FAQs
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.
Andover 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.
Transitional Kindergarten Programs (4–5 Years)
If your child finished pre-K but missed the kindergarten cutoff date, transitional
kindergarten is a great stepping stone to big-kid school. Our project-based
learning model emphasizes critical thinking, communication, and creativity.
Kids take lead roles on projects and complete them in small groups.
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
can count on KinderCare to provide a safe and supportive learning environment that’s focused
on fun. We welcome children ages 5–12 during school break times and make sure they have a
sensational, screen-free experience they won’t forget.
Participating Child Care Aware Center
KinderCare partners with Child Care Aware® of America to offer fee assistance for
Active Duty military families and flexible support to fit their needs when care at a Child
Development Center on the installation is not available.
Learning Adventures – Enrichment Program
Cooking Academy™ (3 – 12 Years)
In Cooking Academy, kids learn new recipes from cultures around the world and
develop a healthy relationship with food. They’ll whip up everything from Southwest
rainbow lettuce wraps to pumpkin muffins, building their skills in STEM, communication,
and more along the way. And yes—little chefs get to eat their culinary creations!
Phonics Adventures® (2 – 4 Years)
Learning how to read is a whole lot of fun at KinderCare! We help kids grow to love
books and words (and get ready for kindergarten) in our Phonics Adventures program.
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.)
STEM Innovators (3-8 Years)
You’ve probably heard a lot about how important STEM education is for your child, but
what does that really mean? Our STEM Innovators program takes kids’ natural ability to
make sense of the world and applies it to robotics, chemistry, coding, geology, and
more. While your child experiments, they’ll discover how to use technology to do
amazing things!
Our Teachers
We’re the only company in early childhood education to select teachers based on natural talent. Being a great educator isn’t enough though.
KinderCare teachers are also amazing listeners, nurturers, boo-boo fixers, and smile-makers. Put more simply,
we love our teachers and your child will, too.
Meet just a few of our amazing KinderCare teachers!
A KINDERCARE TEACHER WITH
An Artist’s Heart
“My classroom is full of art!” says Mary Annthipie-Bane, an award-winning early childhood educator at KinderCare. Art and creative expression, she says, help children discover who they really are.
We put our best-in-class teachers in a best-in-class workplace. We’re so proud to have been named one of Gallup’s 37 winners of the Great Workplace Award.
When you put great teachers in an engaging center, your children will experience
an amazing place to learn and grow.

Don’t take our word for it. Hear what our families have to say about our amazing center!
Our grandson is now moving on to kindergarten and I just wanted to share what a good experience it was for him to attend Andover KinderCare. We are sad he is moving out of the district, but so glad he has been given the opportunity to grow so much with KinderCare.The staff was always good to me and my grandson, which made it easy to leave him every day for the last three years. I always knew he was safe and secure in your care. Thank you all so much!
Jan – KinderCare Parent
We moved to Andover, Kansas at the end of 2015 and our two children have been attending KinderCare for a month. We cannot say enough good things about this place! They have done such a good job with our children. This facility is remarkable for having well-organized, well-trained staff leading to outstanding child care and developmental and educational services. They treat my kids well. The providers are caring, loving, and team with us to address any needs they may note.
Vincenzo – KinderCare Parent
I would like to express my humble gratitude for the loving environment Andover KinderCare has provided for my son. It was extremely difficult trying to find a child care provider that I trusted to help mold my son into a well-rounded individual. It was also crucial for me to find a facility that would provide the love, care, and security he deserves. KinderCare has more than met my expectations in all areas and I feel very fortunate to have met the staff here. KinderCare has been a very important aspect of my son’s life. He loves the friends he has made as well as his teachers. KinderCare has helped prepare him for kindergarten through expectations of success and a commitment to quality that can be described as exceptional.
Brandy – KinderCare Parent
Andover KinderCare is like a hug. The staff are always caring and giving, and are always ready to listen to your concerns, ideas, or requests. It has been a home away from home for our son and daughter. They have been given care and teachings for almost two years. We have enjoyed the summer camp, phonics, and cooking classes they offer. Also, their playground is the largest I’ve seen with local day cares! Alisha is a great team leader, teacher, and care giver. We look forward to the next two years we’ll have with her and her “Kind”erCare team.
Mindi – KinderCare Parent
I absolutely love this KinderCare center! The staff every morning is so amazingly nice and happy to see each kid as they come in and always greet my son with a smile and a hug. My son is only two years old but he cannot wait every day to go to play group. The director Tiffany she has been so helpful and nice about everything. This was my first time having my son in any kind of daycare and she was right there with us helping us out. They spent a little extra time with my son to see where he was at his group and it’s just amazing to see the growth and change in him. I absolutely love everyone here and have told numerous people that I know about how amazing it is.

2 host: – What the kids dream about in kindergarten, now we know. But what are the dreams of their educators? Here, for example, among those who themselves have not gone very far from their children – among the youngest?
Young teachers come out.
Having barely graduated from the institute, we only dreamed, That we would go to work and they would give us medals!
The dean, I remember, told us that this is, well, like in sports – Here you have to run to the finish line and think about a record!
The distance here is not small, we have been leading children for five years. And you won’t leave the track, you won’t leave the kids!
We dream of success! Let us succeed! After all, he is not right who said: “To work means to suffer!”.

1 host: – Every day you help your kids get dressed for a walk. And winter is coming, there will be even more clothes! Let’s practice!
They take out dolls according to the number of people and sets of outer winter clothes for them. (Dolls can be, for example, dolls of the Vesna toy factory in clothes from the winter collection). The task of the participants is to quickly put on the doll all her winter clothes.
Song “Golden Autumn” children of the middle group.
2 host: – I wonder what else can those who have a very long experience here in kindergarten dream of?
Kindergarten workers with a lot of work experience enter the stage. (If the team is small, all the verses can be combined into quatrains or give each teacher two or three verses, as you see fit).
Every one of us has indie… see… dual dreams! Well, that is, personal dreams, for the long term.
They have a color, they have a taste, and sometimes a smell. Dreams come to us easily, on soft hind legs…
I so dream that no one Didn’t stand aside. Let every baby be the most active child!
And my dream has a great taste of my mother’s soup. Mommy met me in the evenings from the group… Ah! Only I have not been a child in that group for a long time! And my babies have already grown from diapers …
Yes, sometimes it would be a child to become And it wouldn’t hurt us … Then it wouldn’t be them, but we We voiced complaints, That he pulled me So hard for the pigtail, And what my mother doesn’t give me Kitten or sister…
And this is what I dream about: to have summer again! It forgot something about us in the damp autumn…
And I want it to be December and the New Year in the world! And let Santa Claus come to us! Kids love him so much!
My dream is as simple as the world. She is as beautiful as the world. I want the children of the whole Earth to play safely! I want peace on the whole Earth to come for good! And those who hear me here, you tell everyone! Let all countries and peoples stop fighting, Let us be upset only by bad weather!
May this year be cheerful, interesting, And full of joyful worries, both necessary and useful!
Let our whole garden be friendly, It’s more interesting together! Let us come every day We go to work with a song!
And even if just a little bit more They will raise our wages… So that our life will improve, We really need it!

Why does a child need kindergarten? – TV channel “Oh!”
In Russia, preschoolers do not have to go to kindergarten, but every year more children attend preschool institutions: since 2014 this figure has increased by 7%. Why gardens are becoming more popular, whether to go there and how to adapt, says expert Yulia Domanova. And also read another opinion – how can you do without a kindergarten.
Yulia Domanova, doctor, gestalt therapist, certified consultant in complementary feeding, breastfeeding and sleep, mother of three children
Should I send my child to kindergarten?
Definitely yes, if the child is active and sociable. First, because extroverted children thrive best when they interact with others. Secondly, active babies often require so much attention that the mother simply cannot cope on her own. Constantly communicating with a child at his level – playing, evaluating crafts, getting involved in all the notions – is difficult even for the most patient adult. Therefore, in this case, everyone will benefit from the kindergarten: both the child himself and his parents. If the child is calm, homely and very attached to his mother, kindergarten will become a ticket to “independent life”. In the new environment, he will learn to do without his mother. It’s not just about everyday skills. To be able to relax, calm down, fall asleep without a mother, on his own – these are important skills that will definitely come in handy for him.
From what age?
Usually children show interest in their peers and are ready to communicate with them from the age of two. By this age, they can already talk a little, learn to eat and use the toilet on their own. With these simple everyday skills, it is easier to merge into an unfamiliar environment. Sometimes the child is ready even earlier. If you want to try it, it’s definitely worth doing, but gradually. I advise you to start with a part-time group, a private garden, where attention to each kid will be maximum. If you are only considering a public kindergarten and need to go to work, start onboarding as early as possible. Even if it takes half a year, the child will be softer and get used to the new environment and people better.
Pros and cons of kindergarten
In my opinion, the pros of kindergarten outweigh the minor cons. Its main task is to help the child smoothly move from a small family society into a large, real one. If the adaptation is organized correctly, then the garden copes with this task. The child immediately finds himself in a mini-society, where there are many people with different interests, tastes and self-image, where there is a hierarchy and rules.
Kindergarten is a great platform to explore personal boundaries. In a family with this concept, it is often a complete failure. The child pushes through the parents, insists on his own, resorts to tantrums and blackmail, the parents give in to avoid conflict or so that the baby calms down as soon as possible. In kindergarten, the child receives quite understandable feedback on all his actions: “In your opinion, it always cannot be, because there are other people’s interests.” He learns to respect other people’s personal boundaries and defend his own.
As for the negatives, the worst thing you can expect from a kindergarten is a poorly organized adaptation. If he has a poor reputation, this is often what they mean: educators do not want or do not know how to help the child integrate into a new environment. This means that parents should partly take on this role.
How to help your child adapt to kindergarten
Children are big conservatives. They react poorly to changes, especially forced and abrupt ones. The fact is that the health of the child, his psychological well-being, depends on constancy. Therefore, the most important thing is the correct mode.
– Find out the schedule of your future kindergarten: what time does the working day start, when the kids have breakfast and lunch, what time do they go to bed when they walk. Organize the same routine at home. When a child starts going to kindergarten, he will already know what he is after, and will be mentally prepared and even wait for such a change in activities.
– Help with the adaptation itself. Tell us that it is interesting and fun in kindergarten, that there is always a company for games, that the teachers are waiting for him and are glad to see him. Enlist the support of educators: make contact with them.
If the baby is very attached to you and you are afraid that he will yearn, I know one interesting trick. Take your child’s favorite toy and make a so-called transitional object out of it. Give it “your” functions. Say something like: “When you miss me, hug the bear, and I will feel it and immediately send you rays of love.” Such a bear or a bunny will become a support on which the baby can hold out until he meets his mother.
– Finally, the mother herself must work on herself and affection. The child reads your feelings. If you are an anxious mother, do not trust the teachers, are afraid that something might happen in the garden, the baby will also subconsciously feel it and not want to part with you.
Maybe send the child to a “fashionable” kindergarten with a sports or language bias?
I don’t think it’s worth it. The child must learn to communicate, learn simple social norms for his age, be inquisitive, be able and willing to play (that is, strive to explore the world). All this is possible in an ordinary kindergarten. The rest – foreign languages, sports sections, early development and so on – is optional. If this is organized as circles, classes last no more than 15-20 minutes and take place a couple of times a week, you can try. But a too busy working day, when something is constantly happening, and attention, concentration, effort and results are required from the child, it will tire him and have a bad effect on health.
The task of the kindergarten is to help the child integrate into society, learn to communicate with peers.
The best age for a garden is 2-3 years.
Gradual, soft adaptation and good contact with caregivers are the key to success.

Child’s adaptation to preschool educational institution
Home | Parents | Adaptation of the child to DOW
Applying for kindergarten
Dear parents!
This information will help your child and you to adapt painlessly to the conditions of our preschool!
Dear parents, remember that entering kindergarten is an important event in your child’s life. Coming to kindergarten, he finds himself in other conditions, significantly different from home. Even if the child previously went to another preschool institution, he will need time to get used to new employees, children.
The criterion for a successful psychological and physical condition of a child is his successful adaptation.
When a child fails to cope with the task of adapting to new conditions, we can observe symptoms of difficult adaptation. These include :
– violation of the positive emotional state of the child;
– the child cries a lot, strives for emotional contact with adults, or, on the contrary, irritably refuses it;
– the child has difficulty establishing contact with other children;
– violation of appetite;
– sleep disturbance;
– separation from relatives is painful;
– general activity decreases;
– general depressed state.
However, it is in the power of parents to prevent such consequences of attending a kindergarten. To do this, experts recommend taking the following measures .
1. Approximately one month before entering the kindergarten, you can begin to prepare the child psychologically – tell about what kindergarten is, who goes there, what happens there. The parent can share with the child their own positive memories of being in the garden. However, at the same time, you should not overdo it – you should not focus too often on the upcoming event, this can cause fear and self-doubt in the child.
2. You can play the game “Kindergarten” with your child. The role of the baby can be performed either by himself or by some kind of toy. Show him in the game how you can get to know your peers, how to join the game. Let the rhythm of kindergarten life be observed in the game: the dolls will have breakfast, do exercises, walk, have lunch, go to bed … It is useful to continue the game when the child begins to go to kindergarten. In the game, it will be easier for you to track what problems and difficulties he is experiencing, to help him cope with them.
3. In the event that a kindergarten is located close to home, the child will most likely have familiar children in the future children’s team. It is with them that he will communicate in the first few days – until he finds new friends. In the event that not a single child who would be familiar to yours attends the group, it is better to introduce him to one of the guys in advance. This will help him quickly establish communication in the team.
4. It is also necessary to prepare for the kindergarten regime in advance. Usually children are brought to kindergarten from 7.00 to 8.30, and they are taken from 17.00 to 18.30, the quiet hour lasts from 13.00 to 15.00. Not all children are used to getting up at 7 in the morning, so you need to start rebuilding in a new way at least 2-3 months in advance. It is better to go to bed at 21.00.
5. It is not recommended to leave the child for more than 2-3 hours during the first days of visiting the kindergarten. By observing his reaction, you can gradually increase the time spent in the institution. The recommendations of psychologists are as follows – take the child from the kindergarten for about a week before daytime sleep, then (in the normal state of the baby) for about a week – immediately after the afternoon snack, and only then you can leave it for a daytime walk. As a rule, in the first days, children get tired both psychologically and physically, therefore, if possible, it’s good to arrange a “unloading from kindergarten” day – one day a week to stay at home with him.
6. Kindergarten food is different from home food, so parents should prepare their child in advance, accustoming him to ordinary and healthy food – soups, cereals, salads, etc. Details of the menu of our kindergarten can be found on our website under the heading “Food in kindergarten”. If your child does not have a good appetite, you should talk about this with the teacher in advance. Under no circumstances should a child be forced to eat.
7. It is worth accustoming the child to independence and self-service skills in advance. At the senior preschool age, the child should already be able to do something on his own. Of course, the skills of independence are not instilled immediately. However, in a familiar home environment, it will be much easier for a child to learn how to dress, fasten buttons, wash properly, use a fork and spoon, etc.
8. When going to kindergarten, it is possible and even necessary to allow the child to take some toys with him so that he brings a “piece” of his home there. Let the toy go with the child to kindergarten “daily” and get acquainted with other toys there. Ask the child what happened to the toy, who was friends with her, who offended her, if she was sad (it is easier for children to talk about their feelings on behalf of the toy). However, if the toy often causes conflicts (even if the child does not play with the toy himself, he shows aggression if one of the children tries to play with it), it is better to refuse this.
9. When saying goodbye to the mother, the child often starts acting up – holding on to the mother with all his strength, sometimes even screaming loudly, sobbing and throwing tantrums. You need to calmly kiss the baby, wave to him and “hand over” into the reliable hands of the teacher (if he himself refuses to go). Usually children cry for 5-10 minutes and calm down. Leaving a child, the main thing is not to disappear suddenly. The child must see that the mother is leaving and then will come. It is necessary to explain in detail to the child what he will do now: “You will now play, eat, sleep, and while I go to work, and then you wake up, and I have already come for you.”
10. In the first few days the child feels constrained in kindergarten. Constant containment of emotions can lead to a nervous breakdown, therefore, during the period of adaptation, the child simply needs to “release” emotions in a familiar home environment that does not cause stiffness. Do not scold him for shouting too loudly or running fast – he needs it.
11. When a child is out of kindergarten, parents should try to devote as much time as possible to him – to walk, play, talk.
12. Be in contact with caregivers – be interested in the behavior of the child in the garden, his relationship with adults and peers, discuss emerging problems.
Parents of newly arriving children also go through an adaptation period: they get to know new parents, kindergarten staff, the conditions of the child’s stay, and the traditions of the preschool institution.
Very often, parents experience discomfort from the fact that they do not know about the events taking place in the life of a child in kindergarten. In order to keep abreast of these events, to have the necessary information, attend general and group parent meetings; participate in the pedagogical and economic life of a preschool institution; carefully consider the recommendations of teachers, medical staff and administration of the institution.
Tips to help you, dear parents, find mutual understanding with employees and parents and successfully pass the adaptation .
1. Follow the schedule of the kindergarten (from 7.00 to 19.00).
2. Bring your children before 8.30 without delay.
3. If you have brought your child after this time, wait for him to undress, stay with him in the dressing room until the end of the regime moment.
4. Teachers are ready to talk with you about your child in the morning before 8.30 and in the evening after 17. 00, at other times the teacher is obliged to work with a group of children and cannot be distracted.
5. A child must be brought to kindergarten in clean, tidy and comfortable clothes and shoes, with the necessary set of change of clothes, with neatly combed hair and short nails.
6. The reason for the absence of the child must be reported to the kindergarten on the same day.
7. Sick children identified during the morning reception, and children with suspected illness, are not admitted to kindergarten.
8. After a child misses kindergarten for more than three days, a doctor’s note is required. After a longer absence or absence during the summer period, a certificate of the child’s health status and an examination for helminths are provided.
9. On the eve of the alleged absence of a child in kindergarten for family reasons (vacation, summer period, spa treatment, etc.), submit an application to the head of the institution.
10. The educator is not responsible for home toys brought to the kindergarten, decorations worn by the child.
11. Hand over the child personally to the caregiver and pick it up in person from the caregiver.
12. Only parents (mother or father) or legal representatives can pick up a child from kindergarten. If necessary, close relatives can pick up a child from kindergarten (by proxy, notifying the teacher in advance).
13. It is strictly forbidden for children under 18 to pick up a child from kindergarten.
14. Be ethical in your interactions with children, other parents, and daycare staff. Do not create conflict situations in the presence of children.
15. It is forbidden to come to the kindergarten under the influence of alcohol or drugs, smoke on the territory of the kindergarten, bring animals.
How to prepare your child for kindergarten | Entering Kindergarten
Let’s go to kindergarten!
It would seem that just yesterday you went shopping for newborns and with a sinking heart bought a dowry for your baby. But time passes unnoticed, and today you are already concerned about such a serious issue as the adaptation of a child in kindergarten.
For more than a dozen years there have been heated debates about whether a child needs a kindergarten. One side believes that the baby’s stay in kindergarten and his separation from his mother have an extremely negative impact on his psyche. Their opponents argue that the so-called “home” children subsequently have serious problems with adaptation in the children’s team.
It is rather difficult to say unequivocally which of them is right. Both points of view have the right to exist. The decision should be made only by parents, carefully weighing all the pros and cons. And in some cases (for example, a mother is forced to go to work), the answer to the question is obvious, since there is simply no other way out.
If there is still a kindergarten, parents should take care in advance that the adaptation period in kindergarten goes as smoothly and painlessly as possible. After all, it will depend on this whether going to the kindergarten for the baby will become a joy, or whether it will turn into daily torture and endurance “for strength” by both the child’s and the parent’s nervous system. It is a very dubious pleasure to drag a stubborn and screaming child into the garden by the hand, and so every day.
In order to avoid such a situation, and the period of adaptation in kindergarten passed without complications and unpleasant moments, it is necessary to start preparing for kindergarten at least six months before the expected start date of the visit. If such preparation is neglected, the consequences can be the most unfavorable, up to childhood neuroses.
Unfortunately, many parents believe that preparing for kindergarten is only about buying the necessary clothes and change of footwear, as well as going through a medical examination at the polyclinic. Of course, all this is simply necessary to do, but this is the very last stage in the process of preparing for kindergarten.
The training itself includes several components:
Information training;
Psychological training;
Physiological training.
To achieve the best result, preparation must begin in advance, otherwise it in itself will be a heavy psycho-emotional burden on the fragile psyche of the child …
Informational training
With the permission of the principal, “get to know” the kindergarten. Pay attention to the general atmosphere of the kindergarten, living conditions: the condition of playgrounds for walking, the general appearance of the surrounding area. In the building, pay attention to the condition of corridors, playrooms, bedrooms. All of the above information preparation is extremely useful, later you will see for yourself.
Read reviews about the kindergarten on the Internet, but do not unequivocally trust all the criticism, because it is easier to criticize than to offer constructive solutions to problems, and there are also just people who generally perceive the world negatively.
Believe me, the teams of all kindergartens in the city are doing everything possible and impossible to make the stay of children in a preschool institution as comfortable as possible.
Psychological preparation
So, parents make a decision: “we are getting ready for kindergarten”. The next step should be the psychological preparation of your baby. It must be carried out extremely carefully and in stages, so as not to get the opposite effect and ardent denial on the part of the baby.
Even if your child is an extremely inquisitive, lively and sociable baby, psychological preparation should not be neglected. After all, in a completely new and unfamiliar environment, even an adult will feel some psychological discomfort, and even a baby can withdraw into himself, which will lead to difficult adaptation in kindergarten.
As a rule, if you start preparing your child in advance for the need to attend kindergarten, adaptation is much easier. However, do not just put the child before the fact. To begin with, it is necessary to slightly interest him, and then give a clearer idea of \u200b\u200bwhat a kindergarten is.
To begin with, choose a route for walking with a child, which will run past the kindergarten. The time for a walk must be chosen exactly when the garden children will be on a walk. As a rule, any kid shows interest in a large number of kids playing on the playground. If suddenly your child has ignored this fact, carefully pay attention to it yourself.
You can tell your child that kindergarten is a wonderful place where children play, draw, sing. However, moms and dads are not allowed there so that they do not interfere with the children. Mothers and fathers bring the child in the morning and pick him up in the evening.
After this story, observe the child’s reaction. If the baby shows increased interest and asks you to take him to kindergarten too, explain to him that while it is impossible to go to kindergarten, you first need to grow up a little. Such walks should be done at least once a month.
If the child has not shown any interest, do not tell him that he will also soon go to kindergarten, otherwise the child will categorically reject everything related to kindergarten. You need to take such walks a little more often, in addition, try to tell your baby something extremely interesting related to kindergarten.
After the child gets a rough idea of what a kindergarten is, you can proceed to the second point of psychological preparation. Arrange with the head of the opportunity to visit the kindergarten with the baby. As a rule, parents manage to obtain such permission quite easily. Your little one can watch other kids play and even join in. Approximately 95% of children willingly play together with everyone.
In our kindergarten, there is a Child Play Support Center for children who do not attend a preschool institution (from 1 to 3 years old), where experienced teachers introduce kids to a new, “garden” life, teach them to exist in a team. In order to get into the CIPR, all you need is a certificate from a pediatrician about the baby’s health and a written statement from the parents. This is a pretty good way of psychological preparation, which should not be neglected.
In addition, parents can also make their child’s transition to kindergarten easier by using role-playing games. Play with your child by sending your favorite toy to kindergarten. You can play almost any situation, acquaint the baby with the rules of behavior in the kindergarten, with the daily routine, give the necessary communication skills with peers.
Similar games will be able to provide an invaluable service even at the time when the baby starts attending kindergarten. Watching the course of the game, you can learn a lot about the moral state of the baby and the psychological microclimate surrounding him. It is possible that the baby will prefer to remain silent about some problems, but observant parents during the game will always be able to notice that something is bothering their baby and find out what it is.
Physiological preparation for the kindergarten
Physiological preparation of the child for kindergarten attendance is no less important. The first thing to pay attention to is to teach the child the necessary self-care skills, such as:
• The ability to eat independently – use a fork and spoon, drink not from a bottle, but from a cup. It is also necessary to teach the child not to indulge in food. • Control your physiological needs, notify adults about your desire to go to the toilet. Teach your child how to use the toilet (from 3 years old). • Also, the child must be able to wash his hands and face, he must know what soap and towels are for. • It is highly desirable that the baby knows how to dress and undress himself. As a last resort, with the help of an adult. Of course, we are not talking about buttoning or zippering a three-year-old baby, but he should be able to pull on his panties on his own. • It is necessary to teach the child to know exactly where his things should be. This skill will be useful to you so that later you do not have to waste time looking for baby things that he will put in other people’s lockers.
These are, in fact, all the skills that a three-year-old child should have. Everything else he will learn as he grows up. However, it will not be superfluous for parents to check with the teachers of the selected kindergarten if they have any special requirements. Also, this must be done by those parents whose kids go to the nursery. As a rule, there are much less requirements for children under two years of age.
The next thing to pay attention to when doing physiological preparation is to strengthen the child’s immune system. Unfortunately, the adaptation period of children in kindergartens is often complicated by various diseases, which causes additional difficulties. Not only is the disease itself an extremely unpleasant thing, you also have to leave the baby at home. And after the illness, the baby is forced to adapt in a new circle. All this creates an additional burden on the psycho-emotional system of the child.
In order to avoid such a situation, it is necessary to pay attention to the baby’s immunity in advance. You should not, of course, give your child strong immunostimulating drugs just like that, for prevention. Their use is possible only after the appointment of a doctor – an immunologist.
However, you must make sure that the child receives all the necessary preventive vaccinations, make sure that the baby does not have various kinds of anemia and beriberi.
Some pediatricians recommend about a month before the start of the child’s visit to kindergarten to start giving the baby the pharmacological preparation “Glycine”, which is positioned by doctors as a means to facilitate the child’s adaptation period in kindergarten. Also, children who are often and for a long time ill are recommended to undergo a course of treatment with Viferon, which will gently and safely support children’s immunity. However, in any case, you should first consult with your treating pediatrician, who knows the characteristics of your child’s development and will be able to individually assess the needs of the child in the use of drugs.
Last but not least, the aspect of physiological preparation is the daily routine. A lot of parents just forget about it. But in fact, it is very important to accustom the baby to a certain daily routine. You need to first find out in the kindergarten the exact daily routine, and then start accustoming your baby to it.
Remember that it is unacceptable to transfer the baby to a new mode too abruptly, as this creates a significant burden on both the psyche and the body of the baby. Move your sleep or meal times by no more than 10 minutes each day. As a rule, it will take you from one to three months to completely switch to the desired regimen, but your efforts will be rewarded in full.
Let’s go to kindergarten!
So, the pre-kindergarten period is over, and now, finally, with a beating heart, you enter the group for the first time. What can be expected? Very often, the baby runs away headlong to the children, even forgetting to say goodbye to his mother. And the mother leaves with a light heart, rejoicing that the baby immediately got used to kindergarten and she will not have to face all the “charms” of the adaptation period in kindergarten.
However, after a few days, and maybe even the next, the child begins to cry desperately, clinging to the mother. And this is quite a normal phenomenon, since on the first day the baby simply did not fully realize the changes that kindergarten life brings. Of course, this is extremely upsetting for parents, who begin to doubt whether they did the right thing by deciding to send the baby to kindergarten. In fact, you should not worry so much, since the time for a child to adapt to kindergarten in most cases lasts from two weeks to a month. As a rule, almost all children face this. The following are the changes that occur with the baby and, in fact, cause the existing problems of getting used to the kindergarten:
• Emotional shock. As a rule, in the first days of visiting kindergarten, negative emotions take a leading position. Often the baby cries a lot: he just whimpers, or he has paroxysmal crying, crying “for company” with other children. Sometimes, looking at the teacher in the morning, trying to calm about 15 bitterly and heart-rendingly crying crumbs, one wants to sympathize with her. But only a few weeks of the period of adaptation of children in kindergarten pass, as the picture changes radically and in the morning teachers have the pleasure of seeing cute, satisfied children’s faces. • Difficult social contacts. As a rule, for the first time after starting kindergarten, even the most lively and sociable children can become very withdrawn and unsociable. Do not worry about this, it will take quite a bit of time, the baby will get used to it and become the same sociable child, willingly in contact with both peers and educators. • Decreased natural cognitive activity. The kid for some time may cease to be interested in the outside world. This is also a completely normal reaction – the baby prefers to take an observant position. As soon as he is convinced that there is nothing to fear, his curiosity will quickly return to him. • Moreover, very many children during the first days in the garden may lose the self-care skills they already have: the ability to use a spoon, dress themselves, and so on. However, very soon the skills will not only return in full, but will also be replenished with new skills. • Speech problems. Many children experience certain speech difficulties. Children may begin to distort, or shorten words, but if the baby is going through a particularly difficult adaptation in kindergarten, he may stop talking altogether for a while. Parents should not scold the child for this and force him. As soon as the adaptation is over, speech will be restored in full. • In addition, many parents are faced with a violation of the normal physical activity of the child. Some children can sit in one place for hours. And others, on the contrary, cannot sit still for a minute – it all depends on the temperament of each baby. As the development in the children’s team, the situation is sure to stabilize. • Sleep disturbance. As a rule, the first weeks the baby may experience difficulty falling asleep both during the day and at night. In addition, restless sleep, the appearance of nightmares are possible. This phenomenon is also temporary and will soon disappear without a trace. • Decreased appetite. Many children in the first days of visiting the kindergarten eat very poorly. There are two possible explanations for this: unusual food for the baby and a stressful situation, which in itself suppresses appetite. To exclude the first reason, it is necessary to introduce similar foods into the baby’s diet in preparation for kindergarten: soups, cereals, etc. • Some children in the adaptation period begin to get sick a little more often than usual. The only thing that parents can do is try to strengthen the immune system, as mentioned above. • Child psychologists provide general guidance on the Kindergarten Social Adjustment Program. Compliance with them will help reduce the chances that the adaptation period may drag on for an indefinite, long period.
In the first weeks of your child’s stay in preschool (about 2 weeks), experienced teachers will offer your child a gradual entry into the group. This is the most reasonable way to start your stay in kindergarten. In the first week, gradually increasing the time the child stays before daytime sleep, and in the second week it is already necessary to leave the baby to sleep, then until the evening. However, if the child has a difficult adaptation and he cries a lot in kindergarten, be patient, extend the period of gradual entry into the group, discuss the problem with teachers, a teacher-psychologist. Know that this is a difficult life situation for your child.
Firstly, for the first few days, it is desirable for mother and child to stay together in a group. At first, the child may be near you all the time, but after a while, interest in the environment will take over and the baby will begin to move away from you in order to play. The first visit to the kindergarten should last about an hour, the next day the time can be increased to two to three hours. After a few days, you need to leave the baby in the group alone.
Here lies the main mistake that many parents make. They leave at the moment when the baby is distracted. For a child, such a sudden disappearance can become a severe psychological trauma if the baby decides that his mother has abandoned him. It would be much more correct to let the child know that you are leaving. But be sure to promise the baby that you will pick him up immediately after playing, eating or walking. And, of course, try to pick up the child exactly at the promised time. This will allow the child to feel some kind of stability, which is so necessary for him for peace of mind.
Of course, the baby may start crying and won’t let you go. Here a teacher will come to your aid, who will do everything possible to divert the attention of the crumbs and calm him down. So many children continue to cry when their mother leaves, and after a week, and after a month. However, this does not always mean that the adaptation is proceeding incorrectly, or that it has been delayed. In most cases, the baby stops crying immediately after the parents leave, and spends the rest of the time playing, and does not even think about the parents.
Although the adjustment process is always frightening for parents, it goes by very quickly. After quite a bit of time, your baby will get used to the new role of a kindergartener for him and will feel like a full member of the children’s team.
The task of parents is to make it as easy as possible for their child to adapt to kindergarten. We hope that this information will help you at such a crucial stage of growing up your child.

New generation kindergarten and school on Perovskaya Street :: Changes :: Articles
Now, when building residential areas, designers must take into account the place where social facilities will be located in the future, including kindergartens and schools.
The Bolshoe Kuskovo residential complex was no exception, where a school and a kindergarten were built for small residents on individual projects. 9 buildings have already been built in the microdistrictresidential buildings with a total area of about 176 thousand sq.m. In addition, last year a kindergarten for 220 children was built here (Perovskaya street, vl.66, building 11).
Representative of PIK Group: « The kindergarten in Bolshoe Kuskovo Residential Complex was built according to an individual project using modern environmentally friendly materials and is fully equipped with modern equipment. The project is interesting from the point of view of architectural solutions. Unusual geometry and a combination of bright colors in the best way determine the functional load of a social object. The rounded corners of the building create a special plasticity of the facades, give them softness and expressiveness. Tapered high windows are located at different heights within each floor, which visually enlarges the building. ”
Recall that a few years ago the City Government decided to create a new generation preschool institution. Projects commissioned by the Moscow Committee for Architecture by the Department of Urban Development Policy of the capital and a number of large private developers are now collected in the Album of Basic Projects of Kindergartens Recommended for Construction in Moscow. Despite the fact that such projects are called “typical” or “reuse projects”, these landscape “recommendations” are used to build gardens that are completely different from each other. That is why the practice of working considerations by the chief architect of Moscow, Sergei Kuznetsov, is aimed at individualizing each kindergarten.
Representative of PIK Group: “The project received a positive opinion from the Moscow State Expertise and was included by the Department of Urban Planning Policy of Moscow in the list of existing preschool projects for the possibility of reuse. ”
The kindergarten in question is designed for 12 children’s groups (220 seats). It should be noted that other preschools of similar capacity are designed for 9-10 groups. That is, in the kindergarten designed by Mosproekt, there are fewer pupils in groups, on average – 15-20 children, while in others – 20-25.
The three-storied kindergarten is equipped with modern sports and music halls, cozy games and sleeping rooms, a study room, a medical room with an isolation room, a canteen and much more.
Representative of PIK Group: “The kindergarten is equipped with a full set of modern equipment and inventory, including computers, interactive whiteboards and tables, video projection and video recording equipment, musical instruments, furniture sets, toys, educational games, etc.”
A barrier-free environment has been created in the kindergarten: the building is fully adapted for groups with limited mobility, both for children and adults. Stairs are equipped with special handrails, the building has an elevator equipped with light and sound signals for the disabled. Also, at the entrance to the kindergarten, ramps were equipped, and in the yard, the sides of the sidewalks were specially made lowered for ease of movement in wheelchairs.
Representative of PIK Group: “The facility is equipped with a set of mandatory measures and equipment to ensure fire safety: an automatic fire alarm with transmission of a fire signal to the “01” control panel, a fire warning system, fire-safe zones for the disabled in elevator lobbies are equipped.
There is a video surveillance system for the building and territory of the preschool institution with a signal output to the guard post and an alarm and security alarm system with a signal output to the “02” remote control.
During the working review by the chief architect of the capital, the high quality of the architectural and urban planning solution of the building was noted, however, the customer was recommended to correct it in accordance with the requirements of the GPZU.
Representative of PIK Group: “The peculiarity of this kindergarten is that it is a completely individual project. The preschool institution was developed during the period when the Government of Moscow banned the use of outdated standard panel kindergartens, the absence of new standard projects for kindergartens that meet the new requirements of SanPiN and educational authorities. At the same time, the architects of Mosproekt and the PIK Group of Companies created a project that fully met the new requirements of the Department of Education in accordance with the terms of reference.”
A school is located next to the kindergarten (Perovskaya street, property 66, building 10). The four-story building is designed for 550 students. The school was also built according to an individual project developed by Workshop No. 11 at OAO Mosproekt.
Natalya Dobrovolskaya, chief architect of the design of workshop No. 11 at OAO Mosproekt: « The use of Henkel’s wet plaster made it possible to create an image of the building, distinguished by its unique color scheme.
Encouraging Communication in Children Who Are Nonverbal
In childhood, you learn that communication is the key to developing satisfying relationships. Communication is also how people express themselves; it’s how they relay thoughts, feelings, fears, needs and wants. So, what happens to communication when a child is nonverbal?
Being nonverbal is often associated with autism, but it’s a condition that can accompany other types of special needs including cerebral palsy, Down syndrome and some learning disabilities. A nonverbal person’s lack of speech can have a significant effect on the way they interact with family, friends and caregivers.
Here are some things to know about how to understand and connect with children and adolescents who are nonverbal.
Nonverbal Communication Is Still Communication
Most children who are nonverbal will learn how to communicate in some way, but it might not always be through spoken language. It’s important to remember that even though a child might not be able to speak, nonverbal communication (such as body language, facial expressions, writing or motioning) is still communication. And because every child is unique, it might take parents, teachers and caregivers a long time to determine which strategies work best for each child who is nonverbal. Some communication strategies include visual supports like picture books and flashcards and assistive technologies.
Some Children Eventually Develop Language
Promoting language development in children who are nonverbal is something parents, teachers and caregivers strive to do each and every day. The good news is, recent research offers a number of effective strategies that are giving hope to families everywhere. The strategies can be complicated and extensive, but below are simplified versions of a few that might be helpful.
Use simple language. It’s important to speak in a way that your child can understand. Autism Speaks suggests using the “one up rule.” For example, if your child is completely nonverbal, try using one word at a time. Instead of calling something an “apple tree” simply call it a “tree. ” When playing with a ball, simply say words like “ball” or “roll” as you’re rolling the ball. If your child is able to speak in one word phrases, then you should try two word phrases like “roll ball” or “throw ball.” This strategy helps children who are nonverbal push harder, but at a pace that works for them.
Leave space for communication. When you’re speaking with a friend or colleague, and the conversation naturally dies down, do you quickly think of something else to say just to fill the silence? Although it may ease the awkwardness, it’s very important not to do that when communicating with a child who is nonverbal. When you notice your child wants something, or after you ask a question, pause for a bit and look expectantly at the child. Watch for sounds or body movements, and then respond right away. The fact that you responded so quickly to your child’s style of communication will help them understand the back and forth nature of communication.
Find simple ways to enjoy your child’s company. Some parents of autistic children or children who are nonverbal find themselves searching for clues as to who their children are, what they need, and how to help them. It’s important to find simple, fun ways to connect with your child and really enjoy their company. When you relax, your child relaxes, and that can go a long way toward making a communication breakthrough. The safer and more comfortable your child feels with you, the easier it will be for them to communicate. Who knows, you might just find answers where you least expect them.
Playtime Is Important
All children, but especially children who are nonverbal, learn a lot through play. Some children even learn a lot of their language skills while playing with other kids. Finding interactive ways for your child to play is a great way to encourage language progression. Again, there are many theories on how to go about this, but here are some we think are worth looking at closely.
Focus on activities that encourage social interaction. Activities like singing, dancing, reciting nursery rhymes, physical games and even gentle roughhousing can promote communication. Playing with a variety of toys, like hula hoops, marbles, water beads, play dough, bean bags, Legos and dolls can help prevent the child from fixating on one specific toy.
Tactile experiences are important too. Make sure your child has the opportunity to play with a variety of toys like balls, play dough and blocks, all with different textures, shapes and colors. Make playing an interactive, educational experience by using a variety of colors and reviewing the color names as you play. Staying close to your child during play time can help them focus in case their minds start to wander.
Try imitation games and cause-and-effect toys. Imitation is a type of social play that isn’t very complex. Asking a child who is nonverbal to engage in imitation play like Simon Says can be a great way for them to socialize and build communication skills. Cause and effect toys are also important because they teach a child that when they do something, it causes a reaction. This helps create a positive sense of self awareness, and helps motivate the child to “cause” the “effect” again and again.
If you are a parent or caregiver struggling to communicate with a child who is nonverbal, be sure to talk with your care provider to see if they might have strategies or suggestions you haven’t tried yet. With any strategy, it is important to remain calm and patient. Children who are nonverbal, especially autistic children, are like sponges, soaking in and subsequently mirroring the emotions and moods of those around them. The more stressed and anxious a parent becomes, the more stressed out the child will be, and the more difficult any type of communication will become. But when parents learn to calm themselves first, it can do wonders for them and the child.
Communicating with a child who is nonverbal takes commitment, flexibility, persistence and patience and it’s important for parents and caregivers to trust their intuition. As parents and caregivers become calmer, their intuitions will start to kick in and help them see how their child is communicating
Nonverbal Communication in Children – Why Body Language Is So Important for Development
We all know the importance of our body language as adults. An eye roll, a shrug, a smile – all of these nonverbal signs play an important part in how we communicate with and understand the feelings of those around us.
One study even reported that up to 93% of all communication is non-verbal! That’s a lot of communicating we’re doing without even opening our mouths.
But have you ever thought about the importance of non-verbal communication in child development?
Nonverbal communication with a child at a young age has a big effect on their relationships with friends and family. It can also play a significant part in their emotional development and sense of self-worth.
Helping your child to develop good nonverbal communication skills is sure to make them a better listener and give them the skills needed to express their own emotions in a clear and mature way.
How can body language improve communication in kids?
So, how can teaching good nonverbal communication, and practicing it as often as possible, improve your kid’s communication skills?
Well, let’s use an example you might encounter quite a lot:
“Please can you tidy your room?”
Have you ever asked this question, only to be ignored? Probably.
But your nonverbal communication in this scenario can play an important part in how your kid responds to you. If you’re already annoyed or frustrated, your child might pick up on this from your body language – and respond badly as a result.
Getting down to your child’s level, making eye contact, smiling, and using a calm tone might just get your child to really listen to what you’re asking them to do – which can work wonders!
Practicing best-practice nonverbal communication with children can, therefore, help you to form a better parent-child relationship.
Good nonverbal communication will show your child that they’re really important to you. By focusing on your child and giving them your full attention, you’ll be improving their sense of self-worth, too.
What’s more, kids always mirror our behavior – so you’ll be helping your child to develop their own nonverbal communication skills as well. This’ll improve their listening skills, emotional intelligence, and empathy – which will help your little one to build meaningful relationships with others as they grow up.
5 nonverbal communication methods
So, what kinds of things count as nonverbal communication? There’s a good chance that you’re already doing a lot of them, without even realizing it!
1. Body movement
The way we move and carry ourselves can tell our children a lot about how we’re feeling about a situation.
If your kid sees you crossing your arms, slouching, or facing the opposite direction when they’re talking to you, they’ll quickly realize you’re not interested.
Instead, make sure you’re sitting up straight, facing in your child’s direction, or bending down to their level. This shows your child that you’re interested in what they’re doing or showing you and paying them your full attention.
2. Touch
Physical touch is a nonverbal communication method that children really respond well to.
Hugs and kisses are a big part of how we make our children feel safe and loved. Touch can say a thousand things without actually saying anything.
Sometimes it’s easy to forget how important physical touch actually is – so try and keep it in mind when you’re interacting with your child.
A gentle hand on their arm, a hug when they’re upset, or a kiss to show you appreciate them can make the world of difference.
It’s also a brilliant way to develop your child’s own nonverbal communication. It shows them that gentle touch is the correct way to interact with others. It also teaches that using touch in the wrong way when they’re angry is not acceptable.
3. Eye contact
Making eye contact with your child when they’re speaking to you is an excellent way to show you’re listening to and engaged in what they’re saying.
Eye contact is also a vital nonverbal communication skill for kids to develop at an early age. It’ll help them to build better relationships with others, connect with friends on a meaningful level, appear more confident, and – as an adult – perform well in interviews and presentations.
Make sure to use eye contact with your child as often and frequently as possible – when you ask them questions, when you talk to them about their day, and especially when they come to you with a problem.
4. Facial expressions
As adults, we know that facial expressions can provide a lot of insight into what someone is thinking – often even more so than the words they’re saying!
Try to be aware of what your face is saying when you’re interacting with your child. If they’re telling you a story or need some encouragement, smiling and widening your eyes can go a long way.
At the same time, if you’re not happy with something your child is doing – let your face do the talking. Your child will quickly realize when you’re telling them off with a frown.
5. Space
Space is something that we might not immediately think about when considering our nonverbal communication.
But have you ever felt uncomfortable when someone has invaded your space during a conversation?
Teaching your child how to correctly use space in their nonverbal communication is crucial. Show them the importance of giving people personal space, but also teach them how they can comfort people with a close hug.
Having an understanding of space as a nonverbal communication method plays a big part in your child’s development.

Non-Verbal Children Up to 6 Years of Age
Mar242020
Many conditions can hinder a child’s speech, including autism, cerebral palsy, dyspraxia, learning difficulties and selective mutism.
Communication is bigger than speech, though. You can help your non-verbal child communicate in many ways, using gestures, signs, assistive technology and words.
Parenting a non-verbal child can be frustrating and distressing but don’t give up hope – many kids do learn how to communicate more clearly and there are some key ways to help at home.
Non-Verbal Children up to 6 Years of Age
There’s usually a moment, near a child’s first birthday, when they delight their family by speaking their first clear word. Hearing those goo-goo-ga-ga babbles turn into a recognisable attempt at ‘Mamma’ or ‘Dadda’ is a special moment for many parents.
But what happens when the moment doesn’t come?
At first you probably reminded yourself that children develop at their own pace and some begin speaking later than others. Then, when faced with a non-verbal toddler or non-verbal child, you probably went to see a doctor to find out why. Eventually, you were told that your child has a condition affecting their ability to speak. You may have known about this since they were very young (at birth, even) or you may still be processing the news.
Your child is a wonderful, special person with their own unique personality. They will be trying to communicate in various ways. And there are many ways you can help, which will be explained below. But first, let’s look at the reasons some children may be non-verbal and understand the difference between communication and language.
Why Is My Child Non-Verbal?
There are many conditions that can affect a child’s speech. Some common ones are:
Non-verbal autism or minimally verbal autism, which impairs social interactions
Verbal dyspraxia, which means a child can’t control their mouth, tongue and jaw movements well enough to speak
Learning disabilities that affect language development
Non-verbal learning disorder, a neurological condition that makes it hard to understand information
Phonological disorders, which make it hard for your child to make speech sounds
Cerebral palsy, a physical disability affecting movement
Selective mutism, an anxiety disorder that causes your child not to speak.
The Difference Between Communication and Language
We communicate in many different ways and for different purposes. We might use words to communicate or we might use other tools like facial expressions or body language. We might blow a kiss to demonstrate affection, pull a face to express our dislike of cabbage soup, make eye contact to share a private joke, or point to indicate a certain place.
Language, on the other hand, relies on words, whether they’re spoken, written down or signed. Your child may learn how to use some spoken language. Many children with non-verbal autism, for example, do prove capable of speech. One study of over 500 children aged 8-17 with severe language delays due to autism found that nearly half became fluent speakers and two-thirds learned how to speak in simple phrases.
Even if your child doesn’t gain language skills, they can still be helped to communicate using Augmentative and Alternative Communication. This might be aided by software or objects, or might be unaided, relying on tools like eye contact, facial expression, signs and gestures.

How Can I Help My Non-Verbal Child to Communicate?
Think of your child’s communication skills like a staircase. They are not likely to leap from the bottom step to the top. Instead, the goal is to start where they are now and move them up a step at a time. They may not reach the top, but they will have made progress.
Here are some strategies to encourage communication with your non-verbal child. As mentioned above, there are many conditions that can hinder children’s speech. This advice is of a general nature only, but may still be beneficial in the run-up to seeing a speech pathologist.
1. Communicate Non-Verbally
Non-verbal communication may be an end in itself or it may be a bridge to using language. We all rely on non-verbal communication everyday when we wave goodbye, smile at a friend or roll our eyes at a bad joke. These are valuable ways of communicating.
You can encourage your child’s non-verbal communication by modelling it yourself. Use expressive hand gestures, clap to give praise, point to the toy when you say ‘There’s your bear’, shake your head when you say ‘No’ and nod it when you say ‘Yes’.
2. Describe Things and Activities
Talk to your child often. Not an endless stream of pointless chatter but a deliberate effort to use certain simple words and phrases when interacting with your child.
When you’re playing together, add in some descriptive words like, ‘Here is the red duck. Here is the blue duck’. Or play sorting games where you organise things by size (big or little) or colour. You are adding to their language bank each time.
3. The Copycat Game
Imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery but it’s also a great way to interact with a non-verbal child. If your child makes a noise, then copy them and make a new noise of your own. Maybe they’ll copy yours. It’s the beginning of wordless communication using sounds.
4. Pause
In any conversation, people take turns speaking and listening. Because communicating with a non-verbal child can be slow and frustrating, there’s an easy temptation to rush on and fill the gaps for them. Try to take a few deep breaths and wait for their response, whatever it might be. If you’ve asked, ‘Would you like an apple?’ they might, in time, nod or point to the fruit bowl or shake their head and open the fridge to get a yogurt.
5. Make the Most of Technology
One of the wonders of the digital age is the way it enables people with language difficulties to communicate and deepen relationships with others.
Assistive technology may help a non-verbal child express themselves – and you may be surprised at what they know and how much they want to say! Your persistent descriptions, games and non-verbal communications may mean they do in fact know their colours or can reveal a cheeky sense of humour.
If your child has an NDIS Plan, it may include funding for assistive technology. If it doesn’t, and you think it would be beneficial, then you may be able to get it included in next year’s plan.
It is a great joy to watch a child learn how to express themselves and connect with others. The main message, really, is not to give up hope. Many children do learn to communicate, whether that’s using speech, assistive technology or other communication methods. We don’t yet know your child’s communication potential but we look forward to helping your family make progress to easier and deeper communication.

Teaching nonverbal autistic children to talk
March 19, 2013
Still among our most popular advice posts, the following article was co-authored by Autism Speaks’s first chief science officer, Geri Dawson, who is now director of the Duke University Center for Autism and Brain Development; and clinical psychologist Lauren Elder.
Researchers published the hopeful findings that, even after age 4, many nonverbal children with autism eventually develop language.
For good reason, families, teachers and others want to know how they can promote language development in nonverbal children or teenagers with autism. The good news is that research has produced a number of effective strategies.
But before we share our “top tips,” it’s important to remember that each person with autism is unique. Even with tremendous effort, a strategy that works well with one child or teenager may not work with another. And even though every person with autism can learn to communicate, it’s not always through spoken language. Nonverbal individuals with autism have much to contribute to society and can live fulfilling lives with the help of visual supports and assistive technologies.
Here are our top seven strategies for promoting language development in nonverbal children and adolescents with autism:
Encourage play and social interaction. Children learn through play, and that includes learning language. Interactive play provides enjoyable opportunities for you and your child to communicate. Try a variety of games to find those your child enjoys. Also try playful activities that promote social interaction. Examples include singing, reciting nursery rhymes and gentle roughhousing. During your interactions, position yourself in front of your child and close to eye level – so it’s easier for your child to see and hear you.
Imitate your child. Mimicking your child’s sounds and play behaviors will encourage more vocalizing and interaction. It also encourages your child to copy you and take turns. Make sure you imitate how your child is playing – so long as it’s a positive behavior. For example, when your child rolls a car, you roll a car. If he or she crashes the car, you crash yours too. But don’t imitate throwing the car!
Focus on nonverbal communication. Gestures and eye contact can build a foundation for language. Encourage your child by modeling and responding these behaviors. Exaggerate your gestures. Use both your body and your voice when communicating – for example, by extending your hand to point when you say “look” and nodding your head when you say “yes.” Use gestures that are easy for your child to imitate. Examples include clapping, opening hands, reaching out arms, etc. Respond to your child’s gestures: When she looks at or points to a toy, hand it to her or take the cue for you to play with it. Similarly, point to a toy you want before picking it up.
Leave “space” for your child to talk. It’s natural to feel the urge to fill in language when a child doesn’t immediately respond. But it’s so important to give your child lots of opportunities to communicate, even if he isn’t talking. When you ask a question or see that your child wants something, pause for several seconds while looking at him expectantly. Watch for any sound or body movement and respond promptly. The promptness of your response helps your child feel the power of communication.
Simplify your language. Doing so helps your child follow what you’re saying. It also makes it easier for her to imitate your speech. If your child is nonverbal, try speaking mostly in single words. (If she’s playing with a ball, you say “ball” or “roll.”) If your child is speaking single words, up the ante. Speak in short phrases, such as “roll ball” or “throw ball.” Keep following this “one-up” rule: Generally use phrases with one more word than your child is using.
Follow your child’s interests. Rather than interrupting your child’s focus, follow along with words. Using the one-up rule, narrate what your child is doing. If he’s playing with a shape sorter, you might say the word “in” when he puts a shape in its slot. You might say “shape” when he holds up the shape and “dump shapes” when he dumps them out to start over. By talking about what engages your child, you’ll help him learn the associated vocabulary.
Consider assistive devices and visual supports. Assistive technologies and visual supports can do more than take the place of speech. They can foster its development. Examples include devices and apps with pictures that your child touches to produce words. On a simpler level, visual supports can include pictures and groups of pictures that your child can use to indicate requests and thoughts. For more guidance on using visual supports, see Autism Speaks ATN/AIR-P Visual Supports Tool Kit.
Your child’s therapists are uniquely qualified to help you select and use these and other strategies for encouraging language development. Tell the therapist about your successes as well as any difficulties you’re having. By working with your child’s intervention team, you can help provide the support your child needs to find his or her unique “voice.”
Autism Speaks continues to fund research on therapies that promote language development as well as supports and services that can improve communication and quality of life for nonverbal individuals.

Abstract
A paradign was tested for measuting the tendency of children to send accurate nonverbal signals to others via spontaneous facial expressions and gestures. This paradign was derived from studies on adults that suggest that women are more accurate nonverbal “sendres” than men in certain situations. Eighteeen male and 11 female preschoolers (aged 4 to 6 years) watched a series of emotionally loaded color slides while they were observed via a hidden television camera by their mothers. Results indicated that significant overall communciation occurred, with large individual differences in “sending ability” between children. There was no evidence of a large sex difference in sending ability in choldren, although on one measure girls were more accurate senders than boys when viewed by undergraduates. Sending ability was positively related to teacher’s ratings of activity level, aggressiveness, impulsiveness, bossiness, sociability, etc., and negatively related ti shyness, cooperation, emotional inhibition and control, etc.

6 Strategies – Encouraging a Non-Verbal Child to Communicate
As a parent of a child with Autism Spectrum Disorder, one of the biggest challenges you could face relates to one of the most fundamental aspects of being a doting parent: understanding your child’s wants and needs.
You want nothing more in this world than to be able to know when your child is hungry and what they would like to eat… or when they need some extra attention and comforting. You might struggle to tell whether your child is amused with the things going on around them… or scared and bewildered. You might find yourself unsure of whether your child feels comfortable and secure in an unfamiliar environment… or anxious and apprehensive.

Without knowing when your child is hungry or cold or feeling insecure or frightened, it might feel impossible to be the best parent you can be. For many parents, this is a scary situation that comes with a lot of worry. Having a child with autism makes this difficult enough, but if your child is non-verbal the challenges are compounded. This could easily become something that keeps you up at night.
It was a long held belief that children who remained non-verbal after the age of four would never speak, but a 2013 study published by the American Academy of Pediatrics showed there was reason to hold out hope. The study looked at 500 children and concluded that non-verbal kids can, in fact, learn to speak later in life, with some developing language skills and a surprising level of fluency even in their teenage years.
This means that engaging a non-verbal child doesn’t necessarily mean being resigned to non-verbal methods of communication forever. New breakthroughs have shown that you can actually use non-verbal methods as a way to begin encouraging your child to use words… and in the meantime develop effective strategies for figuring out what they want and need.
It’s always important to remember that no two children with ASD are the same. A strategy that works for one child, might not work for another. But there are some tried and tested techniques parents can use to get through to a non-verbal child, and just as importantly, to help the child convey their needs and desires to parents.
Here you’ll find the six strategies we believe are most effective in fostering communication with a non-verbal child:
Nonverbal Communication is a Bridge to Language Development
While speaking is the goal for many parents, many children can find equally effective ways to communicate nonverbally. In fact, many of these non-verbal communications, like hand gestures and eye contact, are the building blocks for language. So, it’s important to encourage their development as a precursor to speech.
Be sure to model these behaviors for your child by exaggerating your own hand gestures and making it easy for your child to copy you. When you want your child to pick up a toy, don’t just ask them, but point to the toy with your hand and nod “yes” when they select the right one.
Clapping, holding out your arms, and opening your hands are universally recognized gestures even a young, non-verbal child is likely to be able to interpret.

Play and Social Interaction Create Lots of Opportunities to Describe Things
Your child will have plenty of opportunities to learn and interact socially through play. Playing games your child enjoys, especially those involving sorting and matching, are a great option, because they work on visual and motor skills, as well as communication.
Anything to get your kid using their hands, like play dough, creates lots of opportunities for them to describe the tactile experience, using gestures at first, then eventually words. The connection between physical sensations and being compelled to describe the feeling can be very strong.
You can even get musical by singing or playing toy instruments. When playing with your child, always be sure to place yourself at eye level so your child can easily see and hear you while you play together and learn from watching what you do.
Imitation is a Form of Communicating Mutual Understanding
Another great strategy for parents of non-verbal children is imitation. The cool thing about imitation is that it can go both ways, just like a conversation!
You start off by imitating your child, how they sound and play, to encourage them to do more of both. Imitation games are as simple as it sounds: If your child stacks a lego on their tower, you stack a lego on yours. If your child knocks the tower over, you knock yours over too!
All the basic items found in any toy box, whether balls, legos, cars, dolls, action figures or books, give you an opportunity to engage in games that involve role playing as a way to interact and communicate with gestures and imitation that don’t necessarily require words at first.
Let Your Child Set the Pace and the Topic That Holds Their Interest
It’s important to take your child’s lead. Allowing your child to choose the topic and set the pace is a great way to make sure they don’t lose focus. Follow along with what your child is already doing and narrate their activity using words. So, if your child is sorting shapes, say “square” when they hold up that shape and “in” when they place that piece in its proper basket.
This way, you are allowing your child to focus on what they are interested in and encouraging your child to connect the words with their chosen activity.
Choosing your words so that they are easier for your child to understand is a wise idea. You may consider talking to your child using only single words like “take” or “ball” in the beginning. Using a single word makes things very simple for your child to understand and imitate. Then, as your child starts using these words, you can add a word to the phrase, like “take toy” or “roll ball.” You can keep building on the phrases to they are able to convey complete ideas in full sentences.
Consider Using Assistive Devices
There are many types of assistive devices available that are designed to help children and adults with ASD who struggle to communicate, both those who are capable of talking and those that are completely non-verbal. It’s important to understand that these devices are not just meant to take the place of speech; they are designed to be a foundation for communication as well.
Visual supports also help children to make requests and share thoughts by touching pictures that then produce words. There are many devices available, as well as apps that can be downloaded directly to your phone or tablet.

Avoid the Urge to Respond for Your Child and Give Them Some Space
Keep in mind that sometimes your child may not respond, or respond fully. And that is okay. You may feel the urge to complete sentences, mouth the responses you’re hoping to hear, or answer questions on their behalf when someone else is asking, but it’s okay to give them the space to answer, even if the answer simply isn’t coming.
Children with ASD need time and space to think and process. And, sometimes, they aren’t going to answer at all. But you have to keep providing them with the opportunities to respond rather than doing it for them.
Wait several seconds after you answer a question and look at your child with interest. Watch for any signs of sound or movement. And, if they do offer a response of any kind, be sure to react and respond quickly. Providing this kind of reinforcement can be the most empowering thing you can do for your child.
Tips for Parents – Child Development
According to research, body language accounts for 93% of the information sent. Who would have thought that our facial expressions and pantomimes could speak so loudly?..
Giving children all sorts of instructions, not many parents think about non-verbal ways of communicating with them. And non-verbal communication has a long-term impact on how children listen, behave, absorb information and talk to other people. It also influences how they treat us as parents and how children look in the eyes of other people. Non-verbal communication can have a major impact on how a child will like the people around him and on the opportunities that he will have in the future. Undoubtedly, this type of communication has a huge impact on the fate of children.
It is important for us as parents to remember that children often respond not to our words, but to the way they are presented. We need to carefully model the behavior we want to see in our children. Therefore, we must improve our own non-verbal communication skills so that they can effectively learn from us and improve their social skills. Fortunately, there are many ways to positively impact our children’s comprehension and communication skills. The following are helpful tips for parents.
1. The importance of eye contact
Parents often ignore the importance of eye contact with their children. And in vain, since good eye contact between parents and the child is an important tool for the normal development of the baby. When the child closely follows the expression on the parents’ faces, he receives clues to understand their verbal utterances. At the same time, it is important for the child to focus his attention not only on the face, but also on the movement of the lips. This makes our statement more “readable” and perceptible.
2. Talking at a child’s level
When you lean in and talk to your child at eye level, you are not only friendly and scary, but also make your statement easier and more audible. Educators are often encouraged to teach on the same horizontal plane as children in order to build and strengthen bonds with students.
3. Using an open posture for communication
arms around the shoulders, we demonstrate to children that we are ready to accept what they have to say. This hand position makes children want to communicate with us and listen to us.
4. Positive facial expression
A smile, the corners of the lips turned up, as well as eyes that express interest and are wide open with excited anticipation, influence children’s reactions to our statements. A positive expression on the face of parents encourages them to respond positively. Here it is important to take into account that the emotional experiences of children when communicating with other people shape their reactions throughout their lives.
5. Mutual, joint attention
The joint attention of parents and children to an object (for example, when the parent gets down on the floor with the child to clean up the dirt, instead of ordering the child to clean up the mess himself) is extremely important in attracting the child’s interest in a pressing topic. When we consider and evaluate a topic of conversation with our children, we engage them on a deeper level.
A study was conducted on the development of a child’s vocabulary and joint attention. The results indicate that children who learned words by completing tasks with their parents had a larger vocabulary. If the child does not pay attention to you and your words, approach him or even point out the problem to him. It is to be hoped that next time he will do as you have instructed him.
6. Tone of voice and intonation (paralanguage) when talking to children
It’s no secret that babies and young children love their mother’s language (mother’s high tone of voice). There was a study that found that maternal language helps babies determine where words begin and where they end, and thus recognize sounds, syllables, words, and finally sentences. Children also become more involved in conversations with their parents when they use a high-pitched and varying rhythm of speech.
7. Gestures
Head nodding, thumbs up and hands raised in excitement also have a positive effect on interaction with children. This is how we non-verbally express understanding and support to them.
8. Sounds (uh-huh, mmm, ah)
Parents’ use of vocal responses (not verbal) when talking to a child demonstrates to him that we are interested in what he is saying. These sounds encourage the child, as we show that we are listening very carefully.
9. Closeness between parent and child
When children are small, it is very important that the space (distance) between them and their parents is relatively small (30–60 cm). As children become teenagers, this space naturally expands and requires more parental attention.
10. Movement (movements that parents should/should not make)
In order to show our child our interest in talking to him, our movements should be limited to gestures and facial expressions. Parental walking not only distracts the child, but also disrupts the closeness and bonding with the baby that is essential for effective communication.
It’s amazing how attention to non-verbal communication and a few small adjustments to it can have such a profound effect on our connection with children and how they will interact with the world around them. Use the tips presented in this article, and you will be pleasantly surprised.
Two Minute Action Plan for Parents
Take a moment to reflect on your last conversation with your child.
Did the child agree with what you said?
What other non-verbal signals did you send to the child in addition to the spoken words? Has it affected your baby’s reaction to you?
On average, how many times per day do you show positive gestures, tone of voice and facial expressions?
How often do you get down to the child’s level and connect with him before you try to correct him?
Parent Long Term Action Plan
As a first step to improving nonverbal communication skills, parents need to learn to better understand the nonverbal information they send along with their words. Throughout the next week, pay close attention to this aspect of communication with children.
Then choose one of the tips above and purposefully implement it in your communication. For example, you can methodically learn to use a softer, more open expression in conversation.
Yes, you may feel a little unnatural at first, but the reactions you will see from the children will more than pay off all your efforts!
How to teach communication to a non-verbal child?

Description of the main and most effective approaches to the development of speech in non-verbal children with autism
Translation: Yana Shalimova Source: I Love ABA
Quite often, children with autism do not speak at all, or they develop speech with a large delay. Sometimes this is due to medical problems such as tongue problems or apraxia. However, much more often this is due to impairments in the areas of motivation and social interaction. Speech delays can also be caused by advanced ear infections, which can lead to hearing loss and hamper speech development at a critical time.
The term “non-verbal” refers to a person who does not use voice to communicate (the clinical term is “non-vocal” because verbal behavior may include communication without sounds, such as sign language). In most cases, instead of language, these children use ineffective or inappropriate ways of communicating. Most of the guys I worked with were non-verbal when we met. Typically, these children communicated by pointing fingers, guiding me to the right place, or (most often) expressing their needs through behavior. In my practice, I have observed several babies who, without saying a word, could get everything they wanted. Parents understood that two shouts meant “turn on the TV”, crying meant “take me in your arms”, and pushing away a brother or sister meant “I don’t want to play”, etc.
When working with non-verbal children, your goal is not to get the child to speak. The main task is to teach the child effective communication . Even verbal children are not always capable of communication. If I teach a five-year-old child to name colors and body parts, but he is not able to tell me that he wants to eat, then this is an example of a child who can speak, but does not use speech to communicate.
It is important to realize that “non-verbal” is not just someone who cannot speak. How does the child communicate? Do you get the impression that he understands a lot more by ear than he can say? Does the child hum to himself, name parts of words, sing songs or melodies? Does the child scream when upset or make mute sounds? I can say from my experience that if a non-verbal child has vocal stereotypes or echolalia (repetition of other people’s words and phrases), then this increases the likelihood that he will become verbal. A child who echoes words, sings, or babbles is more likely to be able to speak.
Behavior work plays a huge role in the development of communication. This has to be repeated over and over again: non-verbal or non-communicative children are characterized by the most problematic and difficult to correct types of behavior. Why is it so? Try to imagine that you are in a society where no one speaks your language. If you speak English, then everyone around you speaks French. If you speak Arabic, then everyone around you speaks German. Now imagine that you are hungry, and you need to somehow convince these people to feed you. And how long can you point and gesticulate before you start pushing people and throwing things?
If a child lacks an innate motivation for social interaction, and the people around him do not additionally motivate him for this, then it will be much easier for him to get his own way with the help of unwanted behavior. A child who is allowed to throw a plate on the floor at the end of a meal, which means “I ate”, has no reason to think about how to put it into words, how to pronounce it and communicate to others.
Encouragement for communication plays a huge role. When a child with autism learns to communicate with other people, you should always have at hand the rewards he desires. You might be thinking, “Why should I encourage my child to speak? Because my older kids just started talking and didn’t get M&M’s for it.” A key feature of autism is qualitative impairments in the field of communication. This may mean that the child does not speak at all, has speech delays, or has a command of the language but no motivation to use it.
There are several approaches to teaching non-verbal children to communicate (and behavioral analysts/counselors often advise using several methods at once):
Methods of teaching communication
Verbal behavioral approach (ABA) There are many directions in the field of applied behavior analysis (ABA) , and the verbal behavioral approach is one of them. This method focuses on the development of functional speech. The starting point in this approach is the internal motivation of the child, who receives rewards to reinforce various types of communication (requests, naming, and so on). In this approach, language is taught just like any other behavior, and each component of speech is divided into small steps. For example, if a child loves ice cream very much, then the first thing they are taught is to pronounce the word “ice cream”. Thus, the child’s desire to get what he wants is used to stimulate his speech. You say ice cream, you get ice cream. The verbal behavioral approach also uses repetition, prompting, and the gradual formation of the desired response. If a child is taught to ask for a ball, then “ma” is accepted as a request first. Over time, with careful data collection and analysis, the criteria become more stringent until the child can clearly say “ball”.
Speech therapy. Of the ten clients I work with, 6-7 usually also visit a speech therapist. Many parents believe that speech therapy is the only way to help a non-verbal child speak. Speech therapists work with problems such as stuttering, articulation disorders, eating/swallowing difficulties, and the like. I know children who have made great strides with the help of a speech therapist, and I have worked with those who have not been affected by these services. They received speech therapy for years, and began to speak after a few months of ABA therapy. As a client, it is important for you to find a speech therapist who has knowledge and experience specifically in the field of autism or behavioral therapy. It is also important to pay attention to the intensity of training. Many of the children I work with only have an hour and a half a week with a speech therapist. For a non-verbal, low-functioning autistic child, such therapy is not enough to make any meaningful changes.
Sign language. When you name the surrounding objects, always accompany them with a gesture, so that when the child hears the word, he simultaneously learns the corresponding gesture. Considering sign language as a form of communication, one should always take into account the age of the child and his fine motor skills. If your child has fine motor skills and is unable to complete a sequence of complex gestures, sign language may not be the best option. Age is important because you need to consider the breadth of your child’s social circle. If he’s two years old and spends all day with his mom and dad, then sign language is probably fine. And if the child is 11 years old, he goes to school, an extended day group, and then to the karate section, then all the people with whom he communicates must understand his gestures. If a child walks up to a teacher on a school playground and gestures for a “red notebook,” will the teacher understand? In the event that children do not receive a prompt response to their gestures, they may simply stop using them. Another common mistake when teaching a child to sign language is getting stuck on the “more” gesture. Many specialists and parents teach the child the “more” gesture, and, unfortunately, he transfers this gesture to all situations. The child begins to approach everyone in a row and repeat the “more” gesture when others have no idea what he wants. “What more? Now imagine how upset a child is when he is not understood. If you decide to teach your child the “more” gesture, then be sure to teach him to use the gesture only in tandem with the name of what he wants.
Communication Picture Exchange System (PECS). With the PECS system, the child learns to exchange photos of the items he wants for the items themselves. PECS images are easy to use, take with you, and can describe in detail everything in the child’s environment. With PECS, you can teach your child to make a request in a whole sentence, ask for several things at once, tell how the day went, just talk, etc. The advantage of PECS over gestures is that pictures or photographs can be understood by anyone. If a child inaccurately shows a gesture, then no one will understand what he wants. With the PECS system, you can use pictures or real photos of the items, whichever suits your child best. Another advantage of PECS compared to gestures is that this system is suitable for communicating with peers. A typical three-year-old child might not understand the “play” gesture, but they will definitely understand that a card with a picture of a doll house means “Do you want to play with a doll house?” Disadvantages of this system that parents have reported to me include the difficulty of constantly adding different photos/pictures, and if the child’s interests change quickly, then the cards have to be changed quickly as well.
Auxiliary communication devices. Using an assistive communication device will allow the child to create speech using a voice synthesizer. The child inserts pictures, types or presses buttons, and the device reproduces the corresponding words using an artificial voice. Since this is a technological device, it is necessary that the child has sufficient intellectual ability to use it independently of adults. However, if you have an iPad, there are excellent communication apps (such as Proloquo 2 Go) that allow non-verbal children to communicate with just a few finger movements. The advantage of such technologies is that they are suitable for people with different physical abilities, as they can be modified and adapted for children who have low vision, cannot type, or are hard of hearing. These apps and devices are easy to take with you and allow your child to quickly communicate what they want, what they think, how they feel about things, and what they need. Some devices can be programmed on an as-needed basis, filling in specific information that cannot be matched with a photo (such as the long knock-knock joke). Other devices are more limited and difficult to program for extended conversations or dialogue.
Language immersion. This method is commonly used in preschools or kindergartens that accept children with special needs. Throughout the day in the group, the child is immersed in an environment that motivates him to speak. Each item is clearly named and each child engages in conversation even if they cannot speak (“David, is my jacket blue? Nod if my jacket is blue”). Teachers work individually with each child, teaching him to play in turn, maintain eye contact and pay attention to the same thing as the other person. In my opinion, such classes are very similar to the Kegel method or training in basic reactions, one of the ABA approaches. The advantage of language immersion, as well as teaching basic communication skills, is that parents can easily use this method with their child. Such techniques focus on those stages of development that usually lead to the first words, such as babbling, distinguishing sounds, imitation, responding to oral instructions, and communicating through gestures. Individual work with a child includes natural communication and encouragement. For example, you can respond to a child’s babble as if it were words and keep the conversation going. Describe your actions and what the child is doing, even if he does not answer you in any way (“We are going up the stairs. Let’s count the steps: 1, 2, 3, 4 …”). When you say this, keep eye contact, build on common interests with your child, and make learning fun.
The sheer variety of programs, books, resources, and clinics that promise to teach autistic children to speak can be confusing for parents. Choose a program very responsibly and trust only those methods that have been researched and approved, as well as those that clearly and clearly describe how this method works and what it includes. If you need to pay for treatment or order a book to figure out how the method works, then this is a reason to be suspicious.
Whatever option you choose to teach your child to communicate will only be effective in different places and with different people if you provide support for the desired behavior. The child must learn that from now on, others will not accept anything other than his communication system. This means that if you taught a child to ask for cookies with a gesture, then he can no longer climb onto the kitchen table to get a jar of cookies from the refrigerator. Make communication with you a requirement, or the child will never communicate.
The child must also understand that communication with people leads to good results. If the child has just learned the request for “juice”, then every time he says “juice”, you need to give him some juice. The child must see that through communication you can quickly get what he needs or wants.
If you have started using a communication system for a child with autism, but the results are not satisfactory, then ask yourself the question: “Is this communication system the only way for the child to get what he wants/needs?” If not, then perhaps this is the reason for the lack of improvement.
** Important tip: It is very important for the learning and development of speech to start the intervention at the earliest stages. If you want to achieve the best results, then you need to start exercising with your child as early as possible. However, research shows that hope is not lost for older non-verbal children with autism. It will be more difficult for an older child to learn to speak, but, nevertheless, it is possible. The most effective methods for working with children over 5 years of age include the use of speech-generating devices (which do not suppress language) and developmental approaches that aim to develop divided attention.

Significance of non-verbal communication in infancy for mental development

1. History of the study
The study of preverbal communication at an early age is a very exciting and exciting activity, as it is connected with the mysterious and touching world of infancy, when the first shoots of the human soul are born. This relatively young direction in developmental psychology is experiencing a real research boom in our time. Not surprisingly, the interests of neuropsychology, developmental psychology, and psycholinguistics are focused in this area of research. On the part of practitioners – psychologists, psychotherapists, psychoanalysts – there is a huge interest in understanding the origins of communication and speech, since it is they who have to deal with the complex, sometimes mysterious, difficult to explain consequences of developmental disorders that occurred at the very beginning of the life path of patients.
The history of this extremely interesting branch of knowledge is divided into several stages. Even at the beginning of the century, the close attention of scientists was riveted to discoveries in the field of embryology and early postnatal development. Early ontogeny was seen as a consequence predetermined by the action of metaphysical forces, such as the vegetative soul, or psychic heat. In this regard, the concept of “critical periods” in behavioral epigenesis arose, according to which events that occur with a child at certain periods of time and are caused by outside interference can subsequently lead to tangible changes in his behavior [13].
For the first time, the decisive significance of early childhood experience for the further mental development of the child was postulated in psychoanalytic theory. Engaged in a retrospective search for traces of childhood experiences, 3. Freud laid the foundation for a new tradition in psychiatry and psychology. The experience experienced by the child during this period began to be regarded as the foundation for further mental development, and it was attributed a decisive role in the emergence of possible neurotic and mental disorders in adult patients. The founders of child psychoanalysis A. Freud, M. Klein, S. Isaacs were the first to move from retrospective analysis in a therapeutic context to direct observation of children. A new impetus to the study of early childhood experiences came from observations of infants brought up in the absence of a mother. This marked the beginning of empirical research in this area. Based on a large number of similar observations, M. Ribble [31] was the first to put forward the idea that the absence of maternal love and care can cause physical and mental disorders, in the most severe cases leading to insanity. Subsequently, many of her hypotheses were empirically proven by data from studies of infants separated from their mothers during the war and orphans from infant shelters [6,10,30,35].
The study of maternal deprivation in animals can be considered the first experimental study of preverbal communication. One group of researchers found that mice and rats learn and develop physically and emotionally more successfully and faster if they receive a certain dose of affectionate tactile contact [37]. Another group of scientists analyzed the influence of specific components of maternal behavior on the mental development of rhesus monkey cubs and investigated how and to what extent it is possible to replace an absent mother [11, 12]. An interesting discovery was made: the absence of a mother has a different effect on different species of monkeys; mothers, fathers and other relatives take an unequal part in caring for offspring.
Even then, in child psychiatry, there was an idea of the exceptional importance of maternal care for the successful mental development of the child. Maternal care was considered indispensable, and the success of the development of the relationship between mother and child was made exclusively dependent on the level of emotional contact in the couple. This theory, first put forward by D. Bowlby [3], then received its further development in psychiatric practice. However, its limitations were as follows: rhesus monkeys provide an acceptable model for studying the development of human behavior. At the same time, the existence of specifically human forms of behavior, different from those observed in primates, was completely ignored. In part, this situation was due to insufficient knowledge at that time of the phylogeny and ontogenesis of human behavior.
From this moment began a vigorous study of the early stages of the development of behavior and preverbal communication. Technological advances have made it possible to make new observations and develop new methods for evaluating data. The relevance and importance of ongoing work in this area predetermined the interdisciplinary nature of research and the growth in the number of scientists employed in it. Psychiatrists and psychotherapists have recognized that an infant’s development can only be seen in the context of its relationship with its mother or other caregivers in its social environment, and that early forms of interaction mean more than mere emotional exchange. They became interested in the possibility of having a preventive therapeutic effect on the parent-child relationship at an early age. The key moment in the history of the issue was the First World Congress on Infant Psychiatry in Cascais (Portugal, 1980), where new theoretical and methodological achievements in the field of preverbal communication were presented, therapeutic possibilities were clarified, and the idea was expressed of the inadmissibility of overdiagnosis of mental disorders at an early age.
2. The infant’s contribution to communication
In contrast to previous ideas about the infant as a passive participant in communication, who has only the simplest emotional reactions, the idea that a newborn, experiencing new experiences, i.e. gaining new experience, he can learn and express his own intentions [5, 16, 17]. A number of studies have confirmed that as early as 4-month-old babies, as a result of gaining new experience, they build their own basic representations (or concepts) and behave further in accordance with them [19].]. The study of the motivation of infantile behavior has clearly shown that it is necessary to take into account the needs of the child not only purely physiological, but also integrative, communicative, in particular, the need to accumulate new experiences, check the relationship between one’s own behavior and its consequences caused in the immediate environment, as well as the need to find their own kind and communicate with them.
To explain the early forms of human behavior and determine its role in evolution, it is necessary to analyze the biological aspects of this behavior. The goal is to discover specific species forms that are unique to humans, in contrast to similar forms of animal behavior. In this regard, the views of scientists were directed to the development of the child even before birth. Video filming of the behavior of the fetus in the womb has shown that a certain genetic program is involved in the early development of motor skills. But it has also been demonstrated that the learning processes and cognitive abilities of the baby are involved in the integration of early experience. This made it possible to clarify the previous idea of the origin (Table 1) and basic tendencies (Table 2) of the process of integrating the experience gained by the child in the early stages of development. It became clear that the world of our experiences and the phylogenetic experience of the human race include certain behavioral tendencies that were selected from a large amount of genetic information in the process of evolution and were transmitted by heredity. In the process of learning, conscious and unconscious components were distinguished for the first time. The role of unconscious learning and thinking became more understandable after the dependence of the course of unconscious processes on the functioning of the hemisphere of the brain, which is dominant in speech, was shown [8,

animal world. These include: attention, exploratory instinct, withdrawal, avoidance, and needs closely related to communicative and cognitive development, primarily the need to establish control over changes in the surrounding world or determine the various results of one’s own actions. Communication plays a crucial role in the child’s re-examination of the social conformity of his actions. In this sense, it is important for a person, just like animals, to learn how to receive help from their neighbors, find a partner for procreation and win an optimal position in society.
Human communication is characterized by all the attributes typical of adaptive forms of behavior known in nature: universality, development at an early stage of ontogenesis, co-evolution in accordance with the reinforcing tendencies of the social environment. However, there are significant differences between the motivation and social behavior of humans and animals. These include: 1) the ability to shift the motive to the goal, 2) altruism and morality, 3) high intelligence and highly developed speech apparatus, 4) developed fine motor skills, a close connection with the formation of integrative abilities.
When forming habits related to feeding, satisfying hunger can give way to other motives, as soon as the child understands that his behavior can influence the people around him. Even more often, such a shift in motive is observed during a cry, which can be caused not only by hunger, pain, fear, but also by the requirement to satisfy a cognitive or social need. And then it becomes an important tool that allows the child to manipulate the adults who care for him.
Unlike animals, humans have a developed altruistic need to help others if they need it. In addition, morality, specifically human relations of duty, social conformity, which are absent in the animal community, play an important role in motivating human behavior.
Human communication is a unique phenomenon of nature, providing the highest degree of human adaptation to the environment in comparison with animals. Its prerequisites – high intelligence, the ability for abstract symbolization, voice modulation in a rapidly changing sequence – are not unique natural data, however, in such a complete combination as in humans, they are not found in any animal. So, chimpanzees, who can communicate with humans using gestures, lack a developed speech apparatus for verbal communication. And some tropical birds, despite good imitative abilities that allow them to copy the human voice, never use speech to communicate with each other.
Another distinctive feature of the development of communication between people is the unique combination of verbal abilities with finger and hand movements. As a result of well-developed fine motor skills, a person has also learned to record and accumulate his knowledge in various visual and readable coded forms. The ability to convey information through speech has made the integration of experience more efficient, faster, and more economical. The ability for verbal mediation has opened up unique possibilities that form the basis of culture and, at the same time, has increased the degree of biological fitness of a person.
The main, basic tendencies in behavior are detected already at an early stage of development, others appear simultaneously with the development of speech, or after its completion. Preverbal expressions of infants – vocal, mimic or gestural – are much more important than just an emotional signal. Even K. Buhler [4] emphasized that such signals, along with the expression of one’s own state, also reflect the actual situation of communication and are directed to the partner as a request or demand. Obviously, the development of communication skills from the very beginning is closely connected not only with the emotional state, but also with the development of integrative abilities: thinking and learning abilities.

3. The contribution of parents to communication
The second component of the interactive process is the participation of parents. A detailed examination of the video recording of parent-child interactions revealed new abilities of parents that remained unnoticed when applying global methods of observation. They manifested themselves especially clearly in behavior that was adopted by children unconsciously and could not be transmitted through speech. These forms of behavior, necessary for mastering early thinking abilities and vocalization, were designated as intuitive parental didactics [25].
How can the content of this concept be determined? Everyday actions of parents in dialogue with their babies exactly correspond to the actual physical state of the child, which is determined by the degree of his wakefulness and attention. With the help of various methods, parents manage to awaken and further maintain the attention of the child, while “dosing” the degree of their intervention in such a way that the baby is able to process the signals coming from them without much effort. The frequent repetition of such parental promptings and the strong, emotional rewards that accompany every small step in the child’s progress reflect the didactic nature of parental behavior. Parents are also receptive to a decrease in attention from the child.
In this case, they increase the intensity of urges, change their behavior, or simply allow the child to rest.
The didactic abilities of parents belong to a special category of biologically determined prerequisites, which are fundamentally different from innate reflexes or rationally controlled forms of behavior. From Table. 3. the difference between three types of behavior is visible: innate, intuitive and rational.
Genetic programs play an important role in the intuitive behavior of parents, which is confirmed by numerous manifestations. So, for example, intuitive didactic abilities are quite universal and do not depend on gender, age and cultural background of educators. They arise as a result of involuntary training [34]. Their constant manifestation is quite consistent with the principle prevailing in nature, according to which, in the course of evolution, adaptive mechanisms vital for survival, specific to each species, are selected. In humans, such adaptive mechanisms are high intelligence and verbal communication. And it is precisely in teaching a child to speak and actions that can be conveyed with the help of speech [21] that intuitive didactic abilities are most clearly manifested, i.e. finely differentiated and didactically meaningful parental support.
Features of didactic behavior are: specific use of eye contact, facial expressions, articulation; determination of the degree of cheerfulness of the baby; compliance with the child’s expectations at the level of actions; the use of a special “children’s speech”; the unconscious use of intonation to communicate emotional state and cognitive information.
Referring people to eye contact is one example of a species-specific encouragement of communication skills. While all other species, including great apes, avoid direct eye contact, which signals threat and possible aggression, in human communication, on the contrary, it is the most necessary and facilitates the exchange of very important signals. Without realizing it, the adult seeks eye contact with the infant by placing his or her face in the child’s field of vision and thereby facilitating his (still limited) visual perception [34]. Adults also reward the baby for every glance received from him with a special, so-called “welcome reaction.”
Parents constantly repeat the sounds and facial expressions of the baby, thereby allowing the child to use their faces as a “biological mirror”, or “biological echo”, and thus develop his ability to perceive himself. Emotionally colored facial expressions of parents serve as confirmation of the desired forms of behavior of the child and rejection of undesirable ones, or they signal to the still inexperienced infant that he can expect from meeting a new person or an unfamiliar situation.
Before entering into a dialogue with a child, an adult first intuitively determines the degree of cheerfulness and attention of the child, trying to open his hands or open his mouth, checking his muscle tone [24]. A sleepy baby does not offer any resistance, while a hungry baby reacts with a search reaction or sucking movements. B. Kestermann [14] demonstrated in his experiments how the language of children’s gestures affects the behavior of parents. So, for example, calm twirling of half-opened hands with fingers signals a quite suitable opportunity to enter into a dialogue, a strong grasping reflex reflects increased tension, reduced muscle tone in the hands indicates fatigue and drowsiness.
For the successful development of self-perception, it is important to give the infant as often as possible the opportunity to respond to someone else’s appeal in such a way that these answers, in turn, are understood by adults. To do this, “sufficiently intuitive parents” often allow the baby to manipulate (in a positive sense) their behavior, i. e. respond to the “moves of the child” as he expects. It’s like they’re playing tricks with him. This creates a feeling in the baby that he is understood and accepted. This reinforces one of the most important integrative processes – recognizing how certain goals can be achieved by changing one’s own behavior.
The most interesting and common examples of intuitive parental support are found in vocal communication between the infant and parents or other adults during the child’s acquisition of speech. Parents demonstrate articulation, adopting which children learn to reproduce various sounds. At first, the baby lacks the ability to hold his breath, which is necessary for calm vocalization. It is even more difficult to produce consonants and syllables. As soon as the breath develops so much that the child learns to control his vocalizations, he can already modulate the melody from the first basic sounds. The gradual development of such steps is supported by the child’s social environment both intentionally and involuntarily. Relatives surrounding the child – from 2-3-year-old brothers and sisters to grandparents – use a manner of communication and speech for this, which is characterized by surprisingly simple melodic units with an increased and extended range and longer, melodious vowels (“infant-directed speach”). “) [26].
Computer analysis of speech addressed to an infant has shown how important a role is played by intonation in a dialogue with an infant. With the help of various melodies, the adult conveys well-differentiated information and the first categorical messages, the processing of which prepares the ground for further verbal messages. At the same time, the melody of the parental manner of speech is extremely saturated with information [27]. Adults caring for the child use in a conversation addressed to him such elements of vocalization that the baby himself discovered during the imitation and modulation of his first vocalizations. In a similar way, further unconscious, but surprisingly systematically performed steps proceed, ultimately leading to the appearance of the first words [28].
For the first time, new data on the different contribution of each of the cerebral hemispheres to the acquisition of speech and fine motor skills of the hands helped to understand the coevolution of child and parental preparedness for learning speech [18]. In the first seven months, the infant practices various techniques and develops abilities related to speech. So, for example, he learns how to produce and modulate sounds, recognize and follow the rules of dialogue, combine vocal manifestations with non-verbal ones, and so on. Such procedural learning begins immediately after birth, while declarative learning (what is called, how abstract concepts can be combined) depends on the maturation of the corresponding brain structures and appears by the end of the first year of life.
In the early stages of a child’s development, communication plays a twofold role. On the one hand, it is a necessary condition for the development of speech, on the other hand, it offers many opportunities for working out and automating basic integrative processes. In the absence of such opportunities in a child, not only speech, but also mental development in general is at risk [23]. This fact was confirmed experimentally by observational data on the development of twins, each of whom receives half as much attention from their parents as an only child [2].
4. Communication disorders at an early age and their therapy
The universality of the prerequisites for integrative and communicative behavior in children and their caregivers does not mean, however, that they always manifest themselves automatically and in an undisturbed form. Rather, it is about behavioral readiness, which can have a variety of forms of manifestation. From the primary, universal set for all, a completely original mosaic picture of child-parent interaction arises. Separate actions are gradually worked out, synchronized and coordinated among themselves in the course of mutual interactions specific to each couple.
The development and flow of communication under the influence of a large number of adverse factors is delayed or disrupted [22]. So, for example, a violation of intuitive parental behavior may arise as a result of unresolved psychosocial problems and conflicts in partnership, really conditioned or neurotic fears associated with the child, due to overwork or mental illness of the parents [1, 32]. Of particular importance is also the presence of adverse experiences of their own childhood experiences of parents. In such cases, they may be so busy resolving their problems that they hardly perceive or even ignore the signals coming from the child, neglect his needs and avoid play contact. Another form of violation: adults, on the contrary, are excessively precautionary in their manifestations or stimulate the child too much, to the point that he ceases to understand parental signals, endures them with difficulty, and eventually rejects them altogether. Refusal to communicate on the part of the child can also occur when a woman does not feel like a mother and rejects the baby [15, 38].
Parenting disorders are most pronounced when the child belongs to the category of so-called “difficult children” [36], “noisy children” [7] or other risk groups. It does not necessarily have congenital deafness, blindness, cerebral movement disorders or Down syndrome. Often, even mild changes in coordination, hypotension, a lowered threshold of excitability, and similar symptoms of nonspecific disorders [33] lead to the fact that the signals coming from the child are difficult to recognize and interpret, and the infant himself is too passive if an adult does not attract him attention. Such children may avoid social contact or react to it with excitement and increased crying. In such cases, the “difficult” behavior of the child causes the parents to feel that their parental competence is being excessively demanded. This often leads to the emergence of a parental rejection syndrome characterized by powerlessness and guilt [29]. In this case, communication acquires a permanent decompensating effect on the child [20]. The danger of this situation lies in the fact that in the most severe cases, communication violations are amplified, fixed and lead to neglect and/or abuse of children.
Currently, there is still a shortage of reliable and easy-to-use methods for recognizing early violations of preverbal communication. At the same time, in practice it has been repeatedly confirmed that the signs of possible subsequent violations in a child are: excessive passivity; avoidance of contact; irritability and frequent crying; insufficient development of differentiated forms of communication; refusal to eat; sleep disturbances not due to organic causes; severe anxiety or pronounced defensive reactions when faced with a new situation or a stranger. In the behavior of parents, such harbingers are: ignoring a relaxed, relaxed dialogue with the baby at those moments when he expresses his readiness for communication; lack of game elements; ignoring or slow response to children’s signals; inadequate “dosing” of motives in relation to the child; overly rational, “conductor” interference; insufficient efforts to maintain dialogue, play, keep the child’s attention, or lack of incentives to communicate.
Currently, there are many different, often overlapping, therapeutic methods for correcting parent-child relationships in the early stages of development. Often these programs, which involve intervention in the process of communication, ignore the main feature of intuitive parental behavior: a slight ability to control it consciously, rationally and voluntarily. When working with parents in the programs of the Institute of Social Pediatrics at the Ludwig-Maximilian University in Munich, the main principles are: 1) relieving psychophysical stress in parents; 2) facilitating the implementation and therapeutic support of intuitive parenting; 3) development of effective forms of intuitive parenting in naturally occurring everyday learning situations [29]. It seems important to direct therapeutic efforts to ensure that parents fully follow the pace and level of development of their child and allow themselves in their own intuitive behavior to follow the preferences of the infant, his spontaneously emerging interests and dynamics, and also rely on their intuitive readiness for a joint dialogue or game. with a baby. The use of such psychotherapy in conjunction with drug treatment of primary organic disorders can prevent or interrupt the vicious circle of disturbed interactions that threatens decompensation, activate existing healing forces and awaken new ones. Our experience shows that once experienced, even the most modest success can significantly affect further motivation to achieve new results.

What is non-verbal learning disorder and how can you help your child?
Many people think that the term “learning disorder” only covers problems with verbal skills, like reading or writing. But what if your child has good verbal skills and a large vocabulary but doesn’t understand when someone is being sarcastic? What if he reads at an advanced level but can’t identify key parts of the story?
These are the classic signs of Nonverbal Learning Disorder (NVLD / NLD).
Nonverbal learning disorder (NVLD) affects skills such as abstract thinking and organization. NRA affects your child’s learning ability, but creates even more problems when it comes to communication. Learn more about NRA and how to help your child.
What is Nonverbal Learning Disorder?
Learning and attention disorders create difficulties in communication. The NRA affects the child’s social skills, but not their speech or writing skills.
Children with non-verbal learning disorder tend to talk a lot, but they don’t always manage to do it in acceptable ways. They often miss important information, don’t understand sign language, so it’s hard for them to make friends, and there can often be misunderstandings with teachers, parents, and other adults.
In contrast to children with learning disorders related to speech and writing (dyslexia, dysgraphia), children with NDE have difficulty understanding non-verbal communication. This includes body language, intonation, and facial expressions.
When a classmate says something sarcastic, a child with non-verbal learning disorder may take it literally. He may laugh at something serious because the speaker is smiling. Due to the fact that the child does not understand the non-verbal subtext to words, it is difficult for him to make friends.
In order to better understand what NLR is, it is necessary to learn more about learning disorders based on speech development problems. Children with these problems have difficulty reading, writing, and speaking. Their speech and language skills are weak and they have difficulty with accuracy and processing speed.
Some children with NDE have good language skills but have difficulty analyzing information and understanding hidden meanings. They may not have problems with written or spoken language, but they take information literally without understanding the subtext.
The exact cause of NRO is not yet clear, but researchers believe that this is due to a lack of coordination in different brain processes located in the left and right areas of the brain.
Despite growing awareness of this disorder, nonverbal learning disorder is controversial in medical circles. It does not appear in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), the most recent update of the manual used by therapists to diagnose learning disorders.
Non-verbal learning disorder may cause learning difficulties, but this does not mean that a child with NVD is not smart. Like most children with learning disabilities, children with LLD usually have average or above average intelligence.
It is also important to know that non-verbal learning disorder is not the same as Asperger’s or autism, although they can also affect social skills and social interaction.
How common is non-verbal learning disorder?
It is difficult to know exactly how many children an NRA has. This is because there is no clear definition of what this category of learning disorder includes. Studies show that the NRA may have 1% of children in the United States. This applies equally to boys and girls. Apparently, NRO is not inherited, as, for example, problems with concentration and dyslexia.
Non-verbal learning disorder often occurs in people with Asperger’s syndrome. In fact, studies show that up to 80% of children with Asperger’s have symptoms associated with NRO. People with ADHD may also experience symptoms of NRO, although there are no statistical data on this yet.
What causes NRA?
Experts don’t know the exact cause of NRA symptoms. But they are exploring a number of theories related to differences in important brain processes and functions in the left and right sides of the brain.
There is no consensus among experts as to whether non-verbal learning disorder exists and what are the underlying causes of NLD symptoms. For example, some experts believe that problems may be caused by damage or developmental features of the part of the brain that coordinates the work of the two hemispheres. Others believe that the problems may be related to the frontal lobe of the brain, which is responsible for executive function skills such as working memory, organization and planning.

What are the symptoms of NRA?
The main symptoms of non-verbal learning disorder include poor social skills, but NVE can manifest itself in other ways. For example, children with NDE may have difficulty with math, reading comprehension, writing, and/or physical coordination. Here are some of the symptoms you may find in your child with NRO:
Remembers information but does not know why it is important;
Communicates in socially unacceptable ways;
Pays attention to details but does not see the big picture;
Has difficulty reading;
Has difficulty with mathematics, especially with problems;
Physically awkward and clumsy;
Poor handwriting;
Takes information literally;
Does not understand intonation, body language, facial expressions;
Poor social skills;
violates the personal boundaries of others – may stand too close to the interlocutor;
Pays no attention to other people’s reactions;
Changes subject abruptly;
Too dependent on parents;
Afraid to be in an unusual situation;
Has difficulty adjusting to change.
Children with ADHD are often misunderstood because of their behavior. Peers and adults may find them strange or immature. Not knowing that the child has NRO, the teacher may think that he is inattentive or cocky.
Symptoms may change with age.
Young children with non-verbal learning disorder may appear bright and precocious because they have good verbal skills. They, like little professors, ask adults a lot of questions and spew out the information received like a fountain.
Despite their good memory, they may find it difficult to interpret and draw conclusions from what they read.
As children get older, the symptoms of NRO may become more obvious and cause more problems. Children understand that they perceive social situations differently than their peers, but do not know what to do with it. Some develop anxiety that can lead to compulsive behavior, such as touching a doorknob a certain number of times before opening the door.
The sooner you know about your child’s problems, the sooner you can find treatments and strategies to improve social skills and relieve anxiety.
What skills are affected by non-verbal learning disorder?
NLL does not affect all children equally, but for most children NLL affects the following skills:
Conceptual Skills: Difficulties with problem solving, understanding big concepts and cause and effect relationships.
Motor skills: problems with coordination and movement. This includes gross motor skills (such as running), fine motor skills (such as writing), and balance (such as cycling).
Visual-spatial skills: problems with visual images, visual processing and spatial relationships. The child may remember what he heard, but not what he saw.
Social skills: Difficulty sharing information in a socially acceptable way. The child may not understand sarcasm or facial expressions, may interrupt the interlocutor in the middle of a conversation.
Abstract and critical thinking: problem with reading comprehension and understanding the “big picture”. A child may be good at remembering details but not understanding the larger concepts behind them. You may also have trouble organizing your thoughts.
How to recognize NRA?
Since there is no universally accepted test for HRO, the diagnostic process involves several steps:
Step 1: Get a medical examination. Your child’s doctor probably isn’t an expert on learning disorders, but you can talk to them about your concerns and find out if a medical condition might be causing your child’s symptoms. Your doctor can help you find a specialist, such as a neurologist, for further evaluation.
Step 2: Get a referral to a mental health professional. Once the medical causes are corrected, your child’s doctor will likely refer you to a mental health professional such as a neurologist. The specialist will talk to you and your child about your concerns. He will then administer various tests to assess your child’s ability in the following areas:
Speech and language: Development of speech in young children; verbal skills, understanding of abstract ideas and context in older children.
Visuospatial Organization: The ability to draw a parallel between visual information and abstract concepts, such as reading a map or telling time by a clock.
Motor skills: Fine motor skills such as drawing and writing and gross motor skills such as the ability to throw and catch objects.
The specialist will look at your child’s performance in these skills and ask you about the symptoms you have noticed in your child.
Step 3: Analyze the received information. After collecting all the information, the specialist will look for the strengths and weaknesses that are characteristic of children with ADHD. This will help determine if your child has a disability.
General strengths:
The level of intelligence is average or above average;
Good verbal skills;
Early speech development;
Good memory and ability to repeat what was said;
Learns better what he heard than what he saw.
General weaknesses:
Social skills;
Balance, coordination, handwriting;
Understanding cause and effect;
Visualization of information;
Activity level (higher at a young age, decreases with age).
What disorders are associated with NRO?
Nonverbal learning disorder is the disorder most closely associated with problems with social skills. However, there are several other disorders that prevent children from making friends. These disorders are not related, but they may occur together with NMR:
ADHD: Children with ADHD may initially be misdiagnosed with ADHD. Both deviations have similar symptoms, such as excessive talkativeness, poor coordination and the habit of interrupting the interlocutor. But ADHD is not a learning disorder. This is a brain disorder that makes it difficult for children to concentrate, think about consequences, and control impulses.
Speech development disorders: these are problems with speech (expressive speech development disorder) and language understanding (receptive speech development disorder). Children with these disabilities find it difficult to understand and use sign language, follow directions, and carry on a conversation. NRO may also resemble some of the symptoms of social communication disorder.
Asperger’s Syndrome: This is a developmental disorder that affects a child’s ability to socialize and communicate with others. This is a mild form of autism. Many of the symptoms of Asperger’s Syndrome and NRO overlap, and researchers suggest that about 80% of children with Asperger’s Syndrome also have NRO. But these are two separate disorders.
“We have the potential to help children who are lagging behind reach the norm and even exceed it!”
Watch part of Dr. Michael Merzenich’s TED talk in 2004 where he talks about brain plasticity-based techniques to correct the workings of a child’s brain to increase their ability to recognize speech, speak, read and learn successfully.
How can professionals help with NRA?
There are a number of treatments and educational strategies that can help your child cope with the symptoms of NRO. These include:
Social skills training groups where children are taught how to behave in social situations, such as how to greet a friend, join a conversation, and recognize and respond to teasing.
Parental counseling is needed to help parents learn how to cooperate with teachers and help children improve their social skills.
Occupational therapy helps reduce fear of the unknown, improve coordination and improve fine motor skills.
Cognitive therapy helps to cope with anxiety and other types of mental disorders.
Talk to teachers about how to help your child do well in school.
What can you do at home?
Parenting a child with ADHD can be challenging, but there are many things you can do at home to help your child cope with symptoms and learn social skills. You can also try some of the behavior experts’ strategies. These steps can help you make positive changes in your child’s life and in your family life:
Think about how you speak. Remember that children with NRA are not good at understanding sarcasm and intonation, and they are likely to take what you say literally. For example, if you say, “If I see that thing in your hands again…,” he may continue to play with the prohibited item, turning away so that you cannot see him. Give clear instructions such as, “Please don’t touch this thing.”
Help with transitions. Children with NRO tend to dislike change because it is difficult for them to understand it. They may not have the abstract thinking skills needed to imagine what’s next. You can prepare your child for routine changes by using logical explanations. Instead of saying, “We’re going to have dinner with grandma soon,” try, “We’re going to have lunch at grandma’s house tonight because it’s her birthday. We leave in an hour.”
Watch your child. A child with NRO may be shocked by sudden external stimuli such as noise, smells, sounds, and temperature. Try to avoid situations that may trigger shock reactions in your child.
Arrange meetings with friends. Help your child find friends with similar interests, whether it’s a love of comics or cooking. Invite friends over for a social experience in a familiar environment. Think about what the children will do, offer them games so that they do not sit idle. It is also best to invite guests at times of the day when the child is usually well-behaved.
Practice neurological online Fast ForWord method. It is also called “Brain Fitness”. By studying Fast ForWord at home, your child will train brain areas responsible for key executive functions, reading, speech skills, concentration skills, develop memory and other important cognitive skills necessary for successful learning and socialization. Thanks to these activities, more than 3 million children in the world have left special education. classes!
What can make learning easier?
There are many ways to support your child with NRO:
Take notes. Monitor the child’s behaviors and symptoms, when and where they occur. Your observations will be valuable information for professionals who can help your child.
Tell your child’s doctor about your findings to discuss possible next steps. This may include a referral to a psychologist who can conduct a comprehensive assessment and develop a treatment plan.
Talk to your child’s teacher to find out what problems your child is having at school. Ask what methods of assistance have been used and which ones are most effective. Discuss with teachers if the child needs special education.
Contact other parents. Discuss your observations with parents who have experienced similar problems, perhaps they can share their successful experience with you.
Nonverbal learning disorder can cause both social and academic problems for your child and there is no proven cure. But there are many approaches, treatments, and strategies that can help your child develop social skills and overcome adversity. By learning as much as possible, you can better help your child.

Non-verbal communication in children and adolescents
Important steps in human development occur during childhood. From early childhood, the child needs communication. Children with developmental disabilities develop in communication, their main task is the formation and development of means of communication and communication skills.
In adolescence, a number of changes occur in development, in the psyche, new needs and requirements appear. What was attractive yesterday is not interesting today. Losing interests, the child loses contact with the social environment, others and feel lonely.
The child’s body requires an increased expenditure of resources, which, combined with a change of interests, leads to a decrease in school performance. It is in adolescence that interest in his personality appears, he is busy with himself, his appearance and the opinions of others about him.
Development of non-verbal communication in children
Communication is one of the basic human needs. It allows him to exchange information with other people, make decisions and feel accepted in society. The main task of parents and teachers is to develop non-verbal communication skills in children, students.
In the preschool period there is an active formation of the child’s personality and personal mechanisms of behavior. Systematic work on the development of non-verbals improves psychomotor functions, teaches children self-control, and contributes to the successful development of non-verbal communication with peers.
A preschool child is increasingly interested in other children, the need to communicate with peers becomes one of the main ones. Their communication has significant features that distinguish them from communication with adults.
Particular attention should be paid to the non-verbal communication of preschool children. The development of non-verbal skills creates additional opportunities for establishing interpersonal contacts, allows you to understand the true feelings of the interlocutor. Preschool children need to be taught non-verbal means of communication, this process includes:
Development of facial and body muscles;
Acquaintance with the basic emotional states and their expression through gestures, facial expressions, postures;
Expression of emotions in play activities;
Use of non-verbal means in independent communicative activity.
Note 1
Work on the development of non-verbal means improves the psychomotor functions of children, teaches them to control bodily manifestations, understand the language of emotions, bodies.
Emotional manifestations of children will become bright and expressive, children will learn to express emotions, to be attentive to each other.
Sign language of children and adolescents
The use of non-verbal means of communication, namely gestures, among children and adolescents is a means of marking, i.e. a symbol of a person’s belonging to a certain group. Consider some gestures:
Greeting – hug and kiss among girls; among boys – a handshake with game elements (with elements of arm wrestling).
Request – fingers extended, palms joined, hands pressed to the chest – accompanied by the word “please” and shaking of the joined palms, which means a request for help, for example, during a test in a lesson.
Delight, joy – a sharp movement of the arm bent at the elbow, raised up, when the hand is clenched into a fist, when the hand moves down, the hand is at chest level, accompanied by the word “yes!”.
“Stay away from me!” – crossed index and middle fingers, which means “do not touch me, I have nothing to do with it. ”
Note 2
The sign language of children and adolescents is an evolving phenomenon influenced by the social environment.
Informal associations of adolescents
Forming adolescent associations, children use a kind of slang or slang – these are words used by certain groups. Teenage speech can contain either a lot of slang words, or only 5-7 words. For children, it is important that these words are present in the group, in their communication, they are their achievement, a crime of the norms of everyday life, a means of emancipation in communication.
In addition to verbal means, non-verbal means stand out – gestures, facial expressions and postures – aggressive, narrowing the distance. Non-verbal communication of adolescents is a kind of protest to adults. Children often tease each other, show their tongue, fist, “fig”, gesture “fuck”, twist their fingers at the temple.
A common gesture in many countries is the gesture of teasing, attracting attention and provocation – showing the tongue.
Showing the fist is a gesture of threat and rage. Adolescents emotionally demonstrate aggression, which is accompanied by anger.
A “figa” is considered a rude and aggressive gesture – a contemptuous mockery, refusal, mockery of someone.
The “fuck” gesture is considered an insulting sign, interpreted as an obscene swear word.
Twisting a finger at the temple means that a person does not have enough intelligence, this shows a disregard for the mental abilities of some other person.
In non-verbal communication, the social environment in which the teenager is located, as well as his position in relation to non-normative gestures, plays an important role.
Diagnosis of non-verbal communication of adolescents
One of the discussed problems is the problem of selection and development of methods to determine the level of development of the child’s mental abilities. In the field of diagnosing developmental disorders (primary intellectual defects, secondary underdevelopment), this problem is most acute. Many researchers agree that non-verbal tests are one of the means of solving the problem.
The need for them is great in cases of difficulty in verbal communication, low level of speech development, as well as in cases of revealing the level of intelligence development.
Non-verbal tests (“action tests”) do not require a verbal response from the subject, which reflects the intellectual development of the child. The significance of non-verbal indicators increases when compared with verbal indicators.
Teaching non-verbal children communication skills. ~ Autism | ABA
Many people with autism may have disabilities or
functional communication difficulties.
Sometimes it is associated with diseases such as pathology of language development or
apraxia. However, the most common reason is a significant deficiency
developing skills in motivation, speech processing and social
interactions. Speech delay can also be caused by severe ear problems.
infections that could lead to hearing loss or adversely affect
speech processing at the most important stages of mental development.
In their practice, ABA professionals often encounter
nonverbal children. The term “pre-verbal” or “non-verbal” means that
the individual does not use vocal communication in a functional manner on a consistent basis
basis (the term “non-vocal” or “non-speaking” from a professional point of view
is preferred because verbal behavior may include
into oneself and non-expressive communication, such as sign language). Most
cases, instead of typical speech, such people use communication inefficiently
or in an inappropriate way (echolalia, etc.). They often communicate using
pointing gestures, directing the actions of others, and mainly through
own behaviour. Almost every therapist has experienced
when a small child, without uttering a word, controls the life of the whole family in
according to your desires. The parents of such a child usually know
that two screams mean “turn on the TV”, a cranky cry means
“take me in your arms”, and the brother’s push means “I don’t want to play”, etc.
It is important that when working with non-verbal children the goal is to
not only in teaching “speaking”. The goal should be effective communication
child. Even verbal children do not always communicate effectively. The situation when
a five-year-old child is taught to distinguish between colors and body parts while he
cannot tell an adult that he is hungry, an example illustrates well
a child who can talk but does not use his speech to communicate.
When you think of a “verbal” child, you need to think
not only about “speaking”. How does the child communicate? Does he have a good
receptive speech, even if he does not speak? Does the child have verbal
stimulation, cooing, does he hum songs or melodies? Does the child cry when
frustrated, or does he make noise without saying a word? Relying on your own
experience, some ABA professionals say that verbal stimulation, frequent
babble, demonstration of social consciousness or attention (for example, a child
stares at your face when you sing to it) are good
indicators that a non-verbal child will begin to speak. Children,
producing echo responses, singing songs without words and “playing” with speech sounds often
achieve rapid success with intensive speech intervention.
Behavior is a significant part of communication.
It is believed that children who do not know how to communicate or are
non-verbal, the most persistent and complex behavioral problems are observed.
Why? Imagine that you are in an environment where no one is speaking.
in your language. You are very hungry and you are trying to convince these people to feed you.
How long will you use gestures before you start pushing someone
or throw things?
If a child lacks intrinsic motivation to
communication, and there is no external need for communication, then from the point of view of such a child
it is much easier to participate in behavior than in communication. The child who
allow you to drop your plate on the floor during dinner to indicate that
he is full, has zero incentive to select words, form sounds and
speaking.
Gain is also of great importance. To
child with autism
learned to communicate, you need the presence of encouragement. Many parents think
« Why should we encourage the child to speak? Other kids are just
start talking and they don’t need M&M’s for that.”
One of the characteristics of autism spectrum disorders is
quality disruption of communication. This may mean that the child does not own
speech, developmental delay, or lack of motivation
to use their available speech
skills.
There are many options for teaching non-verbal
children’s communication skills,
and often BCBA specialists or ABA consultants recommend
use several approaches at the same time. Let’s talk about different teaching methods
communications.
Verbal behavioral approach . There are many
various ways of applying Applied Behavior Analysis, and verbal
behavior is one of the offshoots of ABA therapy. verbal behavior is functional speech orientation. Verbal behavioral approach
involves picking up and building intrinsic motivation, as well as
using rewards to enhance communication through verbal
actions (mand / request, tact / name
objects and actions, etc. ). Speech is viewed and taught as
behavior, broken down into components. If a child loves ice cream, one of
the first words he learns to say will be “ice cream”. That is,
the child’s motivation to obtain the desired object is used to form
speech: said “ice cream” – got ice cream. Within this approach, for
Repetition, prompting and procedure are also used to obtain the desired responses.
reaction formation. Initially, the “me” response is seen as acceptable.
to ask for the ball. Over time (and with careful analysis
data) the criteria for the reaction become more and more stringent until
the child will not learn to say “ball”.
Speech Therapy/Speech Therapy . As a rule, out of 10 children, with
where an ABA therapist works, about 6-7 children also receive speech therapy.
Many parents believe that speech therapy is the only way to teach
non-verbal child to talk. Speech therapists often work with
conditions such as stuttering, speech impairment, etc. For some children speech
therapy is very effective, while others with its help do not achieve
significant results. It is very important that when looking for specialists,
working with speech defects, parents were guided by speech therapists who have experience with autism or problem behavior . It is also necessary
pay attention to the intensity of the services offered. Many children receiving
speech therapy, are engaged with a speech therapist for only 15-45 minutes a week. For
non-verbal, low-functioning child with autism, this may be
insufficient to achieve significant goals. If the child receives speech
therapy and at the same time demonstrates serious progress, there is a high probability that
that his team and the ABA and speech therapist work closely together.
Cooperation between all team members is of utmost importance.
Sign language . Should always combine oral
the name of the object with sign language, so that the child can simultaneously not only
learn gesture, but also heard the necessary word. When considering such
variant of communication, like sign language, the question usually immediately arises about
the age of the child, and also about the level of development of fine motor skills
him. If the child has poor fine motor skills and cannot
reproduce various complex gestures for communication, in which case the language
gestures is not the best choice (although you can still train him
approximate reactions). Age is of great importance in this case. If a
the child is only 2 years old, and he spends all his time at home with mom and dad,
then sign language is a good option. However, if the child is 11 years old and
goes to school, and then stays for circles and attends the karate section, then everything
those people with whom he regularly contacts will also need to understand
child gestures. If such a child approaches his teacher at recess and
will show a “red notebook” with gestures, will the teacher understand him? If children do not receive
quick reaction to sign language, they stop using it. Besides,
one very common mistake is initially teaching a child
gesture “more”, which is subsequently generalized. Children are “stuck” on this gesture,
asking adults for “more”, although often adults simply do not know
what is this about. If you still teach your child the “more” gesture, be sure to
associate it with the specific item it is asking for.
Communication system PECS (Picture Exchange Communication System). C
PECS communication system
child learns to communicate by exchanging picture cards
items/objects to obtain those items or objects. The PECS system is easy to use,
can be applied in various environmental conditions, and in the process it can
improve and complicate. You can teach your child to build complete
sentences, asking for several things at once, describing your day,
talk to people, etc. Unlike sign language, the advantage of PECS
is that the cards and photographs are accessible to the understanding of any person. AT
this system can use pictures or photographs of objects, in
depending on what works best for each individual child.
Another advantage of the PECS system
is communication between peers. The average three year old may not
recognize the gesture that means the word “play”, but he will understand that the photo
dollhouse means “Do you want to play dollhouse?”. Disadvantages of PECS include
the difficulty of maintaining a full range of cards/photos, as well as the rapid
changing interests in the child, which may require very frequent updating of the kit
cards.
Auxiliary communication devices . Auxiliary
communication devices recreate a child’s speech using a simulated
voice. The child inserts cards or presses buttons, and the mechanism speaks.
Since we are talking about technical equipment, it is assumed that the child
has the cognitive ability to use it independently
equipment. However, if the family has an iPad, there are many applications for
communications that are available to non-verbal children and allow them to
communicate with just a few finger taps. advantage
auxiliary communication systems is
that they can be used by people with different physical
limitations as they can be modified and adapted for children,
having problems with vision, hearing, typing, etc. Such devices
are portable and allow the child to quickly express their desires, thoughts,
needs and personal opinion in almost any setting.
Speech immersion . This method is usually
used in kindergartens and other preschool institutions where
work with children with special needs. During the day, the child is immersed in
language environment in order to create a stimulating atmosphere conducive to
the formation and development of speech. All items are clearly marked with photographs and
words, children are engaged in conversation, even if they cannot speak (“David,
is my coat blue? Nod your head if my coat is blue!”) and the teachers
work individually with each child on playing skills in turn, establishing
eye contact, joint attention, etc. Several such groups
reminiscent of the technique of teaching support skills. The advantage of the speech immersion method is the ease with which
This method can be used by parents with their child. This approach
focuses on major development milestones that are a prerequisite for
the appearance of the first words, for example, babble, recognition of distant sounds,
imitation of actions, reaction to instructions and communication using gestures.
1:1 work with a child also involves an abundance of rewards and a natural
way of interaction. For example, the instructor may act as if babbling
child – these are words, and engage in a conversation with the child. Describe your actions
and the actions of the child, even if he does not respond to you (“We are now climbing

Thanks to the tireless faith of family, friends and teachers, Temple overcame almost hopeless internal and external barriers, made a brilliant scientific career, wrote many works on psychology and animal science, translating her knowledge into a number of inventions that were widely used in both fields.
The nature of Temple Grandin’s life is well captured in the film’s two subtitles: “Autism gave her a vision. She gave him a voice.” “Differing from other people, she did something unprecedented.”

There were no issues with cases or closings at alluntil Nov 2021. With kids that touch EVERYTHING I was amazed they did so well. You have camera access to look in at your child at any point in the day. There’s also an app you can send messages to staff and they are quick to respond. We will miss them when we start elementary….

Baby’s first month. Newborn care
Having crossed the threshold of the house with a precious sniffing bundle in your arms, you are left alone with your baby.
The first 28 days of his life are considered the most responsible in the life of a newborn. And it is these days that he is mastered in the outside world and requires close attention. Not a single trifle in his state of health or behavior should go unnoticed. From this depends its further development and health. The child must be clean, fed and dry. We will talk today about what kind of care a baby needs in the first month of life.
Newborn’s morning toilet
Newborn’s morning toilet begins with the treatment of the umbilical wound. Before treating the umbilical wound, you must thoroughly wash your hands with soap and only then you can proceed to the treatment of the umbilical wound. First, you need to carefully spread the edges of the umbilical wound and lubricate with a cotton swab moistened with a solution of 3% hydrogen peroxide.
If there is a lot of discharge and the stick is saturated with it, then a new stick is taken for further processing. If there are hydrogen peroxide residues in the wound, they are removed with a clean, dry cotton swab. At the final stage, the wound is smeared with a brilliant green solution. The next step in the newborn’s morning toilet is the baby’s peephole toilet. For these purposes, use cotton pads moistened with boiled water at room temperature. With a wet disk (separate for each eye), you gently draw from the outer corner of the eye to the baby’s nose. If the eyes fester, then a decoction of chamomile can be used to wash them. Washing the eyes is carried out twice a day: in the morning immediately after waking up the crumbs and before bedtime. Nasal openings are cleaned with cotton flagella dipped in boiled water. To remove the crusts that sometimes form in the baby’s nose, first, saline solution is instilled into each nostril, which can be easily purchased at any pharmacy, and after 10-15 minutes the nose is cleaned with cotton flagella.
The cotton flagellum is inserted into the nasal cavity no more than 1 cm, with careful helical movements, while with one hand you “wield” the flagellum, and with the other you hold the baby’s head so as not to inadvertently harm the baby. Next, wash the face, neck and hands of the child with boiled water using a cotton pad. The washed parts of the body are dried with a clean soft towel, gently touching the skin of the child, with blotting movements. The morning toilet is completed by washing the baby with warm boiled water under running water. Girls are washed from front to back so as not to introduce an infection into the urinary organs. Dried skin folds are smeared with a baby moisturizer, if necessary, they are powdered with baby powder or talc. This is the end of the morning toilet.
During the day, after each diaper change (once every 3 hours) or bowel movements, the baby must be washed. Mommy performs all hygiene procedures with clean, thoroughly washed hands, having previously freed them from rings and watches.
Keep your nails short and your skin free of burrs.
Bathing a newborn
Daily bathing of newborns is started 1 day after the umbilical cord falls off, when the umbilical wound heals. Bathing water is not boiled, the air temperature in the room is maintained at 22-23 degrees Celsius. Fill the bath so that the child can be immersed in water up to the shoulders. In water, you can add decoctions of herbs (chamomile, celandine), a weak solution of potassium permanganate. Bathing water temperature should be no more than 37.2. A small bathtub is convenient for bathing. Before each bath, the bath is washed with a brush and soap. The water temperature is measured with a special thermometer. With soap, the baby is bathed once or twice a week. It is necessary to ensure that water does not get into the eyes, ears of the baby. The duration of the bath is about 5 minutes. It is advisable to bathe the baby before the last feeding.

department, pediatrician Varenik V. M.
Knowledge, skills and abilities of the child: the first month of life
In the first month of life, children sleep a lot – almost 20 hours a day. Waking periods are very short. But parents can help their child keep their muscles in good shape by doing gymnastics for newborns with them. Some babies, by the end of the first month of life, can raise their heads while lying on their stomachs. It will take a few more months before the child sufficiently “masters” his body so that it becomes his assistant in the knowledge of the world around him.
You can learn about how a baby develops in the first week of life by reading an article from the Child Development Calendar cycle on the I am a parent portal.
Feelings and emotions of a child of the first month of life
Do not think that newborn babies cannot feel and experience emotions. Some scientists believe that in the first month of his life, the child is able to subtly feel the mood of his parents, especially his mother, because he has not lost that close connection with her that existed between them during the nine months of gestation. Recognizing family members, the baby may react differently to their presence in the room. So, he will meet the approach of his mother with a smile, and for example, when an older brother appears, who once scared him with a sharp cry or movement, a newborn may well cry.
Hearing and its importance for the development of a child in the first month of life
It has been proven that classical music has a beneficial effect on the development of newborns. However, do not overdo it, monotonous compositions can bother anyone, not to mention the baby. Sing songs to your baby and talk to him while he is awake, and soon you will notice that he is trying to answer you: squeak, babble and snort funny. Another recommendation for parents: do not forget about the meaning of lullabies for a child. They help him not only relax and fall asleep. Listening to the mother’s voice, the child feels that he is loved and safe. Some child psychologists believe that lullabies help a child grow up to be a calm, balanced and benevolent person.
Educational games in the first month of a child’s life
In the first month of a child’s life, any new sounds are interesting, so toys that can make this or that sound (rattles, squeakers, bells, pipes, tumblers) will come in handy. One of your baby’s first toys during this period can be a mobile (a hanging structure with moving parts and sound that is attached above the baby’s bed). Mobiles are usually made in bright eye-catching colors and have music players.
Watch this video tutorial to learn how to choose toys for a child under one year of age. Recommendations are given by the president of the Association of Children’s Goods Industry Enterprises, psychologist Antonina Tsitsulina.
How to take care of a baby from birth to one month: 8 tips for parents
Take care of a newborn
Practice with your child no more than five to seven minutes a day, using every opportunity for this;
Turn baby over
Periodically change the position of the infant’s body when he is awake.
Let the child lie on his stomach for a while, then on his back or on his side. Being in different positions, he will quickly learn to move his arms and legs;
Pick up the baby
Don’t be afraid to take your baby in your arms to massage, cradle and talk to him. The more touches the baby feels to his body, the more actively his psycho-emotional sphere develops. According to psychologists, parental hugs trigger positive emotional experiences in the baby and give a feeling of security and comfort. Some babies get nervous and irritated when they are touched too often or held for too long. But if the child is rarely held, he can become lethargic and lethargic. That is why normally developed and emotionally healthy children love to “cuddle” with their parents so much.
Focus your child’s eyes
Starting from the first week, conduct classes on focusing the child’s gaze. To do this, you need a large bright toy.
Let your child focus on an object and slowly move it from side to side. Make sure your child’s eyes follow the toy. If he begins to briefly “grab” the object with his eyes, encourage him to focus on the object for a longer time. Thus, the cognitive abilities of the baby are laid.
Talk to your baby
Try to find time to communicate with the newborn. Talk to the baby as if he understands everything. If mom and dad talk to the child a lot, then soon they will hear from him the first voice reactions – cooing. This is a very important indicator that makes it clear that the child’s speech development is normal;
Develop your baby’s hearing
For the development of hearing, simple games with sounding objects (rattle, maracas, bell) are suitable. The sound should be soft and not sharp. You can make sounds by shaking the toy first in your baby’s field of vision, and then to the side of him, watching if he begins to look for the source of the sound.
Try to understand the newborn
Try to understand the baby’s wants and needs. If you give him enough attention when he needs something, the child will not annoy you once again.
Keep a development diary
Keep a diary of achievements and note the successes of your child in it. Reading these entries will give you pleasant memories in the future and exciting experiences in the present.
Take the test on the I am a parent portal and find out if you are ready to become parents.

WHAT NOT TO DO!
1. Feed lying down. Put your baby to bed with you.
Never put a baby of the first 6 months of life next to you on your bed when feeding or putting to bed at night! Falling asleep next to him, you run the risk of crushing the child with your body and creating an obstacle to his breathing, which can lead to tragic consequences – asphyxia (suffocation) of the baby.
2. Leave a child alone to prevent accidents.
However, if you involuntarily have to go away for a short time and leave the baby alone for at least a few minutes, you must follow a number of simple rules.
A child who cannot even roll over should not be left alone at a height (changing table, sofa, bed) for a second: put him in a crib or on the floor. The best option is to lay the child on its side. At the same time, make sure that the head is turned to the side, and periodically change its position to the left and right. You can not put the baby on his back for the first six months, because during this period regurgitation is possible, and the position on the back becomes really dangerous.
Baby cots should be free of soft mattresses and pillows. A dense mattress without a pillow completely eliminates the possibility of suffocation during sleep. Most babies under three months of age do not attempt to free themselves by squeezing their nostrils. In this case, breathing stops for 10-15 seconds. Mucus crusts that block the nasal passages can also lead to respiratory arrest. That is why doctors strongly recommend not to put children in soft lush beds and in rooms with warm (above 23 degrees) and dry air.
Do not leave them to sleep with the window open, even if it is blocked by a mosquito net, limit yourself to an open window: even small children can fall out of the window!
3. When bathing, do not leave the child without support by hand, do not be distracted and leave him alone! The water level in the bath should be no more than 10-15 cm, so that after immersion, the upper part of the chest and the head of the child are above the surface of the water.
4. Leave electrical outlets unprotected.
Cover electrical outlets with plugs or buy outlets that only turn on when the cover is turned. Access to sockets that include household appliances and electrical wires must be blocked. It is best to hide them behind heavy furniture.
5. Turn on household heaters without protective screens.
6. Carrying a child in a car without special restraints.
7. Leave a child unattended near open and artificial water bodies.
8. Talk to your child while eating.
9. Leave one child alone with animals. The most good-natured and intelligent dog is unlikely to endure if a small child checks whether his eyes are taken out and whether his nose can be torn off.
10. Leaving a child unattended on landings and flights of stairs.
11. Cross the road in unauthorized places, cross in places specially designated for this, making sure that traffic is safe.
12. To play with small, piercing, cutting objects, plastic bags, keep them out of the child’s reach. Small objects can be pushed up the nose or windpipe, which can lead to suffocation.
13. Staying near the stove and cooking with your baby in your arms: he can get burned by the steam, as it will be difficult for you to ensure the cooking process, your own safety and the safety of the child at the same time. Do not pour hot liquids into dishes when you are near your baby.
Other tips
Keep medicines and chemicals out of reach of children.
Fix heavy items at height (mezzanine, TV, etc. ).
Older children, who already know how to crawl, wean them from approaching the stove, window sills, each time warning: “Danger!”.
Sharp corners on furniture should be covered with special protective caps sold in stores.
Raise all dangerous substances capable of causing poisoning to a height of at least 1.5 m, and it is best to keep medicines, vitamins, vinegar, cosmetics, household chemicals, etc. under lock and key.
Remove tablecloths and oilcloths whose edges are loose or hanging down – pulling on them, the baby can drop dishes, books or a flower pot.
Hide baby-attractive glass jars, ceramic dishes, vases, carafes and anything else that could break and injure your baby. Under the open sun, walk with your child for a short time, using a hat and observing the drinking regimen.
Baby’s nervous system
The problem of children’s health has always been one of the main priorities in the state system. Its versatility consists not only in the birth of a healthy child, but also in the creation of favorable conditions for its growth and development. Great importance is attached to the development of a system for the prevention and treatment of sick children, including children with congenital pathology.
In this regard, special attention is paid to disorders that occur in the antenatal and perinatal periods of development. It should be noted that the technical capabilities of diagnostic medicine (including DNA diagnostics), fetal imaging methods have significantly expanded, and therefore early diagnosis of diseases and malformations has become possible. The pathology of early childhood and especially newborns is an increased complexity for the diagnostic process. To a greater extent, this applies to neurological examination. At this age, the general symptoms associated with the immaturity of the central nervous system come to the fore. Morphological immaturity of the central nervous system is manifested by the peculiarity of its functioning, which is characterized by an undifferentiated response to various stimuli, the lack of stability of neurological reactions and their rapid exhaustion.
When evaluating the data obtained, it is necessary to take into account the state of the mother both during pregnancy and during childbirth.
Violations in the health of the mother can lead to depression of the general condition of the child, weakening of motor activity, inhibition or weakening of conditioned or unconditioned reflexes.
The state of the newborn may change significantly with intrauterine growth retardation. In addition, when examining a child, it is necessary to take into account the state of the environment: lighting, noise, room air temperature, etc. For the final diagnosis, a repeated examination is carried out, since the neurological symptoms detected for the first time may disappear during a second examination, or, symptoms , regarded for the first time as mild signs of a CNS disorder, may become more significant in the future. Assessment of the neurological status of children in the first year of life, including newborns, has a number of features. Thus, there is a predominance of general reactions, regardless of the nature of the irritating factors, and some symptoms, regarded in older children and adults as unconditionally pathological, are the norm in newborns and infants, reflecting the degree of maturity of certain structures of the nervous system and the stages of functional morphogenesis. The examination begins with visual observation of the child. Pay attention to the position of the head, torso, limbs. Spontaneous movements of the arms and legs are assessed, the child’s posture is determined, and the volume of active and passive movements is analyzed. A newborn baby’s arms and legs are in constant motion. Spontaneous locomotor activity and crying increase before feeding and weaken after it. The newborn sucks and swallows well.
With cerebral disorders, there is a sharp decrease in spontaneous motor activity. Sucking and swallowing reflexes are sharply reduced or absent. Low-amplitude high-frequency tremor of the chin, arms during a cry or an excited state of a newborn refers to physiological manifestations. A newborn full-term baby and an infant of the first months of life holds a predominantly flexor posture of the limbs, i.e. muscle tone in the flexors of the limbs prevails over the tone in the extensors, and the tone in the arms is higher than in the legs and it is symmetrical. Changes in muscle tone are manifested by muscle hypotension, dystonia, and hypertension.
Muscular hypotension is one of the most frequently diagnosed syndromes in newborns. It can be expressed from birth and be diffuse or limited, depending on the nature of the pathological process. It occurs in: congenital forms of neuromuscular diseases, asphyxia, intracranial and spinal birth trauma, damage to the peripheral nervous system, chromosomal syndromes, hereditary metabolic disorders, as well as in preterm infants. Since muscle hypotension is often combined with other neurological disorders (convulsions, hydrocephalus, cranial nerve paresis, etc.), the latter can modify the nature of developmental delay. It should also be noted that the quality of the hypotension syndrome itself and its impact on developmental delay will vary depending on the disease. Children with reduced excitability, with hypotension syndrome, suck sluggishly, often spit up.
Muscular hypertension syndrome is characterized by increased resistance to passive movements, limitation of spontaneous and voluntary motor activity. With the syndrome of muscular hypertension, some effort should be made to open the fists or straighten the limbs. Moreover, children quite often react to this by crying. Hypertonicity syndrome occurs with: increased intracranial pressure, purulent meningitis, biliary encephalopathy, intrauterine infection with CNS damage, after intracranial hemorrhage. Children with hypertonicity often have difficulty feeding, as the acts of sucking and swallowing are uncoordinated. Regurgitation and aerophagia are noted. However, it should be noted that physiological hypertension is observed in children during the first months of life. It arises due to the absence of the inhibitory effect of the pyramidal system on the spinal reflex arcs. But, if, as the baby grows older, there is an increase in muscle hypertension and the appearance of unilateral symptoms, then this should alert in terms of the possible development of cerebral palsy. The syndrome of movement disorders in newborns may be accompanied by muscular dystonia (a state of alternating tones – muscular hypotension alternates with muscular hypertension). Dystonia – a passing increase in muscle tone in the flexors, then in the extensor. At rest, these children with passive movements expressed general muscular dystonia. When you try to perform any movement, with positive or emotional reactions, muscle tone increases dramatically. Such conditions are called dystonic attacks. The syndrome of mild transient muscular dystonia does not significantly affect the age-related motor development of the child. Only a doctor, a pediatrician and a neuropathologist can assess the state of muscle tone, so parents should remember that timely access to a doctor, dynamic observation of a child by specialists, necessary examinations carried out on time, and compliance with the appointments of the attending physician can prevent the development of any serious disorders from the side of CNS. When assessing the neurological status in children after examining muscle tone, it is necessary to examine the head, measure its circumference and compare its size with the size of the chest.
Hydrocephalus is characterized by an increase in the size of the head, which is associated with the expansion of the ventricular systems of the brain and subarochnoid spaces due to an excess amount of cerebrospinal fluid.
Macrocephaly is an increase in the size of the head, accompanied by an increase in the mass and size of the brain. May be a congenital malformation of the brain, occurs in children with famacoses, storage diseases, may be a family feature. Microcephaly is a reduction in the size of the head due to the small size of the brain. Congenital microcephaly is observed in genetic diseases, occurs with intrauterine neuroinfection, alcoholic fetopathy, brain malformations and other diseases.
Microcrania – reduction in the size of the head due to slow growth of the skull bones and their rapid ossification, with early closure of the sutures and fontanelles. Often, microcrania is a hereditary-constitutional feature. Craniostenosis is a congenital malformation of the skull, which leads to the formation of an irregular shape of the head with a change in its size, characterized by fusion of the sutures, a violation of the growth of individual bones of the skull. Craniostenosis is detected already in the first year of life and is manifested by various deformities of the skull – tower, navicular, triangular, etc. It is very important to assess the condition of the fontanelles. At birth, the anterior (large) and posterior (small) fontanelles are determined. The size of the fontanel is individual and ranges from 1 to 3 cm. A large fontanel closes, as a rule, by 1.5 years. The delay in the closure of the fontanel may be associated with high intracranial pressure, features of the ontogeny of the skull. Pay attention also to the presence of hematomas, swelling of the tissues of the head, the state of the subcutaneous venous network. Often, in children of the first day of life, palpation reveals swelling of the soft tissues of the head (birth tumor), which is not limited to one bone and reflects the physiological trauma of the skin and subcutaneous tissue during childbirth.
Cephalhematoma – hemorrhage under the periosteum, which is always located within one bone. Large cephalohematomas are removed, small ones resolve themselves.
Expanded subcutaneous venous network on the head indicates increased intracranial pressure both due to the CSF component and due to impaired venous outflow. The presence or absence of the above symptoms can only be assessed by a doctor (pediatrician or neuropathologist), after a thorough examination. In case of changes found by him, the child may be prescribed the necessary examination (NSG, EEG, Doppler examination of cerebral vessels, etc.), as well as treatment. After a general examination of a newborn child, an assessment of his consciousness, motor activity, muscle tone, the condition of the bones of the skull and soft tissues of the head, the pediatrician and neuropathologist assess the condition of the cranial nerves, unconditioned and tendon reflexes. The state of the cranial nerves in a newborn can be judged by the peculiarities of his facial expressions, crying, the act of sucking and swallowing, and the reaction to sound. Particular attention is paid to the organ of vision, since external changes in the eyes in some cases make it possible to suspect the presence of a congenital or hereditary disease, hypoxic or traumatic damage to the central nervous system. Specialist doctors (pediatrician, neurologist, ophthalmologist), when assessing the organ of vision, pay attention to the size and symmetry of the palpebral fissures, the condition of the iris, the presence of hemorrhage, the shape of the pupil, the presence of exophthalmos, nystagmus, ptosis and strabismus. The condition of the deeper structures of the eye (crystalline lens, vitreous body, retina) can only be assessed by an ophthalmologist. Therefore, it is so important that already in the first month of life the child be examined not only by a pediatrician and a neurologist, but also by an ophthalmologist.
Thus, in order to diagnose in time and prevent serious disorders of the central nervous system in the future, parents must follow a number of rules: regular examinations by a neurologist: at 1 month, 3 months and a year; if the need arises, then more often.
Consultations with an ophthalmologist at 1 month, 3 months and 1 year, if necessary, more often. Carrying out a screening study of the central nervous system (neurosonography) and other studies, if there is an indication for this. Strict adherence to the appointments of doctors observing the child.
Influenza is an acute viral illness that usually occurs between November and March. The infection mainly affects the upper respiratory tract and is accompanied by severe intoxication. Influenza in newborns sometimes provokes complications in the form of acute otitis media, pneumonia, damage to the cardiovascular and nervous systems. Influenza in young children Influenza is an extremely contagious disease. The disease spreads rapidly and in some cases reaches epidemic proportions. At first, adults mainly get sick, then cases of influenza begin to be recorded among children.
Influenza in small children sometimes forces to close groups in kindergarten, nursery, school classes for quarantine. Epidemics are associated with the fact that in winter people spend a long time indoors, communicate in large groups, and receive little vitamins from food. In winter, viruses spread especially quickly, as cold weather and short daylight hours contribute to their active reproduction. Influenza affects children of all ages. Most often, the disease is fixed after 2-3 years of age.
Influenza in newborns is somewhat less common, although such situations are quite possible during epidemics. Influenza in the first month of life The neonatal period is four weeks after birth. This time is a difficult test for the baby, as the child adapts to an independent existence outside the mother’s body. Influenza in a newborn is possible in two ways, depending on whether infection occurred before or after birth. Congenital influenza occurs in those children whose mothers fell ill shortly before birth. The child is born weakened, he has subfebrile temperature, swelling of the nasopharyngeal mucosa. Such children are lethargic, eat poorly, and are prone to respiratory disorders. Influenza in a newborn with a congenital form is often complicated by a bacterial infection, which leads to inflammation of the lungs. The severe course of the disease requires hospitalization in the intensive care unit for infants. Influenza in a newborn can also occur when infected after birth. In this case, the baby is born healthy, but later becomes infected with the flu from others. Symptoms of the disease increase gradually. In the first days the temperature rises slightly, but the child loses his appetite, becomes lethargic, sleepy. Moderate catarrhal phenomena are manifested in the form of a slight runny nose, swelling of the nasopharynx, cough. The child’s breathing changes. The baby is snoring, trying to breathe through his mouth.
Prevention and treatment of influenza in newborns Influenza in a newborn occurs after direct contact with sick adults or other children. To avoid infection, it is necessary to protect the child from excessive communication. Similar measures are reflected in the folk tradition: you can’t show a baby up to a month to anyone except the closest family members. If someone close to the baby is sick, then the child should be tried to isolate within the apartment. Ventilate the room more often, carry out wet cleaning, wear medical masks. Prevention of influenza in newborns is possible with the help of medicines. Use human interferon preparations at the correct dose as recommended by your pediatrician. It is most convenient to choose drops or rectal suppositories. The main prevention of influenza in young children is breast milk. Even if the mother herself is sick, then she should not stop breastfeeding. With women’s milk, the baby receives the protection of maternal immunity. In general, the flu in a newborn is fairly easy if the baby was born at term and is breastfed. Often the baby does not even get sick, although other family members carry the flu. If the child is sick, then you need to seek medical help. Call your doctor immediately if your body temperature is over 38 degrees. Influenza in newborns is treated with antiviral drugs, antipyretics. In some cases, hospitalization is required. Influenza in a one-year-old child One-year-old children get the flu more often than newborns. The disease always proceeds in an acute form. The temperature rises above 38.5 degrees, there are chills, cough, severe weakness, appetite disappears. Influenza in a one-year-old child lasts about 5-7 days. The baby needs to provide bed rest, give plenty of fluids and light food. If the temperature is high, give the child antipyretic drugs and call the doctor at home. Influenza in young children requires special attention and treatment. Strictly follow medical advice. This will help to avoid serious complications and favorably recover from the disease.
How to care for the skin of a newborn.
After discharge from the hospital, mother and baby gradually get used to the daily routine. The child should eat well and be warm – this is the first on the list. No less important is the care of the skin of the baby, which is very delicate and sensitive to external stimuli. To adapt to the new environment, the baby needs time and care of parents. Chemicals, fragrances, dyes in clothes, and detergents cause redness, diaper rash, or a rash. How to properly care for the skin of a newborn to protect the child from contact dermatitis, allergies, and other rashes?
Bathing
The baby is born with a protective coating. During this period, there is no need to bathe the baby or use baby lotions and creams.
A full bath is normal from the first days of a baby’s life, the main thing is to follow the rules:
– bathe your baby in a warm room.
– water should be at body temperature: 36-37 degrees to the touch.
– make sure that the necessary items for the procedure are within reach. Remove jewelry that may scratch the child.
– hold the newborn firmly by raising his head above the water.
– Do not use Q-tip to clean nose and ears.
– To wash your baby’s face, use water without soap.
– never leave your child unattended while bathing, even for a moment.
— For the first 2-3 months after birth, give up shampoo and soap, which can cause an allergic reaction in the baby.
– if you do use baby bath products, make sure they are soft, suitable for babies and odorless.
– then carefully wrap the baby in a cotton towel or a special corner robe for newborns.
– the room in which the baby will be after the bath should be warm, and air conditioners and fans should be turned off to prevent colds. Umbilical cord care
By the time you are discharged from the hospital, this organ, which connected mother and baby during all 9 months of pregnancy, will begin to dry out. Gradually, the umbilical cord atrophies and falls off within 1-2 weeks. Until then, the place of its attachment to the belly of the newborn must be kept clean and dry. All you need is plain water. You can not pull the keratinized part, even if it begins to fall off. The process will end by itself. To protect your baby’s delicate skin, buy diapers for newborns that have a notch in the waistband for the unhealed navel. If you are using regular diapers, fold the edge so that the fabric does not rub against the tummy. In some cases, the child may need a doctor. Contact your pediatrician if your child has a fever of 38°C or more along with changes in the navel: the area is red and swollen; oozing yellow pus; there is an unpleasant smell. Many mothers are worried about the appearance of small specks of blood on the baby’s undershirt or diaper, the child’s bed. A little bleeding is normal.
Diapers and diapers
Change diapers more often as soon as you notice that they are wet or dirty. If left for too long, it can cause infections. For newborn hygiene, thoroughly clean the genital area after every diaper change. Wash your baby under warm, running water to prevent irritation. Allow a few minutes for the skin to air dry, or gently pat dry with a soft towel. Use baby wipes less often to care for your newborn’s skin. Perfume and alcohol in them can cause irritation, cause a rash. Make sure you buy diapers in a size that fits your baby. If the baby’s skin in the diaper area is irritated, choose a different brand or stop using them for a while. . Wash reusable diapers and diapers with a mild, unscented detergent or clean, hot water. Most diaper rashes on a newborn’s skin are not dangerous, but some can be a sign of an infection and need to be looked after. If the baby’s skin is very reddened, itchy, or causes pain, contact your pediatrician immediately.
What to do in case of skin problems
In the first months after birth, the baby may develop a rash, irritation, diaper rash, which seem unusual to parents.
Most of the newborn skin problems do not need treatment:
– baby acne – a small red rash on the face. As a rule, it disappears over time without intervention.
Milia are tiny whiteheads on a child’s face.
– erythema is a common patchy rash that can affect newborns. Some appear as yellow or white bumps surrounded by a red halo. The rash tends to migrate to different parts of the body. It is most common on the second day of life, but may appear at birth or within the first two weeks. There is no cure – erythema gradually disappears on its own.
Eczema
This rash appears as red bumps that may fester. It usually appears on the forehead, cheeks, or scalp, and sometimes spreads to other parts of the body. The risk group includes infants who suffer from allergies from birth or have a genetic predisposition to the disease. In case of pathology, it is recommended to use special moisturizers: ointments, creams, oils. Do not bathe the baby for a long time with this disease. When an allergic rash appears, a consultation with a pediatrician is required.
Diaper rash
Reasons for occurrence:
– untimely diaper change. Urine or stool in a diaper irritates a newborn’s skin, causing red weeping spots.
– bacterial or yeast infection. Taking antibiotics can cause the growth of fungi of the genus Candida. It usually appears around the genitals and buttocks of an infant. It looks like red spots with a whitish coating.
How to take care of your skin to prevent diaper rash:
– don’t use reusable diapers too often.
– Avoid talcum powder: it dries out the skin of a newborn.
– air baths for half an hour. Heat rash is caused by overheating of the body. It is usually visible in the folds of the baby’s skin. Hot, humid weather is a favorable time for prickly heat. To avoid rashes, keep your newborn cool by dressing him in loose cotton clothing.
Contact dermatitis
This disease develops when the baby’s skin comes into contact with an irritant. The rash appears at the points of contact with the allergen: metal latches on T-shirts; dyes in clothes; washing powder; inappropriate soap, shampoo; allergic to the oil used. Parents need to trace, after which rashes appear, and eliminate the irritant. To bathe the baby, you need to use shampoo and soap that do not cause allergies in the newborn; iron baby clothes before putting them on. For washing, special powders or gels are used that do not contain fragrances and dyes, the child’s clothes, bed linen and blankets are washed separately from the family’s wardrobe items.
Developmental classes for a newborn up to 1 month old
How to conduct developmental sessions with a newborn baby up to 1 month old? During this brief period, your baby is trying to adjust to life outside of the mother’s body. While he is not yet able to move independently, eat, but he can cry and smile about his feelings. Crying indicates discomfort or pain, and a smile usually appears after feeding or during sleep and means that the baby is calm.
Newborns differ from each other in terms of their level of physical activity. Some children are inactive and passive when lying on their back. Very active babies can reflexively roll over from their stomach to their back.
Different in babies and the level of muscle tone. Some children are more relaxed: they have weak muscle tone in the arms and legs. Other newborns are more tense: their arms are tightly pressed to the body, their knees are constantly bent, and their fingers are tightly clenched into fists.
The newborn is mostly asleep, periods of wakefulness are rare and short-lived. Therefore, use the time of feeding, bathing, dressing and rest for the development of the baby.
Useful activities with newborns
While feeding, touch the baby, stroke his head, shoulders, arms, talk to him affectionately. These touches soothe the child.
While bathing, talk gently to your baby, lightly stroke his body with your hand or a piece of soft cloth. After bathing, while the child is in a good mood, gently massage his shoulders, arms, legs, back, stomach.
When dressing or undressing the baby, changing diapers, gently touch the fingers on the arms and legs.
Take the child in your arms, gently rocking him, change the position of the body. Do not leave the baby in the same position when he lies on the bed: lay him not only on his back, but also on his side. This is very useful for the child: he will learn to move his arms and legs.
Change your tone, smile and laugh when you look at your baby. In the near future, he will help him understand your emotions and express joy.
Stimulate the development of the organs of vision. Pass a glowing toy or flashlight with a red or yellow light from side to side in front of the child.
Hang some sounding toys above the crib: a bell or a rattle would be great. Touch them so that the baby hears the sounds.
Gently shake a rattle or other sounding toy to the right and then to the left of the baby. After a while, the baby will begin to understand where the sound comes from.
Instead of a rattle, you can use various iron jars, plastic bottles, plastic boxes filled with cereals.
If you put a finger or a wooden stick in the child’s hand, he will wrap his fingers around them. This is useful for developing tactile sensitivity.
Sing songs to your baby and rock him. Dance while holding your baby. Work with a newborn and give him the joy of communication from the first month of life!

Tummy time and its meaning for your child
As a parent of a newborn, you have probably heard the term “tummy time” and perhaps thought that it’s just a game with your child. Yes, it is, but it is also an opportunity to help your child gain strength and work on motor development.
Read on to learn more about the benefits of tummy time, how to give your baby tummy time, and how you can make tummy time fun for your little one.
What is belly time?
Your baby’s tummy time involves laying an awake baby on their stomach for short periods of time while you watch them carefully. This exercise is important for your child’s development as it helps strengthen the neck and shoulder muscles as well as improve motor skills.
Just remember that your baby should always be supervised during tummy time.

What is the use of tummy time?
Giving your baby tummy time every day has a number of benefits:
Promotes physical development. Tummy time helps to strengthen your child’s neck, arms, back and legs, and helps them gain flexibility and muscle control. The motor skills and strength she develops will be required to roll over and sit, and then crawl and walk.
Offers a new way of looking at the world. This gives your child the opportunity to observe and explore the environment in a different way than when he is lying on his back. Lying on her stomach, she has to raise her head to look around. This not only helps her strengthen her back and neck muscles, but also gives her a new perspective on the world.
Helps relieve torticollis and avoid flat head syndrome. Tummy time can be helpful for children with torticollis, a condition that causes neck muscles to tighten. Tummy time, as well as exercises prescribed by a doctor, can help relax a child’s tense neck muscles. Spending time on your stomach while awake can also help avoid flat spots on the back of your baby’s head, known as flat head syndrome.
Adds new textures. It exposes your child to different textures as the skin on different parts of his body comes into contact with the surface he is on.
When to start giving time to the tummy?
You can start tummy time while you and your newborn are still in the hospital, or as soon as your newborn comes home from the hospital.
It is recommended to start early so that the child can get used to the activities. Keep in mind that you do not need to worry about the stump of the umbilical cord when you start doing time for the abdomen – the stump will be fine.
To get started at this early stage, place the baby on your chest or stomach while you are reclined in a chair, bed, or floor. Take time to interact with your child, make eye contact, talk animatedly, and make exaggerated facial expressions. This is a great way to bond with your newborn!
Tummy Time
Tummy time can vary slightly for newborns and older children. Read on to learn more about specific methods for doing tummy time.
Tummy time for newborns
As your baby is just starting to develop head and neck control, follow these guidelines for tummy time for newborns 0-3 months old:
Lay your newborn on their stomach with their stomach down. chest or kneeling while she is awake.
To help her feel more comfortable, interact with her by making eye contact, smiling broadly, and talking to her in a happy voice while singing songs.
At this stage, try to keep your tummy short for three to five minutes at a time. You can gradually increase the length when you see that she enjoys this activity. Give your baby tummy time about two to three times a day. After a diaper change or an afternoon nap, this can be a great time to do so.
Although your baby may have more head control and stronger neck muscles by the end of the first month, you still need to support his head when you hold him. She won’t be able to hold her head on her own until she’s 4 months old.
Tummy Time for Older Babies
Here’s how to give your older child tummy time between 4 and 7 months of age:
Lay your baby belly down on a spot on the floor covered with a blanket or towel. , or play mat.
Play with and interact with her by lying on the floor with her and even swinging a toy in front of her.
Offer a tummy session of three to five minutes at a time, which will eventually increase once you see that she enjoys the activity. You can spend time two or three times a day, for example, after a diaper change or feeding.
Around this time, your baby is likely to be able to fully raise his head while on his tummy, and he may also begin to raise himself on his hands, arch his back, and lift his chest. This newly gained upper body strength will help her eventually learn to sit.
You may also notice that she is rocking on her stomach, kicking or “floating” with her hands when she is lying on her stomach. This often happens around 5 months and indicates she is developing the strength and skills needed to to roll over and maybe even crawl.
How often should you spend time on your tummy?
It is recommended to spend time on the abdomen two to three times a day. As your child gets used to this activity, you can do it more often or for longer sessions.
Where is the best place to spend time on your tummy?
In the newborn stage (0 to 3 months), you can start spending time on your stomach by placing your baby on your stomach or on your lap.
Later, the best place to rest on your stomach is on a low, safe surface, such as a clean floor or a floor covered with a play mat or blanket. Just make sure the blanket doesn’t slip when your baby moves.
You might be wondering if you can spend time on your stomach on another surface. Don’t spend time on your stomach on a sofa, bed, or any other elevated or soft surface. In such places, the child may suffocate or suddenly roll and fall. Also, don’t spend time on your stomach on pillows or other soft surfaces.
Ways to transform your tummy while playing
Tummy time is a great opportunity to play with your baby. Here are four ideas:
Place a favorite toy out of your child’s reach and encourage him to reach for the toy. Or, instead of a toy, you can also sit low and out of your child’s reach so that he can raise his head and try to reach your face.
Place the toys in various places around the child. This will encourage him to reach out to different points and, as a result, help develop the muscles he will need to roll over, move, and eventually crawl.
Instead of placing your baby on the surface on your tummy, you can place your baby on your lap or chest. It is especially recommended for newborns up to 3 months. While on your knees, simultaneously raise and lower your legs; then, for a change, move the child from side to side. On your chest, your baby will try to raise his head and arms to look at you. During these workouts, keep talking to your baby to soothe and reassure him.
If you have a baby or small child in the house, have him play with your baby while he rests on his tummy. This can be a good time for siblings to bond.
What to do if your child hates tummy time?
Your baby may not like being on her tummy at first – after all, this is the position she is trying for the first time.
Here are some strategies you can try:
Have a colorful toy within reach to keep him busy.
Stand alone on the floor within his sight and entertain him with a toy or singing for him.
If he is still not having fun, ask someone to entertain him.
Try lying on your side. In this “tummy” style, you lay the baby on its side. If necessary, roll up a towel to support his back and fold a clean washcloth under his head. The child’s arms should be placed forward, the legs should be in front of his hips, and the knees bent. Your baby may prefer to rest on their tummy this way.
Eventually, your child will learn this new activity, and they may like it.
Tummy time can be fun for both you and your baby as it is a great opportunity to bond. It is also a chance for your child to develop the muscle control needed for all future successes such as sitting, crawling and eventually walking. Daily tummy time exercises will bring many benefits in terms of your baby’s ongoing development.

Newborn Development: 0-1 Months – Children’s Health Orange County
How old will my baby be?
In the first month of life, babies usually catch up with and exceed their birth weight, and then gradually continue to gain weight. A weight loss of up to 10 percent of birth weight is normal in the first two to three days after birth. However, the baby should get this back and reach their birth weight in about two weeks. While all babies may grow at different rates, below are the averages for boys and girls under 1 month of age:
• Weight: Should gain about 1 ounce each day after the first two weeks • Average birth length: 20 inches for boys, 19 3/4 inches for girls • Average body length at one month: 21 1/2 inches for boys, 21 inches for girls • Head size: by the end of the first month increases to just under 1 inch larger than at birth
What can my baby do at this age?
Although a newborn sleeps about 16 hours a day, the baby’s waking hours can be busy. Most of the movements and activities of a newborn are reflexes or involuntary – the baby does not make these movements purposefully. As the nervous system begins to mature, these reflexes give way to purposeful behavior.
Newborn reflexes include:
• Root reflex. This reflex occurs when the corner of the child’s mouth is touched. The baby turns its head and opens its mouth to follow and “root” in the direction of the stroke. The root reflex helps the baby find the breast or bottle.
• Sucking reflex. When the palate touches the breast or the nipple of the bottle, he begins to suck. This reflex begins before about the 32nd week of pregnancy and is fully developed until about the 36th week. Premature babies may have a weak or immature sucking ability because they were born before this reflex developed. Babies also have a handshake reflex that accompanies rooting and sucking, and may also suck fingers or hands.
• Moro reflex. The Moro reflex is often referred to as the startle reflex because it usually occurs when a child is frightened by a loud sound or movement. In response to the sound, the child throws back his head, throws out his arms and legs, cries, and then draws his arms and legs back. Sometimes the child’s own cry can frighten him or her, initiating this reflex. The Moro reflex persists until the child is 5-6 months old.
• Tonic neck reflex. When the baby’s head is turned to one side, the arm on that side is extended and the opposite arm is bent at the elbow. This is often referred to as the “fencing” position. The tonic neck reflex persists until the baby is 6-7 months old.
• Grasping reflex. In the grasp reflex, stroking the child’s palm causes the child to close the fingers in the grip. The grasp reflex lasts only a couple of months and is stronger in premature babies.
• Babinski reflex. In the Babinski reflex, when the sole of the foot is firmly stroked, the big toe bends back towards the top of the foot, and the other toes diverge to the sides. This is a normal reflex until the child is about 2 years old.
• Step reflex. This reflex is also called the walking or dancing reflex because the baby appears to be stepping or dancing when held upright with his or her feet touching a hard surface.
Newborns not only have unique reflexes, but also exhibit a range of physical characteristics and behaviors, including the following:
• Head sags when raised, requires support • Turns head from side to side when lying on stomach • Eyes sometimes uncoordinated, may appear cross-eyed • Initially fixes gaze on face or light, then begins to follow moving object • Begins to raise head while lying on stomach • Jerky, erratic movements • Brings hands to mouth
What can my child say?
At this early age, crying is the child’s only form of communication. At first, all children’s cries sound the same, but soon parents learn different types of cries of hunger, discomfort, frustration, fatigue, and even loneliness. Sometimes it’s easy to respond to a baby’s crying by feeding or changing a diaper. In other cases, the cause of the crying may be a mystery, and the crying stops as quickly as it starts. Whatever the reason, responding to a baby’s cry with comforting touches and words is essential in helping the baby learn to trust and rely on you for love and safety. You can also use warmth and rocking to soothe the baby.
What does my child understand?
You may find that your child reacts in a variety of ways, including:
• Strikes with loud noise • Looks at faces and images with contrasting black and white images • Pays attention to voices, can turn into sound • Hints of smile, especially when sleeping
How can I help my child develop and improve his emotional security?
Young children need parental protection and they understand the confidence and comfort of your voice, tone, and emotions. Consider the following ways to increase your newborn’s emotional safety:
• Hold the child face to face. • Speak in a soothing tone and let your baby hear your sweet and friendly voice. • Sing to your baby. • Walk your baby in a sling, carrier or stroller. • Swaddle your baby in a soft blanket to help him or her feel secure and prevent him or her from flinching at his own movements. • Rock your baby in rhythmic, gentle motions. • Respond quickly to a crying baby.
One-month-old baby care
Welcome your baby into the family has probably changed your life. Every day passes in a blur, and it will be difficult to find time for anything other than taking care of your child’s needs.
At 1 month of age, babies still want to feed frequently and their sleep patterns are unpredictable. Many of them are still quite sleepy and, except for short periods of wakefulness after feeding and being awake, sleep at least a couple of hours between feedings.
Feeding
Expect your baby to need at least 6 meals/24 hours at 1 month of age. If they are breastfeeding, this can increase up to 12 times. Try not to control feeding times too much and let your baby decide how much and how often he wants to feed. If they don’t get sick or have a premature baby, they will be able to tell when they need to feed and be satisfied with the amount of milk in their stomach.
Sleeping
Give your child plenty of opportunities to sleep and be sensitive to his sleep signals. The novelty of the birth of a child in the house, probably, has not yet passed. It is easy to overdo things with small babies, which, although done with the best of intentions, can lead to overworking them. Even at this early stage, try to put your baby to bed when he is tired and not already asleep. Sometimes it will be easier than others. Most young children fall asleep shortly after feeding, and their “sleep window” can be very short.
Follow SIDS instructions every time you put your baby in the crib. Check Red Nose for specific information.
Behavior
You may see the first smiles when your baby is 1 month old, but this is most likely due to his reflexes, not reactions. By six weeks, your baby is likely to smile genuinely at you. Many babies develop colic by 1 month of age and discover their lungs. This can alarm parents who have been lulled into thinking their child is quite passive and calm.
Crying hurts parents and their babies. Visit the sleep section of the Huggies website for specific information on how to soothe your baby and help them calm down. What calms them down one day may not be as effective the next. Develop a range of comforting responses and try them all. Remember that there is no right or wrong way to calm a child. As long as you are gentle and kind, your child will respond to your efforts. However, the time it takes to respond depends on many factors.
Developmental milestones
Your child can now follow with his eyes and follow moving objects. First of all, they will look at your face and make eye contact with you for a couple of minutes. Babies are wired to look for their parents’ faces, listen to their voices, and turn in the direction of human sound. Early interactive experiences with you and others will help your child’s brain grow and explore the world. Although they are extremely vulnerable and dependent on you for all their needs, they are also built to seek stimuli.
Height
Your baby should be well over her birth weight by now. Most babies regain their birth weight within the first 2 weeks after birth. The average weight gain at this age is 150-200 grams per week. If your child is not gaining weight or growing, there is a reason and it is important to check with your doctor.
Excess fat will show up on your child’s thighs, belly and face. They may have more fat deposits in their necks and forearms. Don’t worry about your child gaining too much weight at this age. Breastfed babies usually gain a lot of weight in the first few months of life and then plateau or even stop gaining weight. Formula-fed babies tend to gain weight at a more stable and consistent rate.
Well
Your child will have their first vaccinations in a month, so explore your options for where you decide to get it. Most councils offer free immunization services and open clinics on certain days and hours. Alternatively, you can go to your GP, but you will likely be charged for the consultation.
Try to minimize your child’s contact with an unhealthy person. It makes sense to reduce any possible exposure to infections, and while you can’t completely isolate your child, you’ll be doing him a favor by taking reasonable precautions.
Handwashing is the number one method for fighting infections and minimizing exposure. After changing a diaper and before feeding, wash your hands and dry them well. You may find that your hands dry out more than usual, so apply a quality hand cream as often as possible.
Safety
Get in the habit of lifting the sides of your baby’s crib before leaving. Although it’s still a couple of months before your child starts riding, it’s a good habit to get into. Similarly, when your baby is on the changing table, on the couch, or any other surface, make sure you hold him with one hand at all times. Active babies can squirm and squirm and should be supervised especially carefully.
It is important that you always fasten your child to their stroller and rocker. Use seat belts, even if they seem incredibly large and unwieldy. They are designed to keep your child safe. If your stroller has a wrist strap, make sure you are using it as intended.
Getting used to baby equipment and furniture takes time and a lot of practice. Don’t miss the opportunity to try this when you don’t have time. Holding a crying baby in one hand and fighting with a folding baby carriage while trying to read the instructions is a situation best avoided.
Play and interaction
Give your baby daily tummy time. This will help them develop neck and upper body strength. They can only tolerate this for a short period of time, but don’t let that stop you from proposing. Turn on the music and try not to disturb your child’s world. While it may be tempting to tiptoe around the house when your baby is sleeping, this can lead to him becoming sensitive to environmental noise. Babies who enter families with many young children seem oblivious to the noise of the house and learn to adjust because they have to.
What about mother?
Your emotions
Expect to be weary and crying now. Your initial energy reserves after pregnancy are likely to decrease and there will be times when you will feel very tired. The usual advice to sleep when the baby is sleeping is sound. Try not to view bedtime as an opportunity to get a lot of work done. It will only tire you out and exhaust you even more.
Self care
Try not to neglect the basics. Showering, changing into clean clothes, brushing your teeth, combing your hair will make you feel much better. There are times when you just need to let the baby cry while you take care of your needs. This is a fact of life for many mothers. If you leave it for a short time in a safe place, such as a crib, your baby will not be harmed. By taking a break and doing something for yourself, you can significantly change your outlook and give you new energy to invest in your child.
You need to sleep
Even if you have never slept during the day, learn how to do it. However, sleep is not necessarily everything and the end. Resting, lifting your legs, reading a magazine, or just doing nothing can save energy. Expect your night’s sleep to be disturbed, this is normal for early parenting. Your child does not know and does not appreciate your need for long uninterrupted sleep at night, so expecting more from him will be unrealistic.
Your relationship
It will be a busy time and you will have few opportunities to work on your relationship. Try to prioritize what’s important and not feel guilty if you don’t have time to invest in your partner or friends. Most sensible adults understand that young children absorb a huge amount of their parents’ attention and energy.
Developmental milestones from newborn to 1 month old
In the first month of your baby’s life, don’t be surprised if he is full of food, sleep, pooping and crying . At this age, infants have very little control over their voluntary muscles and instead rely mainly on reflex actions such as sucking, yawning, sneezing, crying and burping . The opening of the hand is an important moment, and even more so when your child realizes that this hand controls him. Crawling, walking and even running will start sooner than you think, but they start when your child discovers his body and the world around him.
At birth before one month, most babies will:
Jerky, uncoordinated kicks to arms and legs.
Suck confidently at the breast or bottle.
Writhing and writhing in your lap or in your crib.
Raise your hands to your mouth or eyes.
Frightened by sudden movements or noises.
Turn their heads when you touch their cheeks.
Crying, screaming, gurgling, sneezing, blinking and other natural reflexes.
Waking up many times during the night (every 2-3 hours) to feed.
Reflexively grasp an object or a finger in your hand.
Clench your hands into fists.
At birth up to one month, some babies may:
Attempt to raise the head while lying on the stomach.
Begin to open arms at rest.
At birth up to one month, they can:
Attempt to rise while lying on the stomach.
Begin to swing their arms and legs in a more coordinated rather than abrupt manner.
Follow you through their eyes as you walk across the room.

1 month old baby – newborn care, feeding, sleep patterns and more
Halfpoint Images / Getty Images
Hey mom, guess what? You’re doing it! You’re starting to figure out what to do with a newborn and slowly but surely approaching the one-month mark. You’ve managed to get through those first few sleepless weeks with a tiny, sometimes screaming, always pooping human that you’re not quite used to yet.
Now that you’ve had a little more time to adjust (and hopefully, if you’re lucky, you can sleep somewhere for a few hours), you’re probably wondering what’s next. Here’s what you need to know about the typical developmental milestones and milestones of a one-month-old baby.
Milestones for your one month old baby
How much should a one month old baby weigh?
You will probably worry more about your baby’s weight in the first month than you can imagine, even if your pediatrician tells you that everything is going according to plan. However, this is understandable, since most children lose weight (between 5 and 10 percent) in the first five to seven days of life – and it can be frustrating to hear this at the first examination of the child.
The good news is that by now the baby should have gained this weight if he was not premature and had no health problems. According to the World Health Organization, the average monthly baby weighs 9.2 pounds for girls and 9.9 pounds for boys. If your baby falls outside this range, it doesn’t necessarily mean there’s a problem. Babies come in all shapes and sizes! In general, you just want your child to gain weight at a healthy rate.
How much do you feed a month old baby?
This brings us to the next question: how much do you feed a month old baby? If they must gain weight, then you must feed them, right? If you’re breastfeeding, it’s hard to put a number on it—as any breastfeeding mom will tell you, sometimes you have a baby who tends to camp on her breast. Typically, you’ll know a baby has had enough when they either tear their face off or, in the classic newborn trick, pass out.
If you are formula feeding, a one-month-old baby will typically take three to four ounces per feeding every three to four hours (for breastfeeding moms, the frequency of feedings is probably a little closer—say, two to three hours apart).
How much sleep should a month old baby?
On the one hand, you may have noticed that newborns sleep a lot. On the other hand, you probably complain that they sleep a lot in short bursts – and these short bursts tend to shorten your REM cycle at night. This is especially true if your one-month-old has developed “day/night confusion,” as it sounds like.
Per Stanford Children’s Health, however, a one-month-old baby should get about 15.5 hours of sleep, which is seven hours during the day and eight to nine hours at night. Your baby may sleep 19-20 hours, or perhaps less than 14 hours. But, as practice shows, newborns need from 14 to 17 hours.
Can a one month old baby do tummy time?
You know your baby needs tummy time. This helps prevent a flat spot on the head – known as positional plagiocephaly – due to frequent lying on the back. It also helps the child to strengthen the head, neck and upper body. But with the blurring of the new baby chaos, you might be a little unsure about when tummy time should start. Or if your one-month-old baby may even spend time on his tummy.
Well, you have the green light! Tummy time can start shortly after birth, starting with one to two increments a day. Over time, you can create spells that last between 20 and 30 minutes. At first, you can put the baby on your lap on your tummy. As they grow, you can lay out a blanket (or rug) in an empty space and let the child lie down there. Just make sure both you and the baby are awake and that you stay close while the baby is in the tummy for their safety.
Your one month old’s physical, social and cognitive milestones
What can a one month old baby see and smell?
The world becomes more and more interesting for your little one every day. Their eyes start to work together, although at this stage they are not always coordinated. So, if the child’s eyes cross or seem to wander, don’t dial the pediatric optometrist just yet – if the child’s eye doesn’t turn all the time or twists all the time, sometimes crossing is normal. And this does not bother them too much, since now they can see objects at a distance of eight to 12 inches and focus on them. While they love looking at black and white patterns as well as contrasting colors, you are probably their favorite activity with their cute little eyes.
Like a child’s vision, the sense of smell continues to develop. She probably doesn’t like anything that smells bitter or sour, but she likes things that smell sweet. Same thing baby Same as .
Hey, anything is possible. Your womb could be like the Palace of Solitude, sculpting and shaping a little Superman (or Supergirl). However, while some newborns roll over on their side while sleeping in the early days after birth, most babies usually don’t roll over until they’re a little older. Still, keep doing this tummy time! This will help the child only when he decides that he is ready for rock and roll.
Can a 1-month-old baby stand on its own?
When a baby is born, you should keep a close eye on his head, thanks to the neck of the noodles. You know what’s up – if your little one’s head isn’t secured, it tends to fall off. Fortunately, in these first few weeks, the baby begins to gain strength in the neck and head, and by the age of one month, he will probably be able to raise his head briefly. Some may even raise their head 45 degrees while on their stomach.
If your child has not yet reached this milestone, again, there is no need to panic. Babies develop at different rates. If you’re really concerned, call your pediatrician.
How often should poop be used at 1 month of age?
If you ever doubted that you could use every box of diapers you received during a baby shower, you probably doubt it a lot less now. For starters, your little one’s tiny bladder could mean she’s burning through four to six wet diapers a day. Poopy diapers aren’t that easy to predict. Most babies have a bowel movement at least once a day. But part of being a new parent is experiencing the popocalypse from time to time, too — it’s the explosion that ends a child’s no-poop streak. You won’t live this new parenting life until you’ve gone through half a pack of wet wipes trying to wipe poop off your back, legs, arms, everywhere .
The health of your one-month-old baby
What happens when a baby is examined at 1 month?
Your reluctance to visit another doctor’s office so soon after giving birth – and hey, those weekly prenatal trips – is understandable. his health and development.
So what happens during your child’s monthly checkup? The pediatrician will perform a physical exam to check the newborn’s reflexes, check his tongue movements, and examine the umbilical region (by now the stump is probably gone and the spot should be healing in the cute little navel that you’ll be hung up on for years to come) . The place of circumcision can also be examined on boys. The doctor will also want to know and possibly test some of the child’s newfound skills, such as lifting the head briefly and bringing the hands to the face. And finally, pull yourself together, mom … because there will be injections.

What vaccinations does a one-month-old baby get?
At 1-2 months of age, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that your baby be vaccinated against hepatitis B. Since your baby most likely received the first dose of HepB immunization shortly after birth, this may be the second dose.
How do I know if my 1 month old is healthy?
Parental intuition is strong, so follow your intuition if you feel something is wrong. But since babies are new, and their bodies are aware of the whole essence of life outside the womb, you should be aware of common health problems (which are usually harmless). These include constipation, congestion, gas, cradle cap, regurgitation, and baby acne.
If your baby has a bowel movement disorder, vomiting or spitting up with excessive crying, call your doctor to rule out underlying problems.

FEEDING YOUR 0-2 MONTHS | Pediatric partners | Overland Park, KS
Your baby only needs breast milk or iron-fortified infant formula for the first 4-6 months of life. Most formula-fed babies will eat every 2-4 hours, and breastfed babies every 2-3 hours. To learn how to decide what kind of milk to feed your baby, read How to choose what to feed.
Recommendations:
Breast milk or infant formula
0-1 month
18-24 oz. in 24 hours
1-2 months
22 – 28 oz. in 24 hours
2-3 months
25-32 oz. in 24 hours
3-4 months
28 – 36 oz. in 24 hours
Intake may also vary depending on the weight of the infant. Larger children will eat more.
Feeding Tips:
Your baby is likely to eat enough if he has 6 to 8 wet diapers a day.
Breastfed babies may need to eat more frequently than formula-fed babies. This is fine. Breast milk is digested faster and babies will go hungry sooner than if they were formula fed.
Babies need only breast milk or formula for the first 4 months of life. Do not give your baby juice or food (including cereal) until at least 4 months of age (unless your doctor recommends it).
Juice is not recommended before the age of 1 year.
Do not add cereal to the bottle unless directed to do so by a physician. It does not make babies sleep longer.
Do not put your baby to bed with a bottle of formula. This can lead to cavities and ear infections.
Hold baby upright while feeding. Putting a baby on the floor to drink from a bottle can cause choking or an ear infection.
Do not force your baby to finish the bottle. When your baby is full, he will turn his head and push the nipple out of his mouth or fall asleep.
Not only is your baby hungry, but he may cry because he is bored, lonely or needs a diaper change.
Hold baby close to you and hug him while feeding.
Look at your child and let him look at you while he eats.
Carefully try to burp the baby during feedings and at the end of each feeding.
Vials do not need to be sterilized before use. Wash with warm soapy water and rinse well.
Use cold tap water or baby bottle water to prepare formula, then heat it in warm water instead of microwave. Warm tap water contains more minerals, so it should not be drunk.
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that all breastfed infants start taking iron and vitamin D supplements. Infant vitamins are available at your pharmacy in the vitamin section.
Vitamin D is not found in breast milk. Each 8.3 oz of formula contains 100 IU. Infants under 1 year of age are recommended to take 400 IU per day. If your child receives less than 33 ounces of formula per day, a supplement is recommended. The skin can do this if exposed to sunlight, but no one knows how perfect this is and the risk of too much sun is high. Find out more on our Vitamin D page.
Iron is found in breast milk and full-term babies are born with liver iron stores for up to 4-6 months, but many babies are deficient. Because iron deficiency can cause problems with growth and development, prevention is worth the effort.
Crying baby – up to 3 months
Is this a symptom of your baby?
Baby under 3 months old crying and you don’t know why
Crying is the only symptom
A type of frequent crying called colic is included
If crying is accompanied by an illness or other symptom, please follow this care guide
Causes of unexplained crying
Hungry baby. Most often, babies cry because they are hungry. They stop crying as soon as they start feeding. By the end of feeding they are happy.
Sleepy baby. The second reason babies cry is because they need sleep. They need a parent to make them comfortable. It can also be swaddled on the back. Then they fuss a little and fall asleep.
Too much food. Some babies cry due to bloating from overeating. Unlike gas, too much milk can cause short-term discomfort.
Caffeine. Caffeine is a stimulant that can cause increased crying and trouble falling asleep. Breastfeeding mothers should limit their caffeine intake.
Clothing. When it’s too hot or too cold, the baby may cry. As well as too tight clothing.
Dirty diaper. Stool is very irritating to the skin. If not washed off, it can cause pain and burning.
Colic. Colic is the main cause of intermittent crying in the first months of life. All babies have normal fussy crying every day. When this happens more than 3 hours a day, it is called colic. When they don’t cry, they are happy.
Pain (severe). Painful causes include earache, mouth ulcers or diaper rash. An ulcer at the tip of the penis can also cause pain and crying. These babies cry a lot and are unhappy when they don’t cry. They need to see a doctor for a diagnosis. Fever in this age group is a serious condition until proven otherwise. Shaken Baby Syndrome Is Anxious
Myths about the reasons for crying
Not because of gas. Gas passing through a normal bowel does not cause pain or crying. All crying babies give off a lot of gases. Their stomachs also give off a lot of gas. The gas comes from the swallowed air. Gas is ok. It doesn’t get stuck or hurt. That’s why burping a baby doesn’t help crying. The accusation of gas is a myth.
Not from regurgitation. Regurgitation occurs in half of children and is normal. Does not cause crying or colic. Heartburn medicines do not help crying babies. They also have side effects.
Definition of colic
Heavy crying once or twice a day
Usually comforted by being held and comforted
Behaving normally (happy, contented) between bouts of crying
Child gets enough food and feels good. not hungry

colic
What to know about crying:
Normal crying: All babies cry when they are hungry. In addition, a normal baby has 1 to 2 hours of unexplained crying every day. It is scattered throughout the day. It’s okay if they’re happy and content when they’re not crying.
Colic: Some babies are very difficult to comfort. Some babies also cry a lot (more than 3 hours a day). With normal growth and a normal physical examination, crying is called colic. Remind yourself that colic is caused by your baby’s temperament. It has nothing to do with your upbringing or any illness.
Here are some care tips that should help both types of crying.
Feeding:
For formula-fed babies, feed if more than 2 hours have passed since the last feeding. Breastfeeding children should be fed if more than one and a half hours have passed since the last feeding.
Be careful not to feed your baby every time he cries. Some babies cry due to bloating from overfeeding. Let your baby decide when he has enough milk. (For example, she turns away.) Do not encourage the child to finish what is in the bottle.
Caffeine. If you are breastfeeding, reduce your caffeine intake. Limit coffee, tea, and energy drinks to 2 servings per day. This is 2 cups or 16 oz (480 ml).
Hold and comfort while crying:
Hold and try to soothe your baby when he cries for no reason. Keep your baby steady so he can relax and fall asleep.
Rock your baby in a rocking chair, in a carrycot or while standing. Many babies are best soothed by quick, tiny movements, such as vibrations.
Place on a swing or vibrating chair.
Take a stroll outside or indoors.
Do whatever you think will comfort you. Examples: pacifier, massage or warm bath.
Swaddling your baby in a crying blanket:
Swaddling is the most useful method of calming crying babies. It also prevents your baby from waking up with a startle reflex.
Use a large square blanket and the burrito wrap technique:
Step 1: Keep your arms inside and straight at your sides.
Step 2: Pull the left side of the blanket over your upper body and tuck in.
Step 3: Fold the bottom up with your knees slightly bent. The secure swaddle keeps the legs in a sitting position.
Step 4: Pull right side over upper body and tuck in.
Caution: do not cover the child’s head and do not overheat the child.
Caution: Stop swaddling when your baby shows signs of rolling over. Age limit: 2 months. The startle reflex usually goes away by this age. At 2 months, transfer to a sleeping bag with arms raised.
Read the book (or watch the DVD) The Happiest Child in the House. The author of both products is Dr. Harvey Karp. This is the best resource on how to calm fussy toddlers.
White noise for crying:
Swaddling works even better when combined with low white noise. Examples: CD, vacuum cleaner, fan or other constant sound.
Be careful not to make too much white noise. Cause: Risk of hearing damage.
Do not turn off white noise when the baby is crying.
When your baby isn’t sleeping or crying, keep him unfolded. Turn off white noise. Reason: so she can get used to the normal sounds of your house. For more information, watch Dr. Karp’s DVD.
Falling asleep on their own:
Babies often cry because they need to sleep. If more than 2 hours have passed since the last sleep, this is probably the reason.
You have tried various ways to comfort your child. You recently fed him. Nothing you do seems to help your child relax. So now it’s time to get out of the way.
Swaddle your baby. Lay him on his back in the crib. Play white noise or soothing music. Then exit the room.
Let your baby run around until he falls asleep.
For some overworked babies, this is the only answer.
Encourage nighttime sleep (rather than daytime sleep):
Try not to let your child sleep too much during the daytime.
If your child has been sleeping for 2 hours or more, gently wake him up. Play or feed the child depending on his needs. This will shorten the amount of time your child is awake at night.
Warning: never shake the baby
This can cause bleeding in the brain. Serious brain damage can occur within seconds.
Never leave a child with an immature person or with a bad temper.
If you are upset, put your child in a safe place.
Call or ask a friend or relative for help.
Take a break until you calm down.
What to expect:
Proper technique should help reduce crying. You may need to try a few things before finding the best method.
Crying should start to decrease to about 1 hour a day.
Colic peaks after 4-6 weeks. Colic disappears after 2 months of life. Most often it passes by 3 months.
Call your doctor if:
Your baby begins to look or act abnormal0004
Your child is getting worse
And remember, call your doctor if your child develops any of the Call Your Doctor symptoms.

Political positions
Per McClatchy By July 2018, Yoder voted with Trump 92 percent of the time. [43]
Economics
Taxes
In December 2017, Yoder voted in favor of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. [44]
Childcare
During the tax debate, Yoder focused his efforts on reducing childcare costs as the lead sponsor of the Affordable Childcare for All Act with a Democrat. Stephanie Murphy Florida. [45] Both representatives met privately with a presidential adviser. Ivanka Trump, who also focused her efforts on childcare during October’s tax debate, to propose her legislation for inclusion in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. [46] Although the bill was ultimately not included in the final draft of the tax reform, Yoder fought with members of the House Methods and Resources Committee to retain the childcare tax credit and expense flexibility in the new tax code. [47] [48]
Fiscal Rules
Yoder was responsible for the so-called “push” provision included in the 2014 spending law, which critics claim was written by Citigroup. Yoder denied the claim, arguing that the amendment was based on bipartisan legislation called the Improved Swap Regulation Act, which passed the House of Representatives in 2013 with a vote of 70 Democrats. [49] The Yoder Amendment and the 2013 law repealed section 716 of the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 on derivatives, credit default swaps and other instruments (which some say helped fuel the financial crisis of 2007-08 gg.) uninsured by taxpayers if they have gone bad. [50] [51] Yoder said the move was necessary to prevent small regional and local banks from being completely squeezed out of the swap derivatives market. [52] [53] [54] In a editorial, Kansas City Star wrote that Yoder “played an unfortunate role in raucous government funding. ” [55]
Domestic
Immigration
As Chairman of the Homeland Security Appropriations Committee in 2018, Yoder provided $5 billion to build a new 200-mile border barrier in the Rio Grande Valley region on the southern border, where the cartels currently transport most of the $64 billion worth of drugs and people annually. to the United States. [56] Yoder’s bill also provided funding for 400 new ICE agents, 375 new CBP agents, nearly 4,000 new beds, money for opioid detection, and other border controls. [57] President Donald Trump subsequently tweeted that Yoder “totally and completely approves” of re-election, saying he is “strong on crime, strong on the frontier.” [58] Having lost his 2018 re-election bid, the congressman is likely to play an important role in securing the eventual transition to border wall funding, which could affect the president’s legacy, as well as in determining the congressman’s political future. [59]
Yoder has spoken out against sanctuary cities, which are jurisdictions that do not strictly enforce federal immigration laws, and has put forward legislation to withhold national security funds from those jurisdictions. [60]
Yoder has sponsored the Highly Skilled Immigrant Equity Act, which will remove the cap on the number of employment-based green cards that the Cato Institute estimates that between 230,000 and 2 million Indian citizens remain in the system, forcing them wait for a green card from 50 to 250 years. [61] The text of the bill was successfully incorporated into Yoder’s mandatory National Security Appropriations Bill in July. [62]
Health
Yoder opposed the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare). [63] On May 4, 2017, he voted to repeal the law and pass the American Public Health Act. [64] [65]
In March 2017, ProPublica reported that Yoder said the quality of health care in the country had declined due to the Affordable Care Act, claiming that ProPublica found without evidence and contradicts some evidence. [66]
Research
Yoder advocates for more funding for biomedical research. In 2016, Yoder tried to convince “the most ardent and ardent conservatives in the House of Representatives to accept research” as a financially and morally responsible thing to fund. More than 100 House Republicans, including conservative members such as Dave Brat, signed their letter to leadership House of Representatives demanding a $3 billion increase in revenue. [67] After all, Congress provided the biggest increase in research funding in 12 years. [68] Late that year, he wrote a guest column for Fox News arguing that drug support for diseases and federal funding for medical research could be a problem for holding a divided country together after the 2016 presidential election. [69]
In 2017, Yoder openly opposed the Trump administration’s proposed budget cuts for the National Institutes of Health. [70] Instead, Yoder worked with colleagues on the House Appropriations Committee to secure another $2 billion in NIH funding increases for FY2017. [71]
Technology
In 2017, Yoder voted for a Congressional Revision Act resolution to repeal the Obama-era FCC rule regarding online privacy. Yoder stepped out of the ranks, joining 190 Democrats (and 14 Republicans) when he voted against ISPs tracking users and selling their personal online history. [72]
In 2013, Yoder along with the Democrat. Jared Polis (D-CO) introduced the Email Privacy Act which prevents law enforcement officers from accessing email without a warrant. [73] Congress passed it in 2016 by 419 votes to 0, and in 2017 again unanimously. [74] [75]
Yoder also re-introduced the Kelsey Smith Act, legislation that required cell phone operators to provide location information to authorities in situations involving “risk of death or serious bodily injury.” [76] In May 2016, the bill did not receive the two-thirds majority required. the House of Representatives to pass a procedural hurdle due to privacy concerns. [77]
Disaster Relief
In September 2017, Yoder voted against a bipartisan deal to raise the debt ceiling and also provided relief to communities affected by Hurricane Harvey. [78]
Wednesday
On climate change, Yoder said in 2015: “Global warming is an issue that should be discussed, but most of the proposals require huge American sacrifices that have little or no effect on global temperature, and we must oppose it at every turn.” [79]
Yoder supported President Trump’s departure from the Paris Climate Agreement, saying the cost of the agreement outweighs the benefits. [80]
Social issues

In February 2009, Yoder was pulled over for speeding on a highway. K-10 speed. After passing a field sobriety test, Yoder declined the officer’s request to pull over to the side of the road. Breathalyzer test. The officer cited Yoder for speeding and for refusing to take a breathalyzer test, and then allowed Yoder to drive home. In a plea agreement, the speeding charge was dropped. Yoder pleaded guilty to law enforcement refusing to perform a breath test and paid a $165 fine. [85] [86] [87] [88]

Yoder apologized to his constituents and said in a statement that “it was dark outside with only a few feet of visibility” and said he was in the water for about 10 seconds before getting out. [89] Yoder continued: “I made this decision at that moment partly because there really was no one around to see me,” he said. “I dived in, jumped back in, got dressed and despite that, it still wasn’t the kind of behavior that people expected from their congressman.” The FBI investigated the case, but neither Yoder nor any of his employees were questioned. Then-House Majority Leader Eric Kantor in attendance reprimanded Yoder for the incident. [90]

FDA suspends coronavirus vaccinations for children under 5 | Covid-19
The country’s 18 million children under the age of 5 are the only age group not yet eligible for vaccination.
COVID-19 shots for children under 5 were delayed another month on Friday as U.S. regulators abruptly halted their efforts to expedite review of vaccines Pfizer is testing for children.
The Food and Drug Administration, concerned about the detrimental effects of the micromicron variant on children, took the extraordinary step of persuading Pfizer to apply for approval of the ultra-low dose of the vaccine before it became clear whether the babies needed two injections or three. The agency’s plan could have allowed vaccinations to begin within a few weeks.
But on Friday, the FDA reversed course and said it was clear the agency needed to wait for data on how well the third shot works in the youngest age group. Pfizer said in a statement that data is expected by early April.
The FDA’s head of vaccines, Dr. Peter Marks, said he hoped parents would understand that the agency’s decision was part of its careful scientific review of the evidence presented by Pfizer.
This information “made us realize that we need to see data on the third dose of the ongoing trial in order to make a decision,” Marks told reporters. “We take our responsibility to review these vaccines very seriously because we are parents too.”
The country’s 18 million children under the age of 5 are the only age group not yet eligible for vaccination.
Rachel Perera, mother of an 8-month-old baby from Los Angeles, said that after Friday’s news, “it was like the carpet was kicked out from under me.”
After consulting with her pediatrician, Perera hoped a vaccine would be available this winter or early 2022 at the latest. An education policy researcher and her husband take care of their child to avoid the unpredictability and risks of caring for a child during a pandemic.
But that means she’ll be working on her PhD thesis while her baby is sleeping. On top of that, daily risk calculations, she said, led to “decision fatigue.”
“I’m just tired and wondering when will this end?” Perera said. “It feels like the people around us are living their lives while we are left behind.”
Vaccine experts have been concerned about the sudden race to evaluate Pfizer’s vaccine and are now wondering what parents will do about this exchange.
“I think they made the right decision to be careful and wait for the data on the third dose,” said Dr. Jesse Goodman of Georgetown University, former FDA head of vaccines.
“It was nice to hear that there might be some promising data on two doses, but it turned out to be, ‘Hi everyone, you can expect a vaccine in a few weeks’,” he added. “I think this messaging is very confusing for people.”
This is not the first delay. Pfizer originally expected to find out by the end of December whether ultra-low doses worked for children under 5 years of age, but faced disappointing setbacks.
Preliminary results of the study indicated that two injections were safe and strong enough to provide good protection to children 6 months of age and older. But once the babies reached preschool age — 2 to 4 years old — two doses weren’t protective enough, prompting a third to be added to the study.
So it was a surprise when a few weeks ago the FDA called on Pfizer and its partner BioNTech to apply. Next week, the agency’s independent scientific consultants were scheduled to publicly discuss whether two shots could be started on babies before there was evidence that a third would give them the extra protection they needed – a highly unusual move.
On Friday, the FDA abruptly canceled this meeting, promising to hold it as soon as Pfizer provides evidence of a third dose. Even if Pfizer applies by early April, it will take several weeks for the FDA and other health authorities to review and publicly verify the data.
Earlier this week, the FDA’s Marks promised the agency would not cut corners, but also noted how quickly the pandemic is changing. Until Thanksgiving, no one had heard of omicrons; by last month, pediatric cases of COVID-19 infectionreached an all-time high and now the number of cases is dropping fast as the last mutant is burned.
How long to wait for new vaccine data and how long it takes is a difficult balance for the FDA. He is caught between the need to act more proactively on a rapidly changing virus and the risk that acting too hastily could deter families already on the verge of having their children vaccinated.
Pfizer aims to give children 6 months of age and older vaccines containing one-tenth the adult dose—two shots three weeks apart, followed by a third shot at least two months later.
This is a lower dose than children aged 5 to 11 receive, i.e. one third of the adult dose.
Vaccination rates among children were lower than in other age groups. Only 22% of children aged 5 to 11 and just over half of children aged 12 to 17 were fully vaccinated in the past week, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics.

Active Leadership Academy
Empower Your Child To
Fulfill Their Dreams
At Active Leadership Academy, we help children create their own path to success by developing the real world skills and character traits that matter most.
Real World Skills
Tailored Learning
Growing Character
Is Your Child’s Education Setting Them Up For Success?
Young people need to learn the right things to help them fulfill their dreams. At Active Leadership Academy, our mission is to empower ages 5-13 students to live meaningful lives by providing an environment where they discover their unique strengths, learn real-world skills, and grow in good character. Children get one shot at their education, so they need to learn what matters most.
3 Ways Learning Is Different
It’s Student Centered
We empower kids to own their learning. No homework here. Instead, we help students set goals, manage their time, and work at their own pace on core subjects, while engaging in hands-on projects in science, art, and technology. This is authentic learning, not focused on passing tests or memorizing facts.
Focused On The Real World
We believe students learn by doing. Whether it’s launching a startup business, playing an instrument, or programming a robot in their summer apprenceship, our students are building real world skills every day, paving the way for them to succeed in the future.
Guided, Not Taught
Learning should reflect the unique personality and interests of the learner. Instead of boring lectures, our Guides lead small groups, helping students set goals and discover their own learning path. With small groups, caring adults, and lots of freedom, kids are empowered to learn.
Why We Started A School
We always hoped our kids’ education would set them up for their life’s journey equipping them with real-world skills and good values.
Our goal was for them to have a learning experience that was inspiring and relevant. We hoped they’d be fully equipped with the real-world skills and good character they’d need to pursue a meaningful life.
We don’t see that happening in the traditional school model.
We believe there is a better way to do school.
That’s why we started Active Leadership Academy for our own children in 2020.
Our dream was to create an environment where meaningful skills are taught through real-world scenarios. Where good character gets rewarded, and where developing a problem-solving mindset is the goal instead of an afterthought. Where children are taught how to think, not what to think.
After decades of teaching discipline, respect, and confidence through our martial arts schools, after-school sports, leadership, and summer camp programs; this was a natural extension in our skillset of changing lives.
We’ve partnered with Acton Academy, a leading micro-school model, and are proud to bring this unique school to our community.
If you want to see our school in action, please book a tour. We look forward to meeting you!
-The Molley Family
What We Focus On
It’s About People
The quality of your relationships determines the quality of your life. So we focus on inspiring students to develop real friendships, a sense of personal accountability, and standing strong in their convictions even as you respect others around you.
Character Is Destiny
Character really matters. The right skillset combined with character is a recipe for long-term success. Skills without character are a recipe for disaster. That’s why we believe in developing meaningful skills and character.
Solve Big Problems
Don’t think small. There are countless big problems in the world, and we need people of vision and courage willing to tackle them. We encourage big dreams and big vision and teach the skills to accomplish those dreams.
Get Back Up
Be gritty. Everybody fails sometimes, but the determined person who gets back up and tries again (and again) is the person who succeeds in their ambitions.
It’s OK to fall. Get back up and try again.
We Have What It Takes
We’re better together. We appreciate the perspective of others and realize that we are stronger as a team and community. We teach students to lead by listening and loving our neighbors so that now and forever, they can work together with the person beside them.

Our Active Learning Model
We believe there are 3 critical “C’s” that help learners build the knowledge, character, and skill they need to be their best, and we structure everything we do to maximize them.
Core Skills
Core skills means mastering foundational subjects (like reading and math) at your own pace. Instead of emphasizing standardized testing or grades, we focus on cultivating a love of learning through hands-on subject work (including using adaptive software) and small group work. It’s learning how to learn, a vital skill for the rest of life.
Collaboration
Collaboration means developing socially and emotionally, through work and play,
within age groups and across ages. Students are empowered to solve problems, set goals, share ideas in group settings, work as a team, meet individual and group deadlines, and both serve and lead. Learners set themselves up for successful collaboration in the future.
Creating
Creating means taking the time to make stuff with our hands. We focus on projects
leading to tangible results, without worrying about perfection. Building something is a journey of discovery, where you can learn as much from your failures as you can from successes. It’s process over results, as students learn to build things that matter.
The Right Environment For
Every Stage Of Learning
Learning is a journey, and each of our four Learning Communities provide an environment where our learners can uncover their unique strengths, develop real world skills, and grow their individual character.

They spend time focused not just on core academics, but also on necessary life skills such as communication, entrepreneurship, survival, organization, independent thinking, emotion regulation, accountability and compassion. Loving this opportunity my children have been blessed with!
Jessica Bell Wanko
I can’t say enough about Active Leadership Academy. My daughter is thriving! Its a fun, engaging and interactive learning environment that embraces different personalities and leadership abilities. She is learning core academics, but she is also learning how to be a independent thinker, problem solver and life skills. Which I feel is lacking in traditional school. I absolutely love the school and we are excited to continue to grow with ALA! Signed: One happy parent!!!

TESTIMONIALS
Real Family Reviews
TEA is by far the most impressive daycare I have ever been to. We waited a year to get in and it was worth the wait! They have structured activities and curriculum that push our toddler to grow everyday. We had a nanny prior to enrolling her and as soon as she went in, there was an explosion of words she started using. I love that everything is organic that they serve, they have Spanish and music and go outside everyday. The teachers are the sweetest and I can tell there is lot of love because she is always so happy to see them. I also love all the art projects and the daily/weekly/monthly newsletters and updates. They are very accommodating to whatever people’s special needs are and don’t act put out by special requests. Seriously BEST PLACE EVER!
April J.
I cannot speak highly enough of TEA! …The teachers and the school administrators are clearly 200% committed to the kids. Both of our children attended (ages 1 through 5), and at every age group and classroom, the teachers were attuned to the kids’ individual personalities and needs, and truly cared about them. One of our children needed some extra guidance and coaching, and the teachers and schools staff went above and beyond to give him what he needed, including extra meetings and communications with us. I truly felt like the teachers/staff were my partner and that we were on the same team. I can’t imagine a better preschool experience for my kids.
Michelle M.
We are so thankful for TEA! What an amazing environment. My daughter is learning so much, it’s so much more than the standard childcare options. They have a pretty structured day, with lessons and play. They also serve organic meals and cater to her vegetarian needs. Every singe day that I pick her up her teachers have an update about her and her development. I genuinely feel like the staff at TEA cares not just about my child but about our family as well. We are so lucky to have them.
Danielle H.
Having witnessed first hand, the growth in quality of the curriculum and staff, as well as the emotional and academic growth in our child, I have nothing but gratitude and praise for The Exploration Academy. From the catered organic snacks and meals to the diversity in education, be it from a digital smart board, outdoor play/park time, gymnastics at the local Tae Kwon Do center, endless art and music projects, etc., to the personalized weekly email updates, I completely trust…[the] staff to provide our child an enriching and nurturing environment.

Advocates For Education That Bring Passion To Early Learning
Our Founder and Owner, Pamela Piekarski, started in early education as a Kindergarten teacher in 1978. Over the years she realized that kindergarten was late for introducing early-learning skills to children and that they would have much better opportunities in life if they were taught necessary concepts at an earlier age. With an owner who has been in the childcare industry for 40 years and teachers who all have education in developmentally appropriate practices, we are stalwart advocates for education.
Family-Owned and Operated, We Support the Needs of Our Community
Finally in 1985, after not being able to find quality early learning for her 3 daughters who were under 5, she opened her first childcare center in Kansas City, MO. As a parent, Ms. Pamela knew all children deserve the best curriculum so they are able to enter public school ready to read. After researching different curriculums, she saw that the Montessori style of teaching children to read created the best learning opportunity for each child. Using the knowledge that Ms. Pamela gained, we promote the joy of active learning while respecting that everyone’s learning process is different.
Cutting Edge Early Education Techniques Make The Difference
In addition to earning her BA in Education, our founder was trained in the Montessori method for children from birth to 6 years. This allows Ms. Pamela to see the continuity of how a child learns from inception. Through her experiences living in South America and visiting other countries, she truly understands how culture impacts the child’s learning. She believes children deserve every advantage during this crucial time of learning. Her engaging style, hands-on approach, and ability to engage all learners have made her a favorite among the teachers and parents she works with.
Building Self-Esteem And Enhancing Emotional Intelligence
Our primary goal is to equip your child for life, which includes rewarding peer interactions. We view young children as individuals who are curious about their world and have the powerful potential to learn from all that surrounds them. Our teaching strategies include socio-emotional skills and support your child in establishing lasting emotional intelligence.
Our Teachers Empower, Reassure, and Offer Gentle Guidance To Every Child
Our teachers are experts in the field of early education, and their vocation is to touch the heart of each child they work with. Whether your child needs a hug, reassurance, or gentle guidance and redirection, a team member is always nearby.
Children Learn Through Collaborative Play And Experimentation
Our company uses the Highscope Curriculum and teaching
method, which is play-based, child-centered, and grounded in research. The HighScope Curriculum promotes active learning, not just sitting and listening. Children explore, interact, and exercise their imaginations as they learn about the world they live in.
Music, Yoga and Art Enrichments Encourage Creative Expression
Your little one’s imagination and their creative side will be encouraged to flourish thanks to our roster of enriching activities such as music, yoga and art. From singing songs to learning yoga poses, and trying out different instruments, we offer no shortage of pastimes to support a young learners’ left-brain development.
We Keep You Up-To-Date With Regular Feedback
Our parent communication method is through COR Advantage. This is both an assessment tool using regular anecdotal notes and our way of keeping you updated about your little one’s learning journey via photos, messages, and real-time updates about their day. The tri-annual assessment will include your child’s developmental milestones and achievements.
Healthy, Organic Meals, and Snacks To Fuel Young Learners All Day Long
We believe in delivering the tastiest foods possible without compromising on quality! Breakfast, lunch, and snacks are made entirely from organic, fresh ingredients, keeping kids happy and energetic. We also provide gluten-free options and are a nut and peanut-free environment, and all items served are home-cooked and free from preservatives or dyes.
Daily Gratitude Practices For Lasting Happiness and A Positive Mindset
We believe in teaching children to be thankful for what they have and appreciative of all the components that make up their daily lives. Gratitude is a part of our programming; kids become aware of how lucky they are to have amazing families, friends, and peers. We also say grace before every meal as a means of showing appreciation towards the healthy, nutritious food that fuels us.
Eco-Healthy Child Care® Certified So That Toxic Substances Are Of No Concern
We adhere to a strict list of 30 environmentally-healthy practices, such as using non-toxic cleaning supplies, maintaining positive air quality, conducting water testing, avoiding toys made of PVC, using non-harmful art supplies, and more. This certification allows parents to rest easy, knowing that preventable environmental health hazards are of no concern to their children while under our care.
Our Program – Academy of the Sacred Heart
The key to successful learning is the student-teacher relationship, and our class sizes allow for active, student-centered lessons.
We strive to help children adopt a growth mindset, which promotes a love of learning and the resiliency necessary to achieve success in all areas of life. Academy students grow in their ability to think creatively, critically and reflectively.
Most importantly, educating both the hearts and the minds of children is a hallmark of Sacred Heart education, whose philosophy is expressed in the Five Goals of Sacred Heart Education:
A personal and active faith in god
A deep respect for intellectual values
A social awareness which impels to action
The building of community as a Christian value
Personal growth in an atmosphere of wise freedom
PRIMARY SCHOOL (PK3–K)
The Beginning of an Educational Journey
The transition from home life to school life is an important milestone in a child’s early development. At the Academy, love and care for each student helps to ensure a smooth transition.
Our Little Acorns (Pre-K3) program for 3-year-olds focuses on readiness skills through stories, art, games and activities. Children practice independence, patience, sharing and listening – the building blocks for a lifetime of success.
Our Pre-Primary (Pre-K) for 4-year-olds is filled with discovery and the joys of learning. Children engage in pre-reading, writing and math activities with plenty of art, music and creative play. “Traveling” to other parts of the world, cooking, exploring science, and taking French lessons enhance their early learning experiences.
These half-day programs offer a Stay and Play option, making a full day possible.
Reading, phonics, math, religion and science take center stage in our full-day Primary (kindergarten) program. Learning takes place beyond the classroom, too; students grow vegetables and fruits in the Primary garden, and introductory lessons about our Catholic faith are presented in the “Catechesis of the Good Shepherd” atrium.
LOWER SCHOOL (1st–4th)
Years of Significant Growth
In Grades 1-4 our students continue their mastery of basic skills, develop strong writing skills, and form good study habits.
Love of reading is encouraged with different genres of literature and visits to Cribbin Hall library.
Inquiry-based science instruction aligned with NGSS (Next Generation Science Standards) is taught by a specialized teacher in the Lower School lab.
Laptops and tablets are used to support learning.
French (PK-4) and Spanish (3-4) are an important part of the curriculum.
Art, Computer and Music classes spark students’ imaginations.
Daily Physical Education takes place in spacious indoor and outdoor facilities.
MIDDLE SCHOOL (5th–8th)
Increased Independence and Responsibility
Grades 5-8 are pivotal in a young person’s development. Dedicated and accomplished faculty, diverse instructional strategies, and opportunities for growth are integral to student success.
Our core curriculum is implemented through a block schedule.
For grades 6, 7 and 8, a unique model of single-gender education within a coed environment maximizes the learning strengths of both boys and girls.
1:1 laptop program enhances learning.
Two science labs facilitate STEM learning.
Course electives in the spring trimester allow 5th–8th grade students to explore individual interests.
Character formation programs instill responsibility, generosity and compassion, which are integral to the mission of Sacred Heart education. Academy graduates are recognized for being courageous and confident leaders.
Character Formation
Equally important as the academic growth of our students is a strong emphasis on character formation. Interwoven within our school day are the concepts and strategies for this character development. Each day time is set aside to develop these “habits of the heart.”
In small grade level and homeroom groupings, students begin to develop an awareness of self and others, which leads to mutual respect and acceptance. Discussions, personal reflection, role-playing, “what if” situations and prayer are the springboards for the development of these characteristics that are hallmarks of children of the Sacred Heart.
One of our primary emphases is to instill in students a sense of responsibility: responsibility for both their learning and their personal choices. Included in this formation is the development of skills related to self-discipline and courtesy.
A second emphasis is to educate to a spirit of generosity: generosity of time, talent and resources. The gift of one’s self will lead to a deeper understanding of God’s love for each of us. Students are made aware of both the immediate needs around them and future needs.
Beginning with the youngest, students are given opportunities to explore their own gifts, talents and potential. Students discover and begin to gain a broader understanding of their peers. This developing consciousness leads them to see value in what each has to offer the other and leads them to see beyond themselves.
All students are challenged to participate in a variety of on- and off-campus experiences that allow them to encounter the issues that cause inequity in our world. This often puts names and faces to those in need and raises awareness of the plight of others. This knowledge affirms our life mission: to bring Christ to the world and the world to Christ.
The development of these character traits enables students to assume roles of leadership at every age. As confident and self aware individuals, students can then encourage each other to make right choices and be their best selves. The development of leadership skills allows students to see that they can be agents of change.
This emphasis on character formation along with a rigorous academic curriculum develops confident, informed, and capable students who are builders of God’s kingdom.
Single Gender Classes (Grades 6–8)
Educational research points to the success of single gender education. The Academy has all-girls and all-boys classes in grades 6, 7 and 8.
Why single gender?
Research indicates differences in the structure of the male and female brain, which generates differences in the way boys and girls learn. Our commitment to gender-specific classrooms is based on our desire to better accommodate those learning differences. While the curriculum is generally the same, instructional strategies, choices of activities to support instruction, as well as assessment options are different and varied.
The classroom environment is structured to accommodate gender preferences. The level of participation is heightened in both groups while the level of distractibility is lessened. Individuals display greater confidence and behavior is noticeably improved.
The gender-specific homerooms have a distinctly positive identity!
International Language
Primary and Lower School students are introduced to French. This curriculum includes introductory vocabulary and sentence structure; students begin to formulate sentences to speak and respond in French during class.
Additionally, students in Third and Fourth Class take Spanish. Consistent with the French curriculum, students learn basic vocabulary skills and acquire the ability to articulate fundamental phrases in question-and-answer form.
Reading elementary passages, mastering basic grammar concepts and tenses, writing simple sentences and paragraphs, and comprehending the spoken word in Fifth Class lead to the expansion and reinforcement of grammar concepts through reading, writing, listening and speaking in Sixth and Seventh Class.
In their final year at the Academy, students are expected to fully participate in their chosen classes. Reading passages, refining paragraph writing skills and expanding conversation in that language extends learning to a more complex and spontaneous level.
Most Academy graduates are able to enroll in advanced international language courses in high school.
Leadership Development
Numerous opportunities and experiences are offered to develop leadership skills inside and outside the classroom. Whether participating in a group project in science, literature or math, being a member of a sports team, or launching an innovative student idea, positive leadership is encouraged and fostered. Formal school organizations provide members a venue for leading and serving the school community in various projects and activities.
Middle School students help promote Advent and Lenten projects such as Adopt-a-Family and Christmas Basket distribution, as well as specific collections which support the identified needs of the community. The commitment of the Middle School students and the proceeds of their efforts benefit people in our local and global communities.
Students at all grade levels participate in these service learning experiences guided by the leadership of Middle School Students. Middle School students organize school spirit activities, coordinate holiday parties, participate in organizing Mission Day, distribute Christmas Baskets, and act as liaisons in expressing the student body’s desires and concerns so that new initiatives can be explored and implemented.
Community Service
To be aware of the needs of others and to act on that understanding is integral to Sacred Heart education. From the youngest to the oldest, children at the Academy are encouraged to make a difference in the lives of those in need in both our local and global communities. This desire to create a better world is at the heart of our mission.
Throughout the year, all students participate in service projects to aid organizations that serve those marginalized in our communities. Fifth through Eighth Class students have opportunities to work off-campus with a various service organizations (currently, these experiences have been paused due to the COVID-19 pandemic). There are three components to service learning: research, relationship and impact. Understanding the needs of others, engaging in a reciprocal relationship and reflecting on the impact of service deepens the commitment to serve.
Classroom Connections
Classroom Connections provides a smaller, more personal learning environment that can better accommodate the individual needs of students and help each one realize their unique potential. Our desire is to identify and nurture strengths and to help each student discover the genius within him or herself.

Due to COVID 19 we have a few new protocols and routines in place:
Drop-off and pick-up procedure, we no longer are allowed to have parents enter the room without a temperature screening first. Please park in the roundabout and a staff will meet you outside of the preschool. We then will ask you a series of COVID-19 questions and take your child’s temperature. Finally we will escort your child to the classroom. Thank you in advance for your patience with us as this is a new process for all.
Pick up will also be done curbside. At 12:00 pm we will walk the students to the roundabout, then walk them to each individual car and release them to you, to buckle them up. Thank you in advance for your patience with us as this is a new process for all.
One of our best defenses is washing our hands and we will be doing it a lot; when they come in, before and after eating, before and after all transitions, before and after playing in centers. This takes a lot of time out of the day and makes for chapped little hands, if you would like to send lotion for your child we would be happy to help them put it on after washing or when needed.
Please do not bring toys from home, we want to avoid any cross-contamination that may happen in the process.
Masks are not mandatory, but if you would like your child to wear one we will do our best to keep it on them.

Declaration of support for the project Tomsk Academy of Active Longevity
In his Address to the Federal Assembly in 2018, the President of the country outlined the need to create decent conditions for citizens of the older generation for active and healthy longevity. In the modern sense, active longevity is not only giving up bad habits and taking care of your health, but also participating in the public life of the city and region, the opportunity to gain new knowledge and be creatively realized.
The Regional Council of Veterans with the participation of the universities of Tomsk and the administration of the region has developed a project called “Tomsk Academy of Active Longevity”. The project will allow the implementation of a comprehensive program to improve the quality and life expectancy of the older age group in the Tomsk Region.
Tomsk Academy of Active Longevity is a single regional platform for the implementation of a variety of educational, fitness and leisure activities for the older generation. It is important that as many residents of the region as possible learn about active longevity and methods of maintaining it, opportunities for free classes in sports sections, psychological and language classes, various trainings and courses.
There are many interesting and useful initiatives for pensioners in the Tomsk Region, which are implemented by authorities, educational institutions, social services, public and commercial organizations. Only as a result of interaction, information exchange and coordination of activities, it is possible to increase the efficiency of work to improve the quality and increase the life expectancy of the elderly.

Art training for children and how drawing will help them in their adult life
At the heart of all the objects that surround us is a drawing created by the hand of an artist: furniture, cars, clothes, household appliances, equipment, residential buildings … Many modern professions are not possible without the ability to draw “by hand”. Drawing is not only the foundation of many future prestigious professions. It has a direct impact on the development of personality, mental abilities and artistic taste. Historical observations of the lives of many prominent and successful people confirm that drawing in childhood occupied one of the leading places in their upbringing and education. If you miss and do not have time to lay down a useful skill in childhood, you will not develop it when you need it in life. Most children love to draw, and this is better than other activities to develop fine motor skills. And it is associated with memory, vision and the nervous system and, due to the proximity of the motor and speech centers in the brain, with speech. Drawing strengthens the child’s hand and therefore it must necessarily precede the development of writing. “The mind of a child is at the tips of his fingers,” said the great Soviet teacher V.A. Sukhomlinsky. Experienced teachers note that children who draw a lot are more fully prepared for school, have better speech and imaginative thinking, attention and memory. When drawing, the ability to concentrate on one goal in one’s activity and bring the work to its logical conclusion is developed. Such guys have a more developed visual perception and they process information faster, which means they will be able to more effectively build and predict their lives. Drawing, fine arts is a complete experiment, and by definition there can be no mistakes in it. The young artist has a creative approach to business, develops his creativity, learns the diversity and beauty of the world. And in life, the child ceases to be afraid of the new, to be afraid of making mistakes. He tries, acts, analyzes the results and goes forward again – in such conditions he becomes more successful. Programs for the artistic and aesthetic development of children at the Academy are handled by a specialized unit – Art Training and Design Center .

Modern computer courses for children and adults
Digital literacy in the modern world is an integral part of the life of even the smallest member of society. Information technologies surround us everywhere – at home and at a party, on vacation and at work, in the store and in the theater, at the post office and in the bank. There is a desktop computer, laptop or tablet in almost every home. We carry a small computer in our pocket – our smartphone. It becomes obvious that computer skills are necessary for any person at any age, just as he needs reading skills to start a full life. The computer is our friend and assistant, support and support, adviser and teacher. The pace of life is accelerating and information technology helps us keep up with the times. The diversity of applications of digital technologies gives rise to an increasing number of solutions in different areas of life. There is probably no such specialist who would not need to have digital skills for employment and normal work. And we are not talking about specialists in the IT industry, but about people of any profession. Computer literacy is a meta-subject skill, and it doesn’t matter who you work as, a cook or a programmer, a train driver or a nurse, and it doesn’t matter how old you are – a schoolboy or a pensioner, a student or a professional. Such a digital boom has formed a whole cluster in the global economy – the IT industry, which supports and develops the entire range of digital products and generates considerable income. This area of promising employment and a successful career and now a professional computer education is the dream of many young people. It is a misconception that IT specialists, where computer technology is the main means of production, are only engineers. The IT-direction is as diverse as our whole life is diverse. There are designers, and managers, and lawyers, and accountants, and bloggers, and fashion designers, and sculptors, etc. In a word, answering the question “Where to go?”, The obvious answer arises “Go to IT!” Computer technology for children and adults is one of the oldest educational areas in the Computer Science Training Center Academy of Additional Professional Education. Here everyone will find their own educational route in IT: eliminate gaps in computer literacy, systematize existing knowledge, choose an IT profession, prepare for admission, gain new professional skills and be able to change their lives. This is an opportunity for unlimited self-education and professional growth for all ages and professions.

Learning foreign languages
Knowledge of a foreign language in today’s multicultural world has become not just a useful skill, but a vital necessity. There are both purely practical arguments in favor of learning foreign languages, as well as more personal ones related to self-development and hobbies. It is impossible to imagine a good education without foreign languages. This gives access to more information, the ability to communicate with students, colleagues and experts from other countries. In almost any specialty, in order to maintain and improve the level of your professional competencies, you need to constantly replenish your knowledge base, and knowledge has no boundaries! Knowledge of a foreign language today is a serious advantage in employment. This increases the chances of finding a good well-paid job and more successful career advancement both in Russia and abroad. More than 50% of all companies, when hiring, give preference to candidates who speak English. And the more languages you know, the more attractive your resume will be for the employer. In addition, a person who speaks several languages opens a wide road to the world of foreign literature, culture, art, travel and new discoveries. Scientists claim that language classes actively contribute to the development of brain activity. A person thinks faster, trains his memory and attention due to the active development of neural connections. Scientific research confirms that bilingual people can stay focused on a task 20% longer than people who only speak their native language. Learning a language enriches the ability to analyze and perceive the surrounding world, makes the inner world of a person richer and brighter. Experts recommend starting learning a foreign language at a very early age, when the brain of a young person has maximum plasticity and receptivity, and the foundations for successful and effective learning in the future are easily laid. Therefore, caring parents understand the importance and significance of a foreign language in the life of a child and try to help him in this matter as much as possible. Foreign language programs at the Academy are handled by a specialized unit – Association of Language Schools .

Additional training in all school subjects, the Unified State Examination and the OGE
The main activity and daily duty of every student is studying, acquiring new knowledge necessary for subsequent professional training at a college or university. Every parent wants their child to master the school curriculum easily and with interest, to do everything and get good grades, and the years of schooling themselves were emotionally rich and intellectually rich. The additional developmental programs of the Academy are of great help in achieving the ultimate goal of getting a school education. Studying under such programs, some students eliminate the accumulated gaps in school knowledge, others seek to increase the overall average score in the Certificate for the 9th grade (for guaranteed admission to college), and high school students undergo in-depth training in specialized subjects, which are decisive when entering a university of your dreams. Starting from the 8th grade, one of the main topics of discussion at the family council is questions about the future of the child: what class to limit education at school, what profession to choose, where to get vocational education and is there a great market demand for the chosen specialty? At this moment, the student can receive invaluable help from participation in numerous career guidance events of the Academy, and parents – during an interview with a psychologist after processing the results of a child’s computer diagnostics. In recent years, the country has shown the desire of young people to acquire a profession at an earlier age – a significant part of 9th and 11th grade graduates reoriented from higher education to secondary specialized education. In September 2020, there were already more than 50% of such schoolchildren in St. Petersburg. The Ministry of Education, with the support of the Federation Council, plans to shorten the term of college education from 4 to 2 years in the near future and is preparing to introduce a new level of education – “Professionalism”. Then future graduates of the 9th grade will be able to get something in between general education and secondary vocational education in many specialties, which will allow them to start independent work by the age of 18 and begin to arrange their personal lives. Additional programs run by a specialized division at the Academy – Center for Pre-university Training and Career Guidance , help children quickly respond to changes in the educational situation in the country, educational problems that have arisen, implement individual routes to achieve the ultimate goals of school education, and help them choose rational options for obtaining professional education.

Vocational training and additional professional education
Advanced training, professional retraining and vocational training in the modern world are the main ways to implement continuous education, which predetermines the growth of quality characteristics and volume of products.
Vocational training allows graduates of the 9th grade and high school students, even without interrupting their studies at a general education school, to obtain working professions or positions of employees that are in demand on the labor market. Some working professions can be obtained even after the end of the 8th grade. Training ends with the issuance of a Certificate of Profession with the assignment of a qualification rank (category), information about which is entered in the Federal Register of Information on Education and (or) Qualification Documents.
“Choose a job you love and you won’t have to work a day in your life.”
Confucius, ancient thinker, professional teacher and founder of the first university in China
The acquired working profession and accumulated work experience allow in the future to make a more informed choice of specialty and the next stage of education – university or college. Advanced training allows established specialists to improve their professional knowledge, skills and master new labor competencies within the existing qualifications necessary for the high-quality performance of their duties. Professional development programs are also available for students of colleges and universities in the field they study and plan to work in. But unlike specialists, they will receive a certificate of advanced training simultaneously with the completion of their basic professional education. Professional retraining is in demand by specialists who want to master labor competencies to perform a new type of professional activity, acquire a new qualification. Such programs are developed taking into account professional standards and qualification requirements for the knowledge and skills necessary to perform the relevant job duties. Programs of additional professional education for specialists in various fields of production activity and improvement of managerial decision-making, vocational training of workers / employees are carried out by the Intersectoral Institute for Advanced Studies (MIPC) – a specialized structural educational unit of the Academy. Kraynikova Irina Grigorievna – vice-rector of the MIPK. Graduated from the Murmansk State Pedagogical University, held pedagogical and managerial administrative positions in institutions of additional education for children and adults, was responsible for the development of educational programs and the quality of the educational process. Has been working at the Academy since 2017.
The list of MIPK programs can be found on the website kvalifik.ru , including those included in the Register of orders for advanced training programs for managers and teachers of state educational institutions under the jurisdiction of the Committee on Education and administrations of districts of St. Petersburg .
Schoolchildren can get a driver’s license in advance
With the growing welfare of the population, an increasing number of citizens acquire cars for personal use – they become an integral part of the life of a modern person. Graduates of schools, who all the time studied within walking distance from home, now, as students, will have to take a long time to get by public transport from sleeping areas to a university or college. Caring parents, after they have supported the child’s choice of an educational institution away from home, a new problem arises – the acquisition of some kind of personal transport for him or his family. One of the possible options for partial replacement of public transport (if you have a driver’s license) can be car sharing – short-term car rental with per-minute billing, which is actively developing in St. Petersburg. Therefore, for comfortable movement around the city and country trips, many people are concerned about the timely receipt of driver’s licenses (rights), which are issued for 10 years.
From the world of statistics.
In 2020, 1.27 million citizens received driver’s licenses, including 1.02 million Russians who passed category B driving licenses.
A total of 7.74 mln. 40% of students passed the playground, 25% passed the city, compared to 28.3% in 2019.
Because of the pandemic, driving schools did not work, their number decreased by 353 organizations, and the number of Russians who received the rights decreased by 5%.
Today’s teenagers, especially in families where parents have cars, get acquainted with the Rules of the Road with interest and even before they reach the age of eighteen they want to get a license. Students who are at least 16 years of age learning to drive a vehicle of categories “B” are allowed to practice driving on the roads, and from October 2021, amendments related to the new regulations for the exam in the traffic police, according to which they independently drive technical means ( TC) such teenagers will be able to, provided that there is a driver-mentor nearby. The procedure for conducting a practical exam has also changed – now instead of its two separate stages in the form of a “site” and a “city” there will be only one – immediately in real road conditions. Initial vehicle driving skills training will still be held in closed areas or autodromes, where basic driving skills are formed, including the performance of specially controlled exercises: “slide”, “courtyard”, “garage”, “snake” and “parallel parking” “. Now there will be no separate part of the exam at the circuit, but all the skills tested will be included in the practical exam; there will be an additional opportunity to teach driving on motorways. A specialized division, Driving School DPO , is engaged in studying the Rules of the Road and driving a car, preparing for passing an exam at the traffic police and obtaining a driver’s license at the Academy.

Many parents do not understand why their child is not particularly attracted to studying at school, and at the same time he attends classes with enthusiasm in various centers of additional education? Why doesn’t he show a desire to complete his school assignments and get more A’s?
“Everyone has their own path, and who the child will be in a few years, which of the Goals he can successfully achieve – determine your actions NOW.”
The answer to this question for parents is given in the next article, taking into account more than 70 years of experience of our organization with children of school age.
The development of society imperceptibly led to the fact that traditional approaches to education and training cease to work. The child changes along with the surrounding reality and the pedagogical methods of involving him in learning that have been tested for many decades cease to act on him, and the school has not proposed a new approach to organizing the involvement of the child in the educational process.
This function of involving the child should and must now be assumed by the system of additional education – to provide children with the opportunity, through various and interesting activities for them, to improve the quality of their education, to encourage children to study at school. Parents should help the child to form a triad as early as possible: interest-hobbies-cognition , which allows them to “advance” their children. Without motivating children in the area of their individual interests, development cannot be ensured today. Studying additional education programs, the child uses the knowledge gained at school lessons, and, in case of their insufficiency, proceeds to self-development, which outwardly parents perceive as his passion.

How Life Essentials is different
Questions? Answers.
Explore some of the most frequently asked questions from parents of 3-year-olds.
Q.
What if my child gets sick?
A.
We’ll call you or a designated adult from your Emergency Information Form so that your child can be picked up as soon as possible from the Academy. While waiting to be picked up, your child will rest quietly, away from other children.
Q.
What policies are Academies required to have in place to address safety?
A.
Our facilities and outdoor play areas are required to have secure entries and exits that are maintained by an electronic entry system. Only individuals authorized by you are allowed to pick up your child from the Academy. All employees are required to have undergone background checks prior to employment.
Q.
Do I need to pack a lunch?
A.
No. We provide an assortment of healthy, age-appropriate meals and snacks for the children to eat each day.
Q.
What if my child has allergies?
A.
Due to the high number of children with peanut allergies, we do not serve peanut products. If your child has a specific allergy, please list them on our dietary restriction letter so that we can make appropriate food substitutions.
Q.
What are teacher qualifications?
A.
All Kiddie Academy teachers must meet or exceed the state requirements for child care providers and are required to receive ongoing professional training annually. We also require background checks through local, county, state and/or federal agencies prior to employment.
Q.
What is your discipline policy?
A.
We do not use physical or verbal punishment under any circumstances. We use positive guidance and re-direction to acknowledge children’s feelings and emotions and provide them with social scripts, problem-solving techniques, self-calming activities and choices and activities geared toward their interests.
Q.
What will my child be doing?
A.
At this age, children are naturally inquisitive and take pride in doing things on their own. Our teachers encourage your preschooler to take advantage of our center-based learning environment to explore and progress at their own pace. Your child will work on social/emotional development, motor skills and will be introduced to language arts, mathematics and science.
Q.
Can I drop in to observe?
A.
Due to the concerns around COVID-19, we are unable to allow drop-in observation by parents or family members. We hope to reverse this rule as soon as it becomes safe.
Q.
Do you have parent-teacher conferences?
A.
Yes. We schedule family/teacher conferences each year to discuss your child’s progress, but you can request a conference with the Director at any time.
Q.
Do you take the children outdoors?
A.
Yes, weather permitting, we take children outside daily. Children should be dressed appropriately for playing on our playground or taking group walks.
Q.
How do you use technology in learning?
A.
Kiddie Academy teachers use technology as learning tools and a means of communication. We feel it’s important to teach children how to use devices they will encounter in school, so they are given opportunities to use them for educational play and research. The use of televisions or computers for passive viewing is not part of Kiddie Academy’s curriculum.
Q.
Does you have cameras in the classroom?
A.
Many, but not all, Kiddie Academy locations have classroom cameras that parents can access via mobile or desktop apps. For the most accurate information on classroom cameras, contact your Academy directly to learn about camera availability and policies.
Q.
What is Kiddie Academy doing to prevent the spread of the coronavirus?
A.
Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, Kiddie Academy already followed strict practices for health and cleaning that met or exceeded state and local standards. Since the coronavirus outbreak, we have implemented Health Essentials, a set of enhanced protocols based on Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommendations for social distancing, disinfection, wellness education and symptom monitoring. The goal of Health Essentials is to uphold the highest level of health precautions and cleanliness for proper child care delivery.

Early Learning | dcps
Washington, DC has a long history as a leader in providing early childhood education (ECE) and leads the nation in access to Pre-K for both 3- and 4-year old children. Access to high-quality, affordable childcare is a critical need for families across the District, and DCPS is proud to provide free, universal Pre-K in a school environment to ensure all of our young learners are ready for kindergarten. Many of the very best Pre-K classrooms in the region can be found in DCPS!
2022 Pre-K Family Toolkit
This toolkit is designed to support returning and new DCPS Pre-K families. It includes information about the Pre-K classroom experience, key dates, helpful links, answers to frequently asked questions, and ideas for supporting Pre-K children’s learning over the summer as they transition into school.
View Spanish & English toolkits here.
Pre-K Enrollment
To enroll new 3- and 4-year-olds in school, families must apply through the My School DC lottery. Families may enroll children in PK3 if the child is at least 3 years old and in PK4 if the child is at least 4 years old, respectively, by September 30. The DCPS Early Action Pre-Kindergarten program provides guaranteed access for in-boundary students applying to Pre-K at participating schools. Learn more here.
Head Start
DCPS offers Head Start at six of our elementary schools in Wards 7 and 8 – CW Harris, Hendley, Kimball, King, Savoy and Stanton. Families who are enrolled in PK at these schools are also eligible for Head Start services if they qualify. Families must be income eligible (at or below 100% of the federal poverty guidelines), on TANF or SSI, in foster care or homeless. Head Start services include intensive case management/support, mental health services, field trips, health services, parent education and support. Review DCPS’ Head Start Annual Report for School Year 2021-2022.
Equitable Access Designated Seats
The Equitable Access Designated Seats program is designed to expand access to Prekindergarten seats at DC Public Schools for students furthest from opportunity. Families who meet the criteria will receive additional considerations in the school lottery process when applying for certain schools. Learn more about this program and how to apply.
ECE Fast Facts
DCPS enrolls over 6,000 Pre-K3 and Pre-K4 students across all elementary schools.
DCPS enrolls 250 Pre-K3 and Pre-K4 students in Head Start.
More than 92 percent of early childhood students at DCPS are meeting or exceeding developmental expectations.
DCPS supports 63 Pre-K self-contained special education classrooms to meet the needs of all children’s developmental and learning differences.
Children who enroll in DCPS Pre-K programs outperform national literacy averages upon kindergarten entry.
DCPS is among the few jurisdictions that require our Pre-K teachers to have at least a bachelor’s degree, and many of our teachers exceed that minimum requirement. We are also among the few that pay our Pre-K teachers on the same salary scale as our K-12 educators and provide ongoing professional development for all teachers.
DCPS utilizes rigorous monthly data reviews and progress monitoring systems to identify bright spots and corrective actions or supports needed at specific schools. We will continue intensive supports in this area to ensure our commitment to our youngest learners is evident.
Washington, DC invested over $100 million to expand early childhood education opportunities – including opening the Stevens Early Learning Center in August 2020; renovating the Old Randle Highlands and Old Miner school buildings; as well as, new programming at Bunker Hill, Drew, King, Moten, and Wheatley – to offer more infant and toddler seats in the coming years. In August 2021, DCPS opened the Military Road Early Learning Center in the historic Brightwood neighborhood. The center exclusively serves PK3 and PK4 children.
Program Overview
At DCPS we believe that all young children are capable and competent learners, and their voices and ideas are welcomed and valued in our classrooms. In DCPS’ early childhood classrooms children learn through a combination of play, teacher-led lessons, and engaging learning experiences. Classrooms are designed to promote children’s active engagement with the environment, and teachers design learning experiences to promote children’s language development, critical thinking skills, creativity, and early academic skills in order to ensure that children are well prepared for success in kindergarten and beyond.
Curriculum & Assessment
DCPS PreK classrooms utilize Creative Curriculum which includes developmentally appropriate goals and objectives for children within four areas of development: social/emotional, physical, cognitive and language and are aligned to the DC Early Learning Standards.
Using the curriculum as a framework, teachers follow the lead of the children and pursue the questions and investigations within each study that are most interesting to the children in their classroom. In addition to teacher planned learning experiences, everyday children engage in purposeful play, supporting relationship building, problem-solving, and critical thinking.
Throughout the day, teachers are observing children and gathering information about their skills and understandings to guide their planning. These observations, along with children’s work, are documented in our assessment platform Teaching Strategies GOLD. Three times a year, using the information captured in GOLD, teachers determine where each child is in their development in a variety of objectives or standards and share the information with families.
For Families
At DCPS we know that families are children’s first and most important teachers. Family engagement and well-being are essential to children’s success in school.
All Pre-K children have access to mental health support and social work services offered through the school community. Families can also receive support through case management, family engagement opportunities, and connections with community-based organizations to provide additional support.
Do you have a toddler or two-year-old? Join Ready for Pre-K! This exciting new initiative is dedicated to helping parents and caregivers of two-year-olds support their child’s development and learning at home! Each monthly, virtual learning session will focus on a different area of learning that is closely related to children’s success in Pre-Kindergarten and beyond. Gain insight into your child’s development, ask questions, access a variety of educational resources, and get to know DCPS! Learn more here!
Early Childhood Transition Week
DCPS Pre-K3 and Pre-K4 classrooms operate on the regular school system calendar, except for Early Childhood Transition Week. This special transition period occurs during the first week of the school year. To help ease the transition from home or daycare to school, Pre-K3 and Pre-K4 start with a shortened week. The first day of Pre-K for SY 22-23 21-22 is Thursday, September 1, 2022.
Before Care and Afterschool Services
Many schools offer before care and afterschool services. Children enrolled in afterschool programming receive a free supper as part of the program. Program costs are determined based on a sliding-fee scale. Visit our Afterschool Programs page for more information.

Your 3-K Choices
Use MySchools to search for and learn about 3-K programs. During the application period, you can also use MySchools to add programs to your child’s application and submit it.
There are four different 3-K program settings.
A specific program may offer up to three seat types, which differ in hours and eligibility requirements. When applying to that program in MySchools, be sure to add the seat type(s) you want and are eligible for to your child’s application.
3-K Program Settings
There are four types of settings for 3-K programs. You can choose to apply to programs in one setting or across two, three, or all four settings. Each setting offers the same DOE high-quality, play-based curriculum to New York City’s three-year-old children:
NYC Early Education Centers (NYCEECs). These are community-based organizations with early childhood expertise. They partner with the DOE to provide 3-K programs.
Consider NYC Early Education Centers if your child currently attends the center, has a sibling also attending the program, or your family receives social services from the organization that runs the center.
Some NYC Early Education Centers also offer up to 10 hours of 3-K programming, all year round for families that qualify: see the Enrollment for Extended Day and Year Seats and Head Start Seats section of this page to find out more about whether your family may be eligible.
District Schools. Some DOE public elementary schools offer 3-K programs. Consider this option if your child has an older sibling already attending the school, or you want your child to attend a program in an elementary school setting.
Pre-K Centers. Pre-K Centers are run by DOE staff and only offer grades before kindergarten. Consider Pre-K Centers if you want your child to attend a 3-K program with only young children. These are DOE early childhood centers that only offer grades below kindergarten.
Family Child Care (Home-Based Programs). Home-based programs, also known as family child care programs, offer 3-K in a home setting by a licensed, qualified, child care provider.
In this setting, 3-K children are served in mixed-age groups with other children from birth to three years old.
These programs are consistent with 3-K programs offered in center-based and district school settings, and are overseen by the Department of Education and a Family Child Care Network organization that provides instructional resources, coaching, and family support.
Families may choose to enroll their children in home-based early childhood programs because of their many unique strengths:
Children can form strong relationships with caregivers by continuing in the same program from six weeks to three years old.
Children can interact with other children, including siblings, in a mixed-age setting.
Children can begin their early education in a familiar setting before transitioning to center- or school-based pre-K, if that is the family’s preference.
Families can have access to programs that offer longer days and years to meet the needs of work or school schedules.
Families can find programs that are conveniently located close to home, work, or school.
Families may find that home-based programs best reflect the language and culture of their community.
Like center- and school-based programs, home-based 3-K programs help children learn, grow, and explore the world around them. Home-based programs use DOE-approved curriculum, and the providers receive professional learning and coaching to support quality play-based instruction.
3-K Seat Types
There are three 3-K seat types: Full Day, Extended Day and Year, and Head Start. A 3-K program may offer one, two, or all three of these seat types. You can learn which programs offer which seat types in MySchools. Different seat types have different eligibilities, so check to make sure you are applying to the seat type(s) you want and are likely eligible for.
Full Day seats are open to all NYC children born in 2019. These seats are free and provide early care and education for 6 hours and 20 minutes per day during the school year, typically from September to June.
Extended Day and Year seats are free or low cost and provide care for up to 10 hours of early care and education a day, year-round, including the summer. Eligibility for these seats is based on family income and needs. If you receive an offer to an Extended Day and Year seat, you will need to confirm your child’s eligibility by completing a Child Care application.
Head Start seats are free and provide 10 hours of early care and education a day, year-round. Eligibility for Head Start is based on family income and needs. If you receive an offer to a Head Start seat, the program will work with you to confirm your child’s eligibility.
Visit Programs’ Websites and Attend Open Houses
We encourage you to visit programs’ websites or contact programs directly to learn more about them and find out if they are hosting any virtual or in-person open houses or information sessions, or if they have other resources to share with prospective families.
Visiting a 3-K program is a great way to explore if it may be the right place for your child. Virtual tours also provide a way to imagine what attending that program would be like.
When visiting a 3-K program virtually or in person, consider asking staff members questions about the program, such as:
How will the teachers learn about my child’s interests, strengths, and needs?
How will your program help children get to know the teachers and the other staff?
How would you describe the community of teachers and families here?
How do teachers work with families?
How do teachers guide children’s behavior?
How will staff members make sure my child feels safe and cared for?
What are your program’s strengths? What are you working on improving?
How do teachers support children who speak a language other than English at home?
Learn How Children Get Offers
How can you know your child’s chances of getting an offer from one of your favorite programs? It helps to start by learning how offers are made. Children get 3-K offers based on three key factors:
Your application choices
Program’s seat availability
Admission priorities
3-K admissions is not first come, first served, and you can make changes to your application any time before the deadline.

Enrollment for 3-K Extended Day and Year Seats, and for 3-K Head Start Seats
Who is Eligible?
In all school districts, some 3-K seats are available to families who qualify based on their income and needs.
Extended Day and Year seats are free or low cost and offer early care and education all year round for up to 10 hours a day.
Head Start seats are free and offer early care and education all year round for up to 10 hours a day.
If your family qualifies for either of these seat types, you can enroll your child at any time throughout the year.
These seats are offered in NYC Early Education Centers and family child care networks and may also serve infants, toddlers, and four-year-olds. To learn more, visit our Child Care Eligibility and Pre-K pages.
Head Start Seats
The best way to find out if your family is eligible for Head Start is to contact a program directly. Your family may qualify for Head Start if at least one of these categories applies to you:
You live in temporary housing
You receive HRA Cash Assistance
You receive SSI (Supplemental Security Insurance)
You are enrolling a child who is in foster care
Your family income falls below a certain amount
3-K Extended Day and Year Seats
Your family may qualify for other 3-K Extended-Day and Year seats if your family’s income falls below a certain amount AND you have at least one of the following approved “reasons for care”:
You work an average of 10 or more hours per week
You are in an educational or vocational training program
You have been looking for work for up to 6 months
You live in temporary housing
You are attending services for domestic violence
These 3-K Extended Day and Year seats are funded by the Federal Child Care and Development Block Grant. Because of the requirements of this Federal funding, you must provide proof that your child is a U.S. citizen, U.S. national, or lawful permanent resident or refugee to be eligible for these particular programs. Documentation is only needed for the child in need of child care; you will not be asked for the immigration status of anyone else in your household, including your status. Documentation for the child in need of care can be one of the following: a U.S. birth certificate, U.S. passport, naturalization certificate, alien registration card (including permanent resident or green card), or Form FS-240 (report of birth abroad of a U.S. citizen).
The DOE is committed to welcoming all children and families, regardless of citizenship or immigration status, into our schools and programs. Families do not need to provide proof of citizenship or immigration status to be admitted to any Full Day, Head Start, or Early Head Start seat at DOE programs. If your family is unable to meet the Extended Day and Year seat documentation requirements listed above, the DOE will help you explore any available program alternatives that meet the needs of your family.
How to Enroll Mid-Year
Programs with Extended Day and Year seats and/or Head Start seats can enroll eligible children at any time throughout the year.
Visit MySchools to find a program near you. Seat types will be listed as options to add to your application. Filter for these options by clicking the “More Filters” tab and selecting the seat type(s) you want.
For Head Start seats, enroll directly through program.
For other Extended Day and Year seats, contact us at [email protected].
Special Referrals
There are a few instances where a different process is needed to apply:
Families applying for or receiving cash assistance must apply for care at their Human Resources Administration (HRA) Job Center.
Families with an active Child Welfare case, preventive and/or protective, must contact their case worker to make a Child Care subsidy referral.
Employed foster parents must contact their case worker to make a Child Care subsidy referral.
All families, including families that may need one of these referrals, can call 311 to get help with finding a program and completing the Child Care subsidy application.

Michigan preschool pilot for 3-year-olds could end
Students in a Strong Beginnings classroom sing and dance at Growing Minds Learning Center in Detroit. Strong Beginnings is a pilot preschool program for 3-year-old children from low income families.
Erin Kirkland for Chalkbeat
For two years, a dozen classrooms across Michigan have experimented with a new idea for the state’s early education system: Public preschool for 3-year-olds.
State officials launched the pilot program, called Strong Beginnings, with support from a federal grant, on the premise that high-quality education has profound benefits for all young learners — not just those who are a year away from kindergarten.
But the federal funds are about to expire. And even as Michigan’s state revenues reach record highs, state officials appear poised to let the program end.
That’s a missed opportunity to expand on the success of Michigan’s existing program for 4-year-olds, officials say. Studies show that children’s experience during the developmental window between toddler age and kindergarten, a period that begins at age 3, is critical to their success in school.
“We know that two years of quality preschool has better effects on kindergarten readiness and longer-term academic outcomes in the early elementary years and beyond,” said Richard Lower, director of the Office of Preschool and Out-of-School Time Learning at the Michigan Department of Education.
Michigan’s state-funded preschool, the Great Start Readiness Program, is regularly ranked among the highest-quality in the country, but it only serves 4-year-olds.
“The state has done a great job with 4-year-olds, but our 3-year-olds have been missed as part of that equation,” said Yvonne Donohoe, director of early childhood services for Northwest Education Services, a county education agency formerly known as Traverse Bay Area Intermediate School District. Programs for 3-year-olds “are filled to the brim, and with waiting lists.”
Michigan’s program for 4-year-olds was founded in 1985 with fewer than 700 children and expanded steadily for decades. State officials see Strong Beginnings as a first step on a similar pathway to a robust statewide preschool system for 3-year-olds at risk of low educational attainment.
But with its federal grant expiring, the program is at risk of stalling unless the state steps in with additional funds. Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s education budget doesn’t include funds for the pilot. Neither does the current House budget plan.
The Senate’s budget plan includes a placeholder item indicating that some senators want to discuss keeping the 12 classrooms open.
“It is my hope that we can continue Strong Beginnings and offer this programming to more children across Michigan,” said Sen. Wayne Schmidt, R-Traverse City, in a statement. The Strong Beginnings pilot opened classrooms in his district.
Bobby Leddy, a spokesman for Whitmer, said she is “open to discussing options to expand early childhood education programs even further to younger Michiganders and continue making bold investments to support families, put children on a path to success and ultimately strengthen Michigan’s economy. ”
Children are eligible for Strong Beginnings or GSRP based on their family’s income and a range of other factors including behavioral challenges.
A handful of cities and states with large public preschool programs, such as New Jersey, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C., offer services to 3-year-olds, but that is not the norm nationwide. As of 2019, most states offered public preschool to fewer than 5% of their 3-year-olds. Michigan was among the 19 states that served only 4-year-olds.
Officials in the Michigan Department of Education began developing a preschool model for 3-year-olds in 2017. The department secured enough federal grant money to open the first 10 classrooms beginning in 2020, and added two more the next year. (The grant funds were not pandemic-related.)
The program would mirror GSRP in many ways, including in its requirements for high-quality curriculum and staff credentialing, but it needed to be tweaked for younger children, who have fewer social-emotional skills and often are still learning to use a toilet.
Child care providers in Michigan often struggle to meet the demand from families with younger children, because they are more expensive to care for and there are fewer state resources to support their care.
“I get more calls for 3-year-olds than for 4-year-olds,” said Priscilla Darby, assistant director at Growing Minds Learning Center on the east side of Detroit, one of the providers selected to participate in Strong Beginnings.
On a recent Tuesday in one of the classrooms at Growing Minds, 3-year-olds wriggled on cots as the smells of Taco Tuesday lingered in the room. The classroom looked similar to those serving 4-year-olds in the same building, but with fewer — and smaller — children. They’d just come in from playing outside. Nap time would come after lunch. Some children drew on pads of paper or offered hugs to a handful of adult visitors to the classroom.
Statewide, the 12 classrooms in Strong Beginnings serve fewer than 200 students, a small fraction of GSRP, which served 28,000 students last year. And scaling it up would be expensive.
Based on the results of the pilot, Lower said Strong Beginnings is estimated to cost $13,500 per pupil. That’s far more than the $8,700 minimum funding level for GSRP and K-12 schools, though it’s roughly in line with what such programs typically cost to run. High-quality public preschool costs around $12,700 per pupil, according to a 2021 report from the RAND Corporation.
Strong Beginnings requires more adults per child, which boosts the cost of the program. The GSRP adult-to-child ratio is 1 to 8, versus the Strong Beginnings ratio of 1 to 7.
Plus, Strong Beginnings requires programs to hire a full-time social worker to connect families with the support they need.
For now, state officials are focused on expanding GSRP to more 4-year-olds, and recently dedicated substantial additional funds to that cause.

Peculiarities of the educational process
It’s no secret that from an early age a child needs maximum attention for the full development of his mental and creative abilities. Unfortunately, in the modern rhythm of life, parents cannot always devote enough time to their children, and many do not always cope with them, because they are used to perceiving parents as parents, and not teachers and educators. Preparing for school in the educational center “In the Land of Knowledge” will help you cope with these difficulties, and most importantly, it will give your child the necessary knowledge and teach you to study with interest!
Pre-school education in our center is: …
1 –
Mini groups
All classes are held in groups of up to 8 people. This optimal number of students allows you to assimilate new material as successfully as possible and consolidate the knowledge already acquired, and the game method will make learning easy and interesting. Children reach out for each other, compete, learn to communicate in a team. A children’s mini-team is psychologically better prepared for school than individual classes, while the quality of education is not lost.
2 –
Highly qualified specialists
All classes are conducted by psychologists, teachers of elementary grades and methodologists of the profile level, who are responsible for their work and love it.
3 –
The latest developments in pedagogy
We are professionals in our field. Our teaching staff follows all trends in the field of education, constantly improving their abilities and expanding their knowledge, which allows us to guarantee the most effective education for your child.
4 –
Comprehensive approach, using different methodologies
We never limit ourselves to one direction in pedagogy. Every child is unique and needs to be approached differently. The use of method synthesis makes education flexible and efficient.
5 –
Person-centered approach
Student-centered education is such education, where the child’s personality, its originality, self-worth are put at the forefront, the subjective experience of each is first revealed, and then coordinated with the content of education. Classes in mini-groups allow you to devote as much time to each child as it takes for him to assimilate knowledge.
6 –
Optimal study time
1 lesson – 30 minutes – this is the maximum time recommended by pedagogy for preschool children (4-6 years old). The fact is that it is difficult to keep the attention of the child for more than 15 minutes, after which he needs to change the type of activity. We adhere to these recommendations for the successful assimilation of educational material by your child without overload and psycho-emotional stress.
The educational center “In the Land of Knowledge” is always in touch with its students and their parents. We rejoice in your success as if it were our own. Educational center “In the Land of Knowledge” – quality education at an affordable price!

Reviews
We have been going here relatively recently, maybe a month, but I like it because there are a lot of interesting activities, manuals and games. I also really like the openness of classes – I sit nearby and see how they are taught, then I can repeat something with my son at home. In general, conscientious teachers, cozy and clean classrooms. I hope it will continue like this

UK Early Childhood Education, British Curriculum | CIS
World of CISArticles Features of the British preschool system
December 23, 2020
It is difficult to overestimate the importance of such a decision as choosing a kindergarten, because it is in a preschool institution that the foundations for further education are laid and personal qualities are formed. Sending a child to the British kindergarten CIS International School means laying the foundation for his future education.
In order to be convinced of the correctness of this statement, it is necessary to understand how preschool education is built for children in the UK and how it differs from Russian.
Early childhood education in the UK
The British are a nation that is extremely careful about its history and traditions. This approach is also characteristic of English education, which successfully combines modern developmental methods and all the best that has been accumulated for centuries by teachers and educators in schools of different levels.
Decent resources have also been accumulated in the field of teaching preschool children, which in England traditionally begins at the age of 2-3. Although this stage in education is not compulsory, most parents prefer to send their children to preschool institutions at this age, and at the age of five, young Britons become schoolchildren.
In the UK, there are various types of preschool institutions with different operating modes, differing in sources of funding, goals and content of educational programs, a contingent of pupils – for any preferences and financial possibilities (game groups, family centers, libraries of books and toys, mother and child clubs, religious churches, etc.).
British Three to Five Education
This aspect is regulated at the state level: the government program provides free pre-school education for children from the age of three. Each young citizen of foggy Albion is entitled to 38 weeks of training per year for 15 hours a week.
To ensure this right, parents receive vouchers from the state for the maintenance of the child in kindergarten. At the same time, each family can dispose of them at its own discretion, using either as a full payment for the stay in a state preschool institution, or as material assistance from the state to pay for a more expensive private or commercial kindergarten.
It is important to note that all institutions participating in the program are required to adhere to uniform programs and methods from the British Ministry of Education – but they are not deprived of the opportunity to make their own changes to the main program, allowing students to focus on certain classes (for example, learning several languages).
Important differences between Russian and British kindergarten
In the domestic tradition, a kindergarten is just a place where children spend time while their parents are busy at work (one might say, an alternative to staying at home with their grandmother – and, as is often believed, not the best). The main requirement for a Russian preschool institution is to provide good nutrition and a proper regimen, which includes entertainment, games, useful activities, mandatory daytime sleep and a walk in the fresh air.
In the English garden for children, the main thing is the learning process, so it is carried out not only at specially allotted time, but constantly.
Pre-school education regulated by the state program in Britain should provide by the time of entering the school:
personal and emotional development of the child;
his social skills, ability to communicate;
knowledge of the language, literacy;
development of mathematical abilities;
general ideas about nature and society;
physical and aesthetic education.
Speaking about British preschool institutions in Russia, it is important to note that in parallel with the general development, pupils learn English, and high learning efficiency is guaranteed by complete immersion in the language environment.
How to choose an English kindergarten in Russia
According to physiologists and psychologists, a child is completely open to learning from the age of three – literally ready to “absorb knowledge like a sponge.” Parents who understand this and do not want to lose the most favorable years for learning choose the British method of preschool education, which effectively uses the natural abilities of babies.
Of course, when choosing a kindergarten, absolutely everything is important. This is the infrastructure (after all, the child spends the whole day in the institution), and the correct organization of the rest and nutrition regimen, and the teaching staff.
If you are specifically interested in the British program for children of primary preschool age, it is fundamentally important that the British work in the kindergarten – not English-speaking Americans, Canadians or, say, Filipinos, but experts from the UK.
This solution is offered by CIS International School, an international school that provides British education in English with native speakers in different regions (campuses in St. Petersburg, Moscow and Tashkent).

The main educational program of preschool education for the new academic year.
Finished sample
By the new academic year, all kindergartens must approve the main educational program. This is a mandatory document along with the annual work plan and development program.
When you analyze your main educational program, do not forget to update it – add a part on working with young children to the program, prescribe work on new forms of interaction with parents, reflect the introduction of digital technologies. So that there are no claims from the inspectors, pay attention to the mistakes that kindergartens often make when developing a program. We offer five checkpoints to check whether the OOP DO is written and finalized correctly.
Take into account the new annual tasks of the kindergarten in order to update the BEP
In order for the educational program in kindergarten not to be a static document that does not change anything in the educational process, it must be updated and specified every year. To do this, it is necessary to take into account the tasks that the state sets for the kindergarten.
Important
In the PLO, rely on government objectives, this will serve as an argument in a conversation with the founder about funding the logistics for the program.
Kindergartens face new challenges in the 2019/20 school year. Take them into account in the PLO: add new parts on working with young children, reflect how you will introduce digital technologies into the educational process and new forms of working with children. These are the requirements of the President (Decree of the President of 07.05.2018). Another step to update the program is to analyze the results of its implementation last year and make adjustments to it.
Add a part on working with young children in the program
The state obliges kindergartens to open groups for children under three years of age as part of the Education project. Check if all the necessary sections for working with young children are in your educational program. For example, now in your kindergarten there is a group for children aged 2 to 3 years, and there is a section in the OOP on the work of this group. But in September you plan to open a group for children from 1.5 to 2 years old. In this case, the section of the program for working with young children must be updated. Write in it how the educational process will be organized in new groups.
Write down work on new forms of interaction with parents
New effective forms of work with children and their parents appear every year. This year, the “Family Club” uniform has proven itself well. Within its framework, educators can interact with children and their families at the same time, and families get to know each other. The “Family Club” involves parents in the educational process and makes it easier for educators to work in groups, because children are present in the group with their parents. Write a program for working in new forms in the OOP.
Information
To make changes to the OOP DO, you do not need the permission of the founder. The kindergarten independently develops, approves the educational program and corrects educational tasks
Reflect the introduction of digital technologies
The Ministry of Education requires the introduction of digital resources and e-education technologies into the educational process. Write down these changes in the content section of the OOP. Justify why it is necessary to introduce digital technologies into the educational process in the target section. For example, because a modern child has been surrounded by technology since childhood, it is close and understandable to him, the educational process using digital technologies will be more productive.
Siberian regional school (college) of Anna Muratova offers electronic lessons for preschoolers, electronic lessons in foreign languages, video fairy tales, lessons in mental arithmetic, calligraphy, speed reading, chess, robotics, electronic educational magazine “ElectronicUM”.
In the organizational section of the PEP, describe the logistics of the introduction of e-education. This section will be important when talking with the founder about the financing of digital resources: the purchase of computers, interactive devices, computer software.
Make adjustments to the BEP based on the results of its implementation last year
To update the educational program, it is necessary to take into account the experience of its implementation over the past year. You can make a cut for several past years, but this will require more analytical work. Take into account positive and negative experiences and adjust the educational program based on it. For example, last year one of the annual tasks of your kindergarten was to improve the quality of pedagogical work on the development of children’s speech. As a result, in a year you have created an effective system for the development of speech. Include a description of this system in the educational program. This will allow you to use the system further. If your teachers could not implement some technique or it did not give the result that you expected from it, replace it with another one. Write it down in the educational program.
Download a sample of the PEP for preschool education
Checkpoints that the PEP is drawn up correctly
Take advantage of checkpoints. There are only five of them:
Intermediate results of its implementation are formulated in the OOP.
In the target section there is a subsection “Planned results of mastering the basic general education program by children”.
Calculation of the ratio of parts of the educational program.
The explanatory note sets out the content of the OOP DO.
The organizational section covers the entire spectrum of educational activities with children.
The Institute of New Technologies in Education invites everyone to distance learning for professional retraining and advanced training programs, seminars and electives, and also offers to study and download templates of documents, recommendations and articles for free.
Intermediate results are formulated in the educational program
If you describe the intermediate results that you expect from the program, you will be able to evaluate the educational process along the way, and not just at the end of the cycle of the educational program. This is important for internal monitoring and WSOKO. Therefore, the educational program requires a separate section “Intermediate results of mastering the educational program”. To compile it, teachers need to describe what skills children will receive at different stages of the implementation of the educational program.
In the target section there is a subsection “Planned results of mastering the basic general education program by children”
Important
The educational program must be developed by the entire teaching staff. Otherwise, you violate paragraph 10 of Art. 3 of the Law on Education and infringe on the rights of teachers
According to the section “Planned results of mastering the basic general education program by children”, you can generally judge how effective your educational program is. If this section does not exist, you will not be able to evaluate the results of OOP. Therefore, before approving the program, check that this subsection exists and that it is spelled out in detail by teachers.
The program is compiled with an approximate calculation of the ratio of parts
The volume of the compulsory part of the program is not less than 60 percent of its total volume. The part formed by the participants in educational relations can take no more than 40 percent. Check the ratio of these parts in the educational program of your kindergarten.
The explanatory note tells about the content of the BEP
The explanatory note defines the content of the educational program. Check that your note is about what the positive differences and features of the program are, what forms will be used to implement them. Often they make historical or informational information out of it. An explanatory note makes it easier to understand the program. Make sure she does her job.
The organizational section describes the environment, conditions, daily routine
Check that the organizational section describes the developing spatial and subject environment and medical and social conditions. It is important that the daily regimen of children comply with SanPiN: the volume of continuous educational activities was not exceeded, the requirements for breaks between classes were observed, recommendations for distributing the load between increased physical activity and mental stress of children. Children need time for free productive, motor, spontaneous play activities – make sure that this is taken into account in the daily routine.

Making a Thanksgiving dinner plate is a favorite in my class! Grab some grocery store ads and cut them into manageable pieces (I cut mine on the folds). Students cut yummy items from the ads and glue them to their plates. If your students are struggling, draw a black line around the object. Don’t forget to put an empty tub on the table for trash.
When I think of Thanksgiving, I think of pie. Create a pie-making play dough tray. For this activity, I put out small pie pans, small pie servers, apple counters, pear counters, a rolling pin, pizza cutters, and a spice jar (with red pom poms inside) to accompany the play dough. This play dough tray will build students’ fine motor muscles, hand-eye coordination, and imagination. It would be a fun activity to do after you read There was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Pie. To keep the pie theme going, make puffy paint pies in art! It’s easy to make puffy paint too. It’s about equal parts, plain shaving cream (not the gel kind), white glue, and food coloring. Mix it all together to create the perfect consistency and color. Then students spread orange puffy paint on a paper plate all the way to the edges. Next, cut small strips of brown paper to make the crust, and since the paint has glue in it already, it will stick perfectly. Lastly, place one cotton ball (aka whip cream) on top.
Corn painting is the perfect open-end art activity for Thanksgiving. Look at the beautiful prints the corn makes when you roll it!
Add Thanksgiving-themed writing paper and vocabulary cards to your writing center. I also added fall-colored dot markers and fall stickers to the center.
The Thanksgiving season gives us an opportunity to talk about being thankful. Children can identify what gratefulness looks like, what it feels like, what we are thankful for, and how we can show others we are thankful. Students colored mini I am Thankful books after we read The Thankful Book by Todd Parr. This is included in my I Am Thankful pack in my TPT store. You can also put blank thank you cards for students to write thank you cards to their friends and family.
Each student made their own thankful turkey craft. On each feather, they wrote and drew things they were thankful for. This is included in my I Am Thankful pack too.

I hid these Thanksgiving letter puzzles in my sensory bin. Students matched the uppercase and lowercase letters to create the picture. Hiding puzzle pieces or game pieces in a sensory bin is a calming activity that stimulates students’ senses. This is included in my Thanksgiving Centers.
Check out this beginning sound and letter match-up-turkey style. I put some corn kernels in a tub and then added the letter feathers, sound feathers, and magnet letters. I even threw in some magnet letters that didn’t match! This is also included in my Thanksgiving Centers.
It’s so important to integrate sensory into different activities as the weather changes, and we have to stay inside more. Those yucky days when students can’t go outside can be tough. So I just had to do Thanksgiving turkey number puzzles hidden in the corn sensory bucket, which are included in my Thanksgiving Centers as well!
Students clapped the number of syllables in various foods and placed them onto the corresponding plate. Add more movement and have students JUMP the syllables. Trust me; it is a ton of fun! This is included in my Thanksgiving Centers.
One of my favorite Thanksgiving books is 10 Fat Turkeys. It is a cute story, and as a bonus, I can use it to teach rhyme and informal subtraction! I drew a line on the board for the fence and placed the 10 turkeys on it. Students helped me put the numbers above the turkeys in order, and now we are identifying numbers too! As I read, the students take the turkeys off one by one. This is included in my Thanksgiving Centers. Take the Thanksgiving theme to the blocks center! Add pumpkins, leaves, popsicle sticks, feathers, veggie counters, and cardboard pieces, and Fall STEM I Can Build Cards to get students building and engineering Thanksgiving things!
Truth: bulletin boards are not my favorite thing. I always strive to make the bulletin boards in and outside of my classroom filled with student work. This turkey has to be the cutest bulletin board I have ever made. It’s festive, colorful, and made with love by my students! I cut long ovals for the feathers. Students painted an AB pattern on each feather. Students also helped me paint the circle turkey body and head. Once everything was dry, I assembled the turkey and added the eyes, beak, and feet.
Simply writing numbers on paper is boring. So why not write numbers in corn? Students pick a number card, write the number in the corn, and count out the corresponding number of pom poms to fill the ten frames. Students are developing one-to-one correspondence, identifying numbers, writing numbers, and developing fine motor skills in this activity. This is included in my Thanksgiving Centers.
Yes, two play dough trays for this theme! For this turkey play dough tray, you will need brown play dough, feathers, eyes, beads, and orange pipe cleaners. I had a turkey cookie cutter, so I added it to the tray too. Students sculpt a turkey body with the play dough and add other items to create their turkey. If you add dice, students can roll the dice and count out the corresponding number of feathers. Thanksgiving is full of food so investigate healthy foods, their bodies, and healthy habits at the science table. Sort pretend food and practice various exercises (and time them too). You can find all of these printables in my My Body and Teeth Science Unit HERE.

Thanksgiving Art Activities
Coffee Filter Turkeys
Cut a coffee filter in half and have children paint it with watercolors. Cut out a turkey’s body from brown paper (a sort of gourd shape) and let the children glue it on. Have them draw eyes and a beak.
Pie Pan Art
Thanksgiving is all about pies and children may see pie pans used in the kitchen at this time of year. This art activity lets children use a pie pan with paint. Cut paper circles the same size to fit in a disposable pie pan. Place marbles in tempera paint. Have the children place the marbles in the pie pan (one at a time) and roll it around to paint the paper.
Dinner Napkins
Cut fabric into squares of about 12×12 inches using pinking shears. You can buy inexpensive fabric from the clearance area or ask parents to donate scraps. Have the children paint foam craft stamps with fabric paint and stamp it on the fabric. They can also paint designs directly onto the fabric. These can be used in a classroom Thanksgiving celebration or at home for Thanksgiving dinner.
Thanksgiving Literacy Activities
Pie Pan Writing
Here’s another way to allow children to use pie pans. Place orange tempera paint or fingerpaint in a disposable pie pan. Use enough to cover the bottom of the pan. Have the children use their finger to practice writing letters in the paint. You can also use pudding instead of paint (color vanilla pudding orange to look like pumpkin pie).
Giving Thanks Class Book
Ask children to think of things they are thankful for, and illustrate it on a sheet of paper. Each child’s page would read: “_____ is thankful for _____.” Example: “Nash is thankful for friends.” To make our class books, I use “presentation book covers” from an office supply store or Walmart. It has a sturdy plastic cover with a clear insert, and the pages are also clear inserts. I just slip in a page for the front cover, and slip in the children’s pages inside. These can be reused.

Turkey Flat Bread Roll Up
Ingredients: Spreadable cheese (Cheese Whiz, Velveeta, or spreadable cream cheese) Flat bread Deli turkey slices Spread the cheese on a small piece of flat bread, place a slice of deli turkey on top, and roll it up. Popsicle sticks can be used for spreaders.
Thanksgiving Center Activities
Sensory Table: Pie Crust Dough
At large group time, mix different consistencies of flour and water mixtures (similar to pie crust dough). Make 3-4 bowls using varying amounts of flour and water. Place the bowls in the sensory table, and allow children to explore and feel the difference of the consistencies. Another idea is to place a cup of flour, cup of water, bowl, and spoon in the sensory table, and let the children choose how much of each substance to add to their bowl and stir. You can read more about this sensory table here (see Flour & Water Mixture).
House Center
In the House Center, add a Thanksgiving tablecloth, Thanksgiving placemats, and a vase of autumn flowers.

Thanksgiving Day in the USA | USA – interesting to know
Giant Balloon in Thanksgiving Day Parade
Thanksgiving Day in the USA is one of the most popular and beloved holidays of Americans, along with Christmas and Easter. It is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November. On this day, Americans attend a church service, after which they gather in the family circle for a festive dinner.
Among the main culinary delights of the United States, on Thanksgiving Day, the signature American dish – stuffed turkey – deserves special attention. Among the most common breeds of these birds today is the white Dutch turkey.
But why exactly did the turkey become a symbol of the festive table, and why is the feast of gratitude remarkable? To answer these questions, it is worth delving a little into the history of Thanksgiving on American soil.
The origin of the holiday is associated with a group of English Protestant Puritans who, in September 1620, fleeing religious persecution in their homeland, sailed on the ship Mayflower to the New World. After two months of sailing, their ship landed on the east coast of America (New England).
They landed in what is now Massachusetts, where the decision was made to set up the first camp. However, the New World was not merciful to the settlers: difficulties in finding food, the harsh local climate, unknown diseases – all this served as an aid to the deterioration of living conditions. More than half of the colonists became seriously ill and died on the new continent in the first winter from hunger and want.
The surviving Puritans established Plymouth Colony, the oldest English settlement in America, and little by little formed friendships with the local natives. American Indians played a decisive role in their survival, gladly responded to the requests of new neighbors, helped to establish a life and manage the household.
Thanks to the Indians, the settlers learned to cultivate the land, grow pumpkins, sow beans and corn, and hunt wild turkeys. By the way, the outsiders received the recipe for the famous maple syrup from the Indians.
An unexpectedly rich harvest in the fall of 1621 rewarded the colonists for their efforts. And since the first settlers were deeply religious Christians, they decided to give thanks to the Lord for his mercy. The Indians of the tribe were invited to the celebration, which helped them stay alive.
After the independence of the United States in 1776, the young country had to hastily acquire its own traditions and holidays. Thanksgiving Day in the United States became a public holiday in 1789 with the light hand of the first president, George Washington. He signed a decree on the celebration of Thanksgiving Day on November 26th of each year.
And yet, the holiday gained nationwide recognition and love only in 1864, when on that day Abraham Lincoln called on the troops of the North and South to end hostilities and, having shared a common table and food, come to a peaceful solution to the issue. A year later, the civil war came to an end, and it was decided to celebrate Thanksgiving Day on the last Thursday of every November. At 1941, this date was legally approved.
Thanksgiving has evolved over the years and is carefully followed by Americans. On this bright holiday in the morning, Americans rush to church, and then the whole family gathers at a festive table laden with traditional dishes, and be sure to read a prayer of thanksgiving together.
On the eve of the holiday, the house is decorated with berries and branches, bouquets of brown, yellow and orange chrysanthemums, which is associated with the autumn season and a rich harvest. On this day, several generations of the same family meet at the same table in the house of elders. During a family meal, each of those present thanks the Almighty for all the joyful events that took place in his life last year.
Turkey is the main attribute of a festive feast. The preparation of solemn dishes is most often done by the mother, but only the head of the family is trusted to cut the turkey. The first pieces of treats go to the children, then they are distributed according to seniority. So, from a tender age, Americans strive to form in the minds of their children respect for family traditions and a passion for national dishes.
Also on the table are usually sweet potatoes, yams, pumpkin pie, cranberry sauce. According to historians, it was these dishes that decorated the first Thanksgiving holiday table back in the 17th century.
The traditional celebratory drink on this day is apple cider, which is usually served hot and certainly well seasoned with spices.
Turkey pardon ceremony
There is a tradition of pardoning a turkey in the White House on the eve of the celebration. This is done so that at least one bird can avoid becoming the main dish of the feast. A few months before the ceremony, about thirty turkeys are selected, whose candidatures are then posted on the White House website. Anyone can give their voice to the bird they like. The winning turkey and its “understudy” are diligently prepared for an honorable meeting with the president – they are hand-fed, thus teaching them not to be afraid of strangers.
The first official turkey pardon ceremony was held in 1989 by US President George W. Bush. Since then, every year the most successful turkey and its “understudy” bypass the fate of being roasted and after a solemn pardon ceremony, they are transferred to the zoo, where they live until old age.
On Thanksgiving Day, costumed parades take place throughout the United States. On the central streets of the cities, carnivals, enchanting processions, theatrical and circus performances are held in honor of the first settlers of America. For the first time such a parade was held at 1924 in Detroit.
However, the most famous Thanksgiving Day parade has been held annually in New York City since 1927 with the support of Macy’s largest department store chain – Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. The participation in the parade of giant inflatable toys depicting cartoon and comic book characters adds to the showiness and scale of this event.
It is also customary throughout the country to devote time to charity in anticipation of the holiday. At this time, charitable organizations collect donations in the form of money, things, food, organize free meals and distribute gifts to the homeless and the poor. Great tradition, isn’t it?
On the American continent, another tradition that has recently become popular with the local population is associated with the Thanksgiving Day of American football finals.
The day after Thanksgiving is called “Black Friday” (due to heavy traffic jams). This day is significant in that it is with it that the long-awaited season of pre-Christmas sales in stores across the country begins.
Thanksgiving Day is the favorite family holiday of Americans, which has its own history and good traditions. This holiday is expected in every family, as this is another reason to enjoy communication with relatives and close friends, as well as to thank the Lord for support in difficult times.

Thanksgiving Day: traditions, menus and vocabulary
Author: Alisa Ryzhkova
Not far off Thanksgiving Day is an annual national holiday in the United States and Canada when people celebrate the harvest and remember all the blessings of the year. We have prepared a brief educational program to dot the i’s.
History
Thanksgiving was originally a celebration of gratitude and appreciation to God, as well as to family and friends for material well-being and kindness. In the United States and Canada, this holiday has largely lost its religious significance and has become civil, generally accepted and nationwide.
The roots of this holiday go deep into American history, to the very first settlers from England, who arrived on the shores of America in 1620 on the now famous Mayflower ship. They landed after a hard voyage across a stormy ocean in what is now Massachusetts on a frosty November day and founded the Plymouth Colony.
More than half of the approximately 100 arrivals could not survive the harsh winter and died from cold, hunger and disease. The survivors established a colony and began tilling the land in the spring with the help of local Indians, most notably Squanto, who taught them what crops to grow and how to grow on this inhospitable rocky soil. An unexpectedly rich harvest was the reward for their efforts. The first governor of the colonists, William Bradford, proposed a day of thanksgiving to the Lord. For a holiday in the autumn of 1621, the Pilgrim Fathers invited the leader and 9 others0 Indians of the tribe that helped them survive in unfamiliar conditions. This meal, shared with the Indians, was the first Thanksgiving celebration. Subsequently, the colonists celebrated a good harvest with occasional Thanksgiving festivities.
After gaining independence and the emergence of a single state of the United States, the first president of the country, George Washington, proposed to celebrate Thanksgiving Day as a national holiday every year on November 26th. And after the end of the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln declared the fourth Thursday of November to be Thanksgiving Day.
Menu
Turkeys are usually stuffed with chestnuts and/or minced meat and grains and baked in the oven.
Cranberry Sauce – Cranberry Sauce
No one serves Thanksgiving turkey without this seasonal sauce. The first pilgrims learned all about cranberries from the Indians who picked these berries in the fall. Today, some people serve purchased cranberry sauce, but if you have time, you can try making your own. All you need to do is boil some sugar and water, add the cranberries, cook until the berries burst, mash them, and then let the sauce cool in the refrigerator.
Vegetables – Vegetables
Thanksgiving, which is closely associated with harvest festivals, uses all the vegetables traditionally harvested at that time of year. This means that there are a lot of root crops on the table – vegetables that grow in the ground, under the soil, and not above the ground or on trees. This includes potatoes of all kinds, parsnips, carrots, yams, and the most popular Thanksgiving vegetable, pumpkin.
Marshmallow Sweet Potato – Sweet Potato Casserole With Marshmallows
This is a Thanksgiving favorite baked all over the country. All you have to do is toast the sweet potatoes, then mash them, add some butter and cinnamon, sprinkle with marshmallows, and then put them back in the oven until the marshmallows are browned.
Pumpkin Pie – Pumpkin Pie
Not only do Americans serve pumpkin as a vegetable, but they also sweeten pumpkin puree to use as a tasty topping for this traditional pie.
Pecan Pie – Pecan Pie
Another popular type of pie is another ingredient harvested in autumn. This maple syrup-sweetened pie uses pecans, but it’s not the only dish that has them on the dinner table. They are crushed and used as part of turkey stuffing, and mixed with roasted vegetables.
Traditions
Travel – Traveling
One of the best things about Thanksgiving is spending time with family. Many people live far away from family members and travel long distances by car, train or plane to be with their loved ones. Thanksgiving is often one of the busiest days of the year!
Turkey Pardon – The Turkey Pardon
Every Thanksgiving, the President of the United States receives a turkey as a gift. At a ceremony at the White House, the President traditionally grants her a “pardon” so that she can live on a farm.
Breast bone (Wishbone) – Wishbone
In some families, the turkey breast bone is broken. After the meat was removed from it, the bone became dry and brittle, two people take the bone from different ends, make a wish and pull. Whoever gets the most of the dice can count on the fulfillment of his desire!
TV – TV
Many families watch the New York Thanksgiving Day Parade, which includes marching bands, floats, songs and numbers from Broadway musicals, and giant helium balloons. People enjoy watching football matches and also playing outside.
Helping Others – Charity
Thanksgiving is a great time to help people less fortunate in life. Some people volunteer to distribute food at homeless shelters; others make donations to shelters or participate in canned food campaigns.
After Meals – After Meals
Food eaten, dishes washed… now it’s time to relax. Some families ride bikes, walk or sleep. Others play board or card games together.

In the United States, indeed, very often families and relatives live in different states and cities.
In our country we know about Thanksgiving first of all from Hollywood films and thanks to English lessons at school. If you are lucky with a teacher and he loves the culture of the country whose language he teaches you, then you will also love the holidays of this great country and discover a lot for yourself. And if not, then you should think about finding a private teacher.
Thanksgiving Day is a special holiday for Americans, and why this is so can be understood from the lessons of American history. Within the framework of this article, unfortunately, it is impossible to tell all the subtleties of historical facts more than 400 years ago. And I can immediately say that the official version of history is kinder, more joyful and happy than what actually happened. However, we will not go into such details, simply because in the framework of general education on this topic, it is not necessary to know this. American Thanksgiving began as a holiday in the early years of the American colonies, almost four hundred years ago.
In 1620, a ship with over a hundred passengers sailed across the Atlantic Ocean to stop in the New World. Pilgrims from England settled in what is now Massachusetts. Their first winter in the New World was very difficult. They arrived too late to grow enough crops, there was no fresh food or vitamins. Half the colony died of disease in the first winter. The following spring, local Iroquois Indians taught the colonists how to grow corn (maize), showed them other crops to grow, and taught them how to hunt and fish.
In the autumn of 1621, the colonists had their first bountiful harvest of corn, barley, beans, and pumpkins. The first Americans received so much of everything that they were very grateful. They invited a local Indian chief and 90 Indians. The Indians brought with them deer, turkeys and other wild animals. The colonists learned from the Indians how to cook cranberries and various corn and pumpkin dishes. According to legend, on the first Thanksgiving, the Indians even brought popcorn. Such is the legend. This holiday is surrounded by many myths, many of which today have refutation.
In later years, many of the original colonists began to celebrate the harvest. George Washington proposed the November 26 date for Thanksgiving. Then, in 1863, at the end of the long and bloody civil wars, Abraham Lincoln asked all Americans to celebrate the last Thursday in November as Thanksgiving. To this day, Thanksgiving dinner almost always includes dishes served at the first Thanksgiving: roast turkey, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie. Before eating, a pause is made and a prayer or words of gratitude are read to thank for everything, including the joy of getting together with the whole family. Thanksgiving became a national tradition, not only because so many Americans found prosperity and wealth in this country, but also because the pilgrims who sacrificed for their freedom still captivate the imagination.
Thanksgiving Traditions and Symbols
The first football game (we mean American football) was broadcast in 1934. It started in Detroit with the Detroit Lions and the tradition is strong to this day. The Thanksgiving Day Parade began in 1924 and also marks the start of the Christmas season. Now this tradition is known as Black Friday. Franklin Roosevelt extended the Christmas shopping season and stimulated the economy by allowing Fridays off.
Turkey, corn, pumpkin and pumpkin pie, and cranberry sauce are symbols that represent the first Thanksgiving dinner. Now all these symbols are printed on holiday decorations and greeting cards. Corn is also a symbol of the autumn season and harvest. Sweet and sour cranberry sauce, or jelly, was on the first Thanksgiving table and still is.
Modern Thanksgiving in America is a delicious family dinner with must-have dishes on the table, a football game, city parades, and a must-have pre-Christmas mood. And of course, obligatory prayers and words of gratitude.
Public recognition of the role of Indians in Thanksgiving is an important part of American history. Until now, most schoolchildren believe that the pilgrims prepared the entire festive dinner and brought it to the Indians. In fact, without the help of the Indians, the first settlers would not have survived.

Peacemaker’s Day in Russia and Thanksgiving Day in the USA – what holidays are celebrated on November 25?

Why peacekeepers are needed, what must be on the table for Thanksgiving and who John the Merciful is – all the details in the material “MK in Omsk”.

Day of the Russian military peacekeeper is celebrated on November 25. This holiday has not yet been officially established, and November 25 was chosen because on this day in 1973, a group of Soviet military for the first time became a member of the peacekeeping operation in the Middle East at the official level. Peacekeepers are involved in various military operations when there are no results from previously adopted economic and political measures. In 2002, the UN General Assembly established the International Day of UN Peacekeepers. It is celebrated on 29May. The activities of Russian peacekeepers were legalized in 1995 by a decree of the President of the Russian Federation.
Russian peacekeepers ensured peace in such countries and regions as Bosnia and Herzegovina, South Ossetia, Abkhazia, Transnistria, Sudan, Sierra Leone, CAR, Chad, Liberia, Kosovo, Tajikistan, Angola, Nagorno-Karabakh. November 25 is an important professional holiday, as it is celebrated by people who are called to adequately represent Russia as a guarantor of peace anywhere in the world.
Thanksgiving Day is celebrated every fourth Thursday in November in the USA. In 2021, this holiday fell on November 25th. Thanksgiving was first celebrated in 1621 by English colonists who lived in Plymouth Colony. The Puritans brought a deep religious meaning to this holiday – they saw it as a way to thank the Almighty for mercy. Thanksgiving became a national holiday in the United States after it was approved by President George Washington in 1789.year. Thanksgiving Day has a number of traditions:
the whole family must go to church, and after the service gather at the festive table. There must be a turkey on the table. At the first feast, the colonists and Indians roasted and ate together four turkeys shot in the nearby woods. Since then, turkey and Thanksgiving have become synonymous, poultry farmers fatten turkeys especially for this holiday.
According to the folk calendar of Russia, November 25 is celebrated as Ivan the Merciful. This is a patriarch who lived in Alexandria in the 6th-7th centuries. John was the son of the governor of the island of Cyprus. Having lost his wife and children, he began to lead an ascetic life, constantly taking care of the poor. After the people elected John to the patriarchal throne, he counted all the poor in Alexandria and distributed his property to them. In Russia, wedding weeks ended at this time. The next marriages were concluded only with the end of winter – on Maslenitsa or on Krasnaya Gorka. Therefore, girls and boys who did not meet their fate had to wait until spring and envy more successful girlfriends and friends. If snow fell on Ivan the Merciful or it rained, then long thaws could be expected.

Tips for a Safe Thanksgiving – Jefferson Center
Tips for a Safe Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is just around the corner. For many, this means turkey, family and football. Regardless of your traditions, one thing is certain: this year’s holidays will be unlike any other. With an ongoing pandemic that continues to disrupt daily life, Americans are wondering what this means for their vacation plans.
Family gatherings this year may put loved ones at risk, especially the vulnerable and the elderly. It is better to skip one family holiday in order to celebrate together next year. The safest way to celebrate this year is with family. If you’re planning a holiday with people outside of your family, there are ways to make the holiday safer.
WHAT TO AVOID
In general, CDC suggests Avoid the following holidays:
Attending large indoor meetings with people outside of your household.
Participation or spectator in a crowded race.
Visiting crowded parades.
Shopping in crowded stores in the Thanksgiving area.
. alcohol or drugs that can cloud judgment.
Of course, this is not always possible, and people tend to spend their holidays with their loved ones. The following are just some of the ways to ensure a safer celebration.
TRAVEL SAFELY
Not traveling is the safest option, but for those who must travel this Thanksgiving, consider all your options. Short car trips are the least risky, while longer flights, especially those with transfers, are the most risky.
If you are traveling long distances by car or on long connecting flights, use the following steps to protect yourself and others from COVID-19:
Wear a mask in public places, including airports and train stations.
Stay at least 6 feet away from anyone outside of your household.
Wash your hands frequently or use hand sanitizer (at least 60% alcohol).
Avoid contact with sick people.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
PREPARE FOR QUARANTINE
One of the safest ways to reduce your risk is to quarantine for two weeks after your trip. It may not be possible for everyone, but for those who can, public health experts recommend quarantine for 10-14 days before participating in Thanksgiving celebrations. The time frame of 10-14 days is based on the incubation period of the virus. Quarantine is a way to make sure you don’t have a virus and therefore can’t pass it on to others.
REVIEW YOUR DINNER
For many, preparing for an all-day meal is just as important as enjoying a big meal together. Food is the backbone of Thanksgiving, so this year it’s important to find ways and safe alternatives to keep the holiday going.
Virtual Dinner
This is the safest option for those who are uncomfortable gathering in groups or have vulnerable family members. You can practice all the same traditions together in a virtual space, even if you cook in different places! It’s also helpful to reach out to loved ones and stay in touch with your friends and family if you can’t be all together on Thanksgiving.
Eat with housemates
Spending Thanksgiving intimately with loved ones is another way to keep Thanksgiving safe. The CDC even suggests preparing traditional family recipes for friends, family and neighbors and delivering them without contact with other people. It’s a great way to stay in touch with loved ones and build empathy and gratitude, which are the essence of Thanksgiving!
Dine outdoors
For those planning a Thanksgiving gathering with friends and family, having an outdoor dinner is the safest option. This is especially true if guests have traveled significant distances. As the weather gets colder, it becomes more difficult in certain areas, so creating the right environment with heaters, fire pits, appropriate clothing, and other methods is extremely important.
TIPS FOR RECEIVING THANKS
For those of you planning to organize a Thanksgiving celebration with people outside your household, the CDC suggests the following:
Eat outdoors. The risk of spreading COVID-19 is lower outdoors.
Limit the number of guests.
Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces and objects between uses.
Keep your windows open when celebrating indoors.
Limit the number of people in food preparation areas.
Consider having guests bring their own food and drinks.
Have one person serve disposable food such as plastic utensils.
TIPS FOR ATTENDING A THANKS HOLIDAY
If you will be attending the celebration with people who are not members of your family, the CDC recommends the following:
Consider bringing your own food, cups, plates, drinks and dishes.
Wear a mask and keep it in a safe place while eating and drinking.
Avoid places where food is prepared.
Use single-use items such as salad dressings and condiment bags and single-use items such as food containers, plates and utensils.
TALK TO FRIENDS AND FAMILY
Communication is key, and as the mask-wearing debate continues to rage across the country, we need to communicate with our loved ones about whether it is safe to get together for Thanksgiving. Start those tough conversations right now and don’t make judgments. Everyone’s comfort level is different, valid and should always be respected. While we’re talking to our loved ones about what we like and don’t like, we can help ensure a safer holiday season.
CELEBRATE IN OTHER WAYS
With the world’s ongoing instability, now is a great opportunity to create new holiday traditions or celebrate them in unconventional ways! Try cooking a new dish, decorating or doing arts and crafts, writing thank you letters, or just watching a new show. Just because the holidays look different this year doesn’t mean you shouldn’t use this time to celebrate with your loved ones in safe ways so you can all have a good time!
Thanksgiving is not always a holiday for everyone.

Lisa’s Little Sunshine
I searched and will continue to search high and low for a daycare. I thought I found the perfect space for my child. However the communication is a huge opportunity. There was a lot of back and forth on both end as Felicia is not very clear and I had a lot of questions being a 1st time mom.I onlyneeded my child to there for 3 days a week which was always clear. She then asked me was I sure because the child that previously held the spot wanted to come back. I told her I was 100% sure and would move forward due to us not wanting the spot to be taken. I paid the $150 enrollment fee only to receive another message from her asking if my child was coming 3 days a week and to confirm the start date. I replied to her and even called her to clarify and did not receive a response. The next morning I got an auto email stating that my child was unenrolled with no communication from Felicia. I had to give her a call for her to explain the me that the spot was no longer available and was given to a family that was coming fulltime. With all that being said I just wish she was clear from the beginning that she preferred a fulltime family. I unfortunately cannot afford my child to be in daycare fulltime but I would have started searching elsewhere if that information was made clear. I also didn’t appreciate them accepting my money then going with another family not even 24hrs later with little to no communication. Not very nice , unprofessional and poor communication. The facility is nice and I pray she is able to improve in those areas….

To be honest, choosing the Sheepshead Bay daycare center is not a simple task, as caregivers to whom you entrust the development of your child should be well-trained and possess an array of personal qualitiesand characteristics. Highly trained classroom staff is what you should pay attention to when making a well-informed decision. Preschool education is not something that anyone can go into. Thus, Little Scholars may be your smartest choice as our preschool teachers are:
Patient: facing daily challenges, great caregivers should have plenty of patience to teach kids with different levels of development without getting riled up.
Flexible: dealing with unforeseen situations is a must-have skill for every preschool teacher since anything can happen, so the ability to respond quickly and wisely can help to tackle any challenge.
Dedicated: a good specialist knows how to inspire and motivate even the smallest ones. Only excellent and passionate daycare Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn educators will give your child great care and take care of his/her future.
Compassionate: to feel deeply for all little students as they experience the ups and downs associated with education and development is a part of our job. Teachers will support your kids in their strivings, first success and failure.
Innovative: our specialists will find a solution to any challenge and come up with fresh ideas on how to interact with the entire group, so everyone is valued. We continue to discover and devise new approaches and methods to ensure that every kid gets the best possible learning experiences….

A truly unique place!
This is a family in which the child is a PERSONALITY and, as a result, an appropriate attitude towards him. The desire to go to the daycare the joy of meeting friends and belovededucators, a variety of activities, funny entertainment – that’s all in this daycare
“”Mom, today we saw a real volcano!””, “”We sat in a cave like first people””, “”Stars shone above us today””, “”Do you know why the blood is red?””, “”And what human organs do you know ? “”,”” I built a pyramid today) “”- and so every day when you bring your child home from Little Scholar
Gradual, smooth preparation of children for school is unobtrusive and interesting: they read, write, perform various logical tasks, determine the time, study the world around them, make something, draw. Teamwork pleases….

Recent Review:
I searched and will continue to search high and low for a daycare. I thought I found the perfect space for my child. However the communication is a huge opportunity. There was a lot of back and forth on bothend as Felicia is not very clear and I had a lot of questions being a 1st time mom.I only needed my child to there for 3 days a week which was always clear. She then asked me was I sure because the child that previously held the spot wanted to come back. I told her I was 100% sure and would move forward due to us not wanting the spot to be taken. I paid the $150 enrollment fee only to receive another message from her asking if my child was coming 3 days a week and to confirm the start date. I replied to her and even called her to clarify and did not receive a response. The next morning I got an auto email stating that my child was unenrolled with no communication from Felicia. I had to give her a call for her to explain the me that the spot was no longer available and was given to a family that was coming fulltime. With all that being said I just wish she was clear from the beginning that she preferred a fulltime family. I unfortunately cannot afford my child to be in daycare fulltime but I would have started searching elsewhere if that information was made clear. I also didn’t appreciate them accepting my money then going with another family not even 24hrs later with little to no communication. Not very nice , unprofessional and poor communication. The facility is nice and I pray she is able to improve in those areas….

My son attended Pre-K here and we had a great experience. I am amazed at how much he learned and how happy he was every day. The school environment was very supportive and nurturing. Not just from his immediateteachers, but also the other teachers and staff members as well. They always greeted us with a smile and it set the tone for him to have an amazing day. Communication was excellent and they responded to all questions and requests in a timely manner. The staff and student body was diverse. They offered a lot of extra events and activities allowing family/community involvement. Loved this school and would absolutely recommend to anyone considering it….

Recent Review:
Three cheers for the unsung heroes of this pandemic that are the wonderful souls who have saved our children, specifically Miss HK. Miss HK , the founder & CEO of the HK Institute embodies exactly what Ibelieve all parents of young children truly dream for in terms of someone to educate their child , pandemic or not. Taking into account that The HK Institute opened their doors, hearts and personal cell phone numbers to anyone and everyone in need in perfect synchronicity with the schools closing nationwide – it was clear from the from the start that Miss HK was someone who was involved purely from the goodness of her heart and her love of her “nuggets” as she lovingly refers to all her students. Hailing from the Ivy League halls of Columbia University & the sunny streets of Sesame Street – Miss HK’s progressive vision and approach to education is not one that you will have the chance to come in contact with many times in life. Her brilliance is only outweighed by her kindness. In regards to program structure she has meticulously created a magical little enclave that is rooted deeply in the concept of inclusive education, multiple intelligences, undivided attention to all details , differentiated instruction and diverse curriculum theories ( *reggio & Montessori & TC reading and writing project ) . To sum it up when signing up for the HK Institute you will get all of the rich academic content of any rival private prep school but along with that you also get a personalized education plan that includes everything from mindfulness morning meditation paddle boarding , assistive technology & learning disability support, personal chefs and there is rumor to be an emotional support pony in the pipeline. It sounds like I’m joking but knowing that my children now have the gumption and guidance of Miss HK & the HK Institute running the show – I am confident anything is possible from academics and beyond. Don’t hesitate to lock down a spot as this isn’t going to stay such a well kept secret for much longer….

tell me a good kindergarten in Richmond Hill
Forum

Foreign mothers
I will move to R. Hill, I need a good kindergarten, maybe even a Russian one, tell me, recommend
stare at the clock, when you can already breathe from it and give it to your mother; a kindergarten where there is an adequate number of children for caregivers, and not 30 children for two; It’s up to you, but I would stay away from Russian kindergartens
And what about 5 years? At the age of 5, they already go to school.
You must have had a bad experience. You don’t have to immediately criticize all Russian kindergartens like that. Our eldest went only a year to kindergarten until Kindergarten. Up to 3.5 years. There she was taught to read and write in Russian, to count. There were 5 children in the kindergarten.
The middle one went to another kindergarten, there were more children, but there were also more teachers. The activities were full.
The younger one goes to the garden now. Six children, two teachers. Classes and developmental entertainment all day long. From the first day, he took root there like a native. Every morning he runs with joy to the garden.
Nice Russian kindergartens have wonderful homemade food, lots of activities. And most importantly – the Russian language.
Few of the children who start going to kindergarten with English, then speak Russian. This is more of an exception.
Richmond Hill is big, from Highway 7 to Aurora.
Well, you see, everyone has their own priorities, if for you this is the Russian language, then of course; Are you not afraid that by school the child will not really know English after the Russian kindergarten? or will you go to a Russian school? and if you still go to a Canadian school, the Russian language will disappear with time, but it will be a difficult adaptation to school. I have a foster kid who lived in Russia for 8 years, here for a year there were horns and legs from the Russian, given the fact that my husband and I speak mostly Russian with him. And in Russia I finished the first class well.
No, we’re fine with English. Russian is not only spoken, but also read and written. There are no problems with English. They study wonderfully. They read a lot. The eldest (6th grade) passed the gifted test, is engaged in this program, she also participates in all literary circles, participates in some city school competitions, and also brings diplomas.
And all of our friends, and there are quite a lot of them, children who are now in the senior classes, have gone the same way – a Russian kindergarten, then a regular school. None of them had any problems with English. And everyone speaks Russian.
does the 6th grader have many Russian friends?
you wouldn’t equate the realities of your village with Toronto, we have a lot of Russian children in any school, Russian doesn’t disappear anywhere with them, especially if they speak it at home. My child, sitting at home with a Russian grandmother, speaks excellent English.
as for me, the main thing is that the children are well looked after and well fed in the garden, and we can develop at home.
Sorry, not for you, but for Bonet. <>
Excuse me, but where does your child speak English from if he/she hasn’t been to school yet?
as far as I know, if a child watches TV and communicates with older brothers and sisters, he speaks English. The children communicate with each other in English, as you know.
this question worried us ourselves) but apparently TV, an older sister and trips with parents on vacation and shopping to restaurants did their job. A lot! But, as written below, TV and communication with a brother, with girlfriends only in English make English great. At home with my parents, with me in Russian. With other grandparents on the phone, too, in Russian.
Children “grab” the tongue literally out of thin air. Even from snatches of speech on a walk or on TV.
I am sitting in the village not by compulsion, but by personal choice, I feel sick to look at Russian faces and all their show-offs, I went to Canada so as not to see why I should look for them here wait until the child goes to a Canadian school and when grandmother will no longer sit; Russian is preserved by those who tinker in the Russian community and mingle with Russians PERMANENTLY
at 6 pm will you sit down to develop him when he sleeps in an hour? Or only on Saturdays and Sundays?
what a horror, because you need to speak Russian at home! I know well-fed families where children were simply forbidden to speak English, they went to class up to 3 as new arrivals without English; they wanted to go to the sea for 2 months in February, the law is not written for Russians, think school
we only speak Russian at home (I somehow can’t imagine it any other way), that’s what my daughter has no problems with, it’s English!
our 1. 3 year old Russian grandmother sits with him at home, we do not watch TV, she communicates with Russians on the site. I already picked up English somewhere and even learned to translate
it’s not only what language you are at home, what lifestyle you lead and where the child still goes and with whom he communicates plays a big role, if friends are only Russian and communication in Russian, the garden is Russian , mom turns off cartoons and puts on disks with Russians – this will be a problem at school, I personally know such a family – a kid was born in Canada, barely started to speak English at school, and even not in grade 1
you child prodigy! he apparently learned 16 languages in the womb, you test him, for sure he also knows French, German, etc.
Well, Russian might start to deteriorate when she talks less to her parents, generally less, how much do teenagers talk to their parents? – not to mention grandparents, but more with friends who speak English; in general, what does it mean “he speaks beautifully” you need to figure it out (this is not for you personally, but for everyone here) – who has what standards and what they call wonderful
about a boy, I’m sure it’s some kind of problem if he doesn’t speak English well. Russian will leave easily if you don’t support it, but if English doesn’t come, then it means a problem, to a speech therapist
he got out of control and began to speak as much English as he wanted
speech therapist not only works with monolingual children, you have a very narrow idea, there is such a problem when a second language is not given in any way, doctors cope with this
No, not at all. Are you talking about exceptions? There are a lot of children around who are completely fluent and easily speak two languages, and some even three. and from preschool age.
At school for children: Russian-English, Greek-English, Italian-English, Arbian-English. Well, and Chinese-English, of course.
They speak their own language at home, at school and with friends in English. They keep their language.
do not invent, if you learned one language you are learning another, unless you can pronounce it and need help, all sorts of dyslexia dysgraphia dysarthria deafness are corrected in childhood; except perhaps some incredible “-iya” into foreign characters
And what time did he start speaking at all, he doesn’t speak any of our 1. 3, but everyone really understands him, but I think that he should start somehow, despite the bilingual family. But so that you didn’t even hear it. Did you speak early?
of course he knows: “Bye-Bye”, “Bye-Bye”, “Adiu” You don’t have to be a child prodigy. He is enough on the street in the pool, in the store.
per year. By the way, his first word was “Walk.” In our family, they are afraid to pronounce this word, because if he hears it, he runs to the door, and you won’t get out.
What kind of children do they go to bed at 7 o’clock? Personally, my early 9-10 do not fit, so half past 6 pm is just that, especially if you take into account that more than 30-40 minutes for a child of 3-4 years old, no development will go
I finally have a child who has long graduated from a Canadian school and I have already finished half of the university, so there is no need to learn the exchange. PS when you see Russians, I suppose in English. let’s move on right away, like I’m not like that, I’m waiting for the tram?)))))
I didn’t change my mind to switch to English with Russians, I HATE show-offs of any kind was your adult child born here? do not equalize those who came here with Russian already and those who taught him here from birth; my daughter came to Canada after the 3rd grade, so far she can do something in Russian, the adoptive one will also not forget for a long time, but in the younger one who started going to the Canadian kindergarten from 9 months, I’m not sure
my daughter arrived long BEFORE first grade, but she wasn’t born here, she speaks Russian very well, practically without an accent, sometimes she doesn’t understand humor or can distort a word, but she doesn’t have “I have a bad understanding” + she can quickly read a fairy tale to a Russian child and an article in the newspaper if necessary.

Dear Children
Flowers of Life… According to the Organization for Economic Development and Cooperation, Canada is one of the world’s most expensive kindergarteners. The average family, where both parents work, is forced to spend about 23 percent of their budget on this. And the province of Ontario confidently holds the lead in the race for the contents of parental pockets …
Thus, in particular, FAO, the Ontario Office of Financial Responsibility, three years ago reported the following figures for the average cost of a child in kindergarten: for an infant under 2 years old – $ 1320, after 2 years – $ 1080 , and for a preschooler – $940 monthly.
In fact, in the cities of the province this figure reaches $1,774 per month, or $21,288 per year.
Toronto comes first, followed by Markham, then Vaughn, Oakville, Mississauga, Kitchener and Richmond Hill. Of course, there are various subsidies, tax benefits, but in general they do not solve the problem of growing high prices.
And today, when the pandemic has not only disrupted the usual way of life, but has significantly changed the economic situation and the labor market itself, the question of “what to do with the child” has become even more acute for millions of Ontarian families.
And it’s no surprise that voters readily believed Trudeau’s Liberal promises to create a plan in the 2021 budget that would allocate $30 billion over the next five years to reduce kindergarten fees to an average of $10 per day. $9 will be allocated annually for these purposes..2 billion, and by the end of the future, 2022, the new system will achieve a 50% reduction in fees throughout the country, except for Quebec, where the cost of kindergartens is already minimal compared to other Canadian provinces.
But if seven provinces and one territory have already confirmed their readiness to join this promising plan, then Ontario and Alberta are in no hurry to get up and running. Perhaps, following the well-known saying that only cheese in a mousetrap is free.
In response to questions from reporters about the reasons for this, Ontario Minister of Education Stephen Lecce said the provincial government was open to discussing the details of the plan, but intended to continue negotiations to get more money while keeping funding for the current system, for example , kindergartens with an extended day.
Political ping-pong led to unexpected results. Today, some Ontarian municipalities are seeking opportunities to work directly with Ottawa.
The Toronto City Council heard a proposal to try to approach the federal government if Ontario still cannot find an acceptable consensus.
“High quality public daycare is critical to helping parents cope with the impact of the pandemic,” said proposal author, counselor Joe Cressy. – People don’t want to go back to work if they can’t find a place for their child in kindergarten within their family budget. Women especially suffer from this…”
Toronto’s initiative was greeted with enthusiasm in Hamilton. Members of the local committee on community services and emergencies made a decision to discuss the idea at the end of this month. So far, the city has been asked to explore the possibility of a direct agreement with Ottawa.
The Niagara region also decided not to wait for the weather by the sea, where local governments decided to consider options for an agreement that would allow participation in the implementation of the plan.
Carolyn Fearns of the Ontarian Better Kindergarten Coalition says municipalities’ tendency to override government shows growing dissatisfaction with the slow pace of progress on this all-important issue.
– I think the municipalities’ escalation of tactics is an attempt to draw attention to the problem, as if to say: hey, why is nothing moving, isn’t it time for you to seriously get down to business? she says. – Direct agreements between the capital and the cities are the last hope, in case the province fails to cope with the task.
“For years we’ve been asking the federal government for real financial support for kindergartens, and now they’ve finally done it,” Ferns says. – And to see it now in this state, due to the fact that Ontario is playing political games, is very disappointing …
“I don’t understand why Ottawa and the province still can’t agree on childcare,” lamented federal minister Carina Gould, Burlington MP and mother of a $10 a day kindergarten child . – We need political will to finally reach an understanding, because we are talking about a huge amount of money for Ontario.
Does this boundless generosity of Ford and his team bother you?

Houses
Upon enrolment, each student is placed in one of six “houses”: Champlain, Bishop Mountain, MacDonald, Thorne, Rose or Langton. Throughout the year, the houses participate in academic and athletic competitions to earn “points”. The winner is announced at the end of the year. House Points are earned at certain organized events throughout the year. Home Points can also be earned by bringing items to the various food or gift hoarders organized throughout the year, or items such as old cell phones, batteries and ink cartridges.
Student government
There are many student government initiatives in high school; the two main organizations are the Student Council and the prefects. The Student Council is a fully elected organization whose representatives are elected by students from each classroom. The purpose of the council is to represent the views of students and to promote and encourage the school spirit and community. [1] Prefects are a select team of students who strive to develop leadership, direction and spirit in the student community while maintaining a positive atmosphere. They act as an active voice representing the student body and serve as a bridge to school administration and faculty.
The best questions to get kids to talk and open up about their life
One great way to encourage children to open up is to make a habit of cherishing daily conversations with your child.
Conversations build connection. When children feel connected to their parent, they are more likely to feel well and be cooperative.
Why should you ask your child questions?
When we pause and listen, we can really get to know so much about our children. Sometimes our children don’t readily open up and share about their day.
It can be frustrating when all you want is to talk to your child and you are met with a frown and heavy sighs…Ever felt like you don’t know what to ask to get a child to open up?
Most parents really do want to know about their child’s thoughts, dreams and concerns. To raise resilient, happy children, It’s important to listen to our children often. Being invited into the child’s world allows us to be helpful and supportive parents.
So how to get kids talking?
The more our children feel they can talk to us about the little things, the more likely they will be to open up about the bigger issues later on.
We give our children an amazing gift by being simply present when they talk to us. When we hold judgement and listen to our children with the intent to discover, support and connect, magic happens!
Here is a list of 30 questions for kids.
Some questions are silly and some are serious.
All the questions found here can encourage conversations between parents and children.
If you wrote a book, what would you name the main character and where would he go?
What is your favorite thing to do?
If you could design a t-shirt, what would you draw or write on it?
What was your favorite part of your day/school/activity…?
What is your favorite memory about being ___ years old?
If the story of YOU became a movie, how would the movie end?
Do you have any jokes to tell me?
What’s the funniest thing you saw today/this week?
How would you describe a perfect day for you?
If we had an airplane to take us on vacation right now, where would you want to go?
If we could go to (insert name of favorite place) but couldn’t use a car to get there, how do you think we could get there?
If you could have any animal in the world as a pet, where would you go to get it and what would it be?
If you could do something just like your friend (use name of friend) what would you do?
If you could do something like your Dad/Mom do, what would you want to be able to do?
If you could change anything about school what would it be?
If you could change anything about our family what would it be?
If you could change anything in the world, what would you change and how?

50 Fun Questions To Get Kids To Open Up and Start Talking
More Parenting Articles
As parents, we all know how many questions children ask. A recent study has shown that young children ask over 300 questions a day. While it’s easy to get frustrated with the constant “why,” answering these questions ensures that your child knows that they can talk to you. The important thing is to always be honest with your children and if they ask you a question you don’t know the answer to, then tell them you aren’t sure and that maybe they can help you find the answer.
But what if you could turn the tables on your children and ask them the questions. After all, this will make sure that your children have inquiring minds, have a better vocabulary, and will mimic the behaviour of their parents. So you will be showing them how to ask a good question!
How To Get Kids Talking
Think about it like this, if our children are comfortable talking to us about all the little things that go on in their lives or that are on their minds, they are far more likely to feel they can talk to us when there are bigger issues.
As parents, caregivers, or an adult in a child’s life we can provide them with the most precious gift of all by just being present. Putting down our mobile phones and really listening when they talk, showing a want to discover and learn who they are allows true magic to happen! Here is our list of 50 funny questions to ask kids.

The Final Thought
Do not panic if your child is less than thrilled with your sudden interest in their life or about answering your questions. It may seem a little awkward to begin with especially if this is something you haven’t done before. But the point of the questions is to ensure that your children feel comfortable talking to you about anything in their lives and that they know you are always actively listening to them!
The BEST Questions for Kids Instead of “How Was Your Day?”
ByKelly Holmes, author and Certified Parent Educator
Inside: Stop asking your kid “How was your day?” because it doesn’t work anyway. Here are the best questions for kids that will actually foster a fun conversation.
Every evening at the dinner table, my husband and I used to fall into this age-old parenting trap.
“How was your day?” “Fine.”
“What did you learn today?” “Nothing.”
“Who did you play with at recess?” “No one.”
But one-word answers don’t foster a good discussion, and they certainly don’t help us reconnect with our kids after a long day apart from each other.
And yet, it’s absolutely essential that we do reconnect because if we don’t, we pay the price later.
When we’re all feeling connected, the kids jump in to help clean up after dinner – without being asked. They pay attention the first time we ask them to brush their teeth and get jammies on. When we tuck them into bed, they’re all giggles and smiles.
But when we’re all feeling disconnected? We get less cooperation, more power struggles, and grumbles and grimaces at bedtime instead.
Ready for a solution now? Get these fun printable family conversation starters and use them at the end of every day to reconnect with your child.
What If We Asked Our Kids Better Questions?
I realized I needed to solve the problem of one-word responses so we could have a family conversation that leaves everyone’s connection tank overflowing.
But as busy parents, we’re too exhausted to be creative and come up with questions to ask kids that will get a real, meaningful conversation going. So my first step was to find the best questions for kids that actually work at getting your kids to open up.
You can find lots of questions for children online, but you have to wade through quite a few duds, like:
“What’s your favorite number?” or
“Why do you think some kids disobey their parents?” or
“Frozen or The Incredibles?”
In other words: Boring, loaded, or queued up for another one-word answer that takes the conversation nowhere.
Same goes with the ready-made conversation starters you can find on Amazon. After reading tons of reviews, I found out the store-bought versions of “questions of the day for kids” had the same problem – questions that were duds, plus the questions didn’t work well for a wide range of child ages.

Here’s How These 150 Questions for Kids Are Different
I devoured every list of questions for kids I could find, and I compiled the ultimate list of all the best questions for kids. These were my criteria:
Open-ended questions for kids work best, like “How” and “Why” questions. These types of questions get kids talking because they open the door to more than just one-word answers.
Any questions to ask your kids should be something adults can answer, too. Most kids don’t appreciate feeling like they’re put on the spot to perform like circus animals for the benefit of the surrounding adults. Plus, a conversation where everyone’s contributing is more fun anyway.
No boring questions. Research shows people love talking about themselves – but not if you ask boring questions.
And this one’s important: Any questions to ask your child shouldn’t feel like a test or a lecture. For example, “Why do you think some kids disobey their parents?” may give you some interesting answers, but your kid could feel like you’re setting a trap.
I waded through pages and pages of questions for kids to find the absolute best questions that kids and adults will enjoy. The final list includes 150 awesome questions for kids, which gives you enough for nearly six months of questions of the day for kids.

Print. I designed these questions of the day for kids to print on Avery business cards for inkjet† or laser printers. Or you can just print them on regular paper or card stock, then cut the cards out or fold and tear to get a charmingly casual look.
Drop the cards into an empty bowl or spare mason jar, put it on your dining room table, and you’re DONE. Or to take it one step further, you can hole-punch them in one corner and put the whole set on a book ring like this. That makes the cards extra portable so you can throw them in your purse, car, or carry-on for a plane ride.

Pick a question or two to ask your child after school or at dinner every night, then take turns answering the question – and get ready to feel closer to your kids than ever before. As another option, you can keep your cards in the car and ask a question on the way to or from school for an extra dose of connection!
Before You Go: 4 Quick Tips for the Best Conversations
To keep the conversation moving with your kids, here are a few tips that have worked well for us while using these family conversation starters:
Try to just listen. For some of these questions for kids, you may be tempted to jump in and give the “right” answer. But your child learns way more from a healthy discussion than from a one-sided lecture.
For toddlers and preschoolers, you may have the best luck with having your youngest child go first because otherwise, they may just repeat what the person before them said. And that’s still adorable, but it’s also fun to hear what your youngest child really thinks.
If your kid says “I don’t know,” explain that there’s no right or wrong answer. You just want to hear their ideas. If they still don’t have an answer to give, you can say, “I can give you a minute and come back to you” then move to the next person in the car, at the dinner table, and so on.
If your child’s answer happens to shock you, try saying “Hmm” or “Interesting” – something noncommittal that will give you time to think of a calm response. Because if you freak out on your kid, they’ll clam up. These conversations should be fun, not stressful!

Having conversations with our kids is critical for building a solid foundation of trust, demonstrating steadfast love, and teaching them how to grow as a young person. These 50 questions to ask your kids are a great starting point for conversations around the dinner table.
As parents, our schedules are usually packed with things to do and places to go. It can be so easy to rush from one thing to the next, causing us to miss out on opportunities to connect with our children. Talking to our kids is a chance to get to know the depths of who God made them to be and to watch them learn and grow.
Having intentional conversations with our children demonstrates steadfast love and encourages them to share their triumphs and challenges with us. It is a beautiful opportunity for us as parents to show our children that we are listening to them and are genuinely interested in what they have to say.
Asking our children questions is a wonderful way to teach them and help them grow. Inviting your kids into conversation can create a solid foundation of trust and love for the rest of their lives. One of the best times to start these conversations is at the dinner table.
Starting Conversations with Your Kids
Starting a conversation with your kids, however, can sometimes be easier said than done. Many questions that parents ask their kids can easily be shut down with a simple “yes” or “no” answer. It’s important that we ask our children open ended questions that leave plenty of room for them to answer and elaborate.
It’s also important to make the questions fun and interactive. One way to do this might be to get a large jar. Have your children help decorate it. Then, on colorful slips of paper, write out all of the questions you can think of that might start a good conversation. Fill the jar with the questions and at dinner time each night, have your children take turns drawing a question out of the jar. The question of the night can then become a family discussion. This can be a fun and interactive way to get your children excited and engaged about having conversations with the whole family.
Remember, the sky is the limit when it comes to what questions you might choose to ask your kids. The questions can be tailored to your child’s individual interests. For instance, if they are interested in superheroes, or certain book/movie characters, or cars — you can word your questions to reflect that interest.

As a latchkey kid, Wendy Speake turned to sugar for comfort. Every Friday, she would pedal to the candy show and use her allowance to fill her bag with candy.

Why does your throat hurt if you get your feet wet?
Let’s first see how true this is. Once, scientists set up such an experiment. They asked half of 180 volunteers to hold their bare feet in a basin of cold (about 10 degrees) water for 20 minutes. The other half kept their shod feet in empty basins for the same amount of time (these participants must have felt pretty stupid). After these manipulations, the researchers found out who developed cold symptoms within 4-5 days. In the first group of such people there were 13 out of 90, in the second – only 5 out of 90. That is, on average, the chance of getting sick increases, but not much.
In fact, there is no such strict relationship between wet feet and a sore throat, which is indicated in the wording of the question: if you get your feet wet, it will not always cause a sore throat or other cold symptoms. And it’s not about getting wet at all – otherwise, after any swim, we would have been lying around with a cold, and the idea of spending a vacation at sea would be akin to some kind of extreme adventure. The point here is that wet feet can get cold. Therefore, we will try to figure out if there is a connection between hypothermia of the legs (or another part of the body) and an increased risk of catching a cold.
In general, there are quite a lot of such “folk signs” regarding the causes of a cold. Someone must have been told in childhood that he would catch a cold if he went outside without a hat or with a freshly washed wet head. Someone – that you should not eat ice cream on the street. Grigory Oster in the book “Petka the microbe” even had such a character – Anginka, who lived in every third glass of ice cream: “If you eat one – nothing, the second – still nothing, but if you eat the third – Anginka lives there” .
Why a cold is usually associated with cold feet or head, and not with other organs, is not very clear. Some scientists believe that people think that these parts of the body are the most vulnerable in the street, because they freeze most often. And earlier it was easy to imagine that the disease “penetrates” the body along with the cold, especially in the “pre-Pasteur” era, when it was not known what exactly causes the symptoms of a cold (Louis Pasteur, who can be considered the founder of microbiology, let me remind you, lived in the XIX century).
But now we know that the throat never hurts on its own. Pain is usually a sure sign of inflammation: pain neurons respond to cell death in its focus. And inflammation is an attack of the immune cells of our body on the enemy. The enemies of disease are usually viruses or bacteria.
There are practically no places on our body where some bacteria or viruses would not live (and we are full of them inside), but this does not mean that we are constantly sick: most of them are absolutely harmless (and some are even useful) . Harmful microbes can also be present, but they are usually so few that we don’t notice them. Inflammation (which we think of as a disease) starts if these potentially dangerous bacteria or viruses get a chance to multiply and take advantage of this chance before the immune system can cope with them.
Another way to get sick is to pick up some microbe from the external environment that the immune system has not encountered before and therefore does not know how to fight it (the SARS-CoV-2 virus that caused the current coronavirus pandemic is a great example of this new dangerous pathogen). In principle, a bacterium or virus can enter the body through any hole in the body, but the respiratory tract is the most convenient for many of them: air constantly circulates through them and there are many mucous membranes through which it is easy to get into the blood.
So, the throat is vulnerable primarily because inhaled viruses and bacteria enter directly into it. But what about cold feet? And do they even have a connection with the common cold?
The cold itself, of course, does not inhabit our respiratory tract with either bacteria or viruses. It can only increase their chances of getting there – this is exactly what happens in winter, when people, trying to keep warm, accumulate in the premises. Cold can help pathogens “jump” between people faster: when we heat a room, excess water from surfaces evaporates and flies away, and air humidity drops. At the same time, on the one hand, viruses begin to be better transmitted through the air, because they do not stick to water drops, and on the other hand, the mucous membranes of our mouths and noses dry out and crack, making it easier for pathogens to enter the body. It turns out that it is not cold as such and not wet feet that are the culprits of a cold, but warm rooms, in which everyone strives to warm up.
In addition, cold can give germs another chance to colonize the human throat, because some viruses reproduce better in the cold than in the heat. But this also works only if the pathogen has already entered the respiratory tract of a person who then went outside (the inhaled cold air cools the tissues with which it contacts).
Finally, the cold can make it difficult for our immune system to fight off unwanted colonizers. When we get cold, our blood vessels constrict – this is necessary so that less blood flows to the surface of the body and it does not lose excess heat. Immune cells travel through the body along with the blood, so in a frozen person, fewer “fighters” get into the respiratory tract and they may not be able to cope with the enemy that has appeared.
And some immune cells simply work worse in the cold – for example, they secrete less antiviral substances. If, after not too long and strong freezing, it turns out to warm up sharply, and in such a way that blood flow is restored throughout the body (for example, you can take a hot shower), then this will slightly reduce the chances of getting sick, because immune cells will begin to circulate more actively throughout the body and therefore more likely to be able to overcome the onset of a cold.
Thus, cold and wet feet do not in themselves cause disease. But they increase your chance of catching a cold if carriers of dangerous germs are walking around, or if a failed pathogen already lives inside you, which under normal conditions cannot multiply and cause real illness.

What will an ant do if it is far from the anthill?
What will an ant do if it is far from the anthill (out of reach)? For example, if he got into a boat and ended up on the other side. Or left in a car for a hundred kilometers from the “home”. Will he search for his anthill for the rest of his life?
Since childhood, I remember well the cartoon “Ant’s Journey”, the main character of which, blown away by the wind far from his anthill, gets home on caterpillars, spiders and grasshoppers, as if on a ride. In reality, ants have to rely only on their own navigation mechanisms to find their way to their native nest, which can vary significantly between species (and there are about 15,000 of them). But in any case, the range of these mechanisms is usually limited to tens or hundreds of meters: once outside this distance, the ant will be completely disoriented, like a small child lost in an unfamiliar city.
For example, many ants move along scent trails marked with trace pheromones, special substances that they secrete from various glands on their abdomen. The more ants run along a particular route, the more pheromone they leave there. It is enough for an ant to stumble upon one of these paths, and then, as if on rails, he will be able to come along it to the house. For the first time, the existence of this navigation mechanism was guessed by the Swiss naturalist Charles Bonnet, who lived in the 18th century. He ran his finger across the ant trail and then watched as the ants crowded on either side of this invisible line, not daring to cross it. But even if such a slight break in the pheromone trail throws the ants into confusion, then what can we say about our ant, carried away many kilometers from the nearest scent trail…
Trace pheromones are especially important for ants with poor eyesight or who are completely blind, like the South American Eciton army ants ( Eciton ). Huge columns of these ants, consisting of hundreds of thousands of individuals, move through the rainforest in search of prey, destroying everything in their path. They have no permanent nest, only temporary bivouacs. Imagine that Batu’s horde, invading Russia, would consist entirely of blind men – in the same way, Ecitons make their raids, relying solely on touch and pheromone communication in order to keep up with each other. The Ecitons seem to refute by their example the well-known saying that if the blind lead the blind, then both will fall into the pit.
In contrast, other ants rely on sight in addition to pheromones to navigate their terrain. They can find their way home by memorizing the shape of nearby trees. At the same time, it is the general outlines that are important for ants, and not specific details like individual branches or colors. In one of the experiments, scientists made a special arena for the Australian desert ants Melophorus bagoti with a black plastic border, the contours of which resembled the bushes and trees they knew. An ant, caught near the nest and placed in such an arena, began to move in the direction indicated by the outline of the side, regardless of how the arena was turned relative to the cardinal points.
But if the ant is outside the familiar visual landscape, then it will most likely not be able to find its way home. This was shown by an experiment conducted with ants Myrmecia pyriformis , which also live in Australia. During it, scientists cut down three trees not far from the path along which these ants run from the nest to hunt. The general outlines of the crowns have changed, but not that much. However, immediately after the felling, the ants began to dodge and linger a lot more, instead of going directly to their hunting grounds (they always hunt the same tree). It took three days for the ants to get used to the changed landscape – and now imagine that one of them would suddenly be thrown into a neighboring grove. I doubt very much that he would have been able to go back in a completely unfamiliar environment.
To choose the right direction, some ants are guided not only by their immediate surroundings, but also by the sky. This was first shown in 1911 by the Swiss entomologist Felix Santschi, who experimented with ants in North Africa. When the ants returned to the nest, Sanchi blocked the Sun for them, at the same time showing its reflection in the mirror. This simple trick was enough to knock the ants off their path and send them in the opposite direction.
However, the mirror experiment does not work with all species: some ants are not so easy to confuse because they take into account not only the position of the Sun, but also polarized sunlight. Its partial polarization occurs when passing through the atmosphere, which transmits light waves whose vibrations lie in the same plane. Thanks to polarized light, the ant can determine where the Sun is, even if it is hidden behind the clouds (well, or was blocked by the experimenter).
The sun and polarized light play a special role in the life of desert ants, because they live in the middle of a flat and variable landscape, where there are practically no major land landmarks. But even for them, the sky alone is not enough: ants always need some additional information to determine the location of the nest. In this sense, desert ants-runners ( Cataglyphis ), real aces of navigation, which have been studied by more than the first generation of scientists, are indicative. These ants rush along the hot sand at an incredible speed (up to 1 meter per second), looking for insects that have died from the heat. They always hunt alone and do not leave pheromones. However, the running ant, which can move more than 150 meters from the nest in search of prey (for humans, this is equivalent to a distance of about 40 km), returns in a straight trajectory. The ant builds its return route taking into account the trajectory of the path traveled (this navigation method is called coordinate reckoning). Consequently, even this experienced “tramp” will not be able to find his way from the place where he did not come with his own feet.
So, alas, the fate of a lost ant that flew away from the anthill on a leaf, swam away on a boat or left in a car, will be rather sad. Even if he focuses on the sky, he will never return to his native nest. There is one consolation: such an ant will not suffer for a long time. As anyone who, like me as a child, tried to keep ants alone in jars knows, social insects do not tolerate separation from the collective very well, and even with the right food, they die in a matter of days.
As experiments show, being alone, the ant simply does not know what to do with himself – he is in constant anxiety and constantly moves back and forth, which leads to large expenditures of energy. In addition, a lone ant begins to have problems with digestion: food accumulates in its stomach, but does not pass further through the intestines. Ants regurgitate the contents of their stomach to each other in the course of trophallaxis, and, apparently, without this social interaction, the settings of their digestive system fail.
Interestingly, if an ant was cut off from the nest along with several of its fellows, then it will feel much better than being completely alone. For example, a lone carpenter ant will live only six days, and in a group of ten individuals, its life expectancy will be 66 days, that is, 10 times longer.

Top 10 children’s questions that puzzle parents (and how to answer them)
All children, starting from the age of 2-3 years, become zealous “pochemuchki”. This is an indicator of the normal development of the child as a person, every day he learns the world and no longer just accepts it as it is, but is interested in every little thing and wants to know more about everything.
Contents
Parents, of course, should encourage the child’s curiosity, not dismiss or ignore questions. And their crumbs set an unmeasured amount. From the simplest “where did the ice come from”, “what does the crocodile eat”, funny “why don’t the kolobok’s eyes get dirty, since it rolls on the ground”, “mom, who was at home with me while you were little”, to such, on which it is difficult to answer immediately “why the sky is blue”, “what is higher than the clouds”, “why the water does not burn”.
You will find answers to the most difficult questions on the net, rephrase, but how to deal with those “inconvenient” ones to which you know the answers, but this knowledge is either not for the child yet, or you are afraid to influence the baby badly with your own answer.
Consider the most popular “uncomfortable” questions and figure out how to answer them crumbs.
1. Where do babies come from?
Perhaps the most difficult question for parents. Usually, moms and dads hang out, giggle, make excuses, say that it’s too early for a baby to think about such questions. If you even for a second made it clear to the child that you hesitated, what good, shy, believe me, this topic will not let him go for a long time. And it’s better for him to know your version than for older children to tell him the answer to a burning question.
Saying babies are born in cabbages or feathered storks throw them up is a bit old. You don’t need to fool around. The truth can be easily explained: “Dad put a small grain in my mother’s stomach. Then the seed met the egg. Starting from this egg, a small creature began to develop. And after 9 months, a baby came out of the stomach.
Another option – you can say: “In order for children to appear, a man and a woman must fall in love and get married, then a tiny baby appears in the mother’s stomach, just like a worm, it grows, like you do now, and then, when it is no longer enough space, he is born. Usually, this answer is enough for the crumbs, and if he is not interested in the details, then you do not go into them either. An older child may be interested in how the child got into the mother’s stomach at all, then you can say that “mom and dad have special cells, when they meet, then a tiny baby turns out of them”, when asked how they meet, you can offer a kiss and hug version.
Usually schoolchildren already know everything themselves, television, the Internet, communication bear fruit, but if an already conscious child turned to you for explanations, you will have to tell everything in essence. You are uncomfortable and ashamed, buy a good book, appropriate for the age, where everything is correctly described.

2. Why do you say that I am beautiful, but my classmates do not think so? Why can’t I like it?
A child living in a family filled with love and tenderness, encountering hostile children in a kindergarten or school, may wonder why he is considered ugly or stupid. This question is especially asked by children aged 11-13, in adolescence, when they begin to be very critical of themselves and their appearance, it is at this age that intolerance towards others is generated to a greater extent, aggression appears among children.
You can’t say that a child simply does not pay attention to such children, first you need to talk about the subjectivity of people’s perception, then show your attitude, compare with yourself and your own problems at that age.
For example: “Everyone has different ideas about beauty and abilities, some people like thin ones, others are full. It’s like movies or books, some people like adventures, others like comedies, this does not mean that comedies are better, or vice versa, everyone just has different sympathies. I really like you, what big blue eyes you have and a charming smile. If I were a girl your age, I would really like you. There are sure to be those who think you are very cute and smart. They used to tease me too long, but that’s okay, my dad fell in love with me, and I have many friends. If all people liked the same thing in appearance, then we would have become absolutely identical long ago or died out.
If a teenager really has problems with appearance, do not limit yourself to one conversation, help him correct the situation. For example, sign up for a gym together or pick up new stylish clothes, change glasses for lenses, in general, eliminate the reason why your child cannot join the society of peers.
At the same time, remember that teenagers can be aggressive not only to those who look “wrong”, but also to too beautiful, smart, sociable or withdrawn, that is, absolutely to any people. Sometimes the problem can be solved only by changing the environment of the child.
3. Who do you love more, sister/brother or me?
When to expect such a question? – up to 7 years, most often soon after the appearance of the youngest child in the family. Such a question arises in the eternal rivalry of sisters and brothers, which arises on the basis of jealousy towards parents. It is important for you to let your child know that your love for them is boundless, and despite the fact that they are so different, you love them equally. Do you love your mom and dad the same? This is how we love our children. Say that your love is enough for everyone, both for them and for other relatives.
Never manipulate a child by trying to get something out of him in exchange for words of love. The phrase “I love your sister more because she is an excellent student” will not cause a desire to study, but only jealousy and quarrels.
4. Why am I me?
Asking why he was born exactly like this, with such appearance, such abilities, the child begins to realize himself as a person, different from others, and shows individuality. Usually this issue begins to concern the child from about 4 years old, but there are exceptions.
You can explain the situation like this: “Any person combines what he was born with, what he learned, what he became. From birth, we get the appearance inherited from our parents, gender, health, and then habits, taste, skills, likes and dislikes gradually appear, all that you can do. All of this is what makes up a person. We are all born each in our family, in a certain city, country, we are influenced by people and events, that’s why we become what we are. There are no identical people, there are similar, but not the same.
5. Why did you give birth to me?
Usually a child asks such a question from the age of 3 to 5, and then at a transitional age, when he lacks your attention, care and approval or tries to soften the punishment. Another baby can manipulate you in this way, from the category “why did you give birth to me if you can’t take me to the sea”.
Your move: “We love each other very much, so we started a family, there are always children in a complete family, they are like the fruit of love and tenderness of parents. We really wanted to have our continuation, a smart, beautiful child, and therefore we gave birth to just such, you. Let your child understand how special he is, how you wanted him and waited.
Since this question almost always comes up when the child wants an extra portion of attention and care, it is worth telling him as much as possible about how much you love him, listing his positive qualities and praising him. If the child is simply manipulating you and he needs some kind of material “confirmation” of your words, then you don’t need to scatter on conversations, explain your decision about the controversial moment and don’t go on about the crumbs.

6. Will I die?
Babies can ask this question as early as 3-4 years old, of course, they still do not fully understand the meaning of the finiteness of everything that exists, children learn this much later, at this stage they are interested in why someone or something ceases to exist, to be beside. A similar question may arise when a baby suddenly faces the death of a loved one, or their own pet.
When answering such a sensitive question, one should not go into explanations of the inevitable death of all living beings, describe how they die, what they feel, etc. Speak more streamlined: “All animals, people, even plants, have their own lifespan. And you have your time too. But first you will live a very long happy life, go to kindergarten, go to school, go to college, you will also once have your own family, you will give birth to children, you will have a good job, you will travel a lot and discover new things. In order to live your life well and for a long time, you need to take care of yourself and your health, remember about safety, strive for the best and remember about safety.
Try to be as exhaustive as possible so that the child doesn’t get stuck on the topic. If you belong to any religion, adopt its tenets. If you are an atheist, do not rush to “please” the three-year-old with the physiological details of death, get by with general phrases. If the child is still very young, then come up with some things that explain where dead people and animals disappear to. Do not be afraid to say that the grandmother is now looking at us from the sky, and the dead cat just ran away to the groom cat.
If the child is older than 6, pay attention to the fact that the afterlife does not exist, at least in the form that modern horror films about vampires, zombies and ghosts like to show.
7. Why don’t I have as many toys as my friend?
Did this happen to your child, he came from a friend and said, Sasha has so many toys, but I don’t have such a fifth car as his.
This is actually a very good topic for discussion. After all, these are the basics of financial literacy and the proper distribution of funds. In this case, you need to explain to the child how money is distributed in the family and how much is allocated for toys and entertainment.
Explaining the basics of first financial literacy is very important. The child should be told how money is made, that for this mom and dad go to work and perform many tasks there.
Explain that everything that appears in your house – food, clothes, and toys, including electricity, gas, water – cost money, so you can’t spend it thoughtlessly. “You already have so many cars, will you be happier if there are more of them, maybe it’s better to spend money on going to the circus? If we spend all the money on toys, what will our whole family live on then.
Offer your child an alternative, if you want to buy something, earn money. Give him some housework and “pay” the agreed amount for it. Let the child try to save up a certain amount, and then he will no longer want to spend this money on a 5 car, because he got it with difficulty.

8. How are boys different from girls?
This question most often implies that the baby has already seen the differences in the male and female genital organs. For example, in kindergarten, where the toilet is often shared. Therefore, external signs of the type, skirts and trousers, caps and bows are indispensable.
For a small child, it is enough to say that it is so conceived by nature, this is how boys differ from girls, because if their genitals were the same, how could they be distinguished apart from clothes. For an older baby, it can be clarified that such a structure is necessary so that later, when the boys and girls grow up, they can become mom and dad.
9. Why do you fight with dad, you don’t love each other?
Quarrels in front of a child are, of course, unnecessary, but if this happens, do everything so that the baby does not doubt the strength of your union.
Say: “Every person has their own opinion, but you, too, are sometimes capricious and make demands. So it is with us, sometimes we disagree and argue, and then we come to a common conclusion, and again everything becomes good. Of course, we love each other, we are a family. ”

10. Does Santa Claus really exist?
Think before you honestly answer the question of the crumbs, do you want to deprive the kid of a fairy tale. If a child saw how on the eve of the holiday you yourself hide gifts, but do not want to kill faith in Santa Claus, say that he was in a hurry, so he gave you a gift and asked to put it under the tree. If the child is already older and has begun to guess everything himself, you can tell that a good wizard lives in our hearts, that people specially dress up in him so that the holiday is truly fabulous.
Tips for Parents: How to Answer Tough Questions
Although the questions may vary, there are a few general rules that will help you to keep calm when your child asks difficult questions:
Do not dismiss your child and do not send him to other relatives, even if you don’t like the question or it seems frivolous, you are the main source of knowledge, let him deal with you in sensitive matters better than think up God knows what, or hear unrealistic versions from peers;
Do not call questions indecent, incorrect, this will only warm up the child’s interest;
Do not be lazy to choose words that are understandable to the child;
Specify why he is interested in this or that topic, how he learned about it;
Don’t give more details than the baby needs at the moment;
Do not show your embarrassment and awkwardness at the question;
Explain as much as possible until the baby is satisfied with the answer. Do not stop talking until the child understands everything;
Do not deceive and do not think, if you can safely do without it. Children feel this very well and next time they will go to someone else for answers;
Talk while being on the same level. To do this, put the child on your lap, or sit on the floor next to him;
Talk in a calm environment, preferably in private.

Ask no more than 2-5 questions per evening. It’s better than bored with a flood of questions.
Try not to criticize the child for his or her opinion. Criticism stifles the conversation. Everyone has the right to their opinion, their choice. You need to learn to respect this right.
Teen does not want to answer a question? Then don’t pressure him. Just say: “Okay, I understand, this is an uncomfortable question for you. When you want, then you can tell, and I promise that I will try to understand you.
Children don’t like interrogation-like questions. Such questions are not safe territory for them. They don’t know where they will lead them.
Parents need to remember that children evade answers because:
They are afraid of trouble;
They are not interested in questions;
They don’t see their parents’ genuine interest because of standard questions;
Questions too complex for their perception to give a sincere answer.
What will be the result then? Monosyllabic answers, short conversation and poor communication. Unfortunately, this is the standard set of many families.
Conclusion
One of the best ways to understand your children is to ask questions. But, of course, questions for children should be correct, intriguing questions that they will want to answer.
As a hint, we have compiled this list of questions for children and things that may be of interest to a teenager. Thanks to these questions, you can not only improve relationships with children, but also help you learn more about their views and experiences?
Believe me, you may be surprised by what you find out!
I like the article I don’t like the article
We recommend watching a video where Urgant successfully uses questions in communicating with children.
To help a child understand the world around him (why the earth is round, why the sun shines only during the day, etc.), it is enough to translate a scientific language that is difficult for children to understand into a simple and accessible one.
The situation is more complicated with questions about relationships. It is important here not to lie, but also not to be so truthful and straightforward as to injure. Parents should choose words depending on the age of the child, his state of mind. So, for example, a biologically non-native child should not be told about the fact of adoption in adolescence or during those periods of life when he is very vulnerable (during illness, parental divorce, etc.). However, it is worth emphasizing once again that it is necessary to tell the child the truth : the presence of family secrets can play a cruel joke in the future.
Unfortunately, there are no general templates for answers to children’s “difficult” questions. It all depends on the emotional state of the child and his age. However, the examples below can be used as a guide.
Where do babies come from?
As a rule, children aged 3-5 are satisfied with the answers:
From their mother’s tummy. The natural way. Because mom and dad really wanted you.
Getting older, the child begins to “dig” deeper, continuing to ask questions like “how exactly?”, “What is this natural way?” In this case, you can talk about the process of gestation:
You appeared in your mother’s tummy, grew and grew and became so big that you could no longer fit there and was born.
You can touch on the biological side of the issue:
One mother’s and one father’s cells united, and that’s how you appeared.
Or you can just give a children’s book on this topic.
Will you (mom, dad) die?
All people die sometime, but it won’t be very soon. Then you will be very big and live far from us, you will have your own families and your own children. But while you are small, we will always be there.
Will I die?
All people die sometime, but it won’t be very soon. I think you will live a long and happy life.
Next, draw your child a picture of a happy life. Switch the child from the topic of death to the topic of life.
Why do you need to sleep at night?
We are very tired and we need to rest.
Explaining to a child under 5-7 years old that in the morning he will want to sleep instead of going to kindergarten, if he does not fall asleep now, is pointless. Children at this age do not know how to think “for the future.” Therefore, you just need to insist on your own.
Who do you love more: me or my brother (sister)?
I love you equally, but each in your own way. You as the eldest son, and him as the youngest. Why are you asking?
Here it is important to find out why the child has such questions. Most likely, it occurs in the child who, for some reason, received less attention. Explain the situation and reassure the baby that you love him and your sibling equally.
Why do you quarrel with mom (dad)?
All people sometimes quarrel. You and I also sometimes quarrel, but this does not mean that we love each other less. It just happens that you want to do it your way, and I want to do it my way. So it is with my mom and dad. But don’t worry, we’ll make up later anyway.
Why doesn’t our father (mother) live with us?
Dad (mother) and I met a long time ago and fell in love with each other, from this love you appeared. And now the love between us has passed, and we cannot live without love, so dad (mother) lives in another place. But we are still your parents, and we both love you. And you will see your dad (mom) at the weekend.

10 correct answers to tricky children’s questions
By correctly answering such a phrase, you form in the child’s mind such a wonderful quality as tolerance. In no case should you shame your son or daughter for public interest in unusual people.
Correct answer: “We are all different. People are tall and short, white and swarthy, fat and thin. And when a person is sick, he may also look different than usual. No need to point the finger at those who are different from the rest, because they may be offended. It’s better to ask me about it when no one will hear us.”
Question #7
Lyudmyla Kharlamova / Shutterstock.com
If the child is going to have a really painful procedure, then you will have to tell him the truth, along the way explaining that such treatment is necessary.
Correct answer: “The doctor is not evil, it’s just his job to fight diseases. You will be in a little pain, but without it you will never be healthy. I also had injections when I was little. It was very scary, but I managed. And you will definitely succeed!”
Question #8
Lyudmyla Kharlamova / Shutterstock. com
This question is often asked by children who subconsciously blame themselves for their parents’ quarrels. Let your son or daughter know that this is not their fault.
Correct answer: “Sometimes even the most loving people fight because they don’t always think the same way. Do the kids quarrel? Here are adults sometimes too! But we still reconcile, because we love each other and you very much!”
Question #9
Lyudmyla Kharlamova / Shutterstock.com
According to psychologists, such a question means that the child has begun to develop the ability to love people of the opposite sex.
Correct answer: “Each member of the family has a role to play. A grandmother cannot become a father, and a father cannot become a daughter. Therefore, you cannot become your mother’s husband. But you can still take care of her even when she gets old. And one fine day you will marry a beautiful girl, and you will have your own children. ”
Question #10
Lyudmyla Kharlamova / Shutterstock.com
Don’t pretend to be perfect parents. It is much more important that the child understands that not all of your actions need to be copied.
Correct answer: “Yes, I sometimes stay up late at the computer, but I really don’t want you to repeat my mistakes. This is my bad habit, which I will get rid of because I want to become better.”
Psychologist’s advice for all parents: a small child does not need to know more than he asked. Therefore, answer honestly, but as simply as possible!
We hope this parenting cheat sheet will help you satisfy your little “why” curiosity! And don’t forget to share it with other moms and dads. They will be very grateful to you!

Why do I get upset when I get hungry? – and other tricky questions that children ask. Dads found the answers
Once upon a time there were two ordinary cheerful fathers who wanted to feed their children the best food so that they grow up happy, healthy and smart. And every time they came to the store, they were upset that they could not find nutritious and tasty foods for their little ones. And in many products there were so many harmful additives that they could not be considered complete nutrition …
Dads thought about it and decided that the best way to feed their children healthy food is to make it yourself. They contacted leading Finnish doctors and scientists from the University of Helsinki and offered to jointly develop a complete diet for children. At the same time, they were able to find answers to some of the difficult questions that children love to ask. For example: why my tummy grumbles and why I get upset when I get hungry.
Why is my stomach grumbling ?
The tummy grumbles for two different reasons. Either he grumbles with happiness after a delicious dinner, or he hints to you that it’s time to eat. These sounds are made by the small intestine, which digests food and moves it further into the intestines.
If it’s been a long time since your last snack, substances in the small intestine called enzymes break down food and cause the small intestine to contract and the stomach to growl. If part of the food is already digested, then gases are formed there (yes, the same ones that you fart with) and these gases begin to growl when they move.
So, rumbling in the stomach means that either your tummy is happy, or it’s hungry, or you’re about to fart. But in any case, this is a normal and healthy process.
Either your tummy is happy, or it’s hungry, or you’re about to fart.
Why can’t you eat fast
?
It is a very bad habit to swallow food quickly without worrying. As soon as you put the first bite in your mouth, your body is already starting to prepare to digest food, even before you have finished chewing.
If you chew slowly, the body’s hormonal system turns on. The small intestine begins to produce substances (hormones) that tell your brain that you have begun to fill up and are no longer so hungry.
If you eat very fast, then the brain does not have enough time to understand that you are full and as a result you will eat much more than those people who eat slowly. So, if you eat fast, you run the risk of getting fat and maybe even getting sick. So please chew your food thoroughly and enjoy it to stay healthy and alert!
Chew your food thoroughly and enjoy it to stay healthy and alert!
Why am I upset when I get hungry
?
You probably noticed that when you haven’t eaten anything for a long time and are already very hungry, it is much more difficult for you to concentrate on something, and you start to get angry over trifles, get annoyed for no reason.
This is because our brain is powered by glucose (sugar) in the blood. All other organs can use other sources of energy, such as fatty acids, but our brain only consumes sugar. Therefore, when we take a long break between meals and our blood sugar levels drop, the body starts to protect the brain with the help of special substances, hormones. Hormones instruct the intestines and kidneys to produce more sugar.
Some of these hormones are stress hormones that animals produce in dangerous situations to escape predators. Therefore, we, as humans, become gloomy and dissatisfied when stress hormones in the blood reach the brain. The best way to avoid a bad mood is to eat regularly and varied, eat plenty of vegetables and whole grains, which will help regulate blood sugar levels. In addition, it will help to avoid spikes in insulin levels and a sharp drop in blood glucose levels.
And another piece of advice – eat first, then start arguing (or maybe you’ll forget about the quarrel by then)…
The best way to avoid bad mood is to eat regularly and varied.
Why can’t everyone eat everything
?
Some people are more sensitive to food. There are people whose bodies cannot digest certain foods, such as nuts or wheat. If they eat such a product, they will develop a skin rash or other unpleasant symptoms. It’s called hypersensitivity .
Some types of hypersensitivity are very serious and even life-threatening. In some cases, you can teach the body to digest problem foods, this is called desensitization . In other cases, our body does not tolerate some products at all, such as milk. This is called intolerance .
Also, some people taste foods differently than everyone else. Some people find certain tastes too strong or even disgusting. And they try not to eat bad food. For example, some people love cilantro, while others taste like soap.
There are also people with certain attitudes, beliefs, or they follow a certain religion, and therefore avoid certain foods. This does not mean that they cannot eat these foods, they simply choose not to.
For example, some people eat only plant foods and do not eat meat. And some of them do not eat any animal products at all, including milk and cheese. Other people consider the cow to be a sacred animal and consider it wrong to kill cows and eat their meat.
There are people who find the meat of dogs and cats quite tasty and eat it without any problems. And others do not eat meat because animal husbandry is harmful to nature. There are many different people on this planet and they all eat differently.
Why can’t you eat only sweets ?
Because it will be very bad for your teeth – there are too many “empty” harmful calories in sweets. And also because if you eat only delicious things, you will get fat and you will have many health problems when you grow up.
After all, if you eat only sweets, they will soon cease to be tasty, and you will no longer get the same pleasure from them. For different people, different foods can be delicious, but they are usually sweet, fatty or salty. Most of us will get nauseous if we eat too many goodies. And if you eat a variety of foods, you will feel cheerful and energetic!
If you eat only sweets, you will get fat and have many health problems when you grow up
And yet, sometimes you can treat yourself to delicious treats, but of course, in moderation.

Birthday quizzes for children aged 8-12 (with answers). Funny and funny
It usually takes a lot of time for teachers and parents to organize even the most insignificant children’s events. At the same time, there are rarely problems with the selection of mobile contests. More often the question arises: how to persuade the children to sit quietly for a while and how to hold a quiz.
When preparing questions for a quiz, there are several important points to consider:
Age of children. At school age, every year matters. What is interesting to seven-year-olds may already seem boring to eight-year-olds.
Interests. Favorite games, movies, books. This is one of the most important factors in choosing questions.
Venue.
The theme of the holiday, if any. For example, it could be a birthday in the style of pirates, paw patrol or fairy tales. Then most of the questions should correspond to the given topic.
Rules of organization
In addition to preparation, the organization of the quiz itself also plays an important role. Active children are sometimes not so easy to get interested in an intellectual game. There are a few tips that will help the organizers to cope with this task:

Teams can take turns answering questions, and for each correct answer they will receive a token. Whoever scores the most will win.
If there are not many children at the party, then each child can play for himself. You can conduct a quiz right at the table.
Before a question, children can be asked to choose a topic. That is, all questions will have to be divided into groups. For example, animals, plants, cartoons, sports and so on. Here everything will depend on the interests of the young company.
There must be musical accompaniment. It will be boring to answer questions in silence. For quizzes, it is better to choose rhythmic tracks without words.

– Tim Moody and Mike O’Halloran
Our Expert Group: Tim, writer and toy inventor, and Mike, writer and editor of The Greeting Card Poet, have always loved good riddles, puzzles, and trick questions. However, even in compiling this collection, they have been stymied more than a few times.
4 types of children’s questions that always puzzle parents
At first we don’t know what to answer about Santa Claus, and then we hesitate when a child is interested in the mechanisms of genetic mutations or the behavior of policemen at rallies. But the answer “This is a dark matter and beyond the control of the mind” cannot be considered satisfactory in the 21st century. Inna Pribora tells how to respond to the most difficult children’s questions.
Children perceive information in an interesting way. For example, you said forty times that it was time to brush your teeth, but the child missed this fact. But the casually dropped phrase that your mother-in-law resembles Hitler in profile, the child somehow remembered and repeated three times at a family dinner.
Experts find it very useful to ask questions. This, it turns out, is not a way to bring grandma and knock dad off the pantalik, but a powerful mechanism for cognitive development. “Dad, how can I get bigger warts?” is a request for information, an effective tool to get information about the world, navigate it and solve your problems. “When is it time to brush your teeth?” – the child has not yet formed such a request, so your lecture passed him by.
However, we, adults, with this restless “cognitive mechanism” have a hard time: some of the information can traumatize the child, some he will not understand at all, and to be honest, we ourselves do not know the answer to some questions. So you have to grumble: “Hm … Yes … You are still small. Grow up and you’ll know.”
It would be good if instead of such unintelligible mumbling we could have rescue strategies prepared. For example, such.
1. Questions that you are not ready to answer the truth
Mom, why am I going to die too? And my cat? And you?
Does the tooth fairy really exist?
Did dad really call the minister a bad word?
On the one hand, it’s great to support children’s illusions: let the child believe in miracles, eternal life, magic and good politicians. On the other hand, you are lying to a person who trusts you, disorienting him. The only thing that can save here is to remember the child’s request. You need to understand: it’s not a fact that now the child is asking exactly what you thought about.
First of all, specify what worries him and why. Don’t be afraid, ask clarifying questions. In many cases, it turns out that Kolya did not want to part with his faith in the tooth fairy, he was just worried if she was aware that his tooth was loose and he needed a gift. It is important for children to receive confirmation of many obvious things: yes, there will be a gift, yes, dad knows how to control himself, yes, the world is safe and the comet will not crash into the Earth.
This is especially important when the question concerns something terrible: death, war, violence. The main thing here is not to devote an hour to describing the black pages of history, but to give the child confidence that he is protected and loved, and ahead is a long, long life.
2. Questions you don’t know the answer to
Why does the hammerhead shark have a head like a hammer?
Why is Petya behaving like an idiot?
Will Russia ever rise from its knees?
Some questions take us by surprise. Yes, of course, you have heard about quantum energy, but now you are not ready to explain the mechanism of action on your fingers. It may turn out that fingers will not help much here. But, thank God, now we have the Internet! Instead of pretending that we did not hear what the child said there, we need to joyfully exclaim: “How wonderful that you ask about this! Great question! Let’s find the answer together!” It’s never a shame. Today we can try to figure out complex scientific areas (not about Santa Claus), share our emotions or construct interesting theories together without prejudice to our authority.
First, we show how to find information. While the parent and child are rummaging through the smartphone together, you can discuss why dad trusts some sites and not others. Secondly, it’s even better if you don’t find the answer right off the bat. Writing letters to specialists, going to the library, rummaging through reference books is a good move that will show the child how to be persistent in getting an answer, and find that in the end everything is available, you just have to make an effort. Thirdly, it helps you get closer and proves that even an adult and serious person like you is interested in all sorts of strange things like the shape of the nose of a burrowing wide-toed docodont.
There are educators who insist that we shouldn’t answer children’s questions right off the bat. Like, if we immediately answer the main question of life, the Universe and everything else, we kind of make it clear that the best way to gain knowledge is to trust authority.
A smarter move is to start reasoning with the child, try to build a logical picture
Ask what they think about this, what, for example, Russia’s prospects are based on past experience. Then you can read special sources, but trying to think before getting an answer is good practice anyway.
3. Questions that make you uncomfortable
What does “We can’t afford to play golf” mean?
How did it happen that my brother settled in your stomach? Can it be cancelled?
Why does Aunt Lyuba have such a wrinkled face? (The question, of course, was asked in the presence of Aunt Lyuba.)
Here the parent will need remarkable self-control, it is important not to evade, otherwise the question will be repeated in different variations. Calmly and honestly talk about your values: golf is not among the life priorities of your family. Therefore, we decided to spend time and money on what is really important to us. We will not cancel the brother, and discussing people, especially in their presence, is very, very ugly.
4. Questions that make you angry
Why do I have to go to this stupid school?
Why can’t you sleep at night, but I have to?
Why are you in command?
Certain children’s questions give rise to a feeling of impotence. Maybe somewhere it’s not even a question, but a protest or a sign that something is going wrong. For example, a child does not like school, and this makes us feel so bad that we want to cover ourselves with a hat and never hear about it. We can explain for a long time what the meaning of educational institutions is, but the little person will still remain convinced that we did not help him. If a childish question touches our nerves, we need to unearth the cause of the problem. In the case of a school, to figure out why it is bad there and how to fix it. If a person is preparing a midnight riot, sit down and confidentially find out what happened. It’s harder than stamping your foot and claiming you’re in charge here. But on the other hand, there is a chance that the conversation will turn to an easier question, for example, about gravity, someone’s wrinkled face, or extinct diplodocus…
Inconvenient children’s questions and answers to them. Tips for parents on how to answer tricky questions of children
Children’s questions can confuse even the most experienced parents. Children ask very simple questions, but in order to answer them, sometimes you need to find a lot of simple words instead of complex definitions. And adults often do not discuss some topics among themselves, what can we say about children!
How to respond appropriately to difficult questions? Should I send the child to “google” or answer as frankly as possible? How to choose words to convey your idea? Let’s think today and try to make the most understandable instructions for parents.

The most popular children’s questions and how to answer them
Why do children ask questions and at what age does it start?
Prostock-studio/Shutterstock. com
Having been born, the child tries to get to know the world as widely as possible. He, like a sponge, absorbs everything that happens around him – he studies his mother’s face, learns the boundaries of his body, then realizes that there are many objects and other people around. Gradually developing, he begins not only to accept the world as it is, but also asks the questions “Why?”, “What is this?”, “What for?” etc.
Peak curiosity is considered to be 4 years – according to statistics, at this age, children ask an average of 73 questions a day!
Why are they doing this? Not only out of curiosity, but also to attract attention to yourself, to involve parents in an exciting conversation. Receiving an answer to an important question for himself, the child also receives a sense of need and acceptance from his parents.
Do not ignore and dismiss your child – try to find simple and understandable words even to the most tricky questions. Of course, there is not always time and opportunity to answer right away – in this case, do not forget to return to the question a little later and discuss the new topic together.
Why so many “uncomfortable” questions?
Prostock-studio/Shutterstock.com
It’s good for a child to ask simple questions like “When is daddy coming home from work?” or “Why do I go to kindergarten?”. They have clear and specific answers: “Dad will return home at 6, and you go to kindergarten because your parents have to go to work and cannot play with you during the day.”
But more often, little tomboys want to know the answers to much more complex and difficult questions. Parents are faced with “uncomfortable” questions regularly, and some may even stand in a stupor in surprise. At this moment it is important to remember that the child does not have the task of somehow confusing or shaming you. He’s just curious and genuinely wants to know why day turns into night or where babies come from. It is we, adults, who make questions uncomfortable for ourselves, because some things are obvious to us, and some are taboo.
Do not panic or look for someone to blame, let alone shame the child. Try to answer as calmly as possible in a language the child understands. The calmer you are during the answer, the faster the child will switch to a more interesting activity.
If a child shocks you with his knowledge, ask where he got this word from or learned about some event. Perhaps he meant something completely different, and you were already scared. As in a joke about a grandmother and a grandson: “The grandmother returns her grandson to her parents and asks her to stop inspiring the child with religious thoughts. Parents in bewilderment ask what the child said. Grandmother replies: “He followed me all day and said: “Pray and repent!”. Parents laughed and said: “It was he who wanted to see the cartoon “Baby and Carlson”!”
How to answer “uncomfortable” questions?
Prostock-studio/Shutterstock.com
All children’s questions must be answered. But you should adhere to a number of simple and rather obvious rules, then it will be easier for you to communicate with a child of any age:
Do not ignore children’s questions, no matter how stupid or strange they may seem to you. It is important for a child to get an answer, and you are the main source of knowledge for him. Be attentive from an early age , and then in adolescence it will be easier for a child to turn to you for advice.
Do not say: “It is indecent (wrong) to ask such questions!” – this will only warm up the child’s interest in this topic, and he will find a more accommodating interlocutor who will tell everything and even more.
Use words and explanations appropriate for the child’s age. At three years, simple and short answers are enough; the older the child becomes, the more details and nuances he will want to know .
If the topic seemed too atypical to you, ask the child how he learned about it, but do not scold him for his interest.
Control yourself, be calm and confident in your answer. Children easily read parental embarrassment and awkwardness. This, in turn, also fuels interest.
Bring the conversation to the end until the child says that he understands everything.
Don’t be afraid to admit that you don’t know something. This can be a great opportunity to learn something new together and teach your child to search for information on their own.
What to do if you don’t know what to answer your child?
Prostock-studio/Shutterstock.com
It’s impossible to know everything in the world. The child, of course, wants to believe that the parents are omnipotent and omnipotent, but they learn very quickly that parents have their weaknesses, their shortcomings and, of course, that their knowledge is limited. Don’t be afraid to say you don’t know something. Offer to find information together.
Today there are many informative bright books about everything in the world, you can find information in them or open a search engine on the Internet. Ask the child to compose a question, help to make it as clear as possible so that the computer understands the request. Browse sites, find the best answer. Speak your steps when looking for information. After going through this path repeatedly, the child himself will be able to use the search engine and find everything he needs, filtering out unnecessary and false information. This will be useful to him throughout his life during his studies and work.
Do not forget to discuss new knowledge, share with the child what was amazing for you, ask what he learned. Perhaps you will delve into the topic even more and have a great time with your child!
The most popular children’s questions and how to answer them
Prostock-studio/Shutterstock.com
There are questions that most parents baffle, regardless of education, emotional intelligence or parenting experience. They require parents to concentrate and be confident in their own words. Let’s look at the most popular and tricky of them.
Where do babies come from? Where did I come from?
This question naturally arises in almost all children. And it seems that it is extremely difficult to answer it, avoiding the topic of sex and genitals. However, mystical storks with cabbage also do not add clarity to this issue. The best way to answer as simply as possible:
“When mom and dad love each other, a baby appears in mom’s tummy. Dad and I met, became friends and fell in love, and you settled in my stomach. At first you were very small and defenseless, so your mother was the safest place for you. Gradually you grew, developed, and when the time came, your mother gave birth to you – she pushed you out of the tummy with her muscles.
This information is more than enough for a three or four year old child. Most likely, the child will return to the issues of childbearing in full closer to adolescence. It is advisable to have a suitable picture book on the shelf at this point, where all the information has already been presented in a simple and understandable way.
Questions about death (Will I die? Will you die? What happens after death?)
Prostock-studio/Shutterstock. com not become. No need to change your face and show your child your fear. This can frighten and injure the baby. It is better to answer calmly:
“One day each of us — people, animals, plants — will be gone, but this will not happen soon. What awaits us there, no one knows, but I want to believe that we will sit on a cloud and look down at our loved ones and relatives.
Surprisingly, toddlers love the concept of an island or cloud where their loved ones look after them.
Who do you love more, your brother/sister or me?
A trick question that leaves you in a stupor, because you really need to answer it very carefully. The equation offends children very much, so it is best to build the answer as follows:
“It is impossible to love everyone with the same love. Love is different. I love you and I love your brother too. This is a different love, but it is equally very strong.
It is easier to answer the question if you have children of different sexes: one can say that he is the most beloved son, and the other that she is the most beloved daughter.
But if the children begin to ask you such questions regularly, think about how you show your feelings for them. Perhaps they thus want to get attention and support from you, which they lack.
Why do you and your father (mother) fight?
Prostock-studio/Shutterstock.com
Children are very afraid of quarrels between people close to them. Often they begin to think that they are the result of disagreements between their parents. Of course it hurts them. Talk to your child about whether he always agrees with his friends? Does this mean he loves them less? So mom and dad fight because they disagree on some issues, but at the same time they continue to love each other.
Reassure the child, show him that you still love him, despite any parental disputes. But try to continue to solve your adult problems in the absence of children, or with the help of a constructive conversation. This will show them the correct behavior during the conflict.
Does Santa Claus exist? (God, Baba Yaga, etc.)
On the eve of the New Year, you can hear such a question from your child. And parents do not know what to do, because we teach children honesty, and we don’t want to lie, but the truth will destroy the fairy tale. Therefore, it is worth saying as honestly as possible:
“No one knows for sure whether Santa Claus exists or not: some people believe that he exists and brings gifts, others do not.”
Read more in our article “Mom, does Santa Claus exist?”: how to answer a child’s questions and is it worth telling the “truth”?
Why don’t I have such a car (dolls, etc.), but Vanya does?
Children often like what their peers have but don’t. Plus, socio-economic inequality in society also sooner or later becomes noticeable to a small observer. How to explain to the kid why he does not have what other guys have? Answer must be sincere:
“We are all different: Vasya has such a machine, and you have another one. You can ask him to switch or play together.”
What is the difference between boys and girls?
Prostock-studio/Shutterstock.com
These questions are usually asked by kindergarten kids who, while sitting on the potty, have discovered that girls and boys are different. This is fine. You should not emphasize that girls are “neat clean”, and “boys are hooligans and fighters”, firstly, because this is not necessarily the case, and secondly, because there is not much difference between a little boy and a little girl. Therefore, it is better to focus on what unites us:
“Yes, boys and girls have different organs, but girls and boys also feel pain and resentment, rejoice and laugh, love mom and dad.”
What is “sex” (or any other “non-childish” term)?
Before answering the question, ask where and under what circumstances your child heard this word. No need to scold or shame the child for curiosity. It is not necessary to say that this is a “bad word”.

Doggie Daycare | Garner, NC & Surrounding Areas
Dogwarts is Carolina Ranch’s innovative version of traditional Doggie Daycare; a great way for your pet to get plenty of exercise and socialization to give you a happy and tired pup when you get home. Owners no longer need to worry that their dog is lonely or unattended at home while they are at work or away. Dogwarts allows us to take care of your pet in a safe manner by performing a thorough evaluation(s) to determine their personality and play style. Once they have been accepted into our program and we’ve had ample amount of time to get to know them, they will then be sorted into one of our four school houses that fit their personality.
Hours
Monday-Friday: 7AM-6PM

Which House Will Your Pooch Belong To?
Each of our four houses represents certain qualities we look for in our students. Each student will be a proud representative for their house and will earn points for their house throughout the semester. Our Dogwarts program is unique in that we ask our employees and clients to also be part of our Dogwarts program to encourage interactivity and fun. Dogwarts employees and parents will help the dogs earn points during each semester through various other services and functions. At the end of each semester the points will be totaled, and whichever house has the most points wins!
Schedule Evaluation
“Daycare is all about being part of the pack, and howling as one.”
Howlinmoors have the heart of a wolf beating inside of them. They instinctively want to be part of the pack and are able to find their place in it quickly. Very prideful creatures, a Howlinmoor always enters the yard with chest out and head held high. Everyone in the pack respects them and all of the puppies look up to them. Nothing makes a Howlinmoor more proud than winning in a game of tug of war. Whether they are running around or relaxing, they are always helping the professors keep a look out for anyone misbehaving.
“Daycare is all about finding that perfect spot and soaking up the sun.”
Snugglepups get along with everyone! They understand what it’s like being the new kid in school and make sure that all our new students feel welcome. Whether it’s an extra treat at home or extra love at school, Snugglepups have a way of using their charm to get a little more attention. Snugglepups also understand that daycare is all about relaxing. They know where all the good spots are at school. If there is a comfy spot in the daycare yard, a Snugglepup is already in it. Soaking up the sun and working on their beauty sleep is how they would choose to spend every day.
“Daycare is all about experiencing new things and learning all you can.”
Cleverpaws love learning new things. They say that you should learn a new thing every day and Cleverpaws make sure that happens. Cleverpaws know how everything works at school and love being the teacher’s pet. Whenever a professor needs a volunteer to help with a task, a Cleverpaw’s paw shoots up into the air first. These clever pups always keep the professors on their toes too, because you never know what a Cleverpaw might be up too. They love showing off their intelligence, whether it’s doing a trick or helping a new student learn the ropes.
“Daycare is all about running around and having FUN!”
Slobberins don’t worry about being the cool kid in school. They couldn’t care less whether or not they were clever, impressive or charming. They know that daycare is all about having fun! You won’t ever catch a Slobberin laying down in the yard; Slobberins live in the moment and never look back. They run around the yard, chew on toys and swim in the pool. These students know how to have a good time and make sure that they get as much out of their day as possible. Slobberins also make sure that everyone is in a good mood; it’s impossible to be grumpy once you see how happy they are.
Enrolling your dog in a daycare program has several positive outcomes:
Healthy Pets – Your dog will get lots of great exercise under supervision.
Calm Evenings – Most owners see a much more relaxed pet when they get home (our Daycare dogs are usually ready for a nap after a day at the Ranch).
Social Skills – Daycare participants are less likely to develop social issues.

Do dogs like doggie daycare?
Doggie daycare is a great way for your dog to get exercise, have fun and socialize with other dogs. Although every dog reacts to doggie daycare differently, the right daycare can be the perfect environment for them to make new friends and develop their social skills. Doggie daycare is especially good for those with busy schedules. If you don’t want to leave your pet alone for extended periods of time, doggie daycare can help to fill this time and keep them happy and entertained.
Carolina Ranch’s doggie daycare program will help your dog to have fun while developing their social skills. To find out more about our doggie daycare services, give us a call today!
What are the benefits of doggy daycare?
If your dog appears to have boundless energy, exhibits negative behavior when left unattended, or is nervous or lonesome, dog daycare may be an excellent solution. Here are the top 3 reasons to consider daycare for your dog.
Socialization: If your dog is an “only child,” he or she may have less chance of interacting with other canines and people. Doggie daycare provides a secure and supervised place for your dog to interact with other dogs of all sizes, breeds, and dispositions.
Keeping Physically & Mentally Fit: Dogs require the same amount of exercise as people do! Your little companion will be able to expend some energy and obtain the physical activity they require to keep healthy by attending doggie daycare. They’ll be cognitively stimulated as well to maintain their minds and keep them sharp. Bonus, your dog will sleep well after all of that fun, which is great news for all.
Lessened Separation Anxiety: Without exercise and a social atmosphere, your dog may be apprehensive about being left unattended for long periods of time. They might spend the day howling, licking, gnawing, or destroying property. We all have busy daily schedules, and doggie daycare allows us to do what we need to do without leaving our pets alone to suffer.

Our trained staff ensure safe play and lots of attention so dog owners can have peace-of-mind knowing they can juggle a hectic work schedule without compromising the care of their best friend.

Vaccinations
A copy of vaccination records are required from your veterinarian’s office and must be received prior to attending Daycare. For the safety of all of our dogs, the following vaccinations/exams are required:
– Rabies: 1 or 3 year – Distemper/Parvo: 1 or 3 year – Bordetella: within 1 year.
Bordetella Vaccine must be given at least 7 days prior to Daycare participation for maximum effectiveness. This vaccine protects, but does not guarantee, that your dog will not contract Kennel Cough. Bone Voyage is not liable for dogs that contract Kennel Cough.
– Fecal Exam: within 1 year
Enrollment
WE ARE CURRENTLY NOT ACCEPTING NEW DOGS FOR DAYCARE DUE TO OVERWHELMING DEMAND AND AVAILABLE SPACE.
The health and safety of each guest is our number one priority. Therefore, all dogs are required to pass a temperament evaluation test to make sure they are suitable for our Daycare program. A one-time temperament test fee of $20 is required. All dogs attending Daycare must pass our enrollment process to participate in Daycare. We reserve the right to refuse enrollment to any dog at any time for any reason.
All dogs must be spayed/neutered by 6 months to participate in Daycare. Our Daycare is not a walk-in facility. Reservations are required. We recommend 24 hour notice. However, you are welcome to contact us for availability any time.
Dress Code
All dogs are required to wear a harness. Harnesses can be rented for $2 a day or purchased in the lobby.
We have a great selection of Tuff-Loc harnesses for sale which have a lifetime warranty. Tuff-Loc will replace your harness with a new one at no charge if your dog chews it up or the harness is destroyed in any way—no questions asked!
Parasite Prevention
All dogs entering the facility must be free of parasites including fleas, ticks and intestinal parasites. For Daycare attendance, we require that all dogs be on year-round heartworm and tick/flea preventative prescribed by their Veterinarian. Annual fecal and heartworm testing is also required.
Health
All dogs entering the facility must be in good health and free from any condition that could potentially jeopardize the health of other dogs. Owner must verify that their dog is in good health and has not been ill or knowingly exposed to any communicable diseases or parasites in the past 30 days.
Behavior
All dogs attending Daycare must not show any signs of aggression towards other dogs or people. All parents will need to verify their dog has no history of aggression.
DAY BOARDING: For pet parents whose dogs do not pass the Daycare Temperament Evaluation, we offer Day Boarding as an option. Day Boarding dogs enjoy the privacy of a dog boarding suite, potty breaks and individual playtime without an overnight stay. This is a great option for dogs who don’t socialize well with other dogs, can’t be left home alone or are in need of special care or handling throughout the day while pet parents are at work or running errands.
Day Boarding is available Monday- Friday, 7:30 am – 7:00 pm and Saturdays, 8:00 am – 12:00 pm. Full-Days are $18 and Half-Days are $9.

Seaford’s original settlers were the Marsapeaques, a Native American tribe of Indians. They called the area the “Great Water Country”.
European settlement began with the arrival in England of Captain John Seaman, a native of Seaford, East Sussex. After obtaining a patent for the area, Moryak oversaw the creation of South Jerusalem, the first European name given to the city that would become Seaford. It was also often referred to as the sailor’s neck.
In the 19th century, as villages across Long Island began to grow (due to the creation of the Long Island Railroad), the city of South Jerusalem seemed unaffected. In 1868 the town was renamed to its current name “Seaford” after Captain Seaman’s home town in England. At the time, Seaford remained an agriculturally developed area. Over time, the town developed a post office, a church and a one-room school, established in what many years later would become the first building of the Seaford Fire Department and today home to the Seaford Historical Museum. While the city itself hasn’t changed much, many New Yorkers have found the area attractive for summer vacations.
With the creation of the Sunrise Highway in 1929, Seaford saw a large influx of residents. Until 1929, about 1,200 citizens lived in Seaford. In 25 years, that number will triple.
Economics
Cash crops such as corn and wheat were among the first to be grown in the Seaford area. With easy access to various waterfronts, attempts to fish and get oysters were widespread. At first it was a difficult task, given the layers of earth under water. mid 19In the early 1900s, the Seaford Baymen created a small round-bottomed boat called the Seaford Skiff, which was used for fishing and market hunting (commercial waterfowl hunting).
The popularity of hunting and fishing has led to two hotels along Merrick Road: the Sportsman’s Hotel, now home to Verity Moving, along the new 135 route, and the Powell Hotel on Jackson Avenue. Many celebrities have come to these hotels to hunt ducks in South Oyster Bay, including New York Yankees Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig, and brewery and longtime Yankees owner Jacob Ruppert. Local guides, including Nelson Verity and Sheriff Garner Payne (one of Long Island’s first black officials), took them to the bay for sports.
The Powell Hotel was demolished in 1977 to make way for the Long Island Savings Bank. It has been argued that the missing historical documents that could have saved the building by proving its status as a monument were only discovered in the eaves during the actual demolition.
