Free childcare for 2 year olds
1
Overview
Free childcare (also known as free entitlement) is provided by the Government. It allows some 2 year olds access to free, good quality, flexible early education or childcare.
The activities you do at home enhance your child’s all-round development. It is well documented that high quality early education can influence how well a child does at both primary and secondary school. Read more about the benefits of free childcare for you and your child.
Children can use up to 570 hours each year, or a maximum of 15 hours over 38 weeks, from a pre-school, nursery or accredited childminder registered to offer free places, along with some holiday playschemes meeting specific criteria.
To be authorised to offer free childcare, the childcare provider should be rated ‘Good’ or ‘Outstanding’ in their most recent Ofsted report.
Most families will be better off claiming free childcare than paying for childcare using Tax Credits. If you are eligible for the childcare element of Working Tax Credit/Universal Credit, check if your claim is affected by contacting Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC).

Is my child eligible for free childcare?
Forty per cent of 2 year olds are eligible for free entitlement. To qualify, the child must be of eligible age and the parent(s) in receipt of one or more of the following income-based benefits:
Income Support
Guaranteed element of State Pension Credit
Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance
Income-related Employment and Support Allowance
Support under Part 6 of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
Universal Credit, and your household income is £15,400 a year or less after tax, not including benefit payments
Child Tax Credit, but you are not also in receipt of Working Tax Credit and your household income is £16,190 a year or less before tax
Working Tax Credit, but you are not also in receipt of Child Tax Credit and your household income is £16,190 a year or less before tax
Working Tax Credit 4-week run on (the payment you get when you stop qualifying for Working Tax Credit), and your household income is £16,190 a year or less before tax.
Or the child meets one of the following other criteria:
They are a Child Looked After (where the County Council acts as the corporate parent).
They are adopted*.
They have a Special Guardianship Order*.
They have a special educational need or a disability (SEND). These children are eligible if the child either:
receives Disability Living Allowance*
has a current Education, Health and Care (EHC) Plan*.
They are a child of Zambrano Carers (person from a non-EEA state whose residence is required in order to enable a child or dependant adult, who is British, to live in the UK)**.
They are a child of a family with no recourse to public funds with a right to remain in the UK on grounds of private/family life under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights**.
They are a child of a subset of failed asylum seekers (supported under section 4 of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 – ‘the 1999 Act’).
*You will need to provide evidence when you apply.
**Their parents or carers (and their partner if they have one) must meet the low level income requirements, for example, a net income threshold of £15,400.
An eligible child born on or between:
1 April and 31 August – can apply online for free childcare for 2 year olds from 1 April. If the application is approved, can then access a free place from the beginning of the term starting in September, following their second birthday.

How to use and claim free childcare
If you are awarded free childcare, you should do the following:
1. Find out about the types of childcare providers that offer funded places for 2 year olds on Childcare options.
2. Use the Family Information Service’s searchable database or contact us for a list of childcare providers who offer free childcare places.
3. Contact a range of childcare providers to see if they have a vacancy for your child. Arrange to visit as many as you wish and choose the one(s) which best meets your and your child’s needs. Find additional information about what to consider.
4. Tell your chosen childcare provider(s) that you wish to access free childcare for your child. You will need to give them the unique reference number that is written on your award letter. They need this number so we can arrange for funding to be paid directly to them.
5. You will be asked to complete and sign a ‘parent declaration’ form, including:
your address
your child’s legal name and date of birth (bring evidence such as a passport or birth certificate)
how many hours you wish to claim
your child’s pattern of attendance (the days and hours they will be there).
The childcare provider will do the rest. If you need help, contact us.
5
Additional information
As a parent, you know your child best and should discuss your child’s needs with the childcare provider to help you decide how often your child should attend. A regular pattern of attendance is important to ensure your child’s continued development. You should aim to use your chosen childcare provider for as long as possible, avoiding the need to move your child every few months or term.
Providers that are open all year round may offer parents the flexibility to stretch the hours across the whole year, reducing the number of hours available each week, so that you do not exceed the yearly maximum. Note that this may result in slightly less hours per year, for example 11 hours per week for 51 weeks (561 hours per year) instead of 15 hours for 38 weeks (570 hours per year). Check this with your chosen childcare provider.
You can read the terms and conditions that childcare providers must follow in the provider declaration. Ensure you fully understand and agree to any terms and conditions before you accept a place.
Not all childcare providers will be able to deliver your preferred days/hours. However, the flexibility you need may be achieved by using more than one childcare provider, but not on more than two sites in one day. You must let the childcare provider know if you intend to split the funding across more than one childcare provider.
If you are planning to only access your child’s free hours, childcare providers must ensure that no fees or conditions of access are charged, including:
no registration/administration fees or non-refundable deposits
no requirement for a child to access additional hours on top of the free hours
no requirement for the child to access additional weeks on top of the funded weeks.
Your childcare provider should not charge you as the funding is for a free place rather than a subsidy towards your fees. However, they can set their own rates for any additional time or services that you take. They should let you know in advance what you will be expected to pay. You may be able to get extra help with any additional costs of your childcare place.
It is important you fully understand the childcare provider’s admissions policy, which services are included, what they may charge for and any dates by which you need to make a claim.

Check your eligibility on our parent portal.
If eligible, the system will give you a code, which you can give to your chosen childcare provider to claim the free childcare.
Start dates for free childcare places
Eligible two year olds can start receiving their entitlement the term after their second birthday.
Birthdays between 1 September and 31 December, funding starts in the spring term (January)
Birthdays between 1 January and 31 March, funding starts in the summer term (April)
Birthdays between 1 April and 31 August, funding starts in the autumn term (September)
Number of hours entitled to
Eligible 2 year olds are entitled to 570 hours of free early education per year. It’s usually taken as 15 hours a week over 38 weeks of the year (split into three terms).
However, if your child‘s provider is open all year round, such as a day nursery, the free hours will be spread equally over those weeks. For example, if your child attends a provider that is open for 51 weeks a year, they will receive 11 hours a week.
National limits
National limits are set by the government about how the free sessions can be offered meaning that:
no session can be longer than 10 hours
a maximum of 15 hours per week can be taken over a minimum of two days
you can use your free childcare during the weekends as well
You can discuss with the provider how your free hours can be taken. Some may offer set days and times, whereas others may be more flexible. If needed, you can purchase additional hours of childcare.
Finding a provider
A variety of providers offer free early education and childcare for two-year-olds, including:
day nurseries
pre-schools or playgroups
childminders
nursery schools
For a list of childcare providers in your area offering funded spaces, please contact Early Years & Childcare Team on 0208 496 3566 or email [email protected].
Once you have chosen your preferred childcare setting, contact them directly to arrange for your child to start.
If you would like to take up any additional hours outside the Free Early Education Entitlement, the childcare provider will invoice you accordingly.
Please note that taking up a nursery place at a school does not guarantee a reception or Year 1 place at that school. There is a completely separate admissions procedure for reception and Year 1 classes in a school.
Quality of Free Early Education providers
Free Early Education Entitlement (FEEE) providers must be:
registered with Ofsted/DfE
issued with a contract by the Local Authority to do this.
To get a contract from the Local Authority, they must demonstrate their understanding of the legal and statutory requirements they must comply with:
planning and building regulations,
health and safety(including premises statutory compliance),
employment law
safeguarding
finance
Providers who fail to demonstrate that they have an understanding of and comply with the requirements covered by the compliance checks, will not be commissioned by the Local Authority as providers.

Working Families | England – Free childcare for children aged 2, 3 & 4
Last updated: 20 Apr 2022
In England, there are three government-funded early education schemes that offer free childcare for children aged two, three and four:
15 hours free childcare for eligible 2-year-olds
15 hours free childcare for all 3 and 4-year-olds
30 hours free childcare for eligible 3 and 4 year-olds
These schemes are only available to families living in England, although similar schemes are available in Scotland and Wales.
Each of the free childcare schemes has different eligibility rules so it’s important to check which of the schemes is right for you. More information on each scheme is outlined below, followed by frequently asked questions and information on how to apply for each scheme.
15 hours free childcare for 2-year-olds
In order to be eligible for free childcare for your two-year-old, you must either be in receipt of a qualifying benefit or your 2-year-old child must fit into one of the categories of children who have additional needs.
The qualifying benefits are:
Income Support
income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance (JSA)
income-related Employment and Support Allowance (ESA)
Universal Credit – if you and your partner are on a low income from work (this usually means a combined income no more than £15,400 a year after tax)
Child Tax Credit and your family have an annual income of no more than £16,190 before tax
the guaranteed element of State Pension Credit
support through part 6 of the Immigration and Asylum Act
the Working Tax Credit 4-week run on (the payment you get when you stop qualifying for Working Tax Credit)
Note: If you do not qualify for the benefits above because you are subject to immigration control, you may still qualify for 15 hours free childcare. You must still be on a low income (see FAQ below).
Even if you are not receiving a qualifying benefit your 2-year-old can still get free childcare if any of the following apply:
they’re looked after by a local council
they have a current statement of special education needs (SEN) or an education, health and care (EHC) plan
they get Disability Living Allowance
they’ve left care under a special guardianship order, child arrangements order or adoption order
you can’t claim benefits because of your asylum seeker status or a no recourse to public funds condition. This only applies in specific circumstances – see FAQ below.
Contact your childcare provider or local council to find out how to apply or if you need further guidance.
15 hours free childcare for 3 and 4-year-olds
This scheme is universal and open to all 3 and 4-year olds. There are no earnings or work requirements.
You should be able to start receiving the childcare from 1 January, 1 April or 1 September following your child’s 3rd birthday.
Contact your childcare provider or local council if you need further guidance.
30 hours free childcare for 3 and 4-year olds
To be eligible for 30 hours free childcare for your 3 or 4-year-old, you and your partner must each expect to earn (on average) the equivalent of working 16 hours a week at your national minimum wage (£152 per week, less if you are under 23).
You will still be treated as meeting the earnings requirement if you or your partner are on maternity, paternity or adoption leave – this applies whether you are single or a couple. The earnings requirement also does not apply if you are self-employed and you started your business less than 12 months ago.
You are not usually able to use the scheme if either you or your partner has a taxable income over £100,000.
To receive 30 hours free childcare you will need to apply online through gov. uk. After registering for an account, you will get a code that you can take to your childcare provider. You need to apply before the term starts or you will have wait until the beginning of the next term.
There is a government helpline if you need help with the application.
Frequently asked questions
Below is a summary of the most frequently asked questions we receive about the free childcare schemes on our helpline.
Eligibility
I am on a visa and have no recourse to public funds. Am I still eligible for free childcare?
Government funded early education and childcare is not a ‘public fund’ for immigration purposes, so can be accessed by a child regardless of their immigration status. However, some schemes have eligibility requirements relating to the immigration status of the parent(s) and so may not be available to all families.
15 hours for 2-year-olds
If you are on a visa with no recourse to public funds (NRPF), you are likely to be restricted from receiving a qualifying benefit because most of them are considered ‘public funds’.
Parents with certain types of NRPF visas can access 15 hours free childcare for their 2-year-old child. To be eligible, you must have one of the following types of immigration statuses:
Zambrano carer (derivative right to reside in the UK under European law as the primary carer of a British child or dependent adult).
Leave to remain with NRPF granted on family or private life (Article 8) grounds.
You have claimed asylum in the UK, you are waiting for a decision and you are getting support from the Home Office (‘Part 6’ support).
‘Appeal rights exhausted’ (ARE) asylum seeker receiving asylum support from the Home Office under section 4 of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999.
If you meet conditions 1 or 2 above, you must also be on a low income to qualify. This means you and your partner must have a combined income no more than than £15,400 per year after tax.
You can also apply if your child if your child:
is looked after by a local council
has a current statement of special education needs (SEN) or an education, health and care (EHC) plan
gets Disability Living Allowance
has left care under a special guardianship order, child arrangements order or adoption order
15 hours for 3 and 4-year olds
If you are not allowed to receive public funds due to your immigration status, you can still use 15 hours free childcare for 3 and 4-year-olds.
15 hours per week of free childcare is universal for all children aged 3 to 4 years old. Children can benefit regardless of their, or their parent’s, immigration status.
Contact your childcare provider or local council if you need further guidance.
30 hours for 3 and 4-year olds
You may not be able to apply for 30 hours free childcare for 3 and 4 year olds. The parent who applies for 30 free hours will need to meet a residence requirement. In order to meet the requirement, the parent applying must have one of the following:
British or Irish citizenship
Settled or pre-settled status granted under the EU Settlement Scheme
A pending EU Settlement Scheme application
Immigration permission that allows access to public funds, such as indefinite leave to remain or refugee leave
A parent who has NRPF will not meet the residence requirement. In two-parent households, at least one parent on the application will need to meet the residence requirement. If a single parent or both parents in a household have NRPF, the family will be unable to access 30 hours childcare.
For more information on eligibility and how to apply, see the government site.
I’m claiming free childcare, but my circumstances have changed. Will it affect my eligibility?
15 hours for 2-year-olds
Once you have been accepted for 15 hours free childcare for 2-year-olds, your child will continue to receive free childcare even if you have a change of circumstances, such as an increase in income or no longer qualifying for benefits.
30 hours for 3 and 4-year olds
A change in circumstances may affect your eligibility for 30 hours free childcare. In order to be eligible, you must apply for a code to give to your childcare provider. Codes expire after three months, so you must reconfirm your eligibility to obtain a new code which means you must continue to earn or expect to earn enough to satisfy the earnings requirement.
If your circumstances change and you are no longer eligible for 30 free hours when it comes time to reconfirm, you will be given a grace period. This is a short period of time for you to be able to get back to eligibility, and your child will retain their 30 hour placement.
If after the end of the grace period, you are still not eligible for 30 free hours, your child will still be entitled to 15 free hours because it is a universal entitlement. You can apply for 30 free hours again in the future if you become eligible.
If you have questions about reconfirmation and grace periods, speak to the government helpline.
My child is turning 5 but isn’t starting school yet. Are we still eligible for 15/30 free hours?
15/30 hours free childcare for 3 and 4-year olds stops when your child reaches the compulsory school age and starts in reception class (not when they turn 5).
According to statutory guidance for local authorities on the free childcare schemes, a child is required to start reception on the 31st March, 31st August or 31st December after their 5th birthday. This will be the same day that they stop being eligible for 15/30 free hours.
Contact your childcare provider or local council if you need further guidance.
I am a student. Am I eligible for free childcare?
You can be, if you meet the eligibility requirements. If you are in receipt of a qualifying benefit, you may be eligible for 15 free hours for 2 year olds. If you work and earn enough to satisfy the earnings requirement, you may be eligible for 30 free hours for 3 and 4 year olds.
You may also be eligible for help through Care to Learn, Childcare Grant, and the Parents’ Learning Allowance. For more information, see our article on pregnancy and maternity for students.
Eligibility – 30 free hours
I’m on maternity or statutory family leave. Am I still eligible for 30 free hours childcare?
Yes, you will still be treated as meeting the earnings requirement for 30 free hours childcare if you or your partner are on maternity, paternity, adoption and shared parental leave, even if you are on unpaid leave. This is because you’re treated as working while on maternity, paternity, adoption and shared parental leave, even if you’re not longer getting any pay. So you should still be entitled to the 30 hours, as long as your partner also meets the conditions.
I’m on sick leave. Am I still eligible for 30 free hours?
You can usually still get 30 hours free childcare if you are on paid sick leave, either paid by your employer or on Statutory Sick Pay (SSP). Normally, HMRC treat those on sick leave as in work.
If you are not in receipt of SSP or another benefit such as Employment and Support Allowance, you may still be entitled to 30 free hours but you may be asked to submit proof of sickness, such as fit notes from your GP, to HMRC when reconfirming your eligibility.
If you have further questions about reconfirmation and eligibility while on sick leave, speak to the government helpline.
I am unable to work because I’m disabled or a carer.
Can I still be eligible for 30 free hours?
If you are in a couple, and one of you meets the earnings requirements but one of you is unable to work because you have a disability or you are a carer, then you will be exempt from the earnings requirement.
In this circumstance, one of you must be working and the other would need to provide evidence that you are unable to work by showing that you are receiving Incapacity Benefit, Severe Disablement Allowance, Carer’s Allowance, Employment and Support Allowance, or the carer element or the limited capability for work and work-related activity element of Universal Credit.
My partner is self-employed. Can we still be eligible for 30 free hours?
Yes. To be eligible for 30 hours free childcare, you and your partner must be working (either employed or self-employed) and each expect to earn (on average) the equivalent of working 16 hours a week at the national minimum wage for people over 23 (£1,853.28 every 3 months).
This earnings requirement will not apply if your partner is self-employed and started their business less than 12 months ago.
If your partner is self-employed and does not expect to make enough profit in the next 3 months to meet the earnings threshold, they can use an average of how much they expect to make over the current tax year.
HMRC may penalise you if you are careless or dishonest when you apply for or reconfirm your eligibility for 30 hours free childcare. However, there is no penalty if you genuinely expect to earn the required amount, but are not able to.
Together my partner and I earn over £100,000. Are we still eligible for 30 free hours?
You are not usually able to use the 30 free hours scheme if either you or your partner individually has a taxable income over £100,000.
You will still be eligible for 30 free hours childcare if your combined income is greater than £100,000, as long as individually neither of you earn greater than that amount.
I am an apprentice and work full time. Can I apply for 30 free hours childcare?
Yes, as long as you meet the earnings threshold. To be eligible for 30 hours free childcare for your 3 or 4-year-old, you, and any partner, must each expect to earn (on average) the equivalent of working 16 hours a week at your national minimum wage.
I missed the reconfirmation deadline for 30 free hours. Can I still recieve 30 free hours?
HMRC manages the application process and sends out reminders to parents about the need to reconfirm their eligibility for 30 free hours childcare every three months.
If you miss the reconfirmation deadline, you should receive a message telling you that you are no longer eligible for 30 hours childcare. You should be given a ‘grace period’ so that your child can continue with their free place for a short period of time.
If you are still eligible for 30 free hours, you can make a new application for 30 hours. If your circumstances change and you are no longer eligible for the additional 15 hours of free childcare, you can still access the 15-hour universal entitlement.
If you have questions about reconfirmation and grace periods, speak to the government helpline.
Applying for free hours entitlement
How do I apply?
15 hours for 2-year-olds
How you apply for 15 free hours for 2 year olds depends on your local council and how they run the scheme. You should contact your childcare provider or local council to find out how to apply. You may need to apply through your local council, or you may be able to apply through your childcare provider.
15 hours for 3 and 4-year-olds
You do not need to apply for 15 free hours for 3 and 4-year-olds because it is a universal entitlement. You should speak to your childcare provider who should be able to claim the free hours on your behalf. If you have any further questions, you should speak to your local council who are responsible for ensuring that there are a sufficient number of free entitlement spaces.
30 hours for 3 and 4-year-olds
To receive 30 hours free childcare you will need to apply online through gov.uk. After registering for an account, you will get a code that you can take to your childcare provider. You need to apply before the term starts or you will have wait until the beginning of the next term. There is a government helpline if you need help with this.
When should I apply and when can my child access free entitlement?
15 hours for 2-year-olds
The earliest you can apply is at the start of the term in which your child turns 2. The childcare will not actually start until the beginning of the term after you apply (either 1 January, 1 April or 1 September).
For instance, if your child turns 2 on 15 February, you can apply during the term that begins on on 1 January and your child can start during the term starting on 1 April.
15/30 hours for 3 and 4-year-olds
The earliest you can apply is at the start of the term in which your child turns 3. The childcare will not actually start until the beginning of the term after you apply (either 1 January, 1 April or 1 September).
For instance, if your child turns 3 on 15 June, you can apply during the term that begins on on 1 April and your child can start during the term starting on 1 September.
I am due to start/return to work soon. Do I have to wait until I start work to apply for 30 free hours?
No. If you are due to start work (or return to work) within the next 31 days, you can apply for 30 free hours as long as you expect to earn on average the equivalent of working 16 hours on the national minimum wage.
To receive 30 hours free childcare you will need to apply online through gov.uk. After registering for an account, you will get a code that you can take to your childcare provider. You need to apply before the term starts or you will have wait until the beginning of the next term. There is a government helpline if you need help with this.
Using the free hours entitlement
My childcare provider says I must use the free hours in a particular way. Are they correct?
Each childcare provider has a different approach to the government scheme, and how the free hours are used are typically down to your agreement with them. If you have an issue, you should speak to your childcare provider or your local council.
The 15 hours entitlement is usually taken over 38 weeks of the year. With the agreement of your childcare provider, you can use the hours in term time only or stretch the hours over more than 38 weeks. If you stretch the hours out over 52 weeks, you will be entitled to 11 hours per week.
Similarly with 30 hours entitlement, it can be taken over 38 weeks or stretched to cover the whole year depending on what your childcare provider offers. If you stretch the entitlement, you would receive 22 free hours per week.
The statutory limits say that you can claim a maximum of 10 hours on one day. The minimum is 3 hours in one day.
Some childcare providers are flexible in their approach, and others require you to use the free hours in a particular way (e.g. in a set number of full days or half days). This is typically down to your agreement with them.

Frequently asked questions
What is the entitlement?
The hours and sessions which are available for funded childcare will depend on the individual childcare setting and will need to be agreed in advance. There should not be any additional costs attached to claiming the funded hours, such as top up fees or uniform charges.
What are the benefits for my child?
Children benefit from early learning, we know this from research. Good quality early learning:
helps your child to be happy, confident, sociable and curious
gives opportunities to be active and learn through fun and play, indoors and outdoors
offers many activities including creative and messy play
helps them to become effective learners and ready for school
has a long term impact on their development
How do I find a place?
You can find a list of childcare providers near where you live who have been approved to offer free places for 2 year olds on the Cambridgeshire Online Directory. You can then contact the childcare provider directly to see if they have any vacancies. It is best to do this as soon as possible, because some childcare settings have long waiting lists. Visit the Finding a childcare place page for more information.
If your child already attends childcare, please ask your childcare provider if they offer free places for 2 year olds.
If you need further support you can visit your nearest Child and Family Centre.
If Peterborough City Council is your local authority, you can apply for free childcare on their website.
Will it affect my tax credits?
Childcare costs are included in the calculations made by HMRC to ensure that you receive the right amount of credit that you are entitled to. If you already pay for childcare and claim child tax credit to cover the cost, you must notify HMRC as soon as possible if taking up a free place reduces the cost of your childcare by £10 or more a week.
You do not need to notify HMRC if your cost does not change, for example if you use the free childcare to increase the number of hours your child attends. You will always be better off taking up a free place as tax credits only contribute to a part of the full cost of childcare and not all of it.
There is HMRC guidance for parents or carers who may be having difficulty claiming childcare support through tax credits or childcare vouchers if their childcare provider is a school.

Early learning and childcare expansion – Early education and care
Please note that the ELC expansion has been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Please visit the Parent Club for the latest news and answers to some of the questions you might have.
Funded early learning and childcare (ELC) is available to all three and four year olds and eligible two year olds. From August 2021, the entitlement will increase to 1,140 hours a year (30 hours a week if taken term time).
The expansion of funded ELC, originally intended for August 2020, was paused in April to give local authorities the flexibility to focus on responding to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The new date of August 2021 has now been agreed with local authority umbrella group COSLA. The Scottish Government will pass legislation in early 2021 so that this duty will come into force from August 2021. We published our joint implementation plan for funded early learning and childcare places for all children who defer their primary one start in December 2020.
The main aims of the expansion in ELC are to:
• improve children’s outcomes and help close the poverty-related attainment gap • increase family resilience through improved health and wellbeing of children and parents • support parents into work, study or training
If you are a parent or carer you can get information on early learning and childcare on the Parent Club website.
Support for local authorities
Local authorities are responsible for ensuring that funded entitlement is available for all eligible children in their area. We are supporting them to build the capacity needed in their communities to phase in extended entitlement. We have a multi-year capital and revenue funding agreement in place with the Convention of Scottish Local Authorities (COSLA) which is fully funding the expansion in funded entitlement.
This will see annual revenue investment increase by £567 million on 2016-17 levels by 2021-22. It includes funding to enable the payment of sustainable rates to funded providers delivering the funded entitlement – including funding to enable payment of at least the real Living Wage to all childcare workers delivering the funded entitlement. We have also provided councils with capital funding of £476 million to support associated building projects.
Support and guidance for ELC providers
To find out how to become a funded provider you can contact your local authority’s ELC team or visit their website to find out more.
We published a delivery support plan for providers in December 2018, outlining our support in four areas:
financial sustainability
partnership working
workforce recruitment and training
communications with parents and carers
ELC providers can also find out about support for their business by contacting their local Business Gateway office.
We have worked with COSLA to set up an ELC Partnership Forum to promote joint working with and across the ELC sector.
Partnership Principles between COSLA and the ELC representative bodies
Funded providers can register an interest in joining the forum by emailing: [email protected]
We have also developed a 12-step guide for ELC providers to support them with recruitment and training.
Progress of the ELC expansion programme
When the extent of the COVID-19 pandemic became clear, the Scottish Government took the difficult decision to suspend the statutory duty on local authorities to provide 1140 hours of early learning and childcare from this August. The increase to 1140 hours will now take place from August 2021 but from now until then, all eligible children across Scotland will be able to access at least 600 hours of funded ELC. Many authorities are already offering 1140 hours in advance of this statutory duty, to some or all eligible children.
ELC for two year old children
We know that high quality early learning and childcare (ELC) can make a huge difference to children’s lives, particularly when they are growing up in more disadvantaged circumstances.
That is why we offer funded ELC to two year olds who are most likely to benefit from early access.
This includes all looked after children and children whose family receive a qualifying benefit, which is around a quarter of the two year old population.
Increasing uptake and awareness
We are working with local authorities and others to increase awareness and uptake of the two year old offer, and improving information available to parents and carers.
For example, we provide information and advice about ELC options on the Parent Club website and the Children and Young People Improvement Collaborative has been testing approaches to improve the uptake of funded ELC for eligible two year olds.
To inform our work in this area, we commissioned research on the drivers and barriers to uptake amongst two year olds.
Background
Prior to 2014, three and four year olds were entitled to 475 hours per year of free pre-school education. The Children and Young People (Scotland) Act 2014 extended provision to 600 hours for all three and four year olds and for two year olds who were looked after (including those in kinship care) and those whose parents were in receipt of out of work benefits.
From August 2015, we extended provision for two year olds further to those whose families meet the eligibility criteria for free school meals
National Standard for early learning and childcare
To ensure that all children experience the highest quality of early learning and childcare (ELC) the sector is working towards the full introduction of Funding Follows the Child in August 2021.
Funding Follows the Child is ‘provider neutral’ and is underpinned by a National Standard that to be a funded provider – regardless of whether they are in the public, private or third sector, or childminders – settings will have to meet.
Funding follows the child will help increase choice and flexibility for parents and carers whilst ensuring children benefit from high quality provision.
It means that parents and carers – including those of eligible two years olds – will be able to choose to use their child’s entitlement at any ELC provider that:
meets the National Standard
has a place available and
is willing to enter into a contract with the local authority
The National Standard sets out what children and families should expect from their early learning experience regardless of where they access their child’s funded hours.
The National Standard will be introduced in full from August 2021. In the meantime, it is expected that the majority of the National Standard should still be deliverable, although some flexibility will be required on certain aspects.
Further information is provided in the Interim Guidance on Funding Follows the Child and National Standard requirements for settings and local authorities.
Helping ELC providers meet the National Standard
We have published operating guidance detailing how settings delivering the funded entitlement can meet the National Standard.
We have also published a frequently asked questions document for local authorities and funded providers.
Supporting technical guidance is also available covering business sustainability, sustainable rates and transition options guidance on contracting.
We developed Funding Follows the Child in partnership with COSLA and local authorities, through a Service Models Working Group, with the final approach informed by a consultation, and a supporting programme of engagement with stakeholders, in 2018.
ELC workforce
To create capacity for the increase in ELC workforce required to deliver the 1140 hours expansion, since 2017 we have increased training opportunities and routes into all parts of the sector, resulting in a record workforce of over 37,000.
To support this, we have run several bursts of a national recruitment campaign to attract people to a career in ELC, linked to our national childcare careers website, which has a Live Jobs Feed, as well as a range of information about routes into ELC and childminding, and career pathways.
And we have worked with the Scottish Funding Council and Skills Development Scotland to create additional capacity in the college, university and work-based learning sectors to train the additional staff required for the ELC expansion.
As well as creating new employment opportunities, the expansion of funded ELC provides an opportunity to increase the diversity of the childcare workforce, including attracting more males and people from diverse ethnic communities into the sector.
Pay and conditions
We understand the importance of promoting fair work practices across the ELC sector, including ensuring that staff are fairly remunerated.
Public sector staff working in ELC already receive the Living Wage, and we want to see all childcare workers delivering the funded entitlement across all sectors paid at least this from 2020.
To support this we will provide local authorities with sufficient funding to allow them to agree sustainable rates with funded providers in the private and third sectors.
We will also provide targeted advice and support to providers on implementing Fair Work practices.
Early learning support for deprived communities
We have been working with local authorities to ensure that nurseries in Scotland’s most deprived areas benefit from an equity and excellence lead (an additional graduate).
These are highly qualified posts, that can be either a teacher or early years graduate with or working towards, for example the BA in Childhood Practice.
Equity and excellence lead role
The role of equity and excellence lead is primarily focused on leading support for the most disadvantaged children to close the attainment gap.
This involves working directly with children and does not focus on managerial responsibilities e.g. administration and payroll.
Another key role is to lead and support pedagogy in a setting, upskilling fellow practitioners.
Leads are not tied to the settings’ adult-child ratios like other staff and therefore have greater flexibility and reflection time for this purpose. Local authorities have been given freedom to utilise leads depending on their local needs and the leads experience, therefore the roles focus may differ across settings.
Outdoor play and learning
Outdoor play and learning is an integral, every day, part of ELC in Scotland.
We know the benefits of high quality outdoor play on children’s positive physical and mental development. It is our vision that children in Scotland’s ELC sector will soon spend as much time outdoors as they do indoors.
To support this we will be working with practitioners to develop strong communities of practice, enabling these high quality experiences to become the norm.
During the COVID-19 pandemic we funded the charity Living Classrooms £159,000 to expand their Virtual Nature School. The programme trained ELC practitioners to deliver nature based play sessions, supporting children and families who were unable to attend their settings.
To support local authorities with their use of outdoor play and learning, Scottish Government and the Children and Young People’s Improvement Collaborative (CYPIC) are running an Improvement Practicum from Autumn 2020. Local Authorities will shortly be invited to apply for a place in the practicum which will use improvement methodology to develop the use of the outdoors in early learning and childcare settings.
In 2018-2020 we provided more than £860,000 of funding to the charity Inspiring Scotland, to work with local authorities and the ELC sector to expand outdoor learning spaces for children. Together with Inspiring Scotland, we published Scotland’s Coalition for Outdoor Play and Learning position statement which commits the signatories to embedding playing and learning outdoors as an everyday activity and to celebrate it as a fundamental part of growing up in Scotland.
Guidance for ELC practitioners
We have produced a guide for ELC practitioners, Out to Play, which provides practical advice on setting up and delivering outdoor spaces. With the support of Inspiring Scotland, we will be updating this guidance in 2020 with additional materials to support the Out of School Care, Childminding and Additional Support Needs sectors.
We have also published design guidance for the provision of high quality outdoor spaces for early learning and childcare and out of school care settings.
There is also a range of resources on Education Scotland’s National Improvement Hub to provide support for professional development in outdoor learning across the 3-18 curriculum.
Personal hygiene of children from 1 to 3 years. Baby care and water treatments | Mamovediya
Personal hygiene of a child is understood as a set of useful skills of neatness and cleanliness, aimed primarily at maintaining and strengthening his health, and preventing diseases. The most important thing is to keep the child’s body clean, his things, toys, in a word, everything that surrounds him.
Regular skin care is necessary because the baby’s skin is very delicate and easily damaged. The slightest errors in care – the child was not washed in time, wrapped up – and diaper rash, prickly heat immediately appear, causing a burning sensation and itching, sometimes becoming the cause of the child’s restless behavior.
A child’s day should begin and end with washing and rinsing. In addition, during the day, you can repeatedly wash and wash the baby as needed. When washing, roll up the sleeves of a shirt or dress so that the baby does not wet them.
From the age of two, the child can be given the opportunity to wash himself. Usually babies experience great pleasure splashing in the water, and this desire of the baby should be used to form a useful skill.
Be sure to show how to properly wash your hands, wash your face, use soap and a towel. The kid should get used to washing his hands before every meal – this is the first of the most useful hygiene skills, it should be fixed as early as possible – in our time, unfortunately, the diseases of “dirty hands” have not yet disappeared.
Bathing a child is an important hygiene procedure. For babies aged 1 year and older, it is recommended at least 2 times a week before bed at night. After a year, the baby can be bathed in the bath, and a shower is useful for a child over two years old. When bathing, the baby’s body is washed with a washcloth, sponge or terry mitten with soap. Then rinse and wipe dry with a towel specially allocated for this.
On days when the baby is not bathed, before going to bed, be sure to wash him and wash his feet. Only after carrying out these indispensable procedures, you can put the child to sleep at night.
Teach your baby to water procedures that pursue a hygienic purpose: in the morning – washing the upper half of the body, and in the evening – the lower.
Few of the children willingly accept cutting of nails and hair, nevertheless their hygienic significance is great. Nails should be cut in the same way for both boys and girls as needed, using small scissors with curved ends.
Most parents trust hairdressers to cut their hair. In large cities there are special children’s hairdressers, where they make neat and modern haircuts for boys and girls.
However, for many girls, their parents keep their hair long, even though it gives them more trouble than a short haircut. It is necessary to take care of the baby’s long hair skillfully, without causing her discomfort when combing and washing her hair. Pain during these procedures can cause a girl’s persistent negative reaction and make it difficult to care for her hair.
When washing hair, make sure that soap does not get on the child’s face and eyes. To do this, tilt your baby’s head back and, in this position, wash the soap out of the hair with a shower or running tap water. It is better to comb the hair after washing when it is wet – they are less tangled and the child is not so hurt.
It is of great hygienic importance to educate the child in the skills of accuracy during meals, the ability to use a napkin . Teach your child to rinse his mouth after eating, freeing him from food debris. The kid should be able to brush his teeth with a children’s toothbrush, special powder or paste. In addition, he must be taught how to use a handkerchief. The child should have his own handkerchief and use it not only when there is a need to wipe his nose, mouth or hands, but also be able to cover himself with a handkerchief or palm when sneezing and coughing.
Adult caregivers should also practice basic personal hygiene, as this is very important for their baby’s health.
First of all, you need to monitor your health: lead a proper lifestyle, play sports, eliminate bad habits, observe the correct daily routine .
Every morning you should do morning exercises, monitor your oral cavity – brush your teeth at least 2 times a day for two minutes, rinse your mouth after each meal, thereby preventing dental disease or bad breath.
Only healthy persons may take care of the child. If one of the parents falls ill, then the baby should be isolated from him until recovery occurs. Dishes of adult family members should be stored separately from children’s in order to protect the child from possible infection in time.
The apartment where the baby lives should be clean, light and well ventilated. Wet cleaning of the premises should be carried out regularly. The mother and father of the child must carefully monitor the cleanliness of their body, hands, clothes. Coming home from work, you can not immediately approach the baby and even more so take him in your arms until you change your work clothes for home clothes, wash your hands and face.
Caregivers of small children should keep their nails short. Long nails, firstly, can easily injure thin delicate children’s skin, and secondly, dirt and a large number of a wide variety of microbes often accumulate under them, which can cause diseases of the child.
If you have to work with dirt, use gloves that protect your hands well. To prevent irritation, cleanly washed hand skin after work is recommended to be lubricated with any nourishing cream.
Make it a rule when you come home to change shoes, change into home clothes, wash your face and only after that take the child in your arms.
It is very important to take care of your appearance so that at home, as well as at work, you are always neatly dressed and combed. Your smart and neat appearance makes a good impression on the child, shows him a positive example of behavior.
Remember that only daily and regular hygienic education and parental control can achieve the formation and consolidation of the child’s ability to observe the rules of personal hygiene.

Introduction. WONDER OF NATURE
A newborn baby is an amazing creature. Weak and helpless, he is able to endure stress that would overwhelm an adult with relative ease.
It’s no joke to suddenly find yourself in a completely unusual external environment, and even if necessary, instantly switch to a new way of breathing, blood circulation, and then nutrition!
He is still very small, but this small fragile body contains a powerful growth potential. His digestive organs are able to absorb 600-700 g of mother’s milk per day – this is a fifth of his body weight!
A newborn comes into the world with a sufficient supply of various reflexes. It is worth touching a finger to his lips, and he pulls them out, preparing to start sucking. If you drop some sweet solution on his tongue, he will suck it in, smacking his lips, and vice versa: getting sour or salty into the baby’s mouth will cause a backlash – he will wrinkle, scream, try to clear his throat. A loud sudden sound will make him alert, he will wrinkle his forehead, as if listening, get worried.
The baby distinguishes smells and recognizes his mother by the smell of milk, which is associated for him with pleasant sensations. But the most amazing thing is that the newborn has personality and character! Recent studies have shown how different the reactions of newborns to the same stimuli can be, how different, even in completely healthy children, the level of motor activity, the intensity of expression of emotions, the rhythm of physiological cycles.
Based on a number of such indicators, it is possible with a fairly high degree of probability to predict the future behavior of the child: whether he will grow up docile, sociable, cheerful or overly excitable, emotional, impulsive. In other words, will he become an “easy” or “difficult” child. But knowing a newborn is not enough to predict his life path. A lot depends on what his parents will be like. After all, you see, parents can also be “easy”, that is, loving, patient, calm, able to surround the child with tenderness, create a warm, invariably friendly atmosphere in the house, or “difficult” – nervous, irritable, overly strict and demanding of the child or overprotective of him.
Chapter 1. WAITING FOR THE BABY
These difficult, but overall exciting 9 months are coming to an end! Expecting a baby, parents are completely immersed in pleasant chores. After all, there is so much to do: pick up clothes, buy a crib, a stroller, put the apartment in order, etc.
Some parents try to stock up on clothes and baby care items in advance, which causes great damage to the family budget. Therefore, before you rush to storm children’s stores, carefully think through everything to the smallest detail. The following are guidelines to help you create your initial action plan.
Clothes for your baby
When going shopping or starting knitting, remember that any child grows quickly and a blouse that seemed to fit just a week ago, tomorrow is too small for him. Regardless of the date of birth of the child, you should thoroughly stock up on warm clothes, since in the first days of life the child does not tolerate temperature changes and even a slight cold snap can negatively affect his health.
When preparing a dowry for a baby, each family proceeds from its own material resources, but it is necessary to have enough clothes so that they can be washed and ironed regularly. As a rule, the list of clothes for a newborn includes five undershirts, up to ten warm flannel and approximately 20-25 thin cotton diapers, three or four bonnets (if the house is cool, they should be warm), a warm blanket for sleeping and walking.
The choice of duvet depends on your individual preferences. It can be woolen, wadded or on a synthetic winterizer. A blanket on a synthetic winterizer is advantageous in that it can be washed quite often and it does not lose its original appearance. A woolen blanket is much warmer, but quickly “rolls up” and looks unattractive after several washes.
The above list of clothing is indicative only. In each family, clothes are sewn or bought according to their own financial capabilities, tastes, traditions of raising children in a particular environment. The main requirements for a child’s clothing are convenience and hygiene. The diaper is a piece of gauze folded in several layers. It can be rectangular or triangular in shape. The second option, as time has shown, is preferable, since it is the simplest and most convenient to use.
By now, ready-made diapers made from synthetic materials have already won the trust of many mothers, but these care items should not be used around the clock. Even the most expensive and high quality diapers can irritate your baby’s skin. Try to minimize the use of diapers if you have a son, as prolonged exposure to them leads to overheating of the genitals. Therefore, it is advisable to use ready-made diapers only for walking or for going to the doctor.
After picking up clothes for a small family member, they should be washed and ironed on both sides. Many years of experience suggests that it is better to sew undershirts, bonnets and diapers from cotton fabric that has already been in use.
Care items
A small family member should have separate care items that must be purchased in advance. Currently, in specialized stores you can buy a ready-made kit with all the care items, but it is easy to assemble it yourself.
Among the necessary items are a separate basin or bath for bathing, which should not be used by the rest of the family, a ladle for dousing, a water thermometer. To care for the baby, you will also need a terry sheet or a large towel, sponge, oilcloth, sterile cotton wool.
Include a comb with non-scratching teeth, scissors, a syringe for newborns, pipettes for eyes and nose, and a rubber heating pad. Pay attention also to bottles for artificial feeding. There should be at least two of them: for the mixture (milk) and for water. The glass bottles used by our grandmothers are gradually falling into disuse, and they are being replaced by plastic ones with a variety of designs. They are much safer to use and therefore more durable.
There are currently two types of teats sold with plastic bottles: silicone and latex. The second option is considered the most convenient, since a nipple made of this material will last much longer.
A wide variety of bath products are now on the market. Remember that children’s skin, and especially the skin of a newborn, is extremely sensitive to various chemical compounds, so you should only use special baby soap and shampoo. To disinfect water, you need to stock up on potassium permanganate, and to soften the skin of a child after bathing, use baby cream and sterilized vaseline or vegetable oil. The necessary items also include powder, which softens and soothes irritated skin well.
Stroller and crib
It is better to buy a baby cot in advance, as it immediately becomes necessary to place it correctly. Today there is a huge variety of cribs, but in fact they are all variants of one model. A bed with a reclining side wall is extremely convenient to use, since in this case you do not need to additionally purchase a special changing table: the diaper and diaper can be changed right in the bed.
The material from which the crib is made practically does not matter, the main thing is that it is stable, safe and easy to care for. In order to protect the child from flies and mosquitoes, in the summer it is advisable to hang a canopy made of light fabric over the crib, which will additionally protect against drafts and bright light.
Many parents feel that a stroller is not an important item for a baby and that it is also a significant investment. Do not spare the money, and she will pay for them. The baby can sleep in it if the weather is warm, and in winter it will reliably protect him from the cold wind. When buying a stroller, pay attention to the fact that it is high – this will prevent dust and exhaust gases from getting inside. Choose a stroller with soft springs to ensure a smooth and even ride.
It is unacceptable to buy a stroller with low sides: over time, the child will start to sit up and may fall out of it. An important aspect is the internal coating. It should be made of washable material of a soft color.
Car Seat and Playpen
Car seat will be needed as your baby grows and moves more. In this case, you can not do without a chair. In the first time after the birth of a child, you can use the cradle from the stroller, but it is inconvenient from a safety point of view.
When buying a seat, be sure to try it on in your car (some models are not suitable for all brands). It is also important to secure the seat well before driving.
Some companies offer a car seat combined with a stroller. Usually this chair is for the smallest, from about birth to six months. The chair is semi-sitting, equipped with a comfortable handle, and the child in such a chair can be carried along the street, taken with you to visit, to the store, placed in the kitchen while you are preparing dinner. True, such models are not cheap.
The playpen becomes an urgent need already at the age of 3-4 months. By this time, the baby is quite actively beginning to crawl on his back, pushing off with his feet from a hard surface. Being in bed all the time is boring for him, and the playpen gives new impressions. In addition, the playpen can be placed, for example, in the kitchen, and the child will be able to watch his mother, and she will be calm for him.
If the bottom of the arena is covered with oilcloth, in warm weather the baby can be put on one diaper undressed, which will have a very favorable effect on the condition of his skin.
By about 6 months, when the baby begins to actively crawl and shows real skill in this new skill, the playpen should be used less and less, gradually transferring the baby to the floor. After all, the space of the arena is very limited, and there are few goals for research in it. But do not be discouraged – the arena will still come in handy for you: when traveling to the country or traveling, it can be successfully used as a crib. Of course, this applies to a small foldable playpen that easily fits in the trunk of a car.
Children’s table, high chair, jumpers and walkers
Children’s high chair and table are indispensable when the baby begins to sit on his own. Until this moment, it is not recommended to seat the baby on a highchair. As for the models, then there are options. It is better not to purchase a wooden domestic chair, as it is very unstable and uncomfortable. If you have sufficient funds, it is better to invest in a good imported chair, which can take different positions in height, allows you to adjust the position of the table, tilt the footrest and, thanks to the oilcloth base, is easy to clean. The latter circumstance is very important when a child learns to independently wield a spoon. As for walkers and jumpers, the attitude of parents to these devices is ambiguous. Those who use them assure that they are very good, develop, delight the child and no negative consequences are observed.
Opponents of the use of walkers claim that they distort the legs and that the child begins to walk later. It is difficult to determine who is right, but one thing is clear: it is quite possible to do without walkers, as well as without jumpers. But really indispensable for parents leading an active lifestyle is the “kangaroo”, which is a convenient backpack for carrying children, which, taking into account the age of the baby, has a different design and, importantly, lasts a long time. At the same time, it can be hung both on the stomach and on the back, and the hands of mom or dad remain free.
Preparing the apartment for the birth of a child
Before the birth of a child, it is necessary to take care of the cleanliness of the apartment. Do not try to achieve absolute sterility, you still will not succeed, and for the child it does not play any role. The main thing is that the apartment, and especially the room where the child will be, is clean.
In some cases, the nursery room is being renovated. Before you bring the baby from the maternity hospital, be sure to ventilate the room, because even a slight smell of paint can lead to poisoning of the newborn.
In the event that you did not make repairs in the room, you should still carry out a general cleaning before the birth of the child. Choose a corner for the crib in advance: it should stand in a warm, well-ventilated place, as far as possible from common rooms.
Do not place the crib near a window or central heating radiator. The child needs a constant supply of fresh air, at the same time it is impossible for the crib to stand in a draft.
After rearranging the furniture, thoroughly clean all corners of the apartment. First of all, pay attention to carpets and upholstered furniture, as they accumulate the most dust.
Choose a bright room for your newborn, where the rays of sunlight can freely penetrate. It is better to remove heavy dark curtains and flower pots from the windows. In this case, more sunlight will penetrate into the room, which will have a beneficial effect on the health of the child.
Chapter 2. FEATURES OF THE PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE BABY
The first acquaintance with a newborn child takes place in the maternity hospital, where usually the mother cannot properly examine her baby, nor stay with him as much as she wants. It is possible to get to know a new family member closer only at home.
First look
The appearance of a newborn may surprise and even frighten parents, as the child is completely different from the common images of beautiful chubby babies that can be seen everywhere.
Newborn’s face is often puffy, swollen, sometimes wrinkled, reddish or yellowish. The body of the baby is covered with a gentle soft fluff.
Baby’s yellowish skin tone is a sign of neonatal jaundice. Under the supervision of a doctor, this is not a cause for concern. Jaundice is associated with increased production by the liver during this period of the coloring bile pigment – bilirubin.
The child’s head may have quite thick and long hair. However, most often there is little hair, sometimes they are absent. Do not be surprised at this: each child has his own individual characteristics of the body, the presence or absence of hair at the time of birth does not mean anything.
The head circumference of a newborn child is usually 34-36 cm. The head is often disproportionately large compared to the body, is 1 / 4 part of the body length, but this discrepancy disappears with time. The shape of the head can also be different: in some children it is round, in others it is slightly elongated, sometimes asymmetrical. The facial part of the skull is small.
On the head of a newborn there are discrepancies between the individual bones of the skull, between which there are fontanelles – areas of soft tissue. The largest fontanel is located above the forehead of the child. Lightly touching it, you can feel the pulsation of the vessels of the brain – light tremors. The fontanel is tightened with a membrane and has a diamond shape. It is located at the junction of the frontal and parietal bones. Behind this fontanel, at the junction of the parietal and occipital bones, there is a small triangular fontanel.
With age, ossification occurs in the membranes of the fontanelles. A small fontanel is completely overgrown by 3 months, a large one – by 12–15. The bones of the skull fuse by 3-4 months. Full fusion of the frontal, parietal, occipital and temporal bones of the skull occurs in the 3-4th year of a child’s life.
The color of the eyes in newborns is most often blue, since there is no coloring pigment in the iris yet. Over time, the child’s eyes will acquire the color inherent in them by nature, inherited from one of the parents.
The spine of a newborn is soft, the vertebrae are cartilaginous, so the spine does not curve like in an adult. Its limbs are rather thin, the legs, compared with the body, are short.
The baby’s chest is barrel-shaped, it becomes flat later. His ribs are soft, so the body of the newborn is very supple and flexible.
In the first weeks after birth, the child tends to maintain the position in which he was in the womb, so most often his limbs are bent and pressed to the body. You should not sharply straighten the baby’s legs when swaddling, as this can harm his soft bones.
A healthy newborn baby responds to hot and cold touch and has developed taste. For example, when feeding with sweets, it expresses pleasure, and when it tastes bitter or sour, it frowns or cries.
A full-term baby from birth has well developed all unconditioned reflexes – sucking, swallowing, reaction to bright light and a grasping reflex.
If you put a finger in a newborn’s hand, he will grab it and even hang on to it for a while.
A newborn baby is not yet able to control his body, so he may be frightened by his own sudden movements or sharp sounds. Reacting to this, the baby begins to cry, frantically move his limbs.
The body temperature of a newborn baby is somewhat dependent on the ambient temperature, which must be taken into account when swaddling and changing the baby. Hypothermia and overheating are very harmful for a small child, as they create favorable conditions for the occurrence of inflammatory diseases.
On the inside of the lips of a newborn baby there are peculiar ridges. These rollers are designed for sucking. The mucous membrane of the oral cavity is colored bright red because the blood vessels are located very close to its surface. On closer examination, yellowish-white dots can be seen on the midline of the hard palate.
After birth, the child adapts for some time to the new conditions of life outside the mother’s womb. Getting used to the new environment, his body is rebuilt. In this case, the child is in a state where it may seem that he is sick. You should not worry because you think that the baby is not all right. The transitional state of newborns is quite a common phenomenon that every child experiences in the first days of his life.
All babies, regardless of gender, experience a sexual crisis in the first weeks of life, due to the fact that maternal hormones enter the child’s body. The mammary glands swell, sometimes a liquid similar to milk is released from them when pressed. In boys, the scrotum swells, in girls, discharge from the genitals appears. These phenomena gradually pass by themselves, without requiring any treatment. If the sexual crisis has dragged on, you can apply a warm, dry bandage to the chest or genitals of the child.
Some babies are born with grayish pigment spots on the buttocks, thighs or coccyx. These spots can be of various shapes and sizes. They do not rise above the surface of the skin. Do not worry, in the first years of life, these spots disappear. Why they occur is still unknown.
Due to the fact that the sweat glands of a newborn child are not yet developed and cannot function to their full potential, they often become blocked. From this, yellowish-white pimples the size of a grain of millet may appear on the face of the baby. Most often, these pimples are located on the wings of the nose, sometimes on the cheeks or forehead of the child.
A significant number of newborns in the first weeks of life can see redness on the feet and hands. It is caused by dilation of the capillaries in the extremities, which is called physiological catarrh of the skin. Over time, the redness goes away.
Some babies have red spots on the forehead, back of the head or eyelids. If you press lightly on such a spot with your finger, it turns pale, and then appears again. As the child grows, these spots become paler, but when the child screams, cries, or if he is tense, these spots appear again on the skin. In a small number of children, they remain for a long time, in the majority they quickly disappear.
The digestive system of newborns in the first weeks, even months, adapts to the new conditions of a child’s life, like his entire body. In this regard, deviations are observed in the work of the gastrointestinal tract.
Often the child spits up food after feeding, sometimes vomiting occurs. Regurgitation occurs as a result of the fact that part of the food after feeding rises from the stomach, which is not located in the same way as in adults – horizontally, but is in a semi-vertical position, as a result of which food easily moves in the opposite direction. Regurgitation occurs in almost all newborns: some after every feeding, some only occasionally. This phenomenon is quite common and does not require any treatment.
Vomiting after feeding often occurs in nervous, excitable children. There is nothing unusual about this either. If the child is not sick, growing well and gaining weight, you should not worry about vomiting, but you need to pay attention to its nature. In the event that vomiting does not go away for a long time, especially if it is plentiful – a fountain, you should immediately call a doctor, as this may be a sign of some kind of disease.
The question often arises whether to feed a child after vomiting. You need to pay attention to how the baby behaves. If he is calm and happy, you do not need to feed him, and if he cries, then he is hungry and should be fed.
If your baby is prone to vomiting, you should take this into account and try to feed in a calm environment. Nothing should disturb the baby, he should be comfortable in your arms, it is necessary to exclude the appearance of strangers and noise in the room during feeding.
After feeding, many children experience incomprehensible anxiety, the child cries, randomly moves his legs. Most often, the reason for this behavior of the newborn is bloating. In some cases, bloating occurs because the child swallowed too much air along with food. In order for excess air to come out, it is necessary to hold the baby in an upright position immediately after feeding for some time.
Sometimes babies hiccup after feeding. The causes of hiccups are not exactly established, perhaps the child hiccups because he swallowed air. Sometimes hiccups occur due to hypothermia. Stopping hiccups is not easy. Most often, children hiccup for a long time. It is helpful to give the baby some warm water or help him burp the extra air.
The body of a baby has no fundamental differences from the body of an adult: it consists of the same organs that are located in the same way as in adults; the functions performed by the organs of an infant are the same as in an adult. However, the body of the child has some differences.
Caring for a newborn baby [from the first days] – a complete guide for parents
The first days of a newborn’s life: what you need to know
The nuances of caring for a baby require attention and patience from adults, because a delicate children’s body is an easy target for bacteria and microbes. We will analyze how to care for a newborn baby in the first month step by step so that the baby grows up healthy and happy.
How to care for your newborn’s skin
One of the important tasks in caring for a newborn in the first month of life is to maintain the good condition of delicate and sensitive skin prone to dryness. Simple recommendations for caring for a newborn will help to cope with common problems of children’s skin.
Do not rush to immediately buy the entire range of cosmetics for babies: simple water is enough to care for the skin of a newborn in the first months. If necessary, you can add a couple of drops of potassium permanganate, string or chamomile to the bath – but you should not do this often.
As the baby develops, you can gradually add care products: three main positions will be enough for this:
Gentle cleansing: gel, cream or oil, which will help to gently remove impurities, moisturize and soothe the skin. All these properties are possessed by products from the Lipikar(1) line. For example, Lipikar Gel Lavant(2), a soothing shower gel with protective properties for sensitive skin of babies, children and adults, is an all-in-one cleanser for the whole family. Choose a package with a dispenser: it is very convenient for caring for a newborn, as you can use the product with one hand while bathing.
Moisturizing cream for treating the skin after bathing. Look for light textures that are quickly absorbed, intensively moisturize and restore. With Shea Butter, La Roche-Posay Thermal Water and Niacinamide, Lipikar Lait(3) Hypoallergenic Milk formula nourishes and hydrates for up to 48 hours, providing long-lasting comfort to even the driest, most sensitive and delicate skin.
Diaper cream with antibacterial ingredients that improves skin repair and soothes. The cream can be applied after every diaper change to prevent or relieve irritation.
How to care for your baby’s umbilical cord
The rest of the umbilical cord falls off 4-6 days after birth, exposing a small wound. The umbilical wound is the most vulnerable area on the baby’s body, it can serve as a gateway for bacteria and microbes. In the first days of a newborn’s life, it is necessary to treat frequently. Care instructions will be given by a doctor or nurse. What else do you need to know about caring for an umbilical wound? If it has not healed after 10-14 days, this is an occasion to contact a pediatrician.
Newborn scalp care
The formation of milk (seborrheic) crusts is a natural process, they appear in every second baby up to a year and do not cause discomfort. In the first months, the sebaceous and sweat glands of the baby do not fully cope with the load. Excess sebum mixes with dead skin cells and forms yellowish growths. This condition, like any adaptation mechanism, passes over time – but if the crusts interfere with the care of the baby, they can be removed.
Apply a little oil (eg Vaseline) to the head and put on a cap for 30-60 minutes.
Remove the cap and gently massage the affected area with your fingertips.
Bathe the baby: the water will gently wash away the softened crusts.
If not all the crusts have come off on their own, do not remove them – repeat the procedure after a few days.
Under no circumstances should the scabs be combed dry – the risk of damaging the skin and causing infection is too high. As you have already noticed, the rules for caring for a newborn are united by the main principle – strict adherence to safety precautions.
How to properly clean your baby’s ears and nose
The baby’s nose is cleaned with a tightly twisted cotton tourniquet: insert it into the nostril and carefully turn around the axis. If the scabs are dry and won’t budge, use baby nasal drops or some warm petroleum jelly to soften them. Use cotton swabs to clean your nose with caution: cotton wool can remain in the nasal passages, and the plastic base can damage the delicate mucous membrane.
When caring for a newborn baby, you should clean your ears very carefully, without getting into the ear canals. It is necessary to wipe only the auricle and the area behind the ears.
How to care for the eyes of a newborn
Newborn care recommendations include daily eye cleaning to help prevent infections. As a rule, crusts and small lumps of white discharge accumulate in the corners of the eyes in babies. In the morning, after waking up, the eyes of an infant are treated with a cotton pad dipped in warm boiled water, from the outer corner to the bridge of the nose. For each eye – a separate piece of cotton wool.
How to cut baby’s nails
Newborn nails are very sharp, the baby can easily injure the face and body, so 10-14 days after birth, it’s time to start cutting them every 5-7 days – or more often if the nails grow too quickly.
It is easiest to trim your nails after bathing, when they are soft and steamed, and the baby himself is relaxed and in a good mood. Take children’s scissors with rounded ends, treat with alcohol and cut the nails with confident movements: on the hands – in the form of a semicircle, on the legs – in a straight line to avoid ingrown corners.
Intimate hygiene for girls and boys
It is necessary to wash the baby from the first days of life before each diaper change. It is most convenient to do this in the sink, under running water – and use wet wipes only outside the home. Do not rush to put on a diaper: arrange air baths for your baby so that the skin folds dry out. Apply cream under the diaper, do a light massage.
How to care for a newborn girl to protect the genitals from the penetration of pathogens? Wash it from front to back – dirt from the anus will not enter the vagina and urethra. Treat small labia with a cotton swab with vaseline oil, gently removing white discharge. They are completely normal for a baby, but can cause itching and redness if not removed daily. Caring for a newborn boy is much easier: you can wash it in any direction.
Bathing tips for newborns
Bathing for the first time can be exciting and awkward, but over time it becomes a favorite ritual that creates a special bond between parents and baby. Here are some simple rules and tips to help you take care of your newborn while bathing:
The best time to bathe is in the evenings, before feeding, as warm water relaxes the baby and helps him fall asleep faster. But if after the bath the baby, on the contrary, becomes more cheerful, it is better to transfer the bath to the morning hours. The main thing is to bathe at the same time every day in order to develop a habit and normalize the regimen.
It is most convenient to bathe a baby in a special bath, especially with a slide. An older baby from two months old can splash in a large bathtub, which must be thoroughly cleaned before each procedure.
The optimum water temperature for a baby is about 37°C so that it does not freeze and does not overheat, and the air in the bathroom is 24°C.
Bathe your newborn with a cleanser no more than 1-2 times a week to maintain the hydro-lipid mantle of the skin.
Before bathing, have a towel, clean clothes and necessary cosmetics at arm’s length so that you do not leave your child alone even for a split second.
Gently submerge the baby in the water, first the legs and then the whole body. First wash the baby, then rinse the arms and legs, paying attention to each skin fold. Clean the perineum last.
The optimal duration of the first bath is 5 minutes. For older children, it is up to 20-30 minutes. Bathing frequency – from 3 to 7 times a week.
After bathing, gently pat your baby’s skin to remove excess moisture. Do not crush under any circumstances! Apply moisturizer, put on a diaper, clean clothes – and you can get ready for bed!
It is difficult to remember the peculiarities of caring for a newborn at the first time, but gradually you will begin to easily cope with the child, as if you always knew how to do it. Ask for support from loved ones, take time to relax – and get as much pleasure from the new stage of life as possible!
Baby skin care: baby skin care products, newborn skin care rules
What is the most important thing for every mom? Of course, this is health. The good health of her children. And it begins with personal hygiene, which is provided first by the baby’s parents, and then by the grown child himself.
Features of the child’s skin
Complete care of children’s skin is possible only if you know its features well.
In infants, the skin is in the process of development. They are still immature and just in the process of growing. In newborns and infants under 1 year of age, the epidermis (the layer that performs a protective function) is 2-3 times thinner than in older children and adults. Therefore, the skin of a very young child is more delicate and sensitive, which means that the likelihood of irritation in places of friction is very high.
Sweat and sebaceous glands of newborns have a special structure. In a small child, the sweat glands are located very densely, and their number is sometimes 6-7 times more than in an adult. Such features can lead to their underdevelopment, which negatively affects the thermoregulation of the body. In fact, children under 6 months of age do not have this function. That is why there is a high risk of hypothermia or overheating of the child when the temperature changes. In addition, in the heat, children develop irritation and itching. Sweat glands fully develop only by the end of the 1st year of a child’s life. The sebaceous glands in children also have features. First, they are much larger than in adults. Secondly, they usually function with some margin. Excessive secretions of the sebaceous glands sometimes lead to a number of problems. For example, if this process is very active in the head area, then so-called milk crusts can form in the crown region, and small cysts can form near the nose and areas located next to it. With the growth of the child, the work of the sebaceous glands is normalized.
Skin of a child has a developed network of capillaries and increased vascular permeability . This feature, on the one hand, increases the risk of infection spreading through the bloodstream, and on the other hand, promotes effective gas exchange. We can say that the child literally breathes through the skin. In other words, the protective function of the epidermis of a newborn is inferior to that of an adult, but the respiratory function is much superior. This feature largely determines that babies have a beautiful pink-pearl skin tone.
The stratum corneum of a young child contains a large amount of water and very few lipids. This feature leads to the fact that water-soluble substances pass through children’s skin more easily than through the skin of adults. In addition, infants have significantly developed subcutaneous fat. The ratio of hypodermis mass to body weight in babies is five times higher than in adults. This suggests that when exposed to harmful substances, the intoxication of the child’s body will be stronger and develop faster than in an adult.
Skin newborns have an almost neutral pH of . In a child, it is approximately 6.5, and in an adult – 5.5. Nevertheless, this indicator in infants decreases quite quickly: during the first month of life, the pH reaches 5.5. The child has an acid mantle (a slightly acidic mixture of sweat and sebum), which provides protection against pathogens and creates conditions for the development of normal microflora. At the same time, it is quite sensitive to negative external influences and is easily damaged by applied preparations that are not intended for child skin care.
Before the age of six months, the melanin pigment in newborns is secreted in a very small volume. This fact suggests that the skin of the baby is practically defenseless against the action of UV rays.
Thus, children’s skin is very delicate, thin and easily vulnerable, susceptible to microbes and toxic substances, prone to water balance disorders, sensitive to negative environmental influences. That is why proper daily skin care for a child is of particular importance. It should be carried out using delicate means for children’s hygiene.
Basic hygiene procedures for children
Washing and washing hands . This procedure in the first months of a child’s life should be especially accurate. To do this, the face and hands of the newborn should be regularly wiped with swabs dipped in boiled water. To process each eye, you need to take a new cotton pad. From 5-6 months, the child can be washed with ordinary running water at room temperature without the use of tampons. From 2–2.5 years old, children need to be taught hygiene skills so that they learn to take care of their bodies on their own. The child should be able to properly wash, wash their hands before eating, after going to the toilet, as well as in case of any contamination (after walking, playing with sand, communicating with animals, etc.).
Bathing . Full-fledged water procedures can be started only after the umbilical cord falls off. In the first six months, when the baby’s skin is very tender and vulnerable, a hygienic bath should be done every day. Such a procedure not only ensures the cleanliness of the body, it contributes to the normalization of all skin functions, stimulation of blood circulation, strengthening of the nervous and immune systems, and psychomotor development of the child. Bathing babies older than 6 months can be done every other day, and after 1 year – 2 times a week. When reaching the age of 3, it is enough to take a bath once a week. Washing and washing the feet should be done daily.
Babies with an incompletely healed umbilical wound should be bathed in boiled water, sometimes a little potassium permanganate can be added. When the child gets stronger, ordinary tap water is drawn into the bath. It is very useful for babies to bathe in a decoction of herbs. Chamomile, nettle, string, lavender and juniper have anti-inflammatory and soothing effects. The baby bath before bathing the child must be washed with hot water and soap, then put a clean diaper or a special mat on its bottom. The temperature of the poured water should not exceed 36-37 ° C, and the air in the bathroom – 22 ° C (for children in the first months of life), later – 20 ° C. It is necessary to immerse the child in the bath very carefully, the head must be placed on the forearm.
In the first days of life, the child’s body should be washed by hand, a little later with a soft sponge or mitten. For this, ordinary water is used. Bathing babies using baby skin care products is not necessary every day, but 2-3 times a week. It is very important to ensure that water does not get into the eyes, ears and nose. First you need to wash the body of the child, then the head, and then wash with warm boiled water.
Wipe and care . After bathing the baby, you need to carefully wipe it with a soft towel, special attention should be paid to the folds. They can be treated with special baby skin care products. Ears and nose are cleaned with soft cotton swabs. Scissors with rounded tips are used to trim fingernails and toenails. They can be wiped with alcohol first. The bath after bathing should be thoroughly washed and dried.
Treatment of inguinal folds and buttocks . This is especially true for children who wear diapers. Under them, the skin is in very unpleasant conditions: the level of humidity is increased, there is not enough oxygen, in addition, tender places are rubbed and are constantly in contact with natural children’s secretions (urine and feces). In this regard, it is necessary to treat delicate areas with special means as regularly as changing a diaper. Moisture makes the baby’s skin vulnerable, so prolonged contact with it increases the likelihood of irritation. Before putting on a diaper, the child should be left without clothes for a while (arrange an “air bath” for him). MIRRA offers a specially developed product for baby skin care in especially delicate areas – DIAPER CREAM-GEL with zinc oxide and calendula.
Baby skin care products
We answered the question “how to provide the child with the necessary hygiene?”. Now you need to figure out in more detail what tools can be used for this purpose. The first thing that comes to mind for most parents is baby soap for baby skin care. It has been known for more than a dozen years, it was used by our mothers and grandmothers. It seems that everyone was always happy with him, because the children grew up normally. But today, scientists have decided to improve ordinary baby soap, as it has already been proven that its constant use damages the acid mantle. This is due to the fact that this tool always has an alkaline reaction, and therefore changes the pH of the skin (dries it).
It is better to refuse the use of ordinary soap for hygienic purposes (washing hands, bathing, caring for delicate places, etc.). For these purposes, we suggest using a modern cleanser: HYGIENIC FOAM for children. This NEW product in the BABY SKIN CARE series is specially designed for gentle and gentle cleansing of the skin of a child of any age. Foam can be used from the first days of a baby’s life. The soft surfactants included in its composition are excellent for children’s cosmetics. The pH of the foam is natural, so it does not irritate or dry out the baby’s sensitive skin.
The foam contains glyceryl oleic acid. This ingredient is produced from sunflower, in its structure it is similar to the natural components of sebum. In addition, it helps to strengthen and preserve the lipid layer of the baby’s skin. Foam is great for frequent use. It also contains healing extracts of aloe, chamomile and yarrow. They have anti-inflammatory, antiallergic, softening, analgesic, moisturizing, regenerating, soothing and wound healing effects. Such extracts have been known for a long time and are widely used for the manufacture of children’s cosmetics. As you know, proven products are the best choice in matters relating to the health of the child. In addition, the composition of the foam includes moisturizing ingredients (glycerin and urea) and an antioxidant (vitamin E). Thanks to the above ingredients, the product helps to maintain the natural protective function of the delicate skin of the child, while not affecting the mechanisms of self-regulation, self-defense and self-healing.
As a result, we note that careful care of the baby, as a rule, allows you to keep his skin healthy. And our cleansers (for example, HYGIENIC FOAM for children) will make daily hygiene procedures safer and more complete, and will also give mom happy moments of communication with her baby. You no longer have to look for something and worry for a long time, because the MIRRA children’s cosmetics from the BABY line perfectly complement and enhance each other’s action.

P.S. While washing a very young child, you can cheer up with funny rhymes.
Water, water,
Wash my face,
To make the little eyes shine,
To make cheeks blush,
To laugh mouth,
To bite a tooth.
And an older child can have an entertaining education about personal hygiene. You can start it with a poem by M. Stelmakh “The stork is washing.”
On the water under the willow
Stork walks barefoot,
Because this bird is
Used to wash in the morning.
Touches a vine with its beak,
Dew shakes itself,
And shower silver
Washes the neck clean-clean
And does not whimper: “Oh, trouble,
Oh, cold water!”
Next, it is worth talking about the rules for caring for your body.
Wash your face every morning. Water procedures include washing hands, face, neck and ears. They also need to be carried out after walks and at night.
Wash your feet before going to bed . It is necessary to regularly clean the skin of the feet from sweat and dirt accumulated during the day.
Wash your entire body at least once a week. You can bathe at home in a bath or shower, as well as in a sauna. To get rid of sweat, grease and dirt, you need to wash with warm water, rubbing the body with a washcloth with a hygiene product. After bathing, put on clean underwear.
The hair must be rinsed very thoroughly. It is on them that a large amount of sebum, dust and dirt accumulates. After water procedures it is necessary to comb.
Nails require careful care . Fingers should be neatly trimmed once a week, and toes should be trimmed once every 2 weeks. Taking care of these parts of the body is extremely important, as long nails accumulate dirt that is difficult to remove. In addition, you can scratch yourself and another person. Dirty nails are a sign of carelessness and slovenliness, such a person usually does not follow the rules of personal hygiene.
It is important to keep your hands clean at all times . During the day, we touch a variety of objects (pencils, pens, books, notebooks, balls, doorknobs, etc.). Many people love petting pets. Often we may not see the microscopic particles of dirt that remain on our hands, but this does not mean that they are not there. If you later take bread, an apple or sweets with such hands, then the microbes will first get on the food, and with them into the body. And it threatens with poisoning.
It is important to remember that no rules for caring for one’s own body will teach a child to observe personal hygiene if his family does not set an example for him.
This material was prepared on the basis of the training program “Rules and Skills of Personal Hygiene”, compiled by Natalia Mirskaya, Candidate of Medical Sciences, Research Institute of Public Health and Health Management. THEM. Sechenov.

If your baby cries for more than three hours a day and more than three days a week, he may be suffering from colic. However, this is not a cause for panic, and there are several ways to soothe a child with colic. Find out here about colic, its symptoms, and how to soothe a baby with colic.
If you think reflux (regurgitation) may be the cause of your crying, you can learn more about the different types of reflux and how to manage it here.
Be sure to contact your baby’s doctor if your baby seems ill or has the following symptoms in addition to excessive crying: 1
fever;
shortness of breath or cough;
vomiting;
diarrhea;
rash;
crying worse when the child is picked up or moved;
increased irritability or lethargy.
How to soothe a crying baby
Once you have ruled out some potential causes of crying, you will have a better idea of how to soothe your baby. The most important thing to remember is not to get upset and stay as calm as possible.
Here are some tips and advice on how to calm your baby: 2
1. Swaddle your baby.
One of the most useful techniques to soothe a crying baby is swaddling. When doing this, make sure that you do not cover the child’s head and do not overheat him. Don’t swaddle your baby too tight: swaddling too tightly can interfere with your baby’s natural body position, breathing, and blood circulation: your baby may not like it, causing him to cry. Don’t swaddle your baby when he starts to roll over, which usually happens around four months of age.
2. Take the child in your arms and comfort.
When your baby is crying, it’s natural for you to want to pick him up. And when your newborn cries for no reason, he probably wants to be picked up. If you’re trying to calm your baby at night, try keeping him upright or in a rocking chair until he falls asleep. Any gentle strokes or vibrations can be very soothing. You can also give your baby an ultra soft pacifier, which is recommended for soothing newborns. This pacifier will help your baby feel comfortable and safe.
Proper care requires certain rules and skills. In general, care activities are divided into daily and weekly. Naturally, this division is conditional. If your baby needs a certain procedure, then it can and should be done more often.
Daily childcare
Wash your baby every morning with warm boiled water. For washing, it is better to use cotton wool, but you can wipe the baby’s face with your hand.
Eye care
The baby’s eyes should be treated with a cotton pad previously moistened with boiled water. If you notice that the baby’s eyes are more dirty than usual, then use a solution of furacilin.
Washing the eyes of a child is carried out strictly from the outer corner of the eye to the inner. A new cotton pad should be used for each eye.
Take care of your baby’s organs of vision from birth. Under no circumstances should you allow yourself to look at the sun and generally avoid exposing your baby’s eyes to very bright light. This also applies to flash, you need to use it with extreme caution. You should not expose your child’s eyes to sudden changes in light; at night, you should use a floor lamp under a green shade or a table lamp.
Bathing and washing
Newborns should be washed in running water after each bowel movement. You can not wash the baby in a basin or bath – an infection can get into the genitourinary tract.
Girls are washed under a warm stream by hand strictly in the direction from front to back. It should be remembered that before starting the washing procedure, it is imperative to check the temperature of the water. After you have washed your baby, put it on the changing table and dry the baby’s skin with blotting movements. The folds of the baby can be smeared with a cotton swab dipped in baby cream or sterile sunflower oil.
Weekly care
Baby nose care
Newborns have very small nasal passages, so even a slight blockage can cause breathing difficulties.
Baby’s nasal passages can become clogged with dust, hairs from clothes or blankets, irritated by cigarette smoke, so they need to be cleaned with sterile cotton flagella.
The flagellum is soaked in vegetable or vaseline oil and inserted with rotational movements into the child’s nasal passage no more than a centimeter. Take a new flagellum for each nasal passage. Carefully monitor the purity of the air, try to prevent its pollution.
Baby ear care
The child’s hearing needs to be treated very carefully. Clean your baby’s ears regularly. If you observe sulfur emissions, there is no need to panic, this is a normal process. Together with it, dust and microorganisms come out of the outer ear. In fact, there is a process of self-purification. To avoid the appearance of sulfur plugs, excess sulfur must be removed with a clean cotton swab. Remember to do this carefully. Do not penetrate deep into the ear canals, otherwise you risk injuring the baby’s delicate skin or injuring the eardrum.
Nail care
Cut your child’s nails in time. It happens that some newborns are born with rather long nails, and if they are not cut, the baby risks scratching himself. Baby nails grow fast enough, so they should be trimmed often, otherwise they begin to bend and break. To cut your baby’s nails, use special baby tweezers or safety news. While cutting the nail, press the baby on the pad of the finger so as not to accidentally touch the skin. If the wound still happened, then a sterile bandage should be applied to the wound and held until the bleeding stops completely. It is best to cut nails when the baby is sleeping and completely relaxed.
Fueling your puppy’s way in the world, a few months at a time.
You have a new puppy. Maybe you adopted your little buddy or your dog gave birth. Either way, you have a fluffy little bundle of fur to feed (and feed properly). A puppy feeding schedule helps.
Just like human babies, how you feed your dog will have long-lasting consequences. “The feeding habits started as puppies will likely linger far into adulthood,” says Dr. Jennifer Koehl, veterinarian and writer of VMDiva. It is important to choose the type of food you want to feed your dog, whether it is dry canned or fresh.
It is also vital to start out with a feeding schedule. “Dogs thrive on predictability,” says Dr. Chris Bern, veterinarian and writer of A Vet’s Guide to Life. But it can’t be set in stone from day one. Like your puppy, the feeding schedule will grow.
Birth to 6 Weeks The best food for newborn puppies is their mother’s milk. Be sure to start the mother on puppy food. “Not only does this give the mother extra nutrition,” says Dr. Bern. “But as the puppies begin to practice eating, they will sample their mother’s food, making transitioning to puppy food easier.”
If the mother is not around, feeding a newborn puppy becomes dicier. Several dog milk substitutes are available, so consult your veterinarian about the best options. At birth, puppies need to be fed every two hours. “Not only do they need constant feeding,” Dr. Bern warns. “But they also need help going to the bathroom.” The mother dog will lick each puppy’s genital region to stimulate the elimination. “People will need to use a warm washcloth to rub the puppy’s anal area to help it go to the bathroom,” Dr. Bern says.
6 Weeks to 4 Months By six weeks, your puppy should be fully weaned and eating puppy food. At this age, your puppy feeding schedule should involve feedings two to four times a day, depending on the breed. Small breed puppies, like Yorkshire terriers, are prone to hypoglycemia and should have more food available during the first weeks. But don’t leave food out forever — it’s important to set meal times to help with housebreaking.
“Dogs will have colon contractions about 20 to 30 minutes after they eat,” Dr. Bern says. This gives you both the opportunity to make sure that he is outside. Refer to your puppy food for the correct amount of food for your dog’s breed or size. “The amount on the package will be the total amount your puppy should eat each day,” Dr. Bern advises. “Split that total amount into the number of feedings you are giving your dog.” For example, if you should give your puppy one cup of food and you have two feedings a day, you should measure out one half cup of food for each feeding.
4 to 8 Months Your puppy is growing. In addition to more food, he should be able to go longer without eating. It’s also time to make sure that your puppy learns good mealtime manners. Never feed your dog from the table. “If your puppy begs for food, do not feel bad removing him from the dining area during mealtimes,” assures Dr. Koehl. It’s also important to teach your puppy how to eat. “Make sure that he sits and stays before you put his bowl down,” advises Dr. Bern. “Food motivation makes training easier.”
8 Months to 1 Year During the final months of puppyhood, your dog should be down to an adult feeding schedule — one to two times a day. By the time your dog is a year old, she is ready for adult food. To make the change, start by adding a small amount of adult food to your puppy’s meal. Add more adult food every day as you cut the amount of puppy food until you are feeding only adult chow. Again, follow package instructions to determine how much to feed your pup.
When to Worry Your puppy should be bright eyed, active and eager to eat. If your pet ever appears listless or refuses to eat, seek a veterinarian immediately, as a feeding adjustment may be necessary.

Puppy Feeding Fundamentals: Timeline for Puppy Feeding
Walk down the dog food aisle of any large pet-supply store, or peruse the shelves at a boutique pet-food shop, and you can quickly become overwhelmed. This is especially true for puppy owners, and probably even more so for first-time puppy owners. When did it get so complicated? Back in the day, dog food options were far more limited, and even responsible dog owners didn’t worry too much about what went into their dog’s dish.
The process may now be somewhat more involved, but that’s a good thing. Higher quality ingredients with better sourcing and specialized diet formulas lead to overall better health for our puppies. And every bit as important as what to feed your puppy is having an understanding of his special nutritional needs.
All puppies are different, so if you have any concerns or questions about your puppy’s food, feeding schedule, or nutritional health, always consult your breeder or veterinarian—that’s what they’re there for.
Many puppy owners wonder, “How long should I feed puppy food?” Here is a general timeline for what your puppy needs at each stage of his first year of life.
Feeding Your Puppy: A First-Year Timeline
6–12 weeks: Growing pups should be fed puppy food, a diet specially formulated to meet the nutritional needs for normal development. Feeding adult food will rob your puppy of important nutrients. Four feedings a day are usually adequate to meet nutritional demands. Large breeds should be fed unmoistened dry food by 9 or 10 weeks; small dogs by 12 or 13 weeks.
3–6 months: Sometime during this period, decrease feedings from four to three a day. A pup should be losing her potbelly and pudginess by 12 weeks. If she is still roly-poly at this age, continue to feed puppy-size portions until body type matures.
6–12 months: Begin feeding twice daily. Spaying or neutering lowers energy requirements slightly; after the procedure, switch from nutrient-rich puppy food to adult maintenance food. Small breeds can make the switch at 7 to 9 months; bigger breeds at 12, 13, even 14 months. Err on the side of caution: Better to be on puppy food a little too long than not long enough.
After age 1: Most owners feed adult dogs two half-portions a day.
How much food should I give my puppy?
There’s a saying in canine feeding: Watch the dog, not the dish. Body condition, not the amount eaten or left in the bowl, should determine portion sizes. Portion sizes depend on individual metabolism and body type, and nutritional requirements vary from dog to dog. If your puppy occasionally skips a meal or picks at food, don’t worry. It could mean she is ready to eliminate a feeding or that you have given her too much, in which case simply reduce the quantity served.
Also, if you are doing treat-based training with your pup, adjust the amount you feed at mealtime accordingly. Whenever training with treats, keep the treat as small as possible.
How often should I feed my puppy?
Like human babies, puppies start out needing many small meals a day, of a food formulated for their special nutritional requirements. Most, but not all, dogs finish meals quickly. To discourage picky habits, feed at regular times in regular amounts and don’t leave food down for more than 10 to 20 minutes.
Your breeder will be an excellent source of guidance for both of these questions, as will your vet.
Is it worth it to buy expensive puppy food?
Premium dog food has higher nutritional density, so you can feed your dog less to achieve the same results. Also, premium foods have stable ingredient profiles; the composition of bargain brands can vary from batch to batch.
The major dog-food companies invest heavily in product development and research, constantly upgrading formulas to keep up with their competitors. This means that feeding premium food puts you on the cutting edge of canine nutrition.
Dry food, wet food, or both?
Many pet-food companies have worked with canine-nutrition scientists to develop special formulas for both large- and small-breed puppies.
Canned food is the most expensive to feed, and dogs often find it most palatable. Be careful of “all-meat” claims, though. Your dog should have a complete, balanced diet to fulfill nutritional requirements. Meat alone may not do it.
Semi-moist food is available in one-serving packets. It is usually made to look like hamburger.
Kibble is the most economical, and the major makers offer a complete and balanced diet for dogs of all sizes and ages. Dry food can be fed exactly as it comes from the bag.
Some dog owners say there is an oral-hygiene advantage in hard kibble because the friction produced helps to keep the gums and teeth healthy. Kibble can be moistened, either with water or canned food. Although unnecessary, that addition may make food tastier.
Food for Big Puppies & Little Puppies
There are differences between the nutritional needs of small-breed and large-breed dogs, and that is especially true for puppies. Adult dogs who weigh less than 20 pounds are considered small-breed dogs. These puppies grow quickly and may reach adulthood by 9 months. Large-breed puppies (20 pounds and up), grow more slowly—it takes anywhere from 15 to 24 months to reach full size and maturity.

Chart Your Puppy’s Weight and Growth
There are growth-and-weight charts available in print and online. Weigh the puppy weekly and record his progress, comparing him to breed-appropriate weight charts. Adjust his food intake to achieve an average rate of growth.
Weighing a dog, even a squirming puppy, is easy. Just weigh yourself, then weigh yourself holding the puppy. Subtract the difference—that’s the puppy’s weight. Voila!
Don’t worry about an ounce or two either way; no two dogs, even within breeds, are built exactly alike.
A young dog carrying too much weight has an increased risk of orthopedic problems, due to stress on immature joints. Obesity can also lead to diabetes, diseases of the heart and other organs, and general lethargy.
My puppy is begging! Should I feed him people food or table scraps?
One little French fry will invariably lead to another, and another. Before long, an obese dog will be crowding you off the love seat. Also, a steady diet of table scraps can create a nutritional imbalance, and certain ingredients and spices in your favorite dishes can cause upset stomach in dogs.
The pleading gaze of a begging dog can be irresistible. This is no accident. During his long partnership with man, the dog has perfected cunning methods of exploiting the human habit of associating food with affection. In prehistoric times semi-domesticated canines first cultivated human beings as a food provider. As the two species grew closer, dogs modified begging behaviors to maximize results: The more pathetic a dog seemed, the more scraps were tossed his way. Dogs have since refined this approach into a low-risk, high-reward hunting technique.
But don’t be fooled: Begging is not an emotional crisis or a test of your love. It’s what scientists might call an evolutionary survival strategy, or what the rest of us might call a scam. Allowing your dog to guilt you into overfeeding him, or serving him a steady diet of table scraps in a misguided show of affection, can have harmful or even fatal results.
Puppy Feeding Tidbits
Feeding your pup the moment you get home may encourage puppy separation anxiety. Play or grooming is a more positive way to say hello.
When medically necessary, you can purchase canned or dry prescription diets from veterinarians to feed dogs with kidney disease, heart disease, diabetes, and other serious conditions. These foods should never be fed without a prescription.
Some vitamin or mineral supplements, when utilized incorrectly (such as extra calcium given to a large-breed dog on a good diet), will do more harm than good.
Before making a major change in your dog’s diet, consult with your veterinarian and, when possible, the breeder. Once the formula is chosen, stick with it. Sudden changes in food may cause digestion problems.
Small portions of carrot or apple chunks are healthful low-calorie snacks most dogs love.
Fresh water should be available at all times. During the summer months, consider setting up multiple indoor/outdoor water stations. To avoid a buildup of bacteria, wash the water bowl daily.
How to Switch from Puppy Food to Adult Food
When switching from puppy food to adult food, you should make the switch gradually over a period of a few days. A sudden change in your dog’s diet may cause stomach upset. Talk to your veterinarian about the best food for your puppy.
Puppy Feeding Advice
Make sure everyone gets with the program
Your entire household must be committed to your dog’s feeding regimen. If there’s a soft touch for a handout in your family, your dog will find it and exploit it, thus undoing the good you are trying to do. Keeping a dog trim takes a conscious effort from everyone on your team.
Give a dog a bone? Careful!
Our best advice here is caution. Poultry and pork bones, or cooked bones of any kind, are strictly forbidden. They splinter into shards that can cause choking and serious damage to the dog’s mouth, throat, or intestines. Any bone, in fact, once chewed into small pieces, can block the intestines and lead to a nasty bout of constipation, can cause lacerations of the mouth and internal organs, or can lodge in the throat with fatal results. It is important to note that bones have little if any nutritional value.
There are other ways to satisfy a dog’s craving to chew. Commercially available chew toys and simulated bones are made for dogs of all sizes.
As the famous food writer M.F.K. Fisher wrote, “First we eat. Then we do everything else.” This is true for our pups, too.

Puppy Feeding Guidelines | Schedule & Tips
Hello, I am rescuing my first puppy next Monday. She’ll be 11.5 weeks when we get her, and I’ve never had a dog that young. The people fostering her are feeding her litter 3/4 cup twice a day.
She’s an Australian shepherd/great pyrenees/golden retriever mix. I keep reading mixed things about feeding them twice or three times a day. Which do you recommend?
And if it is three times a day, given that she’s almost three months old, how much would you feed her each time? I have an appointment with a vet on that Friday, but wanted to ask you what you thought, hoping to get an answer before I pick her up.
Thanks so much in advance! I’m really excited to take on this challenge, But it’s also a little nerve-wrecking to not know how much to feed her exactly? -Michele Solano
Read Dr. Kristy Conn’s Advice:
Congratulations on your newest four-legged addition to your family. I understand the excitement and trepidation that comes with bringing home a furry ball of joy. You want to do right by her and that includes making sure she is getting the correct amount of nutrition. This is a popular time of year for bringing home puppies so I’d like to take the opportunity to review basic puppy feeding guidelines for the first year of life while covering your question which may also answer any future questions you or other readers may have.
First 6 to 8 Weeks
During the first six to eight weeks of life the puppy should stay with the mother and be allowed to nurse ad-lib. It is especially important they nurse from the mother. The mother’s milk provides the best nutrition and provides antibodies to help protect your puppy from disease. Sometimes it is not possible to keep a puppy with the mother for the first eight weeks such as when the mother develops eclampsia or mastitis. In these situations milk replacers and bottles especially designed for puppies can be found at any major pet store.
Weaning Your Puppy to Solid Food
Weaning your puppy to solid food should not be an overnight endeavor but should ideally take place over the course of two to three weeks. First select the brand of puppy food you intend to feed. Puppies have high caloric and nutritional needs and so the food selected should be a high quality brand of puppy food. Talk to your veterinarian for specific recommendations but generally the best puppy foods will be a good source of protein, calcium and calories.
Starting around four to six weeks of age begin introducing your puppy to puppy food by making a gruel by blending the puppy food with milk replacer. Offer the gruel three to four times a day gradually reducing the amount of milk replaced used to make the gruel. This way your puppy gradually learns to adapt to solid food and gastric upset is minimized. By around eight weeks of age your puppy should be eating solid food.
How Often to Feed Your Pup
Puppies should be fed three to four times a day therefore if you are currently feeding ¾ a cup of puppy food twice a day you should consider spacing it out by feeding ½ cup three times a day.
Smaller meals are easier to digest for the puppy and energy levels don’t peak and fall so much with frequent meals. At around six months you may start feeding twice a day for convenience but because your dog is a mixed large breed dog I would recommend sticking with a 3-4 times a day feeding schedule if possible to minimize the risk of gastric dilatation volvulus.

Move on From Puppy Food
Puppy food is very high in calories and nutritional supplements so you want to switch to adult food once your puppy begins to approach maturity. There is no set age when the switch should be made because it will vary with the breed and individual dog.
In general, the smaller the dog the faster they reach maturity. Small breeds up to 30 pounds mature around ten to twelve months of age although some toy breeds reach maturity even sooner. Medium breed dogs up to 80 pounds will reach maturity between twelve to sixteen months and I believe your puppy may fall into this category. It really depends how much Great Pyrenees she has in her. Large breed dogs weighing more than 80 pounds can take up to two years to reach maturity.
When making the switch to adult food, do it slowly over the course of one to two weeks by gradually mixing in increasing amounts of the adult food with decreasing amounts of her puppy food to minimize gastric upset.
Foods to Avoid
Try to avoid foods that list corn or meat by-products as the first ingredient because meat should be the first ingredient.
Avoid feeding your dog puppy food longer than you have to. Feeding puppy food too long can result in obesity and orthopedic problems. You will know when it is time to make the switch when you notice your dog eating less of the puppy food or if she starts to put on too much weight.
Don’t Let Your Dog Get Chubby
It is important to be able to judge your dog’s body condition score in order to determine how much food you should give.The recommendations on the labels are guidelines only and will not apply to every dog. You may need to feed a little more or less depending on your dog’s condition score.
Ideally you should be able to feel but not see the ribs and by looking straight down at your dog while she is standing there should be a recognizable waist. Ask your veterinarian if your dog is at a healthy weight during your next visit and ask for examples of body condition scores.

How To Take Care of a 6 Week Old Puppy
At 6 weeks old, a puppy is still too young to be taken from its mother. Ideally, a puppy should be taken from its mother after 8 weeks. However, in rare circumstances where a puppy is weaned at 6 weeks, these tips below will help you care for a 6-week-old puppy.

How much should a 6 week old puppy eat?
Puppies cannot consume large quantities of food like larger dogs. So be sure to feed the puppy small portions of food. You should also stay close when feeding the pup to prevent overeating.
Puppies can eat raw food or pup food. Milk or similar supplements are not needed at this time. When the pup is up to 8 weeks old, the food intake can increase. However, you still should not overfeed the pup.
Good puppy foods must contain protein or meat as the main ingredient. You can also add foods with fruit, vegetables, minerals, and added vitamins.
It is important to note that puppy breeds differ, so this is why Pitbull puppies need different types of food from Chihuahuas. If you aren’t sure about what to feed the puppy, contact a vet to get the best information about your puppy’s nutrition.
Can 6 week old puppies drink milk?
Milk is great for humans as it provides energy. However, it is unsafe to feed a dog milk from a cow. This is because cow milk causes diarrhea for dogs. If you must give the puppy milk, then opt for goat milk. You can also hand feed your puppy soft foods that are pup friendly.
While you give the puppy goat milk, remember that the puppy needs water for hydration. Give him water often to keep him healthy and hydrated. The water can also come in handy when the pup has diarrhea. Keep a clean bowl of water for the puppy.
6 week old puppy feeding schedule
Normally, a puppy should be fed at least four times a day. Smaller meals are recommended because they are a lot easier to digest. It also gives the puppy perfect energy levels for the day. When your pup is about six months old, you can reduce feeding to twice a day. However, if the dog is a large mixed breed, you can stick to the original feeding pattern to reduce the risk of illness.
Remember to move on from feeding the dog puppy food as he grows. Puppy food has high calories, so you need to make the switch before the puppy becomes an adult dog. Vets do not recommend any set age to switch because breeds and individuality differ in dogs.
Generally, when a dog is smaller, he reaches maturity faster. Smaller breeds that weigh up to 30 pounds may mature at 10 to 12 months. Other smaller breeds mature waster too. Dogs weighing 80 pounds mature at 12 to 16 months while larger dogs take up to two years.
As you switch to adult dog food. Take up to a week or more to complete the training. Start by mixing small to large amounts of adult dog food with the puppy food. Remember to reduce the quantity to prevent a gastric upset.
6 week old puppy training
You must train your puppy on how to behave, toilet habits and more. Your pup also learns by playing with you. However, you should try to do this without touching the pup because the puppy may not like this. The touching can also make the puppy aggressive later in his life.
While playing, you can begin to teach your dog some commands such as sitting and standing. To teach the puppy, repeat the words severally until he begins to respond. Ensure that you have some treats nearby to appreciate the pup’s hard work. This training is important while the pup is young as it helps the dog to grow up well behaved.
You should train your dog not to bite humans. Puppies often bite as a form of play but as he grows, it can become a habit. Teach the puppy not to bite anyone using different tricks. Be attentive towards the pup so you can tell if he bites people around.
When it comes to toilet training, it can be stressful to train the puppy. But it is necessary to prevent bad toilet habits when the puppy is grown. Start the training with a newspaper.
Start by laying the newspaper in the puppy’s house and teaching him that he should use that newspaper whenever they need to answer nature’s call. The training can be hectic and requires lots of patience.
It is better to schedule a time for the puppy to ease himself. A two-hour interval may be ideal. After giving the puppy water, you may also take him out to pee.
Also, you can reduce water intake for the pup before bedtime to prevent messes. Also, don’t forget to take the pup out when he wakes up so he can ease himself.
Using the same spot for the training is important. It helps the pup to recognize the specific spot when he wants to pee.
Praising your pup is also important. it makes it fun for the pup and doesn’t seem like a form of punishment. Tie a small bell on the doorknob to train the puppy on how to send a message to you that he has to go.
Ringing the bell before taking your pup out will teach the puppy to do the same. It may take a while to get used to, but he will learn to be patient.
At 6 weeks old, a pup isn’t aware of social skills and you need to train him on how to interact with people and other animals. The puppy has to learn proper interaction with humans being and animals. A park is a suitable spot for this exercise. If you have any friends with experience in dog training, you can also invite them over to help the pup get used to other people.
Your puppy should also have adequate training on how to be home alone. If this training isn’t done, the dog may become hyper when no one is home and go on a rampage. The pup can begin to chew on items in the house and create a mess.
To train the pup in this aspect, place the crate in one spot with water, a food bowl and some newspapers. Allow the pup to stay there alone for a short while. This training can be started in one week. It may take some time and the pup may be aggressive at the start but will calm down later on. If the pup’s behavior improves, be sure to give him a treat.
What to do with 6 week old puppy crying at night
Puppies cry when they need to alert their owners of a problem. During the first few days with you, a puppy may cry instinctively to tell you that he is afraid, in pain, hungry or just needs to pee. Giving the puppy attention will help reassure him that he is not alone. it could stop the crying at night.
How to handle a 6 week old puppy with fleas
If your pup has fleas, you need to groom him using a flea comb. You can also pick the fleas off using a tweezer. After doing this, wash the pup’s bedding, clean the surrounding areas and treat the other pets in the house for fleas.
What to do if your 6 week old puppy sleeps a lot
Puppies sleep a lot so you should not worry when your pup sleeps a lot. However, you need to check the sleeping schedule of the pup to ensure that he gets enough sleep.
Your pup should get at least 18 hours of sleep daily like a newborn child. So, ensure that the pup has a comfortable spot to sleep in.
Sleeping is crucial as it helps develop the immune system of the pup. It also helps your pup to rest well and have more energy to play.
Why does my 6 week old puppy have diarrhea?
Diarrhea in puppies can be a sign of parasites, worms or even a change in diet. You need to monitor your pup closely. What seems like a stomach bug may be fatal for pups who have underdeveloped immune systems. Take the pup to the vet if you notice diarrhea.
Conclusion
Having a six week old puppy under your care is like caring for a newborn human. You need to be very patient with your pet. You also need to ensure that you give the pup attention as you teach him different life skills. Your friends and family can help you train the pup as well. To help the pup socialize better, you can throw parties for puppies so the pup can blend in with other pets in the house.
Taking care of your 6 week old pup is no easy task, but following these simple steps, you can train a healthy adult dog.
Everything You Need To Know| Petfinder
There’s a lot to plan for a puppy’s arrival. At the top of the list is how much to feed a puppy. Your puppy’s portions depend on his breed, weight, and age. Plan ahead and create a puppy feeding schedule that is consistent, nutritionally balanced and meets his energy requirements.
Why feeding puppies puppy food is important
Puppies need a lot of calories, extra protein, and more fat to help sustain growth, so puppy food is balanced accordingly. Typically, puppy food also includes some of the nutrients found in mother’s milk, like the Omega Fatty Acid DHA.
To ensure you’re selecting a puppy food, make sure it is labeled specifically for puppies or says “for all life stages” somewhere on the package.
Puppy feeding chart
How much to feed a puppy and how often to feed a puppy depends first and foremost on his age. The easiest way to remember how much to feed a puppy is to create a puppy feeding chart that matches your puppy’s breed and weight at maturity.
Very young puppies need to eat a high-quality puppy food diet approximately 3 to 4 times per day. The frequency of feeding puppies goes down to 3 times per day at around 3 to 6 months of age, and 2 times per day at around 6 to 12 months.
After about a year, most puppies can transition to a nutritionally balanced adult dog food diet 2 times per day.

Check the back of your puppy’s food packaging to get accurate portion sizes for his weight.
*Toy and smaller breeds may be able to transition to adult food a little earlier (some as early as 7 to 9 months), while some giant breeds don’t reach adulthood until around 18-24 months. Ask your veterinarian for specific guidance here, and if you have any doubts as to when your puppy has officially become a full-grown dog, keep him on puppy food a little longer. When it comes to feeding puppies, it’s better to give a few extra nutrients than not enough.
What to feed puppies in the first year
As a new pet parent, you’ll find no shortage of dog food choices for feeding puppies. Puppies grow at a rapid pace, and a few food transitions are to be expected.
Starting Solids: 8 weeks old
Typically, solids introduced at 8 weeks of age.
Transition the pup slowly to solids, usually over 5 – 7 weeks.
At first, wet the kibble with water.
Allow the kibble to soak for a few minutes so that’s it’s soft.
Continue to wet the kibble with water over several weeks.
Each week use 1 tsp less water to soften the food.
By week 3 – 4, your puppy’s meals should be mostly crunchy kibble.
At week 7, he should be fully transitioned onto the dry dog food.
Regular Feeding: 6 – 12 months old
At 6 to 12 months establish regular eating times.
Start serving 2 feedings per day.
Create your own puppy feeding schedule routine.
The first step on the schedule is to leave the bowl of food on the floor for a set amount of time.
For beginners, start with 5 to 15 minutes, depending on how fast your dog eats.
Be consistent with the schedule and always use the same place to feed your dog, same time, and same time period.
Your dog will learn how this schedule works for the next 2 weeks.
Once your puppy is familiar with regular meal times you’ll find that they’re followed by regular potty times.
Bonus! More solid foods make picking up after your pup a lot easier.
Switching to Adult Dog Food: 1+ years
Adult dog food is introduced from a year old.
Transition your puppy slowly by mixing the new food into his puppy portions.
Meals should be a mix of 75% puppy food to 25% adult food.
Continue to serve mixed portions for about 2 – 3 days.
Gradually increase the adult food and decrease the puppy food by 10%.
By day 5 or 6, your puppy should be fully transitioned, eating 100% adult food.
Patience is key and a slow transition will help your puppy’s stomach adjust.
The whole process should take about a week.
Which dog food diet is healthier: Wet vs Dry vs Raw
Selecting a puppy food can be daunting. Most major dog food companies work with pet food nutritionists and adhere to strict guidelines for creating complete and balanced nutrition. The most important thing to remember when choosing a dog food diet is that it’s appropriate for your pup’s life stage.
While there are many pros and cons of what to feed a puppy, the best food for your pup is the one that he enjoys eating, fits in with your budget and your family’s needs, and has your veterinarian’s seal of approval.

4 Tips to maintain a puppy feeding schedule
You’re well on your way to feeding your pup a perfectly healthy diet. Just don’t overdo it on treats. Keep in mind that treats should take up no more than 10% of your puppy’s total food quota for the day.
Finally, pay attention to your pup’s cues and always keep the following in mind:
Stick to dog food and skip the table scraps; some human foods can make your dog sick.
Keep fresh water out along with any food, and clean both food and water bowls regularly.
Don’t start a medical diet or supplements without a prescription or recommendation.
Always consult a veterinarian with any questions you may have.

Time Schedule
Your puppy needs quality food to grow and develop into a healthy dog. The feeding schedule, how much, how many meals to provide and the type of food depends on the breed of puppy, size, and age.
Amount to Feed
Young puppies are growing rapidly and need more food per pound than older puppies. At the age of 3 months, your puppy will begin to need a little less food. You will need to be careful not to overfeed your dog. A puppy should be losing the round belly at this point. If you still have a roly-poly puppy, you should keep your dog on lower portions until the pot belly is gone.
At age 6 to 12 months you may spay or neuter your dog, which will result in slightly lower needs for calories per day. This is also the age where you may switch from high-calorie puppy food to adult maintenance food, although that will depend on the breed. Smaller breeds switch at age 7 to 9 months while larger breeds stay on puppy food until 12 to 14 months.
The amount you feed depends on your puppy’s age and the type of food you offer. Directions on the food package are only a starting guideline, so be ready to adjust the amount up or down if your baby is still hungry, or leaves food behind.

3-3/4 to 4-1/2
These are estimates. Feeding amount can vary based on breed, size, and age.
How Often to Feed
You will often see daily amounts on the charts provided. You will need to divide these into the multiple meals suggested for puppies of various ages.
Most pups should be fed at least three times a day until six months of age. Tiny puppies like Yorkies and Chihuahuas are prone to hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) if they don’t eat often enough, so four meals daily may work best.
Feed three or four separate meals to young puppies during the first few months at home. Then gradually wean them to one or two meals daily by the time they are 6 months old.
However, there are some puppies that either won’t or aren’t able to eat enough when fed once or twice a day, and their growth may suffer as a result. Ask your veterinarian about feeding smaller servings several times a day.
Making Your Puppy Feeding Time Schedule
It’s tempting to simply fill up the bowl with dry food and let puppies snack all day. While convenient for you, that won’t allow you to monitor the baby’s intake, which also helps predict output—when your dog needs a potty break. Use meal schedules as part of your house training efforts.
Scheduled meals also alert you to check with the vet if your puppy that normally eats enthusiastically one day refuses a meal. Free feeding from a bowl that is always kept full can be dangerous for that reason.
Routine is important, so be consistent. The best way to do that is base the feeding times on your schedule. Dogs consider meals a social affair, so timing your own meals with the puppies can work well.
A first meal might coincide with your own breakfast, the second when the family comes home from school or work in the afternoon, and coordinate the third with your evening meal. If you’re not able to be there to feed at prescribed times, you can provide one of the puppy’s meals in a treat-toy, and leave it with her in her crate or play area while you’re gone.
Feeding puppy meals in the crate or carrier also associate “good things” with the crate. Scheduled meals not only are healthy for the puppy, they aid in house training and crate training, and can be a bonding experience with your puppy.

Puppy care from 1 to 5 months – how to properly feed a puppy – ProPlan
Puppy care up to five months
August 03, 2022
Proper nutrition and good care are the foundations of a dog’s health, longevity and happy life. Therefore, even before buying a puppy, you will need to think carefully about all related issues.
Puppies grow very fast, and for their harmonious development, both physical and mental, the first months of life are very important.
Peculiarities of mental and physical development of puppies by months
Puppy at 1 month old
In one month, or four and a half weeks, puppies still live with their mother, brothers and sisters. Not so long ago they began to hear and see, and during this period they have an active phase of exploring the surrounding space, new sounds, smells, surrounding people and animals. Monthly puppies are still too small to make meaningful actions, as long as they are all based on instincts and communication with their mother. As a rule, breeders do not sell puppies at the age of one month, giving them the opportunity to get stronger, to get the first lessons in socialization. Human interaction during this period is very important for puppies to develop as companion dogs.
From one month to two, puppies have an active phase of memorization or, in other words, an identification phase. The puppy begins to meaningfully recognize parents, form social relationships with littermates and people.
Roar and take away a toy from a brother or sister, bite mother on the cheek to share food, run away from a person or run up to him. During this period, each puppy has a lot of similar questions, the answers to which he receives by performing an action and receiving a reaction. The sister gave the toy away, which means it is weaker, next time you can take the toy away again. Mom growled and shook her scruff, so don’t bite her on the cheek. The person came and pleasantly stroked or screamed loudly – depending on the action, the puppy will build its further reactions to repetitive stimuli.
Puppy at 2-3 months old
Two- and three-month-old puppies are very affectionate, inquisitive and sociable. They are active and constantly exploring something. For example, when meeting strangers, they run up to them completely fearlessly, sniff, caress, jump, sometimes bark. Therefore, during this period, they can easily develop positive skills associated with any activity. At this time, the puppy can easily be taught to follow the commands “Place!”, “Come!”, “Walk!”.
Puppy at 3-4 months
Skills for commands “Sit!”, “Lie down!”, “No!” the puppy will work out much easier at the age of 3.5-4 months. This is due to the fact that such commands are based on inhibitory reactions that are not yet developed in the puppy at an earlier age.
Puppy at 4-5 months
At the age of 4-5 months, the puppy needs regular, gradually increasing in time and difficulty walks, which are important both for his physical development and for the accumulation of life experience. During this period, the puppy is developing the characteristics of his nervous system, his character can noticeably change. When meeting with strangers, the puppy may no longer run up to them to start a game, but only observe from the side, and at the first manifestation of even unsharply pronounced threatening actions by outsiders, they get scared and run away. Therefore, this time is also called the period of fears.
At this time, the owner is required to be very careful, affectionate handling of the puppy, careful observation of what may frighten him. You need to try to predict such a moment in order to distract the puppy from the negative reaction in time with a treat or a game.
At what age is it better to take a puppy?
If you are offered to take a puppy at the age of 1 month, it is better not to do this, allowing the baby to grow up in his own family for another month.
No matter at what age you took a puppy, at two months, at three or four, try to establish the right relationship with him from the first day, which is commonly called good contact. This will allow him to develop affection for you, obedience, devotion, and subsequently love. To do this, you need:
always treat your pet calmly,
feed him, walk him, comb him in time – that is, take care of him,
regularly train with him, combining games and initial training.
Try not to let any troubles in life affect your communication with the puppy. Dogs very subtly feel the mood of their owner and react accordingly.
Problems that arise as the puppy grows
Problems that can arise during the growth period of puppies of any breed are mostly related to improper feeding. The amount of feed should be constantly measured in relatively small portions to avoid overeating. Obesity in dogs puts a lot of stress on the heart and circulation. It happens that even weak ligaments and joints are exposed to unnecessary excessive stress in puppies and young dogs. The consequence of this can be diseases associated with the paws and joints. With proper nutrition, the puppy should actively play, run, and explore the territory several times a day. Too tiring walks for several hours in the first year of life should be avoided. If your dog is unwell, contact the dog breeder or veterinarian immediately.
Puppy Care Highlights 2 to 5 Months
In order to lay a solid foundation for your dog’s health from childhood, your puppy will need to be vaccinated and dewormed at specific times.
Deworming and vaccinations
The dog’s breeder performs the first deworming procedures. Together with basic housing and feeding instructions, he will tell you about the exact schedule for further deworming and vaccination procedures. Usually the owner of the puppy gives him an anthelmintic drug before the next vaccination, ten days before it.
1 month
As mentioned above, at the age of one month, the puppy is still too small to separate him from his family. Good breeders do not give away their wards at such a young age, but leave them in the company of their mother, at least for another half a month or a month. During this time, the puppy is actively adapting to the outside world.
If, nevertheless, the circumstances are such that you have a one-month-old puppy, then you will need to give him the first vaccination when he is 6 weeks old. If you are unsure about the best time to start vaccinating, contact your breeder or veterinarian.
2 months
If you pick up your puppy from a breeder at 2-2.5 months of age, the breeder usually does the first vaccination. This happens when the puppies are 8-9 weeks old, so he comes to you already vaccinated. The second vaccination should be done by the owner when the puppy is 12 weeks old. It must be remembered that until the second vaccination is given to the puppy, he must be quarantined. For a detailed explanation of the timing of vaccinations, you can contact the puppy’s breeder.
3 months
If for some reason the puppy did not receive its first vaccination either at 6 weeks of age or at 8-9 weeks of age, the third variant of the vaccination schedule should be used. This means that the puppy should be vaccinated for the first time at 12 weeks of age and revaccinated between 14 and 16 weeks of age. In order not to get confused in the timing and make the necessary vaccinations on time, it is recommended to have a calendar where the puppy’s age in weeks and the necessary weeks for vaccination will be marked. Or you can seek the advice of a veterinarian.
A later vaccination date does not change the fact that the puppy will have to be quarantined until he has had his second vaccination. This means that he will not yet be able to communicate with his relatives on the street.
4 months old
If your puppy has been vaccinated according to the standard vaccination schedule, this means that at 4 months old he is already fully vaccinated, the quarantine is lifted, and you can enjoy walking together, getting to know other dogs and doing initial training.
5 months
At the age of 5 months, the puppy should be active, already fully accustomed to the house, know his nickname, a few basic commands, understand what is possible and what is not.
During this period, he still continues to change his teeth from milk to permanent, which begins at about three months and lasts up to seven months. During this period, you need to monitor the puppy’s oral cavity, monitoring whether milk teeth fall out. This is important both for the health of the dog and for the formation of the correct bite.
Care for the health and appearance of the puppy
Training for walks
Regardless of the time of year, it is necessary to accustom the puppy to walks. Immediately after sleep and after each feeding, the puppy must be taken outside for 5-10 minutes to accustom him to the toilet. The more often you take your puppy outside, the faster he will understand what is wanted from him, and the faster he will get used to going to the toilet outside the house.
Longer walks, for the sake of play and active movement, are recommended between feedings. It is worth slightly increasing the time spent outdoors from 15 minutes to two hours a day, depending on the weather and season. Of course, it is important to consider the breed and age of the puppy. At first, a two-three-month-old puppy can be carried outside in your arms. At the same time, if the puppy has not yet completed the entire course of vaccinations, all contact with other dogs should be excluded.
During the walk, the puppy must be in motion, do not let him sit or lie on the cold ground. At two months, it is already possible to teach a puppy to a leash. The puppy gets used to the soft light collar quickly. At first, you need to lead him on a leash so that the puppy feels that you are leading him. Follow him (the leash should be long enough) and carefully, without jerking, take him away from unwanted places. It is necessary to ensure that the puppy does not eat unsuitable food items from the street.
By the third or fourth month during a walk, you can walk up to one and a half kilometers with a puppy of a large breed, with a puppy of a medium or small breed, this distance should be proportionally reduced. Increase the distance gradually, do not tire the puppy with too much exercise, otherwise he will lose his appetite and will not grow well.
With a five-month-old puppy, you can already run in deep snow, earth, sand, play active outdoor games, swim, let him accompany his owner on a ski or bike ride. But even here you can’t overwork the puppy, at the first sign of fatigue, you need to take a break or stop walking.
When walking with a puppy, teach him not to pay attention to noise, not to be afraid of cars, gradually moving with him from quiet streets to more noisy ones. The puppy needs both free walking and playing with peers. Socialization is especially needed for a puppy living in a private home. Keep him away from stray and unfamiliar dogs, as they can infect him with infectious diseases. During walks, you can teach your puppy to play with balloons: praise him and rejoice with him when the balloon bursts. This game will strengthen the psyche, and the puppy will not be afraid of fireworks and explosions of firecrackers.
If the puppy lives in an apartment, walks are allowed after the first vaccination. But you need to make sure that he does not meet other dogs on the street until the second vaccination. If the puppy will live in a private house, where he will be alone on his territory, you can start walking from the first day of being at home.
After a walk, especially in wet weather, wipe or wash the puppy’s paws and stomach. In winter, it is simply necessary to do this so that street reagents do not irritate or injure the skin on the paw pads.
Everyday care
Grooming time is not just a time for caring for a puppy, but also a great opportunity to communicate, establish contact, and caress a pet.
Grooming
A short haired puppy needs a natural bristle brush and a fine metal comb for shedding care. An ideal care product for short-haired dogs is a massage mitt. For puppies of long-haired breeds, a slicker brush is still needed.
Puppies of all breeds will also need nail clippers, towels, shampoos. Bathe your puppy only as needed. Combing the more often, the better – this is how the puppy gets used to being touched, and this will come in handy in the future. Put the puppy down regularly, inspect the tummy, paws. In the future, he will not be afraid of human hands.
If you have a puppy of a breed that is characterized by a very long coat or a coat with a thick undercoat, you can go to a professional groomer to get the puppy used to brushing from childhood.
Dental care
Clean teeth are essential for good health. On sale now there is a large number of a wide variety of chewing sticks that act as a toothbrush, as well as special toothpastes and brushes for dogs.
During the growth period from 3 to 7 months, puppies change teeth from milk to permanent. At this time, it is important to follow the process of changing, and if necessary, contact the services of a veterinarian.
Ear Care
Bathing a puppy is only necessary if, for example, he is dirty in something. After each walk, wash and wipe the paws and stomach. When you wash your pet, be careful not to get water in his ears: moisture in the ear canal can promote fungal and other diseases. If the ears are dirty, take a damp swab and lightly remove the dirt. If the ears are dirty inside, wipe them with a cotton swab moistened with a special lotion, but not deep. Clean ears must be dry. In puppies with hanging ears, the ear canals are closed and not ventilated, therefore, for prevention, we recommend using special ear cleaners once every one to two weeks.
Nail care
Nails trimmed as needed. If the dog wears off its claws during walks, they are not trimmed. It is advisable to regularly feel the paws and fingers: if someday the dog cuts its paw, you will be able to provide first aid in a timely manner and apply a bandage.
Long claws can cause paws to turn out even when set correctly. When shearing, the claws are shortened, and the paw becomes in place, so it is very important to ensure that the claws do not grow unnecessarily. Start clipping or sharpening your puppy’s nails as early as possible, every one to two weeks. For small puppies, clippers from a manicure set are well suited. When conventional clippers are no longer suitable, you will need to use special clippers for dog claws. There are blood vessels in every claw, and if you hit them, they will bleed, so try to avoid this when trimming your nails. If trouble happens, treat with hydrogen peroxide or use a special hemostatic pencil that can be bought at a pharmacy.
Puppy Nutrition
Feeding Basics
Puppies should receive a balanced diet of excellent quality, since it is up to the age of one that the foundation is laid for their health for life. The owner of the dog is obliged to provide food that is appropriate for the size of the dog and its breed. You can’t go to extremes, believing that the dog can eat everything and feed it with leftovers from the table. But it is also impossible to humanize a pet, deciding that the pet will receive only the most delicious, and give him delicacies that are intended for people – they will cause only one harm to the dog.
Improper nutrition can lead to obesity, internal diseases or skin diseases. Only nutrition that maintains the health of the animal will be correct. Therefore, it is very important to balance the dog’s diet in terms of the content of the main food components: proteins, fats, carbohydrates.
The easiest way to do this is to use ready-made puppy food, where the content of all these elements, as well as vitamins and minerals, is taken into account, calculated and balanced.
What are the main components of food for dogs
Meat should form the basis of the dog’s diet – be part of the food or be the basis of natural nutrition. Meat is the main source of protein . But if the dog eats exclusively tenderloin, or, conversely, only defective parts (veins, skin and cartilage), this will lead to indigestion, so the meat base must be mixed from both pure meat and offal. This includes animal fat, which serves as a source of energy. Protein is also found in fish, seafood, dairy products and eggs.
To maintain healthy teeth and bones, skin and coat, the dog needs unsaturated fatty acids contained in vegetable oils. They are found both in plant products (sunflower, peanut, olive, soybean oil, sprouted wheat grains), and in animal products – in oily fish (salmon), in eggs. An excellent source of unsaturated fatty acids is fish oil.
Carbohydrates – energy providers for the body. They are found, for example, in cereals and are often added to ready-made feeds so that the dog eats up and has enough strength for active games and walks.
A complete diet must also contain vitamins and minerals necessary not only for building the skeleton, but also for other metabolic processes. The body of a growing dog undergoes continuous restructuring. As a “building material” for bones and muscles, a puppy needs protein and carbohydrates, and vitamins and minerals as energy suppliers for metabolic processes. The total feed should consist of about a third of protein, at least 5% of fat and at least half of carbohydrates.
Thus, if you decide to feed your puppy with natural food, you will need to take into account all of the above about food components in order to create a complete diet for him. In addition, it will be necessary to constantly adjust it, since the needs of the body will change with age. For example, as strange as it may seem, puppies and young dogs require more food than adult dogs of the same weight; up to five months – twice as much, and then – by about 50%. Their food should be two-thirds, and later at least half, consist of meat and other protein substances. It is easiest to follow the correct serving size by reading the information on the package of ready-made food that is appropriate for the age and needs of the dog.
By choosing ready-made puppy food, you will provide the puppy with all the necessary nutrients, you will be able to change the food according to the age of the growing pet, offer him different tastes. In order to give out the required daily allowance, you will need to read the recommendations on the package.
How to properly feed a puppy from 1 to 5 months old
It is impossible to create the perfect diet for all puppies at once. Here you will need to take into account factors such as the breed, age, size and activity level of the puppy. Feeding a puppy taken from a breeder should continue for the first time according to the recommendations of the latter.
In the third or fourth week of life, puppies, in addition to mother’s milk, begin to receive the first complementary foods. Accordingly, it is the breeder who decides what kind of food the puppies will eat in the first months – either natural food or industrial food designed for very young puppies up to 1-2 months old. So when you pick up a puppy, which can be between one and a half and five months old, his digestive system will be adapted to exactly the food he received in his first months of life. For at least one week, you will need to keep your feeding schedule and diet unchanged to avoid digestive upsets caused by restructuring and the stress of moving to a new place. It will be easier for the puppy to get used to the new conditions, and then the change of home will be painless for him.
Later, if for any reason you wish to change your young pet’s diet, you can do so at any time. In this case, the best option would be to consult a breeder or veterinarian who will give you valuable recommendations.
Puppies should not be fed a day’s worth of food at one time, their stomach is too small to properly digest the entire amount of food; the consequence of this will be an overload of the stomach. In addition, the ligaments, joints and bones will receive too much stress, which will only bring harm. In a healthy, well-fed puppy, the ribs do not protrude visually, but should be felt with the palm of your hand.
Underfeeding a puppy in the first months and up to a year will have negative consequences that are very difficult to correct. That is why it is so important to feed your puppy in a balanced way and to follow the exact feeding time. Following these two rules will help you keep his weight normal.
After eating, the puppy should be allowed to rest, as is customary with wild animals after a hearty meal. Otherwise, when playing immediately after eating, a life-threatening situation of twisting of a full stomach, which occurs in dogs of large breeds, may occur.
Number of feedings for puppies of different ages:
1st month – 5-6 times a day;
2-4 months – 4 times a day;
5th month – 3 times a day.
Divide the day from morning to evening into equal intervals and try to feed the puppy at this designated time.
What not to give to puppies:
Rich meat broths.
Chicken bones (tubular).
Boiled bones.
Smoked, salted, fatty.
Sweets, chocolate in any form, cakes.
Legumes.
Cabbage.
All of these foods are either poisonous to dogs or can damage the digestive tract, disrupt metabolism, or cause gas.
Only a general diet is described here, for more detailed recommendations you can always contact the breeder or veterinarian. In the future, having studied the needs of the puppy, you yourself will be able to select the appropriate food and treats for him in order to raise a healthy dog out of him.
Industrial food for puppies
In terms of protein and other essential substances, ready-made feeds fully comply with scientifically sound standards. The modern way of canning preserves vitamins better than home cooking. In the manufacture of destroyed pathogens contained in the meat. Another advantage is that you can always have a supply of food in the house. For example, when traveling, ready-made food is the easiest solution to a feeding problem. Dry food contains five times less water than normal wet food, so make sure you have water in a separate bowl. 200g of dry food has approximately the same nutritional value as 850g of whole food in a can, or 400g of meat and 125g of porridge. In this case, no additional goodies are needed – they lead to obesity!
Proper feeding of a puppy is the basis for the formation of a healthy animal. He needs more high-calorie food with a high protein content. During this period, the puppy’s digestive tract is not yet fully formed, and as the transition from mother’s milk to ready-made feeds, the bacterial flora of the intestine accumulates.
When choosing a puppy’s diet, it is important to consider its age, size or breed, level of physical activity and individual health status. All these parameters are taken into account in PRO PLAN 9 super premium dry food0227® .
For large breed puppies, PRO PLAN ® OPTISTART ® for large breed puppies is suitable: it contains a balanced content of such important elements as calcium and phosphorus, which are necessary in the correct proportion for the growth and development of bones and joints, which is especially important for large dog puppies.
For puppies of medium breeds, as well as small and toy breeds, the OPTISTART ® range also includes breed-specific specialty foods.
Water
Water, always fresh and clean, never icy, must be freely available to the puppy at all times. Although a healthy dog will hardly drink on food with normal moisture, he should be able to quench his thirst in the heat, after some effort, or with a certain food. Persistent increased thirst for no recognizable cause is a sign of illness.
Possible diseases in puppies
Puppies, like all children, can get sick with something. Diseases can be infectious and non-infectious, traumatic in origin and genetically transmitted. If you can encounter the latter unexpectedly, since some diseases that are inherited may appear at a later age, then other types of diseases can be avoided. To do this, you will need to strictly follow the recommendations for caring for a puppy, feed him properly and monitor his health.
Infectious diseases
Parvovirus enteritis is a dangerous infectious disease, one of the symptoms of which is intestinal upset. The lethality of this disease in puppies reaches 90%. You can avoid it by making the puppy the necessary vaccination on time.
Canine distemper – a viral infection that is very dangerous for puppies, almost always leads to death. It can manifest itself in various forms, the most dangerous is the nervous form. Vaccination is made against the plague of carnivores.
Adenovirus and canine viral hepatitis – infectious diseases caused by adenoviruses of the first and second types. Transmitted by airborne droplets or saliva from a sick dog. Most dangerous for puppies and young dogs. A timely vaccination against these diseases will protect the young pet.
Leptospirosis – an acute infectious disease that is contagious to humans, can be fatal to a puppy. The carriers of the disease are rats. Vaccination minimizes the risk of contracting the disease.
Rabies is a fatal viral infection that is contagious to humans and fatal to dogs and humans. Rabies vaccination is mandatory and annual.
Parasites
Internal parasites
For all types of internal parasites that a puppy can infect (for example, roundworms, tapeworms, heartworms, heartworms and others), special antihelminthic drugs have been developed that need to be given to the puppy periodically.
External parasites
Fleas, lice, mites, which can infect a puppy while walking or communicating with relatives, not only cause him discomfort, but can also become a source of more serious diseases, causing otitis media, various dermatological diseases. Therefore, it is mandatory to periodically treat the puppy from external parasites. You can check the processing schedule with the breeder or veterinarian.
Other diseases
A puppy can also get sick for various other reasons, for example, hypothermia, as a result of which he will develop cystitis . Or, if you take a puppy in a car with open windows, where he will look out, then he may develop conjunctivitis . If the puppy lags behind in growth and development , or he starts lameness – the problem may be related to improper nutrition.
Of course, it is impossible to protect a puppy from all diseases one hundred percent. Therefore, you, as a responsible owner, should always carefully monitor any changes in the behavior and mood of the puppy, and at the first sign of illness, seek help from a veterinarian.
If you follow the correct feeding regimen, make vaccinations and deworming on time, give feasible physical activity in accordance with the age of the puppy, then you can avoid most diseases, giving your pet a happy childhood.

what and how many times to feed
When a small fluffy pet appears in the house, the first question that worries a caring owner is what is better to feed a puppy? What foods are suitable for his diet? And what is better to give the baby: natural food or industrial food? In the article we will tell you what to feed a puppy, how many times a day it should be done, and also how to calculate a portion of food, taking into account the age and breed of the animal.

The selection of a diet for a small pet is a very crucial moment, because a balanced diet guarantees the full development of the body and the prevention of possible diseases.
Important: When choosing food for a puppy (purchased food or natural food), you must be guided by one simple rule – do not overfeed. Overeating can lead to joint problems, poor pet health, organ diseases and other serious diseases. Therefore, it is important to correctly calculate the portion that is given to the puppy.
Of course, you can spoil your pet. For example, before going to bed, give him porridge with milk or meat. But it doesn’t have to happen every day.
Feeding a puppy with natural food
Many owners prefer to feed their dogs with natural products because:
they are cheaper than ready-made food;
the owner is confident in the quality of the food he gives to the pet.
But natural food also has a lot of drawbacks. During the growth period, the puppy eats a lot, so you will often have to buy and prepare food for him.
If this prospect does not scare you, then here are some tips for choosing a diet for your baby. So that he does not get poisoned, you must ensure that the products are fresh. Meat “smell” at a low price will have a bad effect on the puppy’s health. Remember, he is a small child and should be treated responsibly.
Second rule: no table feeding! Food for him must be prepared separately, fried meat, fragrant barbecue, various soups will surely cause pleasant sensations in people, but not in a puppy. For him, this food is bad.
What foods can be fed to a growing dog?
Milk
Dogs up to 4 months of age should be fed with milk. You can offer it raw or cook porridge from it. But not all milk will do. It is better to give preference to goat, it rarely causes allergies and is better accepted by the body. If such milk cannot be found, you can offer cow’s milk to the puppy, but before that, be sure to dilute it with water.
Closer to six months, milk begins to be canceled, reducing its amount.
Important: Animals older than eight months should not be given milk.
Dairy products
Improves pet’s digestion and enriches the body with calcium. A puppy can be pleased with cottage cheese, kefir, low-fat sour cream. Hard cheeses are also useful, they are usually used as a treat when training a dog.
Meat
Meat should make up at least 40% of your puppy’s daily diet. It is better to give raw meat, but you can also safely feed your pet frozen, boiled and scalded meat.
Do not feed bones to your puppy. They break and can injure the digestive organs. You can make bone broth and add it to porridge.
It is also not recommended to feed pork to dogs, regardless of their age.
Fish and seafood
Thinking about what to feed a puppy, include fish in the menu. It can be given twice a week. It is better to offer your baby sea fish (since river fish can be harmful), squid, shrimp and pollock. Do not mix fish with meat.
Vegetables
Vegetables contain a large amount of vitamins, so it is worth accustoming a puppy to them. You can offer them together with cottage cheese or porridge, as well as rubbed on a fine grater, in the form of mashed potatoes or stewed. The most useful vegetables include pumpkin, carrots, zucchini and greens.
Berries and fruits
Beneficial for a growing organism, so they are advised to be used as a supplement to food intake. It is not recommended to give bananas because they can speed up weight gain. Also, do not offer grapes and currants that cause bloating.
Cereals
No need to make porridge the main dish. Cereals have a beneficial effect on digestion, but they are the basis of nutrition, but only supplement the milk and meat diet.
Puppies may like porridges such as:
semolina;
buckwheat;
rice;
oatmeal.
If your baby has diarrhea, temporarily eliminate the porridge you fed him.
Eggs
Saturate the dog’s body with protein. It is recommended to give twice a week.
Industrial food
How to feed your pet with dry food? This question is asked by any responsible owner who decides to make purchased food the basis of the nutrition of a new pet. Some owners believe that such feeds do not contain enough substances for the proper growth of the pet. But this is not the case, the food is designed to not only satisfy the dog’s hunger, but also provide it with the necessary vitamins and minerals. Purchased food is well balanced, it is easy to give it to your pet, the main thing is to follow the dosage instructions.
What is the right way to feed a puppy?
Purchased food for small puppies must be soaked in advance. About half an hour before feeding, fill it with water so that it swells. It is forbidden to soak the granules in broths.
Follow the dosage instructions on the package. Do not underestimate or exceed the dose. If the dosage is exceeded, dry food can cause rapid weight gain.
There are cases when a dog needs to be transferred from regular food to dry food, but not abruptly, but gradually. We recommend discussing the transition with your veterinarian before doing so.
If you do not know what food to feed your puppy, it is better to give preference to premium lines. Typically, these types of feed contain a greater amount of minerals and vitamins.

Daily Feeding Rate
Dose food according to the dog’s age. The younger the pet, the more often you need to fill the bowl.
Baby from 1 month old should be fed 5-6 times a day. During this period, the puppy should already be eating on its own, and it must be gradually transferred from milk to adult food.
From 2 to 4 months it is recommended to feed 4-5 times a day.
From 4 to 5 months – 2-4 times.
Dog food from 6 to 10 years old – three times a day.
From 10 to 12 months – 2 times.
At night you definitely need a break between meals. So the dog’s stomach rests, and it develops the habit of eating at a certain time.
Important: should not be increased by skipping meals. Feed your dog the usual amount of food.
Diet depending on the breed
The difference in feeding puppies of certain breeds is due not only to their size, but also to their predisposition to allergies and diseases. So be sure to check with your veterinarian or breeder about the best food to feed your puppy and what eating disorders they may have on specific foods.
Puppies of small breeds
The nutrition of puppies must include trace elements necessary for the formation of internal organs. When selecting food or natural food, it is important to serve food in small portions, in small granules or pieces. Food must be free of solid particles.
The puppies are taken from their mother at about 2-4 months of age, at which time the breeder is already feeding. Therefore, the owner will be aware of the habitual diet of a new friend. Better to follow it. If the owner does not like the brand of food or certain foods and dishes, you need to slowly transition the dog to other elements that will be included in the new diet. It is allowed to continue the transfer only if the pet does not develop allergies and disorders.
Medium breed puppies
Medium breeds, usually hunting. In the ratio of their mass and the amount of food they need, they require the most food. This is due to the fact that they have a large loss of energy.
The list of products for natural nutrition in such breeds with their maturation remains virtually unchanged. And for all ages, there are special types of purchased feed. They are easy to use – just follow the instructions.
Large dogs
Large breed dogs require a large amount of food, which is natural given their size and energy expenditure. In addition, animals that live in enclosures or in yards require even more food. But large dogs can be transferred to a single meal.
If you see that the animal does not eat enough or refuses to eat, the volumes or meals should be reduced.
Feeding the puppy depending on its age
In the first two months of life, the puppy is only learning to feed himself from a bowl. Therefore, as a rule, dogs are offered at the age of 2-3 months. Breeders begin to feed the baby just at this time. For complementary foods, commercially available pastes and pates specifically for puppies or dairy products and low-fat broths are usually used.
Feeding a one-month-old puppy
If you bought a baby who is only one month old, you need to be very careful about his nutrition. Suitable foods for feeding are:
milk;
cereals;
vegetables;
cottage cheese.
Feed the dog every three hours. When the age of the animal reaches 1.5 months, you need to gradually increase the dose. But the list of products remains unchanged.
Food is best served ground (no blender allowed). During this period, it is necessary to teach the baby to chew food, so it is better to boil the meat first, and serve it raw at the age of 2 months.
Important: food should not be cold.
Feeding a two-month-old puppy
Changes include doubling the food dosage and including seafood in the menu (if the growing dog is not allergic to them). The main food items should remain milk and porridge. When the puppy is four months old, their number gradually decreases and they are replaced by meat.
Feeding a three-month-old baby
At three months, the diet is expanded. You can add eggs, dairy products and fruits. Foods high in protein should make up the bulk of the diet, with the rest being carbohydrates and dairy products.
From four months to six months, the basic principles of nutrition are preserved, there should be more protein. From six months, feeding pets approaches the diet of an adult dog.
sample menu and nutrition rules
Proper and balanced feeding of a puppy is a necessary component of its healthy growth and development. At the age of up to a year, a pet’s teeth, skeleton, and muscles are formed. Therefore, from the first days, the owner must be very attentive and responsible to nutrition. The better the diet is selected, the more healthy and active the dog will grow.

Frequency of feeding per day
Puppies need a specific number of meals according to their age. The smaller the baby, the more food he needs. When the puppy is about a month old, he is allowed to feed himself, gradually moving from milk to regular food.
You can get acquainted with the approximate plan using the following table:

From night to morning, the puppy should have a break in food. At this time of day, his gastrointestinal tract should not be loaded with food, so it is better not to feed the baby, even if he begins to whine and howl. And so that the pet does not cry from hunger, at night he needs to be given hearty milk porridge or meat.

If one day the owner violated the schedule and missed one feeding of the puppy, you do not need to treat him with a double portion next time.
Peculiarities of nutrition of week-old puppies without a bitch
Sometimes a person has to somehow replace the mother for newborn puppies. They need to be fed every 2 hours, the temperature of the artificial mixture should be no more than +40 degrees. To do this, you will need to purchase a baby bottle with a nipple, a pipette or a syringe with a rubber nozzle.
It is better to feed week-old puppies with special powdered milk, which can be bought in pet stores. The composition of this food is most similar to dog milk. In addition, you can at home prepare a mixture based on goat or cow’s milk. For 1 liter you need to take 3 yolks, a pinch of salt, 2 tablespoons of vitamins in liquid form and a spoonful of corn oil. Mix all this, bring to a temperature of +35 gr. and feed your baby with a bottle or syringe.

At the age of 3 weeks, the puppy should be fed with ordinary crushed food, controlling the condition of the four-legged cub.
Regardless of the type of feeding, babies need water. It can be given starting from a two-week period.
Diet according to age
Some owners or breeders teach small pets to eat from a bowl without human assistance by 3 weeks. But most often, first complementary foods, and then the training of puppies to eat on their own occurs about a month or a little earlier.
Feeding at 1 month
The basis of a pet’s diet up to one and a half months of age, regardless of breed, is mother’s milk. Therefore, the question of how to feed a small monthly puppy does not cause much difficulty. During this period, it is very important to follow a meal plan. If the bitch has a large litter, but little milk, or the owner is caring for newborn dogs, then veterinarians recommend introducing early first complementary foods – at about 2-3 weeks.
When the pet is 1.5 months old, he will be happy to try other dairy products – low-fat kefir, sour cream, fermented baked milk, cottage cheese. For such a puppy, porridge cooked in milk is also well suited, which can then be cooked in meat broth.

It is important to observe the pet’s weight gain, which will show how useful the chosen diet is for him.
2 months
A puppy at this age is very different from what he was just a month ago. You can already expand the menu, but at the same time you need to carefully and gradually introduce new food. It is recommended to feed the puppy with dairy products for at least another 2 months. But their volume should be gradually reduced.
The table below will help you create and vary a sample menu for a small 2 month old puppy.
In addition, boiled chicken or raw quail eggs can be given to a two-month-old baby 1 to 3 times a week. Fruits will also be useful for a growing body.

Ask a question
Uncooked pet meat should be frozen for at least 3 days, and it is recommended to scald it with boiling water before serving. In one feeding, it is forbidden to combine this ingredient with milk.
3 months
From the age of three months, the puppy is transferred to four meals a day. To keep teeth and bones strong, dairy products should not be excluded from the diet. Food should be varied and rich. If earlier the owner treated the fluffy baby only with natural products, you can’t abruptly transfer him to dry food – this will adversely affect the gastrointestinal tract.
A three-month-old puppy begins to change teeth and develop an overbite, so it is recommended to give him crackers and soft, non-sharp bones. Do not forget about hygiene.
Feeding from 6 months
Approximately from six months old, small pets begin the stage of enhanced physical development. Because of this, they require much more protein food.
A significant portion of the diet is lean meat. The puppy’s menu also includes vegetables, cereals, cereals, boiled or raw eggs. A couple of times a week you can give fish, but due to the low protein content, it needs to be distributed 2 times more. For this, only marine species are suitable – cod, hake, pollock.

Ask a question
You can’t feed a puppy with minced meat. Most often, dogs simply swallow it without chewing it – the pet may have problems with the gastrointestinal tract due to the accumulation of undigested residues.
Puppy dry food
Another food option for growing dogs is dry food. It is healthy, properly balanced, has all the necessary substances and minerals. Such food is divided into the following categories:
economy – the cheapest food with low energy value and a minimum of useful properties;
premium – medium price class, the composition is much better than the previous one;
super premium – mixtures similar to natural products;
elite (holistic) – expensive and healthy food with many additives and ingredients.
Veterinarians do not recommend economy food for puppies. Due to the lack of trace elements necessary for growth and development, a pet can grow weak and often get sick.
A few tips for feeding puppies ready-to-eat food:
Don’t choose low cost food – the desire to save money can lead to much more spending on pet care.
Good pet food is most likely to be found in veterinary pharmacies. It must be in closed packaging.
Do not forget to regularly pour clean drinking water.
Dry food should never be given together with natural food. When combining such products of different composition, the work of the gastrointestinal tract is greatly disrupted.
Do not frequently change food brands and mix different varieties with each other in the same dish.
Puppies should be given finished products no earlier than 4 months. Before meals, it is soaked in warm water for half an hour before feeding.
Vitamins
Naturally fed puppies should be given vitamins as a nutritional supplement for overall health. Their norm is determined depending on age and breed. But even if the owner took a puppy of a purebred mongrel, he needs useful supplements no less than a thoroughbred representative.
Among the recommended vitamins for growing dogs, vitamins A and D are in the lead, especially in the autumn and winter seasons. They contribute to the normal development of the musculoskeletal system and the prevention of rickets.
Expert opinion

Ask a question
If puppies eat dry food, they do not need extra vitamins. In this case, additional substances will only harm him.
Prohibited foods
New owners are often afraid to make a mistake and feed a fluffy baby with unhealthy food. In addition to not giving cold and hot food to puppies, there is an important list of foods prohibited for them:
bread, loaf, sweet pastries;
sweets, chocolate, honey, jam;
everything that causes flatulence and bloating – cabbage, grapes, peas, beans, plums;
pork;
river fish;
fried, spicy, salted, smoked;
sausages;
ketchup, mayonnaise, various sauces;
bones.
Food from the human table for puppies is unacceptable and dangerous.
Learn more
Many people are wondering if salt should be added to dog and puppy food. Here you need to maintain the right balance and add one pinch 1 time per day to one dish. It would be a big mistake to salt food on a par with human food. At the same time, you should not completely deprive your pet of this beneficial substance – any animal needs salt in a small amount.
General advice
Veterinarians usually emphasize how badly overeating can harm a dog. But lack of food can also cause her health problems. To avoid this, you should definitely follow a few simple tips:
The puppy should always have access to clean water at room temperature. The drinking bowl should be washed regularly.
It is necessary to draw up a feeding schedule and stick to it.
Serving should be calculated by weight.
If the pet ate much less than usual, the next feeding does not need to increase the amount of food.
There is no strict schedule for the diet, but you can not replace one product with another that is unequal in composition and nutritional value – for example, put more cereals in a dish than meat.
In case of rejection of a certain product, do not worry or force the pet to eat – it is better to give him what he likes.
Each meal should be no longer than 15 minutes. If during this time the puppy has not eaten everything, the owner should put the remaining food in the refrigerator.
Place the food plates in such a way that the dog does not have to bend too much towards them. Otherwise, it will lead to improper formation and development of skeletal bones. An adjustable stand with a tripod will help to avoid this.
You can’t have an active pastime immediately after eating – you should wait 1-2 hours and then start walking, playing and training with your four-legged friend.
Proper and balanced nutrition for your growing pet is easy. You just need to remember which foods are recommended for a puppy, and which are strictly prohibited, and also strictly follow the feeding schedule. If a four-legged friend is cheerful and cheerful, his coat is smooth, shiny, and his teeth are healthy, then all this indicates the right choice of food for his pet and the owner’s care for him.

How to properly feed a puppy from one month to a year
Today I want to tell you about how to properly feed a puppy. After all, your fluffy must receive everything necessary for a growing body and grew up strong and healthy.
Of course, you won’t be able to remember all the subtleties of this process right away. But every day you will gain more and more experience, constantly learn something new and useful. In the end, you will become well versed in the natural feeding of the dog.
And I hope that my advice will help you with this.
Basic Rules for Puppy Feeding
Here are the main points that every novice dog breeder should know:
Basic puppy food
Feeding a puppy properly is not that difficult. You just need to know which products can be given to him, and which are strictly prohibited. Read about what is useful to feed the dog, and what should not be given in any case.
Additional supplements and treats
In addition to the main products, the following supplements can be included in the daily diet of the little barbosik:
Chalk.
Shredded quail shell.
Honey (teaspoon per day).
Fish oil (teaspoon per day).
Brewer’s yeast.
Bran.
Laminaria.
Germinated cereal seeds.
From 3 months you can give beef cartilage, chicken necks.
Beef tripe and other by-products can already be included in the baby’s diet from 5 months.
How many times a day should a puppy be fed
This is how a puppy is fed from one month to a year.
How much to feed a puppy
On a natural diet, the daily amount of food consumed by a dog should be approximately 6-8% of the dog’s weight. For example, if your pet weighs 10 kilograms, then 7% would be 700 grams.
Feeding your puppy properly doesn’t mean feeding it to the bone. Overfeeding is much worse than underfeeding.
The number of servings you should determine yourself, based on age and level of physical activity. Appetite can be influenced by many factors. For example, in the summer, in the heat, dogs eat much less than in the cold season. Read about what to do if your pet is not eating well.
Finding out if your puppy is hungry or not is easy. If the baby licks the bowl after feeding, leaving nothing there, then this means that the fluffy has not eaten. In this case, you should increase the portion. Well, if the baby leaves excess porridge in the bowl, then he is completely satisfied.
Feeding a puppy from one month to a year
At a young age (approximately up to three months), dairy products should be the main diet of a four-legged dog. The puppy should receive 40-50% dairy products from the total daily diet, 35-50% meat products and approximately 15-25% cereals and vegetables. In milk, you need to cook porridge. Kefir, milk, fermented baked milk, yogurt, cottage cheese and sour cream – all this should be present in the diet of a fluffy baby. With age, the amount of dairy products should decrease, but meat, on the contrary, increase.
After 3 months, the puppy should be fed according to the following scheme: 25-30% dairy products, 50-70% meat, 20% vegetables and 10-15% cereals. Read which foods should be given to the caudate, and which are absolutely not allowed.
All diagrams below are examples. You can experiment and be imaginative.
It is useful to add mineral supplements to the feed (chalk, crushed eggshells, fish oil, dry seaweed).
Feeding plan from one to two months
From the age of three weeks, puppies can already be offered solid food. New foods should be introduced gradually, starting with one type of protein (such as beef or veal). Products must be fresh and natural. Once a week, a raw quail or boiled chicken egg.
One teaspoon of vegetable oil can be added to one of the daily meals to prevent constipation. I propose the following feeding schedule:
7.00 – natural cottage cheese, with milk or sour cream.
10.00 – boiled (or scalded beef / veal) + a little boiled rice.
22.00 – raw scalded meat. It is useful to give raw meat at night so that the dog sleeps better. Look at recipes for “raw” feeding.
If you give your pet raw meat, then do not forget that before feeding it must be frozen for at least 3 days in the freezer, and scalded with boiling water immediately before feeding.
Feeding plan from two to four months
From 8 weeks you can gradually introduce new foods, one every 3-4 days. It can be muscular meat of lamb, horse meat, rabbit meat, fish, poultry. You can also diversify the assortment of vegetables and fruits: cucumber, carrots, pumpkin, zucchini, apples, lettuce and other greens, berries. Vegetables and fruits also need to be administered every 3 days, and alternate. By introducing vegetables one at a time, you observe the body’s reaction to a new product, and reject the possibility of an allergy to one or another type of new product for a puppy.
Here is the feeding schedule:
7.00 – cottage cheese mixed with milk or sour cream. Or rice porridge boiled in milk + a teaspoon of honey.
10.00 – boiled or scalded meat (or poultry) + a little rice + grated carrots (or other vegetables). At first, it is better to stew vegetables a little in plain water.
18.00 – boiled turkey (fish) + grated stewed vegetables and herbs.
22.00 – raw scalded (or boiled) meat or fish with vegetables. If your diet allows, you can add a little boiled cereal to your food.
Feeding Plan Four to Six Months
During this feeding period, start offering offals to the puppy. Do not forget that the amount of offal should not be more than 10-15% of the total meat diet of the animal.
12.00 – by-products (heart, spleen, liver, kidneys, and so on) + a little boiled rice + vegetables + greens.
17.00 – milk feeding.
22.00 – raw scalded (or boiled) meat or fish with vegetables. If your diet allows, you can add a little boiled cereal to your food.
Feeding plan from six to ten months
Puppy already eats like an adult dog. Raw meat bones can be introduced into the diet.
Remember: bones should only be raw. Boiled, stewed or fried bones are strictly contraindicated for animals. The bones must be intact. Under no circumstances should you offer chopped bones to your dog. For starters, chicken necks, milk (young) lamb ribs are perfect.
You can feed like this:
7.00 – cottage cheese mixed with milk or sour cream. Or rice porridge boiled in milk + a teaspoon of honey.
14.00 – boiled or scalded meat, fish or poultry + some rice (if necessary) + various vegetables grated on a grater to which the dog is not allergic (carrots, zucchini, pumpkin, cucumber ….) + greens.
21.00 – raw scalded (or boiled) meat or fish with vegetables. If your diet allows, you can add a little boiled cereal to your food.
If you offer your pet “soft” bones, at first it is best to feed them during the daytime, and under your supervision.
From the age of 6 months, beef tripe can be included in the baby’s diet, replacing one of the feedings with it. The scar is recommended to give 2-3 times a week. Check out these beef tripe recipes.
Feeding plan from ten to twelve months
At this stage, dairy products in the diet are significantly reduced. You can feed according to this schedule:
7.00 – you can alternate meat and milk feeding (meat feeding for two days, on the third day we replace meat feeding with milk feeding).
20.00 – raw scalded (or boiled) meat or fish with vegetables. If your diet allows, you can add a little boiled cereal to your food.
Do not forget to give your puppy boiled chicken or raw quail eggs 1-3 times a week. Fish oil, seaweed and other natural supplements for dogs, vegetables and fruits.
It is not necessary to calculate the weight to a milligram and adhere to a strict diet. It is not necessary to run to the market if there is no pumpkin, zucchini or cucumber in the refrigerator today. The main thing is that throughout the week the dog receives all the necessary set of vitamins and minerals. You can, at your discretion, alternate meat, fish, poultry, organ meats. But be sure to have vegetables, herbs, and possibly cereals every day. Several times a week cottage cheese, sour cream, eggs.
Between feedings, you can give your puppy treats and treats that you have prepared yourself. Well, now you yourself see that it is not so difficult to feed a puppy properly. You yourself can adjust the order and diet of feeding.

Puppy Diet and Feeding – How to Choose a Puppy Food
Puppies grow quickly and their digestive and immune systems develop slowly, so their nutritional requirements are different from those of adult dogs. To support your puppy’s healthy development and future health, it is vital to feed your puppy a balanced, complete diet that takes into account his special needs.
Why puppy nutrition is so important
Puppies go through a period of intense growth and development. Nutrition plays a key role in supporting these processes and has a major impact on how strong and healthy your puppy becomes as an adult dog.
How Puppies’ Nutrient Requirements Change
As puppies mature, their nutritional needs change, with different breeds maturing at different ages. To meet the nutritional needs of a puppy throughout its growth period, it is necessary to feed it a special puppy food until it reaches adulthood.
One month
At the age of one month, the puppy can be gradually weaned from its mother’s milk and switched to solid food. Puppies need nutrients that promote natural defense mechanisms and the development of beneficial microflora in a sensitive digestive system.
Two to four months
This phase focuses on supporting the development of the puppy’s skeletal structure with carefully selected amounts of calcium, phosphorus and vitamin D.
Four to seven months old
At this age, the puppy begins to gain weight and needs to consume a large amount of easily digestible high quality protein.
10 months to adult
As puppies mature, they still need additional nutritional support for joint health, especially large breed puppies, as their body weight puts more stress on the skeleton.
When does your puppy become an adult dog?

Puppy Nutrients
Puppy nutrition should provide the animal with enough energy and quality protein to support growth. In addition, the food should be easily digestible. ROYAL CANIN® rations are balanced nutrition tailored to the individual needs of puppies based on size group, breed and activity level.

Puppy food
How much food should I give my puppy?
A puppy’s nutritional requirements depend on its breed and adult size. Consult your veterinarian to determine the expected adult weight for your puppy according to its breed. Then you can choose the most suitable food for him and the right amount of daily portion.
Establishing the right diet for your puppy
A puppy’s stomach is small and its immature digestive system can’t cope with the overload caused by overeating. To prevent the puppy from suffering from digestive disorders such as diarrhea, you should divide the daily portion of food into several small portions and give them to the puppy throughout the day.
How the puppy’s diet changes
At first, during weaning, the puppy will need four meals a day, distributed evenly from morning to evening. By the time the puppy reaches adulthood, he will be able to switch to one or two feedings a day.
Smaller breed dogs mature earlier than others, so they can switch to fewer meals per day at an earlier age. Below are recommendations according to the intended size of an adult dog. But it’s always worth talking to your veterinarian about the best feeding schedule for your puppy.
Puppies thrive on a stable diet and do not need a variety of foods like humans. To keep puppies feeling safe and avoiding digestive upsets, give them the same food, preferably at the same time, in the same place and from the same bowl.
What is mixed feeding for puppies?
Mixed feeding involves the use of wet and dry food in one meal or distributed between different puppy feedings. Both foods have important benefits. For example, with wet food, the body receives the necessary moisture. In addition, finicky animals like it. Dry food, in turn, helps to slow down feed intake if the animal eats very quickly.
Benefits of mixed feeding for puppies
When should an animal be mixed fed?
Puppies can be mixed fed at any age, but the sooner they are introduced to different food textures, the less likely they are to be picky as adults. The dog’s digestive tract gets used to a certain composition and type of food. Therefore, when deciding to use a mixed feeding method, it is important to introduce changes gradually.
Mixed dog feeding
Correct Puppy Eating Habits
Feeding a puppy can be stressful, especially if you face problems such as not eating or eating too fast. Here are some helpful tips to help you quickly establish positive associations with the feeding process in your puppy so he gets the nutrients he needs.
Portion Control
To avoid overfeeding your puppy, read the feeding instructions on the food package and carefully measure each serving. Remember that the amounts shown are for the whole day, not for one feeding.
Do not feed human food
Dogs and humans have different nutritional needs. Foods that are good for humans can cause serious digestive problems in dogs. In addition, feeding your puppy leftover food from the table or from your hand can cause undesirable behavior.
Be careful with treats
To avoid overfeeding your puppy, treats should always be included in your total daily diet. Establish how many treats the puppy can get and offer them at the right time and for the right occasion.
Limit your puppy’s activity before and after feeding
To prevent digestive disturbances, try not to let the puppy jump or tumble for a period of 30-40 minutes before or after feeding. And don’t feed your puppy right after a period of high physical activity.
Maintain a quiet environment while feeding
Extraneous sounds can distract the puppy from the food, so ensure a quiet environment at the feeding area. Keep your pet safe while he is eating, but do not interfere with him, as this may cause a defensive reaction in the animal.
Speed of food intake
If the puppy swallows food too quickly, try using a slow feeder bowl or a food puzzle. Even if the puppy eats slowly, remove the bowl of food after 15-20 minutes so that he does not get used to constantly coming to the food.
How to switch your puppy to a different food
Sudden changes in your puppy’s diet can lead to digestive upset and even food rejection. Whether you are transitioning your pet to adult food, changing foods, or starting mixed feeding, it is always important to introduce a new food gradually. Such a transition is recommended to be carried out within a week, using the following proportions:
days 1 and 2: 75% old food + 25% new food
days 3 and 4: 50% old food + 50% new food
days 5 and 6: 25% old food + 75% new food
Day 7: 100% new food

How and what to feed a puppy so that he grows up healthy?
Balanced, proper nutrition means a lot for dogs. If the owner knows how to feed the puppy and follows the recommendations of veterinarians, it is likely that the development will go right, the pet will be cheerful and live long. For feeding, ready-made feeds and natural products are used, mixed nutrition is also practiced. There are plenty of disputes around this issue, it is difficult to accept one of the parties, natural and so-called artificial nutrition have advantages, the owner will have to decide.
Feed – how to give, how convenient and useful
The main advantages of feed are ease of use and enormous time savings. The problem of how to feed a small puppy is removed completely. The only thing you have to do is divide the food into portions and give it on time. Feeds are produced in different types, designed for puppies of different ages and sizes, they contain vitamins and minerals in a balanced amount.
Feed must be soaked before serving. It takes about an hour to soak 100 grams of feed, for this amount 300-350 ml of water is taken. So that the food does not turn sour, it is recommended to soak it before each feeding.
Natural products – what to give, in what quantity
Natural feeding provides for feeding with meat, cereals, vegetables, boiled eggs, cottage cheese – so that the puppy receives everything that is needed for development.
Half of the daily diet is meat, another 40% is cereals and 10% is vegetables. Additionally, eggs and dairy products (cottage cheese, yogurt, kefir, whey) are introduced, meat can and should be periodically changed to fish.
Meat. To feed a puppy, he is given lean meat: rabbit, veal, beef and turkey. It is desirable to freeze it for 2 days before serving – to kill harmful microorganisms. The meat is given thawed, raw. The third part of a one-time norm can be mixed with cereals 5 minutes before it is ready. Porridge that smells like meat will please the puppy more, and gradually he will get used to it.
Fish. Fish is given boiled , without bones, usually a couple of times a week – you need to see if the dog likes it or not.
Groats. Porridges are boiled in vegetable or bone broth, milk, water. Puppies can be given oatmeal, rice, buckwheat. The cereal is cooked for 15–20 minutes, the liquid should cover it by 1. 5–2 cm. The possibility of adding meat is written above.
Vegetables and herbs. If you ask a veterinarian what to feed a puppy, he will say that he needs to be given zucchini, broccoli, if the season allows, parsley, sorrel, dill. Pumpkin and carrots are also useful, but orange vegetables are potential allergens, so they are given little by little, with great care. Boiled or stewed vegetables are fed, greens – raw, but well washed. Only an apple can be given raw, but peeled, no more than a quarter a day.
A puppy may not want to eat vegetables in their pure form, so if he resists, they can be mixed into porridge, like meat, after cutting or mashing into a puree.
Dairy products. They must be free of preservatives and dyes, that is, for feeding puppies, it is better not to buy them, but to make them yourself.
Eggs. Approximately 2 times a week, quail or chicken eggs are given, they must be boiled before serving.
Mixed feeding
With such a diet, cereals should be discarded, only meat is combined with the feed, if desired, with stewed vegetables.
Food is given in the morning, and in the evening, after a walk, meat is given only 5 hours after food, not more than 3 times a week .
At night, regardless of the diet, it is always advisable to give only meat, without vegetables and cereals – this will ensure healthy sleep and allow the dog to run to the toilet less.
People often ask what to feed a 1-month-old and 2-month-old puppy. The products listed above are given regardless of age, the main thing is to observe the norm and frequency of feeding.
How to correctly calculate the amount of food and meals
It is easier with ready-made feeds – the dosage is already calculated, it is indicated on the package. To calculate a one-time portion of natural food, you need to take 5-10% of the dog’s weight, that is, to feed a puppy up to 2 months old, which weighs about 4 kilograms, a 200-gram serving is prepared. More accurately, the volume is calculated according to the needs of the dog: if she does not eat enough, it is better to reduce the portion, if it is noticeable that she remains hungry, it is worth adding food.
Growing dogs should eat often, literally by the hour:
1-2 month old puppies should be fed 6 times a day, at three-hour intervals, from 7 am to 10 pm;
2-4-month-old puppy is given food 5 times a day, from 7 am to 10 pm, but with larger, equal intervals;
4-6 month old puppy – 4 times a day, again at longer intervals;
6-10 months – 3 times;
10-12-month-olds – only 2 times, at 7.00 and at 21.00.
In addition to knowing how and what to feed puppies, you need to remember that by giving them food, they can be disciplined at the same time. The bowl with food is placed for 15–20 minutes, then it is taken away, even if the dog did not have time to eat all . This relieves the owner of the need to remove sour and dried food, and teaches the dog to eat what they give.

Alum: Glastonbury High School was a good example of a high school. The classes were of good quality and the teachers knew what they were teaching while also including students’ input. There were also a wide variety of clubs and elective class subjects. The school events that the staff put on were also a lot of fun and the sports teams did fantastic. Not to mention how up to date the technology and library resources were that were provided to students. It was also a very welcoming environment with little instances of bullying. There was also ample parking space for students and staff. The agriscience program was also of good quality and a good way for kids to be involved and learn new skills. The food could’ve been a bit better, but there was variety so it wasn’t too bad. Ipad usage for students was also too excessive on the school’s part, due to the debates on whether they actually helped the kids learn or not.

Senior: East Lyme was an amazing experience! The school pride, academics and teachers were all amazing. At East Lyme you feel like one big family. As a student you are able to get assistance from teachers when every you need it and they make sure there is time throughout the school day to do so. The library staff is helpful and caring. There are very few thing that I would like to change but one is communication. As a student as a underclassmen I often felt that I did know information about dues or psats.

Senior: Overall, the teachers are pretty good, and I have had some wonderful teachers who really cared about their students and were passionate about what they were teaching. The students are also generally pretty accepting and friendly, and I’ve met some who really inspired me. Though not perfect, the school system is among the more well-equipped with resources in the state, and there are several extracurriculars open to students across various interests.
One thing that has been an issue is diversity within the curriculum. Administration for the high school was slow to address the lack of celebration of Black History Month until students brought up the issue, and there have been some questionable parts of some curriculums as well as gaps in addressing certain less palatable but necessary parts of history….

Senior: The teachers and staff at Newtown are a very welcoming group who make you feel at home. They always do their best to reach out to the students and see how they can help each individual student. Most teachers, as much as they try to help students, however, fail to truly understand most students and what they are struggling with. The only thing I can say for what they should improve on is simply communicating with their students more and genuinely trying to understand them. There is also a noticeable lack of diversity in Newtown as a whole, which naturally extends to the schools. While everyone does their best to be inclusive, there is a simple lack of non-white persons in the district… Read 47 reviews

Alum: I’m an Alum of the South Windsor School District. During my tenure I attended Wapping Elementary School(closed, K-5), Timothy Edwards Middle School(6-8) and South Windsor High School(9-12). All three schools were challenging academically and pushed me in order to be equipped for college. In fact, I wish I took more advantage of the college preparatory classes than I did. South Windsor has a fantastic music program, that is dedicated to its students and allows them to grow starting in the 4th grade until they graduate High School. The technology in the schools were also very good. Timothy Edwards(middle school) was renovated in the early 2000s and still has state of the art technology. The town recently approved renovations to all 4 elementary schools in town. All are or will be state of the art facilities once complete. My only critique of South Windsor School District is the diversity. My sister and I who both attended SW had 1 combined black/African American teacher… Read 25 reviews

This school district is absolutely wonderful. The teachers are so helpful and kind with the students and teach a lot. It’s a great community with everyone willing to help one another achieve their goals. Once, my friend forgot to bring their coat to class during the winter and they had a fire drill, so the teacher gave her her coat to wear.

The academic opportunities, artistic experiences, and intellectual environment that Westport has offered me have allowed me to discover what I’m interested in and develop the passions that shape me today. For instance, I began playing the viola in 4th grade through the school system, and now, I play in New York Youth Symphony every week.
Excellent funding. Very tumultous era of leadership. Excellent level of parent and community involvement. Disappointed that no after school activity buses are offered for students, which limits students who can participate to those who have non-working parents or nannies.

Darien High School is an incredible school for college preparation, but the atmosphere can be stifling. The school is a pipeline for Ivy League kids and future hedge fund managers, and it offers incredible AP classes and even beyond. For parents, make sure to realize that your kids are under intense pressure both socially and academically, and for students, whether the school tells you or not: IT’S OK TO FAIL!

I am a Senior at Darien High School. Throughout the past four years, I have been given many opportunities to explore different interests through clubs and academic classes. I feel as if the teachers at DHS do an excellent job at preparing their students for college level work. At times, the amount of homework given can create a significant amount of stress, but the school provides many resources to help relive some of the pressure. Sports play an important part in the lives of many of the students attending DHS. Although the school lacks diversity, DHS is a great school to attend.
Awesome teachers, very challenging. Will prepare all students very well for college. Had an awesome experience, highly recommend!

New Canaan High school not only pushes and challenges each student who attends their school but also creates a safe place where gifted minds can comfortably voice their questions and concerns. NCHS does an amazing job instilling a competitive edge within each person who walks the halls of the school. In my personal opinion, I think it would be beneficial to talk to the students and discuss what they feel works for this school and what doesn’t.
I have been a member of the New Canaan School district since I was about 4 and a half years old . I grew up in this community and I have truly enjoyed my time here as a child. In elementary school, I thouroughly enjoyed my time there, and I think of the good times I had there often. In middle school, I also loved participating in the theatre program and art classes. Now nearing the end of my time at New Canaan High School, I have learned a great deal of knowledge, while also have encountered amazing teachers and staff personnel. The New Canaan School System has treated me well and I wouldn´t trade my time there for the world.

education by Sergey Olshevsky and with schools that were on the bottom lines of the rating
A table with the results of graduates of schools, gymnasiums and lyceums appeared on the InternetPhoto: Pavel MARTYNCHYK
A table divided into subjects, the number of people who took the DT and their results in 2019 appeared on the website of the educational project eschool.by. Sergey Olshevsky, the author of the “People’s Textbook” project, published the data from his sources. According to it, it is clear in which schools the best and worst passed the test.
We took the results of schools in mathematics, Russian and English and compiled the top 3 most successful in the CT and vice versa. The rating took into account schools where 10 or more people took the DT
So, mathematics was best passed by graduates of the lyceum of BSU, worse – school No. 1 of the city of Kamenets. The best results in the Russian language – in the gymnasium No. 1 in Lida, the worst – in the branch of the Pleschenitskaya regional school-school of the Olympic reserve. TsT in English turned out to be successful for graduates of gymnasium No. Skaryna in Minsk, but not the most rosy results – at school No. 20 in Minsk. (See ONLY NUMBERS).
– Information for analysis and decision making here. And a toolkit for the parent to ask questions. For example, your child has to take geography next year, and you see that this year the school did not show the best results in this subject. You may wonder why this happened, – says Sergey Olshevsky. – When a parent decides where to send the child, he can rely on something, compare the child’s grades with the results that the school shows. To avoid surprises, why does he get 8-9 at schoolpoints, and on the CT 6-7. The regional departments of education have this information, but for some reason it is closed to parents.
– What conclusions did you draw from the data?
– The statement that we have the same level of education everywhere, according to the results of the DT, does not correspond to reality. On average, gymnasium and lyceum students pass the CT by 20 points better than schoolchildren. To ensure that every school has a quality education, regardless of geolocation, funds are needed, which have not yet been allocated. If you look at the geographical area, less points are received in rural schools, most of all – in Minsk. The dynamics of the last three years shows that the average score has increased. But the highest one fell by 5-10 points. I believe this is due to the new scoring system that the RIKZ introduced this year.
We asked the bottom ranked schools to explain why this happened. For example, the school of the Olympic reserve in the town of Pleschenitsy has the lowest results in Russian.
– In addition to the curriculum, students of our school are also busy with training. Often busy at training camps in Belarus and abroad. Sometimes the training camp lasts a quarter, and there is little time left to go to the tutors, to work out additionally. We try to fill in the gaps with distance learning and electives. But this is not enough, – explains Elena Drankevich, deputy director for educational work of the school-school. – Naturally, this is a problem. We will work on this, add electives, additional classes to the program, motivate students. As a result of self-control, the average score of the institution rises, our students willingly participate in republican paid competitions in various subjects. And they take first place in the region.
And in secondary school No. 1 in Kamenets – the lowest average score in mathematics.
– The number of school graduates of this year who took the CT in mathematics is lower than indicated in the ranking. In fact, there are not 13, but 9. The graduates of past years passed, they indicated our school in the education column, although they graduated from it several years ago. For example, two graduates who are serving in the army, who, apparently, were asked to pass the Central Test for the sake of the rating of the unit, and pulled us down in the average score, – says the director of the school, Alexander Sokhranny. – The results could be due to the fact that mathematics was chosen as a spare subject. In mathematics, in previous years we had an average CT score of 46-48. I don’t see any problems in education at school. We have 38% of admissions to higher educational institutions this year, of which two people – the budget of the Belarusian State University They passed biology and chemistry well, the highest score was 9one!
The Ministry of Education declined to comment, citing the fact that “this is an incorrect rating, and we still need to find out if this information is reliable. ”

AMERICA’S MOST ACCREDITED
We’re so proud!
Nationally only 10% of daycares are accredited – nearly 100% of our learning centers are. That’s a big difference,
and that means KinderCare kids are getting the very best. Here’s why.
SCHOOL-READY
What Learning Looks Like
Our talented early-childhood teachers set kids down the path toward becoming lifelong learners in a positive, safe, and nurturing environment.
Riverdale KinderCare Programs
Infant Programs (6 weeks–1 year)
Leaving your baby in someone else’s care is a big step. Everyone at our
centers—most importantly, our naturally gifted infant teachers—will work with
you to make sure the transition goes smoothly. When you step into our infant
classroom, you’ll see how much we want your infant to feel safe, loved, and
ready to explore their world.
Toddler Programs (1–2 Years)
Everything in our toddler classroom is designed for little explorers. That’s
because a lot is going on at this age. When your child is wandering all over the
place, that means they’re learning and discovering new things every day. We’ll
help them explore their interests (and find new ones!) as they play and learn.
Discovery Preschool Programs (2–3 Years)
This age is filled with so much wonder and curiosity. That’s why we offer a ton
of books and toys and bring artwork down to kids eye level. Children in
discovery preschool also begin to learn how we all work together in a
classroom. Simple math and science, pretend play, and group play help them
get used to a more structured school setting.
Preschool Programs (3–4 Years)
This age is all about expression, when kids really start to form their own ideas
about what they want to play and how they want to create. Every day in our
preschool classroom, your child will explore science experiments, create
artwork, and play pretend—all the skills needed for their big next step:
kindergarten!
Prekindergarten Programs (4–5 Years)
When you walk into one of our pre-K classrooms, you’ll see artwork and
writing displayed around the room. Labels are everywhere to help kids connect
letters with words. You’ll also see pictures on the walls that reflect the families
in our community. Your child will also deepen their knowledge in language,
math, science, Spanish, and social skills.
Before- and After-School Programs (5–12 Years)
You can count on us to provide reliable care for your school-ager while you’re
at work, with safe transportation from our center to your child’s school and
back! Whether your child wants to start a drama club, build a volcano, or
create a comic book, they will have a place to follow their dreams. Your child
will start and end the day with a whole lot of fun!
School Break Programs (preschool, prekindergarten, and school-age)
Winter break, spring break, summer break—when school’s out (but you still need to work), you

Learning how to read is a whole lot of fun at KinderCare! We help kids grow to love

From discovering the basics of vowels to practicing poetry, kids learn all about letters
and sounds in small-group lessons made just for their age group. (Bonus: Kids who
attend our phonics program are more prepared than their peers for school—and we
have the data to prove it. )

Ms. G. – KinderCare Parent
My daughter started her educational career with Kinde Care Learning Center. I am proud to say that now she is an honor roll student and has a true thirst for knowledge.
Mr. D. – KinderCare Parent
Not everyone can make a parent feel comfortable about leaving their only child alone with strangers for extended periods of time, but the Director and Staff at the Riverdale KinderCare made me feel like I was a part of their family and eased all of my troubles. I have never visited a facility where everyone was so caring for one another. Not only did I see a genuine love for the students under their care, they also welcomed new and old parents with open loving arms. The center exceeded my expectations in how attentive they would be to my child and her needs. Not once, when I randomly stopped by to just peek in, that they didn’t make me more than pleased with sending my child to such an outstanding facility. Though we had to leave them I am forever grateful for such a wonderful experience with a child care facility. Lots of love and best wishes.

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about this school. My son attends the 3k program and loves coming here. They are very detailed oriented and plan wonderful and enriching activities for the children, anything from learning about holidays to seasons, careers, feelings, clothes, etc. I particularly like that they often do work/play in pairs. My son often comes home with new words and phrases and he has improved his communication and behavior at home since the start of the year. They offer great meals, healthy but at the same time, toddler-appropriate and have the option to bring your own meals and snacks. My son has never caught any illness from here (which I understand is normal!) which is a testament to the staff and families doing a great job. The environment is very inviting (feels like a second home) and the children always look content and at ease. I am very happy to send my child here and I recommend it to other families!

We LOVE Rodi Daycare. Our Daughter has been a student for last year’s 2019-20 and now the 2020-21 School Years. Rodica, the owner, is responsive, professional and caring. The Teachers are amazing (currently, Ms. Stephany), innovative, creative, and engaging. Our daughter can’t wait to go to school every morning. Rodi Daycare has great apps and a new in classroom camera (with secure login!) for a short viewing window so that you can see the kids having a great time each day. We know our daughter is happy, safe, and engaged the entire time she’s in their care. Highly recommend.

Rodi Daycare was as a second home for our 2 children who are now in middle school. They loved going there each day. The teachers are great and the owner is very involved. Rodi understands what it means to be a working parent. She opened her business after she herself had trouble finding the right daycare for her own children. It’s the most affordable daycare in the neighborhood. She works with parents and families to determine what’s right for them. We always felt at ease dropping our children off as they felt very safe and comfortable. We would also get daily updates from teachers. We’ve recommended the daycare to many of our relatives and friends and would do so over and over again. Go for a tour, meet the owner and see for yourself.

Since 1954, the Riverdale Presbyterian Church Nursery School has been providing a nurturing, developmentally appropriate, hands-on educational experience for the children of Riverdale and its surrounding communities. Started in the basement of the historic Greyston mansion in North Riverdale (now a conference space for Teachers College / Columbia University), RPCNS has carried its legacy of engaging not just young children, but their families, and the community, to establish relationships which are responsive, rewarding and collaborative.
RPCNS is housed inside the Riverdale Presbyterian Church, an official New York City landmark and on the National Register of Historic Places. RPC is of the Late Gothic Revival style, and its charming interior offers a cozy and warm environment, perfect for young children.

Learning at RPCNS
Children learn with their whole bodies – their minds, eyes, noses, mouths, ears and skin. Children also learn from their prior experiences, families, cultures and communities. We at RPCNS make sure that all of these different parts are working together to ensure the best possible learning experience for each child.
Activities are always developmentally appropriate, hands-on and multisensory, and encourage children to be critical thinkers.
Children at RPCNS also develop a sense of empathy which encourages meaningful and productive social interactions with their peers, and with the world.
RPCNS prides itself on the partnerships we establish with our families, which always include open, mutually rewarding communication and a shared vision of what each child’s learning experience should be. These partnerships are extremely important to us and are the cornerstone of our program’s mission to serve not just children, but their families as well.
3K & PreK For All
3s & PreKindergarten at RPCNS is a rich program for children who are 3 and 4 years old. In collaboration with the NYC Department of Education, we are proud to enroll children as part of 3K & PreK For All. The city-funded program offers free preschool to children who are residents of New York City, from any of the boroughs. For those families from nearby Yonkers and Westchester, we offer private pay schedules as well.
3K & PreKindergarten hours are 8:40 am – 3:00 pm.
3K & PreK offers 3 & 4 year olds the opportunity to engage in an emergent curriculum where interests guide their studies. In addition to extensive time on our wonderful playground and property, rich classroom centers are curated in dramatic play, blocks, writing, art, reading, maker space, science, and movement and while they are facilitated by teachers, the children take ownership in the classroom as well. These special years in nursery school is meant to foster independence, autonomy, collaboration, and problem-solving; key skills to a successful educational journey. This developmentally appropriate curriculum reflects the 3K Explorations and PreK Foundation for the Common Core and is filled with inquiry, and engagement.
Family Involvement
Family involvement is a very important part of RPCNS. From the moment children enroll with us, their families become part of the RPCNS family. There are several ways for parents and caregivers to be involved:
Parent Organization: Every family joins the Parent Organization, pays a small amount of dues at the start of the year, and is encouraged to participate in nursery school life. This can be through digital communication, attending an event, participating in the classroom, volunteering, attending a Chat with Tara, and so much more!
Joining a committee is a wonderful opportunity to have a voice in the way the nursery school operates and grows. Volunteering to be a Class Parent and joining new committees each year are just some of the fun ways to get involved and get to know your fellow parents. Your support for the ongoing high quality education at RPCNS is essential!
Events: RPCNS holds many events during the year which are fun and bring us together! Some events involve the whole family while other events are just for parents. Each year these events change to meet the interests and celebrations of the children.
Communication: RPCNS aims to establish a mutually rewarding and ongoing dialogue with each family to ensure a productive learning experience for each child. We invite you to reach out anytime.

The voice-over of Forsyth Padelton (Jughead) Jones III, who is sitting in a diner and typing text on a laptop. This is a story about a small town and the people living in it. From the outside it may seem that it is the same as other cities around the world – safe, decent, innocent. But it is worth taking a closer look, as you will see the darkness enveloping him. Our city is called Riverdale. This story begins with what the Blossom twins did this summer. On July 4, as soon as dawn broke, Jason and Cheryl Blossom went to the Sweet Water River to go boating. Then (this is the only thing we know for sure) Dilton Doyley, the Boy Scout leader, spotted Cheryl on the river bank. The police searched the entire river for Jason’s body, but never found him. A week later, the Blossom family buried an empty coffin, and Jason’s death was ruled an accident. According to Cheryl, it was due to her glove falling into the water, which Jason reached for, but accidentally capsized the boat, panicked and drowned. On the last day of vacation, when we were still discussing the tragedy of July 4, another mystery appeared in the city . ..
A car pulls up to a house in a prestigious area, Hermione Lodge and her daughter Veronica get out. Mother says: get ready, housing is small, temporary, but of high quality, and it is registered on me, and not on your father. Hermione is warmly greeted by the butler Smithers, helping the ladies unload their luggage, wondering if the hostess will order dinner. Hermione says that she dreamed about burgers from Pop’s diner for half a day.
Elisabetta (Betty) Cooper preens before meeting Archie Andrews, whom they haven’t seen all summer. Betty complains to her gay friend Kevin Keller that Archie isn’t making the first move. Kevin argues that Archie, like most millennials, just doesn’t know what he wants. Kevin sees Archie in the window of the neighbor’s house, he admires his muscular torso: how prettier he is! You have six more reasons to trade it today.
Betty and Archie are at Pop’s diner. Betty talks about her summer internship. Archie says he worked at a construction site for his father’s firm and started writing songs out of boredom. Archie claims that he finally understood what he wants to do in life – music. But he has no intention of giving up football either. Betty tries to say that their friendship with Archie has become something more for her. But he is distracted by the girl who entered the diner. This is Veronica, she came to pick up the order made by her mother. Veronica approaches Betty and Archie, introduces herself to them, informs them that she and her mother have just moved from New York. It turns out that Veronica will be studying with Betty and Archie in the same class, and it will be Betty who will have to give the new girl a tour of the school.
In the morning, Betty’s mother Alice Cooper reminds her daughter that this year will be crucial for her to go to college, to pay attention to her studies, extracurricular activities and maintain a good reputation. Alice says that Betty’s sister Polly also showed great promise in her time, but Jason Blossom ruined everything. Therefore, Betty should not be distracted by relationships with Archie, because the guys are all the same.
In the school locker room, Reggie Mantle tells Archie that he is in great shape and ready to play for the football team. Marmaduke (Moose) Mason agrees with this.
Betty gives Veronica a tour of the school. She asks: how do you have fun here? Kevin jumps up to the girls: the Gateway Zone strip club, the Namek gay bar, Friday nights, football games and closed parties in parking lots. We always watch movies on Saturday evenings. Come early, there are no reservations in Riverdale. Betty introduces Kevin and Veronica. She immediately understands that Kevin is gay: thank God, we will be friends. Kevin asks Veronica: Are they telling the truth about your father? She clarifies: that he is a fiend? I am on my father’s side.
Archie comes to the rehearsal of Josie and the Cats. He turns to its leader Josie McCoy, wants to show her the songs he wrote. She arrogantly declares: “Kitties” become a brand, we only sing songs that we write ourselves. Josie sends Archie away.
Veronica notices Archie in the hallway, says to Betty: there is that red-haired handsome man you were with yesterday. Is this your boyfriend? No, we’re just friends. In that case, can I borrow it? Kevin says: Actually, Betty and Archie are made for each other. Veronica: Then invite him to the dance. Kevin: I heard they might be canceled because of what happened to Jason.
During the general school meeting, Cheryl Blossom takes the floor after a minute of silence. I loved my brother and you all meant so much to him. I’m sure Jason wouldn’t want us to mourn all year. We need to move on. So I asked the student council not to cancel the dance. This is how we heal our wounds together.
Flashback. During the holidays, Archie develops a secret love affair with young music teacher Geraldine Grundy.
Archie exchanges glances with Miss Grundy. After the meeting, he approaches her and wants to consult about the music. Ms. Grundy says that Archie can make an appointment with her during official business hours.
Hermione Lodge visits the construction firm of Archie’s father, Fred Andrews, wondering how Mary is? She’s in Chicago, we parted amicably. Hermione asks an old acquaintance to take her to a temporary job as an accountant, Fred refuses her: I can’t hire the wife of a convict of fraud as an accountant.
At lunchtime, Archie plays his song to Betty, Kevin and Veronica. Everyone is delighted. Archie says that he has an appointment with Ms. Grundy, after which he needs to go to football practice. He’s leaving. Cheryl joins the company. She declares that she is the captain of the Chanterelle cheerleading team, invites Veronica to come to the casting. Veronica invites Betty to come with her. As Cheryl leaves, Betty explains that I tried to get in last year, but Cheryl said I was too fat. Veronica claims that now Betty has just a gorgeous figure.
Archie lets Miss Grundy listen to his songs, says that he did everything as she advised, asks to continue to help him make music. The teacher says we shouldn’t be alone. In addition to his work, Archie wants to talk to Geraldine about something else. At six o’clock in the morning on July 4, the two of them were on the bank of the river and heard a shot, but they did not tell anyone about it. Miss Grundy claims they were fireworks. Archie disagrees: who sets off fireworks at six in the morning? Geraldine: how do we explain why we were alone by the river at this hour? And you’re right: we didn’t say anything, we’ll have to live with it now. Keep making music, but without me.
Veronica and Betty are casting for Chanterelles. Cheryl reveals to Veronica that her late brother and sister Betty Polly dated for a while. And then Polly had a nervous breakdown, she landed in a psychiatric hospital. Cheryl provokes Betty: what do you think of Jason and his act? Come on, tear me apart. Betty manages to deal with a fit of rage. She expresses her condolences on Jason’s death. Cheryl declares that she is ready to take Veronica to the team, and she again refuses Betty. Veronica protests: Is it because Betty isn’t a bitch? She and I are in the same set, you need one – take both.
Coach Clayton gives Archie a T-shirt with the number “9”, under which Jason Blossom used to play in the national team, the coach is ready to take Archie to his position. He refers to employment in his father’s company, which will make it difficult for him to attend regular training.
Betty asks Veronica why she stood up for her with Cheryl. Veronica says: when my father was arrested, people began to write terrible things about us. That my father is a thief, my mother is a stupid socialite, and I am a spoiled, emotionless princess. And the worst thing is that it’s all true. I was like Cheryl, even worse. The move is my chance to become a kinder and possibly better version of myself. Betty talks about Jason and Polly: when they started dating, she was in love, but he was not. Their relationship became unhealthy, the mother took up arms against Polly, said that she was no longer her daughter, said nasty things. Jason offended Polly, her mother trampled on her.
Betty and Veronica walk past the football field. Veronica calls Archie, pushes Betty in the side to invite the guy to the dance. Betty suggests that the three of us go there. Archie agrees.
Alice is not happy that Betty signed up to be a cheerleader. She forbids her daughter from being on Cheryl Blossom’s team. Betty argues with her mother: I’m tired of being the perfect daughter, the perfect sister, the student. I want to do something for myself! And I’m going to the dance with Archie and Veronica. With Hermione Lodge’s daughter? Is she your new friend? Look, Betty, girls like Cheryl and Veronica aren’t like us… Enough, Mom, I’m leaving!
Smithers brings a bag into Hermione’s room. She asks: what is it? Your missing bag has been brought to you. After the butler leaves, Hermione opens her bag, it is filled with wads of money. Hermione exclaims: Hyrom, what have you done?
Fred says to Archie: I got a call from the coach, he thinks you can’t play in the national team because of working for me. Which is weird since you turned it down citing training. So which one of us are you lying to? Archie confesses: to both. I want to write music. Father objects: football is a ticket to college, college is a chance to get into business school, because someday my company will be yours. Don’t be offended, dad, but I don’t want to. Fred does not intend to force his son to do anything, but asks him to think carefully about his choice.
Archie, Veronica and Betty attend Jason’s memorial dance. Veronika was tired of talking about the choice between football and music: why not do both at the same time? Veronica goes for punch. Archie also steps aside for a couple of minutes to talk to Ms. Grundy. Kevin runs up to Betty: guess who flirted with me in the bathroom? A handsome football player named Elk!
Archie proposes to Miss Grundy: you will give me lessons as much as you can, and I won’t talk about the 4th of July. She agrees to study with Archie in the morning before class.
Cheryl, as the hostess of the evening, announces the highlight of the program: the Josie and the Cats group. Usually they perform with their own material, but today they will perform a cover version of the song that Jason and I were conceived to.
Archie returns to Betty, invites her to dance. He informs her that he will agree on everything: classes with Grandi will be before school, football after, and his father will have to work on weekends.
Cheryl tells her girlfriends to invite Archie, Betty and Veronica to an after party: I crave chaos.
Cheryl starts a game at the after party. She appoints Jason as the first person to go to the “love closet”. Then the party members spin the bottle, she points to Veronica, who should keep Archie company. Veronica refuses. Cheryl declares: then I will take your place.
Archie and Veronica are locked in a dressing room for seven minutes. They kill time by asking each other personal questions. Archie confesses that Betty is his best friend, but he has never been attracted to her. Have you had similar feelings for anyone else? Yes, this summer. And you have? One day. Archie and Veronica kiss.
Coming out of the closet, Veronica asks: where is Betty? She ran away. Archie says Betty needs to be found. Veronica is sure that looking for her together is a bad idea.
Veronica is coming home. Archie goes to Pop’s diner, but finds only Jughead there, who continues to write his Riverdale novel. Jag advises Archie to talk to Betty.
Archie visits Betty. She asks: Do you like me at least a little? Yes, but only as a friend. Why? You are perfect, I don’t deserve you. A tearful Betty returns to the house.
Kevin and Moose arrive at the river bank at night. Moose says: I’m not gay. No, you are a football player. But if you’re gay, what would you like? Everything but kisses. Kevin offers Moose to go skinny dipping, and then – how will he go. Suddenly, Kevin notices that a dead body has washed up on the shore. This is Jason. He is shot in the head.
Jughead’s voiceover. By morning everyone will be writing and talking about what happened. Everyone will feel that everything has changed forever. Riverdale is not what it used to be. Now it is full of shadows and secrets. Jason’s autopsy will be performed on Monday. On Tuesday, the police will make the first arrest.
During the night, Archie texts Betty, asking her to talk to him. She refuses. Archie goes home to Geraldine. He says there were no fireworks on July 4th, maybe they killed Jason. We know the time when the shot rang out, this should be reported to the police. Ms. Grundy: If they find out we were there, I’ll be fired and you’ll be expelled from school. Then – prison.
Despite her mother’s prohibition, Betty continues to communicate with Archie, claims that they can remain friends.
Veronica tries to make peace with Betty, leaves her a gorgeous bouquet of roses at the janitor’s. Veronica also offers Betty New York Bakery cupcakes, a paid certificate for a shared manicure and pedicure at the spa. Veronica asks for forgiveness: I will never do this to you again. Betty agrees to forget the insult. She explains to Kevin: I don’t want Veronica to ruin someone else’s life.
Principal Wezzerby makes an announcement on the school radio, giving the floor to Sheriff Tom Keller (Kevin’s father). He says that on Saturday evening the body of Jason Bossom was discovered, now his death is qualified as a murder. He asks anyone who has information that will help in the investigation to immediately report it to him or Director Wezzerby.
Jughead asks Archie why he canceled their July 4th trip at the last minute. Archie does not answer this question.
Alice receives additional information about the state of Jason’s body from a pathologist in exchange for a bribe. She is the editor of a local newspaper and plans to publish a scandalous material.
After class, Kevin tells Veronica and Betty that Moose doesn’t exude gay vibes, he’s more interested in young ladies. The company approaches Archie. Veronica asks him to share the new fruits of his creativity. Archie hums a song that brings Betty to tears. She says she’s not yet ready to accept Archie’s offer to remain friends.
Archie is called by Principal Wezzerby, who suspects that, based on his reaction to the sheriff’s announcement, Archie has something to confess about Jason’s death.
Archie tries to discuss the situation with Ms Grundy. Then he asks her: are your feelings for me real? Geraldine replies yes, real ones, although wrong. Therefore, Whizzerby must not say anything, otherwise we will not be able to see each other again. A couple talking in private is noticed by Jughead.
Chanterelles are getting ready to play at the upcoming football match. During the warm-up, Betty chides Veronica that she and Archie were doing great before she showed up. She says: no one is to blame that we are not liked by those who like us. They start an argument, which is interrupted by Cheryl. Betty invites Cheryl to use the certificate Veronica gave her.
Hermione got a job as a waitress at Pop’s diner, Veronica stops by after school. Archie arrives to pick up the order. Hermione asks the guy to walk her daughter home. On the way, Veronica talks about her fight with Betty. Archie also worries that she is offended by him.
After the spa, Cheryl comes to visit Betty. Cheryl talks nasty things about Veronica, asks Betty about her sister. She claims that she does not know anything about the relationship between Polly and Jason. Cheryl begins to be rude, blaming Polly for her brother’s death. Betty chases her away.
Jughead is waiting outside Archie’s house. He guessed about the connection between Archie and Miss Grundy. He does not deny this. Archie also talks about the gunshot they heard on July 4th by the river, but tells Jughead to keep quiet about it. Jughead says that he can no longer consider Archie as his friend.
The next day, Betty admits that Veronica was right about both Cheryl and Archie. Voronika claims that sometimes having a friend is better than having a lover.
Archie gets into a fight with football player Reiji, who suggested that Jason could have been killed by a loser like Jughead.
Before the football game begins, Archie informs Jughead that he will report the shooting to the sheriff and principal. After the performance of the cheerleaders, accompanied by the “Kids”, the players enter the field. Cheryl sees Archie in her brother’s form and has a nervous breakdown.
Sobbing in the locker room, Veronica comforts Cheryl. This is seen by Betty, who has come running after her.
After the match, Betty invites Veronica for a milkshake at Pop’s diner. There, Veronica offers to take an oath that no guy will ever come between them. Betty agrees. Archie and Jughead arrive and join the girls in an animated conversation.
The next morning, high school biology class is interrupted by the arrival of Sheriff Keller and Principal Wezzerby. Cheryl rises from her seat: you are after my soul, aren’t you? Everyone will soon find out that I’m guilty anyway.
Jughead’s voiceover. Three shocking words. But they don’t compare to the results of Jason’s autopsy. He did not die on July 4, as everyone believed, but only a week later.

At the end of July, the release of the 6th season of the popular TV series Riverdale ended on all TV screens of the world, which left viewers with mixed feelings. About why the new part of Archie’s story was received badly, how the little witch Sabrina turned out to be in it and when to wait for the next season – in our new article.

The plot of the TV series Riverdale
Riverdale is a mystical thriller about the life and dark secrets of the small town of the same name. The premiere of the series took place in 2017, since then it has already been released for 6 seasons, a total of 117 episodes. The show was based on the Archie Comics series of the same name. This publisher has its own universe, but not a superhero one, but rather a mystical one. Most often, the heroes of Archie comics are teenagers who either have magical abilities or investigate mysterious phenomena associated with magic. By the way, one of the heroines of the Archie universe is the same Sabrina Spellman, who was the main character of the early 2000s sitcom Sabrina the Teenage Witch. In spirit, the series and comics are similar to Stranger Things, only without the science fiction bias.
The story of Riverdale revolves around teenage Archie Andrews (the publishing company was named after this character), who lives in the small American town of Riverdale. The first season begins with the fact that one quiet summer, when all the schoolchildren were on vacation, the city was shocked by the ominous disappearance of Jason Blossom, a student at the local school. Archie was not too worried about the mysterious disappearance of a peer, because he had only one thing on his mind – the beautiful Veronica Lodge, the daughter of a millionaire accused of embezzlement, who recently settled in the city. But suddenly, a group of Boy Scouts discover Jason’s body in a local river. From that moment on, Archie begins to slowly get involved in this mysterious case, which could cost him his life.
The final season ends with a showdown between Archie’s team and Riverdale Mayor Perceval Pickens. The heroes reveal his plan, according to which he was going to build a ghost train, thereby possessing the souls of the living and the dead of the city. The Mayor unleashes the ghosts and resurrected dead on them that he has taken control of. They turn the entire city into a battlefield and with great difficulty defeat Perceval by trapping him in a mental trap.
Cast of Riverdale
The cast of the show is not stellar. The reason for this was that it began as a teenage series, that is, all the actors at the time of the beginning were not very adults and did not have time to somehow express themselves in a special way. Nevertheless, several familiar faces can still be found in it.
The main character Archie was played by KJ Apa. Some viewers, especially if they love animals, may have seen him in the 2017 film A Dog’s Life with Josh Gad and Dennis Kuyed. But the main glory of Ape was brought, of course, by “Riverdale”. The actor himself is grateful for the success of the project, first of all to the fans:
“This show gave the whole team so much. In fact, without the fans, we wouldn’t have a trajectory or a purpose for this show. So for everything that we shoot now, for everything that we will do in the future, we are eternally grateful to them.
Archie’s lover, Veronica, was embodied on screen by Camila Mendez, who was featured in the recent comedy Hanging in Palm Springs. The series also stars Lili Reinhart, the star of the recent remake of Charlie’s Angels, and Cole Sprouse, who played Cody on The Life of Zack and Cody.
Fan Reviews for Riverdale Season 6
Unfortunately, the reception of the series has gotten worse and worse over the years. Now we can already say that the show is going through its darkest days.
Reviewers categorically refuse to accept the 6th season of the series. Most of them write that they simply do not understand how a series with such an absurd script could be renewed for so many seasons. The first 2 seasons could still be called quite good, but everything that was filmed after was just awful. Some fans say that the writers are just trying to cram an impossibly large number of storylines into one season, which prevents all of them from developing smoothly.
Also, those commentators who were familiar with the original comics were outraged that all the characters were supposed to be about 16 years old, while the characters of Riverdale are well over 20, they are already planning families, which does not fit in at all. original concept.
Now the main question for all of them is only when this endless parade of shame will finally end.
Will there be a 7th season of Riverdale?
The showrunners already renewed the series for a 7th season back in March 2022. According to insiders, it will be the final show for the show, although no official statements have yet been made in this regard.
According to recent comments from the studio, in the new season, the characters will again become teenagers. Due to time travel at the end of season 6, the timeline of the universe was broken. Therefore, events will take place in the retro world of the 1950s.
Presumably, the final season will be released in the middle of 2023, that is, in the spring and summer of next year.
What else to see from the Archie universe?
Riverdale is not the only adaptation of the Archie comics. A new series about the adventures of Sabrina Spellman, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, recently wrapped. Moreover, unlike the last seasons of Riverdale, the series about Sabrina was received very warmly by the fans.
For a long time it was a mystery to the audience whether these 2 shows would be combined into one universe. Finally, in the 6th season of Riverdale, Sabrina, played by Kiranan Shipka, appeared for one episode as a cameo, which confirmed the connection between these series. Now you have a chance to immerse yourself in the whole mystical movie universe from Archie.
The series “Katy Keene” also entered the same universe. It tells about a young girl, Katie, who dreams of becoming the world’s most famous fashion designer and conquering New York with her outfits. It was created primarily as a melodrama, so there are much less mystics there. But this show is much more connected to Riverdale due to common events and characters.

As if glued on by the smiles of local residents, a bottomless closet, the size of Narnia itself, is hidden, tightly stuffed with skeletons. Of course, every small town has its secrets. But even those who have spent their entire lives in Riverdale were shocked when this, figuratively speaking, Pandora’s box opened slightly, revealing its contents for all to see.
Believe me, I know what I’m talking about. Lately, I’ve begun to notice that everyone I care about somehow gets caught up in one David Lynch-esque story after another.
Riverdale is also a Norman Rockwell-inspired city. Here you have a pancake midnight party at the end of winter, and frosty patterns decorating the windows of City Hall, and puffs of steam escaping from your mouth when – if! We decide to go out into the cold. Or take the reunion of Riverdale High School, a celebration of the spirit of America, licked off the screen of cable TV: football, dancing, and a sense of pride in one’s town.
But my personal favorite is the annual Fourth of July celebration of Independence Day. Seriously, this is the only holiday that seems important to me. Usually, Betty and Archie and I took part in city festivities together, ate hot dogs and cotton candy, tried our hand at the fair competition – who will shoot the ball into the ring? (Betty always turned out to be the sharpest of us.) By the evening, Archie and I would go to Centerville to watch the fireworks, and Betty would stay in Riverdale, going to a local concert with her sister Polly (Betty was constantly chasing after her sister, even when Polly started dating Jason and they became inseparable). Independence Day is our thing. It’s always been that way. Archie and I took part in the celebration even before we could walk, our parents took us with them. Betty joined us somewhere in first grade. And it’s been our thing ever since.
Or rather, it was our feature.
Because everything changed this summer. Betty left for Los Angeles to hone her journalistic skills at an internship at the Hello Giggles Internet portal (by the way, Polly and Jason broke up – they quarreled nobly, they burned all the bridges, just the War of the Scarlet and White Roses). And Archie got stuck helping his father at the construction site…
To be honest, I rarely meet him lately. I do not know why. Better don’t ask.
Well, I… What am I? So far, summer is summer. I work part-time in the evening at the Twilight movie theater to get a little money, not to stay at home and at the same time less an eyesore to my dad …
Not an eyesore – I am a master at this. I watch what is happening from the side, and then I write about everything that I see.
Meanwhile in New York, though none of us knew it yet, a young socialite named Veronica Lodge was blithely living her life like a Gossip Girl heroine, all thanks to her dad, Hiram Lodge, or rather, his bottomless bank account. Veronica’s parents have their own history with Riverdale, but it had nothing to do with us.
Well, at least we thought so.
According to the butterfly effect, even the smallest event can cause unpredictable – and catastrophic – events. One action – a cascade of consequences – an unforeseen outcome.
This is exactly what happened to us that summer. With Archie, Betty, Veronica and me. It was the third of July. Ahead loomed a holiday, from which I did not expect anything good, since we were apart. We didn’t even know then that our paths had already intertwined in the most outlandish way.
Tiny stupid butterflies, we flapped our wings, not knowing where it would lead.
Part one. Morning

Chapter One
Betty
Dear diary!
I can’t believe it’s already the fourth of July! So strange to celebrate Independence Day here in Los Angeles without Polly, Archie and Jughead. I can’t even remember the last time we missed a city party in Riverdale on this day. Probably the summer when Archie and Jughead were building a treehouse and Archie broke his arm. We then spent the whole day at home, reading comics and eating red-white-blue popsicles. The ice cream made everyone’s tongues purple, and Juggy ate three times as many servings as Archie and me. But that was so long ago.
Of course I miss Riverdale and my friends. But LA is just AMAZING. Aunt Gertrude’s house smells weird (I don’t know what it is, but I think it’s ingrained in the walls – it’s some strange mixture of garlic and laundry soap), but she lives right on the edge of Runyon Canyon Park. So every day before work I run there. The view is just incredible. The spirit is captivating. There is nothing like this in Riverdale.
The weather is great, the barista at Blackwood Coffee has already memorized my order (espresso, add milk and two tablespoons of sugar)… And one more thing…
Yes, I miss Polly. But this is the first time to be so far from my mother … Hmm, not bad at all.
It’s clear that I love her, and, of course, my mother loves me, but she controls everything so much. And then suddenly I had at least some freedom of action. That is so cool.
I also enjoy working for the women’s online magazine Hello Giggles. Nothing that I haven’t been able to please my boss, Rebecca Santos, editor-in-chief of the features department. Whether she thinks I’m a fool from the backwoods, or something else, but for some reason I just can not impress her.
Probably because I’m new, not local, and I have much less experience than other employees. Rebecca basically runs me around with little errands—getting coffee, setting up a meeting, doing a mailing list. In general, I am her errand girl.
That is to say, I’m still delighted with the new work, but so far I haven’t been able to write anything, except maybe the titles on the spines of the folders. Rebecca demands that I first write these names in pencil, and then trace them with a felt-tip pen. In my opinion, she has some kind of quirk, maybe even a phobia. In any case, the Pulitzer Prize does not shine for me yet.
In general, Rebecca does not let me get bored, and this is wonderful. For different reasons. Well, at least because with such a load, I have no time to be sad because of separation from friends with whom I will not be able to celebrate Independence Day – and this is perhaps the only drawback of the summer in Los Angeles.
Oh, who am I kidding, diary? I don’t miss my friends, I miss Archie.
Polly:
Hello sister. Is there time? I want to chat.
And find out about this Freaky Brad of yours. Judging by the nickname, he is so . .. Not Archie. Which is good.
I miss you.
Betty:
I’m after you too. But you better just call him Brad. POZYAZYA:) He is not Archie at all. In a good way. But not Archie. In a bad way.
Freaky Brad. So he introduced himself. It sounded so bad that I laughed, which is probably why he said it.
I met him a week after my arrival in Los Angeles. I had already begun to slowly get used to the bustle of the city. The flow of cars here is simply insane, traffic jams do not dissolve for hours, and every day. And the weather is always the same – seriously, no one here knows what to do on those rare days when it rains. The locals would go crazy if they had to live in Riverdale in the winter, although we have so much maple syrup that the whole of Los Angeles could eat only this syrup, and endlessly … Ordinary passers-by here look like celebrities, maybe once – one day they will become stars. But still, I still felt like a provincial in a big city – and how could it be otherwise, when I had some pink flowers or something like that on almost all my clothes? I might as well put a sign on my forehead that says TOURIST. ..or STRANGER. Nevertheless, I gradually adapted to the rhythm of the city, and although I still felt like an outsider, I felt good here.
Polly wrote to me often, asking about the guys in Los Angeles, and I said that the guys don’t pay attention to me. I am a sweetheart for them. The unremarkable girl next door. And the only guy whose attention I really need definitely loves me … but probably not in the way I would like. For him, I’m just the girl next door.
(Actually, I don’t know how he feels about me, because I was always afraid to ask.)
So, it was Friday. Rebecca sent me to buy sushi for the entire office (tempura shrimp rolls, brown rice, hot sauce, and hijiki seaweed salad—I already knew by heart what Rebecca usually orders). Even though I had pre-ordered over the phone, the waiter said that I would have to wait, so I took a book out of my bag (The Bluest Eyes, I read it a hundred times) and sat on the grass in Maguire Gardens, there is a great place : you can sit and stare at people.
It was one of those summer days when everything around is lush green and blooming and the sky is as blue as in professional photos. Only it was not a photograph, but real life. Hashtag: no filter.
And suddenly a shadow fell on the page of the book.
– Some kind of light reading, right?
I raised my head. Standing next to me was a guy my own age, wearing a plain T-shirt and cargo pants. Her blond hair, with a golden tint, was disheveled, a snow-white smile played on her lips, just like in a toothpaste advertisement.
I flared up:
– You can hardly relax with this book, but it is my favorite.
The understatement of the century. Toni Morrison is my IDOL. Hello Giggles is hosting a readership meeting for her this summer, and I dream of being a part of that project. Since I found out about the meeting, I even allowed myself some “transparent” hints – for example, I carried one of Morrison’s books with me everywhere.
– If you read such books to relax, other ways to unwind will not hurt you. When he smiled, wrinkles gathered at the corners of his eyes.
– And what do you suggest? I asked.
Am I flirting with him? What if Los Angeles Betty really knows how to flirt? And maybe Riverdale Betty should learn something from her?
He smiled again:
– I was hoping you would ask. Well, the first thing that comes to mind is let me give you a proper rest.
I must have been a little taken aback, because he hastily added:
– Well, or just go to dinner together. Modestly so. I swear I’m not a maniac or a murderer. Honestly.
“Hmmm…” I pretended to consider his offer. “Well, since you’re not a homicidal maniac… and modestly… I like that.
– You see? We are kindred spirits.
Kindred souls. I thought of Archie’s red hair, his freckles, his bottomless green eyes. Archie and I go to Pope’s diner all the time, but none of those trips can be called a date.
– Here is my phone number. Will you give me your number? He handed me the cell phone, suddenly wrinkled his forehead. “Ah, yes… I seem to be getting ahead of myself. It would be nice to know your name first.
“Betty,” I laughed. — Betty Cooper.
I took the phone from him and gasped. I completely forgot about time! Rebecca’s shrimp must be cold by now. Crap. Hastily punched her number into his phone, grabbed her bag and jumped up.
– Sorry, I have to run… you know, I have an internship…
– No problem. Then you will tell everything in detail. During the dinner.
I smiled and suddenly became curious: do I have the same wrinkles around my eyes?
– Okay, at dinner.
– By the way, my name is Brad. Or – since you’re kind of new to California – you can call me Freaky Brad.
I stared at him.
– Well, okay… Can I not call you that? Ha, that Los Angeles Betty was flirting again!
Amazing. And cool.
– Betty Cooper, you can call me whatever you want. But I advise you to hurry up before the authorities notice how you are filming the guys during the break.
Thanks to both of you for the super kick at yesterday’s rehearsal. We are cool, a hundred pounds!
Don’t forget, meet outside the school today at 2:00 sharp for one more turnip before tomorrow night’s performance at City Hall. I send you the program. Look through the list of songs, mark, choka. If you want to change something, be prepared to explain why.
Tomorrow we’ll meet on the square at 16:00 for a sound check. Punctuality is everything, lady. We may not care if we make it to the annual screening of Independence Day at Twilight (Is this Jughead Jones joking or what?), but according to the tradition of the “Pussy” you need to tune in to the performance.
Last but not least, if any of you see Reggie Mantle hanging around, I advise you to leave. He offered me the type to become the “manager” of “Kitties”. It would be funny, of course, if he weren’t so pathetic. Don’t let him drive you into a corner, if you don’t want a brawl. We can’t afford any smut right now!
Kisses, tsap-scratches.

Chapter Two
Jughead
Early in the morning, the trailer seems especially disgusting (or deliciously disgusting?). Too bad I was born a lark. The light of the rising sun barely breaks through the tiny windows, but only smears the shadows on the shabby furniture bought at sales and dances on the clods of dust in the corners. Well, just an artistic embodiment of the concept of abandonment.
The morning had just begun, but it was no different from all the previous ones. The old smell of tobacco smoke and cheap beer hung in the air. I forced myself to sit up—yesterday I came home before Dad, so I had to go to bed on the couch, the least I could do, give him the bedroom—and looked around.
Emptiness reigned all around. I felt it in my gut, in my spinal cord in this gloomy place, I heard it like a soundless echo, although I could not describe it in words.
Since I came home earlier than my father, it means that he was out late yesterday. And that means…
Nothing good.
Parents’ constant fights are a nightmare, my insides turned over when I saw them yelling at each other, especially with Jellybean, who suffered so much because of it. But at least when Mom yelled at Dad—even though Jellybean and I were horrified—it meant they were both there, together.
“It won’t be long,” Mom told me as she crammed a battered suitcase into the trunk of an equally battered car and put Jellybean in the baby car seat, whining she was big enough to want to sit in the front seat.
And she left. “It’s not for long. Until dad gets his life back.” Like it’s that simple, “make life better.” It’s like there’s a blank to-do list that Dad needs to fill out, ticking off the items one by one, and then his life will miraculously get better.
As if my father’s life had ever been settled.
It’s not that I didn’t want to believe in him. Or in both of them.
But at sixteen I couldn’t remember the time when my dad was all right. In this connection, my mother’s plans somehow did not please.
What about the fact that she didn’t take me with her? I tried not to think about what that meant. In any case, someone had to stay with dad, look after him and his definitely-not-settled life. So here I am, a not-so-prodigal son, thrown into Riverdale to keep my dad under surveillance.
Of course, it would be much easier to keep an eye on him if he would at least occasionally appear in my field of vision.
But, probably, there is some secret meaning in this, because why keep an eye on someone who is already in sight all the time?
Most schoolchildren are counting the days until summer vacation. But, to be honest, I lacked the structure of the school year, which set the rhythm for my days (let this rhythm include answers in the lessons, tests, etc. ).
Or maybe this particular summer seemed especially blurry, since Mom and Jellybean were away, Betty was far away … Archie got stuck … who knows what, but he is also never around, and the reason is definitely not that he works so hard for construction site, helping dad. I do not believe in this.
Archie and I used to be almost like brothers. Our fathers ran a business together and we grew up together. But lately Archie has changed. And three weeks ago, when I went to tell him that my mother had gone and taken Jellybean… I couldn’t find him. Literally. And he didn’t answer text messages. My best friend… didn’t notice me point-blank.
And anyway, how long will this “briefly” of hers last?
The night was hot. After washing off the sticky sweat in the shower, I quickly got dressed and stuffed my phone into one pocket, this junk with a cracked screen (no messages), and in the other a painfully empty wallet. True, I was working that day, which meant that it would not be empty for long. But before heading over to Twilight to get everything set up for our completely serious, non-ironic Independence Day screening, I wanted to meet Archie. Let him look me in the eye and say straight out that we are not going to Centerville together to watch stupid fireworks and walk (I know, I know, but this is a tradition).
So it was necessary to find both dad and Archie.
And for some reason it seemed to me that neither one nor the other would make my task easier.
* * *
I went to Pope on foot. So-so fun, but not to take dad’s pickup to find dad and ask if he can take his pickup.
(Obviously, the small town of Riverdale doesn’t feel small anymore when you hobble around.)
When I left, a pickup truck was in front of the house, so my father left on a motorcycle (it’s worth noting that a motorcycle is no better than a pickup truck, if dad went into a binge, but that’s another topic). Be that as it may, I left the car gathering dust in front of the house, while I stomped on foot.
I took a detour, and it might seem pointless if you don’t know that the longer road runs through Archie’s quarter. I was hoping to catch him before work and talk about tomorrow night. Rows of dark, hushed houses stretched along the deserted streets, waiting for the sun to rise. In fact, the only window that had a light on was Archie’s, which struck me as odd given the early hour. Archie didn’t seem to be sleeping, what else could that light mean? I waited for a few minutes, feeling like a perverted maniac (“Oh, it’s Jughead Jones, as always, hiding in the bushes, what a weirdo!”), But everything in the room remained motionless. From where I sat, I had a full view of the bed, and Archie wasn’t in it.
Sighing, I took out my phone from my pocket.
“Are you awake yet?” I typed in, feeling like a psycho chasing a victim rather than an ordinary (albeit eccentric and shy) guy who decides to chat with a friend.
Then he stared intently at the window. Nothing. There was no response to the message either, not even those mocking tiny dots in the chat window, meaning that your interlocutor is considering what to answer you. And after a few minutes—a few more minutes than I’d like to admit—I shrugged, put my phone away, and continued on my way in the direction of Pope’s.
I had no idea where Archie might be at this hour. Perhaps everything was explained very simply: for example, he had already left with his dad for a construction site in order to start work early. But then I’d have to pretend to myself that I didn’t see Mr. Andrews’ car in their driveway. If the car is at the house, then Mr. Andrews is not at work yet. And since Mr. Andrews isn’t at work yet, Archie isn’t there either. With all my desire, even I could not pretend that I did not notice inconsistencies.
So where the hell is he, this Archie?
* * *
By the time I got to Pope, the sun had already risen. It was hot, and I was covered with sweat again. At this early hour, the parking lot was deserted… but not as crowded as I expected. Sartre said, “Hell is others.” And it won’t take you long to realize that I wholeheartedly agree with him. (However, given that this phrase has become my life credo, you would not be able to communicate with me longer if you wanted to. And if you did, you would not have such a desire.)
Archie didn’t answer. There would be nothing strange in this – it would be at such and such an early hour – if I did not know that he was not at home and, therefore, was not sleeping. Another confirmation that Archie Andrews has become a mystery to me.
The last time we saw each other, in fact, at the same Pope. Exactly a week ago. The evening turned out to be, as they say, dark and rainy, and I was sitting alone at a cafe table, trying to write. I’ve been doing this more and more lately. I have no idea if my writing will do anything – probably not, who am I kidding? – but I kind of don’t care. When I write, I turn off the outside world and at the same time I am perfectly aware and thinking. As for me, this is how I find myself in the “best of all worlds”, like according to Leibniz.
Of course, I understand that “the evening was dark and stormy” – a cliché phrase, the most banal beginning for a story that can be. But it is not for nothing that novice authors are advised to write truthfully and only about what they know well, and all that. And the evening was really dark and rainy. I can’t help how the weather was.
Pope teased me about being alone with my old heavy laptop. I could have gotten used to all these years, but that evening he got me: they say, if I continue to write books all my free time in deep solitude (although in fact I usually sat in a cafe among other visitors), I will turn into some horror movie character, like that guy from The Shining or even worse.
“We don’t have those in Riverdale,” I replied. Then I believed in it and did not even know what lay ahead of me.
The storm had been raging for several hours, and it was just me and Pope in the cafe. Occasionally someone would drop in to pick up a takeout order, but it was clear that Pope wasn’t closing just to keep me out of the street. He’s a good man, I didn’t want to abuse his hospitality, and I was about to leave—back to the trailer, where the absence of my mother and Jellybean had sunk into the walls like a permanent stain that no bleach can handle, or go somewhere else—when the bell tinkled. over the door and entered the cafe.
– Archie! Well, well, who was blown to us by the wind! Why are you walking around in this weather? Pope exclaimed before I turned and saw him.
– Jughead…
Archie’s hair was stuck to his forehead, water was dripping from his clothes, and a small puddle was spreading on the floor under his feet. What are you walking around! It looked like a steamroller had driven over it, and then rain poured down from above. And all because of the look – some confused. No, not even confused. More like intimidated.
– Hello. – I’m confused myself. He glanced sideways at the drops, fractionally falling from his fingertips, then he caught himself, pointed to a place opposite at the table: – Will you sit down?
Archie hesitated, and it felt like a knife had been twirled in my heart. There was a time when I wouldn’t have to propose and he wouldn’t hesitate. And quite recently.
Probably everything can really change in one summer.
I shrugged as if I didn’t care, even though I didn’t believe myself. Archie sat down opposite.
– Hello.
Long time no see. “Looks like I was thinking only in clichés that evening. – What are you doing?
– I work for my dad, you know. Lew concrete. He winced. – This, of course, is not a dream job, but dad needs help. So, whether you like it or not…
– Whether you like it or not, – I agreed.
My dad worked for Mr. Andrews and there was no need to explain how hard it was.
– And you… write everything. Archie nodded towards the laptop in front of me.
– I try a little. I do not count on a literary award, of course. I don’t know if there are people who want to read this.
His face softened, but he seemed to be thinking about something else entirely. About something far away.
– Come on, there will definitely be. You’ve always been the best at coming up with stories. Remember when we spent the night in the tree house? Your horror stories have always been the scariest of all. I pretended not to be afraid, but in fact I wanted to puff home and hide under the bed with Vegas in an embrace.
– Yeah, I remember. – I smiled. “You were a bad pretender.
“Then I read you like an open book, Arch,” I thought. “Yes, and now, in general, too.”
Construction work didn’t explain why we were so distant from each other. Why was he never around? And most importantly, why does he have such a dead, confused look.
“Listen…” Archie suddenly jumped up, “what if I… write myself? He looked down in embarrassment, as if this was the most shameful act of his life.
– What are you doing?!
There is nothing to be ashamed of, but it sounded very unexpected. Our football player Archie, school jock – and began to write? Unexpected is putting it mildly.
– Is it a romance or something?
– Well … rather, poetry. Archie’s cheeks turned crimson.
– Poems? You?
– Well, I don’t know… Probably… it’s like songs… – He was completely embarrassed. – All right, kill it. No matter. The brief moment of weakness passed. – What do you do for the holidays?
– I will play the third one in “Twilight” “Independence Day”, everything is the same as always. But the cinema is closed on the fourth, so I have a day off.
– Well, yes, of course. Cool. He stroked his hair thoughtfully.
I don’t know who pulled my tongue. But I’ve been thinking about it for weeks now, and today, from the moment I woke up. My relationship with Archie had gone completely awry, and I was about to put all that nonsense out of my head. But now he suddenly changed his mind.
Maybe it was all about the expression on his face – as if some kind of longing gnawed at him. Or maybe talking about the tree house and how long we’ve been friends.
– Do you remember how we used to go to Centerville every year to watch the fireworks?
– It was great.
– Maybe we can go this year too? Let’s remember our youth, we’ll ride the bus.
My insides tightened with a bad premonition. Now he will refuse…
But Archie’s face suddenly cleared up:
– Yes. Exactly, great! Will you pick me up at four?
– Agreed!
And for a moment it seemed to me that everything between us was the same as before.
It makes me sick to remember how much I wanted to believe it. By the time I realized what Archie and I were really going through, and how precarious our longtime friendship had become… by then it was too late to do anything.

12 Monkeys
Country: USA
Genre: detective, drama, adventure, thriller, fantasy
Director: David Grossman, John Badham
Starring: Aaron Wford Amanda Shull 9Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.)
Detectives – a genre of cinema, the main characters or heroes of which are trying to find a solution to a problem or solve a crime. Throughout the film, a police detective, a private detective or a simple layman is trying to figure out the mysterious circumstances of a particular incident, using all the means at his disposal.
Particular attention is paid to the protagonist’s deductive abilities, his skill, determination, perseverance and other personal and professional qualities, with the help of which he tries to understand a crime or situation, analyzing evidence and circumstances, collecting evidence, interrogating witnesses and tracking down a criminal. One of the key features of films of the detective genre is suspense (from the English suspense) – a state of anxiety and anxious expectation. This effect is achieved through unexpected plot twists, sound accompaniment, the play of light and shadow, as well as various camera techniques.
All these techniques were used in his films by the legendary Alfred Hitchcock, who made an invaluable contribution to the development of the detective genre and cinema in general. Hitchcock’s best films are a benchmark for fans of the thriller and detective genres, and a kind of study guide for directors working in these genres. You can watch his films, enjoying the work of the master, despite the specifics of the genre, several times, and the list of excellent detective stories shot under the impression of his work is huge.
There are two types of good detectives – open and closed. Closed detectives hide and mask the identity of the criminal throughout the film, until his capture, leaving the audience to wonder, worry and doubt. An open detective, on the contrary, reveals the identity of the criminal at the very beginning of the story, describing in detail both himself and the so-called crime committed by him. “perfect crime”. In such films, the protagonist tries to identify the criminal or (when it is not a secret for him) to prove his guilt, while how he will be able to do this is not clear even to the audience, despite the fact that they know the circumstances of the crime. Usually, as in Closed Detectives, this happens towards the end of the film, when it seems that there is no longer any hope for a favorable outcome.

Drama is one of the most common cinematic genres. As a rule, these films tell about the private life and social conflicts of the characters, focusing on the universal contradictions embodied in their actions and behavior. A characteristic feature of the genre is the stylistics close to reality and everyday plot.
Drama (from the ancient Greek language – action) is a very broad concept that came to cinema from theater and literature. Before the advent of film and television in theater, the term was used to describe a type of play that is neither a comedy nor a tragedy. In this regard, when describing a particular film, the word drama is most often used in combination with additional terms. This division helps to get a more concrete idea of the film’s setting and the issues it raises.
Thanks to everyday scenes and realism close to many viewers, the best drama films of the present and the last century are very popular. You can watch these films several times.

FAQs
Applying
Interview
Post interview
The short answer: We interview as many people from as many places as possible. The longer answer: We would love to interview everyone who applies, but we’re not a huge firm, so we can’t do that. We try to interview as many people as we can. We don’t have a GPA or degree requirement, and we hire students of all tenures from many different universities and concentrations. We had over 70 universities represented in last year’s global internship program.
Nope! If there’s something you think we should know about that doesn’t fit nicely onto your resume/CV, feel free to include it in the text box at the bottom of our application. If not, feel free to leave this blank.
Nope! But those with previous finance experience are of course welcome to apply.
We get a lot of requests like this. If we said yes to all of them, we wouldn’t have time to do our actual work. So unfortunately, no. Plus, most of us are already appropriately caffeinated.
Depending on your role and which office you’re in, this might vary a bit, but we work hard to provide a reasonable work-life balance. Most nights, things are pretty empty by about 6:30pm.
Jane Street is also a place that respects people’s time outside of the office. People here work incredibly hard during the day, but when they go home, they have the freedom to disconnect from work and focus on the rest of their lives.
This changes from office to office, and depending on the role. Check with your recruiter if you’re not sure whether we’ll sponsor for the position you’re considering.
When we receive an application, we consider it for all open roles globally. From there, we’ll try to eliminate roles that don’t seem like a great fit, and help you find the right home. It’s not uncommon for candidates to be considered for more than one team over the course of their interview process. Our goal is to help you figure out which role could be right for you.
We don’t typically have one; our applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. We do recommend applying as soon as possible, though.
Tell us! We can often work with you to expedite your interview process so that you know what all your options are and can make an informed decision.
For any interview processes not outlined above, it can be a bit more bespoke; in those cases, your recruiter can give you more information about what to expect.
Nope! You can interview in whichever language you know best, and in fact, we strongly encourage you not to try OCaml for the first time during the interview. Most of the software engineers we hire come in without any OCaml or even functional programming experience.
We don’t interview on the weekends (see the earlier point about work-life balance), but we are happy to talk to you during local business hours from Monday to Friday.
Yep! We’ll book everything for you and take care of your travel and hotel costs.
We’re a casual office, so many of us wear jeans and a t-shirt most days. If you’re coming from your current job, we understand you might be dressed a bit more formally. Either way, we won’t judge.
If we’re speaking to you on the phone, you should wait for our call. If you know you’ll have a poor connection or won’t have access to a phone, please let us know ahead of time, and we’ll coordinate your interview via WebEx or Skype.
If it’s 10-15 minutes ahead of your scheduled interview time, feel free to come to the office and get settled in. If you’re way ahead of schedule, you might want to consider grabbing a coffee nearby.
There is a lot of information on the internet—some true, some not. Don’t believe everything you read. If you’re curious about something you’ve heard, ask us about it! We’re here to help.
You should hear back from us within a week. We will follow up with you whether or not we’re moving forward with the process (no one likes to be left hanging), so if you haven’t heard by then, please follow up with your recruiter.
You can absolutely reinterview if it didn’t work out the first time. Plenty of people who currently work at Jane Street didn’t make it through our interview process their first time around. We usually recommend waiting to reapply for at least a year (in the case of current students), or until your experience or circumstances have significantly changed (in the case of experienced hires). This is not a hard and fast rule, but we think it’s a reasonable guideline.

Pre-Interview
(Ten minutes)
1) Mental Math: One million minus one hundred eleven.
2) Mental Math: Fifty-four percent of one hundred ten.
3) Game: With one die, suppose in a round, you earn the amount of dollars equal to the value of the upwards face of the die. (eg. you earn $6 if you roll a six.) Now also suppose after your first roll, you are given the opportunity to cancel your first and roll again, taking that value as the final value. What should your strategy be?
4) What’s the closest integer to the square root of 1420.
5) You and a roommate are hosting a party. You invite 10 other pairs of roommates. During the party you poll everyone at the party (excluding yourself) and ask how many hands each person shook. Two conditions:
a) Each person did not shake his roommate’s hand.
b) Each person shook a different number of hands.
Question: How many hands did you roommate shake?
6) a) You roll a die, and are given an amount in dollar equal to the number on the die. What would you pay to play this game if you played it a lot of times?
b) now say that when you roll the die, you’re allowed to either take the money that you’d get with the roll, or roll a second time; if you roll a second time, you’re obligated to take the number of dollars that you get with the second roll. Now what is the worth of the game?
c) Same thing as above, except you have an option to play the game a third time.
Interview
(Thirty minutes)
1) Suppose you are given the opportunity to bid for a treasure chest, which you know with 100% confidence to be priced anywhere between $0-$1000. If you bid equal to or above the price, you win the treasure chest (at the cost of your bid). If you bid below the price, you do not earn the treasure chest. Now, also suppose you have a friend who is willing to buy the treasure chest from you for one and a half times the price of the treasure chest (should you obtain the chest). What should your bid be?
2) In Baseball, the batting average is the number of hits over the number of at bats. Player A has a greater batting average than Player B in the first half of the season and the second half of the season. Is it possible that Player B would have a higher batting average for the entire season?
3) How much calories does a Big Mac have? Would you bet $1 on it? How about $10?
4) How many tons does the ocean weigh?
5) How much would you be willing to bet on it being within 25% of that at even odds?
6) A company has a value V which is uniformly distributed between 0 and 1. you are planning to place a bid B for the company. If B is smaller than V, then your bid loses and you get nothing; if B is larger than V, you get to purchase the company at price B, and the company will end up being worth 1.5 * V. What price B should you bid to maximize your profit?
7) On a sheet of paper, you have 100 statements written down. the first says, “at most 0 of these 100 statements are true.” the second says, “at most 1 of these 100 statements are true.” … the nth says, “at most (n-1) of these 100 statements are true. … the 100th says, “at most 99 of these statements are true.” how many of the statements are true?
8) You have two decks of cards: one has 13 reds and 13 blacks, and the other has 26 reds and 26 blacks. We play a game in which you select one of the two decks, and pick two cards from it; you win the game if you select two black cards. Which deck should you select to maximize your chances of winning? Try to do this problem in your head, without writing any calculations down.
9) You have a deck of 52 cards, and you keep taking pairs of cards out of the deck. if a pair of cards are both red, then you win that pair; if a pair of cards are both black, then I win that pair; if a pair of cards has one red and one black, then it’s discarded. If, after going through the whole deck, you have more pairs than I do, then you win $1, and if I have more pairs than you do, I win $1. What is the value of this game in the long run?

For the mental math questions, are we expected to just rattle off the answer, or talk out loud through the steps?
For example,
-> Whats 54% of 110?
->(wait couple seconds to calculate) 59. 2=361 so (\sqrt{355}) is very close to 19. I would then guesstimate my answer at ~37.9 give or take.
Now you see the relationship between these two questions.
Click to expand…
Thanks for your response! When I did it, I pretty much just figured out it was between 35 and 40, and then started squaring them one by one.
What about my other question? Would you outline the method out loud as you were doing it, or just be silent for 5 seconds until you’ve figured out the answer?
Andy Nguyen
#6
Of course they want you to explain as you think. 2 = 1225 + 70 + 1 = 1296
I can get those relatively quickly using the above method, the problem was that there were too many numbers to check. You’re right though, since it’s halfway, I only need to start at 38.
Also, would you say outloud those intermediate steps, or just do it?

Depends on the overall feel of the interview. I generally outline the steps, but sometimes, if I can get an answer really really quickly…I don’t outline the steps. I have had an interviewer stop mid-way and ask me, how did I do it so quickly.
Part of the magic is not telling up front how the trick is done.

Andy, did you get the first question right?
Interview (Thirty minutes)
1) Suppose you are given the opportunity to bid for a treasure chest, which you know with 100% confidence to be priced anywhere between $0-$1000. If you bid equal to or above the price, you win the treasure chest (at the cost of your bid). If you bid below the price, you do not earn the treasure chest. Now, also suppose you have a friend who is willing to buy the treasure chest from you for one and a half times the price of the treasure chest (should you obtain the chest). What should your bid be?
Click to expand…
How can I place a bid if I don’t understand the distribution of the values? e.g. If I bid say 600, I make money if the chest is valued over 400 and less than 600, and lose money if the chest if valued under 400. But as per your question, I do not know what is the probability that the chest is valued under 400.
#11
I got the same one. The correct answer is 0 which is break even. Any bid above 0 will be a lost in profit.
silkentouch
#12
Ryan, That is true if the distribution is uniform. For non-uniform distribution, a positive bid may make sense. e.g. assume the distribution from [0,1000] to be a uniform ‘near exhaustive’ distribution over [750,1000]. Then a bid of 1000 would be the best bid….

Hi Joe, Here is a dirty answer: For a uniform distribution, say you bid 300. If the cost is over 300, you make or lose nothing. If the cost is less than 200 (probability 2/10), you lose an amount equally distributed over 0-300. If the cost is between 200-300 (probability 1/10), you make an amount equally distributed between 0-150. Do you make or lose money, on average if you bid 300? Why?

The mathematical way to do this is to write down the expected profit P from a bid B, given a probability density function p(V) of the initial “true value” of the firm V
(E(P) = \int_{0}^{B} (1. {B} p(V) dV)
or, if we rewrite P(V) as the cumulative distribution function of the true value of the firm:
(Bp(B) = 2P(B))

Thank you for ur reply. I followed it until u formed the first (Bp(B)). I understood the method to create u expected profit, its the natural/instinctive idea. Then it is maximal at a boundary or a max-turning point. My issue is then how to differentiate the equation. Using FTC I got:
(d(E(P))/dB = 2p(B))
where (p(B)) is the probability V=B. As we are talking about a continuous probability then that is zero, thus (d(E(P))/dB = 0) for all B. {B}p(V)dV)
I suggest you brush up on your calculus.
Also, I suggest that you brush up on your ideas about probability. p(B) is not the probability that the random variable is B. p(B) is the probability DENSITY. It is a finite-valued function. Its only measurable meaning is in integral form.

Eeek!
For uniform distribution the intuitive thing, for me, if to just calculate the integral. b (1.5v – b) dv = – \frac{b}{4} )
I think it’s the first one but a friend of mine insists it’s the second without a good explanation.
The second one looks like the conditional expectation (E[1.5v-b|b \geq v])
But surely what we want is (E[(1.5v-b)1_{[b \geq v]}]) where (1_{[b \geq v]}) is an indicator function.
I hope this all makes sense.

The second one says “because you’re bidding b, you now think the distribution of the real value is uniform on [0,b]” which does not make sense. This is just a conditional expectation and no where in the question does it say that your assumption changes with your bid.
The actual payout is (1.5V-B) if (B \geq V) and 0 otherwise.
This is equivalent to ((1.5V-B)\mathbb{I}_{[B \geq V]}).
Hence the first integral is the correct one.

Hello guys, I just had a brutal second round interview for a trader summer internship at Jane Street Capital. I didn’t do well but I’m curious in finding out the answer to one of their questions. Basically, this is how it goes.
You are given a 100 sided die. After you roll once, you can choose to either get paid the dollar amount of that roll OR pay one dollar for one more roll. What is the expected value of the game?(There is no limit on the number of rolls.)
Keith Tan

each side of landing is 1/100 probabilty. each landing you have an equal payoff from $1 to $100. expected value = 1/100 x sumFrom(1 to 100) = 1/100 x ((100 x (100+1)/2) = 50.50.
i could be wrong. correct me!
HarishKumar
#3
I think that is incorrect. The interviewer told me that the expected value should be above 80. He then asked me to calculate the expected value of the game if the player adopted a strategy of opting to roll again only if he/she rolls <=84 which I then worked out to be 87.5 according to the following calculation.
Using the above recurrence relation, E(game) works out to be $87.50. So after he asked me this, I learnt that the expected value of the game is at least $87.50. However, I am confused on how to find the maximum expected value(which I think is what the interviewer wanted) systematically.

Keith, you need to take into account the fact that you can roll again.
If we let E be the expected value of the game, then the optimal strategy is to roll again if we roll any number less than E-1. The probability of rolling less than E-1 is approximately (E-1)/100 (need to round E down to an integer for this to be exact). If we roll greater than E-1, we stop and take the money. Our expectation, assuming we roll greater than E-1 is 0.5*(100+E-1) (again E needs to be rounded off to be exact). We have 1-(E-1)/100 probability of rolling a number greater than E-1.
Putting it all together then gives us that
E=0.01*(E-1)*(E-1) + 0.5*(100+E-1)*(1-0.01(E-1)) . Solving for E gives us E=86.85 (or E=115 which we can rule out as E needs to be between 0 and 100).
So this would give a strategy where you’d roll again any time you throw 86 or less. Given the rounding errors above, it’s probably best to check if a strategy where you roll again if you throw less than 87 would be better, or a strategy where you roll again if you throw less than 85.

There is a very similar question in this book…the strategy is to go roll by roll and only continue if you roll a number lower than the expected winnings on each roll and find the expectation based on each roll.
Advait
#6
Let the expected value of the game be E[X]. If you end up with a number <=50, you would roll again. Pr(you would roll again) = 0.5 E[X] = 0.5(sum(51-100)/50) + 0.5(0.5(sum(51-100)/50) – 1 + 0.5(0.5(sum(51-100)/50) – 1 +….
looks like geometric series with r <1. sum = a/1-r where a is the first term.
It wouldn’t make sense to roll again at 50 since your only 0.5 below expectation and the charge to roll again is 1.
DieterD
#8
Advait, you need to roll again when you end up with a number less than E[X]-1, which is your expectation when you roll again (after paying $1).
Advait
#9
Yes, agreed. That’s what I am doing in the equation. Roll. scored 50 or above -> OK. Otherwise pay 1 and roll again. Since E[x]-1 = 49.5. So what’s wrong ? It comes out = 75 – (49/51)= 74.04.
DieterD
#10
But if the expectation is 74.04, why would you accept a roll of say 51? Wouldn’t it be better to pay $1 and get the expectation of 69.04? Where does your “50” come from? It is the expectation of 1 roll, but there’s no need to limit yourself to one roll.
Advait
#11
You would accept 51 (for that matter 50) if you hit since if you rolled again the chance you get 74 and above hasn’t changed and is still 0. 26. Yes, the probability that you get 74 or more over multiple tries increases considerably. But, every time you try it, its the same since each try is independent.This, in essence, is captured by the relationship between conditional and absolute probability over multiple tries.
50 comes from the fact that you wouldn’t pay 1 to play a game with expectation 50.5 since that is 0.5 -EV.
The reason why the expectation is higher than numbers you’d accept is because it captures effects of scenarios where you get a string of low scores below 49.5 and eventually hit a score above 49 thereby converting probabilities associated with low payoffs in a conventional game with “at least” a respectable one in this game.
It, intuitively speaking, essentially is a premium you pay in order to ensure that the minimum amount you win from the game is going to be 50 regardless of the investment in the game (which depends on the number of tries) as opposed to a normal where you are guaranteed to win a minimum of 1 only.
Please correct me if your wrong.
Advait

On thinking further about this, there might be a few things I haven’t captured in the equation. For instance, if I applied the equation’s logic to a hypothetical where it was free to retry, I do not get 100 as the answer!

Hey Dieter, I guess something’s wrong. I’ll work it out and let you know of my price! I’m sure your not right either since as per your logic, you should take the money for anything greater than equal to E-1; and not just “greater than”.

Question, re: the problem with a 30-sided and 20-sided die.
You have a thirty-sided and I have a twenty-sided die. We roll both of them and whoever gets the higher roll wins. If we roll the same amount I win. The loser pays the dollar amount of the winning roll.
B) What is the expected value of this game for you?
The answer given is 10.2 but I keep getting something else. I tried many different ways, including the one prescribed in the solution, but I get the same value that’s not 10.2.

Some questions you can, some you can’t. I would say that for this question you should be able to do it in your head. Just split it into the case where the 30-die rolls >20 and the other case which is equivalent to two 20-dice. Then exploit symmetry.
Their solutions are pretty terrible lol

If I had to come up with something quickly on this, I’d get 12…… there is 1/3 chance that I roll something from 21-30 which is a guaranteed win, the EV in that case is 25.5, in the 2/3 chance that I get something from 1-20 there is a 50% chance of a win (since in that case we’re both going to get something random from 1-20, expected roll for both is 10. 5, and there is equal chance of each beating the other), so overall EV is 1/3 * 25.5 (rolling 21-30) + 1/3 * 10.5 (rolling 1-20 and winning) + 1/3 * 0 (rolling 1-20 and losing) = 12. Where is my thinking wrong?
Edit– forgot about the negative EV in the case of losing… in that case, though, now I am at 1/3 * 25.5 (rolling 21-30) + 1/3 * 10.5 (rolling 1-20 and winning) + 1/3 * -10.5 (rolling 1-20 and losing) = 8.5, not 8.15
Additional edit– I guess I probably lose a bit from the “tie goes to you” thing, but how my loss from that would equal 0.35 (in a way that one could calculate in their head) is tough… I’d have to draw a grid with all the possible pairs and tally up the results…
Edit #3– OK, yeah, now I’m getting 8.15… It took building a 20×20 grid in Excel, though, (EV of -.525, -0.525 * 2/3 = -0.35) which I don’t think Jane Street lets you do. How could this possibly have been done mentally with no calculator/computer?

Click to expand…
First of all, not quite:
in the 2/3 chance that I get something from 1-20 there is a 50% chance of a win
Click to expand…
Because remember, if you tie, you lose.
As for the symmetry, I mean in the 20 die vs 20 die game, the ev you get if you’re higher is equal to negative of the ev you get if you’re lower. The only net contribution of the 20 die vs 20 die game is negative EV you get from a tie, e.g 1/20(10.5)
Consequently EV from the entire game is 25.5*1/3-2/3*1/20*10.5 which is easily computable in your head to be 8.15
Makes sense?

I made it to the penultimate round of Jane Street and completely embarrassed myself. Shockingly, I was contacted via email saying they would like me to interview again.
What are the optimal book(s), website(s) and resource(s) that I should be focusing on for Jane Street? I really want this and am willing to put in 200+ hours of studying.

I have a phone interview with Jane Street in a few days for a trader assistant position. Not sure how much it would differ for a more quantatitve role, as the questions posted here, http://www.quantnet.com/forum/threads/jane-street-interview-questions. 3039/, are mainly riddles. If someone has something to add on top of those, that would be great since the last other thread is a little old.

Jane street asks a lot of brainteasers. Tons of it. So go through one of the interview books and learn all the brainteasers. They ask you to do mental math too. It’s a really great place.

Got asked two math questions, can’t remember the first one for the life of me but I know I answered it right. The second one was a probability ques. If you flip four quarters and get $1 for each head, what is the expected value? I said $2 because the flips are independent, easy enough. Then he asked, now assume after you flip the four quarters you can flip one of them again(if it was tails), now what is the expected value? I said, $2.50 figuring in another 50cents for the extra flip. He says no, gives the hint that would you flip again in every outcome…oooh I got his hint but got flustered and couldn’t figure it out. Looking back in retrospect now, its quite easy though I’m not sure it’s right because he said it would have to be less than $2.50. Now, you take the four states, 4H, 3H, 2H, 1H. 4H gives you $4 x 1/4 . 3H gives you $3 x 1/4 + 50cents for the extra flip. And so on till you get 11.50/4 or $2.75
Any thoughts on what I did wrong here?

It’s kind of like flipping 5 coins, except you can’t get 5 heads. 4=15/16 i.e. a little less than 1. Irrespective of which coin you chose for second time, the payoff would be (15/16) * 0.5 making a total of
2 + [ (15/16)*0.5] = $2.46874

ashwani said:
As I see, there are four coins, and the expected payoff in first round is $2 as all said. You get to flip a second time only one coin only if all four didn’t show up H in the first. And the probability of getting a chance for a second flip is 1-(1/2)^4=15/16 i. e. a little less than 1. Irrespective of which coin you chose for second time, the payoff would be (15/16) * 0.5 making a total of
2 + [ (15/16)*0.5] = $2.46874

This makes pretty good sense and I’m inclined to trust Tom’s approval since he just took the probability refresher.
Tom Maloney
#12
The order matters in terms of calculating the probability. So for instance, let’s say the problem was this: flip two fair coins, what’s the probability that you get 1 head? Well you can get HT (first coin is head, second is tail) or TH. There are four equally probable events TT, TH, HT, HH. So the probability is 2/4 = 1/2. I’d check out some of the links listed at http://www.google.com/search?q=probability+order+doesn’t+matter.

Ok thanks! My brain is still hardwired for linear algebra.

postelrich said:

So for this don’t you have to also subtract THHHH, HTHHH, HHTHH, HHHTH as well?
Click to expand…
No, you don’t. THHHH is like you have 1 tail and 3 heads in the first round, then you pick the tail and reflip it and get a head. HTHHH, HHTHH, HHHTH are similar.

ah a new way to think about that arrives to the same solution, thank Tuan.
PrancingPeach
#20
I don’t think anybody so far has taken into account all the variables in the problem. The best way to do this without drowning in complexity is to work backwards. There are three questions you must ask: (1) if you do re-flip, what is your expected gain from doing so? (2) under what circumstances should you re-flip, and how much profit do you expect to make in such a situation before re-flipping? (3) what is your expected profit in all situations where you do not decide to re-flip?
In this case, the analysis breaks down easily:
You would only re-flip a coin if you didn’t get four heads. If you do get four heads, which happens with frequency 1/16, your payoff is $4. In the case that you don’t get four heads, which happens with frequency 15/16, you expect to gain $.50 from the re-flip plus $1.50 from the other three coins. Hence your expected payoff overall using this strategy is (1/16) * $4 + (15/16) * ($1.50 + %.50) = $2.125. The hardest part of this, for me anyway, is actually doing that arithmetic in my head.

Jane Street crypto strategy.
Learn to Win Now
One of our goals is to provide institutional information for retail investors. Jane Street is such an institutional investor. For the first time, they reveal their crypto investment strategy. Time to watch, analyze and learn!
Let’s start at the beginning and see what kind of Jane Street company it is.
Contents
And Jane Street?
Jane Street Capital is a trading company and investment firm. They have about 1,700 employees and trade over $17 trillion in complex securities every day. Therefore, they are also considered as market makers.
What does Jane Street do?
As already mentioned, Jane Street invests in complex securities. You can think of ETFs as Bitcoin Future ETFs, stocks, bonds, options, commodities, digital assets, futures, and currencies. From their offices on Jane Street in London, Amsterdam, Hong Kong and New York, they trade on over 200 electronic exchanges in over 40 countries.
With this coverage, a company can trade 24/7 in every time zone. This ability and huge trading volume allows the company to act as a market maker.
Is Jane Street a hedge fund?
Technically, Jane Street is not a hedge fund as they only invest their own money, while hedge funds invest funds provided by various third parties.
Does Jane Street invest in cryptocurrencies?
Yes, we know that Jane Street is investing in cryptocurrencies and technologies based on it. Their label JCX Jane Street offers a single digital asset dealer platform to provide net settlement for the most actively traded crypto tokens as listed on their website. However, since they use proprietary models, not much is known about their investment strategy. However, Jane Street trader Thomas Um agreed to an interview with Blockworks, a podcast dedicated to cryptocurrencies, for the first time.
In the Blockworks Empire podcast hosted by Jason Janowitz, Um talks about Jane Street’s cryptocurrency investing strategy, compares crypto trading to traditional trading, and shares his take on DeFi. When it comes to providing institutional information to retail investors, it’s time to learn.
How to view Jane Street’s interview on crypto and DeFi?
Of course we will share the entire interview with Thomas Um from Jane Street. You can view it right below.
However, the entire interview is 1 hour and 17 minutes long. Therefore, the discussion is divided into chapters as follows:
00:00 Introduction
01:22 What is Jane Street
05:54 A day in the life of a market maker
12:45 Why we need efficient markets
18:19 Crypto market infrastructure and innovation
37:40 Sam Bankman-Freed days at
39:12 Jane Street’s role in crypto markets
43:38 Paraswap announcement
45:08 Jane Street’s role in DeFi
1:02:36 Creation of new financial markets
To provide additional access, we have selected some highlights.
What is market creation, according to Mr. Mind?
Discussing market creation, Um discusses how they see the role of the market maker in closing the gap between buyers and sellers, benefiting from different investment time horizons on both sides.
Comparing crypto trading to traditional investing
The mind recognizes the vast differences between traditional investing and investing in cryptocurrencies. According to him, there are three main differences:
Crypto markets are open 24/7;
Settlements are made immediately;
crypto innovations affecting traditional trading systems.
Of course, he also sees some disadvantages in this new market. For example, one of the main concerns for institutional investors is that because trading is ongoing, trading cost analysis (TCA) is difficult to do. More details about this part can be found as of 18.19.
What is Jane Street’s role in the cryptocurrency markets?
According to Mr. Um as of 12/39, he says the company has been trading since 2017. They use mostly OTC trading partners. They see themselves as a liquidity provider for OTC market makers. With JCX Jane, they offer price quotes to OTC traders. So they can access liquidity by doing business with Jane Street.
In addition, they use spot markets to trade ETFs and complex crypto finance products.
What does Jane Street think about DeFi?
As of Aug 45.08, Mr Um reports that the company is active in DeFi, but not to the extent they want it to be. So he foresees that Jane Street will be more involved in the future.
The main obstacles are:
relatively small size of this market niche;
regulatory requirements such as Know Your Customer;
Lack of due diligence in credit pools.
He sees the experimental phase of DeFi markets as a danger. Practices such as burning coins and splitting investments into different investment opportunities remind him of practices in traditional trading markets before the financial crisis. The mind fears that people will overreact to risks, resulting in losses by following the wrong market makers.
What does the company think about the new financial cryptocurrency markets?
Thinking about the future of financial markets, Mr. Mind sees that there will be a financial market based on human data and human attention. Another possibility is the monetization of fan communities around sports, athletes and artists.
Trading these new tokens may not be very attractive in and of itself to institutional investors. However, there is a market to provide liquidity to these token holders. The downside is that people monetize their reputation and/or popularity. The implications are that damage to reputation or popularity can lead to more financial damage and therefore more risk to investors.
Let’s say this article inspired you to deepen your interest in alternative cryptocurrency investment opportunities. In this case, you can get to know our bitcoin and crypto derivatives trading partner, the Huobi exchange.
Graph theory is very popular among interviewers in various industries. Here is a graph theory interview task given by Jane Street, a fintech firm.
Feel free to take a look at some of our previous Graph Theory problems and their solutions.
Problem
Suppose you are given a table of exchange rates represented as a two-dimensional array. Determine if there is an arbitrage opportunity: that is, is there some sequence of trades that you can make, starting with some amount A in any currency, so that you can end up with some amount greater than A in that currency.
There are no transaction costs and you can trade in fractional amounts.
Solution
The first question you should always ask is: “Do I see that this problem is enough to solve it?”. In almost all cases, working through the example clarifies the problem like nothing else.
Does the original problem contain examples? Do you understand them well? Not in this case! This means that you will have to come up with an example and work through it. Here is a simple example containing three currencies: A, B, and C .
It is also important to be able to interpret and read an example; and also be able to work through it. This is how we read the table above: one unit of currency A can be exchanged for 2 units of currency B. One unit of currency C can be exchanged for 0.2 units of currency A. Based on this table, it is easy to establish arbitration:
One unit A –› 2 units B
2 units B –› 2 * 3 = 6 units C
6 units C –› 6 * 0. 2 = 1.2 units A
So we can start with one unit of A, and after 2 transactions (exchanges A-B and B-C) we can get 1.2 units – an increase of 0.2 units!
As a note, remember that real currencies never show such arbitrage opportunities on standard currency exchanges. Here are the currency exchange tables between the US dollar (USD), the euro (EUR) and the Japanese yen (JPY).
Consider the first example carefully. Why does it have arbitrage and how to find it? The key observation is the representation of currency pairs as the edges of the graph with the exchange rate as the weight of the edge. So our graph will contain edge A --> B with weight 2.0 . Consider the loop A --> B --> C --> A . The weights on the edges of this cycle are (2.0, 3.0, 0.2) respectively. Thus, the product of the weights is 1.2 – greater than one. Thus,
The currency exchange table contains the possibility of arbitrage if the corresponding graph has a cycle with the “high weight property” – the product of cycle edges is greater than 1. 0.
A cycle with a large weight can be found using a simple recursive depth-first search (DFS) algorithm as follows:
Keep track of the current product of the weights of the examined edges.
Also save two different hash tables:
visited to indicate that no cycle containing this currency has the high weight property.
in_process to indicate that cycles containing this currency are under study. One of them may also have the desired high weight property!
Whenever we visit the currency in table in_process and weight is greater than 1, we find the desired cycle and therefore an arbitrage opportunity!
Here is a C++ implementation of the above DFS algorithm:
Complexity
The complexity of the standard DFS algorithm is O(E + V), where E is the number of edges and V is the number of vertices in the graph. For N currencies, V = N and E = N². Therefore, the complexity of the algorithm is O(N²).
We can also calculate the complexity by directly parsing the above code. In this code
We are inserting currency_id into array visited exactly once. (All other references to this currency_id are looked up in the array visited and returned in constant time).
Each insertion into visited does an O(N) job iterating over all other currencies.
So the total time complexity is O(N) * O(N) = O(N²).
Testing
Let’s write some tests that test zero, one, and two currencies. Let’s also check the two examples above.

Jane Fraser destroyed the men’s club of Wall Street 9 bankers0001
Citigroup CEO Jane Fraser / Julian-R. -Photography / AFP
In April 2019, seven white male executives from the seven largest US banks testified before the House Financial Services Committee. One of the parliamentarians asked: “Will we see a woman or a person with a different skin color in the successors of one of you?” Silence was the answer. The #MeToo movement was gaining momentum, so this scene was widely covered in the media. Citigroup made its first move. Its CEO, Michael Corbat, announced last September that he would be stepping down and taking over from March 2021 by bank veteran Jane Fraser, 53, the first time a woman will lead a bank from Wall Street.
Boring girl
“One of my biggest problems was that I had doubts all the time,” Fraser admitted at a meeting with Harvard Business School alumni. In particular, she was always confident that “if you are not ready for a new challenge by 120%, you should not accept it.”
Jane Fraser was born in the birthplace of golf, in Scotland, in the old town of St. Andrews with a population of less than 20,000 people. But she plays golf very badly. When in 2013 she was invited to play a game with Tiger Woods, she experienced genuine horror. I was afraid to look stupid.
Her youngest son, who was then 11 years old, helped. “Mom, no one will look at you. Everyone will look at Woods, – quotes his words the online edition of The Financial Brand. “But you can tell for the rest of your life that you played with Tiger Woods himself.” Due to a busy work schedule, she never made it to the match. But that incident helped her reconsider some of her beliefs. Now she believes that you can take on a new job and be 80% ready for it. The main thing is to hire a great team, more qualified than yourself, Fraser explained to The New York Times (NYT).
Personnel change
Fraser could have been lured to another bank. According to Bloomberg sources, she was considered last year as a potential candidate for the post of CEO of Wells Fargo and several other financial institutions. At Citigroup itself, she outperformed several contenders, including institutional account manager Paco Ibarra and chief financial officer Mark Mason. Her appointment completes a leadership change at the bank. Last year, Citigroup president Jamie Forez, who had been with the group for three decades, resigned, and earlier several regional executives left their posts.
Golf isn’t the only thing Fraser doesn’t like. In the last grades of school, she dreamed of becoming a doctor. But she soon realized that she was poorly versed in biology, but she loved mathematics and economics. This predetermined her future fate – she made a career in the financial sector. Fraser graduated from Cambridge and at the age of 20 found herself in the M&A department of the London branch of Goldman Sachs. Many years later, she complained that she “felt like a boring British girl in the office”. “There were people older than me from all over Europe who spoke several languages, and I was sure that they were much more interesting than me,” Fraser recalled in a 2016 speech for the nonprofit Americas Society.
This proved to be enough motivation for her to move from London to Madrid a couple of years later in 1990, where she worked for the consulting company Asesores Bursatiles for two more years and honed her Spanish, which she later used very well at Citigroup while working in Latin America. America.
Then there was her studies at Harvard Business School, and in 1994 the freshly minted graduate thought: does she want to return to Goldman Sachs? She liked working there, but looking at the long-serving female managers, she experienced yet another doubt, Fraser told a conference in Miami: “They dressed like men, wore terrible business suits. They were very successful. But it was hard for them, and neither was happy.”
Fraser began looking for a job that gave her more freedom and enough personal time to start a family. That company was McKinsey. According to the Financial Times, Fraser said at the interview that she was ready to work only directly with the head of the banking division. Her ambition made an impression and a job offer followed immediately.
Roller coaster
Fraser married four years after starting at McKinsey and became pregnant two years later. Not even a couple of weeks after the birth of her first child, her boss called her and congratulated her: she was made a partner in the firm. “He kept talking, and I tried to quickly end the conversation, because it was time to feed the baby,” she told the NYT. Frazier decided to take a part-time job to spend time with her baby, and two years later gave birth to her second son.
“It wasn’t easy – my ego suffered a bit when I saw people younger than me move up the corporate ladder faster than me,” she told Fortune. Sometimes it was about employees who had recently joined the company and yesterday learned from her the intricacies of the trade. Fortunately, in her environment there was a wise and authoritative person for Fraser who convinced her that in life you can achieve success in various areas. Do not worry if you cannot move quickly forward in all directions at once. In her case, at the same time build a career and raise children.
Part-time employment allowed her to find a balance between professional and personal life and feel happy, Fraser assured Fortune. There was another unexpected effect: “My clients told me that I used to be just a machine in the form of a person, but now I have become more empathetic.”
When the sons grew a little, Fraser returned to full-time work. In 2004, she moved to Citigroup, where she was Head of Account Strategy in the Investment and Corporate division. Fortune notices that she has worked in key business units of the bank and left each in better condition than she accepted. In 2007, she became Global Director of Strategy and M&A. During the financial crisis, when the bank nearly collapsed under the weight of toxic securities, she helped sell assets that provided the bank with much-needed capital gains. In 18 months, Frazier was involved in close to $1 trillion in 25 deals, from the sale of Citi’s Japanese securities arm to the disposal of Smith Barney brokerage.
In 2009, she was sent to London to lead private banking. It brought a loss of about $ 250 million a year, and after four years of operation, Fraser handed it over to a profitable successor.
In 2013, when Fraser had just returned from a business trip to Kuwait and Qatar where she was meeting with very wealthy clients, she received a call with a surprise offer from management: she was urged to return to the US and head the mortgage division of the bank. The clients were supposed to be impoverished homeowners who could lose their housing mortgaged in the bank. It was a sharp change in role, but Frazier agreed. “I took off my Chanel suit and pulled on jeans and a shirt,” she told The Financial Brand. A year later, she had to put on a suit again – Fraser led the consumer and commercial banking division in the United States and at the same time the group’s global mortgage business. In particular, she participated in negotiations to settle accusations from the US Department of Justice in issuing bad mortgage loans, as a result of which the bank agreed to pay $ 7 billion.
Spanish came in handy
Fraser’s next appointment was more like an exile. Her husband and children stayed in the US, while she traveled to Mexico in 2015 to lead Citigroup’s business in 23 countries in Latin America. “There were some pretty negative headlines in the Mexican media that a foreign woman [for the first time in history] was put in charge of this region. In Mexico, it was taken as an insult,” she explained to CNN. Her husband, a former top executive at Goldman Sachs, Bank of America and Dresdner Kleinwort, suggested a way out. Instead of competing with the macho, Frazier took advantage of the power of femininity. “My husband took me shopping, saying that we would now buy an elegant red dress, high heels higher than I usually wear, go in for a new haircut – and in this form I will go out to people.”
Citigroup Inc.
International financial group
Shareholders (data from Refinitiv): almost all shares in free float (99. 78%), the largest investors are Vanguard Group (8.08%), BlackRock (4.43%), State Street (4.26%). Capitalization – 146.9 billion Financial indicators (2020): assets – $2.3 trillion, capital – $199.4 billion, revenue – $74.3 billion, net profit – $11 bn 90,003 90,002 Latin America is the smallest of Citigroup’s regional divisions by net revenue, but it has the highest rate of return, making it somewhat of a crown jewel, Fortune notes. The hardest thing for Citigroup was in Mexico. Citi El Banco Nacional de Mexico, now known as Citibanamex, had more than 1,400 offices when Fraser joined, more than half of those open worldwide. This country accounted for 10% of the company’s revenue. And there the investigation of a major fraud was in full swing: the oilfield service company Oceanografia, having distorted its reporting, received a loan of $585 million and was unable to return $400 million of them. It was also found that the employees of the security unit carried out orders from third parties, using service capabilities for this.
In an interview with American Banker, Fraser recalled that she changed the corporate culture in Latin America to make it easier for employees to confront their bosses or report misconduct: “A lot of it was about trust. People need to trust that if they bring up an uncomfortable issue, they will be all right.”
In 2016, Citigroup announced a $1 billion investment in Mexico over four years to improve the customer experience, open new ATMs, introduce digital services, and modernize branches. By that time, Mexico remained the only country in the region in which the bank retained a retail business. The retail and credit card business in Brazil, Argentina and Colombia was sold under Fraser.
2017 brought new problems. Hurricane Maria nearly destroyed Puerto Rico. The Citigroup branch had to close: power lines were cut and the streets were flooded. Fraser personally oversaw the operation to provide the branch with generators, solar chargers for phones, septic tanks, water, and everything else. A week later, the branch was opened. “We were the only bank that worked,” she told the NYT. This has allowed clients like Shell and Walmart to resume operations in the country. In memory of those events, there is a souvenir on Fraser’s desk – a map of Puerto Rico, made from the wood of trees felled by a hurricane.
Despite all these problems and economic crises in Venezuela and Argentina, Citigroup’s revenue and net income in Latin America grew by 8% and 38%, respectively, during Fraser’s tenure.
New challenges
In October 2019, Fraser returned to the US and became president of Citigroup and CEO of the global consumer business. Colleagues and analysts had no doubts that this was the last step before becoming the CEO of the entire group. True, the then general director Korbat stated that he intended to work for another year. But after 11 months, he announced that he would leave at the end of February 2021, and Fraser would take his place.
In January of this year, she spoke to analysts for the first time at an online conference as a future CEO. Almost all of them in different ways asked her the same question: how will she reduce the gap from her competitors, Bloomberg stated.
Citigroup in its current form appeared in 1998 as a result of the merger of Citicorp, which is focused on working with individuals, and Travelers Group, a financial conglomerate, recalls The Wall Street Journal (WSJ). A universal megabank was planned to help companies manage their finances around the world, and travelers could find Citi offices in any country. But the benefits of the merger did not materialize, various businesses, not achieving synergy, continued to operate independently.
Financial crisis 2007–2008 dealt such a blow that the group is still trying to recover from it. Once its profits and revenues were almost double those of other major banks, and now, according to the NYT, the group “limps in third place” behind JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America. The current Citigroup is half of what it was in 2006.
Fraser faces two main challenges, according to the WSJ. The first is to simplify the bank’s business. Actually, Korbat has been doing this for the last 18 years, reducing the structure of the group to two main divisions – working with corporate clients and global retail banking. But Frazier still has work to do. One of the first steps was to combine the ultra-rich (over $25 million in account) and the wealthy (minimum balance of $50,000) businesses to attract customers with money earlier and retain them longer.
The second task is to calm the regulators. In October, the Fed and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) fined the group $400 million. Officials are concerned not only about the complexity of the group’s business, but also about various violations. Last year, Citigroup mistakenly transferred $893 million to Revlon creditors, even though it was ordered to transfer only $7.8 million. About half a billion of them the creditors refused to return, and the courts sided with them.
Among the group’s other sins is withholding information from customers: mortgage takers were not told that they were entitled to a lower interest rate if they had already dealt with the bank (in 2019the group paid $24 million in compensation to such customers). Or failure to comply with a rule requiring mortgaged building owners to insure property if it is in a flood prone area.
Regulators also blame the fact that Citigroup has not created a single customer base for all its businesses. Meanwhile, this is clearly in the interests of the group itself – the database will help to work more efficiently with clients, writes Bloomberg.
Fraser is now a due diligence officer for the group and has formed a new global operations team from the bank’s top management to improve manageability. Fraser does not exclude that Citigroup may sell some of the businesses that do not correspond to the new strategic vision. Sources for the WSJ say that the group may abandon retail business in some Asian countries, such as South Korea and Vietnam.
At the same time, Fraser intends to grow her retail business in the US, including by copying Citigroup’s successful programs in Mexico, India and China. For example, a system for transferring funds using QR codes, adds NYT. “I will do everything in my power to make everyone proud of our company as we continue to build a better bank,” she said in a group press release. How she does it, Frazier explained in an interview with the WSJ: “I’m not looking for what’s wrong with Citi, I’m looking for what works well.”
Tough question: how to pass a stressful interview
What to do if during an interview a recruiter or future boss is aggressive, unfriendly or arrogant
. Forms of expression can be different: arrogance, coldness, suspicion, icy indifference. Unfortunately, many recruiters and employers sincerely believe that their position in the dialogue is “strong” and the candidate is “weak” and dependent. Applicants are often treated as infringed applicants: they are forced to wait a long time for a meeting with superiors or fill out paper questionnaires that duplicate information in a resume. Often this is done in order to “show a person his place”, to check the reaction, to assess the readiness for submission.
But an interview is a conversation between adults who respect each other, not an interrogation. There is an ethic for conducting interviews: a friendly atmosphere, polite and correct communication, questions within professional topics, timing. Stress interviews can be considered a rare exception, but their percentage in the general flow of interviews is extremely small. Much more often, behind the wording “we will conduct a stress interview”, the motive “we got a legal reason to mock the weak” is hidden.
The reasons for the unfriendly behavior of your interlocutor, recruiter or future leader may be different. If you feel aggression, hostility or prejudice on the part of the interlocutor, firstly, do not take it personally and, secondly, try to classify the motive. Let’s take a look at three of the most common.
Pragmatic
Your counterpart is afraid of competition or independent expertise. This type is more common among hiring middle managers. The boss’s motive is simple: he values his work, cherishes the place and tries to keep it as long as possible, therefore he hires only mediocre, weak people who do not pose a threat to his career. Firstly, against the background of dullness, it is easier to shine yourself, and secondly, he seeks to minimize the risks posed by strong candidates. One meticulous financial analyst can create serious problems for the entire economic planning department, and an experienced IT specialist can question the effectiveness of the security service. Too many executives quite deliberately reject strong candidates in an attempt to secure their careers in this way.
Recommendation: If you find yourself under artillery fire from a fiercely defensive careerist pragmatist at an interview, your only chance of getting a job under such a leader is to pretend. You can choose any role at your discretion: “harmless and accommodating employee”, “intelligent fellow, but without ambition”, “devoted, but obtuse vassal of the master.” In this case, a lot depends on your value system and current life situation. If you are ready to play this role for the sake of far-reaching goals or survival, then you can try your luck. But if you understand that you will break loose in the first week, do not torture yourself or others.
Psychological
A person is unconsciously in the grip of childhood and adolescent grievances and traumas: teased at school, beaten in the yard, bullied and not recognized as an equal at the institute. Under the influence of these factors, he grew embittered, with hidden inner pain. Now, having received power, even a small one, a person is trying to compensate for the deaf resentment that lives in him. During the interview, he feels like the arbiter of human destinies and he likes to ask tough and even cruel questions, behave from a position of strength, dictate terms, “punish and pardon”. This moment of power fills him with energy and elevates him in his own eyes. This phenomenon, unfortunately, is common among recruiters and aspiring executives. They schedule a lot of interviews, conduct lengthy selections and tests, and sometimes open vacancies, not at all wanting to hire an employee, they just love the process.
Recommendation: Much depends on where this person occupies in the recruiting funnel. If this is a recruiter, HR specialist or personnel consultant, then such a “psychological vampire” can be tolerated, given the opportunity to satisfy his ego, perhaps even play along for the sake of a positive assessment. This can be considered a fee for passing to the next level of selection. It may well turn out that the immediate supervisor will be of a completely different format and it will be interesting and comfortable to work with him. But if the arrogant and picky interviewer is your future boss, and you do not plan to become his personal psychotherapist, then do not waste time on lengthy negotiations and test trials, look for other career opportunities.
Situational
The reason for the unfriendly behavior of one of the interview participants, recruiter or manager may be related to specific events: conflict with colleagues, difficulties in the family, headache. Everyone has bad days when they want to find a victim to let off steam. Unfortunately, sometimes an unsuccessfully appointed applicant who is simply unlucky falls under the arm. When the tension subsides and the internal balance is restored, the broken recruiter or manager usually feels guilty and tries to somehow compensate for the not-so-positive interview: calls the candidate back and smoothes the corners in a personal conversation, or gives a more balanced, calm assessment of the candidate in writing, or schedules a second interview .
Recommendation: If your interlocutor during the interview is impulsive, jumps from topic to topic, his speech is intermittent, he whispers, then shouts, and his facial expressions, gestures, postures and plasticity speak of psychological discomfort, this person may be susceptible to emotional swings. Maybe at the next meeting he will turn out to be quite peaceful and sociable, and then it turns out that he is a pro and he has a lot to learn. But his emotionality, of course, will always be reflected in his work. You will have to constantly listen to his mood and take this into account in solving daily issues. If this is not an insurmountable obstacle for you, try to “tune in to his wave”, soften sharp corners, defuse a tense situation with a joke, and captivate your interlocutor with an interesting story. Try to “reprogram the situation” and give him a second chance.
Whatever the reasons, hostility and aggression during the interview is a difficult test for the applicant. Such behavior is not normal and cannot be justified in any way. You do not have to tolerate bad manners, tactlessness and rudeness and can act as you see fit. Your choice can be anything: finish the interview 10 minutes after it began on your own initiative; accept everything that happens humbly and surrender to the will of the judges; take it as a game, turn on and fight for the win, blocking the negative with your calmness, energy and charm. Your choice can be anything, but let it be conscious.

You are greeted on every track with Jane’s untouchable, smoky, powerful vocals that pierce your heart with their charming fortitude. Witness Jane’s flawless transformation on this cinematic rollercoaster of emotions – please hang on, enjoy the ride and don’t try to get out until the very end. .. it’s for your own good.
Lucky: Everyone was excited about your long awaited solo career and album. After 9 years with The Herd and collaborations with other artists, why now? What was the moment of spark for you?
Jane: Yes, I joined in 2005… to be honest, I thought that was the right time. I’m juggling two careers, so I’ve been incredibly busy on a purely practical level. I studied for 6 years while touring and writing albums with The Herd, Urtboy, Kites and a guest on a million records. So there wasn’t really a moment before 2012 where I had this ray of sunshine and this piece of space and I just thought I’d just do it.
I started singing professionally when I was about 18 and didn’t go “Okay, my goal is to release an album next year.” I have never approached music in this way. I guess I was just waiting for this right feeling and it’s good to do it now because I’ve met all these crazy musicians and collaborated and worked with all these great people and now I have this amazing team of people out there willing to help and get involved. 18-year-old Jane would be chasing the corner, stomping around and begging for someone to help record her material.
Happy: How do you find the lonely life?
Jane: I guess it’s the early days. It’s a kind of empowerment. It’s nice to stand up for what you’ve fought for and invested all your money and time in. I’m really proud of it. Yes, it’s really inspiring, it’s great!
Happy: So, tell me about the process of making the album.
Jane: So I decided I would co-produce it because I had that sound and that look. I just had a complete vision, but I wasn’t sure exactly how it would sound. I thought I would just bring in a whole bunch of collaborators that I enjoyed writing with or I loved their music and had never written with them before. So I just started reaching out to them. I’ll start with my favorite Australian band. PVT (pronounced Pivot), they are amazing, they just drive me crazy. I have worked with them in various forms over the years.
The drummer (Lawrence) from this band is kind of my muse. I watch him play and listen to him play and it just inspires me haha to be honest. So I reached out to him and said, Hey, I don’t know if you’ve produced an album before, if you want to co-write or how you want to succeed, but I’d really like to write some songs with you.” and he was really interested and we just started. It was so organic and natural.
Then his brother, Richard, joined us and he’s really great. He’s a multi-instrumentalist, so the three of us came up with some ideas and sketches. We sketched songs together while they were writing their album, and then they were very busy. So I thought the next step would be to find an engineer to develop these sketches and maybe someone with whom I could write some more songs. I moved to Melbourne and got in touch with someone who was recommended to me, Dustin McLean – he did things with the Diafrix axolotl. So we basically structured the demos that I did with the Pikes (PVT brothers) and perfected them, and I wrote a couple of tracks with Dustin. Basically my goal was to keep writing demos until I had 25 or so that worked well together.
I was touring with Paul Kelly and J. Walker during that period and I chatted with them about doing something for the album. I came across one of Paul’s songs, The Stolen Apple , it’s a really beautiful song that he wrote in 2007 and I suggested to cover it instead of starting from scratch… so the album did the cover. J. Walker (Eng. Machine translation) wrote the song Among the Bells on the album. So then there was only one left and that was Pip Norman (aka Countdown) and he did a lot with Urthboy over the years and he also has a project called 5k..
We got together and I thought he would be the last guy I would write with because we had so many demos and he was so cool that he ended up being the third co-producer. So Dustin and I and Peep and I put together what we had, chose the best, and Peep and I wrote some tracks together, and here it is, the totality of the collaboration, and we are like: “Okay, I think we got it, let’s meet the deadline”, then we just hit it after 6 months.
Lucky: What was the vision you had at the very beginning?
Jane: I could see it, which doesn’t seem so strange to me because of my different career in design and fine art. I could imagine what it would look like and to me it was a 20-50s black and white film noir that basically turned into vignettes, so like little mini movie soundtracks for those little mini movies , that was my idea.
Lucky: Yes, I understand what you were trying to do, because each track is a different little gem and a different story… you have executed your vision very well!
Jane: Oh thank you! I also like to sing in different ways. It really annoys me when people are like this: — So what kind of singer are you? As an artist it seems so limiting to you – I love to sing opera, jazz, soul, blues, I’m ready for anything. I wanted to try to show it on the album, be a different character for every song and play different instruments. I hope they all work together – I just wanted to show this dynamic approach.
Lucky: What are the inspirations for the album?
Jane: I guess thematically my inspiration was my life, that is, what happened to me, poems or sketches of works that I created over the years. Also the Agatha Christie TV series Poirot is kind of a nerdy show for old people but amazing at the same time haha. I was also into Game of Thrones and just watched the movies and imagined how I could create a song that didn’t break the visuals and also enhance the visuals – I think the goal is for them to be evocative. I listened to a lot of my favorites like Goldfrapp, Ray Leaver, Licky Lee, Paul Kelly and a bunch of stuff that got me into music like Massed Punch, Gorillaz, Radiohead and Sly – a bunch of those Bristol tunes. These are things from which juices flow.
Lucky: What is the history of the opening of track Wild Waters ?
Jane: I think Wild Waters is probably my favorite vocal performance because I kind of stumbled upon something I’ve never mastered before and it was a really honest and sincere song. It’s a beautiful story, it’s a love song. It was a special recording and a special writing session and it was the last song written for the album so I’m really proud of it.
It’s about how sometimes you feel like you’re just being thrown into a rough sea scenario, and sometimes it’s a person, object, or experience that suddenly makes the water calm, almost instantly.
Happy: What do you want people to take away from the album?
Jane: I think I’d like them to listen to it a couple of times and try to absorb and enjoy the multifaceted beast that it is. I never set goals for myself… I guess as a solo artist you hope to sing and somehow summarize something that someone feels and get some relief or pleasure from it.
Happy: So what are you listening to these days?
Jane: I listened a lot to Alex Cameron who is this amazing artist from Sydney and he has this artistic flair when he gets into character to perform. I was totally obsessed with Big Scary and #1 Dad for a while, like I literally know every note, every lyric and every moment on their album.
Lucky: What is your mantra?
Jane: I live by the fact that if you are constantly curious, you will always challenge yourself and hit targets. If you’re not curious or challenged, then shake things up and do something completely different. This worked for me anyway.
Happy: One last question: what makes you happy, Jane?
Jane: I love food. Happiness and health, wellness and health, delicious food, cycling, family and friends.

Photographer: Jane Dickson
Times Square in the 70s and 80s was not the spotlessly clean version we know today, and we can thank people like photographer Jane Dickson, for documenting what we knew about that era. At that time, Times Square was known as a troubled place in the center of New York – a backwater where drugs are distributed and a lot of crime is developed. The cinemas showed pornography, and the streets were dominated by pimps and prostitutes – it was a Mecca for indulgence and perversion.

photographer: Jane Dickson
In the midst of crazy nights and sad mornings, ordinary people just lived their lives. At that time, Jane went out late at night with her camera and recorded the stories and dramas that unfolded in front of her. The work she produced eventually became Jane Dixon in Times Square, and we thought it was the perfect time to talk to her about her life in New York’s darker times.
Photographer: Jane Dickson
Most people stay at home at night if they live in an area with difficult problems, what prompted you to go with a camera and take photos?
Jane Dixon: I came to New York to be in the spotlight, to be out and about and see people and events. I worked alone on the weekend night shift at the Digital Lightboard at 1 Times Square, so I still had to be in the area. Acquaintance made me brave enough, but not stupid. If I was going to sit at home, I would stay in the country.
At least three times I was caught in the crossfire, once in the street, twice through my windows.
photographer: Jane Dickson
Street/documentary photographers usually become well-known figures in their communities. Did you build any kind of close relationship with your subjects?
Jane Dixon: Times Square is one of the most volatile areas in the world. I knew people in my house and some on the street. So was Benjamin, the shoe shine at 42 and 8, who I’m pretty sure was an undercover cop. But mostly it was a huge sea of new faces every day.
“Safety is a concern for young women everywhere every day, but Times Square multiplied the dangers.”
Photographer: Jane Dickson
Did you have a security problem during the shoot?
Jane Dixon: Safety is the biggest concern for young women everywhere every day, but Times Square has multiplied the dangers. One day a drunken man ordered me to drop my pants in the street. A madman threatened me with a knife on the subway. In my lobby, I was attacked by a gang that turned out to be undercover cops. At least three times I got caught in the crossfire; once on the street, two bullets pierced my windows. Our attic was robbed several times … I lived in constant anxiety.
“My work is written from the point of view of a woman, I shift my gaze to the macho universe, which is rare and looks fresh.”
Photographer: Jane Dickson
Although Times Square has been “cleansed” so to speak, don’t you feel like a part of you has lost some of its character when compared to when you photographed it?
Jane Dixon: This street-neighborhood has gone from a decaying organic wild west where everything is free for everyone to a corporately planned, subsidized, cleaned up and homogenized tourist zone. Times Square has always been a hustle and bustle, but now it’s the hustle and bustle of the same metropolitan areas you see in any big city around the world. Tui are safer now, but all the lights don’t make up for the prepackaged versatility of everything out there.
My work is written from a woman’s point of view, I take a look at the macho universe, and it’s rare and fresh.
Photographer: Jane Dickson
You are an artist, painter, photographer – while raising two children – how did you manage to find the creative balance to be productive?
Jane Dixon: that’s a big question. I have always been into art. It is a compulsive activity that gives me a reason to live. When I had children, I had to use my time more efficiently, although I taught and did many volunteer projects.
Encouraging you to blow your own trumpet, why do you think this series of works is so attractive to the public?
Jane Dixon: The 1970s and early 80s New York period was a dirty blank slate. The government, federal, state and city governments have abandoned the city. Anyone who thought otherwise moved out. The city was bankrupt, there were few cops, the old rules gave way to the protests of the 1960s, and no one knew what was coming next, so we could do anything and we did it.
Photographer: Jane Dickson
“Today, Times Square has gone from a decaying organic wild west, free for everyone, to a corporately planned, subsidized, cleaned up and homogenized tourist area.”
Nothing has been so corporatized and monetized as it is today. My friends opened art galleries, clubs, magazines, book publishers, movie theaters, fashion lines without a business plan. Most of them failed, but everything was so cheap it didn’t matter, and some still exist. Real estate was affordable, education, health insurance were also cheap. People didn’t squeeze every last cent out of you, so we had time to think, to play, to protest, to work on things besides covering the rent.
photographer: Jane Dickson
My work is written from a woman’s point of view, I take a look at the macho universe, and it was very refreshing. Besides, I never planned to show these photos. I took pictures for myself to paint, so a lot of the pictures are very unconscious. I’m not trying to impress you so as not to disturb you. I am a transparent window to this world.
photographer: Jane Dickson
As for candid photography, what is your motivation today? Do you still shoot that much?
Jane Dixon: I still take pictures with my phone all the time. The problem is that it’s so easy that I’m drowning in photos that need to be sorted and saved.
Of all your varied work, what was it about the Times Square series that made you feel like writing a book was the right thing to do?
Jane Dixon: I document my present from my point of view as I experience it. I focus on the intersection of commerce, desire, and demonstrating an understanding of the American psyche in Times Square, Vegas, Demolition Derbies, and malls. I was in Times Square at a historically defining moment.

My daughter has been at KRK off of Bitters and Huebner for over a year now. We love it there! They are a second home away from home for my daughter Lily. She has thrived so much! We moved to Boerne and was relocated at work but we could not bring ourselves to move schools! Its great to know I can be at work knowing my daughter is happy and well taken care of. The curriculum is great, I love the facility and they do a great job communicating whats going on around the school. Great job KRK Bitters! – Lacey

I have had my 16 month old child at the bitters road location since she was 6 weeks old. My daughter goes home and speaks to me in english, spanish and especially at feeding time she is surprisingly fluent in sign language. I am more than happy with the love and care my child has recieved so far. The teachers go the extra mile, the front staff makes me feel welcome every time I walk thru the door. I wouldn’t consider moving childcare centers; Kids R Kids has changed my daughters life!

“We had an excellent experience at La Petite Academy, our daughter loved it and she even missed it during weekends. Our daughter learned a lot and she improved her speech. We never had any issues.”
“Went on a lengthy tour of this place because we were considering it for my daughter. It is very close to us so it would have been very convenient but I just could not send her here. The building is run down and smelly. The classrooms are confining and when we walked into the room that she would have been in there was one teacher and kids running everywhere. Chaos. Not controlled chaos, just chaos. I was actually worried for these kids seeing that no one was watching these 2 and 3 year olds. The playground is splinter heaven because it is old and run down as well. I think this place *could* be a good place if it went through a renovation. We ended up sending our kids to The Pineapple School which was a huge upgrade from this place. With all the abuse and death’s taking place in day cares and schools parents must be extra picky where they send their kids. I’m not usually one to give such negative reviews, but this place was just this bad.”
“Being a parent is hard. Being a single parent is even harder. When they say it takes a village they weren’t lying. And this daycare is my village. The women here have all become such a huge part of our lives. I’ve had my son enrolled her since he was 6 months old. He’s currently 4, and it’s going to be hard to leave when he starts real school. They are very hands on and caring about each child. They cater to the children’s need and work very well with the parents to see what needs to be done if there are areas where extra help might be needed. So glad they’ve been their to help my little man grow!”
“I am so happy we chose La Petite Academy because our two year old daughter is having a wonderful experience, and the teachers are very nurturing, knowledgeable, and caring.
The staff at our West Bitters Road location are very organized and provide structure as well. The program director is professional and has a positive rapport with the parents and children, always takes time to see if the children and parents need assistance, and she worked with me to set up the best schedule to meet my child’s needs.
The curriculum at La Petite also complements and reinforces all of the educational activities we are doing at home, so my daughter is expanding her vocabulary and social skills quickly, and she comes home happy every day.
We couldn’t ask for a safer and happier environment for our child. We give the Academy at West Bitters all five stars!”
“La Petite has provided a phenomenal experience for both of my daughters. From 8 weeks through school age, both of my girls came here and the oldest still wishes she could go back even though she is in 1st grade. My youngest takes advantage of the Flex Care program and still attends once a week since she is not in school full time. She also wishes she could be there more than anywhere else. It is so great to have a nurturing environment where the children are treated as children, not students. But, they still learn fascinating things they can’t wait to share each day. The entire staff is friendly and full of energy from open to close and the facility stays clean, which baffles me since I only have two girls and I cannot say the same for my home. I recommend La Petite at Bitters to anyone who needs child care.”

The palatability of oral medications, many of which are quite bitter, plays an important role in achieving compliance in pediatric patients. We tested the hypothesis that the addition of a sodium salt to some, but not all, bitter tasting liquids enhances acceptance and reduces the perceived bitterness in 7- to 10-year-old children and their mothers. For both children and adults, sodium gluconate significantly suppressed the perceived bitterness and enhanced the acceptance of urea and caffeine whereas the reverse was true for another bitter stimulus, Tetralone. Because children preferred salted solutions more than did adults, these data suggest that the use of sodium salts may be an especially effective strategy for reducing the bitterness of some medicines and facilitating compliance among pediatric populations. However, based on sodium’s differential ability to inhibit bitterness, as has been shown here with children and adults, clearly each drug of interest must be evaluated separately.
Children and adults are subject to many of the same ailments and diseases and, by necessity, are often treated with the same drugs. However, only a small fraction of these drugs have been adequately tested in pediatric populations and consequently lack proper labeling for safety and efficacy (Committee on Drugs, American Academy of Pediatrics, 1995; Wilson, 1999). In concert with legislation that provides financial and marketing incentives for conducting pediatric studies, the Food and Drug Administration (1998) issued regulations entitled The 1998 Final Pediatric Rule requiring that applications from pharmaceutical companies for new drugs and biological products contain data to support pediatric use.
But industry and researchers have a problem. The problem lies in the fact that many medicines are quite bitter—a taste that is clearly aversive to infants (Kajuira, Cowart, & Beauchamp, 1992; Rosenstein & Oster, 1988; Steiner, 1977) and children (Berning, Griffith, & Wild, 1982; Lawless, 1985; Ramgoolam & Steele, 2002; Silbert & Frude, 1991). Indeed, it can be argued that if bitter taste sensitivity evolved, in part, to protect the organism from poisoning (Glendinning, 1994) and that most medicines are toxic substances, medicines, by their very nature, should be bitter and distasteful. In fact, bitter compounds are effective agents in deterring pediatric poisonings when used in conjunction with other preventive measures such as child-resistant closures (Rogers, 1994). Common methods of blocking distasteful bitter tastes with encapsulation can be ineffective for children since they often cannot or will not swallow pills or tablets (Steffensen, Pachaï, & Pedersen, 1998). Adding sugars may increase the palatability of some liquid medications, but chronic use of such medicine is problematic because of its association with excessive dental disease (Manley, Calnan, & Sheiham, 1994; Pawar & Kumar, 2002). Moreover, the medical and dental communities have issued calls for the use of noncariogenic substitutes in children’s liquid medicines (Manley et al., 1994).
An alternative method in suppressing the bitterness of oral medications may lie in the bitter suppressing ability of common sodium salts. In adults, sodium salts are effective in reducing the bitterness of some bittercompounds, including that of common drugs, presumably by acting at a peripheral taste level and not by cognitive effects (Bartoshuk, 1980; Breslin & Beauchamp, 1995, 1997; Keast & Breslin, 2002; Keast, Breslin, & Beauchamp, 2001; Kroeze & Bartoshuk, 1985). Whether similar mechanisms are operative in young children remains unknown. To this end, we developed methodologies that were sensitive to the cognitive limitations of pediatric populations since the methods that were used to assess bitter suppression in adults (magnitude estimation) are clearly not suitable for research on young children. Based on previous research on adults (Breslin & Beauchamp, 1995), we then examined the preferences and behavioral responses of 7- to 10-year-old children for a range of bitter compounds alone or in combination with a sodium salt. We chose bitter stimuli that were either suppressed, but to varying degrees (e.g., urea: 76% suppression, caffeine: 55% suppression) or enhanced (Tetralone; iso-alpha acids found most commonly in beer) by the addition of sodium salts (Breslin & Beauchamp, 1995; Yokomukai, Breslin, Cowart, & Beauchamp, 1994). The children’s mothers also were tested in tandem to obtain an estimate on how effective these new methods for children were in assessing the ability of salts to modify bitter taste in adults.
Subjects
Mothers were recruited from advertisements in local newspapers. During the telephone interview, the mother was asked whether she and her child or, in some cases, children, would like to participate in a “taste study.” The mothers (47.7% Caucasian, 38.6% African American, 4.6% Hispanic, 6.8% Asian, and 2.3% Other Ethnic Group; n=39) were, on average, 37.8 (±0.9) years and their children (26 girls, 15 boys) ranged in age from 7 to 10 years (8.8±0.2). All mothers reported that they and their children were healthy at the time of testing and were not taking any medications. Seven additional mother-children pairs began testing, but were excluded because the child could not understand the task (n=1) or did not comply with study procedures (n=6). The procedures used in this study were approved by the Office of Regulatory Affairs at the University of Pennsylvania. Informed consent was obtained from each mother, and assent was obtained from each child, prior to testing.
Stimuli
The bitter agents studied were 0.5 M urea (Sigma Chemical Company, St. Louis, MO), 0.08 M caffeine (Sigma) and 1.37×10−4 M Tetralone, iso-alpha acids found most commonly in beer (Kalsec, Kalamazoo, MI). The salt solution, 0.3 M sodium gluconate (Sigma), was chosen because previous research in adults revealed that it was highly effective at suppressing the bitterness of urea and caffeine and tasted less salty than sodium chloride (Breslin & Beauchamp, 1995). As shown in , the bitter and salt solutions consisted of a combination of the particular bitter agent (i.e., urea, caffeine, Tetralone) and sodium gluconate whereas the water solution used to prepare the solutions and as a rinsing solution was double-distilled, deionized (di) Millipore filtered water, hereafter referred to as water. Solutions were stored in amber glass bottles and replaced at least every 2 weeks.

Procedures
Children and their mothers were tested at the Monell Center in closed rooms specifically designed for sensory testing with a high air-turnover ventilation system. The mother and her child were tested individually in separate rooms using identical procedures. To ensure that subjects understood the concept of bitterness, subjects were presented with three reference solutions that were identified as sweet (0.3 M sucrose), salty (0.3 M sodium gluconate), and bitter (0.5 M urea). Then they were given a training session in which they received pairs of samples that differed in their sweetness and bitterness. Subjects were asked to focus only on the bitter taste and point to which of the pair tasted more bitter, rinsing their mouths with water two times after tasting each sample and four times between each pair. The pairs of solutions presented during the training session included: 1.0 M urea versus 0.5 M urea; 1.0 M urea versus 0.5 M urea + 0.3 M sucrose; 1.0 M urea + 0.3 M sucrose versus water; and 1.0 M urea + 0.3 M sucrose versus 0.5 M urea 0.3 M sucrose. In some cases, therefore, the more bitter solution also was sweet whereas in others it was not. Thus, the subject learned that in some cases the more bitter solution may be a complex mixture whereas in other cases it was not.
An age-appropriate, game-like task that was fun for children and minimized the impact of language development was used. Using a forced-choice procedure, each subject was presented with all possible pairs of the four solutions (e.g., 0.5 M urea, 0.3 M sodium gluconate, 0.5 M urea 0.3 M sodium gluconate, and water), one pair at a time, and was asked to indicate which of the pair tasted more bitter during one test session and which tasted better during another. After all pairs had been presented, subjects then were presented with the urea versus urea with sodium gluconate pairing to ensure that there were no learning biases in our experimental design. An aliquot of 2 ml of each solution was presented in a 30-ml polyethylene medicine cup (Delaware Valley Surgical Supply; Boothwyn, PA). At the end of the session, subjects were again presented with each of the four solutions and asked to rank them from most to least preferred. The order of presentation of the solutions was randomized within and between each pair of samples and between subjects. Subjects rinsed and expectorated with water two times after tasting each sample and four times between each pair. A 45-s interval separated each pair of solutions, and a 5-min interval separated the three test sessions. During these intervals, children were offered a sip cup containing water and a small, unsalted cracker to cleanse their palate.
Of the children and mothers tested, 21 pairs returned for 2 additional days of testing. In counterbalanced order, approximately half (n=10) of the children and their mothers were tested with the caffeine on the second and Tetralone on the third test day; the order was reversed for the remaining motherchild dyads. Eight additional mother-child pairs were tested for one additional testing; six of these pairs were tested with caffeine and two with Tetralone. The procedures and the sodium salt used were identical to that described earlier for urea, and the bitter agent used in the training session was identical to that used during that particular day of testing. Mothers also completed a variety of questionnaires, and were asked to indicate what type of formulation (e.g., liquids, pills, chewable) of medicine they give their child and whether the child had ever successfully swallowed medicine in pill form. Each child also indicated whether they ever tried sports drinks, such as Gatorade™ and Powerade™, and if so, whether they liked such salty drinks.
Statistical Analyses
Forced-Choice Pairwise Comparisons
The null hypothesis tested was that the addition of sodium gluconate to each of the three bitter stimuli did not alter its perceived bitterness or pleasantness. Because there were no significant differences in the children’s and mothers’ first and second comparisons of bitter versus bitter+salt ( ps>0.18) for each of the three bitters (urea, caffeine, Tetralone) and for both types of comparison (“What tastes more bitter?” “What tastes better?”), data for these two comparisons were averaged.
The data for each of the three bitter stimuli were expressed as the proportion of children or mothers who chose one member of the pair as tasting either more bitter or better. Specifically, we determined the proportion of subjects who chose the bitter solution when compared to the bitter combined with sodium gluconate, sodium gluconate, or water solutions as well as the proportion of subjects who chose the bitter combined with sodium gluconate when compared to sodium gluconate or water solutions. Binomial distribution tests were then conducted to determine whether children’s and mothers’ performance for each of the pairs was above chance (i.e., the proportions were above the upper limit of the 95% confidence interval for 50% responses for a given member of the pair; see Siegel & Castellan, 1988).
Preference Ranking
The null hypothesis was that there were no systematic differences in children’s or mothers’ preference ranking between the four different solutions (bitter, bitter combine with sodium gluconate, sodium gluconate, water) for each of the three bitter compounds tested. To test this, each of the four solutions was ranked according to subject’s preferences (1=most preferred; 4=least preferred). Data obtained from mothers were analyzed separately from children. Separate Friedman two-way nonparametric analyses were conducted on these preference ranking scores, one for each of the three bitter stimuli. When significant, multiple comparisons were performed to determine which differences among the solutions were significant (Siegel & Castellan, 1988). All summary statistics are expressed as means±SEM, and levels of significance were p<.05.
Overview
Sodium gluconate (a salt) suppressed the bitterness and enhanced the acceptance of urea and, to a lesser extent, caffeine, in both children and adults (). In striking contrast, this same sodium salt enhanced the bitterness in children and decreased the liking of Tetralone in both children and adults. These data suggest that not only did the children understand the task but their responses were guided by the intensity of the bitter perception, not the complexity of the mixture. Specific results for each bitter compound and each pairing are summarized in and the preference ranking data are presented in . The present study also revealed that children prefer salt more than adults do.

Note. Values are expressed as %, unless otherwise indicated (n). Children and mothers who indicated when the bitter solution, bitter solution combined with sodium gluconate, or sodium gluconate tasted “more bitter” or “better” when compared to each other, salt, or water. Bitter solutions were 0.5 M urea, 0.08 M caffeine, and 1.37 × 10−4 M Tetralone. The salt solution was 0.3 M sodium gluconate. The percentage refers to number of subjects that chose the solution that is underlined when compared to non-underlined solution of the pair.
*p<.05.
Urea
Bitterness
As shown in , the majority of children and their mothers reported that urea seemed to taste more bitter when compared with either water (children: 85%; mothers: 87%) or the sodium gluconate solution (children: 61%; mothers: 77%), although the latter did not reach statistical significance in children (p=.08). The majority of mothers (73%) and children (66%) indicated that the solution combining urea with sodium gluconate tasted less bitter than the solution containing the same concentration of urea without the salt (ps<. 05). This sodium salt suppressed the perceived bitterness of urea; both children and mothers responded at chance levels (children: 41%, mothers: 59%; p<.10) when asked to indicate whether the urea solution containing sodium gluconate tasted more bitter than sodium gluconate alone. However, bitter suppression was not complete since 71% of the children and 72% of the mothers chose urea and salt solution as tasting more bitter than water. That sodium gluconate contributes to the bitterness of the urea plus salt solution is suggested by the finding that 69% of the mothers indicated that the sodium gluconate tasted significantly more bitter than water.
Relative Preference
The addition of sodium gluconate to the urea solution increased its acceptance in children and adults since both groups chose the urea solution containing sodium gluconate as tasting better than the urea solution alone. As can be observed in , 70% of the children and 82% of the mothers indicated that urea combined with the salt tasted better than urea alone. Moreover, children and mothers responded at chance levels when presented with sodium gluconate and the urea combined with sodium-gluconate solutions. The significant differences in the preference-ranking scores of the four solutions by children, Fr(3 df)=55.65, p<.0001, and mothers, Fr (3 df)=70.29, p<.0001, further supports data obtained from the pairwise comparisons. As shown in , urea was the least preferred solution for children, and its ranking was significantly higher (less preferred) than urea combined with sodium gluconate, sodium gluconate alone, or water; these latter three solutions were equally preferred by children. Mothers also ranked urea as least preferred, and it was less preferred than urea combined with sodium gluconate and water, but not sodium gluconate.
Caffeine
Bitterness
As shown in , both mothers and children selected caffeine and caffeine combined with sodium gluconate as tasting more bitter than either water or the sodium-gluconate solution, although the latter was a trend in children (p=. 06). Sodium gluconate significantly suppressed the bitterness of caffeine in 77% of the adult subjects; there was similar tendency in children (68%; p=.06). In comparison with urea, the bitterness of caffeine was not as well suppressed by the addition of sodium gluconate since both children (67%; p=.06) and adults (73%) chose the caffeine and salt mixture as tasting more bitter than salt alone. This is consistent with previous studies on adults (Breslin & Beauchamp, 1995).
Relative Preference
Sodium gluconate significantly increased the acceptance of caffeine in children, and there was a tendency for this to occur in mothers (p=.06). For the vast majority of children and mothers, water tasted better than caffeine and caffeine combined with sodium gluconate (see ). In addition, there were significant differences in the preference-ranking scores of the four solutions in children, Fr(3 df)=39.09, p<.0001, and mothers, Fr(3 df)=51. 27, p<.0001. As can be observed in , caffeine and caffeine combined with sodium gluconate were the least preferred solutions of children and mothers (i.e., there were no significant differences between the ranking scores of these two solutions). Although water and sodium gluconate were equally preferred by children (ranking of water: 1.4±0.1; ranking of sodium gluconate: 2.1±0.2; n.s.), mothers significantly preferred water to the other three solutions. In addition, mothers preferred the sodium-gluconate solution when compared with caffeine, but not when compared with caffeine combined with sodium gluconate.
Tetralone
Bitterness
Mothers and children indicated that the Tetralone combined with sodium gluconate, as well as the same concentration of Tetralone alone, tasted more bitter than either sodium gluconate or water. However, unlike the data reported herein for urea and caffeine, the combination of Tetralone and sodium gluconate yielded enhanced bitterness in children. As presented in , 72% of the children selected Tetralone combined with the salt as more bitter than Tetralone alone.
Relative Preference
In contrast with the other two bitter agents (urea and caffeine), sodium gluconate diminished the acceptance of Tetralone in both children and mothers. Seventy-seven percent of the children and 72% of the mothers indicated that Tetralone tasted better than the same concentration of Tetralone combined with sodium gluconate. They also indicated that sodium gluconate and water tasted better than Tetralone alone or in combination with sodium gluconate ().
The preference-ranking scores of the four solutions were statistically significant for both children, Fr(3 df)=36.13, p<.0001, and mothers, Fr(3 df)=45.10, p<.0001. Tetralone alone and Tetralone combined with sodium gluconate were the least preferred solutions in both children and mothers (i.e., there were no significant differences between the ranking scores of these two solutions). Nevertheless, unlike that reported earlier for urea and caffeine, Tetralone was ranked intermediary between the solution of the bitter combined with sodium gluconate and sodium gluconate alone ().
Sodium Gluconate
Relative Preference
When analyzing the data obtained from the pairwise comparisons as well as the rankedpreference scores, differences emerged between children and mothers when they were asked to choose whether the solution of sodium gluconate tasted better than water. During each of the three sessions (i.e., urea, caffeine, Tetralone), mothers consistently indicated that water tasted better than sodium gluconate (see ), and as shown in , their preference-ranking score for water (1.2±0.1) was significantly lower (e.g., more preferred) than sodium gluconate for each of the three test sessions (2.9±0.1 for urea session, 2.3±0.2 for caffeine session, and 2.2±0.2 for Tetralone session). Children, on the other hand, did not prefer water to sodium-gluconate solution during either the pairwise comparisons (see ), or the preference-ranking procedures (), thus suggesting that children, unlike adults, do not prefer water more than this salt.
To further examine the differences in preference for salty taste among children and adults, we determined the number of children (n=41) and mothers (n=39) who ranked sodium gluconate as one of their most preferred (Rank Score 1 or 2) or least preferred of the four solutions (Rank Score 3 or 4) during the first test session. More than half (56%) of the children, but only 22% of the mothers, ranked salt as one of their most preferred solutions. This difference between children and adults was significant, χ2(1 df)=9.09, p<.005.
Accepted Formulation of Medication and Use of Sport’s Drinks
Fifty-one percent of the mothers reported that they tried to give their child medication in a pill formulation, but only 29% routinely took medicine in pill form. The remaining children used liquid or chewable formulations or both. The majority of children (68%) reported that they had tried and liked drinking sport drinks, some of which contain approximately 0. 2 M NaCl (e.g., Gatorade™).
For adults, the perceived bitterness of some bitter compounds is reduced when the compound is mixed with sodium salts (Breslin & Beauchamp, 1995, 1997; Keast & Breslin, 2002; Keast et al., 2001; Kroeze & Bartoshuk, 1985). We show here for the first time that this also is the case for children. In particular, sodium gluconate reduced the bitterness of urea, and the same tendency was evident for caffeine. In marked contrast, the reverse effect was true for the bitter compounds in the Tetralone mixture. Consistent with the reductions in perceived bitterness, children also reported that urea and caffeine, to which the sodium salt was added, tasted better than these bitter compounds alone. Again, the reverse was true for Tetralone.
The mechanisms underlying the ability of sodium gluconate to reduce bitterness are not known. Previous studies strongly suggested that the locus of the effect is at the periphery (Bartoshuk, 1980; Breslin & Beauchamp, 1995; Kroeze & Bartoshuk, 1985), most likely due to the sodium ion somehow interfering with the functioning of one or more bitter receptors. If this is the case, why does sodium gluconate differentially reduce the bitterness of some bitter compounds and enhance the bitterness of others? The answer to this question may lie in the recent findings that indicate there are multiple mechanisms underlying the sensory transduction of bitter compounds (Brand, 2000; Margolskee, 2002). There are multiple G-protein coupled bitter receptors (Adler et al., 2000; Chandrashekar et al., 2000; Matsunami, Montmayeur, & Buck, 2000), and bitter taste may be induced in some cases by nonreceptor interactions between bitter compounds and taste cells (Rosenzweig, Yan, Dasso, & Spielman, 1999). Consequently, sodium may interfere with some transductive processes, but not others.
Whatever the mechanism by which sodium reduces the bitterness of some bitter compounds and enhances the bitterness of others, it is clearly operative in 7- to 10-year-old children. There have been reports that sensitivity to tastes changes marginally between childhood and adulthood (Oram, Laing, Freeman, & Hutchinson, 2001). However, the most convincing and striking age-related differences in taste relate not to sensitivity but to preferences. That is, children prefer significantly higher concentrations of sweeteners and salt when compared with adults (Desor, Greene, & Maller, 1975). The latter tendency also was evident in the current study. For example, approximately 44% of the children, on average, preferred salt to water during the three sessions whereas this was the case for, on average, 19% of the mothers (). Likewise, 56% of the children, but only 22% of the mothers, ranked the salted solution as one of their top two most preferred solutions.
Sodium salts, particularly sodium chloride (i.e., table salt), impart a desirably salty taste to foods. But salt also appears to have other important functions in cuisine. In particular, relatively small amounts of salt are reported to “enhance” or increase palatability of many foods (Kemp & Beauchamp, 1994). One mechanism underlying this increase in palatability of salted foods may be via the suppressing activity of sodium on bitter taste. For example, the intensity of sweetness is enhanced by the addition of a sodium salt to a sweet-bitter mixture, presumable by blocking bitterness and thereby releasing sweetness from suppression (Breslin & Beauchamp, 1997). Intense sweeteners are used, but often unsuccessfully, to mask the bitterness in children’s formulations of medicines. We suggest that the addition of sodium salts to these concoctions, in selected cases, might be expected to improve their acceptability by children.
Bitter-tasting substances elicit innately determined rejection reflexes in nonhuman animals as well as in humans (Rosenstein & Oster, 1988; Steiner, 1977; Steiner, Glaser, Hawilo, & Berridge, 2001). Presumably, this rejection reflex evolved for the mutual protection of both animal and plant—to protect the animal from poisoning (most, but not all, bitter compounds in nature are toxic to some degree.) and protect the plant from being eaten. As indicated in the Introduction, most pharmaceutical preparations taste bitter, and when children cannot or will not take medicines in encapsulated form (Steffensen et al. , 1998), a way of reducing this innately rejected sensory stimulus becomes medically significant. Failure to consume medication may do the child harm, and in some cases, may be life threatening (Van Dyke et al., 2002).
The current study indicates that it may be effective to use sodium salts to suppress the bitterness of some pharmaceuticals. Based on the differential ability of a sodium salt to inhibit bitterness, clearly each drug of interest must be evaluated separately to determine whether sodium salts are effective at inhibiting bitterness (see also Breslin & Beauchamp, 1995). With progress in understanding how bitter taste is transduced and how sodium acts to suppress bitterness, it may be possible to predict the efficacy of sodium as a specific bitter blocker based on the structure of the drug of interest. There are other compounds that are reported to reduce bitterness (e.g., phosphatidic acid beta-lactoglobulin, PALG) (Katsuragi, Sugiura, Lee, Otsuji, & Kurihara, 1995), but it is questionable whether they are superior to sodium. However, superior bitter-taste-inhibiting compounds may be discovered when knowledge of the mechanistic processes underlying bitter taste perception is more fully known. Such compounds instead of, or in combination with, sodium salts should aid in increasing the acceptability of many drugs, thereby benefiting children with illnesses.

Not just for cocktails
Bitters is — as the name implies — an infusion that’s created from predominantly bitter ingredients. These ingredients comprise aromatics and botanicals that can include any combination of herbs, roots, bark, fruit, seeds, or flowers.
If you’ve visited a cocktail lounge lately, you’ve probably noticed additions like Angostura bitters on the mixed drink menu. But you can find bitters everywhere from the bar to the medicine cabinet.
While bitters are a trendy craft cocktail component, that’s not what they first started as. And it’s certainly not all that they are.
This apothecary staple was first marketed in the 1700s as a remedy for common ailments such as digestion irregularities. Medicinal herbs and botanicals were preserved in alcohol and touted as a cure-all.
Throughout the next few centuries, bitters would be used for everything from a stimulant for the troops in the 1800s to a proposed treatment for malaria before making their way to the modern happy hour menu.
Now, with emerging science to back up the benefits, bitters have once again gained popularity for aiding digestive health, curbing sugar cravings, boosting the immune system, and even easing stress.
This guide will review exactly how bitter ingredients affect our health, who can benefit from bitters, and how to make them at home.
How is simply eating something bitter-tasting better for your health?
Scientists label bitter as one of the seven basic tastes.
Our body contains tons of receptors (T2Rs) for bitter compounds in not only our mouth and tongue, but our stomach, gut, liver, and pancreas.
This is mostly for protective reasons. Our bitter receptors are built as a “warning” to our body, as most dangerous and poisonous things are highly bitter tasting.
The stimulation of these bitter receptors promotes healthy digestion by increasing digestive secretions. This leads to better absorption of nutrients, natural detoxification of the liver, and — thanks to the gut-brain connection — bitters can even have a positive effect on stress.
But remember, bitters are not a primary treatment. Think of them as a health boost to help the body run more smoothly — from kick-starting the digestive tract to boosting the immune system. They shouldn’t replace any treatment a doctor has prescribed.
Digestion and gut benefits
When your digestion needs a little support, bitters can facilitate stomach acid and act as a digestive aid.
This can not only ease indigestion, but also heartburn, nausea, cramping, bloating, and gas.
Bitters for digestion and gut health
gentian
dandelion
wormwood
burdock
Immune and inflammation benefits
Burdock is an inflammation fighter that has been shown to have positive effects in people with osteoarthritis.
Paired with common additions, like ginger and turmeric, bitters can become an immune-boosting powerhouse.
The anti-inflammatory compounds in these ingredients have powerful antioxidant effects to protect the body from autoimmune diseases.
Bitters for immune function and inflammation
Oregon grape
barberry
angelica
chamomile
Sugar and appetite control benefits
Curb sugar cravings quickly with the help of bitters, which help counter the brain receptors that drive us to consume sweets.
Bitters can promote overall healthy eating habits and control overeating. Consuming bitter foods stimulates the production of PYY and GLP-1 hormones, which help control and suppress the appetite.
Bitters for sugar and appetite control
artichoke leaf
citrus peel
licorice root
gentian root
Liver health benefits
Certain bittering agents help support the liver at fulfilling its main job: removing toxins from the body and regulating our metabolic processes.
Bitters give the liver a boost by aiding in the elimination of toxins and detoxification, coordinating the metabolism of sugar and fats, and helping release gallbladder-supporting hormones like cholecystokinin (CCK).
Bitters for sugar and appetite control
artichoke leaf
silymarin
dandelion root
chicory root
Bitters can also have a positive effect on blood sugar levels, healthy skin, and stress.
Bittering agents
Dandelion root is a powerful antioxidant that can reduce inflammation.
Artichoke leaf contains the flavonoid silymarin, a powerful liver protectant, and has been shown to help liver cells regenerate (in mice).
Chicory root aids in digestion and bowel function and can help regulate blood sugar.
Gentian root contains cancer-fighting compounds and is used to relieve indigestion, loss of appetite, and heartburn.
Wormwood aids in overall digestion and can help increase appetite.
Licorice root is anti-inflammatory, boosts the immune system, and can soothe digestive issues.
Wild cherry bark boosts the immune system and is shown to have an anti-proliferative effect on colon cancer cells.
Burdock root is an antioxidant powerhouse that detoxes the blood and helps remove toxins.
Black walnut leaf contains tannins which aid in inflammation and is considered beneficial to skin health.
Devil’s club root is used as a treatment for respiratory, cardiovascular, and gastrointestinal issues.
Angelica root is used for heartburn, intestinal gas, loss of appetite, and improved circulation.
Sarsaparilla can improve overall liver function (as shown in rats) and has positive effects on certain skin conditions and arthritis due to its anti-inflammatory properties.
Other bittering agents may include:
Oregon grape root
mugwort
orris root
calamus root
barberry root
cinchona bark
horehound
quassia bark
Aromatics
Aromatics can add flavor, fragrance, sweetness, and balance to bitters. Some aromatics even come with potent health benefits, such as turmeric, citrus, and lavender.
Here are some aromatics typically used to make bitters:
Herbs and flowers: mint, sage, lemongrass, peppermint, sorrel, lavender, chamomile, hibiscus, passionflower, yarrow, rose, milk thistle, and valerian
Spices: cinnamon, cassia, turmeric, cloves, cardamom, chiles, fennel, ginger, nutmeg, juniper berries, star anise, vanilla beans, and peppercorns
Fruit: citrus peels and dried fruit
Nuts and beans: nuts, coffee beans, cocoa beans, and cocoa nibs
You only need a few drops
Bitters are very potent, and dosing and frequency will vary on what you’re using them for. But often a few drops will do.
You can take them internally either by placing a few drops from a tincture on the tongue or diluting with another liquid, such as sparkling water or in cocktails.
When you take it might matter though: If your goal of using bitters is to ease digestive issues, consumption should occur either directly before or after meals.
How often you take them differs for everyone. While you can use bitters at low doses as part of your daily routine, you may find that bitters help you when used as needed.
In the beginning, it’s best to start with small doses of bitters before assessing its effectiveness and your body’s reaction.
Before you make your own, learn the basics
Bitters contain two things: bitter ingredients and a carrier, which is typically alcohol (although we’ll also review nonalcoholic bitters further below). Aromatics and spices may also be added to bitters.
Common bittering agents include:
dandelion root
artichoke leaf
wormwood
burdock root
gentian root
angelica root
Spices, botanicals, and herbs are added as flavoring agents but in some cases they also provide additional benefits (i. e. lavender in a stress-relief bitters).
These aromatics — to name a few — can include:
cinnamon
chamomile
vanilla
dried fruit
nuts
cocoa or coffee beans
hibiscus
mint
ginger
turmeric
peppercorns
juniper berries
anise
The ratio
The best thing about bitters is that you can really experiment. While there’s no set-in-stone ratio for bitters, the general proportion is typically 1 part bittering agents to 5 parts alcohol (1:5). Botanicals and aromatics are generally a 1:2 ratio to bitters or equal parts.
Here’s what you need to make and store bitters at home
To make and store bitters properly, the following tools and equipment are needed:
a mason jar or other container with a tight-fitting lid
glass dropper bottles, if making tinctures
measuring cups and spoons, or a scale
spice grinder, or mortar and pestle
a fine-mesh strainer (cheesecloth may also be used)
a funnel
labels
Can it be alcohol-free?
Bitters is traditionally and most commonly made with alcohol. Alcohol used to make bitters is typically between 40-50 percent ABV. Alcohol helps extract as much as possible from the bittering agents, while also preserving the shelf life of the bitters.
The amount of alcohol in a single dose of bitters is very minimal. However, you can still make bitters without alcohol.
Bitters can be made with glycerin, a liquid sugar, or with a nonalcoholic spirit like SEEDLIP.
Making your own bitters doesn’t have to be intimidating. Actually, it’s easier, more hands-off, and takes less effort than most realize.
About 90 percent of making your own bitters will be waiting for it to be ready, as bitters takes a few weeks to infuse. Let’s learn the basics of bitters in this step-by-step DIY guide.
A snapshot at creating your own recipes
If you have an idea of what you want to put together, you can follow these instructions.
Directions:
Combine bittering agents, aromatics (if using), and alcohol using a basic 1:5 ratio of bittering agents to alcohol.
Place the bitters in clean glass jars with a tight-fitting lid (mason jars work well).
Label the bitters.
Store the bitters in a cool, dry place, like a cupboard.
Shake the jar of bitters daily.
Infuse the bitters for several weeks. The length of time needed will depend on the ingredients used. You can infuse bitters for as little as 5 days for milder bitters, or up to 3 weeks.
Strain your mixture using a cheesecloth or fine mesh strainer.
Bottle your bitters in containers or tinctures.
Fresh or dried herbs and botanicals can be used. If using fresh, aim for a 1:2 ratio of ingredients to alcohol and if using dried, stick with the 1:5 standard (or less).
Six recipes to start with:
liver-balancing bitters
stress-relieving bitters
inflammation-fighting bitters
immune-boosting bitters
digestive bitters
sugar-curbing bitters
The alcohol
Use alcohol with a 40-50 percent ABV. Vodka is a great choice because of its clean, neutral flavor, but bourbon, rum, or rye also work.
To make bitters alcohol-free, use a nonalcoholic spirit such as SEEDLIP. But note that alcohol-free bitters have shorter shelf lives. Since alcohol is a natural preservative, the higher the alcohol content in bitters, the longer the shelf life will be.
Infuse time
Bitters should infuse for five days to two weeks. The longer bitters infuse, the stronger they’ll be.
You should let your bitters sit until it develops a prominent, potent flavor and smells very fragrant. To make your bitters even stronger, infuse for four weeks.
Where to buy
Purchase the herbs and bittering agents for your homemade bitters easily online from websites like Mountain Rose Herbs.
If you’re not ready to take the plunge into DIY bitters just yet, there are many companies making bitters.
Flora Health makes alcohol-free Swedish bitters. ($11.99/3.4 oz)
Scrappy’s Bitters offers a vast variety of bitters, from lavender to celery, for cocktails and beyond. ($17.99/5 oz)
Angostura Bitters is one of the oldest makers of bitters still around today. ($22/16 oz)
The general cost of bitters
The cost of making your own bitters will vary by the herbs and bittering agents you’re using. The most common bittering agents (burdock root, artichoke leaf, angelica, dandelion root, and gentian) average $2.50-$5 per ounce.
Bitters should be avoided by people with certain health conditions or anyone who’s pregnant. Bitters may also interact with certain medications and should not be used by children.
Always speak with your doctor about possible interactions of medicinal herbs and plants with your current medication.
Examples of side effects or complications include:
Burdock root may have a moderate effect on anticoagulants and diabetes medications.
Dandelion may interfere with the absorption of antibiotics.
Artichoke leaf should not be used by those with gallstones as it may increase bile flow.
Angelica root, yarrow, mugwort, and passionflower (among others) should not be used by pregnant women as it may cause harmful uterine contractions, miscarriage, or premature labor.
Wormwood shouldn’t be used by those with kidney disorder or a history of seizures.
Gentian root shouldn’t be used by those with low blood pressure.
Those with allergies or sensitivities to certain plants, flowers, or herb families should avoid bitters containing them.
While bitters aren’t the magical cure-all they were once marketed as, they certainly have their benefits.
If waiting and making your own bitters doesn’t sound like your ideal way to spend time, you can also gain similar benefits by simply eating bitter foods.
The benefit of bitters can be found in these foods:
bitter melon
dandelion greens
cranberries
broccoli
arugula
kale
radicchio
endive
Brussels sprouts
dark chocolate
Create an on-the-go bitters
Reap the benefits of bitters from anywhere by transferring your bitters into glass dropper bottles which can be easily purchased online. Tinctures are especially helpful for using bitters to ease digestion woes or curbing sugar cravings when you’re on-the-go.

Kichkin (sits heavily) . What is there …
Zobnin . Y-yes… Kostyantin – think…
Tipunov . Now we need to work together…
Kostya . Necessarily!

Tatiana . What are you pushing?
Marya . Ah, sorry!
Kichkin . Eh, if I didn’t have shortness of breath … I would you, Mokey! (Shows his fist.) Scoundrel…
Zobnin (peacefully) . What will you achieve with swearing? I myself would have cursed as well as you … but what’s the point?
Kostya (gloomy) . It is necessary, uncle, to garrison . ..
Tipunov . It’s called garrisons, or whatever… well, it should be soon!
(Kostya whispers something to Marya, she laughs.)
Tatyana (to Zobnin) . Brother, – Konstantin, look, he is whispering!
Kostya (spit indignantly) . F-fu! Well … manners!
Zobnin . Zytste! (Sighing) What about Ivan Ivanov?
Pips . Very simple! (Writes with his finger in the air.) Zobnin and Kichkin’s timber industry company – nothing more!
Kichkin . Why am I in the back? I don’t want to…

Taste development in babies: what do they like best?
The improvement of taste sensations in a small child is as intense as the development of all other senses. The first year of life is a decisive time that can predetermine a person’s taste preferences in the future.
In a small child, acquaintance with the world and the acquisition of basic skills is directly related to the development of the senses – hearing, sight, touch, smell and taste. From birth, the baby has basic sensory abilities that will improve throughout the first years of life. Subsequently, the active development of the nervous system, and hence the brain and the perception system, will provide him with a confident and accurate control of his feelings and sensations.
How many flavors does our tongue recognize? Sweet, sour, salty, bitter. Now, to these four main tastes, one more has officially been added, the fifth one is protein or umami (from the Japanese word “umai” – tasty, pleasant). This taste is typical for meat, fish and broths based on them.
Before birth
Cells capable of detecting various tastes begin to develop from the seventh week of pregnancy, and by the thirteenth week they are fully functional. At the sixth month of pregnancy, the baby swallows and “inhales” a large amount of amniotic fluid, the taste of which changes depending on what the pregnant woman eats.
MRI techniques have allowed specialists to learn more about the taste preferences of the embryo. For example, he swallows amniotic fluid faster if it tastes sweeter due to his mother’s glucose intake. This is a sign that he likes the sweet taste more.
This is how, by swallowing amniotic fluid, the child experiences for the first time what is called taste sensations, which come to him through the mouth and nose. Indeed, the foods that a woman eats change the taste and smell of the amniotic fluid. This exposure introduces the baby to the mother’s eating habits.
When a child is born, he already has some experience of recognizing the different tastes that will be part of his eating habits. For example, babies whose mothers ate a lot of carrots in the last month of pregnancy are likely to prefer this product.
Taste of the newborn
After birth, the baby continues to experience the tastes of his mother’s food through breast milk. Breastfed children agree to try different foods faster and more easily than those who ate artificial mixtures. Eating habits acquired during breastfeeding may persist into older age.
Experts call breast milk a “bridge” that connects the period of intrauterine development, when the child received information about the taste of foods through the amniotic fluid, and the time of introduction of complementary foods.
Sweet
From the first days of life, the baby prefers certain tastes. Favorite is sweet. Feeling the sweet taste, the newborn smiles, licks his lips and begins to make sucking movements. The sweet taste makes the child feel comfortable and safe. This calming effect is especially important in the first weeks of life.
Love for sweets is a big plus for a child’s development. She allows him to eat with pleasure, which means that in sufficient quantities, the first food product in his life is breast milk. Sweet and fatty milk contains more calories, which is very useful for an actively growing body.
Bitter
Bitter taste causes the strongest disgust reaction in the baby. Bitterness is created by plant toxin molecules and triggers defensive behavior. If you offer something bitter to a baby, he will spit it out and scream – this is an innate reaction, as well as sucking, swallowing, salivation. The last three reactions are directed towards eating, and the reaction to a bitter taste is directed towards rejection of inedible foods.
In addition, the signal associated with these reactions is transmitted to the hypothalamus, to the center of negative emotions, which gives rise to a strong negative experience. The feeling of bitterness is indeed a signal that the food is inedible.
An immune reaction to bitter taste has recently been described. It turns out that the receptors responsible for recognizing bitter not only cause taste sensations, but also activate the immune system. Therefore, it is correct when the medicine has a bitter taste – this is how it additionally activates the immune system, which will complement the action of the active substance of the medicine.
Salty, sour, fatty
But the baby reacts poorly to salty. Baby will like salted water closer to 4 months. The sour taste and the taste of umami (the taste of meat, fish and broths based on them) cause intermediate reactions.
The greasy taste seems to be more to the children’s taste. It is noticed that newborns drink more breast milk of high fat content.
Although most babies like certain tastes, every baby has their own preferences. Some genetic traits can influence taste recognition.
How taste preferences change
Distinguishing tastes (sweet, salty, sour, bitter, umami) occurs through taste buds located on the tongue, mouth and throat. At birth, a child has more taste buds than an adult, so the baby perceives tastes sharply.
Sense of smell and vision also play an important role in shaping food preferences.
During the first year of life, the child mainly eats sweet food – breast milk. Breast milk is a source of various tastes and aromas, and this affects the development of taste sensations and contributes to the full formation of eating behavior.
Starting at 6 months, as complementary foods are introduced, the baby begins to become familiar with other taste sensations. Complementary foods should be introduced in a timely manner and include all food groups in accordance with age. Diversity in nutrition is very beneficial for a child. The sooner he learns to recognize different tastes, the better he can develop his sensory system. “Experienced” children are less likely to refuse to try unfamiliar foods and new dishes in the future.
Taste preferences are influenced by both genetic factors and the environment in which the child grows up and the environment in which eating takes place. At the age of up to one and a half years, the child quite easily agrees to try any offered products. If the food is tasty and the child likes it, then he feels good. Such food evokes positive emotions.
The foods that your baby will be introduced to in the first 18 months will determine their gastronomic preferences in adulthood.
In other words, children remember the characteristic taste of the product at a very early age, and the memory of it remains for a long time, influencing the formation of taste preferences in the future. Therefore, try to open different tastes for the baby, even if at first they did not impress him.
The foundations of eating behavior are laid from early childhood under the influence of parents and close relatives, who, with a competent approach, can teach even the most fastidious child to eat properly. It is in our power to diversify the world of the baby, including educating his taste in the broadest sense of the word.
at the Territory festival, which is supported by the fund Prokhorov and the SIBUR company, showed a play by Gorky, staged by Timofey Kulyabin in the Novosibirsk “Red Torch”. The new place and new time of the action of the old play were rated by Alla Shenderova.

Gorky wrote “Children of the Sun” in 1905, sitting alone in the Peter and Paul Fortress. The play has a twin brother – “To the Stars” by Leonid Andreev, which arose at the same time and in similar conditions. Both texts are the result of conversations between Gorky and Andreev, the writers even came up with a plan and the name of a common play: “The Astronomer” (about the isolation of the intelligentsia from the people), but they did not manage to work as a co-author. Having finished the text in prison, Gorky continued to finish it for a long time. In Soviet times, all versions were published in one collection, and this is quite an entertaining read: to watch how the heroes-schemes turn into people, moreover, into Chekhov’s people – for some scenes, Gorky frankly borrowed the rhythm and style of speech of the characters in “The Cherry Orchard” and “Three sisters. ”
It is not necessary to know all this when going to a performance by Timofey Kulyabin, but this knowledge is useful, otherwise the theater would not have turned the program into a booklet with detailed biographies of all the characters. There are six of them: the general’s son, scientist Pavel Protasov turned into an IT specialist developing an algorithm for cloud data storage; his beautiful wife Elena; his sister Lisa; medical biologist Boris Chepurnoy; his half-sister, millionaire’s widow Melania; designer and photographer Dmitry Vagin. There is also Fima (Valeria Kruchinina), who helps with the housework – the only one left from all the janitors, maids, women and men from the Protasov estate, who, in Gorky’s version, almost killed the scientists for sending cholera to the county. The county itself is not in the play: it takes place in California, on the Stanford University campus, next to Silicon Valley, on New Year’s Eve, 2000: it all starts on December 31 1999th, and ends on January 2, 2000.
Oleg Golovko, co-author of Timofey Kulyabin, has inscribed in a small space (in Moscow the performance was played on the Small Stage of the Theater of Nations) four rooms without walls, or rather, four studios, where beds and tables are put on rails, so that the action can take place alternately, then in parallel. But even if everything happens at the same time, then the digital clock above each room shows the same date, but different times: in one room it is 20:42, and in the other it is 8:42 on the same day.
Looking at the flashing dials, the viewer not only remembers, but, as it were, re-experiences all these millennial fears associated with the expectation of man-made disasters and computer failures. Only Pavel (Pavel Polyakov) is calm, a high-class IT specialist, in one of the scenes replacing Gorky’s text with a monologue of Steve Jobs (you can’t deny the project’s playwright Olga Fedyanina in wit), he knows perfectly well that the “millennium problem” is in his hands. Taking a sip of Red Bull, he quickly hits the keys, taking off his headphones with heavy rock, only when a photographer friend (Konstantin Telegin) admits that he is in love with his wife (Daria Emelyanova). However, he will interrupt the calculations only once, in order to throw away Melania (Ekaterina Zhirova), who is in love with him, who dared to touch the drive.
No, these people are connected not by friendship, but by the fact that they recently emigrated from Russia. Lisa (Irina Krivonos), Pavel’s older sister, managed to graduate from St. Petersburg LGITMiK and witnessed the explosion in the Moscow metro in 1996: she limps and from time to time torments everyone with the question of whether they will take into the future those unfortunate people who suffered during the terrorist attack – here is the text Gorky, written immediately after Bloody Sunday, shines like new. In general, there are many scenes in Kulyabin’s performance when it is difficult to distinguish the original from the “remake”, and the actors exist sparingly and truthfully, as in a close-up in the cinema – in fact, these are the same actors that shook Moscow, and then Europe in Kulyabinsk’s “Three sisters” played in sign language. This time, Andrey Chernykh’s Chepurnaya is remembered most of all, who smartly speaks Liza’s seizures like a doctor, calls himself a Khokhl and knows how to add not even an accent, but a note of Ukrainian speech to the monologue, which is why all phrases are filled with disturbing music.
“The time has come, a huge storm is approaching us all,” said Chekhov’s Tuzenbach. Gorky borrowed his heroes from Chekhov, and Kulyabin, leaving them as Chekhov’s intellectuals, changed the time and place. It can be said that the characters of his “Children of the Sun” realized the dreams of the heroes of the play “To the Stars” about distant planets: they flew away and are unlikely to meet again with a hungry, angry, dense people. That is why in the finale of the performance you feel a taste not of a theatrical, but of a real tragedy: it’s not about Gorky’s plot, where Chepurnoy hangs himself, and Liza goes crazy, but that they flew away and nothing can be corrected in this story.
Bitter tears.
Adults offend children undeservedly | Events | SOCIETY
“Each of us, parents, must fight for the child, for the best in him, without offending or humiliating him. Then he will grow up to be a good, successful and happy person,” Tatyana Okeanskaya, Commissioner for Children’s Rights in the Ivanovo Region, is sure.
The most vulnerable
Tatyana Balantseva, vlad.aif.ru: – Tatyana Petrovna, how often do your parents come to you and with what problems?
Tatyana Okeanskaya: – They contact us constantly, on average 25 people a week. Both parents and teenagers come. Questions and requests for help are different. Most of the requests come from mothers who cannot collect alimony from their ex-husbands.
But the most unprotected category is families with disabled children. For example, just recently, a mother of a special child told a monstrous story. In one of the Ivanovo bookstores, a visitor shouted: “Why are you walking around with your morons!”. It’s outrageous. This is not the only case. In general, most of the tragic situations are connected with these families. Such cruelty of the surrounding people destroys society as a whole.
They take it out on children
T.B.: – According to your observation, how comfortable is it for a modern child to live in the current conditions?
Т.О.: – If we talk about child abuse, such facts are becoming more and more common, unfortunately. I am now talking about physical, psychological humiliation, sexual abuse, neglect of the needs of the child (for example, when he walks in clothes that are out of season, or when he is limited in food).
In families, mothers and fathers take out evil on children or reproduce the form of upbringing that they once observed from their parents. A parent who was offended in childhood will, as a rule, behave in the same way in relation to his children.
Employees of the Ivanovo Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs conducted a survey among parents: “Do you think physical punishment of children is normal. ” The vast majority responded positively and clarified: “I was punished, and I am punishing.”
But if you were punished, this does not mean at all that this method is effective. In addition, we must take into account that now is a different time and children are different. Modern children do not perceive this as a lesson, they become embittered, begin to hate their parents. They may leave home.
T.B.: – How to act?
Т.О.: – Only in words, explain, convince, prove, without exerting pressure bordering on violence. And be very attentive, catch any changes in the behavior and mood of children. Of the 250 crimes involving violence against children in 2015, 73 were crimes against the sexual integrity of children.
One third of all sexual violence is committed in families by cohabiting mothers. And not only for girls, but also for boys. And this is a big trauma for the child. I am sure that sexual promiscuity is connected with moral. Therefore, mothers who decide to establish a personal life need to be extremely vigilant when choosing a man.
Teacher, you are wrong!
T.B.: – Are there any complaints about teachers and class teachers who humiliate children?
Т.О.: – We often have to deal with such situations. Teachers most often offend students with a word. Unfortunately, in our Russian school this still occurs. Sometimes teachers cross the line of what is acceptable in dialogue, in communication with a student: they will say an offensive word (for the purpose of education), publicly scold. Children perceive it very painfully, they experience real stress. The task of the teacher is to find an individual approach to the child.
T.B.: – Are there conflicts over grades?
Т.О.: – And because of the grades too. The teacher should understand the following: if you give a mark, comment on why this mark is given. But comments (whether they are public or private) should not degrade the dignity of children. The most important thing is respect. Personally, I reason like this: in front of me is a person, no matter how old he is, I respect him a priori.
TB: – Probably another common problem: teachers label children.
Т.О.: – Under no circumstances should a teacher do this. Teachers should strive to practice an individual approach to each child, to find the best in him and to cultivate this in him.
Attitude towards students ultimately depends on the professionalism of the teacher. A teacher is not only knowledge of the subject. This is also a person who will not allow himself to humiliate another person and create a situation that will eventually develop into a conflict.
Sample or not?
T.B.: – How can a mother give advice to parents who are constantly busy: how to build relationships with a child?
Т. О.: – I use every minute to communicate with children: whether you cook, do laundry, go by minibus, take you to kindergarten or school. From early childhood it is necessary to talk with children, to help them comprehend everything that is happening around. I confess that I often argue with my thirteen-year-old son: it can be difficult to prove one’s case, especially in questions of “what is good and what is bad.” But I hope that the “sown” word will bear fruit. It is important that word and deed do not diverge, because children look at us and imitate us.
Therefore, in relationships with a child of any age, it is important not to lose trust. Children of any age need parents, our care. There is a free minute – call your son, daughter. Let them know that you are there, thinking about them.
It is good if children and parents have common interests and hobbies. For example, my daughter and I love to embroider, my son and I love to watch cartoons and films that we have loved since childhood, and in the summer we love to ride bicycles in the country.
Tatyana Okeanskaya has been the Commissioner for Children’s Rights in the Ivanovo Region since 2013, mother of two children. Born in Ivanovo. At 19In 1989 she graduated from the Faculty of Philology of Ivanovo State University with a degree in Philology. Teacher”.
She worked at school No. 56 in Ivanovo, Lyceum No. 67. Since 2011, she has been the Commissioner for the Protection of the Rights of the Child in the Lyceum
No. 67.
She was awarded the Certificate of Honor of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, for merits in the field of education she received the title “Honorary Worker of General Education of the Russian Federation”.
In 2011, she was awarded the “Order of Children’s Hearts” by the Education Department of the Ivanovo City Administration.
T.B.: – Why do children run away from home – because of the indifference of their parents or, on the contrary, excessive control?
Т. О.: – The reasons are different. And although the number of runaways from home in 2015 decreased by 20%, misunderstanding between children and parents, distrust can grow like a snowball and end in tragedy.
TB: – How to avoid this?
Т.О.: – We, parents, must understand: children do not listen – children watch. And we are perceived as a model or an anti-sample. Therefore, we must, first of all, take care of ourselves, our speech, our behavior. Children will reproduce our behavior. Therefore, if they upset us, it means that we have missed something somewhere.
But I can say that this is not catastrophic: the situation can always be corrected. The main thing is to see that a problem arises, not to look at it, to think about how to fix the situation. Of course, the process of education does not have an instant result. Sometimes we see the fruits of our upbringing years later. So you need to invest the best in a child, love him, talk with him and be an example.
Maxim Gorky — biography of the writer, personal life, photos, portraits, books
Author of the play “At the Bottom”, the novel “Mother” and the autobiographical stories “Childhood”, “In People” and “My Universities”, Maxim Gorky lived in poverty for many years, rented corners in bunkhouses, worked as a salesman, dishwasher and shoemaker’s assistant . After the revolution, he was recognized as “the main proletarian writer.” In honor of Gorky, they named Tverskaya Street in Moscow, the Literary Institute, and in 1934 he was appointed head of the Writers’ Union of the USSR.

Maxim Gorky was born on March 28, 1868 in Nizhny Novgorod. His real name is Alexey Peshkov. The father of the future writer, Maxim Peshkov, was a carpenter, and his mother, Varvara Kashirina, came from a poor bourgeois family. When Gorky was three years old, he fell ill with cholera and infected his father. The boy recovered, but Maxim Peshkov soon died. Mother married a second time, and Gorky remained in the care of her father Vasily Kashirin, the owner of a dyeing workshop. The future writer was raised by his grandparents. Vasily Kashirin taught Gorky to read and write from church books, and Akulina Kashirina read fairy tales and poems to him. The writer later recalled: “I was filled with grandmother’s poems like a beehive with honey; I think I was thinking in the form of her poems” .
By the 1870s, Maxim Gorky’s grandfather had gone bankrupt. The family moved to the poorest district of Nizhny Novgorod – Kunavinskaya Sloboda. To help his relatives, the future writer from childhood tried to earn money and was engaged in rags – he looked for things on the streets of the city and sold them.
In 1878, Gorky entered the Sloboda-Kunavinsky Primary School. He studied excellently, received awards from teachers for good grades – books, commendable sheets.
“It became difficult for me again at school, the students ridiculed me, calling me a ragman, a rogue, and one day, after a quarrel, they told the teacher that I smelled like a garbage pit and you shouldn’t sit next to me. <...> But finally, I passed the exam for the third grade, received the Gospel, Krylov’s fables in cover and another unbound book with an incomprehensible title – “Fata Morgana” as a reward, they also gave me a commendation sheet. <...> I took the books to a shop, sold them for fifty-five kopecks, gave the money to my grandmother, and spoiled the commendation sheet with some inscriptions and then handed it to my grandfather. He carefully hid the paper without unfolding it and not noticing my mischief.0007
Gorky was expelled from the school. They wrote in the documents: “I didn’t finish the course <...> on poverty” . After that, he was an apprentice shoemaker and draftsman, a dishwasher on a steamer, an assistant icon painter and a salesman in a merchant’s shop. Since childhood, Gorky read a lot, among his favorite authors were Stendhal, Honore de Balzac and Gustave Flaubert. The future writer was also interested in philosophy – he studied the works of Arthur Schopenhauer and Friedrich Nietzsche. Gorky entered his impressions of the books he read into his personal diary.

In 1884, at the age of 16, Maxim Gorky went to Kazan to enter the local university. But the future writer did not have a certificate of education, and he was not allowed to take the exams. In the story “My Universities” he later wrote: “To the sound of the rain and the sighs of the wind, I soon realized that the university was a fantasy…” . Gorky had no money to rent a house. At first, he lived with friends, and then began to earn extra money in the Kazan port and rent corners in rooming houses along with the tramps. In his free time, he composed his first literary works: notes, stories and poems.
A few months later, Gorky found a job at Vasily Semyonov’s bakery, where Narodnaya Volya often gathered. There he got acquainted with the works of Russian revolutionaries, and soon joined one of the underground circles of Marxists. Gorky was an agitator, he held educational talks with the illiterate and workers. Despite all the activity during the meetings, Gorky was not taken seriously.
“Gorky was not destined to establish strong ties with [Nikolai] — Approx. ed.] Fedoseev, nor get to know Lenin at that time. Gorky had no friends in this environment. <…>. Among populist students, he was not an equal person, but only a “son of the people,” as they called him among themselves: he was for them, as it were, a clear proof of the “faith in the people” they professed. <...> Years of excessive physical work and the intensity of experiences undermined his mental strength. The whole world opposing him in its everyday and difficult situation contradicted all his long-standing expectations. The rejection of this alien world was experienced by him with all the depth.0007
1887 was a difficult year for Maxim Gorky. His grandmother died, he began to have conflicts at work, quarrels with members of the circle. Gorky fired. He was lucky: he survived, although he fell under the church court and was excommunicated. After that, Gorky moved to Nizhny Novgorod, where he began working as an assistant to a barrister. There he met the writer Vladimir Korolenko, to whom he showed his poem “The Song of the Old Oak”. Korolenko read the work and found many semantic and spelling errors in it. Gorky later wrote about this: “I decided not to write any more poetry or prose, and indeed, all the time I lived in Nizhny – almost two years – I did not write anything” .
In 1890, Gorky went on a hiking trip and visited the south of Russia, visited the cities of the Caucasus and Crimea. In his autobiography, he wrote: “I felt out of place among the intelligentsia and went to travel” . In the south, Gorky communicated a lot with local residents, engaged in traditional crafts for them: he fished, mined salt. On the way, he wrote stories and notes, poems, in which he imitated George Byron.

In 1892, Gorky stopped in Tiflis, where he met the revolutionary Alexander Kalyuzhny. The writer read his works to him, and Kalyuzhin advised Gorky to publish and himself took his story “Makar Chudra” to the editorial office of the Tiflis newspaper “Caucasus”. The work was published in September 1892 under the pseudonym Maxim Gorky. According to Kalyuzhin, the writer explained it this way: “Don’t write to me in literature – Peshkov” .
Soon Gorky returned to Nizhny Novgorod to his former place of work. In his spare time, he continued to write short stories. Gorky read them to friends and acquaintances. One of my friends sent the story “Emelyan Pilyai” to the editorial office of the Moscow newspaper “Russkiye Vedomosti”. Soon the work was printed.
On the advice of Korolenko, when working on the following works, Gorky began to work out the images of the characters more carefully, tried to maintain a single style of narration. These changes are noticeable in the story “Chelkash”, about which Korolenko wrote: “Not bad at all! You can create characters, people speak and act from themselves, from their essence, you know how not to interfere in the course of their thoughts, the play of feelings, this is not given to everyone! .. I told you that you are a realist! .. But in the same time – a romantic! . Gorky sent the story to the well-known St. Petersburg weekly magazine Russian Wealth, where it was soon published.
On the recommendation of Korolenko, in 1895 Gorky became a journalist for the Samarskaya Gazeta and moved from Nizhny Novgorod to Samara. There he wrote about incidents in the city, theatrical events and secular life, published feuilletons under the pseudonym Yehudiel Khlamida. A few months later, the writer was entrusted with maintaining a literary section, in which Gorky published his works weekly. Soon he returned to Nizhny Novgorod, where he became the editor of the Nizhny Novgorod leaflet.
Gorky became a famous journalist. The large provincial newspaper Odessa News offered him to be a special correspondent for the publication at the All-Russian Industrial and Art Exhibition, which was held in Nizhny Novgorod in 1896.

In the mid-1890s, Gorky mainly carried out journalistic orders. However, he did not leave literary creativity: he wrote stories, poems, worked on his story “Foma Gordeev” about the life of the Russian merchant class. In 189In 8, Gorky’s first collection, Essays and Stories, was published. After its publication, the writer began to communicate with Anton Chekhov. Chekhov gave Gorky advice and criticized: “Intemperance is felt in the descriptions of nature, with which you interrupt the dialogues, when you read them, these descriptions, you want them to be more compact, shorter, that way in 2-3 lines” . The writer liked Gorky’s fairy tales, including “The Song of the Falcon”.
In 1899, the newspaper “Life” published “Foma Gordeev”. The story glorified Gorky: reviews of it appeared in leading Russian magazines, a conference on the writer’s work was organized in St. Petersburg, and Ilya Repin painted a portrait of Gorky. In Nizhny Novgorod, Maxim Gorky took up social activities: he organized charity evenings, New Year trees for the children of the poor. The writer was constantly under police surveillance, because he did not stop communicating with the revolutionaries.
“I didn’t write to you because I was busy as hell with various things and was angry all the time like an old witch. The mood is gloomy. The back hurts, the chest too, the head helps them in this … Out of grief and bad mood, he began to drink vodka and even write poetry. I think that the position of a writer is not such a sweet position.”
In 1899, Gorky was expelled from Nizhny Novgorod for promoting revolutionary ideas in the small town of Arzamas. Before the exile, he was allowed to go to the Crimea to improve his health: the writer had tuberculosis.
At the same time, the Art Theater in Moscow began preparing a production of Gorky’s first play, The Petty Bourgeoisie. The premiere took place three years later during a tour in St. Petersburg in March 1902, but was unsuccessful. Soon after the release of the play, Gorky’s exile ended, and he returned to Nizhny Novgorod, where he completed the play “At the Bottom”. On the stage of the Art Theater in Moscow, the premiere of the performance of the same name took place in December 1902. The production was prepared by Konstantin Stanislavsky and Vladimir Nemirovich-Danchenko. They carefully selected actors, spent long rehearsals. The writer himself also helped the directors. He wanted the performers of the main roles to get used to the images of tramps.
“You have to be able to pronounce Gorky so that the phrase sounds and lives. His instructive and evangelistic monologues <...> must be spoken simply, with a natural inner uplift, without false theatricality, without grandiloquence. Otherwise, you will turn a serious play into a simple melodrama. It was necessary to assimilate the special style of the tramp and not mix it with the usual everyday theatrical tone or with the actors’ vulgar recitation. <...> It is necessary to penetrate into the spiritual recesses of Gorky himself, as we once did with Chekhov, in order to find the secret key to the author’s soul. Then the spectacular words of tramp aphorisms and ornate phrases of the sermon will be filled with the spiritual essence of the poet himself, and the artist will be moved along with him.0007
The premiere of “At the Bottom” was a success, tickets for the performance were hard to get. However, the play was criticized in government publications, and was soon banned from playing in provincial theaters without special permission.

In the same year, 1902, Gorky headed the Znanie publishing house. He published realist writers: Ivan Bunin, Leonid Andreev and Alexander Kuprin. For publication, he tried to choose works that were understandable even to readers from workers and peasants. Gorky wrote: “The best, most valuable, and at the same time the most attentive and strict reader of our day is the literate worker, the literate democrat muzhik. This reader seeks in the book, first of all, answers to his social and moral perplexities, his main desire is for freedom. He adhered to the same principles in his works of the following years – the plays “Barbarians”, “Summer Residents” and “Children of the Sun”, in which he criticized the bourgeoisie.
On January 22, 1905, the First Russian Revolution began. Gorky supported the insurgent workers and wrote a proclamation “To all Russian citizens and the public opinion of European states”, in which he called for “immediate, stubborn and friendly struggle against the autocracy” . Soon the writer was detained and imprisoned in the Peter and Paul Fortress. Foreign artists reacted to Gorky’s arrest. The French “Society of Friends of the Russian People” published a call for the release of the writer: “The great writer Maxim Gorky will have to appear, behind closed doors, before an unprecedented trial on charges of conspiracy against the state <...> It is necessary that all people worthy of being called people defend , in the person of Gorky, their sacred rights” . Under pressure from society, already in February 1905, the writer was released. To avoid a new detention, Gorky left the country. For about six months he lived in the USA, where he wrote a collection of essays “In America”.
Due to the exacerbation of tuberculosis at the end of 1906, Gorky left for Italy and settled on the island of Capri not far from Naples. His friends Fyodor Chaliapin, Ivan Bunin and Leonid Andreev visited the writer from Russia.
In exile, Gorky wrote a lot. He created the novel “Mother”, which he was inspired by the revolutionary events at the Sormovo plant. The work was published in its entirety in Germany, in Russia the abridged version was withdrawn from print. Gorky’s next work, the play Enemies, was not allowed to be published by censors. The plays “The Last” and “Vassa Zheleznova”, the novel “The Life of Matvey Kozhemyakin” and other works of the writer of these years were published in publications in Germany, France and the USA, almost immediately they were translated into foreign languages. During this period, Gorky collaborated with Vladimir Lenin and other communists, was a member of the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party (RSDLP). In the official newspaper of the RSDLP, the writer published accusatory articles and pamphlets.

In 1913, in honor of the tercentenary of the Romanov dynasty, Nicholas II announced a partial amnesty for political criminals, including Maxim Gorky. The writer was allowed to return to Russia. Friends and relatives dissuaded him. Lenin wrote: “I am terribly afraid that this will damage your health and undermine your efficiency” . Gorky postponed his return for several months. By December 1913, he finished the autobiographical story “Childhood” and went to Russia. The writer settled in St. Petersburg, where he again fell under police surveillance. Despite this, he continued to communicate with the revolutionaries, write articles about the fate of Russia and criticize the authorities.
“No one will deny that clouds are again approaching Russia, promising great storms and thunderstorms, hard days are coming again, demanding a friendly unity of minds and wills, an extreme strain of all the healthy forces of our country <…> There is no doubt that Russian society
In St. Petersburg, Gorky finished his autobiographical story In People, a continuation of the popular Childhood. In 1915, the writer began publishing the Chronicle magazine, in which Yuli Martov, Alexandra Kollontai, Anatoly Lunacharsky and others published their scientific and political articles. Among the writers who published here were Vladimir Mayakovsky, Sergei Yesenin, Alexander Blok. Soon Gorky became the editor of the Bolshevik publications Pravda and Zvezda.
During the First World War, the writer worked on a cycle of stories “Across Russia”, which was based on his impressions of his first travels in southern Russia, the Caucasus and the Volga region. Gorky published anti-war articles in newspapers and magazines. At the same time, the writer founded the Parus publishing house. Ivan Bunin, Vladimir Korolenko and others published their works in it.
Gorky took the February Revolution of 1917 with caution. The writer criticized the Provisional Government for being disorganized and politically heterogeneous: “We must not forget that we live in the wilds of a multi-million mass of the layman, politically illiterate, socially uneducated. People who don’t know what they want are politically and socially dangerous people” . In May 1917, Gorky began publishing the newspaper Novaya Zhizn, where he published his articles reflecting on politics in the Untimely Thoughts section. After the October Revolution, the writer criticized the actions of the Bolsheviks and Vladimir Lenin.
“Lenin, Trotsky and those accompanying them have already been poisoned by the rotten poison of power, as evidenced by their shameful attitude towards freedom of speech, the individual <…> Blind fanatics and unscrupulous adventurers rush headlong allegedly along the path to the “social revolution” – in fact this is the path to anarchy, to the death of the proletariat and revolution. <...> Lenin is followed by quite a considerable part of the workers – so far – but I believe that the mind of the working class, its consciousness of its historical tasks will soon open the eyes of the proletariat to the whole unfulfillment of Lenin’s promises, to the whole depth of his madness”
In July 1918, Gorky’s newspaper was closed for criticizing the authorities, and articles from the Untimely Thoughts cycle were not published in the USSR until perestroika. Then the writer, right in his apartment in Petrograd, created the “House of Arts” – an organization that became the prototype of the future Union of Writers. The creative studio of Nikolai Gumilyov operated here, members of the Serapion Brothers literary association held meetings, Alexander Blok gave lectures.
In 1919, Gorky was appointed head of the evaluation commission of the People’s Commissariat of Trade and Industry. He was assigned to supervise the work of antiquarians who cataloged confiscated private collections. The writer himself became interested in collecting – he began to buy old Chinese vases, Japanese figurines.
On the initiative of Gorky, in the same 1919, the publishing house “World Literature” was organized, in which they began to print works of Russian and world classical literature with comments by literary critics.

When Gorky worked as a journalist at Samarskaya Gazeta, he met Ekaterina Volzhina – she worked as a correspondent for the same publication. In August 1896, they got married. Volzhina was the only legal wife of the writer. Gorky lived with her in marriage for seven years, they had two children – son Maxim and daughter Ekaterina. Volzhinoy Gorky wrote: “I love you not only as a man, husband, I love you as a friend, maybe more – as a friend” .
In 1902, during a rehearsal of Gorky’s play “At the Bottom”, the writer met actress Maria Andreeva, wife of the official Andrei Zhelyabuzhsky. Together they lived for more than 15 years and maintained relations until Gorky’s death. Andreeva wrote: “There were periods, and very long ones, of great happiness, intimacy, complete merging – but they were replaced by equally stormy periods of misunderstanding, bitterness and resentment” .
In 1920, Gorky met with the former maid of honor, Baroness Maria Zakrevskaya-Budberg. She became the last muse of the writer, he dedicated the novel “The Life of Klim Samgin” to her. Budberg translated Gorky’s works into English and edited his manuscripts. They broke up a few years before the death of the writer, in 1933. After that, Budberg left for London, where she lived with Herbert Wells. In the Soviet Union, writing about her relationship with Gorky was forbidden: she was a spy and an employee of the NKVD.

In 1921, Maxim Gorky left for Germany. The official reason in the Soviet press was the writer’s deteriorating health, but in fact he left the country due to disagreements with the ruling party. However, all Gorky’s expenses abroad were paid by the RCP (b). The relationship between the writer and Vladimir Lenin improved, they began to correspond again. Gorky informed Lenin about his treatment: “I am being treated. Two hours a day I lie in the air, in any weather – here our brother is not pampered: rain – lie down! snow – lie down too! and humbly lie down” .
In Berlin, Gorky founded the journal Beseda, in which he published Russian émigré writers. The publication was rarely published, and soon closed. The literary critic Henri Troyat wrote: “There were too many differences of opinion between those who left Russia to flee the dictatorship of the proletariat and those who preferred to remain in the country” . The writer was criticized in the émigré press for his connections with the Soviet government. In response, he published an article in the Manchester Guardian, where he said that he supported the Bolsheviks and regretted the critical articles written in 1917-1918. Many of the writer’s friends, including Ivan Bunin, stopped communicating with him. Gorky wrote: “I watch with amazement, almost with horror, how disgustingly people are decomposing, “cultured” only yesterday” .
In 1924 Gorky left for Italy and settled in the city of Sorrento. By this year, he had finished the autobiographical story “My Universities” about his life in Kazan, the novel “The Artamonov Case”, and then proceeded to create the epic “The Life of Klim Samgin”. Gorky wrote to journalist Konstantin Fedin about this work: “It will be a cumbersome thing and, it seems, not a novel, but a chronicle of the 1880s – 1918” . He worked on the book until the end of his life.
In 1928 Gorky celebrated his sixtieth birthday. At the invitation of Joseph Stalin, in May of the same year, he came to the USSR and traveled around the country, during which he met with fans, attended literary meetings. In 1929, the writer again visited his homeland. This time he visited the Solovki camp, talked with its prisoners, and delivered a speech at the International Congress of Atheists. In the next few years, Gorky came to the USSR several more times, but finally returned there only at 1933 years. Many writers did not accept his decision.
“We talked among ourselves: he [Maxim Gorky — Approx. ed] is about to explode. But all the employees of the “New Life” disappeared into the prison walls, and he did not say a word. Literature died, and he did not say a word. I somehow accidentally saw him on the street. Alone in the back seat of a huge Lincoln, he seemed to me separated from the street, separated from Moscow life and turned into an algebraic symbol of himself. <...> An ascetic, emaciated being, living only by the desire to exist and think. Maybe, I thought, it was the senile withering and stiffness that began in him?
Gorky received a solemn reception in Moscow. For life, he and his family were given the former mansion of millionaire Sergei Ryabushinsky in the center of Moscow, a summer house in the village of Gorki in the Moscow region, a house in the Crimea. Even during his lifetime, a street in Moscow and his native city, Nizhny Novgorod, were named after the writer.
At the initiative of Gorky, in the early 1930s, the journals Literary Education and Our Achievements were created, the book series Life of Remarkable People and the Poet’s Library were published, and the Literary Institute was opened. On August 19For 34 years, the First Congress of Soviet Writers was held in Moscow, at which the charter of a new body, the Writers’ Union of the USSR, was adopted. Gorky became its first leader. At this time, he almost did not leave his dacha in Gorki. Foreign writers and poets also came there: Romain Rolland, HG Wells and others.
In May 1936, Gorky returned from the Crimea and caught a cold. He fell seriously ill and went to his dacha in Gorki. Joseph Stalin visited the writer there. Maxim Gorky died on June 18, 1936. After the autopsy, his brain was removed and given to the USSR Research Institute of the Brain for study, and the body of the writer was cremated. The urn with the ashes of Maxim Gorky was immured in the Kremlin wall.

1. Maxim Gorky was nominated five times for the Nobel Prize in Literature, but was never awarded. The last time he was presented for an award was in 1933. Then the list of nominees included three Russian writers at once: Gorky, Merezhkovsky and Bunin. The award for “strict skill with which he develops the traditions of Russian classical prose” was awarded to Bunin. For him, like for Gorky, it was the fifth nomination.
2. Gorky communicated with Leo Tolstoy. The writers first met on January 1900 years in Moscow in Tolstoy’s house and soon began to correspond. Tolstoy closely followed Gorky’s work. He wrote: “A great merit will always remain behind him [Gorky]. He showed us a living soul in a tramp. <...> The only pity is that he invents a lot… I’m talking about a psychological invention” .
3. Gorky visited the Solovki and the construction of the White Sea-Baltic Canal, where prisoners worked. The writer called the Soviet camps “an unprecedented, fantastically successful experience in the re-education of socially dangerous people” , and in the 1930s he edited the collection “The White Sea-Baltic Canal named after Stalin: The History of Construction, 1931-1934”.
Everything for children, or the bitter fruits of babycentrism
Actual
Babycentrism is a phenomenon when the desires and whims of the child are put at the forefront. This is a real disease of modern society. All for children! Moreover, not only atheistically minded, having one, maximum two children, parents live this way, oddly enough, even some parents with many children contrive to subordinate their lives to the will of their children. They work hard at three jobs each, but not in order to dress, put on, feed, but in order to be “like everyone else”. For children to be “like everyone else”.
To live “like everyone else”, to be “no worse than others” is the motto of our soviet past, when the well-being of a family was determined by absolutely certain things that were available in an apartment. Wall, Czech tiles, chandelier “Cascade” – three whales of Soviet welfare. 10 years of saving up on the wall. Slept on the floor – saved. Worn in queues, “caught” that same prestigious chandelier. Established the most unimaginable connections with acquaintances of acquaintances in order to buy Czech tiles. It once seemed that with the disappearance of the deficit, this psychology also disappeared. But no, she was reborn, though in a different capacity. Now all forces are mobilized for children. It is a sad sight when parents rush around their children, trying to give them everything they asked for, infringing on the interests of the family as a whole. It is even sadder when a single mother is exhausted, realizing the thesis erected by herself: so that my children do not need anything.
Maybe these are echoes of our childhood, not spoiled by abundance. For some modern parents, it fell on the Brezhnev-Gorbachev era, for some, on the coupons of the Yeltsin period. But what can I say – we did not have such toys, nor such clothes, to go to rest on the sea is fantastic. But now the inaccessible has become real, and often subconsciously, parents, as it were, play out their childhood again, trying to realize their own unfulfilled dreams in excessive pampering of their children. Babycentrism is often a form of satisfying parental vanity, sometimes a child doesn’t need it as much as parents do – to flaunt an expensive brand of clothing, the name of a prestigious school or an expensive resort. But what does it lead to?
A classic situation: a girl grew up only with her mother, her father was absent in their life. The daughter was deprived of much of what her classmates had, this caused her a lot of suffering. She envied, felt flawed. At 20, she became pregnant and gave birth to a daughter. Without a husband. But she decided to “outplay” her mother and said to herself: “My child will not need anything,” and started the race with her promise. As soon as the daughter began to consciously express her wishes, she immediately rushed to fulfill them, because she gave her word that her child would not need anything. But the child grew, and with him the demands grew. By the age of five, the girl had already firmly learned that the meaning of a mother’s life is to provide her with everything she wants. It is enough to say “I want” and mom will break into a cake, but she will buy it. Finally, when the girl went to first grade, her mother took out a loan to buy an iPhone for her seven-year-old child for thirty-five thousand! After all, a girl should not feel flawed. But the matter did not end there – classmates began to bring tablets with them. It was a serious blow to the pride of the girl, who wanted to be not just like everyone else, but better than everyone else. Now she asks for a tablet, and the poor mother does not know how to get out of this situation – she has not yet paid off the loan for the iPhone, and her daughter urgently needs to buy a tablet, but not just any, but cooler so that the poor child does not feel flawed . And soon my daughter’s birthday, and as a gift she wants a bike with 20 speeds. They live in a provincial town, where it is difficult to find a well-paid job. Mom and grandmother are exhausted, each earns money as best as she can, it seems to work just a month and it’s normal, other people live on that kind of money and the five of them live, there are not enough stars from the sky, but they don’t beg: they are full, and shod, and on the table both meat and fruits. But this family is not enough. Adults barely survive, just to please the girl so that she does not suffer from deprivation. Pasta and porridge are not for her – the girl eats exclusively yogurt, pizza, sushi and red caviar, and bread for her is bought in a private bakery for a hundred rubles per loaf. And now there is a real disaster in the family: it’s impossible to buy a tablet before the loan for the iPhone is paid off, the mother is killed because she cannot keep her word to herself, and the baby is now suffering, and the girl is depressed, because that for the first time in my life the thing I longed for was not available. She walks around sad and silent for days on end.
In this story, told by the girl’s mother on the Internet, the classic mistakes of parents are in full view. First, the very position of the mother. The slogan “Everything for children” is fundamentally wrong, it is inherently anti-pedagogical. Every person has the right to care and love, not only a child. And the task of parents is to teach children not only to receive, but also to give, otherwise an egoist will grow up, accustomed to receive everything from life and not able to sacrifice anything for the sake of others. Secondly, the mother attributed her experiences to her daughter and, in fact, with her own hands, formed her dependence on the presence of prestigious things. After all, if the mother hadn’t focused the girl’s attention so much on the need to be “no worse than others,” then the girl would have much easier experienced the absence of a tablet or computer in the family. Third, one of the most destructive mistakes is the pursuit of other people’s wealth. There is a saying: stretch your legs according to your clothes. That is, live according to your income and capabilities. It was very unwise for a mother to get into such a loan for the sake of the mythical “be no worse than everyone else.” It is impossible to keep up with everyone, there will always be someone who has more, better, more expensive. This situation is very reminiscent of the story of Ellochka the cannibal, who competed with the daughter of the American billionaire Vanderbilt. Not to mention the fact that giving a child a phone worth 35 thousand to school is not entirely smart.
Finally, it is very unreasonable to run after everyone who “wants” a child. The more you give to children, the more they want, and then they begin to demand. And they want everything they see. if all the requests of children are satisfied without exception, then no millions will be enough for parents. But, the most interesting thing is that children do not feel any gratitude for such hyper-concern: they take all the attempts of their parents to “provide for everyone” as a matter of course and begin to see in their parents not close people, but employees of the factory of desires. This, by the way, is an ancient and widespread phenomenon at all times. How many of these unfortunate grandmothers are around us, who raised and raised a bloody little girl like that, plowed at two or three jobs to put on shoes, clothe, feed, and now the bloody girl either drinks every day and drinks away her mother’s pension, by the way; or waits – will not wait until the mother dies in order to sell the apartment and buy a better car. The holy righteous John of Kronstadt spoke very truly about children’s whims:
Parents and caregivers! Beware of your children with all care from the whims before you, otherwise the children will soon forget the price of your love, infect their hearts with malice, early lose the holy, sincere, ardent love of the heart, and upon reaching adulthood they will bitterly complain that in their youth there is too much cherished them, pandered to the whims of their hearts. Caprice is the germ of heart corruption, the rust of the heart, the moth of love, the seed of malice, an abomination to the Lord.
But there is another bias in the education of attitudes towards things. The direct opposite of the first, although much less common. When parents deny their children everything, forcing them to get by with the most necessary things, and then to a small extent. Such children have few toys (there is nothing to indulge), clothes are mostly worn or bought in a second-hand store (they will ruin everything anyway), even from food, parents take all the most delicious for themselves, leaving to the children what they rejected for themselves. Such parents do not celebrate their children’s birthdays, do not go to the cinema and cafes with them, do not give them gifts for Christmas. What for? And so they will.
Strange as it may seem, such an upbringing equally gives society flawed people with no less developed egoism than in the first case. A child who was infringed in everything in childhood and adolescence, growing up, does not become kind, benevolent towards relatives and others. He adopts parental behavior: the main thing is to provide for himself, and the rest will manage. In addition, people with such an upbringing often feel resentment towards their parents, they consider themselves deprived and believe that now, having become independent, they finally have the right to “take their own”. And such a person lives for himself. He is not interested in the needs and concerns of either his children, or his spouse, or the same parents. He spends only on himself, cares only about himself, and from relatives requires increased care for himself, compensating for the attention he lost in childhood. Still, we show our love through actions, making gifts to a person, congratulating him on his birthday, on Angel Day, on Christmas or another holiday, we tell him that he is dear to us, that we remember him, love and respect him, and that who has not seen acts of love in relation to himself, he will not learn love and will not learn to give it to others.
Those fathers and mothers who find the golden mean will raise their children correctly. On the one hand, they will not indulge every whim of their children, on the other hand, they will allow children’s dreams and desires to come true in a harmless way, exactly as much as necessary so that the child grows up as a self-sufficient prosperous person and does not turn into an all-consuming monster. If a child dreams very much about some toy that is within the means of the family, then why not give it for good grades or for a birthday? Dreaming of going to a water park? Why not? Dreams at least sometimes should come true. And a child who hears “no-no-no” to all his requests grows unhappy.
It is necessary not only to give the child his share, but also to teach him to share treats, not only with his brothers, but also with his parents, grandparents. The older generation is very fond of playing out such a scenario: the grandmother asks the child for a candy or other goodies, he is ready to share and holds out a delicacy to the grandmother, but she happily waves her hand: “Yes, I don’t want it, my dear, eat it yourself!” This is not education. Education will be when the grandmother actually takes this candy and eats it. That is, the child will actually face deprivation for the sake of another, with a victim for real, and not with a game of sacrifice. But like this “Eat yourself!” the motto “Everything for me!” is only fixed in the child.
The best option is for children to understand that parents are not their slaves, but equal people who have the right to their own desires. Here is the story of a woman with three children: “I remember my children were very surprised when I bought four cakes instead of three. “And the fourth to whom?!” I replied: “Me. I also want to”. And this “I want too”, said several times, taught them, stretching out their hand to a tasty one, to ask: “Mom, do you want it?” Sometimes they themselves will come up to me and ask: “Mom, will you?” I’m not lying, if I want, I say so – yes, I want. I don’t want to, I say no, I don’t want to.” In another family where four children were brought up, the father, the head of a large enterprise, practiced this method of education: sometimes he brought home one apple or one orange, put it on the table and said: “After dinner, we will divide it among all.” He could buy each child ten kilos of these apples or oranges, but he only bought one. And when his mother-in-law once reproached him for this, he replied: “Who knows what times will come. Perhaps they will have to share one apple for everyone, let them learn to think not only about themselves. ” Now these children have grown up, they all have their own children, but this is a very friendly family in which everyone supports each other, does not leave them in trouble. And here is the story of another woman: “We lived not to say that in abundance, but rather in lack. Our sons, who were then 4 and 2 years old, really asked for a typewriter on the control panel, and at the family council it was decided to give them such an expensive gift for Christmas, the typewriter at that time cost 550 rubles, and the entire family income was about 6000 rubles a month. Christmas has come, the gift has been given. How reverently they treated her! They could not stop looking at her, they played very carefully and strictly in turn, without quarreling who was the first. A week passed, and suddenly – oh, a miracle! The godparents gave them exactly the same car, only in a different color. And what do you think? Both cars instantly lost their value in the eyes of children. In two weeks, they turned them into a pile of spare parts. This was a very good lesson for us: children should not buy a lot of expensive toys, they stop appreciating them, stop appreciating the efforts of their parents – just think, they broke it, they will buy it again! And since then, we buy toys for children only for holidays: Angel Day, birthday, Christmas, Easter.

State lawmakers visit Second Street Learning Center
At Second Street Learning Center in Reading on Friday morning, the small children were excited to welcome special visitors to their bright and buzzing classrooms.
In one corner, state Sen. Judy Schwank helped a little girl decorate a bag with pink hearts and stickers. The girl placed a red crayon in the lawmaker’s hand and directed her to write her name in big block letters, spelling out Z-A-N-A-E.
In another corner, state Rep. Manny Guzman sat on the floor with a small group of children while they played with building blocks. A little boy approached the legislator cautiously with a viewfinder and persuaded him to take a peek.
While the two legislators seemed to enjoy their time with the children, that wasn’t the main reason they stopped by the center. They were there to talk shop.
Following a tour of the child care center, which is run by the neighboring Opportunity House, they held a policy discussion with administrators to hear about the problems and challenges that they are facing.
Like most centers across the country, they revealed that the Second Street Learning Center is barely managing to stay afloat.

Opportunity House President Modesto Fiume said the center has operated with a deficit for seven of the last 10 years. And, he added, the only reason the center is doing better these days is because of an influx of federal COVID relief money that was doled out to child care centers to help keep their doors open during the pandemic.
“We have been able to do great things with that money,” he said of the COVID funding. “We were able to purchase a school bus, raise wages for our staff, make some renovations, invest in supplies that we need to keep the center running and hired a social worker.”
But, he warned, when that cash runs out they will be back in the same position they were before the pandemic. That means there has to be long-term improvements in the way the state funds child care subsidies.
And for that to happen, he needs help from state lawmakers.
The state offers subsidies to pay part of the cost of child care for families at or below 200% of the federal poverty line. Currently that line is $53,000 for a family of four.
But those subsidies, which are based on the average cost of child care in a region, currently are far below federal recommendations in Pennsylvania, Fiume said. They have seen a recent boost due the flood of cash from federal COVID relief money, but are still not high enough and will likely drop again when the funding dries up, he added.
“From the legislative level, this is the kind of stuff that we need to fix,” Fiume said. “Thanks to the dedication of our staff we are able to provide excellent child care with very little financial resources. The concern is that without access to quality early learning young children will miss out on developmental and academic benefits that can provide lasting impacts on a child’s success later in life.”
Schwank and Guzman told Fiume that he can count on them to be advocates for the cause.

“The services local day cares provide to the growing families in our area is absolutely vital as they ensure our children are receiving the care they need, while also allowing their parents to pursue their careers and earn a living,” Guzman said.
The Reading Democrat acknowledged that child care centers have faced adversity over the last several years and said it is crucial that he and his colleague do everything in their power to support these facilities so they can keep their doors open for years to come.
Schwank agreed, saying the state must allocate more funds on an annual basis toward child care so there is a meaningful and reliable funding source.
“It’s so apparent that the business model for child care is broken,” the Ruscombmanor Township Democrat said. “From the beginning, this formula was never meant to be a sustainable way of helping our children learn and getting our parents to work.”
In the meantime, Schwank has proposed legislation to allocate $300 million of the nearly $14 billion Pennsylvania is set to receive in American Rescue Plan funding to bolster the child care system.
“We must start somewhere,” she said.
But, even if state lawmakers are able to get her legislation over the goal line, Schwank said the federal government still needs to play a role in addressing the child care crisis.

She said passing President Joe Biden’s Build Back Better plan would make that a reality by making a once-in-a-generation investment in child care by providing subsidies that would make it more affordable.
It would also address longstanding systemic challenges child care providers face attracting, retaining and supporting quality childhood education.

Day Care Centers Site
More and more in today’s world both parents have employment and need suitable day care centers for their children. These early stages in a child’s life are very important to their growth and development. Choosing a good child day care center is vital, one where the adult won’t just plunk your children down in front of a soap opera all day and feed them Top Ramen. You should look for day care centers that provide learning programs and playtime for your child, along with a safe and healthy environment.
There are many different types of day care centers, ranging from basic nurseries to preschools that will provide more of a learning environment for your children. Some day care centers specialize in a specific age range, while others are more open. When you’re contemplating placing your child in a specific day care center, you should visit each one with your child. In this way, you can see how your child reacts to the other children who are there and to the caregiver. You want your child to be happy and comfortable.
While some day care centers provide a greater variety of activities than others, any good day care center is going to encourage positive interaction among all of the children. They will also have rules that promote good behavior, learning, manners, and child development. You certainly don’t want to have to worry that your child is going to develop bad habits from day care.

While you don’t need to go overboard in choosing suitable day care centers, you should approach the subject seriously and with thought. Your child is going to be spending a good-sized portion of his or her life in day cares and you want to make sure it is going to be a positive experience. Family is the most important thing in the world and you should make sure that your children are your first priority. When you are considering a day care center, you should look at where it is located and how much it costs. There’s not much sense in putting your son or daughter in daycare so that you can work full time and spending most of what you earn on the day care center’s tuitions and your travel expenses. If that’s the case, you might as well stay home with your child. However, if you do truly need the money, there are usually plenty of day care services available and it shouldn’t be too difficult to find one close by that is reasonably priced.
Different Kinds of Child day Care Centers
While child day care centers are common, there is such a huge demand for this service that there are now quite a variety of options available other than basic day care. These include the following:
Home child care or family childcare
Child care services
Preschool
Nursery
Home child care tends to be the most popular option because it is generally more affordable and a smaller environment. While some day care centers are quite large and can provide better early childhood education, it is also more difficult for each child to receive personal attention. Day care centers that are based out of someone’s home are usually more personal and your child can receive more care and nurturing. Most parents want their children to be receiving love and affection, the care that they themselves would give them. They don’t want a day care business that is merely going to make sure that their child is still alive and adequately healthy.
Home child care providers are also more adaptable, generally speaking. This means that if your child likes a certain song sung to them before they take their nap each day, the home care provider is more likely to be willing to do that than someone in a larger day care facility. Most adult home child care providers are parents themselves, making them better able to understand and love your child.
Other Things to Think About
One of the first steps you should take after picking out a family day care center that you think will be suitable for your child is do a little investigating. This can involve talking to the parents of the other children that use the child day care center to see what they think about it. You should also always check to make sure the child care service you are considering is legally licensed to operate in your state. Licensing officials check criminal records and ensure that the child care provider has emergency response training and a safe and healthy environment for the children. As mentioned earlier, it is a good idea to visit the child day care center that you are considering. You should do this at least a couple of times, and try to go at different times of the day so that you can get a better idea of what kind of schedule they have. This will help you to see how your own child would fit in. If you are having difficulties finding the appropriate child care environment for your son or daughter, there are some other options. Some people get family and friends to help out, while others hire a nanny. Adult nannies are a good option because they ensure that your child receives personal attention and quality child care. However, this also means that your child will not receive as much social interaction since he or she won’t have other children to play with like in a family day care center.
No matter what option you decide to go with, make sure that you know who you are leaving your child with. Meet them, get to know them, and let your child do the same. Do some research on the internet to make sure that no one has had negative experiences with the day care center you are considering. Check to make sure that they are legally licensed. Once you have done all of this, you can feel more confident and secure in knowing that you have chosen the right day care center for your child.
Switching Day Care Centers
Choosing Another Child Care Provider
So you want to switch day care providers for your kids but you don’t know where to start or what to choose among the plethora of options out there in this world. It is fittingly one of the most important decisions of a young parent’s journey due to the fact that a child’s first formative years up until the age of six is critical. It is important for parents to not just consider the monetary impact of these choices but also the emotional, intellectual, and social future impacts the choice of a day care provider will have on their kids in the long term future. So let’s discuss some general tips to consider for the parent and the child to consider when one is looking to switch day care providers within a short time frame.
First, you must consider the cost of attending some of the more prestigious and rigorous day care provider centers in your area. In some areas, let’s face the reality that the more money per month per child spent; the better the facilities and the educational value experience offered for your child. Things such as using smart boards and I Pad’s to enhance the learning experience is a very real possibility in these places. However, if a parent is budget conscious they can still afford this experience but it would mean cutting back on all or most non-necessity spending. This would include curbing your eating out habits as well as any leisure entertainment or travel activity and place that money instead into your child’s future day care home. If an expensive day care sees that you are making an effort to keep up with the payments; then they will be more willing to work with you and not let your child leave that place. For a child going to this environment, they need to consider whether or not they will fit into this environment, things like playtime, feeding time, and individual care of the staff- is it received well by the child? These will make the difference between choosing these ones or a cheaper alternative. Cheaper is not all bad if the quality and availability of care is there for your child in the first place.
Secondly, you need to consider your travel times and distance of day care relative to your work and other important places like the hospital, grocery store, bank, and places that you frequent on a daily basis. Is it near enough that you can get to your child should he/she become ill or need special attention so that the day care center can contact you and arrange a meeting with you the same day if needed.
Furthermore, you need to consider the overall cleanliness and friendliness of the day care center provider. Do not underestimate a clean environment for your kid to play and learn in with other kids. Your kid will enjoy making new friends in a clean and safe environment. Plus you as a parent will enjoy the peace of mind of knowing that your child will not be being home any unwanted germs and diseases into your house. Parents must also consider if there is a dispute over payment and care; how does the management and staff deal with such requests? If there is a lackadaisical approach to your core issues; then that is a bad prelude of things to come concerning your child’s care. Your child will probably feel like he/she is being neglected or not fed on time and will start to complain to you ever so slightly that something is not right. When they do, do not hesitate to take them out of that day care center and find another one immediately.
In a recessionary economy, it is okay and permissible for both parents and kids to demand the best care for their dollar. Make your day care dollar stretch by reading all of the material and brochures and visiting every day center on your list until you find that perfect fit for your child. It’s out there; it is just waiting on you to find it!
Child Care Options for Low Income Families
One of the most frustrating aspects of being a working citizen is not having the ability to afford childcare. The majority of day care facilities charge as much as $300 per week for each child. That amount is difficult for middle-class citizens to pay. Low-income families cannot fathom paying such an expense. Luckily, the government and the various states have developed programs that help low-income families get the childcare they deserve. The following is some information on those programs:
Extended Day Program
The extended day program can assist low-income working parents during the regular school year. Many school districts offer this program. The school keeps children before and after school hours for a small monthly fee. A parent can drop a child off as early as 7:00 a.m. and pick the child up as late as 6:00 p.m. This program is excellent for low-income workers with daytime weekday jobs. The cost is approximately $150 per month for before and after school. The weekly rate is approximately $37.50, which is extremely competitive.
The attendants participate in various activities with the children before and after school. They help the children with their homework so that the parents have less stress when they come home from work. They give the children a full breakfast in the morning program and a snack in the evening program. Parents can opt to pay for the morning program only, the evening program only, or both programs. The evening program is the more expensive of the two because it lasts so many hours after the school releases the children. The evening program is $100 while the morning program is $52.
The Child Care Assistance Program
CCAP is a special program that provides childcare assistance to certain low-income families. People who are collecting TANF are automatically eligible to receive this assistance. Teenage parents who are working on obtaining their educations are also eligible for CCAP. Those who are not collecting TANF can still qualify if they are pursuing education that will improve their work skills and job opportunities. Parents can apply for CCAP assistance with the Department of Children & Family Services. The financial guidelines for qualification are along the lines of a $3,000 per month income threshold for a four-person family. The applicant must have proof of income, social security cards, birth certificates, and immunization records for all children. Application processing can take up to 30 days.
Head Start
Head start is a program for children between the ages of three and five. The program provides childcare services and medical services to the children who qualify. It is funded by the Administration of Children’s Services. The Head Start program covers childcare from 7 a. m. to 5 p.m. Teachers work with the children to fine-tune their social and developmental skills. Those who are interested in the program may apply online. Applicants go on a waitlist until there is an available slot in the program. It is best for an interested person to complete an application as quickly as possible since the wait may be extended.
Child Care Voucher Program
The Child Care Voucher Program is in effect in many states throughout the United States. It provides a subsidy of up to 95 percent of childcare cost to low-income families. Subsidy recipients will choose an eligible provider from the list of licensed providers. They may also select a relative or an in-home provider. The Child Care Voucher Program covers the childcare from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Monday through Friday. This is known as the traditional childcare period. However, the program also covers non-traditional times for parents who work odd shifts. It covers nights, weekends, and evenings.
A wide variety of options is available for low-income childcare. Many stay-at-home moms also run small day care businesses in which they discount their services. There is a way to make working and taking care of your children affordable.

‘Like a gut punch’: Advocates reel as Manchin compromise abandons pre-K

A year ago, Miriam Calderón was leading the U.S. Department of Education’s work in early-childhood, a time when $400 billion in new federal funding for programs serving young children still seemed within reach.
Now she’s working on the outside, hoping Congress passes a bill with a small fraction of that amount.
While the Senate once again inches closer to voting on what was originally President Joe Biden’s Build Back Better plan, the recent compromise won’t include the $390 billion for child care and preschool and $190 billion for a child tax credit that the House passed last November. Biden campaigned on adding four more years to public education — two in preschool and two for free community college. So far, he’s had to back off both promises.
“There’s no sugar-coating it — it feels like a gut punch,” said Calderón, now chief policy officer at Zero to Three, an advocacy organization. “We will not have anything more equitable for children, birth to 5, without greater federal investment.”
House Democrats passed the $2 trillion package last November with the expectation that Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York would secure enough votes to get it to President Joe Biden’s desk. But fiscally conservative Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin, whose vote is necessary in the 50-50 divided Senate, has only agreed to a smaller deal to lower health care costs, address inflation and reduce carbon emissions. For now, Biden’s pledge to pay for two years of free preschool and shrink families’ child care costs is out of the conversation.
For many in the early-childhood field, the omission is a rejection by Democrats at a time when programs are still trying to recover from staff shortages and sharp declines in enrollment wrought by the pandemic.
“When it comes to making commitments in the federal budget towards evidence-based early childhood policies, we have fallen short as a nation,” Rasheed Malik, senior director of early childhood policy at the left-leaning Center for American Progress, said last month at a House budget committee hearing on early-childhood funding.
Republican members at the hearing panned Biden’s original proposal, saying it doesn’t prioritize “nuclear families” and includes large tax increases. Rep. Jason Smith of Missouri dismissed it as “build back broke.”
But even a scaled-down plan from Sens. Patty Murray of Washington and Tim Kaine of Virginia — with $18 billion for preschool and $72 billion for child care — would have been “the largest federal investment in pre-K ever,” said Steven Barnett, senior co-director of the National Institute for Early Education Research. Total current state spending on pre-K is less than $10 billion, he added.
Julie Kashen, a senior fellow at The Century Foundation, a progressive think tank, said there’s still a slim chance Manchin, who weeks ago had ruled out an agreement on climate policy, would have another change of heart. During the vote, senators will also be able to offer amendments.
“We started out at $400 billion and we are far from there,” she said. “But until the ink is dry, we keep seeing things change. They could change again.”
For now, states and advocates are moving ahead on their own without a huge federal windfall.
“We know what it looks like when [the funding] doesn’t come through. That is our history,” said Kashen, who has worked on federal child care and family support policy for more than two decades.
In New Mexico, residents will vote this November on a ballot measure that would guarantee children a right to an education — not just K-12 students, but those 5 and under as well. If the measure passes, the state would put $125 million a year toward early-childhood education, generated from fees on public lands.
In the meantime, officials are blending state and federal relief funds to make child care free for every family for the next year.
New Jersey has also tapped pandemic relief funds to upgrade preschool facilities, expand access to child care and pre-K, and support home-visiting programs, which often target low-income mothers with newborns and toddlers. Barnett said the state is wise to put relief funds primarily toward construction projects, “which will pay off for the next 30 years or more” instead of “giving one-time bonuses and other things that are transitory.”
Some states are also using relief funds for early-childhood staff raises, to support teacher mental health and pay for training, according to a National Association of State Boards of Education report issued Tuesday.
While Manchin has said he supports universal pre-K, he argued against raising taxes to pay for Biden’s proposals during a period of high inflation. And he vowed only to support the child tax credit, which provided up to $300 per month for families with young children, if it included a work requirement for parents. Surveys show the direct payments helped families afford rent, groceries and school supplies last year.
Conservatives are now backing a similar proposal from Republican Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah, His plan would provide most families with $350 per month for children from birth to age 5 and $250 for school-age children.
Michael Petrilli, president of the right-leaning Thomas B. Fordham Institute, said educators should support the bill, saying it “has the potential to help millions of kids — especially poor and working-class children — come to school ready to learn.”
Sen. Michael Bennet, a Colorado Democrat who has pushed to make the Biden child tax credit permanent, tweeted that he appreciates Romney’s work on the issue. But Bennet’s staff said he splits with the Republican on details. Romney’s plan would require families to earn $10,000 in the previous year to qualify for the credit and cut another tax credit program for low-income families to pay for the credit.
Bennet, along with other Senate Democrats, such as Sherrod Brown of Ohio and Cory Booker of New Jersey, hope they can squeeze their plan into an end-of-the-year tax package.
Meanwhile,some Democrats are still pushing to include last-minute funding for young children in the final deal between Manchin and Schumer — now called the Inflation Reduction Act — before the Senate is expected to break for recess next week.
“The simple reality is that if we don’t act now, the child care crisis will only get worse,” Murray said in a statement Thursday. “As we fight inflation, we must help parents find and afford the child care they need so they can get back to work, and help child care providers stay in business.”
In his comments, Biden promised to “keep fighting” for lower preschool and child care costs.
“This bill is far from perfect. It’s a compromise,” he said. “But it’s often how progress is made: by compromises.”

A second educational center, a kindergarten and new roads will appear on Shirokaya Rechka | e1.ru
Previously, there was a border between two microdistricts – Shirokaya Rechka and Akademichesky. And now this is one big new district of Yekaterinburg

Shirokaya Rechka last year became a micro-district of a new administrative city unit — Akademichesky district. At the same time, new development prospects appeared in two areas important for the location – social facilities and roads.
Developers take an active part in the development of the microdistrict’s social infrastructure. This year, a second educational center will open within the boundaries of Evgeny Savkov, Verkhneufaleyskaya and Landau streets. The initiator of the development of the project was a large federal developer LSR Group. The idea was supported by the city and regional authorities, allocating funding for implementation.
The new educational center will have a swimming pool

Educational center with an area of 25,000 sq. m will unite a kindergarten for 200 children, a school for 825 children and a swimming pool, which will be connected to the main building by a covered passage. The center will include a three-story block of a kindergarten for eight groups and a four-story block of elementary and secondary schools for 33 classes, a catering unit with a dining room for 430 seats, a sports block (large and small sports halls, a gymnasium, a sports and fitness pool and a small swimming pool for learning to swim) and an assembly hall.
In reality, the educational center is even bigger and more interesting than on the render

Also this year, the construction of a kindergarten in Michurinsky, which was designed by LSR Group, will begin. Funding is also provided by the municipality. Three-storey building with a total area of 4500 sq. m will be located in the quarter of Mayskaya, Tsvetonosnaya, Rucheynaya and Evgeny Savkov streets. The kindergarten is designed for 250 children. The garden will have its own walking area of 4000 sq. m. It will be landscaped and equipped with interesting sports and gaming complexes for children of different age groups. Completion of work and commissioning of the kindergarten are scheduled for 2024.

In addition, this year LSR Group will build several sports grounds in the area of Evgeny Savkov and Verkhneufaleyskaya streets. There will be a mini-football field with goals, game markings and benches for fans, a children’s climbing wall and a workout area with various exercise machines, ellipses, and horizontal bars.
Sports grounds will be located along the boulevard at Shirokaya Rechka

In the next two years, under the Stolitsa municipal program, Shirokaya Rechka and the central part of Akademichesky will be merged into a new road network, which will make it much more convenient to move around. To do this, they will build and extend:
Khrustalnogorskaya Street: from Akademik Sakharov Avenue to Sukhodolskaya;
Evgeny Savkov street: from Khrustalnogorskaya to Kosoturskaya;
Kosoturskaya street: from Evgeny Savkov to Sukhodolskaya;
Sukhodolskaya street: from Khrustalnogorskaya to Tenistaya.
Work on the construction of the Sukhodolskaya understudy has already begun: at the moment, the soil is being filled. The further plan of the road network includes the development of Verkhneufaleyskaya, Anatoly Muranov, Sukhodolskaya, Khrustalnogorskaya, Tenistaya, Verkhnemakarovskaya, Kosoturskaya, Yevgeny Savkov, Ascending, Quiet Zavodi, Novaya 2 and Novaya 4 streets. The authorities plan to start it immediately after the completion of the construction of the tram line.

Parent: I would like to quickly address the recent negative reviews. Bright Beginnings did have a rough transition year during the 2016-2017 school year. However, that transition period is over now. The 2017-2018 school year has started out so positive. The experienced BBS teachers are thrilled to be back teaching at Bright Beginnings. Their lessons are interactive and engaging and they are happy to be at work. I have been very impressed with the new teachers they have hired. My child is in one new teachers class and my child is thriving and loving school! The owners have changed how they are leading the school and they are giving more responsibilities it seems to the principal and other administrators. The new principal from last year is back and she is passionate about starting the year fresh. Please don’t let these negative reviews sway you away from BBS, please call today and take a tour!… Read 6 reviews

#3 Best Private K-12 Schools in Phoenix Area
Junior: ACA is a constantly improving and expanding school. There are pros and cons to its education, but overall, I believe it was best that I went here.
Islamic education is vitally important. The Quran classes have especially improved from before, with middle and high school being taught based on skill level rather than grade. Arabic could use improvements for non-Arab speakers, along with more programs, but it is improving. Islamic Studies really depends, and a lot of the benefits come from whether the student pays attention or not, in my opinion.
The other basic subjects, like Math and English, are just ordinary. Better than public schools, but perhaps lacking compared to other preparatory schools. Clubs and bonus hours are not too great, but considering the size of the school, I feel like that’s acceptable.
The environment depends on your stance. Personally, I did not hate or like it. I can’t comment…. Read 43 reviews

Parent: We have loved our experience at CTA Freedom. We moved to AZ four years ago and felt so overwhelmed with how many schools there were to choose from. Open Enrollment can seem so daunting, but with the help of some friends we decided to go with CTA Freedom even though it is a bit of a commute. We love the traditional approach to learning, but even more so the staff has become family for us. The teachers have been wonderful to work on our sons education with. The administration spends quality time learning who my children are and what they need in order to feel like successful learners. My sons have embraced uniform wearing and love the friends they have on campus. I also appreciate the way CTA navigated schoolwork during the pandemic. Very commendable.

Junior: As a junior at NDP, I have witnessed many changes and new members (staff and students) come about. As a new school, there are bound to be many alterations as we try to find our flow. One positive of this school is the cohesiveness between teachers and students. The smaller group allows for more one-on-one and teacher/student involvement. One change I would like to see would be better communication between faculty/staff and the parents. I’ve had to relay lots of information about events, changes, scheduling, etc. to my parents when the school should play a larger role in that. Overall, my experience at NDP has been fairly fulfilling regarding classes, social life, and activities!… Read 205 reviews

90,000 Phoenix rises from the ashes. The future of “Arizona”
Phoenix rising from the ashes. So now they call what is happening with the club “Arizona Coyotes” (the former name – “Phoenix”).
A hopeless underdog who hasn’t made the playoffs since 2012. True, then there was a conference final, in which the “Coyotes” lost to the future champion – “Los Angeles” (1-4 in the series). There is something to remember. But then – five years of hopelessness.
When did the revival begin?
June 12, 2017, when majority owner Andrew Burroway bought out shares from minority shareholders and became the sole owner of Arizona himself.
You remember, the situation at the Coyotes was not the easiest. The former mayor of Glendale said in the press that the club’s problems are related to the management, and not to the location of the hockey facility. That’s all – the constant sale of players, the craving for half salaries, the acquisition of “dead souls” like Chris Pronger and Pavel Datsyuk, poor attendance – a consequence of this state of affairs. There are many owners, but a clear vector is not visible. It got to the point that, according to rumors, the city authorities were thinking of terminating the stadium lease agreement with Arizona, which did not fit into any framework. An iron hand was needed. And then there was Burroway.
He immediately declared that he started following hockey since the 70s, when Philadelphia won two Stanley Cups in a row, and the Broad Street Bandits made a rustle in the league. I mean, he’s a big fan. And now, serious investments will be made in Arizona.
“I’m going to be involved in running the team. I won’t rest until we win the Stanley Cup. We have to make the whole state proud!” – the new sole proprietor declared ambitiously.
Have you noticed that it is not General Manager John Chaika who announces the fateful decisions in Arizona, but Burroway himself? This speaks volumes.
Captain Shane Dawn, 40, was poised for another season in the league. His statistics were not impressive (6+21=27 in 74 matches). But it seemed that Dawn would play forever – like Jaromir Jagr.

“After serious consideration, we have made the decision not to offer Dawn a new contract,” said Burroway. “It’s time to focus on our youth. We have talented Rookies, the team should have a bright future.”
At the same time, no one defiled the Arizona icon. They treated Dawn very politely and even offered him a job in the club’s office. Let’s see what the veteran chooses.
Second, coach Dave Tippett was fired. This happened by mutual agreement of the parties, although the mentor still had a valid contract. He was considered one of the league’s old-timers, serving since the 2009-10 season, when Wayne Gretzky took over. Just Tippett brought the team to the conference finals. But in the last five years things have been bad.
“I would like to sincerely thank Tip for all his work for the benefit of our team,” said Burroway, referring to the coach by his nickname. “Tip is a person of character, a true leader. But we had a philosophical disagreement about how to build a new team. So we both agreed that Arizona should now have a new coach.”
Perhaps it will be 48-year-old Todd Nelson, who led the Grand Rapids last season (the Detroit farm club) and led the team to the championship in the AHL, taking the Calder Cup. If you remember, Nelson ruled Edmonton a couple of years ago, having worked 51 games in the NHL. But then the team did not reach the playoffs.
Third, Arizona traded goaltender Mike Smith to Calgary for goaltender Chad Johnson, defenseman Brandon Hickey and a draft pick. It is worth recalling that Smith represented the Coyotes at the All-Star Game in January of this year. So not just a goalkeeper left, but a cult player. The fans were upset. But they realized that perestroika had already begun, and it was impossible to stop this train flying into a brighter future.
Video: Four Lines Contest: Smith’s Shot Hits Target
During the expansion draft, Vegas took forward Teemu Pulkkinen from Arizona. But the Coyotes got a lot more. They made a trade with the Rangers for goaltender Antti Raanta and center Derek Stepan. In return, defender Anthony Deangelo went to New York, taking with him the seventh pick of the recent rookie draft.
The Rangers signed Swedish striker Lias Andersson for him. But “Arizona” managed to accumulate spades, so at number 23 they got Canadian defender Pierre-Olivier Joseph, and in the second round at number 44 they chose Swedish defender Philip Westerlund. That is, the Coyotes’ problematic line has intensified.
And when the entire hockey world was shocked that Chicago gave Artemy Panarin to Columbus, under the guise of Arizona traded defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson from the Blackhawks, giving away other defensive players – Connor Murphy and Lauren Dauphin. That is, you can see how Andrew Burroway and his staff work for the future and quality.
And this is the beginning. Ahead of July 1, when the free agent market opens. You’ll see, “Arizona” is sure to explode a couple of transfer bombs there. This is not the modest Cinderella who came to the ball in a pumpkin carriage. This is already an ambitious predator, aiming for the Stanley Cup.
Phoenix rises from the ashes!

Phoenix Dangerous Areas and Best Places to Live
You are planning a trip to Arizona and are wondering where are the dangerous areas and the best areas to live in Phoenix. Indeed, major American cities have seen a sharp increase in violence in recent years. But what about the city of Phoenix in 2022?
For clear and accurate information, here is a guide to the areas of Phoenix. Listed here are the areas to avoid in Phoenix, as well as the best places to choose accommodation. It is accompanied by a Google Maps map that allows you to find the main areas of Phoenix.
This article is sourced from press articles, economic websites, forums, statistics, and web rankings. This is actually a summary of various Internet data and does not contain any judgment or discrimination.
Dangerous city of Phoenix in 2022?
In 2022, Phoenix is not among the top most dangerous cities in the US. Contrary to Memphis, Baltimore, Strait ou New Orleans, the city of Phoenix is far less crime-ridden. This can be seen on the FBI website, statistics, world population survey ou wikipedia. To analyze for yourself the level of crime in Phoenix, I recommend that you go to the official website of the Phoenix font. Indeed, you will find there updated publications of statistics and maps of crimes according to their typology.
In 2022 Numbeo’s ranking of the most crime-ridden cities in the US, Phoenix is in the lowest average ranking with a crime index of 51.9. See Numbeo.com sitemap below:
If we study the 2022 world rankings, so Phoenix is the 149th most crime city out of the 456 ranking cities. In comparison, on this site, Phoenix would be less criminal than cities like Athènes, Naples, London ou Paris.
Is Phoenix safe for tourists?
yes but on condition that tourists are careful to avoid the dangerous areas of Phoenix (see below).
Indeed, Phoenix is not a city known for its crimes against tourists. True, there are areas where violence reigns, drug trafficking and settling scores between rival gangs. But most crime occurs in isolated areas or in areas not visited by tourists (see list below).
In general, the tourist areas of Phoenix are not dangerous for visitors. But, as elsewhere, tourists can be deceived or robbed.
Phoenix area
Phoenix consists of 15 official districts (Ahvatuki Foothills, Alhambra, Camel East, Central City, Deer Valley, Desert View, Encanto, Estrella, Lavin, Maryvale, North Gate, North Mountain, Paradise Valley , Rio Vista, South Mountain).
But to better accommodate this urban area of almost 5 million people, the Americans have identified 7 main areas (see map below):0086
Phoenix North (area north of downtown)
South Phoenix (area south of Salt River)
Biltmore (small area south of Phoenix Mountains Reserve)
Arcadia (famous area near downtown)
Sunnyslope (the area north of downtown around Mount Sunnyslope)

A favorite tourist area in Phoenix is Downtown . It is in this area that tourists go for its entertainment, its parks and gardens, its beautiful shops, restaurants, bars and nightclubs.
But tourists also prefer to stay in downtown Phoenix to enjoy its rich cultural heritage:
Art Galleries and First Friday Art Walk on Roosevelt Row, which is the city’s arts center,
Arizona State Capitol Museum, which is the old City Hall,
Capitol Museum,
Heard Museum, Bolly Memorial Square
9008
Phoenix Children’s Museum,
Phoenix Art Museum,
Arizona Science Center, etc.

Phoenix Air Quality Index (AQI) and Air Pollution in USA
*translated using machine translation
Phoenix’s air quality averages an air quality index (AQI) score of less than 50, or “good”. Despite the clean air quality in Phoenix on an annual and monthly average, the city still experiences a number of unhealthy ozone and PM2.5 days. From 2016 to 2018, the weighted average was 46. 5 days for unhealthy air 1 . These days of pollution resulted in Phoenix failing to meet air pollution levels for ozone and PM2.5.
Phoenix tends to experience cleaner air in summer and more polluted air in winter. Temperature inversions in winter largely contribute to the fact that in these months the AQI is 2.5 times higher than in the summer months. On average, May and June are the cleanest months in Phoenix, while December and November are the most polluted.
Phoenix’s biggest air quality problem is ozone pollution. Ozone is a gaseous pollutant formed by the interaction of nitrogen oxides and organic substances under the influence of sunlight. Because ozone is not emitted directly, but is produced in the atmosphere from other pollutants, it is often considered a difficult pollutant to control.
The abundance of sunlight and heat as a requirement for ozone formation means that Phoenix’s ozone levels tend to be worse in summer than in winter (the opposite trend from Phoenix’s average pollution levels and PM2. 5 levels). In 2019, unhealthy ozone levels only occurred between May 3rd and September 13th. 2 Historically, ozone levels have always been in the “green” healthy category during the winter months.
Maricopa County, of which Phoenix is the county seat, was rated “F” and ranked 7th out of 228 included metropolitan areas for High Ozone Days by the American Lung Association’s Air Condition Report 1 . From 2016 to 2018, there was a weighted average of 39.8 days that was considered harmful for ozone only.
While Phoenix continues to struggle to meet current ozone standards, many health experts are advocating further lowering of the federal standard. They advocate that current regulations limiting ozone levels to no more than 70 ppm do not adequately protect the most vulnerable populations from adverse health effects. 3 In order for Phoenix to meet current standards and aim for even lower levels, the city must focus on its biggest ozone provider: transportation.
Phoenix live air quality data is available at the top of this page. Follow Phoenix air quality forecast data and published health guidelines to take action against pollution levels and reduce pollution levels.
What causes air pollution in Phoenix?
Since the passage of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1970 and later the 1990 Amendments, there has been a significant improvement in air quality in Phoenix and much of the United States.
However, air quality in Phoenix has been deteriorating in recent years for both PM2.5 and ozone pollution. 2019 was an exception to this trend, showing improvements over 2018 and 2017.
For example, in the case of PM2.5 pollution, the Phoenix average in 2017 was 8.4 µg/m per year and 8.6 µg/m in 2018 (slight increase of 2.4% year on year). Meanwhile, in 2019, PM2.5 levels decreased by 32.6% to 5.8 μg/m , the lowest annual average since 2002.
In terms of ozone pollution, Phoenix tested 34 days of air above the Clean Air Act’s standard for ozone (70 ppb) in 2016, 48 days in 2017, and 55 days in 2018. On the other hand, 2019 showed an improvement: only 40 days above the federal standard. 2
Even with a decrease in ozone pollution in 2019, ozone levels still pose a significant risk to Phoenix residents. Sustaining ozone levels in the future depends primarily on reducing vehicle emissions, not emissions from Phoenix’s relatively small manufacturing sector. 4 Transport emissions can be further reduced by switching to more fuel-efficient, low-emission vehicles and by making public transport more accessible and attractive. Switching to electric vehicles can significantly reduce air pollution levels in Arizona, with levels of nitric oxide (a major precursor pollutant to form ozone) up to 76%, according to a study by the Southwest Energy Efficiency Project (SWEEP). and PM2.5 levels up to 60%. 5
Why is Phoenix’s air quality so bad?
Unhealthy air pollution in Phoenix is largely the result of traffic emissions and industry. At the same time, seasonal weather events play an important role as these impacts can interfere with the normal distribution of polluted air.
For example, the accumulation of air pollution in Phoenix during the winter is mainly the result of temperature inversions. Under normal conditions, the sun heats the earth, creating warmer air near the earth’s surface and colder air just above. Under these conditions, polluted ground air is able to rise and disperse over large areas. During a temperature inversion, usually occurring in winter, weak sunlight and colder conditions create colder air at ground level and warmer air above. When this happens, the cold polluted air near the surface is trapped or unable to rise due to the warm air above it. The result is an accumulation of pollution over time as emissions remain relatively constant, often creating a “brown haze” on the horizon.
Local winds can further exacerbate this effect by moving pollution across different parts of the valley. 6 During the day, pollution spreads more freely throughout the valley, moving up the mountains and into the surrounding Phoenix metropolitan area. At night, when the temperature drops, cold air flows from the mountains to the south, settling at the lowest point of the valley. This moving air contains pollutants from the surrounding area, concentrating them near the southern Salt River and western Phoenix.
When a temperature inversion occurs, only rain or wind can disperse cold, polluted air. Heat and sunlight in the afternoon can end the inversion, allowing pollution to dissipate, but in winter, inversions often reoccur several hours after sunset.
Warmer summer temperatures as a result of global warming could exacerbate Phoenix’s ozone problem by creating more ideal conditions for ozone to form. Temperatures across the state rose from an average of 71.3°F to 75.5°F between 1980 and 2015. 7 Phoenix is the fourth fastest warming city in the United States.
Phoenix AQI varies throughout the city and is usually higher near major roads. During the winter, West Phoenix often exhibits somewhat higher levels of air quality as a result of seasonal weather events. Use the Phoenix Air Pollution Map to see the impact of local emission sources on real-time air quality levels, and compare air quality levels with Tucson, Arizona’s second most polluted city after Phoenix.

Blake Manor Elementary Parent
The kids have a wonderful time at YMCA Afterschool. They have time for kids to do their homework, play active games in the gym, and provide snacks. The staff is nice and great with kids. My kids don’t want to leave when I pick them up. The best part is that it is right at the kids school so they don’t have to take a bus. I highly recommend YMCA afterschool care.
Jollyville Elementary Parent
Hard working counselors that connect with the kids – always friendly, courteous and respectful.
Laurel Mountain Parent
My son loves YMCA! He never wants me to pick him up early. He comes home with all kinds of crafts every day and says everyone is nice to him. As a parent what more could you want 🙂
UT Elementary Parent
Your counselors are warm and very caring of our children, your programs are clear and executed in a very safe manner, and my child was consistently very happy in the program. He was devastated to have to leave!
Canyon Creek Parent
Program is convenient and affordable. Staff help kids get homework done and provide structured activities. Kids are respected, while also holding them accountable for their actions. Great program!

Afterschool Program Description
What do afterschool programs offer?
DC Public Schools (DCPS) afterschool programs allow students to participate in academic and extracurricular enrichment activities and to develop new hobbies and skills. DCPS teachers, paraprofessionals, and afterschool partner organizations provide a variety of unique programming options to students.
Participation in high-quality afterschool programming has been proven to improve school attendance, academic achievement, graduation rates, and attitudes toward learning. Students attending two and a half hours of afterschool programs each day gain the equivalent of nearly two months of learning time.
What are the afterschool program hours?
The afterschool program starts at the end of the school day and ends at 6:15 pm each full school day (unless otherwise noted by your school).
What grades can participate?
OSTP programs serve students in PK3 through grade 5 at elementary schools and PK3 through grade 8 at education campuses. At River Terrace, all grades are eligible. At Hart MS and Jefferson Academy MS, the program serves grades 6-8. The grades that the OSTP program may serve at each site may vary, please contact your school to determine which service provider will serve your student’s specific grade. We have listed the known providers on the list of 55 schools.

At some schools, other afterschool providers serving students in certain grades may charge a fee. We have listed the known providers on the list of 55 schools. Not all afterschool program providers charge fees.
How is the afterschool program evaluated?
The OSTP program is funded mostly by a 21st Century Community Learning Center grant (21CCLC) from the Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE). The SY19-20 21CCLC Afterschool End of Year Evaluation Report presents the program objectives set by OSSE and DCPS and evaluates whether the objectives were met during the 2019-2020 school year which was the most recent year of DCPS OSTP afterschool program data. In addition, the presentation contains important information about the 21CCLC grant, program demographics, key findings from the external evaluator, afterschool program strengths, and areas of focus for SY21-22. The evaluation report for SY21-22 will be completed in late fall of 2022. Questions may be sent to Margot Berkey, specialist for the 21CCLC grant, at [email protected].

Pre-school education programs
Childhood is the most important period of human life, not preparation for the future life, but real, bright, original, unique life. And on how childhood passed, who led the child by the hand in childhood, what entered his mind and heart from the outside world, it depends to a decisive extent on what kind of person today’s baby will become. V.A. Sukhomlinsky
Basic educational program of preschool education is a normative and managerial document of a preschool educational organization that characterizes the specifics of the content of education and the features of the organization of the educational process. The program is developed, approved and implemented by the educational organization in accordance with the Federal State Educational Standard for preschool education and taking into account the exemplary educational program for preschool education.
The program should ensure the construction of a holistic pedagogical process aimed at the full-fledged comprehensive development of the child – physical, social and communicative, cognitive, speech, artistic and aesthetic. One of the provisions of the Action Plan to ensure the introduction of the FSES DO is the provision on the introduction of the Federal Register of exemplary basic educational programs used in the educational process in accordance with the FSES DO.
Website of the federal register of exemplary basic general education programs: fgosreestr.ru. It published the “Approximate basic general educational program of preschool education”, approved by the decision of the federal educational and methodological association for general education (minutes of May 20, 2015 No. 2/15).
On the website of the Federal State Autonomous Institution “Federal Institute for the Development of Education” (FGAU “FIRO”) www.firo.ru, a section “Navigator of educational programs of preschool education” has been created.

Basic pre-school education programs.
Brief overview – Kindergarten and child
The quality and effectiveness of pre-school education are mediated by many factors, among which the educational program is far from the last. Since modern preschool educational institutions are represented by diversity, and parents get the opportunity to choose among kindergartens of various specializations and directions, the main programs of preschool education are also quite diverse.
The law “On Education” of the Russian Federation states that the staff of the preschool educational institution has the right to independently develop or choose from existing programs those that most fully comply with the conditions and principles of work of this preschool institution. This is not to say that this or that program is better or worse – they are all designed with the necessary requirements in mind, and each of them has its own merits.
Let’s take a brief look at the main programs of preschool education that are common in kindergartens in the Russian Federation.
What are the main pre-school education programs?
All main programs of preschool education can be divided into two types – complex (or general education) and the so-called partial (specialized, basic programs of preschool education with a narrower and more pronounced focus).
Basic pre-school education programs complex type take into account a holistic approach to the harmonious and comprehensive development of the child. According to such programs, education, training and development take place in all directions in accordance with existing psychological and pedagogical standards.
Partial basic programs of pre-school education assume the main emphasis on any one direction in the development and upbringing of the child. In this case, a comprehensive approach to the implementation of preschool education is ensured by the competent selection of several partial programs.
Comprehensive core preschool programs
Origins is a program that pays due attention to the development of the child’s personality in accordance with his age. The authors offer 7 basic personal characteristics that must be developed in a preschooler. The educational program “Origins”, like other main programs of preschool education, takes into account the comprehensive and harmonious development of the preschooler and makes it a priority.
“Rainbow” – in this program you will find 7 basic activities that are typical for a preschooler. They include play, construction, mathematics, physical education, fine arts and manual labor, musical and plastic arts, speech development and acquaintance with the outside world. Development under the program takes place in all of the above areas.
“Childhood” – the program is divided into 4 main blocks, each of which is a central element in the construction of preschool education. There are sections “Knowledge”, “Healthy lifestyle”, “Creation”, “Humanity”.
“Development” is a special program of pre-school education, which is based on the principle of gradual complication of educational, educational and educational tasks. The program provides a systematic, consistent approach to preschool education and child development.
“Krokha” is a comprehensive program designed specifically for children under 3 years old. It takes into account the specifics of early age and ensures maximum efficiency in solving educational problems in children of this age category. Includes several blocks – “We are waiting for you, baby!”, “I myself”, “Gulenka”, “How I will grow and develop.”
Partial basic programs of preschool education
“Spider line”, “Young ecologist”, “Nature is our home” – these programs were developed for the purpose of environmental education of preschoolers. Accordingly, they instill in children love and respect for nature and the world around us, form an ecological consciousness, which is very important for preschool children.
Nature and Artist, Semitsvetik, Integration, Umka-TRIZ, Kid, Harmony, Musical Masterpieces, Design and Manual Labor – all these programs of preschool education have one thing in common: they have a pronounced focus on the creative development of the child and on the artistic and aesthetic perception of the world.
“I, you, we”, “The development of children’s ideas about history and culture”, “I am a man”, “Heritage”, “Introducing children to the origins of Russian folk culture” – the listed main programs of preschool education have a focus socio-cultural nature. They are designed to stimulate the development of spirituality, morality, cultural awareness and important social skills. In addition, some programs have as the highest goal the education of patriotism as a valuable characteristic of the individual.
“Sparkle”, “Play for your health”, “Start”, “Hello!”, “Health” – in these programs, the emphasis is on recovery, physical development of a preschooler and his physical activity. The priorities are to instill a love for sports, an active and healthy lifestyle.
There are even more specialized core preschool programs. For example, program “Fundamentals of Safety” involves preparing preschoolers for possible situations of danger, natural disasters and emergencies. “Preschooler and Economics” – a program designed for economic education and the formation of initial financial and economic ideas.
Some of the main programs of preschool education have absorbed certain achievements in pedagogy and psychology.
For example, TRIZ program is based on the postulates of the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving developed by GT Altshuller in 1945. It is an original approach to the development of imagination, fantasy, creativity and ingenuity.
The Maria Montessori Pedagogy Program has an original position regarding the upbringing, education and education of the child, based on a solid scientific and philosophical foundation. In addition, this program involves a deviation from some generally accepted pedagogical standards, for example, the rejection of the usual class-lesson system.

This is a version of the “Development” program, adapted for preschool educational institutions in accordance with the Federal State Educational Standard.
The main attention of the authors of the program is transferred from the content of training to its means. Content is knowledge, specific skills and abilities acquired by children in various types of activities or in free activities (ideas about natural phenomena, about people’s life in society, about mathematical relations: counting skills, coherent speech, etc. ). But for the development of abilities, it is not so much the knowledge and skills themselves (whatever they are) that are important, but how they are presented to children , and, respectively, are mastered by the children of .
The actions that the child performs in the course of learning perform a dual function: on the one hand, they ensure the assimilation of the contents offered in the training, which is especially important for children of older preschool ages in connection with preparing them for school, and on the other hand, and this is the main thing – develop general abilities.
The task facing the authors of the program was to create specially educational situations at each age and use the situations of the natural life of children that develop their general abilities to the maximum extent.
Goals and objectives of the Development program
The target of the program is
development of general abilities of preschoolers: mental, communicative,
regulatory in the process of specific preschool activities, their communication with adults and other children, cognitive research activities and other forms of activity that provide positive socialization, motivation of children, contribute to the formation of a general culture of the individual, their positive socialization in society;
protection and strengthening of the physical and mental health of children, including – protection and strengthening of the physical and mental health of children, including their emotional well-being, ensuring equal opportunities for the full development of each child during preschool childhood, regardless of place of residence, gender, nation , language, social status,
ensuring the continuity of the goals, objectives and content of preschool general and primary general education.
The goals of the program can be achieved as a result of solving tasks
on the creation of educational situations that contribute to the mastery of children with specific means and methods that underlie cognitive, communicative and regulatory abilities, in accordance with their age and individual characteristics,
organizations of a favorable developing subject-spatial environment,
providing psychological and pedagogical support for teachers in order to master the methods of positive communication with children, the methods and techniques of developmental education, the methodology for the development of cognitive, communicative and regulatory abilities of preschoolers,
providing psychological and pedagogical support for the family and increasing the competence of parents (legal representatives) in matters of development and education, protection and promotion of children’s health, positive socialization;
Thus, the program is aimed at developing the general abilities of preschoolers: mental, communicative, regulatory in the process of specific preschool activities, in the process of their communication with adults and other children in all educational areas.
At the same time, full-fledged mental development is impossible without ensuring the life itself, the child’s health, general physical development, depending on the characteristics of culture, the specific conditions of the child’s life. To ensure the life and development of the child in preschool childhood, a preschool institution takes on some of these tasks.
The program involves educational work with normally developing children. At the same time, the principles of educational work, which consist in creating conditions for the development of the general abilities of preschoolers, can also be applied in work with children with special needs. However, the methodological support of such work, according to the authors of the program, should be focused on the developmental features of such children and can only be created by specialists – defectologists. There are no such specialists in the team of authors of the “Development” program. In addition, the variety of features of the mental development of children, which differs from the norm, does not allow doing this in one, unified way (for example, for children with mental retardation, autism, hearing or vision impairments, speech therapy problems, etc. ).

Independent rating of private kindergartens
So that you can choose a kindergarten and a nursery, a rating of companies has been created on the site. It is compiled taking into account the criteria of the integrity of the institution, in order to weed out fraudulent firms or those that provide low-quality services. The general principle of the rating is to exclude fraudulent reviews, give more information about the company – what it does, what services it offers and how long it has been on the market.
In special cases, we may check the company’s license, media sources, to obtain additional information about its activities, customer lawsuits and the activities of affiliates, if any. We do not guarantee that our rating will show the real level of service, since reviews are always subjective, but we are trying to help you make the right choice.

Kindergartens in Dagestan operate in violation of the law

Hundreds of kindergartens in Dagestan operate without permits. This statement was made by the deputy head of the investigative department of the Investigative Committee of Russia for Dagestan, Oleg Potanin.
According to him, in Dagestan there is an acute problem with the conduct of illegal business activities related to the opening of private kindergartens. A series of tragic cases in kindergartens revealed numerous violations. Often kindergartens that are opened privately do not have a license for educational activities, the staff works without the necessary education and qualifications, labor relations with employees are not formalized. According to Potanin, kindergarten owners can get off with a fine for violations and continue their activities, so tragic incidents in kindergartens will be repeated, and the situation will not change.
