Maqaalkaan labaad wuxuu qaadaa dhigayaa dareenka iyo caadifadda jawiigga ilmaha lagu hayyo saamaynta ay ku leedahay dabeecadaha curuurta.  Qaabaynta iyo habeeynta bay’adda ilmahay lagu hayyo si ay caruurtu guul ugaaraan ayaa waxay tahay qodob muhiim ah oo tixgelin mudan.

Maqaalkaan wuxuu sharaxaad iyo tusaale kabixinayaa sida bay’adda cunuga lagu hayyo, qorshaha iyo jadwalka waxbarashada iyo caadada meesha kajirta, sida ay saamaynta baaxadda leh ay ugu leedahay sida caruurta ay u dhaqmayso ama dabeecadaha ubadka yaryar.

Maqaalkaan wuxuu talo kaasiinayaa muhiimadda ay leedahay xirfadaha ciyaarta ee kukordha ilmaha, wuxuuna maqaalkaan kusiinayaa xeelado lagu dhiiragalinayo caruur ubaahan in ay bartaan sida dadka loola ciyaaro.  Caruurtu waxaa lagayaabaa in ay layimaadaan dabeecado adag maadaama aysan weli xoogsan aqoontooda habladhaqanka bulshada oo loogabaahanyahy sida cunugu uu oo lajaanqaadi lahaa aduunka.

Dagaalka ama gardarrada waa dabeecad labartay oo wax lagu raadiyo.  Mararka qaarkood caruurtu dagaal iyo xumaan beey wax kaaga raadinayaan sababato oo ah wa’ay kugu dayeen wa’ayna u shaqeeysey.  Caruurta waxaa lagu caawin karaa in xumaantaan ay qaabilaan ay kubedeshaan wanaag iyo samaan ayadoo loo marayo daryeel wax ku ool ah iyo in xirfado cusub cunuga labaro.

Badanaa adadayga ay caruurtu muujiso waxay kamid tahay korinnimadooda. In caruurta labaro ereyada laxiriira waxa ay dareemayaan iyo iskaxamaynta waa muhiim sababta oo ah waxay baa bi’isaa dabeecadaha adag caruurtana waxay bartaa sida wanaagsan oo dadka loola dhaqmo.

Caruurta waxaa marar badan layiraahdaa “afka kahadla” si ay arintaa ugu guulaystaan waxy ubaahanyihiin in labaro ereyada dareenkooda laxiriira.  Macalimiintaan siyaabo badan ayeey caruurta ereyada ugu kobcin karaan ayagoo u aqrinaya buugta, tusaalayn siinaya iyo siyaabo kale oo kacaawin kara caruurta in ay kufiicnaadaan sida dadka looladhaqmo dabeecadaha adag nah ay kafogaadaan.

Waxaan si gaar ah ogabeeraan dagaynaa macluumaad ay soo saareen DEC iyo NAEYC oo ah ururo lashaqeeya caruurta.  Macluumaadkaasoo ah bayaankooda wadajirka iyo sida macluumaadkaas nooga caawinayo kobcinta kamidnoqoshoda goobta xanaanada iyo waxbarashada.  Sidoo kale, muhiimadda ay leedahay tageerada, kaqaybqaadashada iyo helitaanka fursadaha macluumaadkaan ayaa aas’aas u’ah baahida caruurta iyo shaqaalaha una ah xumin culus in lagu guulaysto kamidnoqoshada goobta wax barashada ubadka yar yar.
