Ayşegül's Children World, Who is Ayşegül Özer?
Ayşegül's Children World, children's play workshops, birthday organizations, mother-child activities, etc. We ensure that children and parents have a pleasant time by organizing events such as artistic activities. There are two turning points in my life. My first turning point was before the kids, and another one after the kids. If you allow, I would like to introduce myself after the children. I am the mother of two wonderful children. Perhaps the thing I enjoyed most and wanted most in this life was motherhood. It came to me with all its beauty. I am a mother of two children. I raise my children with my own dedication and my own knowledge of the truth. I feel very lucky to have such an opportunity. My gratitude to God is endless.
You are a very busy business woman. How do you make time for yourself in this busy schedule?
I like to have a planned day. I start the day very early. This allows me to do many of my jobs easily. I plan my day according to my children before and after school. I take care of my daily work, meetings and meals before school. I sleep early and wake up early on weekdays.
You are a name known for your entrepreneurial spirit. You have a workshop called Ayşegül's Children World. How did you come up with the idea of establishing such a workshop?
Yes; Because if there is life, there is production. Everyone has their own unique talents and skills.
The architect of my workshop idea is my daughter İpek. My daughter was a child who didn't want to be in too many crowds on her birthday. I think it was his 6th birthday. He invited his favorite cousins and a few of his favorite friends at home. I wanted it to be a workshop that would keep the children busy, so that they could have a productive time, develop their manual skills, and increase their visual intelligence. I called Ms. Meral, the rag doll instructor whom I met during our school's carnival, and invited her to my home.
My daughter had the opportunity to attend my first workshop. Ms. Meral is a wonderful woman and a wonderful designer.
She has been in this profession for 40 years and she is a lady who lives this life to the fullest. It is a great honor for me to mention Meral Osmancıoğlu in my interview. We started this journey with a workshop mindset. We received many invitations and took part in many projects. Working with him is incredibly peaceful and enjoyable. This is a very important detail and we feel very lucky in this regard.
What kind of work is done in your workshop?
I don't just have a rag doll workshop. I keep my workshop range wide. Because I think that every child likes to do different things, I have a Cup Cake workshop and a fragrant painting workshop. I say fragrant because our teacher wants them to feel the painting with its wonderful smells, sparkles, and favorite scents on the paintings they make. I would love for you to see those sparkles and sparkles. I also have a ceramic painting and wood workshop, and a jewelry and bag design workshop. It continues like this. In special invitations, we leave the option entirely to the child's own world.
What happens after the work done by the children in the activity?
Every workshop held belongs to our children themselves. They take their work home with pleasure. It's a great memory for them. Because they create magnificent works of art by combining their favorite colors with their own handiwork. This way, they don't actually forget about us. This is a very nice feeling for me. I love kids so much. It is a wonderful feeling to be understood by them. When children feel loved, they work more peacefully and with more pleasure in my workshop.
The best thing is that we not only turn on the songs that the children love and sing them together, but it is also very enjoyable for me to make the workshop enjoyable by dancing with the children who love to dance.
What was your purpose in establishing such a workshop? Did you achieve your intended goal?
My point is, since I am also a mother, our children are in the age of technology and spend time in front of a screen, sometimes useful but sometimes very harmful. I founded such a workshop because I thought it would be very useful for children to get 2 hours away from technology and socialize in order to reduce the damage a little. I can never reach my goal, and in order to reach it, all the children need to work in my workshop.
Does every child participate in your activities? What characteristics do children need to have to participate in this study?
We say the ideal age for us is 5. Because children who have completed their motor skills can only be happy in our workshop. But sometimes two brothers come. While one of them is doing it, this time his other brother wants to do it too. Our younger children are accompanied by their parents. There are no prohibitions and rules for us. There is only solution.
Your visual and screen aura is very high. Have you considered making a program about the competition with children on any TV channel?
My God, you have researched me very well and come here. (laughs) When these questions come from you to me, this is it. The question I specifically answered is among my dreams and goals. As you know, we went through a pandemic process for 2 years. We are at home, there is no guarantee of what will happen and we always get bad news. We went through such a real process. At that time, I made live broadcasts with children on social media in my favorite corner of my house, my balcony. They spoke and I listened, I spoke and they listened. We made great activities with simple materials found at home. Besides, my dream was to make a program based on the late Barış Manço's classic, where I would be together with children. This was impossible during the pandemic period. I opened a YouTube channel and prepared a competition program for children. I had 2 child contestants. I was asking 10 questions and making the winner happy with my little prizes. Yes, I have workshops, but I'm telling you this because you're asking what my dream is.
Taking part in a project with children on a good channel. Most of our prayers went to Acun Ilıcalı.
I feel like I will not give up on my dream, which I believe will come true. Let me call out to all media members from here.
How many people have a team spirit in this workshop? How do you carry out your work?
The instructor of each workshop is different and always available. We take shape according to the program flow.
Will you have different works and projects other than the workshop?
We discover new things in life that we did not know. But one thing I have is on the side of children. I don't want to give up this world with them. I want to be remembered as Ayşegül's sisters.
Finally, what would you like to say in general terms?
I started with my motherhood, let me end with my motherhood. I give this message to my children about life and I always emphasize it. “PRODUCING, PRODUCING, PRODUCING AND NEVER GIVING UP”. No matter what, the path you believe in is your path, never give up. Please remember that our dreams FEED "OUR SOUL" and our goals "FEED US" I also write my own articles from time to time. (laughs) I guess this is what growing up and maturing is like. They say life is short, but I always argue the opposite. Life is what you can fit into it. Life can offer us everything, good or bad. You just have to believe that everything is a temporary process. So make your precious times precious and precious.
Stay with my love.
