting is never to reject and/or reduce the problem, but to create a roadmap to use all available resources effectively while struggling with a multi-layered situation.

Gamze Yaman, Mustafa Otrar, Müge Yüksel, Simel Parlak, Tuğba Türk Kurtça It is obvious that the presence of a child with special needs at home affects all family members. The financial and moral efforts of parents to support the developmental processes of their children can sometimes lead to very tiring experiences. During this time, the needs of siblings with normal development also appear, but these needs can be ignored. It should not be forgotten that having a sibling with special needs can affect a child with normal development from career choice to character. When the domestic and international literature is examined, it is seen that support groups, psychological counseling and guidance activities are mostly focused on parents, but there is not much work on siblings. The book "Living with My Special Sister", whose main purpose is to fill this gap, includes a psychoeducation program to support secondary and high school students with special needs siblings in their problems, as well as psychological counselors, psychologists, special education specialists who work/will work in the field within the scope of rehabilitation counseling. and aims to be a guide for social workers. In the five different chapters in the book, a content that will provide clues about both the social perspective and the emotions experienced by family members and their coping methods is aimed. This study, which is planned without forgetting that the sibling with normal development, as well as the parents, has a common denominator, will further strengthen the family system.

Leana Taşcılar, Nüket Afat, Sevgi Topçu, Yasemin Deringöl The education of gifted and talented students, or as it has been called until today, is an area that has been known for a long time and is being developed. However, most of the studies carried out in our country focus mainly on meeting the educational needs of gifted children.

Therefore, this book; It aims to raise awareness of teacher candidates, teachers working in this field, psychological counselors, psychologists and parents of gifted children on these issues. For this purpose, academic theses and studies on the emotional problems of gifted children have been provided to you in a simpler language.

Specific Learning Disability (SLD); It is a neurobiologically based disorder that is often noticed with the beginning of the child's academic life, but if it is not detected and intervened by specialists, its lifelong effect compels the person to struggle in all areas of his life, and genetic and environmental factors are effective. The definition of "DYSLExia" is used more often than "Specific Learning Disorder", as it is often defined as only the difficulty experienced in the "reading" skill.
Although it is sometimes defined as "disorder", sometimes "disease", sometimes "difficulty", sometimes "difference", it is a condition independent of intelligence that seriously affects both social and academic life of the individual, but in some cases it is a mis-perceived "intelligence retardation". is a hassle.
ÖÖG; Since it is a difficulty that affects language development and use, verbal and written expression, literacy and mathematics skills, it can lead to school failure and additional school adjustment problems. Considering the importance of school life in the child's mental development, when not correctly detected and intervened, the accompanying Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder, Anxiety Disorders and Behavioral Disorders are often overlooked comorbid conditions and pave the way for the child to experience emotional trauma.
As a result of nearly 10 years of experience and experience, it was decided to write this book. Practical practices of a team of Child and Adolescent Psychiatrists and Child Psychologists were shared. I hope it will be used as a reference book about what are known to be true about SLD, the importance of early detection and correct intervention, and what the legal rights of the child with SLD are…
