RITUALS AND ROUTINES: Supporting Infants and Toddlers and Their Families
by Linda Gillespie and Sandra Petersen
Josh brings Eliana, 20 months, into the family child care provider’s home. Sherita greets Josh and Eliana with a warm “Good morning!” Eliana buries her head in her father’s shoulder. Sherita pats Eliana on the back and says, “It feels so good to snuggle with Daddy.” Josh tells Sherita how Eliana slept and what she had for breakfast. Eliana peeks at Sherita, and Sherita says, “I see you looking at me! Come, let me hold you while Daddy leaves for work. You know what to do: give him a kiss and a hug, and then we will go to the window. Watch—when Daddy gets to the car, he’s going to turn around and wave to you.” Eliana watches for her daddy to turn around and wave, then waves back.
MORNING ARRIVALS didn’t always go this smoothly for Eliana and her father. When Eliana first came to Sherita’s program, she had a very hard time letting her father leave and he had a hard time leaving. Sherita suggested that she and Josh think about a ritual to perform every morning when he left. Eliana could feel some control over this transition (or at least an understanding of her own role), and that might make it easier for both of them to say goodbye.
Josh suggested the strategy described in the vignette because it was what he and his partner did when they left Eliana at home with a babysitter. In the beginning, Eliana still cried. But over time and with patience, this daily ritual smoothed the way for parting from her dad at the family child care home.
What are routines?
The words routine and ritual are sometimes used interchangeably. Yet there are some important differences. Routines are repeated, predictable events that provide a foundation for the daily tasks in a child’s life. Teachers can create a predictable routine in early childhood settings for infants and toddlers, and they can individualize those routines to match children’s needs for sleeping and eating and to support children’s development of self-regulation. Individualizing a routine means that the sequence is the same but the actions and timing may vary to accommodate the needs of individual children.
A typical schedule for infants and toddlers consists of arrival, playtime, snack, lunch, naptime, snack, and departure, with diapering taking place when needed and diaper checks at scheduled times throughout the day. Within this schedule, individual children arrive at different times, nap for different periods, eat when hungry, and so on. But the schedule of events remains consistent, providing a basic framework for the day. The familiar pattern helps infants and toddlers know what to expect and when to expect it. However, even when routines are consistent and predictable, a ritual can ease or enhance aspects of routines to make them more manage-able and meaningful to the child and the caregiver.
What are rituals?
Rituals can be defined as special actions that help us navigate emotionally important events or transitions in our lives as well as enhance aspects of our daily routines to deepen our connections and relationships. For adults, rituals are sometimes associated with events like weddings, funerals, holidays, and religious practices. They provide a way to acknowledge the importance of such events and are usually comforting.
In early childhood settings, rituals can be developed between a parent and child or a teacher and child to ease or enrich emotionally loaded moments such as separations. A ritual is a special practice that helps a child accept aspects of a routine, even an individualized routine, that are stressful. In the opening vignette, the parting ritual that takes place within the arrival routine provides a bridge for the emotionally challenging experience of saying good-bye.
The time, predictability, and reliable emotional tone of rituals give the child, parent, and caregiver a sense of comfort and control. They help the child manage, or regulate, the unsettling feelings evoked by change and draw the child and the parent or caregiver closer with each reassuring repetition. Rituals support emotional self-regulation by offering young children a way to manage their strong emotions during a stressful time.
Because rituals are attuned to a child’s individual needs, age, and family culture, they are developmentally appropriate. Each ritual is an individual set of practices for a particular child and her family or teacher. Eliana’s ritual matches her stage of development. It would not work with a 6-month-old, whose memory would not be developed enough to hold a sequence of events in his mind.
Rituals are culturally appropriate because families help create them by sharing information about their ways of handling specific routines or emotionally challenging events. For example, a caregiver engaged in the routine of hand washing with Bobby (10 months) sings the ABC song to him, so that Bobby washes his hands for the required 30 seconds. She uses this song because it is the song Bobby’s mother uses at home. For Eric, 30 months, she sings a song about the bubbles going down the drain, a ritual they developed together to make that 30 seconds fly by. These simple rituals around hand washing help deepen her relationship with each child and make even the mundane meaningful for both child and adult.
Rituals are not just about making transitions easier for an infant; they are also about helping the special adults in the infant’s life. Donald Winnicott, a pediatrician and renowned psychiatrist, stated, “There is no such thing as a baby… [there is] a baby and someone. A baby cannot exist alone, but is essentially part of a relationship.” (1964/1987, 88).
Rituals can provide support to that important someone in a child’s life. Josh felt respected when Sherita enlisted his support in easing Eliana’s transitions into her care, taking into consideration his experiences and practices. Rituals, when created by parent, child, and teacher together, respect each person’s feelings. Therefore, they support the goal of creating and deepening the strong connections between parents and their children as well as between parents and their children’s teachers. Over time, the morning parting ritual may change as Eliana adjusts to Sherita’s family child care program and develops new ways to meet her need for security and control. This ritual will have provided a stepping stone toward her new understanding.
Rituals are intentional ways of approaching a routine, with careful consideration of the needs of the individual within the routine. For early childhood professionals, they are a way to connect on a deeper level with families and their children. Rituals and routines work together to create secure environments that nurture relationships between infants and their caregivers. They strengthen the bond between parents and child as well as create a partnership between parents and their child’s teacher.
THINK ABOUT IT.
What role do you see rituals playing in your life?
What is a ritual that has been particularly helpful to you? Why?
TRY IT.
Think about the children in your care. In what ways do you support their transitions throughout the day?
Talk with families about the rituals they practice at home. Bath time and bedtime may be routine until a young child suddenly worries about the dark or about going down the drain. At that point, the adult might use a special ritual to help the child manage his fears.

Routines provide the two key ingredients necessary for learning: relationships and repetition.
For most of us, our lives involve a series of patterns—routines we perform almost every day, like stopping at the same place each day for coffee on the way to work. This is also very true for babies and toddlers. While we play a part in creating routines in our children’s lives, we may not fully realize the role they play in young children’s development.
Routines and Self-Control
Routines help babies and toddlers learn self-control.
Consistent routines, activities that happen at about the same time and in about the same way each day, provide comfort and a sense of safety to young children. Whether it is time to play, time for a snack, a nap, or a loved one to return, knowing what will happen next gives babies and toddlers security and emotional stability. It helps them learn to trust that caring adults will provide what they need. When children feel this sense of trust and safety, they are free to do their “work,” which is to play, explore, and learn.
Routines and Power Struggles
Routines can bring you and your child closer together and reduce power struggles.
Stable routines allow babies and toddlers to anticipate what will happen next. This gives young children confidence, and also a sense of control, such as when parents say: “It is bedtime. Would you like to brush teeth now or after we get your pajamas on?” Routines can also limit the amount of “no’s” and behavior corrections you need to give a toddler throughout the day, since your child can better predict what should happen next: “I know you want a cracker. But it is clean-up time now. Remember, after clean-up, it is snack-time. ”
Routines and Safety
Routines guide positive behavior and safety.
Routines are like instructions—they guide children’s actions toward a specific goal. Routines can be used for many reasons, but two of the most important are ensuring children’s health and safety, and helping children learn positive, responsible behavior. For example, children wash hands before they have snack, or must hold an adult’s hand when crossing the street. Here is another example: Two-year-old George loves to play with his trucks in the afternoon as mom feeds baby Kira. When mom is done, it is time for them to pick up Dad at the bus stop. All the trucks have to be back in the bucket before they go. Mom lets George know when it’s clean-up time by ringing a special bell she has and saying, “Okay, driver, it’s time for the trucks to park in the garage.” One by one, George wheels each truck up a block plank and into the bucket. Each day they do this, and each day George knows he’ll find his trucks where he put them—back in the bucket. He also knows that after he puts away his trucks, he’ll get to see his dad which always makes him happy.
Routines and Social Skills
Routines support and develop children’s social skills.
As babies grow, they come into contact with more people and begin to learn patterns and routines for social interaction. Greetings, good-byes, and chatting with others are examples of routine interactions that teach social skills. These interactions are also opportunities to help our children develop language skills.
Play-time and mealtime are two routines that are very social times for children and parents alike. Through talking, taking turns, sharing toys, learning to wait, and helping others during these activities, young children learn important social skills that will help them later on in school.
Routines and Transitions
Routines help children cope with transitions.
Depending on your child’s temperament, transitions between activities may be easy or more difficult. Going from play to lunch, lunch to the store, the store to home…and especially transitioning to bed time, can be challenging. Routines (like bedtime routines) can help make transitions easier. Some parents use a timer or a “5-minute warning” to prepare their toddlers for a change in activity. Others use a book, song, or special game. Special rituals can also help transition a child from one caregiver to the next, such as this routine:
Each day, Leke and his mother count the steps as they walk up to the child care center. They leave his coat and lunch in his cubby. Then they go to the toy area where the other children are playing. Leke picks out a toy. He and his mother exchange “butterfly kisses” and mom waves good-bye.
Routines and Parental Happiness
Routines are satisfying for parents, too.
Not only do routines and rituals make transitions easier for children—they also help ease adults into parenthood. The early stages of becoming a parent can be overwhelming and sometimes put a strain on marriage. Continuing a ritual from your early marriage years (like an evening out or a special vacation spot) can help. In addition, taking a special ritual from your own childhood (such as a book that was read to you, a special breakfast made for you on Saturdays) can bridge your transition from a couple to a family.
Routines and Learning
Routines are an important opportunity for learning.
Daily routines are often thought of as just “maintenance” activities: meal time, running errands, getting ready for bed, taking baths. But these everyday actions are rich opportunities to support your child’s learning and development, while having fun. Routines offer the chance to build self-confidence, curiosity, social skills, self-control, communication skills, and more. Take grocery shopping:
Midori (aged 2) and her mom wheeled through the supermarket. Midori pointed at the apples and her mom said, “Look at the red apples and the green apples. Don’t they look yummy?” She held one out for Midori to touch: “Feel how smooth they are. ” Then she picked up a plastic bag and turned back to Midori: “Why don’t you help me choose some to bring home?” Together, they counted out five apples and put them in the bag. Midori tried her best to help, but those apples were hard to hold! It took two hands to get one in the bag. “Nice work!” said her mother, “Thanks for helping.”
Here, a simple interaction in the produce section opened the doors for practicing language skills, taking turns, talking, using one’s senses, and learning about numbers. It also provided a chance to nurture Midori’s self-confidence and self-esteem as her mother let her know that her thoughts and interests were important. Midori’s mom also let her know that she was capable of doing important things, like choosing and bagging the apples.
Routines provide the two key ingredients for learning: relationships and repetition. So enjoy these “ordinary” moments with your child. If she’s having fun with you, she’s learning, too!

Building Brain Power
Brain research tells us that all experiences impact the architecture of the brain. At birth the human brain is in an amazingly unfinished state. The hardware is present but the connections are yet to be made. The child’s experiences , when repeated are reinforced, resulting in brain connections. This becomes the neural circuitry that lays the foundation for lifelong learning.

Greenville Park floods with faeces
The elite microdistrict “Greenville Park” in Ivanovo is flooded with feces. Moreover, residents may soon be left without water. The problem also concerns the kindergarten for 60 children. The developer, which still owns utility networks, is undergoing bankruptcy proceedings. What they say in the city administration and in the regional government – in the report.
Skip
Elite microdistrict – “Greenville Park”. Closed area, four-story building, townhouses, kindergarten. Away from the city, next to the forest. The air is really different here. But it smells not even of Chanel and Dior, but of feces.
Mikhail Dokolin: “There was a very strong smell in the hallways, feces, just a terrible thing. Especially through the elevator shaft it all goes. Stink, sorry, we even open all the windows, as it were, nothing helps.
Problems with the sewerage in the microdistrict are long-standing. The fact is that the developer, who still owns the networks, IvSpetsGarant, went bankrupt. The house was completed only thanks to the additional investments of equity holders. But communications – water supply and sanitation networks – are still not served here.
Marina Zenina, to correspondent: “Due to the fact that no one maintains the equipment, the pumps at the sewage pumping station failed. In the summer, according to the residents, the waste was pumped out directly into the forest, but now this does not help. Water is still accumulating in basements.”
The house is serviced by the management company “MR Service”. According to the manager, the feces were pumped out of the cellars literally the day before – before the arrival of the film crew. However, the water does not completely disappear. The level drops from 10 centimeters to 4.
Alexander Roshchin, head of the management company “MR Service”:
– We are pumping everything out, last week the city gave us barrels, we are pumping everything out, the city is also coming to our aid. Once a month, at least together with the towns, we pump out, call the barrels and pump out.
– That is, water also accumulates in the towns?
– Yes, yes, he also goes to their basements, soon he will flow into the kindergarten.
As we were informed by the city administration, there are no feces in the kindergarten yet. The building is on a hill. Meanwhile, problems in the microdistrict in the near future may arise not only with sewerage, but also with water. It still enters houses according to the developer’s working scheme – from an artesian well.
Alexander Gig o lai: “One of the capsules, tanks, it is cracked, that is, it needs to be repaired. May lead to lack of water in the house.
And throughout the neighborhood. And since there is no one to supply water from the well to the boiler house, there is no centralized hot water supply in homes and kindergarten either.
Maria Karluk: “I get at least 5,000 a month, only because we heat the water. At 5,000 a month, this electricity is being burned. ”
In the preschool institution, according to the head, boilers are also installed. Residents are unsuccessfully trying to negotiate with the creditors of the developer – IvSpetsGarant LLC – about the transfer of utility networks or their redemption. The main one is the Deposit Insurance Agency.
Alexander Gig about laev: “We will send an appeal to the bankruptcy trustee, with the question of excluding these infrastructure facilities from the bankruptcy estate. In order to either transfer these facilities to the balance of the city in the future, if possible, again we will talk with the administration about this, or find the organization that guarantees the supplier who will be able to operate these facilities.”
City officials did not comment on the situation on camera. They were informed in writing that, and I quote: “powers in the field of water supply and sanitation have been transferred to the level of the subject of the Russian Federation – that is, the government of the region.

Four regions of Russia have canceled classes in schools bordering Ukraine. This happened against the background of the military operation of the Russian army in the Donbass.
The authorities of the Belgorod region were the first to report the cancellation of classes in schools and kindergartens, Irina Vasilenko, head of the press service of the regional government, told RBC.
Later, Yulia Starovoitova, head of the information department of the government of the Bryansk region, told RBC about the suspension of classes in schools and kindergartens for one day in the border municipalities.
In addition, the work of institutions is limited in Dzhankoy and Dzhankoy districts, Krasnoperekopsk, Armyansk, Chernomorsky, Leninsky, Razdolnensky regions of Crimea. The head of the Republic of Crimea, Sergei Aksenov, announced this on Telegram.
Schools and kindergartens will be closed until the end of the week, noted the Minister of Education, Science and Youth of the Republic Valentina Lavrik, Interfax reported.
The authorities of the Kursk region have transferred students to distance learning, said the governor of the region Roman Starovoit in Telegram.

“Education”
90,000 how to let students be themselves but not turn school into a circus

Schoolchildren are annoyed that they are dictated what to wear to classes and how to look, and the administration advocates strictness in the appearance of children. The “Pedagogical Council” decided to find out if the school uniform really disciplines and what the students are fighting for. We are sorting it out together with Alfiya Myachina, a psychologist, teacher, organizer of traveling psychological schools for teenagers.
Highlight and equalize
The school uniform has always had two functions – to highlight and equalize.
The first form appeared almost 200 years ago during the reign of Nicholas I, it distinguished high school students from other teenagers. They were proud of her, they put her on everywhere: at school, and on the street, and on holidays.

After the revolution of 1917, everyone became equal and distinctive uniforms were not needed, and parents did not have the opportunity to buy them.
Schoolchildren of the USSR, 1940s. Source: Wikimedia
After the war, general uniforms began. In all departments – ministries, civil services, the State Bank – a strict dress code was introduced. In the late 1940s, a single uniform was introduced for schoolchildren. For girls, brown dresses with black aprons on weekdays and white aprons on holidays. For boys – first tunics, and a little later – jackets with trousers. This clothing had the task of equalizing everyone, because in the USSR no one was supposed to stand out.
Schoolgirls-heroines of the film “First Grader”, 1948.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the compulsory wearing of school uniforms was abolished. Children were given freedom and sought to stand out with the help of new fashionable clothes, unusual hairstyles and bright makeup. For many parents in perestroika times, this became a test: lack of work, salary delays – they could not afford to dress their children at the level of more affluent families. Social inequality became a reason for conflicts between students.
Schoolchildren-heroes of the series “Simple Truths”, 1999-2003
From September 1, 2013, in accordance with the law “On Education in the Russian Federation”, it was decided to return the school uniform. But not the same for everyone: each educational institution, together with students and their parents, adopts its own version.
According to the plan of the authorities, on the one hand, the school uniform equalizes the social inequality of children, on the other hand, it distinguishes students from different gymnasiums and schools.
According to the Law on Education, an educational institution has the right to require students to wear uniforms. In case of violation, the administration can make a remark, reprimand and even expel. This is where her powers end.
Even if a child comes in jeans and a T-shirt, teachers are required to let him go to class.
True, in practice this is not always observed. School workers are trying to regulate not only clothes, but also the appearance of the child. On this occasion, even several cases were initiated, but all decisions were made in favor of the students: such requirements restrict the freedom of the child to express themselves and do not contribute to the creation of conditions that respect human dignity.
Students vs.
Self-expression is a natural human need. The desire to “be different from everyone else” is especially pronounced in adolescents. They are looking for themselves, their style – this is a natural process of growing up.
Therefore, piercings, hair of an unnatural color, a lot of accessories or bright makeup appear. Teachers’ demands to wash off make-up, cut nails, and dye hair are illegal – the law “On Education” does not say anything about hair color or nail length.
Some teachers unconsciously prejudice students with outrageous appearance: they pay attention not to knowledge, but to nose piercings, multi-colored hair.
“In adolescence, the sense of justice is heightened. If teachers go to school with dyed hair, out of uniform and make-up, then why shouldn’t children do this? These double standards are very annoying for teenagers, as, in principle, for all normal people, – comments Alfiya Myachina. “Adolescence is a time of rebellion, and by nature, children need to fight with someone and defend their territory. It happens that adults behave authoritarianly, rudely and humiliatingly towards children – this gives even more reasons for war. As a result, the natural tendency to rebellion collides with the outdated requirements of schools. And teenagers start breaking the rules.”
Form and discipline
Why are teachers so strict with students? Supporters of the school uniform believe that it disciplines, sets up for study and improves academic performance.
However, science does not confirm this. In 2006-2007, an experiment was conducted in the United States: does school uniform really affect the discipline and performance of students? Two groups of children aged 11-14 participated: some wore school uniforms, others dressed loosely. As a result, it turned out that the discipline and academic performance of schoolchildren in both groups was approximately at the same level.
Does not see a direct relationship between discipline and formal clothing and Alfiya Myachina:
“I don’t think form disciplines. To have discipline, we need healthy values, clear boundaries: when we can explain the rules to children, and not dismiss them with an empty phrase “Because it’s supposed to be.”
Tatyana Esina, director of the Moscow school “Phoenix” agrees with this opinion:
“I don’t want uniforms in our school. I am against unification. And the arguments about the fact that it is beautiful, comfortable and you don’t have to think about what to put on a child are the arguments of parents, but not of children. The child is comfortable in the clothes that he likes and that he himself has chosen.
In order to maintain discipline at the same time, Phoenix established clear requirements for clothing, which were written down on paper and agreed with the children. For example, ripped jeans and shorts should not be worn. If someone breaks the rules, he goes home to change. Dreadlocks, colored hair are not banned. Three years ago, bombers or sweatshirts with the school logo appeared at the school.

Selection of tires and wheels for the car Toyota Tacoma
Using the automatic selection of tires and wheels for the car Toyota Tacoma , you can avoid many problems associated with their compatibility and compliance with the recommendations of car manufacturers. After all, these components have a huge impact on a number of vehicle performance, from handling to dynamic qualities. In addition, tires and rims in a modern car are one of the elements of active safety. That is why it is extremely important to approach their choice very responsibly, using rather specific knowledge about these products for this.
Unfortunately, or vice versa, fortunately, a significant part of motorists prefer not to study the technical structure of their own car thoroughly. Regardless of this, the automatic selection system will be extremely useful, that is, it will minimize the likelihood of making the wrong decision when choosing certain tires and rims. And it is distinguished by its extreme diversity, due to the presence in the Mosavtoshina online store of a wide range of this type of product.

Have you ever thought about life in space? What would she be? After all, there is no oxygen, no soil underfoot, no one with whom one could communicate.
However, sometimes we dream of this mesmerizing place full of stars and hidden secrets.
People are creators in their essence. And even such a seemingly unchanging thing as the cosmos, they are able to adjust to suit themselves. You just need to build a special base and send it up. Yes, it’s expensive, yes, it’s difficult. But then what a view!
The new game from Fullbright is about just that – a cozy space life… Which can be destroyed in an instant.
Arrival
2088, intermediate lunar station “Tacoma”. We dock our spacecraft and attach sensors for augmented reality (AR) manipulation. Following the instructions of the local artificial intelligence “ONE”, we pass into the main compartment of the abandoned complex. Task: Find data access nodes and transfer information to our starship, then extract the AI and deliver it to the Venturis Corporation.
The main character is silent. Maybe for the better – thinking out loud here would be out of place.
In addition to the main compartment, the station has three more: “Personnel”, “Biomedicine” and “Engineering”. It will not work to start the study in any order – the plot is strictly linear. We are shown in turn all the key events that are stored in the system’s memory.
Augmented reality plays an important role here. With its help, we track the movements of the former crew of the station, listen in on conversations and interact with the consoles of the characters. Episodes involving the team are presented in the form of a short timeline that can be wound back and forth or reset to the beginning. Recreate the exact sequence of events, such as in The Vanishing of Ethan Carter , not needed.
It is impossible to hear the lines of all the “ghosts” at once.
In order for data to be sent faster, it is necessary to carefully study the time periods and collect all the information. By the way, the digitized versions of the crew members look really futuristic here. Apparently, the AR recording of events saves only the silhouettes of the owners, just like in Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture, where we witnessed past events in the same way.
It is not necessary to delve into this whole story. Tacoma can be completed in a couple of hours if you wish, but this way you will deprive yourself of the most important thing in the game: storytelling about people.
There used to be people here
Apparently, every second crew member has coins at the station.
In terms of situation analysis, Tacoma is not far from the same Gone Home. Almost any item can be twisted in the hands, studied up close … But putting it in your pocket will not work. Inventory is not provided, which hints at a minimum of mysteries. There are a couple of keys and access codes, but don’t expect more.
Anyway, the game does fine without it. It is more about an interactive installation, where a monotonous search for objects is combined with an intriguing story that tells itself somewhere in the background.
Entertainment has not been canceled!
The lunar station has living compartments, specially equipped rooms for work… But, frankly, this is not enough. The last game of the studio made a strong emphasis on the history of two people, but here the player’s attention is sparingly divided among themselves as many as six important characters.
Notes, personal belongings – everything is in place, it remains only to fall in love with the characters. But it doesn’t work. We learn that this nerd was very worried about being separated from his family, and this eccentric girl was well versed in artificial intelligence. That’s all. How a certain couple became close, what happened between friends is not clear. All the timing was spent on the disaster, and not on “acquaintance” with the crew. Yes, and knick-knacks with parts of correspondence are most often saved by half. You empathize with multi-colored doodles with great difficulty.
Love relationships here are not only heterosexual. Although who is surprised by this now …
For example, in SOMA it was much more exciting to notice the little things that the owners left behind after a nightmarish incident. Interest, of course, largely came from the plot. But why is Tacoma worse?
In Search of Truth
And yet, the disaster itself managed to be conveyed, if not one hundred percent, then at least 99%. Everything seems to be as usual, another calm day at the Tacoma station. But it wasn’t there!..
There is a lot of drama.
The team is alarmed, employees do not find a place for themselves and share sorrowful thoughts not only with each other, but also with ONE, who is in charge of the safety of the entire crew.
Tacoma does a good job of covering two topics: the ability of artificial intelligence and life in orbit, away from earthly goods. Now these questions, whatever you say, are more relevant than ever. Moreover, the action takes place in the not so distant future – a little less than half a century has passed. At the same time, technology has not become significantly more progressive. We are all familiar with AR (at least thanks to Pokemon Go ) and almost every day we see news about another security robot with unusual behavior.
The Tacoma Dome is a local landmark.
But in fact, at the station you just want to live for your own pleasure. Forget about the task for a while, turn off the “ghosts” of previous residents (which, unfortunately, cannot be done) and relax in gravity flight.
The game is very spectacular, every corner, every compartment on the base is saturated with cosmic romance. Well, the atmosphere in walking simulators plays an important role. Praise!
More screenshots from Tacoma
The new interactive adventure from the developers of Gone Home does not shine with originality, but plays on the tender feelings of lovers of everything futuristic. At the same time, Tacoma does not forget about its origin and builds the storyline in the usual way, which will be appreciated by those familiar with the genre. If walking simulators are your weakness, grab it and you can’t go wrong.

Cars, article, 04/28/2020 09:39 Mikhail N.
One of the best representatives of the American mid-size pickup segment is getting a restyling. The Japanese company is trying to hide a clearly manifested age, while it succeeds without much difficulty, despite the fact that, in a number of parameters, competitors under American brands were able to come out ahead.
Pickup is unusual and ordinary at the same time, but there is no contradiction in this. This is an American model from beginning to end, it may seem specific and even strange in many countries, but in its homeland it is in place. Why is there no Hilux in the US, and why, according to some, Tacoma takes its place? The answer lies in the origin of the Hilux – originally a commercial car, focused on the countries of Asia, Africa and South America, while the Tacoma, although it has “working” versions and similarities to the Hilux, has always been a purely “civilian” model, focused on competition. with specific “Americans”.
In the first generation, which appeared in 1995, the Tacoma was positioned as a “compact pickup”, but in the second and third it became a medium-sized one. The main competitors are Ford Ranger, Chevrolet Colorado, Jeep Gladiator and Honda Ridgeline. This is not a complete list of segment participants, but the rest of the representatives in the role of catching up.
The third generation Tacoma appeared in 2015, the current restyling is the first major, although updates appear every year. Looking ahead, it can be noted that more was expected from modernization, but almost everything that has been done is really good.
One of the most frequently criticized points is that the driver’s seat is too low for a pickup truck. Almost 5 years after the release of the third generation on sale, Toyota reacted to criticism, and even then in a peculiar way: the seats remained the same, but received height adjustment. Problem solved? Yes, but only in the upper trim levels, and buyers of the base Tacoma, as before, will be unhappy.
We installed a new multimedia system with support for Android Auto, Apple CarPlay and Amazon Alexa, improved navigation, improved the interface: there is a minimum of criticism here. Finishing materials remained very simple and even rough. In terms of quality, the Tacoma performs worse than even the Gladiador, not to mention the wonderful Honda Ridgeline interior – soft and comfortable. As before, the one-and-a-half cab version is not suitable for passengers in the back row – it is so crowded there that even children will not fit. The most common two-row cab has 200mm more rear seat laps, but the Ford Ranger and Honda Ridgeline are still roomier.
Tacoma’s cargo capabilities are in a winning position. Firstly, Toyota is one of the few in the segment that offers two cargo platforms to choose from (5- and 6-foot), and secondly, in the version with a one-and-a-half cab and rear-wheel drive, the pickup truck’s load capacity is one of the highest in the class – 735 kg. For comparison, with a two-row cab and 4×4 – only 530 kg.
Tacoma can tow a trailer weighing up to 3,080 kg, according to this indicator, it is inferior in the corresponding modifications to competitors from GM and Ford (from 3,400 kg), but outperforms the “Japanese”: the outdated Nissan Frontier pulls 2950 kg, and the outsider here is Ridgeline (2,270 kg).
The engine range in the 2020 version is the same. Base – 4-cylinder 2.7-liter, it develops 159 hp. power and 244 Nm of torque. This is the weakest option in the entire segment (the closest point is 200 hp in a 2.5-liter Chevy Colorado), but, oddly enough, it is in demand. Transmission – 6-speed “automatic”.
Much closer to the idea of American pickup trucks 3.5-liter V6, developing 278 hp. power and 360 Nm of torque. It is also combined with a 6-speed automatic transmission, but the “trick” of the Tacoma with the V6 is that “mechanics” are also provided. A 6-speed manual transmission (which replaced the 5-speed in 2017) is offered in off-road versions from TRD, along with a modified suspension and a number of other changes that give the Tacoma one of its main advantages: off-road capability. In terms of its off-road qualities, Tacoma will not yield to anyone in the segment, but will win over many. Not all competitors have versions that match the TRD Off Road and TRD Pro equipment, but even the base all-wheel drive Tacoma V6 4×4 has decent potential.
The presence of “mechanics” does not give any tangible advantages – it is offered for marketing reasons and to reach a larger audience of off-road enthusiasts. There are small complaints about the operation of the “automatic machine”: in difficult conditions, it sometimes frantically searches for the desired stage, but most often this is compensated by switching to a lower row in the transmission – a 2-speed “razdatka” is available in all all-wheel drive versions.
Tacoma is not the best car for the highway, it is noticeably lagging behind the more modern Cororado and, moreover, from the Ridgeline, which has an almost passenger character. Despite Toyota’s best efforts, the Tacoma’s cargo habits show up every now and then when it comes to high-speed maneuvering, and on a bad road or “comb” the suspension, tuned for flotation, quickly becomes uncomfortable. On any roads of acceptable quality, the Tacoma is a comfortable car, but by the standards of the segment.
Economy is average, but given the age, the performance is acceptable. 4-cylinder versions of 4×2 in the city consume 11.8, and on the highway 10.2 l / 100 km. With the V6 4×4, the respective figures are 13.0 and 10.7 l/100 km. Buying a 4-cylinder version will not give a radical gain in efficiency, plus only in the price of a car.
Outside of North America, Tacoma is almost never found, but in the US, Canada and Mexico it is a popular model that makes Toyota the main sales in the pickup segment – the same Tundra is far from Tacoma in terms of demand. The price looks reasonable too – the base version of the 2020 SR will cost $27,170, the most expensive Limited with V6 and all-wheel drive is $39.910, and the $45,089 TRD Pro, which is aimed at fans of off-road versions, stands apart.
Perhaps a pickup truck like the Tacoma would be in demand on the world market, but Toyota has a different opinion on this matter, especially considering the popularity and impeccable reputation of the Hilux.

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.
Neenah KinderCare Programs
Infant Programs (6 weeks–1 year)
Leaving your baby in someone else’s care is a big step. Everyone at our
centers—most importantly, our naturally gifted infant teachers—will work with
you to make sure the transition goes smoothly. When you step into our infant
classroom, you’ll see how much we want your infant to feel safe, loved, and
ready to explore their world.
Toddler Programs (1–2 Years)
Everything in our toddler classroom is designed for little explorers. That’s
because a lot is going on at this age. When your child is wandering all over the
place, that means they’re learning and discovering new things every day. We’ll
help them explore their interests (and find new ones!) as they play and learn.
Discovery Preschool Programs (2–3 Years)
This age is filled with so much wonder and curiosity. That’s why we offer a ton
of books and toys and bring artwork down to kids eye level. Children in
discovery preschool also begin to learn how we all work together in a
classroom. Simple math and science, pretend play, and group play help them
get used to a more structured school setting.
Preschool Programs (3–4 Years)
This age is all about expression, when kids really start to form their own ideas
about what they want to play and how they want to create. Every day in our
preschool classroom, your child will explore science experiments, create
artwork, and play pretend—all the skills needed for their big next step:
kindergarten!
Prekindergarten Programs (4–5 Years)
When you walk into one of our pre-K classrooms, you’ll see artwork and
writing displayed around the room. Labels are everywhere to help kids connect
letters with words. You’ll also see pictures on the walls that reflect the families
in our community. Your child will also deepen their knowledge in language,
math, science, Spanish, and social skills.
Before- and After-School Programs (5–12 Years)
You can count on us to provide reliable care for your school-ager while you’re
at work, with safe transportation from our center to your child’s school and
back! Whether your child wants to start a drama club, build a volcano, or
create a comic book, they will have a place to follow their dreams. Your child
will start and end the day with a whole lot of fun!
School Break Programs (preschool, prekindergarten, and school-age)
Winter break, spring break, summer break—when school’s out (but you still need to work), you
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!
Music Explorers™ (2 – 4 Years)
KinderCare families are already giving a standing ovation to our newest Learning
Adventures program: Music Explorers! Kids will learn to sing, move, listen, play
instruments, and even create their own tunes. Our original curriculum blends math,
science, social studies, literacy, and mindfulness (think yoga!) for a uniquely KinderCare
way of learning the foundations of music.
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.
Family Stories
Don’t take our word for it. Hear what our families have to say about our amazing center!
My son has been enrolled with Neenah KinderCare for a little over a year, and in this short period of time I have been able to establish a very essential relationship with the amazing teachers and Director at this location. Being able to communicate the needs and expectations of his development is something that I value, and they have made this usually very difficult task into something simple and exceptional. I value their dedication and determination to ensure that the environment, as well as the material, is always meeting his needs. I am very involved with my child’s education and well-being, and the staff have made it extremely easy for me to know what is going on in the class room and what they are involved in on a day-to-day process. He is also involved in the Phonics program that is offered. In the time that he has spent growing and learning with this program, I have been able to notice an exceptional progress in being able to recognize and write the different letters of the alphabet as well as the “sounds” that are associated with them. I have personally referred a number of different families to this center with only positive feedback in return for the experience and care that their children have received. This is a “Five Star” center, which I feel is a sincere understatement for the above-average staff and learning environment that I have witnessed firsthand from KinderCare. There are some people that I would love to recognize for their hard work and reliable communication that I depend on daily: Ms. Tiffany, who is the teacher in my child’s room, has been able to help him with respecting his friends and teachers, has taught the material in a way he can understand it, and has helped him love coming to school as well as take his learning development seriously. She is always happy to be there and shows love and attention to each child. As for Ms. Jill, who is the Director at the center–she is by far one of the most amazing people that I have encountered in this industry! She shows concern and passion for every family and child, works hand-in-hand with her staff, and always goes above and beyond the duties of any other Director. These women have made my life much easier with feeling comfortable and encouraging in the aspects of my son’s future in his education! This center is much more than a daycare and much more than a baby sitter; KinderCare has proven to be an investment in my child’s future and present well-being and learning.

Victoria Cherkesova
Our team has been going for more than one year to open the Sun School project in Kazan, and now, finally, we are ready to offer your child an excellent kindergarten, where everything is thought out to the smallest detail. Everything for our children to grow up happy and healthy! English is taught exclusively in a playful way using the unique Talented and Gifted methodology. This is a complete immersion in the English language environment with an individual approach to each child. After such classes, the child will not only form the correct speech language structures, but there will also be no problems with the transition from one language to another in the process of communication. When choosing a kindergarten, I advise parents to visit several educational institutions with their child and see everything with their own eyes, the children will feel where they are comfortable and interested. And of course, I invite everyone to join us on an excursion to a sunny kindergarten under azure skies!

The first day of autumn and the first assembly
In the morning we were met by bright and cheerful characters of fairy tales and saw off the children on the first day of school! A new academic year has begun, which means that we are returning to the tradition of our regular events – assemblies. At the assemblies, the guys talk about what they learned and learned in the classes on the topic of the week, prepare numbers and games together with the teachers for the children of the whole garden. And the first assembly of this academic year on Knowledge Day is dedicated to the groups themselves. The guys presented their groups and their names, showed their distinctive signs and “chips”. And, of course, we had a lot of fun!
August 28
Art and English
Bright, fun and in English! This is how art classes work at @sunschool.kazan! Colors, shapes, materials and actions with them – all this is best fixed in practice. Paint: liquid, solid, blue, red, sticky, with a smell… Receiving information from the maximum number of receptors, children remember qualitatively more!

Birthday of Sun School Kazan Premium
We are 5 years old! This is 5 whole years with you and your families, our dear parents! Someone has been with us since the very first day and this year has already become a graduate, and someone comes to us with their second and third child. For us, this is a very important indicator that we are chosen not by chance, but by heart and soul! The atmosphere of home comfort reigns within the walls of the garden and at holidays, and at classes, and on walks … Therefore, we can safely call us all “the Sun School family” and this is our very first anniversary, even an anniversary!
July 6
Outdoor picnic
Summer is the time for hiking, walking and just spending time in nature. Everything is green around, pleasant coolness in the shade of trees, and what a scope for outdoor games! Therefore, having collected everything necessary for a picnic, our guys set off on a mini-hike. We walked together to the clearing, sunbathed there under the sun, ran, jumped and worked up a very good appetite before dinner and a sound sleep at a quiet hour. Take an example from our guys!
June 10
Trip to ECOHOUSE
Mushroom Kingdom. This is not a fairy tale or cartoon footage. It turned out that mushrooms do have their own kingdom. And there is even a mushroom king: His Majesty the White Mushroom. And what a variety of types of mushrooms! Not every adult will remember everything at once. And our guys learned about each species and looked at some of them through microscopes! And we also managed to walk through the forest with an ornithologist, lure a titmouse with a twitter and see a couple of new unfamiliar birds. We made decoupage eco magnets as a keepsake and returned to our beloved Sun School with a carriage of impressions.
6 June
Summer program
Summer is definitely the most fun time! But we all know how difficult it is to return to a work schedule after a long break. The same is true for preschool education. But how, then, to give a child a rest and at the same time not “start” the knowledge gained over the year? We know the answer! The summer program developed by us immerses children in an exciting journey, gives new discoveries and emotions, and also keeps in good shape (and sometimes improves) the knowledge and skills of preschoolers! Ancient people, the secrets of dinosaurs, the structure of the planet, the properties of substances and much more have already been learned and will be learned by our guys! Join us, give your child a summer of adventure!
June 1st
Children’s Day
Children’s Day at Sun School was celebrated with a wonderful concert! The children met the long-awaited summer with the brightest performances: songs, dances, riddles and games. Everyone, without exception, took part in the creation of such a bright performance! And you will find even more photos and videos in our community on VKontakte.

Our kindergarten grew up with you, dear preschoolers! We wish you success in your future achievements and good luck!
The guys from the younger groups also joined in the congratulations.

Happy Easter
The theme of the week is Easter. For many, this holiday is associated with spring and the transition to even warmer and sunny weather.
And indeed! This week has been so sunny and warm! The guys made a lot of Easter crafts: egg baskets, lollipop eggs, an origami Easter bunny…
And what interesting tasks the teachers came up with: riddles and coloring books, crossword puzzles in English and a quest in search of chocolate eggs!
And we also talked about changes in nature at this time: buds on plants bloom, birds sing loudly and make nests, animals and insects, waking up from hibernation, begin to look for a mate and equip a home.
At Sun School Kazan we not only celebrate every holiday, but also learn a lot of new and interesting things!
April 12
COSMONAUTIUS DAY
This week was devoted to the theme of space! The children learned about the structure of the solar system, the names of the planets and constellations, played rocket launch and made aliens.
And today the 7th group has prepared an assembly in honor of Cosmonautics Day!
The guys told about the planets – our neighbors, clearly showed how our planet Earth revolves around the Sun and the months change, and the teachers held a quiz, and all together flew to the Moon with a funny incendiary dance!
ABC concept
A unique development concept helps develop a bright and confident personality. We have combined health care, the formation of intelligence and communication skills of children into a harmonious system – ABC.
Abilities (intelligence)
Development of intelligence through games and with pleasure.
Body (health)
Formation of a child’s strong immunity and care for a healthy lifestyle.
Communication (socialization)
Building relationships with other people and developing teamwork skills.
Our advantages
Video surveillance
All our gardens are equipped with video surveillance systems. You can see what your child is doing at any time through the smartphone application, which is especially important during the adaptation period.
Best educators
Mandatory requirements for candidates: higher pedagogical education, work experience, ability to find an approach to the child. All educators undergo regular training at the Sun School corporate university.
English
Our gardens are bilingual, which means that afternoon games and educational activities are held in English only.
Safety
A safe environment is the basis of the children’s space: special furniture without sharp corners made of environmentally friendly materials, certified toys, hypoallergenic detergents. Particular attention is paid to preventive measures: the premises are regularly ventilated, the air is disinfected using a recirculator, quartzization is carried out in accordance with SanPiN.
Healthy food
Balanced meals five times a day: two breakfasts, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner. The individual characteristics of the child are taken into account: allergies, food intolerances. The menu has been developed taking into account the current SanPiN and collections of recipes recommended for feeding children in kindergartens.
Children’s insurance
Kindergartens have an accident insurance system for children. Insurance coverage is valid not only in the garden, but also anywhere in the world, 24 hours a day.

Best Building Toys For Kids That Aren’t Legos
From the early days when I’d build towers for the kids to knock down to today when our floor is covered with elaborate mansions, spacecraft, and the oft-repeated “car hotel” (where Hot Wheels go to vacation?), our blocks and bricks are always in use.
While the Lego brand gets all the glory, families should know that Legos (and their little-kid sidekick, Duplos) are not the only STEM toys in town. If you’re looking for toys to inspire your kids’ creative and hands-on play, here are the nine best building toys for kids that are not Legos.
1. Magnetic Tiles
Whenever we discuss family gift lists, I inevitably say, “We could use more magnetic tiles.” No matter how many Magnatiles, Magformers, PicassoTiles, or Playmags we own, the kids always need more to finish that tower, castle, or spaceship.
The see-through shapes attach via magnets (secured inside the plastic casing), providing junior architects the flexibility to build complex structures that aren’t all 90-degree angles. On the flip side, your buildings will never be as sturdy as ones built from Legos or other snap-connecting blocks. Use your creation’s inevitable collapse to teach resiliency and the joy of rebuilding, while you wipe the tears away.
Buyer beware: Not all magnetic tile brands are compatible with each other. If the magnets don’t line up, the tiles won’t attach to each other.
2. Foam Blocks
Foam blocks are ideal for toddlers and preschoolers, but I can attest that my school-age children still build with ours. The lightweight, colorful shapes can be stacked into all kinds of precarious towers that won’t cause owies when they fall. Look for foam blocks that are BPA free if you’ve got a teether, or ones that float in the tub for extra play time. Creative play with foam blocks tends to expand beyond building; the long tube-shaped blocks are likely to become baseball bats and light sabers.
Blockaroo 10-Piece Robot Set
Soft, foam, magnetic blocks fit together, rotate 360° , and come in a variety of 3D shapes. Using safe, embedded magnets, Blockaroos click together…

You’ve reached your cart limit on this product.
3. Wooden Blocks
A nice set of wooden blocks is a gift that will last — and that your kids will never put away because they are not strong enough to lift a box full of blocks. Choose from painted or natural-finished sets, depending on your playroom aesthetic. The Tegu wooden blocks are a fan-favorite because they combine two building toys in one: They’re not just wooden, they’re magnetic too, so kids can easily combine them into exciting shapes.
4. Plus Plus
Plus Plus are just what they sound like: Each block is made up of two combined “plus” shapes that allow kids to build mosaics, puzzles, or more complex 3D creations of their own devising. Keep these nifty little blocks out somewhere in your house and it’s an absolute guarantee that anyone (not just the kids) will start building something fun with them any time they pass by.
5. Marble Runs
Marble runs are slightly less open-ended than Legos because you are specifically building a bobsled course for marbles. However, the possibilities for how to build your marble run are endless, and not only can your family try out a variety of designs, but they can test the speed of their tracks and race marbles once they’re complete. Budding physicists and engineers can test their skills, and accessories like jumps, swings, and chain lifts let you add to the set over time. If your family likes healthy competition, in addition to building challenges, a marble run would be a great addition to your toy collection.
6. Clixo
Clixo is a building toy set full of multicolored shapes that look kind of like fidget spinners with magnets on them. They connect to each other in a satisfyingly clicky way so kids can build cool creatures, robots, STEAM-punky machines, or just abstract creations. They’re super fun and satisfying to use, and kids can create almost anything with these bad boys.
7. Waffle Blocks
Since the time of Pythagoras, it has been known that the “waffle” is the perfect shape, melding form and function in an ideal fashion that cannot be improved upon. Did I just make this up because I like waffles a lot? Yes, probably. But these blocks are super fun and versatile — great for making castles and buildings, and easy for little hands to pull apart and build back up again!
8. Magformers
These sturdy magnet tiles are great for making houses, churches, schools, or super-cool future buildings the world has never seen before! The magnets never reject, so the building experience is full of easy, clicky fun, and junior architects will love the endless construction possibilities these colorful tiles provide.
9. Squigz
The genius of Squigz is that they use suction to stick together, which allows for a completely unique building experience. The other cool thing about Squigz is it’s an incredibly fun word to say. And I guess if I had to say one more cool thing about Squigz, it’s that they look more like quirky little alien creatures than building blocks. Oh, and also, they’re so much fun to build with!

What toys do your kids need
WHAT TOYS DO YOUR CHILDREN NEED?
The normal development of a child, the formation of his inner world is unthinkable without a game, and, consequently, without a toy. At all times, adults choose and buy toys for children. They were and remain the highest rated product. At first glance, the current abundance removes all the problems with acquiring funny new clothes for the guys, but in fact, the problem of choosing has now become much more difficult. So that you, adults, can navigate the vast elements of the toy market, we will talk about how to choose the right and useful toy for your child.
What is a toy?
A toy is a special item designed exclusively for playing and it has no other purpose. A toy is a conditional reflection of real events and objects with which children act. Conventionality and generalization allows you to use the same toy in different games. Too realistic toys cease to interest the child, as they limit their game plan. The toy is the material basis for the game of a preschool child, and therefore has a positive effect on the formation of his personality.
How do you usually choose toys?
This
quite a spontaneous process. Or the child liked something in the store, and
adults decide to please, or they choose another gift for the baby according to
at your own discretion, focusing on price, novelty, brightness. As a rule, they are not
think about the pedagogical expediency of toys. If you buy or
give a child a lot of toys, then nothing will please him. He easily
will break and throw away the toy, knowing that they will buy him a new one. If all available toys
homogeneous – this will lead to the monotony of the plot of the game. Sort the toys
temporarily remove the same type, after a while beat them with the child.
For example, create a situation where a doll returns from a long trip. Or
divide the toys into several equal sets and periodically (one or two
once a month) change them. If there are two or three children in a family, then they should have
both general and individual toys. Teach your child to clean up after themselves
This will help instill discipline and responsibility in the future.
Sometimes children really ask and even demand to buy a new toy.
Psychologists do not recommend using the word “never”, for example: “You will never have this toy, I will never buy it for you.” We need to understand this situation. For example, a toy is good, and you don’t have money to buy it now, which means you can promise your child that Santa Claus will give it, or find an alternative that is much cheaper. Attention of a small child try to switch.
Properly selected toy contributes to the mental development of the child: versatile toys contribute to the expansion of children’s ideas about the world around them, the expansion and enrichment of the vocabulary of children occurs, sensory development occurs, as well as the development of thought processes. The toy also contributes to the formation of the foundations of moral behavior: it contributes to the emergence of joint play with peers and the establishment of positive relationships. The toy evokes aesthetic feelings in children, encourages them to be active, thereby satisfying the needs of children in mobility. Thanks to the toy, elementary labor skills are formed in children: children wash, repair toys, and some of them represent tools.
Thus, the toy, being a companion of children’s games, has an educational effect on the kids, contributes to their harmonious development.
So how do you choose the right toy for your child?
The toy should be dynamic, give children the opportunity to perform a variety of actions. Toys with a strictly fixed pose of animal puppets do not meet this requirement. Toys can also reflect healthy humor, a cheerful, funny attitude to the original, but without ridicule, caricatures: the toy must reflect the typical, be well designed. Hygienic requirements for toys provide for the safety of using them. They are painted with resistant and safe paints and should be easily subjected to hygienic treatment (washing, wiping with disinfectant solutions, ironing). When choosing a toy, you need to understand what goal you set for this toy, you must take into account the interests and age of children.
There are different types
toys for preschool children.
These are plot, or figurative, toys – dolls, animal figurines, furniture, dishes, household items. The central place is given to the doll. It is associated with a variety of experiences of children. During the game, they seem to animate the doll, talk to it, trust their secrets and joys, take care of it. On the basis of actions with this type of toys, children develop a director’s game – one of the varieties of independent plot games. In this game, the child acts as a creator, reflecting reality. Adults need to pay attention to the content and speech accompaniment of the game in order to understand the inner world, interests and needs of the child. Actions with these toys are simple, so they can be offered to both toddlers of two years old and older preschoolers of six to seven years old. The next type of toy is
technical toys
. These include images of modern technology: transport, construction equipment, communications, designers, elementary technical means. Particularly popular with children are a variety of LEGO constructors that develop fine motor skills, orientation in space, thinking, and creativity. Interest is in children of four to seven years. In addition, there are
toys – fun
– funny figures of animals, animals, men, for example, a bunny playing a drum. They are based on movement, surprise, unexpectedness. Their purpose is to amuse children, to cause laughter, empathy, joy, to cultivate a sense of humor. Such toys are intended for children from one year to three or four years.
Masquerade-Christmas decorations
are associated with the celebration of the New Year. Children from an early age understand that these toys are the gift of the Christmas tree, and make it beautiful, elegant. Christmas decorations cause them joy, delight, and at the same time contribute to the development of subtle movements, careful handling of fragile things.
Musical toys
are like real musical instruments. Used for games by children of all ages.
Theatrical toys
are figurative in content, but have a special purpose – they serve the purposes of aesthetic education, development of speech, imagination. These include, for example, Parsley, bibabo dolls (a toy is a glove that is put on a hand so that one finger holds its head, and the other two hold its hands). Theatrical toys require certain skills from children, therefore they are relevant for children from three to seven years old.
Motor sports toys
designed to solve problems of physical development: promoting the development of fine motor skills of the fingers (mosaic), contributing to the development of various muscle groups (balls, jump ropes), contributing to the development of basic types of movements (bicycles, skis, rollers, toys for grouping sports games, (hoop,
Didactic toy
contributes to the solution of various educational tasks. These include folk toys, puzzles, construction toys, board-printed games. These toys are offered to children from three to seven years
A special group is represented by construction toys consisting of geometric bodies. Among them are large-sized, such as scooters, children’s pedal cars, tractors, etc. Sitting at the table, the child will most likely want to play with small, stable toys, but small toys are not suitable for the street.
DIY toys – made by adults together with children, or by children themselves from various materials. As a rule, such toys are the most favorite for children of all ages, because they evoke positive memories in the child of making toys together with mom. Therefore, it is necessary to allocate at least a little time for such a positive interaction with your baby, as a result of which the child’s trust and interest in cooperation with mommy is formed. Many of you parents have probably noticed that your child has different toys, but he does not play with them. And this is due to the fact that he simply does not know how to play all this. The child is told: “Play!”. He takes the toys and with a boring face puts the astronaut on a zebra, and the Malvina doll on a rhinoceros, then turns on the motorcyclist and watches for a long time how he spins on the floor. By themselves, toys will not mean anything to a child if he does not know how and what to play with them. We advise you to play with toys together with your child, prompting and showing actions with them. This is especially important for the youngest children, who do not yet have sufficient experience.
Every child has a favorite toy. Most children have a soft toy. The most important purpose of this toy is to give the baby tenderness. This feature is used by psychotherapists and pediatricians. As practice shows, a fluffy bear, a cute elephant or a shaggy dog can “cure” a child from fears and even nocturnal enuresis. Some very deep needs of a small creature, and not only human, are embodied in a soft toy.
American psychologists, the Harlows, while studying monkey babies, found the following: if a monkey is given the opportunity to choose between two “surrogate mothers”, one of which is made of wire, but with a bottle of milk, and the other is made of faux fur, but without a bottle, then a frightened hungry cub chooses a second, soft and cozy, giving him a much-needed sense of security. No wonder our little kids love furry animals so much.
And I especially want to draw your attention to toys such as monster toys. All kinds of toys can be attributed to the category of monsters – transformers, man-machine, man-monster, man-robot. These toys can teach a child cruelty and indifference to suffering. In Russian fairy tales, there are both dragons and monsters, but they always take the side of evil, while positive heroes are never monsters. Such fairy tales and games based on them teach children to distinguish good from evil, drawing a clear line between them. The various monsters offered now participate in the game both on the side of good and evil forces, so it is sometimes difficult for a child to distinguish good from evil, “bad” from “good”. Games based on the content of warlike cartoons with toys – monsters, form aggression in children, an attitude towards violence as something completely normal.
The fact that the child’s negative characters, according to psychologists, is associated with the emotions of aggressiveness. It happens that the tendency to super-armament is due to an acute need for protection from the outside world. A child who owns monsters gets a chance in the game (but not in life) to feel powerful. The desire to have monsters is a kind of test for a certain state of the son: the more he is attached to such toys, the more time he spends in their company, the more vulnerable, insecure and anxious he feels.
For excitable children, playing with monsters is a way to release excess energy. But more often the toy does not calm, but irritates the child even more, forms a mental dependence. Playing with monsters cannot be banned, just as children’s fears and anxiety cannot be banned. You can only help the child create a different playing field in which the needs of boys to feel powerful and fearless will be realized. Therefore, dear parents, do not try to buy such scary toys for children that terrify them and promote aggression. There are other options, for example, it is known that children love to dress up. To do this, they do not need intricate costumes – they are content with a separate element, a sign.
7 Simple Ways of Teaching Foreign Language to Preschoolers
If your child is between the ages of 2 and 5, you may be wondering how to teach them a new language.
Whether this is just a second language spoken in your family, a heritage language, or even just a second language you would like to learn as a family, starting in preschool is the right choice.
But how do you actually go about teaching a foreign language to a preschooler? I have 7 simple tips that can help your preschooler acquire a new language.
How to Introduce a Foreign Language?
There are many ways to introduce a foreign language to a child. If you speak a heritage language, simply speaking it around your child in a one parent one language approach is one way. Another way is to introduce the new language in the context of their play. There is also one parent one language approach.
1.
One Parent One Language
This method involves each parent speaking one language with the child. So if one parent is fluent in Arabic and the other parent is fluent in Spanish, each parent would only speak with the child in their respective language.
This became popular in 1908 when Jules Ronjat used it with his own child and popularized the method. This is still a popular method of teaching your child a second language today.
2.
Learning in a Playful Way- Simon Says
If you are introducing a foreign language to your child, you can do so while playing. This helps them remember what they learned during play, and it also gives the parent a chance to use the second language with their child.
For instance, if your child is fluent in English, you can teach them a new word in their second language while playing a language game as Simon Says.
Simon can give partial or complete commands in the second language. Children can use their context clues (or hints from you) to figure out what was said.
5 More Ways to Teach a Foreign Language
There are many different approaches to teaching a foreign language to kids. You can use games, reading bilingual books, TV/movies, and more to teach your little one to speak a second language.
While I am saying teach your child a second language, it’s more about acquiring the language through conversation and using it.
3.
Play Missing Word
Young children are very good at using context clues to understand what you’re saying. If you miss a word, your child can make a guess and is usually right.
So instead of missing a word, you can replace a word in a sentence, so your child starts learning the vocabulary of their soon-to-be new language.
For instance, if you teach your child Spanish, you can say, “It’s time to brush los dientes,” instead of “It’s time to brush your teeth.”
They can use their context clues to start figuring out what it is time for.
We played this with my children, mostly with articles of clothing first, then body parts. Slowly our sentences became more the new language than the old language.
4.
Reading Bilingual Books
Books that have words in both their native language and the language you want them to learn are an excellent resource for when you are teaching the new language.
Some bilingual books feature word exchanges, as we did in the game above.
Other bilingual books have the story written in both languages, so you can read the same passage in both languages to your child.
5.
Using TV shows and Movies to Teach a Foreign Language to Preschoolers
Tv shows and movies are a great way to make language learning fun and engaging for young children.
If you are teaching your child a new language, I recommend watching one of the Disney Junior programs in that language, if possible.
If that is not possible, find cartoons in the new language and play those. You will be amazed at how much language your child will acquire in this way.
Start with short 15-minute episodes and slowly work your way up.
You can also use this method for reading cartoon books for practice as well. If you aren’t familiar with the vocabulary in the cartoon books, you can find the words on Youtube or Google and print them out for practice.
6. Sing Children Songs in the New Language
Simple children’s songs that revolve around animals, colors, letters, and numbers are an excellent way to practice language skills with your preschooler.
Singing in the new language is a great way to introduce the language. Your child will learn to associate words with actions.
7.
New Language I Spy
Once your child starts to learn colors and shapes in the new language, you can start using that new knowledge to play I Spy but in their new language.
This allows them to learn new words as well.
If they do not know the word once they figure out the clues, it is an excellent opportunity to teach that word to your child.
I Spy is played by one person saying, “I Spy with my little eye,” and then telling them to find something.
For example, I said, “I spy with my little eye something that is…” And include new vocabulary words.
You can even say the entire phrase in your new language. If the child uses the native word when they figure out the clue, gently give them the word in the new language.
What is the best age to start learning a second language?
The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association recommends that children should be introduced to a foreign language early, either as toddlers or preschoolers.
Research on the subject has shown that it is not necessary to start teaching foreign languages at an early age for a child to learn the language, so don’t feel like you missed your window. Introducing another language is always beneficial to children.
Many parents worry about their child being able to learn a foreign language because of how young they are.
Children of this age can absorb new information effortlessly and retain it without much effort, even if they are in elementary school or preschool.
Considering Immersion as a Teaching Option?
One of the most drastic but quickest ways to learn a new language at any age is through immersion. Many people do this (we did!) and find success. If you’re considering moving overseas for your children’s language learning but are still struggling to decide if it’s right, get access to my masterclasses where I help guide you through pros and cons and the all-important “but can we afford it,” issue.
The Takeaway
Teaching a preschooler a new language should not be like teaching a high schooler a new language.
Leave the flashcards behind and help your preschooler acquire language through fun games and everyday exposure.
Teaching a preschooler a new language should not be rushed.
Your child will learn the words relevant to the task at hand. With time, they will become proficient in the new language.

Teaching Foreign Language to Preschoolers: 4 Practical Tips
Inside: Tips and tricks on teaching foreign language to preschoolers.
Today I’m welcoming Josefina Cabello, who is an Ecuadorian Spanish Teacher in Tennessee and TpT creator. She has been teaching Spanish since 2011, taught ESL for 5 years in Ecuador, and loves empanadas (I’m right there with you, Josefina!). She’s got some practical tips for those of us teaching that extra-lovable and extra-wiggly age: preschool learners!
Teaching preschoolers for the first time can get a little challenging. The famous saying “time flies” becomes a reality with these kids. Having extra activities “just in case” becomes a must for every lesson planning.
After almost 10 years of teaching, my preschool classes are the ones I find the easiest when it comes to plan and teach. Here are my 4 tips when you are teaching foreign language to preschoolers.
You also might like: Preschool Spanish Lessons and Ideas.
TIP #1: PLAN AHEAD AND A LITTLE EXTRA.
Plan accordingly and ahead. Depending on the time length of your class, plan activities to keep your students engaged
Here is a how a typical preschool class goes for me (30 minutes period)
Sing songs or chants to review colors, numbers and shapes. (length: 5 minutes)
Introduce content: Bring something to get student’s attention, use realia, puppets, costumes, the list is endless. But this stage is very critical to keep students engaged (length: 5-7 minutes)
Review content: Use flashcards, memory game, bingo, I spy, anything visual and that keep students moving (length: 10 minutes)
Worksheet or group work: I create worksheets where students have to cut, paste, circle, color or follow my commands. Work together with your students, monitor them at all times. (length: 5 minutes)
Extras: We read a book, watch a video or play a game to review our content. This extra is always good in case any of the previous activities do not work right.
TIP #2: DON’T BE AFRAID TO BE SILLY!
Kids love it when you “play games” or “act silly.” It’s like you are speaking their language (even if you are speaking, say, Spanish). Bring on the puppets and action figures, kids love it when teachers use toys to teach their lessons.
When I am showing my flashcards teaching parts of the body, I love to joke with my kids. I tape a flashcards to my arm or to my nose and act like I do not know where it is. This way when kids say “your nose” I say “Oh, mi nariz?” and is not until my student repeats the word “nariz” I miraculously find the flashcard.
TIP #3: LISTEN TO YOUR PRESCHOOLERS, BUT STAY ON TASK.
Johnny wants to tell you about the Daniel Tiger episode when the cake got smushed. Sandy wants to show you her Peppa pig t-shirt and Danny wants to tell you about the Paw Patrol party he had on Saturday. Kids love it when you listen, and even more when you get engaged in the conversation, but you also need to stay on task. A sweet and nice way to ask them to stay on task could be by replying: “that sounds great, maybe we can talk about that after our circle time” or “I love Paw Patrol! maybe you tell me a little bit more after our circle time”. Keep your promise and ask them later.
When students are working on their worksheets, when you see them on the carpool line or in the cafeteria, show them you care. Tell Johnny that you hope Daniel Tiger gets a new cake on tomorrow’s episode, tell Sandy her new Peppa Pig shirt looks so pretty and ask Danny who is his favorite pup from Paw Patrol (just say yours is Chase or Marshall).
I created these for my students to review “feelings”. I have some Daniel Tiger fans in my classroom. They were beyond thrilled with these.
TIP #4: KEEP IT SHORT, FUN AND FRESH
Short: I try to keep my activities’ length no more than 5 minutes. Preschoolers have a short attention span and once you lose the attention from a couple of kids, it is a domino effect in the classroom.
Fun: Keep them moving. Teach them a “bachata” song to introduce the word “amigo”, play “flyswatter” to review family members vocabulary, or review Christmas vocabulary with fun activites.
Fresh: Preschoolers like routines, but also things that are new and fresh. Keep the routine for songs and chants to review numbers and colors. But bring some fun elements to the classroom, specially when you are introducing new content.
If you include flashcards in your class, here are some fun ideas:
Find your match: Give a group of students the labels and another group the pictures, ask them to find their match.
Left or right: Get two flashcards and place one on your left hand and one on your right hand. Call out one flashcard and make students guess in which hand you have it.
Flyswatter: Place all flashcard on the board. Give 2 students a fly swatter and ask them to “hit” the word you call out.
Thief in the market: Choose a small number of flashcards (say 5). Show these flashcards to your students. Ask your students to cover their eyes and invite one student to open his/her eyes and “steal” one card. They can either guess who stole the card or they can tell which card is missing. Great way to review “tienes” and “no tengo”
Most important, be yourself and enjoy teaching these little ones! They have so much energy and can bring so much joy to your everyday teaching.

Easy Ways to Teach Your Child a Foreign Language From 0-6 Years
Did you know that your kiddo’s young mind is wired to pick up new languages naturally?
Lucky them, huh! Us adults can have a tougher time getting a handle on new vocabulary.
This is why it’s ideal to introduce a second language early, even while they’re still learning English.
Giving your child a motivating, fun environment and activities to learn new words will help boost the cognitive milestones they hit in those early learning stages.
Let’s take a look at some easy-peasy ways to nurture your child’s second language development at home from bubs to 8 years old.
Play-based learning activities (Babies – 4 years)
Play is the universal language of kids and plays (pardon the pun) an incredibly important role in helping your child learn new words and phrases. If you missed my article about play-based learning, I recommend checking it out over here.
Play helps develop listening skills, the ability to follow directions, develop vocabulary and social skills – like sharing.
Talk through what you and your child are doing during playtime, introducing new vocabulary along the way.
You can build play into everyday activities and create an opportunity to use the target language, making a game out of getting dressed, playing with different utensils when prepping food, or bath time. If you’re looking for practical ideas on how to get started, make sure you get your hands on my free guide: How To Teach Your Kids a Second Language: Even If You’re Not Fluent
In our weekly language lessons, I follow a step by step guide that includes a 30 minute play-based lesson plans in our Cultured Home programs designed specifically to develop language skills.
And P.S – we’ve received awesome feedback from parents about our lesson plans, so check them out!
Get moving! (3 – 4 years)
This is a great activity to nurture the development of action words – and burn off extra energy!
Basically, you call out the action RUN! JUMP! CLAP! SPIN! in your target language and then do the action together. A good game to play outside.
Create a learning space (3 – 6 years)
The learning environment is called the third teacher in the Reggio Emilia approach to learning and creating a stimulating space at home where your kiddo can play is important.
Now, I love Pinterest inspo as much as the next mum, but you definitely don’t have to create a Pinterest-worthy playroom or space. It just needs to be simple and functional with a happy vibe!
Your space might include –
A mini library
A collection of a few age-appropriate books in the target language and a chair or bean bag to get comfy reading in.
A play area
This could be an area with a small table and a shelf holding toys that are sorted into plastic tubs.
You can label the tubs with images and words in English and the second language; for example Animals / Animali (Italian) for the plastic bin of farm animals.
Tools to create art
Keep an art caddy with basic materials for your child to do simple activities like worksheets for coloring, drawing and tracing words.
Through coloring, toddlers develop their fine motor skills, which is helpful when it’s time to learn how to write.
You want to create an inviting space that your child wants to come to – yep, this means it’s gonna need to be somewhere close to the action (ie – you) otherwise it won’t be used.
Keep up a constant narrative (Babies – 2 years)
For bubs through to little toddlers, talking through what you’re doing, even though they won’t talk (coherently!) back, is important to give them as much language exposure as possible. Use the same sentences when doing routine activities like getting dressed.
If you’re a non-native speaker, translate the common words and phrases you need and begin to use them – your bub won’t be the only one learning a new language!
Choose toys that support language development (1 to 4 years)
Oh my, there are so many awesome toys out there that can help you teach your child a new language. Here are a few tried and true favourites I love to recommend-
Duplo
Toys don’t get much more classic than Duplo – Legos bigger brother. These blocks are great for freewheeling imaginative play and the chance to introduce new words to describe what your toddler is doing. The bright colours of the blocks are also perfect for introducing colours in the new language.
Schleich Animals
These animal figurines are brilliant for independent play and particularly for learning animal names in the new language.
Grimm’s Blocks
Grimm’s blocks are gorgeous. These natural toys are well renowned educational toys used extensively in kindergartens and by speech and occupational therapists.
Activities with a clear beginning, middle, and end, are great too. Things like wooden puzzles, shape sorters, stacking rings, and simple sorting activities.
Label things around the house (4 – 8 years)
This is a tip for the older kids, 4 to 8 years. Putting labels on things they see regularly is a great way to help them memorise new words in the target language.
Label stuff like the fridge, mirror, furniture, appliances, electronics, and toys. If you’re not a native speaker yourself, this is a handy way for you to pick up new vocabulary too!
Make vocabulary ‘drills’ fun with flashcards (3 – 8 years)
High repetition vocab drills definitely play a role in learning new words and phrases – the problem with repetitive learning activities though is kids can get bored of them really quickly.
Unless you make them interesting with super fun flashcards! That’s one of the reasons I created our Cultured Home illustrated flashcard packs, to bring awesomeness back to word ‘drills’.
Create a routine for learning time with flashcards, it might be 10 minutes in the morning after breakfast or at night before bedtime. You can show the card and make up sentences using the words that are relevant to your child.
One Person One Language Method (Babies – 8 years)
If you or your partner are native-speakers, you can use one of the most common strategies for raising bilingual kids – the ‘one person, one language’ method.
Basically, each parent consistently speaks a different language to the child. You might speak native Spanish with your child, while your partner speaks with them in English.
This method is widely recognised as one of the best ways to teach a child two languages from birth because it ensures your child has regular exposure to both languages.
Have a daily ‘foreign language’ set time at home (3 – 8 years)
This is one’s for the native-speaking mamas. Set a time each day, the same time, where you only speak in the target language to your kiddos.
The idea is to have natural conversations, rather than structured lessons. It’s just you and them going about your usual activities but switching from English to the target language.
Non-native mamas, you can set up a specific daily time too, but it would be more lesson / activity-based, rather than just talking.
Use car time for video language engagement (2 – 8 years)
Video lessons / watching content in the target language is important for your child to get enough exposure to the native tongue if you don’t speak the language yourself.
I think car time is a great opportunity to play some videos on a device and keep your kiddos entertained and learning while you’re running errands – and is one of the main reasons we created our video language lessons – so you can play them on the go or at home!
Get out and explore different cultural events (All ages!)
Travelling overseas with your kids is an incredible learning experience for language exposure. But, if the budget doesn’t quite stretch to a paella fuelled family trip to Barcelona (*sigh) no worries!
It’s as easy as googling ‘cultural events / festivals in __________’ to find a festival celebrating another culture in your city.
Eating in a restaurant that serves traditional food or checking out museum exhibits that showcase cultures around the world is also a great way to create a cultural experience without jumping on a plane.
I hope these tips have started to get you excited about just what’s possible with your kids and help you take that next step.

Foreign language teaching methods to help children speak fluently
So, you need to encourage your child to use the words they learn as often as possible outside the classroom, because the best way to learn any language is to use it.
Of course, the role of parents can be crucial here. First, the key thing is to motivate the child, not force them. When they are young, children acquire knowledge best in stress-free and pressure-free environments – through play. Therefore, it is necessary to create a stimulating and supportive environment for learning a foreign language.
What does a stimulating environment for language learning look like?
A child should feel safe and protected, and learn a second language outside of school in a completely natural way, similar to the way they’ve acquired their native language.
We need to praise and reward the child for everything they do right. If they encounter an obstacle, it is important to support them and overcome it together.
If you feel the child is tired, let them have some rest and enjoy other activities. Simply, learning a foreign language outside the classroom should be more like play than formal education.
Experts may not be able to tell you what the easiest way to learn a foreign language is, but they do recommend the best time when your child should start acquiring it. Specifically:
Research categorically proves that learning foreign languages at an early age gives the best results. Therefore, your child should acquire a second language in addition to their native language.
However, what is it that enables children to acquire languages more easily than adults?
Natural acquisition. When they start acquiring their native language, young children use their innate, instinctive strategies of language acquisition which enable them to start speaking at such an early age. It is similar with foreign languages – the younger the children, the more they will rely on these innate strategies and be more successful. An example of this is children whose parents speak different native languages. Such children will easily master both languages in early childhood.
In contrast, as children grow up, these effective innate strategies give way to other forms of learning, so they start learning languages by memorizing words and grammar rules, similar to the way they learn other school subjects, and consequently, the language in question is no longer a natural part of the child’s expression.
More time and space. When they are in preschool or early primary school, children still don’t have as many responsibilities nor do they receive huge amounts of information which leaves more space in their brains for learning foreign languages.
One of the best indicators of whether a child will be able to speak a second language fluently is the time when they started learning it. Children who started learning a foreign language later in life will often master its grammar rules without difficulty, but they will always differ from children who started learning it at an early age in one thing – pronunciation.
Children who naturally acquire a second language at an early age often have far better pronunciation and a sense of language than their friends who started learning the same language later. The language simply becomes part of their natural environment, and as a result, their command of it later in life is far better.
Many children picked up a language at a very early age simply by watching cartoons, mastering the grammar rules later when they already possessed a developed sense of that language.
So, regardless of whether your child is in kindergarten, preschool or primary school, you need to occasionally work with them in your free time to help them master a foreign language and speak it fluently.
There are many interesting and educational ways to help you achieve this while having fun with your child and doing something useful.
7 Foreign language teaching methods to help your child master a foreign language
1. Learn together
To help your child solve math problems, you need to be able to do arithmetic. If you want to teach them to read and write, you have to be literate yourself. And what about foreign languages, do you have to speak a language in order to help your child acquire it?
Yes and no.
Here’s the secret:
If you have already mastered the basics of the foreign language your child is learning, it will certainly be much easier to help them by learning together with them. Grab this opportunity to master the basics of a foreign language with your child.
Don’t be embarrassed and don’t hold back: your goal is, first and foremost, to help your child, and you know you are ready to do anything for them. In addition, this is also an opportunity for you to learn the basics of a foreign language, so use it. Think of this as a great opportunity to spend quality time with your child doing something useful and constructive.
We will tell you a secret:
Children learn through observation and models, i.e. they imitate examples from their environment. This way, you will teach your child much more than the knowledge of language – you will imbue them with a positive attitude toward learning.
Namely, when your child sees that learning is something you do with pleasure, they will understand that it is a positive activity people practice all their lives, and that this activity can be fun and will bring them closer to their parents, which is the ultimate desire of every child.
If your child adopts a positive attitude toward learning at an early age, they will cultivate it throughout their life, and this means that you will not have the problem most parents face. You will not have to force your child to study, because they will acquire good work habits and develop a responsibility toward learning from an early age.
2. Play games in a foreign language
When they are young, children learn spontaneously about the world around them – through everyday activities. However, one of the best and most efficient forms of learning is through their favorite activity – play.
Learning through play is a proven method for the acquisition of a foreign language. For example, playing hide-and-seek with children can be a great way to teach them to count in that language. Also, the use of educational technology gives excellent results in foreign language learning at an early age.
You can find a number of interesting games or applications online, such as interactive puzzles that can help your child to learn the names of colors, animals and shapes in different languages. This way, apart from adopting words of a foreign language, the child will simultaneously acquire other important knowledge about the world.
3. Play cartoons and children’s shows in a foreign language
When learning a foreign language, you must take the following into account – there is a big difference between language exposure and language learning.
Usually, when we talk about language learning, we mean learning the grammar rules, memorizing words and drills. However, the most important thing for young children is to be exposed to the sounds, rhythm and melody of a language. And one of the best ways to do it is playing cartoons and children’s shows.
At a young age, children master speech by listening, repeating and associating words with certain actions. This is why many children are able to master a foreign language simply by watching cartoons in that language.
Also, many cartoons and TV shows are designed specifically for language learning where children are introduced to the meaning and pronunciation of words through the adventures of the cartoon heroes.
Exposure to a foreign language from an early age has another great effect on your child. It will make their pronunciation similar or indistinguishable from the pronunciation of a native speaker.
Simply, children are great imitators and adopt new things easily at an early age, including pronunciation, unlike older students who almost always retain their native accent.
4. Singing songs in a foreign language
Children love songs, and melody helps them memorize a number of words, which is why songs are a great memorization and learning technique. Singing songs in the target language is a great and efficient way to help your child master a foreign language, but also a great opportunity to spend some time together and have fun. Find children’s songs on YouTube that your child may like and don’t be afraid to sing along. Before you know it, your child will learn the song by heart.
5. Read books in a foreign language
You will find a number of specialized books for learning different languages from an early age in bookstores. With your help in reading, writing and meaning of words, your child will soon master the meaning and pronunciation of foreign words. You can also read simple bedtime stories in a foreign language. Such stories usually contain common phrases so the child will easily memorize them.
6. Include a foreign language into your daily activities
In early childhood, children absorb everything like sponges, so you don’t need any special aids for learning. Simply, go to the park, shop, or the playroom and play a game by first naming the objects, shapes and colors you encounter in your native language, and then in the target language. This is the best way for a child to learn words of the target language, because they will associate them with the objects and phenomena in their surroundings, and thus they will be able to actually use them when necessary.
This way, in addition to the foreign language, the child will also unconsciously strengthen their native language through play.
7. Learn a foreign language online
If your child has a second language at school, adopting a language in another, less formal way is a welcome distraction from classes, and a desirable and effective learning strategy. Learning a foreign language online is not only fun and often free, but also a good way for your child to further advance their language skills.
The great thing about learning a foreign language online is that it is completely in line with the children’s lifestyle: lessons are short and include tests, and children can solve these tests on their phone anywhere, between other activities. These sites and applications are packed full of engaging and fun activities for kids that will hold your child’s attention much better than traditional classes.
Acquiring a second language broadens our horizons, introduces us to other cultures and represents a valuable tool in our formation as a personality, and in our professional life. Parents have an important role in this process, just like school does. We hope the tips from this text will help you make the foreign language more relatable to your child.

When Is the Best Time to Start Learning a New Language?
It’s no secret that it takes significantly less effort for a child to learn a new language compared to an adult. It’s even easier for babies to learn two languages at the same time, considering that they’re a blank slate, whereas adults have to make a conscious effort to not apply grammar and pronunciation in their mother tongue to their target language.
This begs the question of when the optimal age is for learning a language to fluency. Is it during infancy? Does the probability of reaching native-level proficiency significantly decrease if a kid only starts learning a second language as a teen?
For a while, most people believed that kids must start learning in early childhood in order to become bilingual. However, an MIT study from 2018 indicates that it’s highly likely for children to become fluent in another language if they start before the age of 10. In addition, after the age of 18, learning grammar concepts in a new language become increasingly more difficult.
To be honest, the results of this study aren’t all that surprising. And while the research states a cutoff age or a critical period for foreign language acquisition, it doesn’t necessarily mean you can’t become bilingual, trilingual or even multilingual as an adult. It mostly depends on the learning strategy.
Think about it. Kids will easily learn their mother tongue or parents’ native language because they’re constantly surrounded by the language either at home, school or both. They pick up languages quickly through this immersive environment and they don’t spend as much time analyzing grammar structures.
Although immersion is definitely a learning method that adults can benefit from, maturity also comes with the ability to do better with explicit rules and explanations of language concepts.
So when is the best time, you ask?
The earlier you or your kids start, the better. Starting before age 10 is recommended.
But at the same time, know that it’s never too late to learn a new language!
3 Characteristics of a Kid-friendly Language Learning Program
Before I list the resources that you’re looking for, I’m going to give you the three most impoerant characteristics of a kid-friendly program. Think of them as the three equally supportive legs of a stool.
Interactivity
A language learning program tailored for kids is highly interactive. It engages the senses and imagination and makes the kids an important part of the learning process.
When dealing with children, a straight-up passive lecture isn’t effective. They barely can sit still, much less keep their eyes on the lesson. You’re dealing with short attention spans and so you need to use activity after activity to keep them engaged in the lesson.
A kid-friendly program gives children something to do—with their hands, their eyes, their imaginations. It doesn’t expect them to get through the whole thing without a fuss.
So an online resource full of boring text won’t be a hit. It’ll barely register. If a language learning program is full of paragraphs, then move on.
Kids don’t think of language learning as a linguistic goal made up of words and phrases. They think of it as an activity—a game, a dance, a song or an audiovisual experience. They engage in the experience and forget that they’re already learning about the language.
So it’s like you’re layering the lessons behind some fun activities.
This is unlike the adult programs where the language lessons are so explicit and in your face. It’s not like kids are going to say to themselves, “Okay, today I’m gonna memorize 10 vocabulary words about food.”
Creativity
I’m sure you’ve had the experience of asking your little one to do something she doesn’t want to do. You’re feeding her, for example, and she stops opening her mouth, resisting you at every turn. So you start getting creative. You turn that tiny spoon into an airplane, doing backflips and somersaults in the air. Sometimes it’s a train “choo-choo-choo-ing” into her mouth.
Eating is an activity, but your way is more fun and creative.
Memorizing a list of words from a sheet of paper is also an activity. But it’s hardly creative. When dealing with kids, a program has to rise to their level of creativity and imagination. I’m talking about bright colors, moving objects, talking animals, cartoon characters, changing scenery, storylines, rescue missions, interplanetary drama, etc.
Suddenly, your kid isn’t just learning about numbers, he’s counting gold coins in Czech so he can buy the flying pony he’ll use to rescue the princess. And when he’s done saving her, he gets to meet her family—the king, some rowdy uncles—and along the way, learn about family vocabulary. That’s an activity, and a creative one!
Variety
They say that variety is the spice of life. If the same thing is done over and over, the novelty soon wears off. It’s not a challenge anymore. It becomes a chore.
Kids will only engage with material if it still interests them. If there’s something new, something unexpected.
They don’t care if they learn the language lessons you want them to or not. They don’t look far into the future and think, “Being bilingual will raise my value at work.” They’re in the present, thinking, “What’s in it for me right now?”
And if it’s the same thing over and over, they’ll want nothing to do with it.
A good online language learning program for kids knows this. That’s why the creators throw in plenty of different activities. They try to teach the same lesson in different ways. For example, a lesson about numbers can be taught in a song. It can also be taught in a story, or a game, so the kids don’t get sick of the same lesson. Because hey, it’s not really the same lesson. (Wink!)
Resources can also test for the same vocabulary set in different ways, even involving different skills. They can test for pronunciation by asking the children to speak into a microphone, they can do word pairs and they can make the activity more interactive by asking the kids to type in the answer. They can also tap into that competitive spirit and facilitate language contests with other students online.
A good rule of thumb is that a really good online resource for kids will have at least five different types of creative activities.
With all that being said, I’m now going to show you some of the best online resources for kids today.
13 Online Language Learning Resources for Kids and Kids at Heart
Some of these programs are specifically made for kids, while others are all-ages programs that just happen to have features that are great for kids.
Both types of programs have their advantages. With programs designed for kids, you can rest assured that your children are being catered to by experts, whereas with general programs, you may be more inclined to join in on the fun!
Little Pim
Recommended age: 1-6
Available languages: Spanish, French, Mandarin Chinese, Italian, German, Arabic, Hebrew, Russian, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean and English/ESL with English or Spanish.
Adults might run for dear life at the sight of a bear, but kids think they’re cute and cuddly.
Little Pim, that lovable panda, can be your children’s video guide to learning any or all of the 12 languages on offer. What used to be recorded on multiple DVDs can now be video streamed or digitally downloaded, but you still get that Little Pim cuteness and goofy goodness that won the program over 25 awards.
Their learning system, the Entertainment Immersion Method, was developed by top language teachers and neuroscientists. It employs repetition, play and child-friendly themes to tap into toddlers’ natural love for learning. The videos are a combination of animations and live-action clips that introduce topics like colors and numbers. They run for only five minutes to accommodate a young audience.
The program has a single subscription for all the languages, which also includes offline activities and printable, as well as more resources and learning tips. A subscription will set you back $9.99 per month, or $69.99 for the whole year. You can also access the companion guides to each lesson for free for a visual representation of the language taught in the program.
FluentU
Android | iOS
Recommended age: all ages
Available languages: Chinese, Spanish, French, English, German, Japanese, Italian, Korean, Russian, Portuguese in development.
FluentU is your best bet for using authentic language learning videos and audio clips to teach languages the whole family will enjoy. While other programs often only have a handful of videos, FluentU has a wide variety of video clips that cover all language levels—from absolute beginners to advanced learners—as well as all ages.
FluentU takes real online videos and turns them into lessons that are personalized and digestible. You won’t have to struggle to get your kids away from the TV to do their language practice, because they’ll be able to watch the same sort of stuff they’d be entranced by on TV, anyway—but in the target language.
Videos range from content made specifically to appeal to children—like cartoons, music videos and movie trailers—to content you may enjoy yourself—such as politics, news and TED talks. This means you may want to help select content that’s appropriate for your child’s age, level and interests, but this is a great opportunity for you to get involved in the language learning process and for you and your kids to learn both individually and together as a family.
Each video comes with interactive subtitles that allow you to get an instant translation of unknown words as well as dictionary entries for each word. You can also practice these new words with personalized quizzes that allow for written and voice input.
MUZZY
Android | iOS
Recommended age: all ages
Available languages: Online: Spanish (Latin America or Catalonian), French, English (British or American), German, Italian, Mandarin Chinese and Korean. On DVD: Spanish, French, English, German, Italian and Mandarin Chinese.
MUZZY is the BBC’s answer to language learning for all ages. This immersion program, described as “The World’s #1 Language Course for Children,” is centered around animated characters and stories in video “episodes.” The episodes are designed to naturally build on one another, enabling your child to learn through an engaging, interactive method, rather than traditional “teaching.”
You can get started with the online program for $14.66 per month, or save by going with a semi-annual or annual plan. You also have the option of a DVD set with a risk-free trial period and payment plan. You can watch the videos wherever is convenient, whether that’s on the website or the apps, or through an on-demand service like Roku, FireTV or Chromecast.
The program will introduce your child to 600+ vocabulary words and cover everyday topics like telling time, talking about food, transportation, occupations, basic tenses (past, present and future), asking questions and more.
Since Muzzy BBC is effective for all types of learners and is meant to let your child learn the language naturally, it’s a great low-pressure way to expose kids to a second language at any age.
Duolingo
Android | iOS
Recommended age: all ages
Available languages: 37 languages (some in beta), including some unique options like Navajo and Scottish Gaelic, as well as fantasy languages like High Valerian and Klingon.
Duolingo is one of the most popular language-learning programs online. It’s so successful because it’s (mostly) free, and it gives adults permission to learn like little kids!
The app divides lessons into bite-sized game-like experiences. It uses repetition and different interactive activities to embed vocabulary into your mind and keep it fresh. Learners are given little tasks. The idea is, the more of these teenie tiny tasks they do, the better they’ll remember the target language.
Duolingo also uses audio prompts and pictures, as well as animal cartoon characters to keep things fun.
This combination of fun and learning makes Duolingo an excellent option for kids as well as adults, so you can easily participate in it with your child. You can guide him and give instant feedback, making for some great joint language learning!
Duolingo may look simple and straightforward, but there’s actually a lot going on under the hood. Learners may be asked to choose the translation of a word from the given choices. Sometimes, the actual translation needs to be typed. Sometimes, the task goes the other way and learners are given the English translation and are asked to supply the target language equivalent.
Duolingo repeats the tasks, goes back and forth between languages, mixes and matches previously learned words and keeps learners on their toes. It also does a good job of remembering the words learners have difficulty with so they can be offered for review.
Duolingo is free, but a premium subscription is available for $12.99 per month (or less if you commit to more time), and includes perks like no ads, offline access and unlimited use of the app.
Dino Lingo
Android | iOS
Recommended age: 2-12
Available languages: 51 languages including popular languages like Chinese, Spanish and German, and less popular choices like Danish, Pubjabi and Hawaiian.
Dino Lingo is an award-winning language program for kids, named so for the cute dinosaurs who introduce your kids to their target languages. The program gets children learning new languages through games, songs, videos, worksheets and more. Languages come with a wide range of excellent resources created with kids in mind, like audiobooks and storybooks, flashcards and games such as memory games and word wheels (for vocab acquisition).
The program covers everyday topics like household items, family, body parts, clothes, nature and actions. It does so in a colorful and fun way that’ll have your kids happily repeating these lessons over and over.
Dino Lingo offers a subscription for $19.99 per month, or $119 for a full year. You can also stream videos on your Smart TV
Parents can also print some easily downloadable worksheets and activity books, so you can not only work closely with your little one, but also get a window into the things that they’re learning. This way, you can gauge a child’s progress and give them a helping hand.
PetraLingua
Recommended age: 3-10
Availablelanguages: English, Spanish, Chinese, Russian, German and French.

All told, each course features around 500 basic words, 80 animated language-learning videos, 11 songs, 140 interactive online games, a talking picture dictionary and a downloadable activity book.
Each lesson opens with an introductory video that identifies the vocabulary set that can be learned in that lesson. This is then followed by a parade of reinforcing activities, exercises and games that’ll help kids learn the new words. These include listen-and-repeat, listen-and-click and word-matching tasks that allow the kids to deal with the words in different contexts.
All told, each course features around 500 basic words, 80 language learning videos, 11 language learning songs, 140 interactive online games and a talking picture dictionary. For as low as $7.99 a month, or $47.99 if you commit to a year, you have yourself a great deal.
You can now purchase physical learning sets for each language for $89.99. These sets come with DVDs, CDs, books, songs and games, and include a year’s access to the PetraLingua online program.
Mango Languages
Android | iOS
Recommended age: 6 and up
Available languages: 70+ languages, from popular options to lesser-known options.
Your kids are going to need headphones for this one. The uniqueness of the program lies in its focus on conversational skills. If you want your kids to study in the morning and try out their newly learned phrases on the whole family in the afternoon, go with Mango Languages. It has that effect on children.
Each lesson starts by listening to a few lines of basic dialogue or conversation. The audio is accompanied by clear text of the whole exchange, and everything is color-coded so you can easily see which words correspond to their translations.
In the remainder of the lesson, the whole dialogue is deconstructed and broken down into lines, phrases and words. There’s a “Play” icon on every line so learners can self-pace and repeat the lines as often as needed. The learner is guided line-by-line and hears how each word is correctly spoken. If you hover the mouse on a particular line, up goes a translation of it.
You can even try using your microphone to compare your pronunciation to the native version you just heard!
Parents will appreciate the tracking tools, which let you see how your child is doing in their learning, and gives gentle reminders when it’s time to study some more.
For $17.99 a month, you and as many as five kids can start learning practically any language in the world. You can also choose to focus on just one language at $6.67 per month, instead.
Languagenut
iOS
Recommended age: 5-14
Available languages: Elementary school learners: 23 modern foreign languages, including English, French, Spanish, German and Mandarin. High school learners: Spanish, French and German.
Languagenut is the perfect vocabulary builder, pronunciation partner and spelling teacher. The program amply covers all bases and touches on all four key linguistic skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing. The program has specific games that address each.
It’s widely used in schools in 32 countries around the world as a supplemental language teaching tool. But the program can be equally valuable for homeschooling families.
Languagenut may tackle the same topics (numbers, colors, greetings) as many other language programs, but it has some of the most graphically compelling interfaces on this side of language learning.
The elementary school program will teach your kids 440 words and phrases through 23 units. Target words are taught through 13 speaking, listening, reading and writing games. You’ll also find verb conjugation exercises, stories, songs and more.
There’s also specific content created for high schoolers who are learning Spanish, German or French. These programs take into account the learners’ age and provide engaging games, exercises and activities.
Plus, each program across their entire selection comes with 31 support languages—that means you can learn your target language from the comfort of your native language.
Pricing is available on request, and you can book a demo before committing.
PBS Learning Media
Recommended age: 2 and up
Available languages: Spanish, Japanese, French, German and Chinese.
Although this program doesn’t offer as many languages as the others on this list, PBS Learning Media does well in tackling all the different language skills in their audio and video lessons.
The clips are divided by grade levels: PreK-K, K-2, 3-5, 6-8 and 9-12. There are only 16 videos available across all the languages in the PreK-K section, but the rest of the levels have a substantial amount of content with around 200 videos.
The section for grades 3-5 contains almost 400 videos, so PBS Learning Media would be particularly useful for elementary-aged kids. This level is also great for adults who want to learn like kids but find the early childhood content too simple.
Other than language and level, you can filter your search further by audio, video, interactive or themed collection.
The audio clips tend to be short, mainly focusing on listening and speaking skills, while the videos are a mix of songs, conversations and standard lessons. The standard video lessons are quite handy since they also come with supporting materials for teachers, such as the lesson plan, video transcript, flashcards, assessments and more.
There are also interactive video lessons which are normally part of a series. These interactive lessons allow you to learn new vocabulary through cute adventure games where you can explore with the arrow keys and select correct terms with the mouse.
All the videos and activities are free to use, but you’ll get additional resources if you sign up as a teacher.
Unuhi: Bilingual Books
Android | iOS
Recommended age: 2-10
Available languages: English, Arabic, Danish, Dutch, Filipino, Finnish, French, German, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Mandarin (Simplified), Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Swedish and Thai. Audio narration: English, Spanish, French, German, Italian and Mandarin Chinese.
Meaning “translate” in Hawaiian, Unuhi is a remarkable app for teaching a foreign language to children. Not only does it allow your kids to learn in their native tongue, but it also does it through the art of storytelling. Reading is crucial for cognitive development, and letting the little ones read bilingual stories in early childhood will also form their ability to think in the second language.
To help them read out loud, audio narration by native speakers is available for some languages, with more options currently underway.
The stories are short, with each page containing only one sentence in dual languages, accompanied by beautiful illustrations to let the kids visually connect with new vocabulary words. To reinforce these new words, Unuhi has numerous sets of flashcards that you and the kids can practice with.
Once you open up the app, you’ll be asked to select your two languages, but you also have the option to remove the second one if you want to focus on one language at a time.
The app is completely free to download and it gives you access to one e-book. You can either purchase moe e-books individually or select a bundle. Once you’ve purchased them, you can download them directly onto your device so you can access each story without an internet connection.
Studycat
Android | iOS
Recommended age: 3-10
Available languages: English, Spanish, Mandarin Chinese, French and German.
Created by a language teacher, artist and game designer in 2000, Studycat was a small classroom program that became a hit among the students. Because it was so popular with the kids, the founders turned it into a digital curriculum that they could share with fellow language teachers, schools and parents. Then, in 2011, the app was born to reach learners across the globe.
Studycat is the virtual teacher and learning buddy that’ll guide kids through phonics and more than 500 vocabulary terms and grammar points which align with the Cambridge Young Learners Starters program.
But instead of Studycat taking over the lesson, kids learn through fun and play—specifically interactive games, original songs and relatable cartoon characters with different voices so learners can listen to the language in different accents.
And the best part of it is that you can use the apps offline, with no pop-up ads or external links for distraction-free learning.
There’s also the Studycat Club, which grants you access to a wide selection of resources, great for family and classroom learning, students and teachers alike. These additional resources help to balance screen time and inspire teachers to create their lesson plans and diversify their teaching methods.
Pricing is available upon request. You can also sign up for a free trial.
Gus on the Go
iOS
Recommended age: 3-7
Available languages: 30 languages, from popular options like Portuguese to vulnerable tongues like Ingush.
Gus is a friendly owl that helps children explore the languages of the world through interactive exercises and adorable animations. Each language has its own app, so feel free to download as many languages as you want.
After every lesson, there’s a lesson review composed of fun exercises. Completing the review will unlock a cute game and trophies, which is very helpful in keeping the little ones motivated to learn more vocabulary words. The words taught in these lessons are very basic, themed around animals, food and colors, among others, making this a very good starting point for complete beginners.
Some of the languages also have free printables, such as flashcards and crafts, to supplement what you’re learning from the apps.
And once you or your kids are ready to move past the basic vocabulary, you can go on to their latest innovation known as Stories by Gus on the Go. As you can guess, this app lets you learn your target language through classic stories, brought to life with the introduction of new characters and audio narration so you can read and listen to the story.
So far, Stories by Gus on the Go is only available in four languages: French, Greek, Hebrew and Spanish.
Mondly Kids
Android | iOS
Recommended age: 5-12
Available languages: 33 languages, from popular choices like Korean and Spanish to less common options like Farsi and Afrikaans.
Known for its innovation in language education technology, Mondly now offers gamified lessons for kids. In addition to the regular Mondly features (quick daily lessons and audio by professional native speakers), the Mondly Kids app has really kid-friendly illustrations and cool sound effects to keep them engaged with new vocab words.
And unlike the original app that includes a leaderboard, the statistics on the kids’ app are exhibited on a brain map. It’s a smart move to remove the competitive element of the original Mondly app, as having the little ones participate in this kind of competition might add unnecessary stress and pressure to a program that’s meant to be fun.
The Mondly app for kids is quite impressive in terms of the topics they cover. Other than the standard food, animals, colors, numbers and parts of the body, they also have categories such as buildings, leisure and professions.
On top of the free daily lessons, there are 77 premium lessons, with a total of 400 words and 75 new phrases to learn. There are also weekly quizzes that still follow that gamified format.
The app is ad-free so that you and your kids can simply focus on language learning.
Pricing information can be found on their website.
Check out these 13 programs and test them for yourself.
Each program has its strengths and specialties, so choose whatever fits your situation.
And if you really want to make the best of it, learn a language with your kid. Two birds, one stone.
Good luck!

13 Amusing Language Techniques for Kids
Have you tried all sorts of language techniques with your child to no avail? Motivating kids to learn a new language can be extremely difficult! But there is hope for parents: we are here to the rescue. We will reveal the most amusing techniques for teaching kids foreign languages. Read on to discover:
how songs and poetry can promote language learning;
why play is important for children’s learning;
foreign language DIY activities and games for your kid!
Statistics
The seven most learned languages by kids all over the world are: English, Spanish, French, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, and German. What language kids choose to learn varies depending on where they are from.
When it comes to the United States, 70% of elementary school students are learning Spanish. According to statistics, 15% of them are learning French and less than 5% German. While Asian languages, like Japanese and Chinese, are predicted to grow in popularity, at the moment they are being studied by just over 1% of American kids.
In Europe, kids are mostly learning English (97.3%), French (33.8%), and German (23.1%), which are followed by Spanish (13.6%), Russian (2.7%), and Italian (1.1%).
Learning by heart
1. Learning poems
It is useful to learn texts in foreign languages by heart because it helps to activate one’s vocabulary and grammar while improving their pronunciation and intonation. A lot of children are made to learn folk songs, poems, and proverbs when learning languages at school because it plays a big role in developing fluency. With poems, vocabulary seems to stick in the learner’s mind for easier recall later.
Learning rhymes is easier than learning prose. This is because the prose is composed of long sentences, and our brains are optimized to filter out unnecessary information when reading it, capturing only the crux of a story.
With poetry and rhymes, however, our brain automatically receives the signal that the structure of the text is important, making us remember it. Poetry is also more expressive, imaginative, and emotional than prose, which aids our memory.
When picking rhymes for your child to learn remember that they should:
be short: because children have short attention spans and often struggle with focus.
be easy to understand: because kids are more likely to remember a rhyme, poem, or story if they understand its meaning
contain only familiar grammar constructions: because unknown grammar can be confusing and intimidating for kids
contain mostly familiar words: because challenging words are likely to distract from learning
To organize the process of learning poems by heart, follow these steps:
Start learning only if you and your child are both in a good mood.
Learn the poem together.
To achieve the best result, follow the scheme:
read the 1st line aloud
let your child repeat it
repeat steps 1 and 2 several times (if your child agrees)
read the 1st and the 2nd line aloud
let your child repeat them
repeat steps 4 and 5 several times
read the 1st, the 2nd, and the 3rd line aloud
let your child repeat them
repeat steps 7 and 8 several times
…and so on.
2. Singing songs
Not into poetry? Songs are even easier to remember than rhymes! This is because, according to science, music helps us remember things better because of a process called “chunking” whereby we group individual pieces of information together into larger units (chunks). Our short-term memory can only hold about 7 units of information at a time, and music allows us to chunk lyrics together by linking words and phrases in a song, making it more likely we will remember the song.
It is advisable to teach your kids songs by accompanying them with movements because children love to move and dance. Making an activity fun helps kids learn a language, and they are more likely to recall it if they learned it while enjoying themselves.
3 popular kids’ songs with movements are:
“Head, shoulders, knees and toes” in English
“Tourne Tourne Petit Moulin” in French
“El baile de la fruta” by Pica Pica in Spanish
Playing activities
3. Games
Psychologists from all over the world advise teaching kids anything in a playful manner because play helps to nurture imagination and gives a child a sense of adventure. Play is actually the best way to learn a language for young kids, according to experts. Through it, they can learn essential skills such as problem-solving, working with others, sharing, and even language skills.
If you decide to teach your kid a language through playing, keep games short, always remembering a child’s attention span is short. Play for however long the child is interested and cooperative, no longer than 30 minutes or an hour with toddlers.
5 popular and easy language games that are suitable for learning any foreign language are:
Guess the Language
Simon Says
Matching the Terms
Scavenger Hunt
Something on Your Forehead
4. Tabletop games
Tabletop games are games that are normally played on a table or another flat surface. They include board games, card games, and dice games.
Normally, kids become interested in playing tabletop games after the age of 10, as they require a level of sophistication. However, there are games with easy rules that can be understood by younger kids, too.
To buy tabletop games for kids in foreign languages, your best bet is a toy store in a foreign country during your travels! However, if you are looking to purchase one online, try Amazon and Etsy.
The great news is you can also easily adapt your normal tabletop games to learning foreign languages! For example, why not use bingo and dominoes for learning numbers and new words in another language?
5. Toys of foreign origin
Even just by knowing a toy brand’s name, your kid can practice a foreign language! 5 toy brands with names that can enrich your kids’ vocabulary are: ‘My little pony’, ‘Hot Wheels’, ‘Clever Sticks’, ‘Play Doh’, and ‘Cabbage Patch Kids’. But there are more! Pay attention to them next time you enter a kids’ store.
Parents should encourage their children to remember the toys’ ‘true’ names and not their translated versions, thus enhancing their vocabulary.
6. Going on treasure hunts
A scavenger hunt is a game in which the organizers prepare a list containing specific items or tasks that the participants must seek to gather or complete.
Kids love scavenger hunts because they allow them to use their problem-solving skills in a tangible way. Scavenger hunts are easy to customize to your child’s abilities, which means they are perfect for youngsters of any age.
You can incorporate scavenger hunts into learning foreign languages by setting up the clues for locations or items in a foreign language!
7. Collecting things
Kids also love collecting different things like shells, flowers, or leaves! This is because it allows them to spend time outside in nature while expressing their individuality through their specific interest and finding things that they can offer to others.
A great idea for language learning is to ask your child to collect some items that they like, to organize a small exhibition, and to write a caption for each exhibit in another language.
8. DIY
Another activity that kids are fond of is DIY. Children love to spend time with their parents crafting while creating nice memories. DIY activities help kids develop their creativity and it should not come as a surprise that they can be used to teach languages, too.
5 DIY activities that can be combined with learning foreign languages are:
making hand puppets and putting on a show in a foreign language
creating greeting cards in foreign languages
cooking a foreign meal together with the parents
inflating balloons to learn the names of colors in another language
make stick animals to learn their names in a foreign language
Go digital!
9. Cartoons
Children get a lot of joy from watching cartoons. This is because cartoons are fun and they can learn from them easily, while they also transport them into magical worlds.
There are 2 types of cartoons that you can use to teach a kid a language, i. e. cartoons where the heroes speak only the foreign language and ones where they speak partly one’s mother tongue and partly the foreign language.
The advantage of a cartoon that exclusively uses a foreign language is that it really challenges a child to pay attention, accelerating learning. On the other hand, cartoons in two languages are better for a smoother learning process that is more gradual and probably best for younger kids. The latter often involve heroes asking children to repeat some words or phrases in a foreign language. Kids always do it with great pleasure!
10. Gadgets
Kids also love playing with mobile devices. These days, they can become familiar and fascinated with them at a very young age, drawn in by their interactivity and imitating the adults they see using them.
However, gadgets are quite an evil for kids’ eyes and health! If you are going to be using smartphones, however, it is best to do so for productive activities, like learning foreign languages. Opt for a tablet rather than for a smartphone because its screen is larger and it will cause less tension in your kids’ eyes.
The 4 best apps for kids learning foreign languages are:
Teach Kids Languages
Little Pim
Gus Οn the Go
Mind Snacks
11. Taking photos
Using a smartphone, kids can take photos from a very early age these days! Some children even have a talent for it and there is nothing to suggest your kid could not be a great photographer at age 8 or 9!
Photography is exciting for children because it allows them to express themselves and easily unleash their creativity.
For language learning purposes, you can ask your child to take several photos of their toys. Then let them show you the photos and call the toys in the foreign language.
Another idea is to ask your child to write a short story based on the photos, which kids over the age of 5 should be able to do. With the help of this task, you can teach them simple grammar constructions too, such as “This is my ball” or “This is a green car”.
12. Shooting videos
Like with photography, even young children should be able to shoot a simple video these days using a smartphone. This is a particularly stimulating activity for children, as it gives them the feeling of creating a movie.
Try filming a short video in a foreign language with your child where they describe their toys or anything that interests them. As you would with the photographs discussed above, use the video to teach simple grammar by getting your child to narrate the film.
13. Online lessons

English lesson for preschoolers. Write, read, listen or speak?
From the first days of life, we try to help our baby on the path of his development, to push, to direct him in the right direction. And one of the significant stages is the study of English at preschool age. After all, it is now that the child’s personality is being formed, he is trying to find and understand himself in this world, he begins to cooperate with the surrounding children. Communication becomes one of the important factors in your child’s interaction with the outside world. And our task as parents is to help, to give the best, especially when it comes to teaching English to preschool children. In this article, you will find methods that will help your baby achieve the desired goal: to speak a foreign language.
English for preschoolers. Let the show started
English lessons for preschoolers are an investment in your child’s future
Let’s talk about what your child needs in the early stages of learning. If you decide to practice a foreign language from the first days, then songs, lullabies are best suited. So, for your child, when he grows up, the sound of foreign words will not be a shock. In addition, at an earlier age, the child’s brain records everything on the “film” of the subconscious and then it will be easier for him to read information from there. It is a lot of fun and both you and your baby will like it, and if you also dance with him while singing, you will get twice as much pleasure. Moreover, if you do not know a foreign language, now you can learn it together. It’s simple and fun. I offer you the following scheme for learning English with preschoolers by songs:
Find a song you like.
Listen to it once.
Find the words to the song. Print them out or save them as bookmarks. Read the song once. Try to understand what it is about.
Check unfamiliar words in the dictionary. You can write them out. Or read the Russian translation of the song.
Now you can look at the lyrics and sing along with the performer for your baby.
But if your baby is already 2-3 years old and only now you are thinking about teaching your child, then I propose to consider some features of teaching English to preschool children at home and in a language school.
Types of teaching English to preschoolers
You may have already guessed what we are going to talk about. Yes, there are not so many types of teaching English to preschoolers, namely:
home
school
online (but it can also be attributed to home)
English lessons are fun and interesting for preschoolers
Individually they are not so good. Parents may not have time at home, and school may seem difficult. But together they are very effective. And if you send your child to Green Country School, then you definitely will not regret it. After all, we have an individual approach to each preschooler, a personal account with tasks that can be done at home, a specially designed program of the flipped lesson. We completely forgot to say: with us your child will be able to attend master classes, where we will not only deepen him into a foreign language, but also connect mathematics, geography, yoga and much more.
Let’s take a closer look at the difference between home and school English for preschoolers. Why don’t they work separately, but together – what is needed?
Home English teaching for preschoolers VS school teaching
How we waited for our baby to be 1 year old. The whole family prepared. And now we are already 3 years old. There were many joys and experiences during this period, many events are still waiting for us in this life. Three years are a very important, transitional moment in the life of both children and parents. After all, right now the period of the child’s perception of himself as an inseparable whole with his mother ends and the period of his “I”, separation, individuality begins.
Children like English lessons for preschoolers
When teaching English to preschool children, all these psychological characteristics should be taken into account and approached as a game. It is also important to remember that the process of teaching English to a preschooler should be enjoyable for your child. If we, adults, can still overpower ourselves and do what we don’t like, then a child can’t. If, nevertheless, you force him to do what he does not like, then there is a high probability of harming and almost forever destroying the love of learning a foreign language.
So if you decide to conduct English lessons with a preschooler on your own, try to come up with or find interesting games, tasks in which the child should be involved. I give examples of English activities with a preschooler below, so that it is easier for you and so that you do not spend a lot of time searching for them.
List of games to prepare for an English lesson with a preschooler:
Cards with words (word + translation + picture). A very good way to learn English. You can make them yourself or use Quizlet. On this site you will even find ready-made words. All you have to do is print them out. And the English lesson for preschool children is already ready, it remains to come up with a couple of games.
Card games: • Show me. Lay out the cards in front of the child, say a certain word. The child must choose the correct card. • Yes-No game. Show the child a card and name the words, but only incorrectly. For example, a hippopotamus is drawn, and you name a tiger. Your baby must tell if you are correct or not. • What’s missing. Lay out a row of cards (4-5). Speak words to your child. Then ask the child to close their eyes. Remove one card. The child opens his eyes and looks for which card is missing.
English lessons for preschoolers promote general development
Magic bag. Put objects already familiar to the child in English in a bag so that he does not see. Ask him to take one item out of the bag and name it.
Touch your leg, nose, hand… (parts of the body). You say: “Touch your leg.” The child must touch the leg. Of course, before this game, your baby should already know the parts of the body in English.
Poems. Another very good way when teaching English to preschool children. There is a rhythm in the verses, which helps to quickly memorize phrases, words, grammatical constructions. Plus, if you do not just learn a verse, but play a short scene with your child, then you will get more pleasure and a more effective result. After all, then your child will show and tell this verse everywhere.
Watch educational cartoons in English. Good for teaching English to a preschooler are small cartoons of 5-10 minutes in which the same words are repeated many times. If you think that your child does not understand anything, then you are mistaken. In such small cartoons, everything is very clearly shown, for example, if we are talking about a hat, then the cartoon character will hold it in his hands, show and say that it is “hat”. It can be such cartoons as English singsing, Big Muzzy and others. It will be good if you not only watch cartoons, but also learn small fragments from them.
How much information, you say… And that’s not even half. But not everyone has the time to cut out cards. In this case, it is best for you to give your baby to the reliable, warm, almost motherly hands of the Green Country school. Only we have an individual approach to each preschooler. We take into account all the smallest nuances when teaching English to preschoolers. Also, as already noted in the article, the socialization of children plays an important role in the preschool period. By choosing a Green Country school, you give your child the opportunity to communicate with peers in English. Green Country is like 3 in 1 coffee: play, have fun and learn at the same time. It is we who provide training in aerobatics in English for preschool children. And you can calmly, without fear, let your baby go on a further flight.
Now let’s compare the pros and cons of teaching English at home and at school for preschoolers.
Home schooling
Education at the English school Green Country
The child studies with his mother. Familiar surroundings, less stress.
A preschooler is learning English with peers. The process of socialization is faster.
Mom needs some time to prepare tasks and games for learning.
The best specialists have developed a special technique that will help your child fall in love with English and become fluent in it in the future.
If your English is not very good, your child may also make mistakes, which then need to be corrected.
Your preschooler will be taught a foreign language by the best teachers with impeccable knowledge of English, who at the same time love children very much.
A child may sometimes not perceive his mother as a teacher.
Teaching English at school – disciplines, contributes to a more responsible perception of the subject.
Since the child learns English at home, parents do not need to spend time on the road.
Preschoolers in English classes, in addition to the main subject, learn to interact in a team.
The child feels more relaxed, sometimes he will have to be convinced that he needs to study English.
There is a healthy competitive atmosphere in the school. Children do their best in front of each other.
This table shows that both home and school education have pros and cons. But together they complement each other. So you can not hesitate to send your child to our Green Country school and combine it with homework. You will have ready-made materials on which you can conduct English lessons with your preschooler at home.
Motivating preschool children to learn English
When teaching English to preschool children, the biggest motivation will be interest and fun. We have already discussed that if a child does not want to do something, it is very difficult to force him, you can even harm him and permanently discourage him from studying not only English, but also other subjects. But these two components will open the door to the amazing, cognitive world of the English language for your preschooler. Until your baby understands, does not fully realize that English is the language spoken by more than half of the world, that people who know English are more competitive, they have better paid jobs, they think differently. We understand this as parents. But if a child likes something, he will want to do it again and again, and in this way we instill in him a love of learning, learning English and more. After all, in the future it will be better to study, to work the person who burns with his work, and not the one who does everything under duress. So let’s remember that in addition to the parental “should”, there is also “I want” or “I don’t want” a child, and it’s better to make sure that the preschooler wants to study English. And here, parents can also face the task: what is the first thing to teach a child – to write, read, speak or hear English speech? I suggest taking a closer look.
English lesson for preschoolers. Write, read, listen or speak?
English lessons for preschoolers make new friends
“Here you need to improve your grammar… Oh, I forgot how to spell this word again… And I also want to read Shakespeare in the original…” what to say about children. After all, English for preschool children has its own specifics.
Do you remember how we had an English lesson at school? First we learn the alphabet, then the rules of reading, we start a dictionary and write out all unfamiliar words there along with transcription, then we learn grammar, do exercises, etc. What about talking? Not provided, because you first need to learn how to write and read. And the head of a 7-year-old child swells and swells until it bursts. What can you say about a 3-5 year old child? In this way, you can beat off his love of learning English forever.
By choosing the wrong methods, some schools are digging their own grave and trying to drag their students into it. Green Country School took into account all the factors above and created a comprehensive approach to teaching English to preschool children. In an English lesson for preschoolers, there is 80% practice and 20% theory. Children learn to use the information received in practice, consolidate the material at home and begin to learn new things. At the English lesson for preschoolers, we also do not forget about interactive tasks, combine the knowledge gained with drawing, modeling and dancing, and it is the children who attend the Green Country English School that develop faster, learn to speak English, socialize, and achieve success in later life . Don’t waste your time, money and energy on a bunch of English lessons for your preschooler, put them in the warm, loving and professional hands of the Green Country English teachers and you won’t regret it.

Foreign language in kindergarten
Municipal autonomous preschool educational institution “Kindergarten No. 20 of the general developmental type “Mosaic” of the Chistopol municipal district of the Republic of Tatarstan
The possibilities of a foreign language as an academic subject in the implementation of the strategic focus of the kindergarten on personal development are truly unique. It is known that preschool age is favorable for learning a foreign language, since a small child has a well-developed long-term memory.
In the modern world, due to global, geopolitical, economic and socio-cultural changes, more stringent requirements are imposed on a person. There is a growing need to communicate fluently in a foreign language, and sometimes even in several. The way and volume of perception of information has changed, so it is necessary to change approaches to learning. There is an opinion that early teaching of foreign languages complicates the content of preschool education, and is harmful, as it deprives the child of childhood. However, studies have shown that the study of foreign languages, with the correct organization of classes, develops children, increases their educational and cultural level.
It has already been proven that early learning of foreign languages not only accelerates the formation of foreign language communicative competence, but also has a positive effect on the overall development of the child. It should be noted that early learning of a foreign language is understood as learning carried out on the basis of an intuitive-practical approach in the period from the birth of a child to his schooling.
Possessing a high plasticity of the functions of the brain and psyche, children have great potential for development, the realization of which depends on the upbringing and education of adults around them. Therefore, they must begin to develop in various directions from the first days of life.
At the Institute in Philadelphia (USA), under the guidance of a well-known doctor in the United States, Glenn Doman, they proved that the most effective learning occurs during the period of brain growth. Therefore, it is much easier to teach something to young children. And the ability to master speech is inherited by the child from the moment of birth and manifests itself from the first years of life. A child could speak several languages at once, if the people raising him formed for him (artificially or naturally) different language environments. Then it becomes more difficult for older children to master foreign languages. The fact is that by the age of six, a child is fluent in speech in his native language, communicates freely with people around him, and the unique properties inherent in the mechanism of the ability to speak freeze, since they have already ensured the viability of the organism in the environment and their purpose for the organism has been exhausted. And the assimilation of a foreign language occurs in the process of purposeful learning, more on the basis of the action of such functions as memory, thinking, and will.
In addition, it has been noted that a child who has learned any activity early (including early learning a foreign language), if he continues these activities, loves to learn, easily studies himself and never suffers from idleness and boredom. Thus, the child develops a positive educational motivation.
It has been proven that children remember best the words that name what they are interested in and has emotional significance for them. The emotional factor is generally of great importance in the process of learning a foreign language.
Emotionality is easily combined with artistry. At foreign language lessons in kindergarten, an artistic environment is also often and successfully created. Theatrical, musical, literary or other activities of children in teaching a foreign language not only arouse their genuine interest and desire for learning, but also have a positive impact on the development of their personal characteristics [4].
According to psychologists such as L.C. Vygodsky, L.V. Shcherba, the study of a foreign language has a positive effect on the development of native speech. Long-term experimental teaching of a foreign language, carried out by the team of the foreign language teaching laboratory of the Research Institute of General and Secondary Education of the Russian Federation, confirmed the positive impact of the subject on the general mental development of children, on developing in them ways of adequate behavior in various life situations, and on better mastery of their native language. The most favorable period to start learning foreign languages psychologists determine the age from 2 to 8 years.
This is not a complete list of the positive results of early learning a foreign language. It must always be remembered that the main principle in any training is its humanistic orientation.
There are many opinions about which method of teaching kids a foreign language should be chosen. One of the most relevant and effective methods is teaching a foreign language in a playful way.
The largest theorist of gaming activity D.B. Elkonin singles out four most important functions for a child in play: a means of developing the motivational-need sphere; means of knowledge; a means of developing mental actions; a means of developing voluntary behavior. Game activity has an impact on the development of attention, memory, thinking, and imagination [8].
So, the game is a teaching tool that activates the mental activity of children. The learning process through the game becomes more attractive and interesting, makes you worry and worry, which forms a powerful incentive to master languages.
At the initial stage, G.V. Rogov and I.N. Vereshchagin, E.I. Passov, D.B. Elkonin, E.I. Negnevitskaya and other scientists, methodologists and psychologists.
The problem of finding the organization of training at the middle and senior stages was reflected in the works of N. A. Salanovich, V.V. Andrievskaya and other authors.
However, the problem of the specifics of the organization of the educational process with the inclusion of gaming activities at various stages of education – primary, secondary and senior – has not yet been sufficiently studied. The most important condition for the effectiveness of educational games is the strict consideration of the age-related psychological and pedagogical characteristics of students.
For example, when teaching a foreign language to young children, it is necessary to take into account such features as inquisitiveness and curiosity. Also, it is important to remember that it is difficult for them to keep their attention on one activity for a long time. Therefore, their activities in the classroom should be diverse, emotionally saturated. Many methodologists believe that at preschool age, the goal of learning is more successfully achieved with game motivation and with peer assessment of behavior.
Children master the role-playing game by the third year of life, get acquainted with human relations, discover the presence of experiences in themselves. Children develop imagination and the symbolic function of consciousness, which allow them to transfer the properties of some things to others, an orientation in their own feelings arises, and the skills of their cultural expression are formed. And this allows them to be included in collective activities and communication. As a result of the development of gaming activities in preschool age, a readiness for learning is formed.
Games can be used for the introduction and consolidation of vocabulary, for the formation of skills and abilities of oral speech. It is in the process of playing activity that conditions are created for the natural communication of children.
How many years have many of us adults studied English? At school, at the institute. We have a decent vocabulary, but we speak much worse English than any teenager on the streets of Europe. Why we, having studied English for years, cannot communicate in it, but our children speak it? They answer the teacher’s questions, play, even make comments to each other only in English. It’s all about different methods. Always and everywhere (including in pre-revolutionary Russia), a foreign language was NOT STUDYED, it was simply spoken. And the child gradually, step by step, mastered a foreign language. And the system by which today’s adults studied and by which, unfortunately, many children are still studying (and not only in schools, but often in paid courses), is based on the principle “from the alphabet – to the word, from the word – to the phrase “. Based on a comparative analysis of the most modern methods of teaching English, we chose the course of V.N. Meshcheryakova.
Our teaching aids
Stage I for children 3-5 years old
II stage for children 4-6 years old
III Stage
A child from 3-4 years old can join the English language, but it is not necessary to learn it at all. What do kids this age like to do the most? Of course, sing and play! That is why we use a musical-game form in English classes according to the method of Valeria Meshcheryakova. And in this, the main help is provided by the audio application to our classes, the I CAN SING disc for children 3-5 years old and the I CAN SPEAK methodological guide for children 5-7 years old. The purpose of teaching by this method is not to memorize individual words and phrases, but to teach to communicate in English, to learn by playing. In children 3-9For years, there has been the ability to “imprint” entire language blocks into the brain without analyzing them. It is thanks to this ability that we all learned our native language. And it is this ability that we use, working according to this method. “Imprinting” the structures of the language being studied occurs most effectively when immersed in the language environment, so the lessons are conducted entirely in English. The teacher has a whole arsenal of means to bring the meaning of what was said to the child, bypassing direct translation. This is visualization, and gestures, etc.
Group and individual English classes under the program of Valeria Meshcheryakova “I LOVE ENGLISH” are designed for children from 2 to 9 years old.
The I Love English technique is completely playful. It is with the help of a variety of games that we achieve a complete understanding and assimilation of the material being studied.
Toys from England come to visit children and communicate with them in English. Singing, outdoor games, dancing help children feel comfortable in the classroom, and they choose the measure of their inclusion and activity themselves (there are many such children who at first prefer to be on the sidelines, observe, and then gradually join the general activity). In the lessons, we, first of all, use the hearing aid – we teach children to hear foreign speech and understand it. This is the first step to speaking.
The goals of our classes:
– mental and social development of the child through a foreign language; – Acquaintance and introduction to a foreign language;
– the formation of a positive attitude of the child to the study of English, the development of his interest in the language;
– development of the ability to listen and understand foreign speech;
– formation of the center of foreign speech in children.
The I LOVE ENGLISH method is unique and gives excellent results, and most importantly, children simply fall in love with English and attend classes with joy. The principle that guides V. Meshcheryakova when developing training programs is as follows: “Classes should bring pleasure to the child.”

There are too many people in the world,
who have not been helped to wake up.
A. -S. Exupery
Conformity and facelessness – these are, perhaps, the main “psychological disasters” of our time. Helping to wake up, give impetus and develop the creative abilities of children is one of my main tasks in teaching English. After all, every child is a unique person, he is unique from the moment of his birth, and teaching a foreign language at school comes down most often to memorizing and reproducing techniques and actions, typical ways of performing tasks, to elementary cramming. With this approach to teaching a foreign language, children are deprived of the joy of discovery and gradually lose the desire to create and act independently.
A modern school needs to prepare students for an active life in a changing world, for cultural, professional and personal communication with representatives of countries with other social traditions, ideas, and a different state system. One of the most important conditions for solving this problem is the orientation towards communicative goals as a general methodological approach to teaching foreign languages.
A contradiction arises: on the one hand, it is necessary to awaken the child’s creativity, develop his creative abilities, form a personality, on the other hand, it is necessary to teach him to master the complex vocabulary and grammar of a completely unfamiliar language. How to be? I tried to find the answer to this question in the studies of humanistic psychologists, in the articles of the best teachers and methodologists. It became clear to me: it is necessary to create in students internal motives for a positive attitude towards learning activities through the development of creative activity and independence, the activation of memory, attention and imagination. Motivation and interest in a foreign language must and can be laid already at preschool age, which will be a good step towards successful schooling. In TsEVD “Ornament” English is an obligatory component in teaching children of 5-6 years of age. Early learning a foreign language creates excellent opportunities to arouse interest in the linguistic and cultural diversity of the world, respect for the languages and cultures of other peoples, and contributes to the development of communicative speech tact. At an early stage of learning, language should, first of all, be considered as a means of personality development. Through communication and activity in the language, the child develops, educates and learns the world and himself, i.e. masters all that spiritual wealth that can only be given by the process of foreign language education. The program developed by the author of this article for the development of communication skills in preschoolers when learning a foreign language has a carefully developed theoretical justification and meets all the requirements of this type of program. Children transfer the acquired communication skills into everyday life, easily enter into a dialogue, show initiative, which reflects the effectiveness of this program.
There are a lot of theoretical developments and a lot of different problematic points of view about teaching a foreign language to preschoolers. The experience of practical work on teaching English to preschool children allowed the author to trace the effectiveness of teaching a foreign language at preschool age and allows dispelling the myths about the expediency of learning a foreign language by preschoolers that exist in the minds of parents and teachers and psychologists.
MYTH Babies should not be taught a foreign language.
REALITY Teaching kids is not only possible, but it is also necessary to start learning the language at preschool age! The experience of bilingual families shows that communication in two languages does not interfere with the development of the child. Up to 7-8 years, learning another language is easy and natural. In preschool children, the structure of native speech has not yet been established, and any other is also perceived naturally. Physiologists believe that “there is a biological clock of the brain, just as there are stages in the development of the endocrine glands of a child in time. child under 9years is a specialist in mastering speech. After this period, the brain mechanisms of speech become less flexible and cannot easily adapt to new conditions. The child’s brain has a specialized ability for a foreign language, but it decreases with age.” The most productive period for teaching a foreign language to preschoolers is the period when the brain is growing, and the opportunities for learning during this period are truly unique. Children do not need to memorize separately tenses, grammatical constructions, they perceive the language as a whole. The younger the child, the less his vocabulary in his native language. But at the same time, his speech needs are also less: a small child has fewer areas of communication than an older one, he still does not have to solve complex communicative tasks. This means that when mastering a foreign language, he does not feel such a huge gap between the opportunities in his native and foreign languages, and his sense of success will be more vivid than that of older children.
MYTH Children of preschool age are psychologically unprepared for the perception of foreign language speech and learning a foreign language at preschool age can adversely affect the child’s mental development.
REALITY Such a danger can arise if parents and teachers do not know the measures, they try to stuff the kid with information beyond his power. In order to better understand and explain the psychological state of the child in a foreign language class, I graduated from the Faculty of Psychology at the ZabSPU, already working as an English teacher. I want to explain the situation from the point of view of a linguist-psychologist – children do not have a psychological barrier, like adults. They automatically “switch” from one language to another when the situation calls for it. We, adults, are psychologically afraid of mistakes, we don’t want to be in a ridiculous position. Children have no such fear, and this is their advantage – they immediately begin to communicate. Many mistakes and difficulties of adults are explained by the fact that we automatically transfer grammatical constructions and pronunciation of our native language to a foreign one. The child has not yet formed stereotypes, and it is easier for him to learn two different languages in parallel – both his own and someone else’s. There is no task to drive into the child’s head all the English tenses! At a tender age, an intuitive “feeling” of the language is laid, which will then greatly help the maturing student. He will not cram, but understand, feel, in which situation which grammatical construction is better to use. Classes with teachers – linguists help to develop native speech faster, because memory, articulation, intelligence, and communication skills are trained. Toddlers who get to know other languages and cultures are more flexible, relaxed, better able to adapt to unusual environments and new people. The self-esteem of the child rises, he proudly tells his parents, grandparents, and friends about his successes.
MYTH English for youngsters is just a newfangled “trick”.
REALITY Teaching foreign languages as a branch of methodological science began to emerge in the 19th century. At that time, in no country in the world was the experience of teaching foreign languages to children as widespread as in Russia. According to contemporaries, in Russia in the 19th century one could meet a child who was fluent in three foreign languages: French, English and German. The luminaries of psychology – both ours and foreign (L.S. Vygotsky, S.L. Rubinshtein, B. White, V. Penfield and others) – wrote in the middle of the last century that foreign languages are easier for a child than for an adult.
In today’s world, in connection with global geopolitical, economic, socio-cultural changes, the newest and latest requirements are presented to a person. So, there is a growing need to communicate freely in a foreign language, and from time to time even in several. Life has changed, the method of perceiving information has changed and its size has changed, hence the approaches to learning must change. It has already been confirmed that this not only accelerates the formation of foreign language communicative competence, but also, in turn, has a positive effect on the overall development of the child. In the conditions of modern life, many families spend holidays abroad and can observe for themselves that the main language of communication (even at an elementary level) is English. Communication on it is an essential condition for social communication and comfortable rest. But how to communicate if the language is completely unfamiliar to you? Of course, you can communicate in sign language. But you will feel much more confident if you or your baby talk to another person in English.
MYTH It is difficult for a preschool child to learn a foreign language.
REALITY Programs for teaching a foreign language to kids are very different from programs for adults. It is easy and fun for a child to study only where he is interested! The program for teaching children English at the Ornament CEVD combines language learning and the development of communication skills, little “English” learn to make contact with the teacher and with peers, learn to find a common language in the literal and figurative sense.
It is known from developmental psychology that the leading activity of a preschooler is play. Given this, classes are built in the form of games, fairy tales, travel. Children do not get bored with the game, including the game in English. To make it easier for kids to understand new words, the teacher helps with gestures, facial expressions, drawings, music. In the course are counting rhymes, rhymes, comics, puzzles, toys, puppet theater . .. which helps to develop not only speech, but also fine motor skills, imaginative thinking. In the classroom, children draw, sing, play small performances, learn the special rhythm of the English language and learn pronunciation, that is, they develop, and not just learn the language. Children are very fond of watching cartoons and listening to simple songs in English and imitating what the characters are doing. In the game, children feel easy and natural, and in the course of communication they remember words, expressions, get acquainted with the basics of grammar.

We started to study English with the child at home, but then we realized that this was not enough for the child. Were in different schools, she was not interested and bored there. Having come to this school, the child was tested, they learned the level of knowledge at that time and we got into the group. It was the middle of the school year, but despite this, the child liked everything, she pulled herself up after the others and joined the team. I like that this school has a system of lessons from textbooks, which was not the case in other schools. Even for parents, the teacher explains everything clearly. The child always goes to these classes with pleasure!

This is my second year at this school and I really like it! Lessons are held in English, a lot of emphasis is placed on speaking, which I think is the most important thing in learning the language. The material is presented easily and accessible, there is no dull cramming indiscriminately, as in school. The course program is modern, the topics are interesting, the most necessary set expressions that are often used in speech are given for memorization. Special thanks to our teacher Svetlana! She inspires and energizes to learn English. A real teacher from God.

My 4-year-old miracle now perceives English not as lessons, but as a language that can also be spoken. And these are not just songs and games, but a real separation of colors, counting, toys in his mind in two different languages. Respect to the teacher Olga Alekseevna 🙂 after attending the usual English lessons for kids, where the pronunciation of the teacher frankly cuts the ear, classes at William Reilly are a completely different and extremely useful experience. Thanks!)

I have been studying at school for 2 years already, I really like the program and the teacher. I like that during the classes we make up dialogues, learn to communicate. For a person who did not know English at all, there are results

The school is wonderful, the child attends classes with pleasure, the teachers are professionals in their field, the lessons are held in a playful way, the children do not even notice how time flies, the result is visible. After attending classes at the William Reilly School, the child stopped looking for a reason not to go to English lessons at a regular school and now he does his homework in English. Recommended, your child will love it.
Features of teaching a foreign language to children of preschool age
Theory and methods of teaching and education (by area and level of education) | World of Pedagogy and Psychology №4(21) April, 2018
0013 Volkova Svetlana Alexandrovna Senior Lecturer, Department of Foreign Languages, Ural State Agrarian University, Russian Federation, Yekaterinburg
Annotation: Interest in learning foreign languages does not disappear due to well-known social and economic conditions. Demand is not only for teaching adults, but also for children, including preschoolers. Many experts agree that preschool age is the most favorable for mastering a foreign language due to certain mental and psychological and physiological characteristics of a child of this age category. Parents are offered many different programs for mastering a foreign language, but the problem of choosing a teaching methodology, a way to organize the educational process, and prepare methodological materials does not lose its relevance. The article discusses the psychological and physiological characteristics of preschool children and, as a result, the fundamental principles in teaching a foreign language to this group of students. Keywords: learning a foreign language, preschool children, psycholinguistic features, sensitive period, psychological and physiological characteristics Volkova Svetlana Aleksandrovna Senior teacher of foreign language department, Ural state agrarian university, Russia, Ekaterinburg
Abstract: Certain social and economic conditions develop interest in studying foreign languages. It concerns not only adults, but also children, including preschoolers. Many experts agree that preschool age is the most favored for mastering a foreign language due to some particular psychological-physiological characteristics of this age group. Parents face many different programs for foreign language learning, but the problem of choosing the teaching methodology, the organization of educational process is still of great importance. The articles considers the psychological and physiological characteristics of preschool age children and, as a consequence, the basic principles in teaching a foreign language to this age group. Keywords: learning a foreign language, preschool age children, psycho-linguistic peculiarities, a sensitive period, psychological and physiological characteristics
Many parents, realizing the need for knowledge of foreign languages, try to instill interest in them in children from an early age. Responding to demand, many preschool educational institutions, various development centers today offer their services in this area.
The relevance of the problem of teaching a foreign language in a preschool institution is substantiated by scientific data on the need to make the most of the sensitive period in children.
The considered age group is characterized by special psycholinguistic characteristics, it has a good language memory, which allows you to actively expand the active vocabulary, intuitively assimilate grammatical phenomena, as well as imitative speech abilities at the phonetic, lexical, grammatical and stylistic levels [2].
According to modern scientific research, by the age of 3 years the development of brain cells is completed by 80% [4]. At this age, the child develops speech skills. He is able to remember a large amount of information, if it is correctly presented to him. Also at this age, long-term memory is especially developed. With the systematic repetition of the material, the child can easily memorize foreign words. There are a number of reasons that speak in favor of learning a foreign language at preschool age [4]:
– A child at preschool age is most open to learning everything new and is able to absorb information that is interesting to him, which is why it is important to approach the presentation of a foreign language correctly.
– Children of preschool age have much more time that they can devote to learning a foreign language, which means that they will be able to learn it more deeply in the future. If the child is interested in this, then in the future he will certainly want to learn one more, and maybe several foreign languages.
– Children aged 3-4 do not have a “language barrier”, which is very conducive to learning a foreign language.
– Learning a foreign language at an early age, along with practical significance, develops in children the ability to better comprehend their native language. Some parents believe that it is not worth “loading” a child with a foreign language until he has fully mastered his native language. In this case, one should not forget that the memorization mechanism in children does not work at all in the same way as in adults. The kid easily learns parallel streams of information, builds interdependent mental chains. He, sometimes unconsciously, compares both languages, compares the words and expressions he has learned, shares his impressions of what he has learned with his parents, using all his language resources at once – both those obtained thanks to his native language and thanks to a foreign one. In addition, it is not uncommon for children who study a foreign language at a younger preschool age to improve their general articulation and speech skills.
– Learning foreign languages improves children’s memory, their perception, thinking, imagination, etc.
– It probably makes sense to start learning foreign languages from English, as it is an international language, the language of the future. English has become an integral part of our daily life. More and more often we listen to foreign music on the radio, most of the programs on the computer are in English, there are a huge number of videos, articles in English on the Internet, as well as a huge number of books written in English.
Thus, many experts agree that preschool age is the most favorable for mastering a foreign language due to certain mental characteristics of the child: quick memorization of language information, the ability to analyze and systematize speech flows in different languages, the natural ability to imitate, lack of language barrier.
“A modern preschool child learns language not as a subject of study, but as a means of communication – directly in activity, actively experimenting with it” [1].
Psychologists note that taking into account the psychological and physiological characteristics of preschool children in the process of learning a foreign language, it is possible to have a beneficial effect on the development of a child’s speech in his native language. Learning poetic and song foreign material, involvement in gaming activities contributes to the development of communication skills.
But the problem of choosing teaching methods, ways of organizing the educational process, preparing methodological materials does not lose its relevance.
Given the psychological and physiological characteristics of preschool children, there are several fundamental principles in teaching a foreign language [1].
I. Psycholinguistic principles:
– The principle of taking into account age characteristics.
The proposed tasks should be appropriate for the age abilities, skills and developmental level of the child. Children are focused on learning about the world around them, interacting with it, therefore, it is necessary to take gaming activities as the basis for teaching a foreign language.
– The principle of gradual complication of the material.
At the initial stages, it is recommended to present children with a model for listening and imitating, after the successful mastering of these skills, it is required to motivate students already to initiate communication, to independently build statements.
– The principle of psychological comfort.
A preschooler gets to know the world around him mainly through his emotions, therefore, to create comfortable conditions for the child, the calm voice of the teacher, game methods, and tactile sensations are recommended.
II. Pedagogical principles:
– The principle of purposefulness of the pedagogical process.
The teacher must clearly represent the ultimate goal of training and draw a conclusion about the appropriateness of each proposed task.
– The principle of systematicity and consistency.
Assignments should gradually increase in complexity based on the material already covered.
– The principle of creativity.
An unusual way of presenting language material, the use of visualization always arouses greater interest among students and better activates their educational and cognitive activities.
– Principle of novelty.
It is necessary to maintain interest in learning a foreign language. This can be achieved, for example, through a variety of activities, directly through interesting material for study.
– The principle of visibility.
When learning a foreign language for preschoolers, visual supports, both visual and auditory (audio recordings, educational computer games, cartoons, etc.), are of great importance.
III. Methodological principles:
– The principle of communicative orientation.
To develop speaking skills, offer real situations from the life of a child, which will give him the opportunity to get used to foreign speech, learn to highlight words in the flow of speech, fulfill requests, which ultimately should lead to a desire to become an active participant in the communication process.
– The principle of verbal advance.
The principle is based on the idea that the language should be acquired through oral communication, which is best suited for preschool age, since children do not yet know how to write and read in their native language. Thus, preschoolers get acquainted only with the sound side of speech.
Mastering a foreign language by preschoolers requires the participation of not only a qualified teacher, but also sensitive parents who can also help in learning a foreign language.
Psychologists and specialists in the field of preschool education have developed a system of recommendations for parents, the following can be distinguished [3]:
– it is necessary to come up with a native speaker, for example, a toy and use techniques for switching from one language to another;
– play with the baby using a foreign language (sculpting, drawing, outdoor games, crafts, home play experiments). This will allow you to master the language material in a natural play environment for the baby and create a favorable emotional background;
– gradually add views of cards with inscriptions in a foreign language and voice the names of objects;
– learn how to pronounce foreign sounds correctly with your child and play phonetic games;
– begin to give grammar in the form of simple constructions using the example of children’s fairy tales or games;
– arrange the lesson in such a way that the change of activities occurs every 3-5 minutes.
Childhood is the time of new discoveries, new knowledge, this is the time when the material is assimilated faster and less effort is expended. Teaching a foreign language to a preschooler can be considered as a preparatory stage for school, so in the future it will be easier for him to adapt to a large teaching load. He will develop communication skills in both his native and foreign languages, develop attentiveness, perseverance, diligence and interest in acquiring new knowledge.
But the question of choosing a methodology, setting goals and objectives of preschool education in the field of mastering foreign languages remains unresolved. Additional preschool education for children is considered as an independent component of the modern model of education. Parents can independently choose the most suitable program in their opinion from the many offered.

Biography
The son of a carpenter, was an apprentice of a London printer, then the owner of his own printing house. Even as a child, Richardson was famous for his ability to write letters, and, by his own admission, already at the age of 13 he helped neighbor girls to correspond with fans. At the age of 17, he entered the printing house as an apprentice, and in 1719 he opened his own business. In 1721 Richardson married his former master’s daughter, Martha Wilde. During ten years of marriage, the Richardsons had six children, but only one daughter survived. After Martha’s death in 1731, Richardson married Elizabeth Leake; of their six children, four daughters survived to adulthood. The printing business prospered, but Richardson never had an heir to take over the business: his nephew Thomas Werren also died young. Richardson published over 500 books from his printing press.
Richardson turned to literature only at the age of 50. He conducted extensive correspondence with women of different classes, distinguished by a deep understanding of female psychology, which was reflected in his novels. Friends – Charles Rivington and John Osborne – asked him to write some letters for the planned letterbook “Guide to writing gallant letters”: Richardson was commissioned to write letters that would “warn beautiful girls … of the dangers that may threaten their virtue.” Richardson decided to write a book that would teach people “to think and act in ordinary and extraordinary cases.” Richardson’s purpose was primarily didactic; in a letter to one of his friends, he says that he hopes to “distract the youth from the fascination with the fabulous and wonderful in poetry and arouse interest in what contributes to the development of morality and religion.” Richardson conceived and executed his novels in the form of letters: they are, as it were, dramas for reading, with stage directions extended to guide readers.
Novels
Samuel Richardson
Richardson’s first novel, Pamela, appeared in 1740 under the lengthy title: “Pamela, or Virtue Rewarded, A Series of Letters from a Fair Maiden to Her Parents, for the Edification of Young Men and Maidens, etc. ” (“Pamela; or, Virtue Rewarded”, continued 1741). “Pamela” caused a whole storm of imitations and parodies, including Fielding’s “Chamela”.
It was followed by “Clarissa, or the Story of a Young Lady, Containing the Most Important Questions of Private Life, and Showing in Particular the Disasters Which May Be the Consequence of the Misconduct of Both Parents and Children in Relation to Marriage” (“Clarissa; or, the History of a Young Lady: comprehending the most important concerns of private life; and particularly shewing the distresses that may attend the misconduct of both of parents and children, in relation to marriage”, 1747-1748) and The History of Sir Charles Grandison” ( “The History of Sir Charles Grandison”, 1754).
There are few events in Richardson’s novels. In eight parts of “Clarice” incidents are told for 11 months; in Grandisson, the action stops at every turn to analyze thoughts and feelings. The author keeps coming back. One letter describes what happened; then another person in a letter to a third person comments on what happened, and so on. According to Johnson, if you read Richardson’s novels with an interest in the plot, you can hang yourself with impatience. But the interest of these novels is not in the plot, but in the analysis of feelings and in moralizing.
Richardson’s three novels consistently describe the life of the lower, middle and upper class of society. Pamela, the heroine of the first novel, emerges victorious from temptation and becomes the wife of the one who wanted to seduce her. Contemporaries rightly reproached Richardson for the practical nature of the virtue of his heroine. Richardson’s best novel is Clarissa or The Young Lady’s Story; it is not as stretched out as the Grandison. The heroine, seduced by Lovelace, dies amidst suffering, surrounded by the halo of an innocently oppressed, virtuous victim of fate; Lovelace is killed in a duel by Clarissa’s avenger, Colonel Morden. Many readers demanded that the novel be given a happy ending, but Richardson believed that this would be an excuse for the hero’s immoral behavior. The interest of the novel is in two main characters: Clarissa, whose meek charm is enhanced by her weakness, and Lovelace, a typical shameless seducer, depicted in the novel as a “villain” with a captivating appearance. Despite the exaggeration and almost caricature, Lovelace created a type that has remained forever in literature and has become a household name in life.
As a counterbalance to Lovelace, “Charles Grandison” is written. Readers reproached Richardson for slandering men by creating ideal female types: in response to this, he created the image of the ideal Grandison. His valor is completely conditional: these are walking commonplaces of petty-bourgeois morality, Grandison is smarter, more beautiful, braver than everyone else and equips his exploits with arguments about duty and virtue. Despite the extraordinary length, the excess of introductory episodes, the novel feels a great power of analysis and there are dramatic provisions. Grandison rescues the young provincial Harriet Byron, who was kidnapped by the society reveler Sir Hargrave Polliksfen, who looks like Lovelace. Harriet falls in love with him, but Grandison made a promise to marry the Italian aristocrat Clementine della Porretta. In the end, Clementine decides she does not want to marry a Protestant and Grandison returns to Harriet.
Influence

The main feature of Richardson’s novels, which made them popular, and Richardson himself the founder of a new school of novelists, is “sensibility”. The story of Lovelace and his victims was a huge success in England and gave rise to a great imitative literature, as well as many parodies, the most famous of which is “The History of the Adventures of Joseph Andrews and His Friend Mr. Adams“, 1742) by Henry Fielding) and Grandison II (“Grandison der Zweite, oder Geschichte des Herrn von N***”, 1760-1762) by the German writer Museus [1] .
Outside of England, Richardson’s sentimentality has also become the watchword of a broad literary movement. Richardson’s imitators are Goldoni in two comedies (“Pamela Nubile” and “Pamela maritata”), Wieland in the tragedy “Clementine von Paretta”, Francois de Neufchâteau in the comedy “Pamela ou la vertu recompensée” and others. Richardson’s influence is also noticeable in Rousseau’s New Eloise, Diderot’s The Nun, in the writings of J. F. Marmontel and Bernardin de Saint-Pierre (for Richardson’s Russian imitations, see Sentimentalism and Russian Literature).
Richardson’s popularity lasted so long that even Alfred Musset called “Clarissa” “the best novel in the world.” Richardson can be called not only the founder of the modern novel in England, but also the forerunner of the whole sentimental school in Europe.
In view of the length of his novels, abridged editions of Clarissa (1868) were made by Dallas, Grandisson by Professor Saintsbury (1895). The collected works of Richardson were published in London in 1783 and 1811. Translated into Russian: “English letters, or the history of Cavalier Grandisson” (St. Petersburg, 1793-1794), “The memorable life of the maiden Clarissa Garlov” (St. Petersburg, 1791-1792), “The Indians” (Moscow, 1806), “Pamela, or rewarded virtue” (St. Petersburg, 1787; another translation 1796), “Clarissa or the story of a young lady” (“Library for Reading”, 1848, ch. 87-89) in the retelling of A.V. Druzhinin.

Richardson, Samuel | is… What is Richardson, Samuel?
Samuel Richardson (eng. Samuel Richardson ; August 19, 1689, Derbyshire – July 4, 1761, Parsons Green) – English writer, founder of “sensitive” literature of the 18th and early 19th centuries. His three epistolary novels brought him fame: Pamela, or Virtue Rewarded (1740), Clarissa, or the Story of a Young Lady (1748) and Sir Charles Grandison’s Story (1753). In addition to his writing career, Richardson was a respected printer and publisher and published about 500 different works, numerous newspapers and magazines.
At times during his printing career, Richardson had to endure the death of his wife and their five sons and eventually remarry. Although his second wife bore him four daughters who lived to adulthood, he never had an heir who could continue his work. Although the printing shop was slowly fading away, his legacy became undeniable when, at the age of 51, he wrote his first novel and immediately became one of the most popular and celebrated writers of the time.
He moved among the most progressive Englishmen of the 18th century, including Samuel Johnson and Sarah Fielding. Although he was acquainted with most of the members of the London Literary Society, he was a rival of Henry Fielding and they started a literary skirmish in their writings.

Biography
Richardson was born in 1689 in the village of Mackworth, Derbshire, England, to Samuel and Elizabeth Richardson, and was one of nine children. Information about exactly where Richardson was born is not entirely reliable, since the writer himself constantly hid it. The elder Richardson, according to the younger’s description, was “a very honest man, coming from a middle-class family in Surrey, but in which for many generations there were a huge number of children, and modest estates were divided into parts, so that he and his brothers had to deal with trade, and the sisters were given in marriage to merchants.
His mother, according to Richardson, “was also a fine woman, though not of aristocratic blood, whose father and mother died while she was an infant, half an hour apart, during the plague of 1665 in London”
That, what his father did was akin to carpentry (a kind of carpentry, but Richardson explained that “then it was something different than it is now”). Describing his father’s business, Richardson claimed that “he was an excellent draftsman and understood architecture”, and Samuel Richardson’s adopted son suggested that the younger Richardson become a cabinetmaker and export mahogany while he worked on Aldersgate. His father’s opportunities and office brought him to the attention of James Scott, 1st Duke of Monmouth. But, according to Richardson himself, this was to the detriment of the younger Richardson, since the Monmouth Rebellion was crushed and ended in Scott’s death in 1685. After Scott’s death, Richardson senior had to leave his job and return to a modest life in Derbshire.
Early life
Richardson’s family was not permanently cut off from London, they did eventually return so that Richardson Jr. could study at Christ’s Hospital High School. The level of education there was highly questionable, with Leigh Hunt later writing: “In fact, not many people know that Richardson … received the education that he had (very little and not beyond simple English) at Christ’s Hospital school. It’s really amazing considering that this same school has produced so many good students, educated people; but in his time and in later years this institution was divided into several departments that did not participate in each other’s life, and Richardson, in accordance with his father’s intention to involve his son back in trade, limited himself to the literacy department, where only writing and arithmetic were taught. .
However, this contradicts Richardson’s nephew, who stated that “there was no more respected seminary than a private school in Derbshire to which Richardson could be sent.”
Little is known of Richardson’s early life other than what he himself is willing to share. Although his appearance was not accompanied by any special events and incidents, he nevertheless spoke about the origins of his writing talent; Richardson entertained friends with his stories and spent his youth writing letters tirelessly. One of them, written by Richardson at almost 11, was addressed to a woman in her fifties who constantly criticized those around her and, having thought over the style and appeal to a person of her position and age, wrote her a warning letter in connection with her activities. However, his handwriting betrayed him, and the woman complained about the boy to her mother. As a result, he explained, “my mother scolded me for taking such liberties with a woman of her age, but also praised my principles while continuing to reproach me for such impudence.”
When his writing skills gained public recognition, he began to help those around him write letters. In particular, at the age of 13, he often helped the girls he knew answer the love letters they received. Richardson stated: “I was inevitably censured and even rejected if any offense was inflicted or inflicted, while the same censuring opens before me his heart, full of respect and tenderness.” And although this contributed to the development of his abilities, in 1753 he asked the Dutch minister Steenstra not to jump to conclusions from his early activities: “Do you think, Sir, that my secretary to young ladies in my father’s district gave me the basis for creating images of my three works. But it gave me a little more, more at such a tender age than the question, I must say, my research over time allowed me to study the female heart. 0005
He went on to explain that he did not fully experience the essence of womanhood until he began writing Clarissa, and these letters were just a humble beginning.
“I recall that I realized early on that I had a rich imagination and ingenuity. I was not fascinated by games, like other boys; my schoolmates called me Serious and Important; and five of them were particularly eager to take me for a walk, to their house, or to ask me to listen to my stories. Some were retellings of what I had read myself, others from my head, pure fiction, which they particularly liked and were even strongly impressed by. One of them, I remember, even tried to get me to write a story, as he called it, like “Tommy Potts”, I no longer remember what it was about, except that a beautiful young lady preferred a servant to an immoral, wanton lord. But all my stories, I dare say, contained a deep moral.
– Samuel Richardson on his writing
Early career
Richardson Sr. originally wanted his son to become a priest, but he could not afford the education that Richardson Jr. deserved, so he let him choose his own profession. He settled on the printing business, as he hoped to “quench the thirst for reading, which he subsequently denied.” At the age of seventeen, in 1706, Richardson was apprenticed to John Wilde as a printer for a period of seven years. Wilde’s printing shop was located in the Golden Lion Court building on Aldersgate Street, and Wilde himself had a reputation as a master who punished for every hour that was not spent with benefit to him.
“I worked diligently for seven consecutive years for a master who punished for every hour spent not useful to him, even for those hours of rest that he had to provide thanks to the perseverance of my comrades, although for other masters, giving such time to their students was quite natural, habitual. Instead of resting, I stole reading hours to develop my mental faculties, and began a correspondence with a gentleman, much more educated than I and possessing considerable capital, who prophesied a bright future for me; these were the very opportunities for which I continued my apprenticeship. But here’s what I have to notice; I had to buy candles at my own expense, so as not to in any way cause a loss to the owner, who called me the support of the house, and not to relax myself with observations or an empty seat, but to fulfill my duties.
– Samuel Richardson on his time with John Wilde
While working for Wilde, he met a very wealthy man who became interested in Richardson’s literary talent and they began to correspond. When he died a few years later, Richardson lost his patron, forcing him to postpone his intention to start his own writing career. He decided to devote himself entirely to an apprenticeship and rose to the position of compiler and editor of the press produced in the printing shop. In 1713, Richardson left Wilde and became “Inspector and Editor of the Printers.” This meant that Richardson was able to open a personal printing shop, but where he was is not known. It may have been stationed on Steining Lane or co-driven with John Leek on Juin Street.
On November 23, 1721, Richardson married Martha Wilde, the daughter of his former employer, purely for financial reasons, although Richardson claimed that there was an ardent feeling between him and Martha. Soon he moved her to his printing shop, which at the same time served as his home.
Richardson’s business flourished especially when he took his first students: Thomas Gower, George Mitchell and Joseph Chrichley. Later they will be joined by William Prince (May 2, 1727), Samuel Joly (September 5, 1727), Bethel Wellington (September 2, 1729) and Halhead Garland (May 5, 1730). Richardson’s first major commissions came in June 1723 when he began printing a fortnightly edition of The True Briton for the Duke of Wharton, Philip Wharton. It was a Jacobin political pamphlet, vehemently critical of the government, and was soon closed for “regular slander.” However, Richardson’s name was not mentioned on the publication and he managed to avoid adverse consequences, although it is possible that Richardson was involved in writing them. The only result of this incident was Robert Lovelace, the hero of the work “Clarissa”, in which Richardson displayed the free-thinking features of Wharton, although the latter was only one of many from whom this image was written. In 1724 Richardson befriended Thomas Ghent, Henry Woodfall and Arthur Onslow, the latter of whom later became Speaker of the House of Commons.
In ten years of marriage, the Richardsons had five sons and one daughter, and three sons were named after their father Samuel, but they all died just a few years after birth. His wife, Martha, died on January 25, 1731, almost immediately after the death of their fourth child, their son William. Their youngest son Samuel lived a year after his mother’s death, but fell ill from an illness and died in 1732. After that, Richardson decided to move forward, he married Elizabeth Leak and they moved to another house. However, Elizabeth and his daughter were not the only ones living there, as Richardson allowed his students to live with them. With his second wife, he also had six children (5 girls and a boy). Four daughters: Mary, Martha, Anna and Sarah came of age and even outlived their father. Son, also Samuel, born in 1739year and died soon after.
In 1733 Richardson, at the suggestion of Onslow, was offered a contract with the House of Commons to publish the Journals of the House. Twenty-six volumes quickly corrected Richardson’s case. Later in 1733 he wrote The Journeyman’s Handbook, instructing young people to follow his example and be diligent and selfless. The work was aimed at “creating the ideal assistant”. It was written as a response to The Epidemic Vices of Our Age, a work notorious for condemning all forms of entertainment, including theaters, taverns, and gambling. The central character becomes an apprentice who must influence society, not because he is the most prone to sins, but because he is more responsible for the moral character of those around him than others. During this time, Richardson hired five more guys. By the thirties of the eighteenth century, his staff was 7 people, since the first three completed their apprenticeship by 1728, and two more died shortly after they came to Richardson. The loss of Veren, his nephew, destroyed the last hope that anyone would inherit his printing house.
Novels
Samuel Richardson
Richardson’s first novel, Pamela, appeared in 1740 under the lengthy title: Pamela or Virtue Rewarded, A Series of Letters from a Fair Maiden to Parents, for the Edification of Young Men and Maidens, etc. (“Pamela; or, Virtue Rewarded”, continued 1741). “Pamela” caused a whole storm of imitations and parodies, including Fielding’s “Chamela”.
It was followed by “Clarissa, or The Story of a Young Lady, Containing the Most Important Questions of Private Life, and Showing in Particular the Disasters Which May Be the Consequence of the Misconduct of Both Parents and Children in Relation to Marriage” (“Clarissa; or , the History of a Young Lady: comprehending the most important concerns of private life; and particularly shewing the distresses that may attend the misconduct of both of parents and children, in relation to marriage”, 1747-1748) and The History of Sir Charles Grandison” (“The History of Sir Charles Grandison”, 1754).
Richardson’s novels are not full of action. The eight parts of Clarissa describe the events of eleven months; in Grandisson, the action is constantly interrupted so that the author has the opportunity to give a lengthy analysis of what is happening, he goes back, once again describes the events, comments on them. According to Johnson, if you read Richardson’s novels, being interested in the plot, you can hang yourself with impatience. But the interest of these novels is not in the plot, but in the analysis of feelings and in moralizing .
Richardson’s three novels consistently describe the life of the lower, middle and upper class of society. Pamela, the heroine of the first novel, is a maid who staunchly resists the young master’s attempts to seduce her, and later marries him. Contemporaries rightly reproached Richardson for the practical nature of the virtue of his heroine.
Richardson’s best novel – “Clarissa” or “The Story of a Young Lady”; it is not as stretched out as the Grandison. The heroine, dishonored by the society lion Robert Lovelace, dies in agony. For a virtuous girl who has become a victim of family ambitions, passions and deceit, Clarissa’s friends stand up. One of them fulfills the last will of the deceased, the other, Colonel Morden, kills the offender in a duel. The novel caused a mixed reaction from the public, many readers demanded a reworking of the ending and a happy ending. Richardson, on the other hand, believed that this would be an excuse for the protagonist’s immoral behavior. The main historical value of the novel lies in the exemplary anti-hero created by Richardson, a typical seducer, whose name is still a household name.
As a counterbalance to Lovelace, “Charles Grandison” is written. Readers reproached Richardson for slandering men by creating ideal female types: in response to this, he created the image of an ideal gentleman. Grandison is smart, handsome, virtuous, petty-bourgeois morality is alien to him. Grandison saves the young provincial Harriet Byron, who was kidnapped by the rake, similar to Lovelace, Sir Hargrave Polliksfen. Harriet falls in love with her savior, but Grandison is bound by a promise to marry an Italian aristocrat, Clementina della Porretta. In the end, Clementine decides she does not want to marry a Protestant and Grandison returns to Harriet.
Influence
Illustration for the 1742 edition of Pamela
The main feature of Richardson’s novels, which made them popular, and Richardson himself the founder of a new school of novelists, is “sensibility”. The story of Lovelace and his victims was a huge success in England and caused a wave of imitation in literature, as well as many parodies, the most famous of which is “The History of the Adventures of Joseph Andrews and His Friend Mr. . Adams“, 1742) by Henry Fielding) and “Grandison the Second” (“Grandison der Zweite, oder Geschichte des Herrn von N***”, 1760-1762) by the German writer Museus [1] .
Outside of England, Richardson’s sentimentality has also become the watchword of a broad literary movement. Richardson’s imitators are Goldoni in two comedies (“Pamela Nubile” and “Pamela maritata”), Wieland in the tragedy “Clementine von Paretta”, Francois de Neufchâteau in the comedy “Pamela ou la vertu recompensée” and others. Richardson’s influence is also noticeable in Rousseau’s New Eloise, Diderot’s The Nun, in the writings of J. F. Marmontel and Bernardin de Saint-Pierre (for Richardson’s Russian imitations, see Sentimentalism and Russian Literature).
Richardson’s popularity lasted so long that even Alfred Musset called “Clarissa” “the best novel in the world.” Richardson can be called not only the founder of the modern novel in England, but also the forerunner of the whole sentimental school in Europe.
In view of the length of his novels, abridged editions of Clarissa (1868) were published by Dallas, Grandisson by Professor Saintsbury (1895). The collected works of Richardson were published in London in 1783 and 1811. Translated into Russian: “English letters, or the history of Cavalier Grandisson” (St. Petersburg, 1793-1794), “The memorable life of the maiden Clarissa Garlov” (St. Petersburg, 1791-1792), “Indians” (Moscow, 1806), “Pamela, or rewarded virtue” (St. Petersburg, 1787; another translation 1796), “Clarissa or the story of a young lady” (“Library for Reading”, 1848, ch. 87-89) in the retelling of A. V. Druzhinin.

90,000 Richardson Samuel
English writer (1689-1761)
From Pushkin’s novel Evgeny Onegin, we know that Tatyana Larina’s mother was counted by Richardson’s pacifier novels , not because she read … “), but she especially liked his noble hero Charles Grandison. She believed that Grandison was the type of ideal man. Yes, and Tatyana herself enthusiastically read Richardson’s novels, imagining herself as Clarissa.
And yet, interest in sentimental literature and the psychological novel gradually declined in the 19th century: “And the incomparable Grandison, who makes us sleepy” (Pushkin), but at all times the author’s romantic heroes find a response in the hearts of readers.
It must be said that it was by no means accidental that Pushkin introduced mention of this author and his literary hero into his novel.
Richardson’s novels were indeed the most popular reading of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, not only in Russia, but practically throughout Europe. We can say that in terms of issues and impact on readers, they became the forerunners of modern television series.
The story of S.Richardson is as typical of his time as the plots of his novels. He was born in London and was the fourth son of a poor carpenter. After learning to read and write, his father apprenticed him to his familiar printer. Samuel worked in his workshop almost all his life. He went from an apprentice to the owner of a printing house, which he became in his mature years by marrying the daughter of his master. In the end, the energetic young man was so successful in printing that he became the head of the guild of printers.
From a young age, Richardson had an insatiable thirst for knowledge. Contemporaries recalled that in his youth he spent nights on end over books, on which he spent almost all his money. True, he did not receive a systematic education, and this circumstance more than once became the subject of ridicule from those who envied his incredible popularity.
Richardson’s parents were zealous Protestants. The main book in their house has always been the Bible, as well as various religious writings. This circumstance also for a long time prevented Richardson from taking a decisive step for any author – signing the works with his own name.
Richardson turned to literature as an established person. Having inherited a printing house from his father-in-law, he began his career by preparing a new letter book (“Guide to Writing Gallant Letters”) – a collection of sample letters that were supposed to educate the tastes and style of his readers. The book sold almost instantly, and Richardson reprinted it several times, adding new texts. His young neighbors began to approach him with requests to write them love letters. It is noteworthy that the writer, who was reputed to be an exemplary family man, did not refuse such requests to anyone. Richardson really decided to publish a book that would teach people to “think and act in ordinary and extraordinary cases. ” At the same time, at first he did not pretend to be the author of novels, but only the publisher of supposedly genuine letters. He was convinced that literature should teach and elevate the reader, help to choose the right pattern of behavior. In a letter to one of his friends, he said that he hoped to “distract the youth from the fascination with the fabulous and wonderful in poetry and arouse interest in what contributes to the development of morality and religion.” Richardson conceived and executed his novels in the form of letters: they are, as it were, dramas for reading, with stage directions extended to guide readers. He was convinced that literature should teach and elevate the reader, help to choose the right pattern of behavior. In a letter to one of his friends, he said that he hoped to “distract the youth from the fascination with the fabulous and wonderful in poetry and arouse interest in what contributes to the development of morality and religion.”
Apparently, he was prompted to write his first novel by a story that, as it were, continued one of his letters. The owner of a rich estate tried for a long time and unsuccessfully to seduce his maid, and then fell in love with her and finally married a virtuous girl. In order to break the resistance of an innocent girl, the dissolute rake uses all means: both insults and slander, but retreats, subdued by her stamina and kindness. Contemporaries reproached Richardson for the too practical character of his heroine’s virtue.
Richardson made this simple story the basis of his first novel, Pamela, or Virtue Rewarded (1741). The first edition came out under the long title: “Pamela or Virtue Rewarded, A Series of Letters from a Beautiful Maiden to Her Parents, for the Edification of Young Men and Girls, etc.”
The secret of the popularity of the novel was that. that Richardson was not talking about noble ladies and gentlemen, but about the most ordinary people who lived in the neighborhood of his readers. His work convincingly proved that everyday life can be no less exciting than extraordinary adventures in some fictional country.
Pamela’s story was not just told, but transmitted in the form of letters from the young heroine to her parents. This form allowed the writer not only to reveal the inner world of a young girl, but also to bring it closer to the reader. Richardson so convincingly conveyed the way of thinking of a young girl that after the release of the book, he did not cease to be interested in the real name of the heroine. The fact is that the writer did not dare to reveal his authorship and modestly announced that he was only the publisher of the letters that came to him.
The success of the first novel inspired Richardson to take up writing again. Six years later, in 1747, he publishes the first part of the narrative about the adventures of Clarissa Harlow, a girl of noble birth who received a significant inheritance, but was forced to fight for it with her relatives. This novel is also written in the form of correspondence between the main characters.
The form of this work turned out to be unusual. The writer tells the same story through the mouths of four people: Clarissa, her friend, as well as the aristocrat Lovlace, who is in love with her, and his friend Belford.
The popularity of the novel “Clarissa Harlow” (1747) was so great that the name of the protagonist Lovlas became a household name, turning into the definition of a carefree upstart who could be carried away by any woman he met. The end of Clarissa’s story is tragic; the rejected Lovlas ends his life in a lunatic asylum.
When Richardson ended his novel with the death of the heroine. he began to receive a huge number of letters from his readers, each of which contained a request to change the end of the novel. contemporaries told. that the most zealous admirers came under the windows of the writer’s house and staged a kind of demonstration there. But the writer insisted on his own.
Richardson’s third and final novel, The History of Charles Grandison, was written at a time when the writer retired from London’s bustling life to his Parsons Green estate. There he lived the last ten years of his life, rarely going out into the world and hosting only his closest friends. Among them was the famous English writer Henry Fielding, who even once said that he wrote his famous novel The Adventures of Tom Jones, the Foundling, as a kind of challenge to Richardson.
Unlike Pamela… and Clarissa…, Richardson’s last novel was not based on a dramatic conflict between the main characters. Now the writer tells the story of a young man of his time. Sir Charles Grandison became the first ideal male hero in European literature. He is the ancestor of the gallery of characters to which Childe Harold D. Byron, Erast N. Karamzin, Eugene Onegin A. Pushkin, and Pechorin M. Lermontov belong.
However, Richardson himself could serve as a prototype for his characters, although he was married twice. He was distinguished by exemplary behavior in everyday life and dearly loved his children. True, he admitted in one of his letters that when choosing a life partner, he was invariably guided by “prudence, and not strong passion.

Nevada child care resource center opens in Las Vegas
Published February 24, 2022 at 1:59 PM PST
Lucretia Cunningham
/
KUNR Public Radio
Gov. Steve Sisolak and Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto listen as child care provider Anitra Lott speaks during a grand opening event for the Nevada Strong Start Child Care Services Center on Feb. 22, 2022, in Las Vegas, Nev.
A hub to provide child care resources has opened its first site in Las Vegas. One other location is expected to open in Reno later this year.
The Nevada Strong Start Child Care Services Center is the first of its kind in the state, where over 70% of the population lives in what the Center for American Progress calls a “child care desert.”
The goal is to streamline resources, making it simpler for child care providers to open their doors to children in their communities.
Anitra Lott opened Kingdom’s Daycare in Las Vegas at the height of the pandemic in 2020. At that time, she spent hours making phone calls to different agencies just trying to figure out what she needed to obtain licensure. This hub brings those agencies together in one office to help with every step of the process, even seemingly small tasks.

A young child plays inside the playroom at the Nevada Strong Start Child Care Services Center on Feb. 22, 2022, in Las Vegas, Nev. The playroom allows providers to bring the children they care for with them when they visit the center.
“Take, for instance, laminations,” she said. “You’d have to buy a laminating machine, and we didn’t have money for things like that. When we get to the part where we want to open a building, they help us fill out applications. It’s a lot!”
The laminating machine and computers are a part of the “lending library” set inside the coworking space. And, with the in-house playroom, providers don’t have to worry about a substitute when they come to visit during the workday.
The Division of Welfare and Supportive Services is funding the center with COVID-19 relief grants and through the American Rescue Plan. Marty Elquist is a director with a nonprofit called The Children’s Cabinet and explains the significance of funding this public-private collaboration.
“COVID has not been easy on any of us,” Elquist explained. “But especially hard on those with young children who are trying to make ends meet. Also, especially hard on our child care workforce who has operated on a shoe-string budget before COVID, only to find themselves with increased operating expenses, regulations [and] decreased enrollment.”
Agencies like the Las Vegas Urban League assist child care centers to become subsidized, and Wonderschool provides business tools to help drive enrollment. Both have offices in the shared-services model.
One other Child Care Services Center is expected to open in Reno later this year.
US Preschool
US Preschool is optional. Parents decide whether to send their child to kindergarten depending on the family budget and circumstances.
There are various types of preschools, including non-profit, church, private, Montessori schools. Non-profit schools are the least expensive. They employ parents as teacher assistants or as teachers. Church schools are tied to religious centers. The learning process in them includes religious education. Private schools are the most expensive. A number of private kindergartens use the Montessori method of teaching. This method is more a philosophy of life than a teaching method. It is based on the belief that every child is an individual with unique needs, interests and abilities. Montessori schools come in two levels: for children aged 2.5 to 6 and for children aged 6 to 12.
Private lessons are offered for children aged six months to three years. They combine the theory and practice of participating in play groups. There are schools that accept children between the ages of two and four. Lessons usually include arts and crafts, music, educational games, activities to develop motor skills and listening skills. Colleges also offer a variety of courses for young children one or more times a week, such as painting, dancing, cooking.
Many children attend private preschools from 2 to 5 years of age. The cost ranges from $5,000 to $15,000 per year depending on the school and area. School hours vary. As a rule, children attend classes for several hours in the morning from 9 to 11:30 and in the afternoon from 12:45 to 15:15, or 2 times a day. In some schools, it is possible to choose only morning or evening lessons, thereby reducing the cost.
Kindergartens maintain a close relationship with the home and parents. They are designed to introduce children to the social environment of the school.
Studies in several countries, including the US, have shown that children who attend preschool tend to develop faster than those who do not. The percentage of children attending children’s schools in the US is significantly lower (60%) than in Japan and many European countries. For example, in Belgium and France, 95% of children attend preschool. In some American cities, kindergartens are in short supply. You need to get in line as early as possible, perhaps even before conception.
Some of the most prestigious and expensive kindergartens require pre-screening and interviews with family members. Some people believe that choosing the “right” kindergarten is essential for future university admissions.
Kindergarten is highly recommended for children with non-native English parents. Even after a few months of preschool education, the child will integrate into the local society and will be well prepared for primary school.

Jessica Leonard, Director
Hello, everyone! My name is Jessica Leonard. I grew up in central IL and moved to Chicago to attend the University of Illinois at Chicago, where I earned my bachelor’s degree in Psychology. I have been with Little Green Tree House since 2014 where I started in a preschool classroom and eventually settled into my lovely infant classroom where I stayed for almost 5 years. I have been in an administration roll at LGTH since 2020. I love the community built around our schools and have made so many lasting bonds with families and teachers. My goal as a Director is to fuel my fellow educators’ passion for teaching and maintain this amazing environment where our students continue to grow and thrive. When I’m not at LGTH I love traveling & tackling DIY projects.
Ryan Allen, Senior Managing Director
My name is Ryan. I received a Child Development degree from Ellis University in 2009. I went back to school the summer of 2015 to achieve my Director Credentials from Harold Washington. I began my career in daycare back in 2005 and have experience working with every age group. I moved into management in 2015 and opened, directed, and managed 7 locations with my previous company. As a Senior Managing Director, I believe that communication with staff is key in creating a positive and effective workplace. I consider myself to be an open, honest, and fair leader. I also believe that a strong, personal, and open relationship with parents is vital for the success of your child, the staff, and the center. Outside of work, I enjoy traveling as far and often as possible. My friends and I take full advantage of Chicago summers, enjoying concerts, street fests, and my favorite restaurant, The Dock at Montrose.
Betsy Taylor, Enrollment Administrator
Hello! My name is Betsy Taylor. I have a Bachelor’s Degree from Stanford University in Palo Alto, California. During my sophomore year at Stanford, I studied abroad at Oxford University with the Stanford-in-Oxford program and fell in love with the UK! After graduating, I lived in London for many years. The last place I lived in London was in Borough on the South Bank which was a stones-throw from Borough Market, the National Theatre and the Tate Modern! I have been with Little Green Tree House for almost 11 years, and it has been my absolute pleasure to help so many families join LGTH over the last decade! I have enjoyed getting to know each and every one of our wonderful parents and children. Early Childhood Education is my passion, and our talented teachers are a daily inspiration. Hearing “Miss Betsy” as I walk down the hallway will never cease to bring me sunshine on the rainiest of days! I can’t wait to welcome you and your child to the Little Green Tree House family! Come grow and learn with us!

Hi! My name is Kaija Olson and I grew up in Stillwater, Minnesota but moved to Chicago IL during the spring of 2019. I attended college at Whitworth University and Hope College where I studied communications and violin performance. Before coming to Little Green Tree House, I worked for several preschool companies as a teacher and parent relations guide in Chicago. I have loved seeing the amazing opportunities that ECE can provide for all age groups, infants-Pre-K. Since joining the Enrollment team at LGTH in 2021, I have immensely enjoyed the opportunity to welcome new prospective families and children. Outside of LGTH, I love to explore the city, try new recipes, go to concerts and paint in my free time.

“They complain about us”: Linkin Park fans planted six linden trees and met with resistance from Novosibirsk | NHS
Fans managed to plant only six trees out of the planned ones 40
Share
Fans of the band were outraged by the paperwork that prevents making a park in memory of Chester Bennington
Kirov Square in Novosibirsk, but the work had to be completed after a warning from an official. Fans call the future alley “Linkin Park”.
Novosibirsk fans of Linkin Park planted trees on September 21 on Petukhov Street — their action coincided with the city event “Plant your own tree”, when the mayor’s office asked residents to plant seedlings.
Fans managed to plant 6 lindens in the future alley under the supervision of a specialist from the administration of the Kirovsky district, but during the action the participants received a call from Gorzelenkhoz and demanded to stop work, organizer Alla Udodova told NGS.NEWS correspondent.
Work was stopped by a call from the municipality
Share
“Yesterday we planted six lindens. We planted them, but it is not clear what to do with the rest of the trees. We were forbidden to land everything without control, but they don’t give us control. When he ( a representative of “Gorzelenkhoz” – M.M. ) called, he asked if we had read the answer he had compiled for us.
Fans complain that they drowned in paperwork
Share
I repeated that we do not understand this answer – we asked for an explanation the day before, how the intention to create a park in the neighboring territory is connected with the desire to plant 40 trees now.
After that, he said that he was getting calls from residents complaining that we were planting trees,” the organizer described.
It was not possible to quickly contact the director of “Gorzelenkhoz” Alexander Sumin – he did not answer calls. NGS.NOVOSTI sent a request to the press center of the city hall with a request to clarify the position of the municipality regarding Linkin Park.
According to information from the response of the Main Department of Improvement and Gardening (GUBO) of the mayor’s office, which was provided by the fans of the group, GUBO does not object to planting trees in this area if the work is controlled by Gorzelenkhoz.
The action coincided with the Mayor’s office’s “Plant Your Tree” event
Share
And the director of the institution replied to the organizers that they need to coordinate new trees with the residents of the Zatulinsky housing estate, and also submit the park project to the expert councils of the mayor’s office, his response to Linkin fans says park.
Alla Udodova stressed that now they only wanted to plant trees, and the creation and arrangement of the park is still ahead. “We’ve been going from office to office for two months,” she concluded.
In the summer, two city dwellers sent an idea to erect a monument to the American musician Chester Bennington from the Linkin Park band, who died on July 20, to the 125 Ideas for Novosibirsk contest.
