Every child is born with the innate characteristics they inherit from their family, but the foundations of the characteristics they will possess in adulthood are also formed by the influences of their family and the environment they live in. Every child possesses creative talent. The continuity of creativity and the ways it manifests vary from child to child.

Creativity is the ability to make connections between previously unrelated materials and ideas, to perceive, to see, to transcend the boundaries of the known and to rearrange thoughts in an aesthetic way, and to be original.

The environment and external conditions in which a child grows up are crucial for their psychological development. The home is their living space and the first place where their sense of belonging develops, so planning this space is crucial. The child's living space will have a significant impact on their psychological world, even shaping their perception of their own space later in life.
As parents, you, as adults, have a lot of work to do at this point. Spaces designed with a child's physical and mental development in mind will also play a significant role in their perceptual and cognitive development. Within their home and room, children will be able to take on educational and instructional roles and reinforce these roles through play. In their own space, they will feel both free and responsible, sharing this space with others and family members.

Home. Our safest space. Our most fundamental, protected space where we keep everything, where we sometimes hide, where we always feel good inside, no matter how chaotic the outside.

How much has this definition changed now? Home. Our most unsettling space. The chaos outside has intensified, creating chaos within our homes as well. It's become a place where we feel unsafe, uneasy, constantly wondering what we'll do if something happens. Our homes, so to speak, have collapsed around us. They truly have. Unfortunately, these days, our homes are not places that can hold all our anxieties. No matter how strong our fundamental trust, our homes are in a state of difficulty these days.
