  2. “The difference between a child with good tarbia and a child with bad tarbia is like the difference between a complete house and a destroyed house.”

  3. "When the child gets good tarbia from the home, s/he will be good and polite in school also. The tarbia that a child gets from the family, they can't get from school. When the mother puts her child under her breast and says, 'Lalo, lalo,' that is the beginning of tarbia because slowly the child will learn how to say 'hello' and respect others, in particular their elders. Then the mother says to her child to respect elders and be kind with smaller children. From this the child will learn good tarbia, and by the time they get to school they don't need training because we have a saying that 'tarbia is more important than education.”

  4. Four attributes of good tarbia: • good and clean language • respect for elders and parents • bodily cleanliness • hospitality

  5. Other aspects of children’s well-being • Courage • Housework • Physical health

  6. Community-based Early • Childhood Development • Program: • playgroups meeting several times a week in homes • facilitated by women and older girls (volunteers) • Simple routine

  7. What did parents value about playgroups? • The play group stops children from going to dirty places or to the lane. • They [children] become clean because they ask for a clean • Dress before going to playgroup and they comb their hair. • My children say other children come clean and regularly to the group. • They learn to organize things because after play they put everything in a bag or place. • They can recognize good and bad things. • They get familiar with everything which is necessary for school. • As I understand it, playgroup is necessary for school and school is necessary for university.

  8. What was not happening • in playgroups? • children were not being encouraged to play outside; • that there was little to no use of sand, clay and water • there are very few physical activities • children, while they talk a lot to each other, rarely talk with the facilitator. • many groups were very small.

  9. Lessons learned: • Negotiate what happens in playgroups • Learn more about ECD in Afghanistan and what parents want for their children and why
