Little Sunshine’s Playhouse And Preschool – Colorado Springs CO Child Care Center
Description: Childtime’s educational philosophy is based on the Reggio Emilia approach, named after the Italian city and the surrounding villages where the method took root after World War II. Central to this philosophy is the belief that secure relationships with responsive and respectful adults provide the basis for all learning. With these relationships in place, children develop a capacity for trust, competence and independence that helps them grow as students and people.

“Invest in sweatshirts and be original” — Ksenia Leri about who trends are created for and why you shouldn’t focus on them
Last fall, two of the world’s largest brands Disney and AVON launched a project for young designers Fashion Academy . According to the results of the creative competition, the jury selected 9 finalists who will take part in the television part of the project as part of the program “Rules of Style” on channel Disney . This is an opportunity for talented fashion designers to express themselves, create their own collections in front of millions of TV viewers and show them on a real podium. Under the guidance of the best experts in the Russian fashion industry, young designers will create clothing collections inspired by Disney, and the winner will get the chance to present their work in the Avon catalog.
On the eve of this event, we talked with an invited expert, the founder of the first Russian trendwatching agency Trendsquire Xenia Leri . A lecturer at the British Higher School of Design told Glamour about who can and cannot be considered trendsetters and what trends are really worth attention.
You can learn about this and much more in the project releases, where Ksenia Leri will not only meet with the finalists and talk about trendwatching, but also share important life hacks that young designers need. The tips received during the master class will help the participating fashion designers create successful commercial collections, taking into account the latest trends.
Please name the main fashion trends that you should focus on today.
Don’t expect 100% recommendations from me. We live in an era when the main trend can, perhaps, be called originality. Of the fashion whales, it is worth noting sportswear, casual style accessories, bright colors. But, in my opinion, the main trend is originality, self-expression through clothes. And here, of course, it is difficult to say which trends suit everyone, because, as you know, all girls are different.
Who do you think is the main fashion trendsetter today and why?
According to ratings and statistics, the main trendsetter is Olga Buzova . However, I would not say that she has a great influence on fashion, and despite her popularity and a large number of subscribers on social networks, I cannot call her the main trendsetters. Here I would like to quote the beautiful plus-size model Katya Zharkova . She tells and shows that you can have curvaceous and athletic body at the same time. A woman should not be a skinny skeleton. A beautiful girl can be completely different and remain original. This is the epitome of a trend.
Here I would like to mention, of course, famous girls from abroad, who also have a fairly strong influence. Among them, for example, the singer Beyoncé , she actively follows fashion and takes part in it, again, defending her right to the title of trendsetter with an unusual and non-standard figure. This, perhaps, is correct, because in our time non-standard is becoming the new norm and is welcomed. Any features of a person make him unique, make a girl attractive. We understand more and more that the unambiguous strict canons of beauty that have been imposed on us for several decades are outdated today. And boys don’t like standard girls, and girls don’t like standard boys.
Tie-dying is exactly what it sounds like. You twist a T-shirt, garment or other cloth item, tie it in various places with rubber bands and then dye it. When finished, the twisted and folded areas of the shirt reveal a cool colored pattern. After a good rinsing and then drying, you are left with a shirt that’s as fun as it is fashionable.
Tie-dye shirts make great team T-shirts, and they also make for a great activity for kids. Consider lining up a fun tie-dye project for your next party. Even better, the final product doubles as instant party favor. Try these instructions for tie-dye basics and a few fun patterns.
Tie-dye materials
White, 100% cotton T-shirt (or other cotton item)
A tie-dye ink kit (which includes tie-dye instructions) or several colors of Rit dye
These items, if not using a tie-dye kit:
Squirt bottles
Rubber bands
Rubber gloves
Gallon-sized zip plastic bags
Water (to add to the ink bottles)
A spray bottle of water (helpful to dampen shirts before applying ink)
Paper towels or rags for spills
Project preparation
1. Get set up If you have purchased a new T-shirt, machine wash and dry it first, but don’t use fabric softener or a dryer sheet, to avoid leaving any kind of residue on the fabric that might repel the ink. Cover your work space with a plastic tablecloth (or set this up outside).
2. Prepare your ink If you bought a kit, set up the inks in the bottles according to the tie-dye instructions. If you bought powered or liquid dye, prepare it according to package instructions and put the ink into the squirt bottles.
3. Prepare your shirt Spray the shirt with water to dampen it, then choose your pattern from the list of four below or come up with your own. Twist the shirt and wrap with rubber bands to secure it in your desired pattern.
4. Ink the shirt Squeeze ink onto the sections per kit instructions or per the pattern you’ve decided to follow — or freestyle it! Once you’ve finished dying, place each shirt in a sealed plastic bag for 24 hours to allow the ink to set and the colors to become vibrant.
5. Rinse After 24 hours, put on a pair of rubber gloves, remove the shirt from the bag and rinse it in cold water (without removing the rubber bands) until the water runs clear of the dye. Then remove the rubber bands, rinse again, then machine wash and dry the shirts on the hottest setting allowed on the shirt tag. Do not combine the shirts with any other clothing for that initial wash and dry in case any extra dye bleeds. When it’s dry, you are ready to wear and enjoy your classic shirt!
Tie-dye patterns
1. The classic swirl pattern
Pull the shirt from the center stomach area and twist/swirl in one direction so the entire shirt forms a flattened disc shape that looks a rose. Wrap the disc with three to six rubber bands in a crisscross overlap pattern which will give you six wedges or quadrants of fabric. Put on your rubber gloves and squirt at least three different dye colors onto the wedges formed by the bands. Make sure to do the back of the shirt, too, so you have a uniform look.
2. Crumpled or splotched pattern
Lay the shirt flat then take your hand and twist, turn and crumple it while keeping the shirt flat. Pull little pieces of the shirt up by pinching your fingers to bring as much of the shirt up to where the dye will be applied. Continue to crumple the shirt in a random way while making a flattened disc shape. Take several rubber bands and tie into quadrants. Don your rubber gloves, choose your dye and saturate each quadrant.
3. Striped pattern
Fold the shirt from the bottom up into small pleats until the shirt in the shape of a long, thin log. Take your rubber bands and place them evenly across the pleated shirt log using about five to eight bands. Put on your rubber gloves and choose a different dye for each section between rubber bands, making sure the ink is fully absorbed through each layer of pleating. Make sure the shirt is saturated all the way around.
4. Circle pattern
Choose the areas where you want the circle or bull’s-eyes to appear. (Three circles are standard.) Pull a tiny bit of the fabric up in these areas and twist and pinch with your fingers and wrap with one rubber band at the base so the fabric sticks up above it. Follow this for the other areas where you want a circle pattern. Next, choose the color you want the circle to be and squirt on that area above the rubber band making sure it is saturating through. Next choose the color(s) you want the shirt to be and squirt both front and back avoiding where the circle dye is.

31 Fun Things to Do With 10 Year Old Daughter
WhatToGetMy Instructional Article
This article helps you with an exciting list of fun yet cognitive activities to do with your 10 year old daughter. Our list contains both activities to do at home and outdoor activities that she will enjoy.
Spending time with your child is very important and beneficial. Our article on the Benefits of spending time with your child gives you more insights on all the benefits you get to enjoy by spending quality time with your child.
But knowing how to spend quality time with your child in a way that is both fun and exciting for them is always the challenge. In the particular context of a 10 year old, we appreciate that parenting a 10 year old daughter is not always easy. You may often wonder what to do with your daughter, especially for fun and to keep her from being bored. Wonder no more. In this article, we give you a list of the 10 best fun things to do with your daughter who is 10 years old, whether indoors at home, or outdoors.
In our earlier article on Fun things to do with a 10 year old boy, we cover the fun activities you can do with your 10 year old son.

6 Fun Things To Do With Your Daughter At Home.
Table of Contents
The key to fun activities with your 10 year old daughter, is to have those fun activities that also help with their cognitive development. In our earlier article on Cognitive development activities for 6-12 year olds, we explained the importance of incorporating cognitive development activities into the fun routine of 6 – 12 year olds.
Here are 6 wonderful fun and yet cognitive-developmental activities you can have with your 10 year old daughter.
1. Have a backyard tea party.
Tween girls love their tea parties. Why not indulge her by playing as her guest at her high garden tea party. Ask her that you want the honor of an invitation to a tea party and let her bring out her tea party set for an afternoon of fun. It is also a good time to bond and catch up and hear all her exciting stories.
2. Virtual vacations.
Virtual vacations are the new craze. You can travel to many places in the world without even leaving your couch. On a lazy day, sign up for one of these exciting vacation experiences and enjoy it with your 10 year old daughter.
3. Talk.
Talking to your 10 year old daughter is very important. It is a good cognitive development exercise for her too. Talking gives you a chance to get a glimpse into her life and the challenges she may have and questions she has about life and growing up in general. You can make your time talking more fun by either journaling together or playing a talking game with fun conversation cards like Our Moments For Kids.
4. Read together.
Even at 10 years old, reading is still a fun and helpful activity to engage in with your 10 year old daughter. If you feel that she may have outgrown some of her childhood storybooks, why not ask her for her favorite books and read these with her. Since children are more technologically inclined these days, you can each read with a Kindle and discuss some of the points arising from your reading.

5. Dance “Competition”.
Show your 10 year old daughter that you still got the groove in you and let her teach you a thing or two about modern dancing. You will have a good laugh and exciting time.
6. Fashion show.
10 year old girls love fashion shows and a chance to bring out their inner fashionista. Plus it could also be a good excuse to get her to clean out and organize her closet, and yours too. Join in the fun by also trying out and showing your own fashionista side. She may have a thing or two to teach you.

7 Fun Things For 10 Year Olds To Do When Bored At Home.
When kids get bored they can easily become restless and a pain to handle. To avoid that happening, it is good to keep them engaged with fun activities that would be engaging enough to keep the boredom at bay. And here are some great boredom eliminating activities for your 10 year old daughter to do at home.
7. Play a jigsaw puzzle.
Jigsaw puzzles are fun and very engaging. Given the many small pieces they contain, they are also a good way to kill time at home especially if your 10 year old is feeling bored. Bring out your jigsaw puzzle and have a great time joining the pieces together to create one giant beautiful piece.
8. Cook and/or bake together.
This is another fun activity you can do together to keep the boredom at bay. Why not bring out your baking book or cookbook and ask her what she would like for you both to try out. Our article on Gift Ideas for Baking With Children also has helpful ideas for your baking session with her.

10. Play a video game together.
Video games can be addictive if they are not properly managed (check out our article on What to do if your child is addicted to video games if your child is already addicted to it). This is why playing video games with your 10 year old daughter is one of the ways you can manage how much time she spends on video games.
In case you don’t know which video games she loves, this chart drawn from a 2019 survey seen on Statista provides insight into the type of video games they love.

And as the second survey also from the same period shows, 10 year olds prefer playing their video games on a gaming console. So, why not bring out her gaming console and have a fun time playing Minecraft or Fortnite. You will be surprised at how much you will also enjoy it and learn from it, especially Minecraft.
11. Binge-watch their favorite shows or movies together.
The beauty of this fun activity is that it also serves to remind you about the TV shows and movies you loved growing up. You will most likely be tempted to draw comparisons between the popular shows in your time and how the stuff that kids watch these days pale in comparison to them.
This is another great activity that allows you to get an insight into the kind of things your daughter is watching and how good it is for her development.
12. Play games – card games or board games.
Board and card games are good cognitive activities for all ages and are great for passing time. Next time your 10 year old daughter is bored at home, bring out your game of Scrabble or a deck of cards or maybe checkers, and play with her. The boredom will be gone in seconds because she will be too preoccupied with trying to beat you at the game.
And if you’re looking for more ideas of games for two people that you can play with her, check out our article on Fun Games To Play With Two People, for more fun game ideas.
13. Put together a craft or scrapbook.
Scrapbooking or making something crafty and artsy is another fun way to spend an afternoon or day that is feeling boring. Bring out your scrapbook and get scrapbooking or make a card together. And if you don’t have one yet, check out our article on Gifts for Card Makers, Crafters, and Scrapbookers for quality items to buy to get started.

From this chart and our additional items, here is a list of 18 other things 10 year old girls like that you can enjoy with your daughter.
Taking your 10 year old daughter out on a date will make her day. It will make her feel very special and loved. Both moms and dads should have this activity with their 10 year old daughter. For moms, it is a good bonding time with their daughter.
With their dads, it serves two purposes. They get to bond, and secondly and very important, they don’t feel the need to go out with just about any boy that comes along because their dad has made the idea of going on a date pretty normal.
15. Go camping together.
49% of North American parents surveyed in this 2014 survey confirmed that camping with the family is a great way to bond with the family.

Camping out in the wild or outdoors, or even in your backyard is a fun activity that 10 year old girls love. Staying up at night and discussing things that fascinate her around the campfire is a fun and bonding activity she will enjoy very much.
16. Learn a different language together.
Being bilingual is an important life skill to have. And the formative ages of 3 to about 16, 17 years old are key ages to catch on quickly with another language. Why not join the 22.6% of parents who spoke another language other than English with their children at home, according to this survey seen on Statista.

And you don’t even have to leave the comfort of your home. You can download a free language app like Duolingo and teach each other your language of choice, from Spanish, to French, and even German or Portuguese.
17. Go to the spa and/or salon together.
10 year old girls love being spoilt to a time at the spa or salon. Make it a mother-daughter outing and enjoy a lazy afternoon at the spa getting spoilt and followed by a hair treatment at the salon.
18. Family road trip.
Road trips are a fun family activity enjoyed by kids. They get the chance to play their favorite road trip games like I-Spy or License plates. Not to mention that it is the perfect excuse to sing out loud or just enjoy the road trip snacks they get to enjoy.
19. Go on vacation.

Who wouldn’t love packing the vacation bags and taking a much-needed vacation, including 10 year olds, according to the above chart. You can make it a weekend getaway to nearby Canada or you can go as far as Europe or Mexico. Get your daughter and yourself excited with time away in a different place (or continent).

Explore the museum or historic sites around you. And if you don’t have any around you, you can visit some on your next vacation trip or a road trip to another town.
21. Take them to a children’s library reading event.
Children’s library reading events are these cool reading events that libraries put together to try and encourage reading habits in children. Notwithstanding their usefulness and help in motivating children to read, sadly not many parents have bought into it, at least according to this 2015 survey. Why not tap into this under-utilized fun activity for children and take your 10 year old daughter to one in your local library.

22. Amusement park and theme park outing.
Amusement and theme parks are every child’s idea of fun, even a 10 year old girl. Take her for an afternoon of splashing in the water and taking part in fun rides. You can even take the rollercoaster with her and scream your lungs out.
23. Nature/national park outing.
Or you could go for the national park outing for a chance to spend more time in nature and enjoy the serene and calm greenery. Outings to national parks is a good opportunity to show your 10 year old daughter nature and the living things found in nature.
24. Beach vacation.
She would love a chance to wear her bikini and just splash around in the water and play. Beach vacations are a favorite with everyone. To know exactly what you should pack for your beach vacation so that you have a great time with your 10 year old daughter, check out our article on Things to bring on vacation to the beach.

Even 10 year old girls can get a kick out of fishing. Why not pack your fishing rods and set and intrigue her with fishing. She just might enjoy it more than you think.
31. Explore your town or city together.
What better way to show your 10 year old daughter the important landmarks in your town or city to be aware of, than by making it a city or town exploration. You can make it fun for her by giving each other a challenge of things to look out for, like how many streets starts with the letter “A”, or how many McDonalds are there, and the likes. In that way, she gets to pay attention to where important landmarks or areas are in your town or city in case she finds that she is lost one day.

Frequently Asked Questions.
Why is my 10 year old daughter so emotional?
It is very possible and likely she is dealing with puberty development issues. The only way to know is by studying her closely to observe what generally gets her to go off. That would give you an indicator of what she may be struggling with.
How do I deal with an out of control 10 year old daughter?
Write down rules that they are to abide by and have these visible in the house. Strictly enforce these rules by maybe taking away something she likes as punishment. And when she abides by the rules, encourage her with a reward as an incentive to stay well-behaved.
Also, keep her engaged and busy with chores. That way they have little time to cause chaos around the house. And remember to also strictly enforce it. That way you bring a semblance of order in the house and also teach her the importance of being helpful around the house.
How do I spend time with my 10 year old daughter?
Usually why parents find it difficult to spend time with their children is because they don’t know what fun and engaging activities they can carry out with their children. But we take that hassle out of the thinking for you in this article. By doing any or all of the activities in this article, you get to spend quality time with your daughter.
Closing Thoughts.
Spending time with your 10 year old daughter should not be difficult. With any of the fun activities listed in this article, you will have a blast with your 10 year old daughter, and you will get to bond with her at the same time. Have fun.

“This experience can be traumatic.
” What is wrong with matinees in kindergartens
The time for New Year’s matinees in gardens and “lights” in the beginning is coming to an end. Many parents are traditionally disappointed: the plots are banal, the children do not understand the meaning of the poems they have learned, the magic is somehow formal. Chalk editor Ekaterina Krasotkina tried to figure out why there is little real fun at such holidays and whether this can be changed.
Why a matinee is not always fun
Aleksandra Zhigunova, education integration manager, member of the Experts in Education Association:
Historically, children’s matinees are a kind of accountability of educators to their parents. Although, in general, matinees were invented so that children learn self-representation and self-presentation, not be afraid to speak in public and overcome their fears, and also receive positive emotions from the performance and just have fun.
At the same time, in reality, most children experience fear of self-expression and public speaking at matinees. This may be embarrassment and fear of forgetting the words of a poem or a dance movement. Fear of being left without the support of a parent: the child instinctively waits for his presence. Or the fear of condemnation from adults (“Again, you forgot everything!”). Therefore, it is very important to praise the child and in no case point out his oversights. The child expects his parents to be proud of him, and not to be compared with more successful children. nine0003
Tatyana Dospekhova, clinical psychologist:
Adults often require their children to fully participate in the holiday, believing that this is a social norm. Parents, for example, can be quite demanding that their child learn poetry. Thus, the impression of the matinee can be greatly spoiled by the process of preparing for it – especially if the child is hard on memorization or he is embarrassed to speak. They tortured him for a long time, shook him, his mother cursed, in kindergarten they made remarks in front of everyone. This experience can be traumatic. nine0003
In addition, matinees and preparation for them affect children’s self-esteem. By their actions, adults create a certain social ladder of success. If the child came out, told everything – he did well. And if he somehow dances the wrong way, is shy or afraid – not great. Parents teach their children to conventions: “You will receive love on the condition that …” The words “Well, why can’t you even tell a verse!” tell the child that something is wrong with him.
Finally, in any group, children or adults, there are people with different sensitivities. There are hypersensitive children who are too loud, too noisy, too many people – they cannot bear a lot of looks, they are shy, scared, want to hide, they may cry. For such children, there are too many incentives at the holiday, and if there are no breaks and no opportunity to rest, then they may feel bad. nine0003
Natalya Filimonova, music director of the preschool department of school No.
547 in Moscow, member of the board of the University of Childhood:
One of the tasks of modern preschool education is to develop children’s initiative. The initiative is manifested in a situation of choice, uncertainty, trust. In the classic matinee, everything is clearly decided, the children have no choice. And very often this approach causes dissatisfaction of parents. What about the main roles in a fairy tale? By what principle should the Snow Maiden be chosen? After all, for every mother, her daughter is the best, beloved and unique. nine0003
When my daughter went to kindergarten, we had a casting for the role of a fox in our group, preference was given to the girl who would learn poetry better. Imagine the feelings of children who were not chosen. Such competitiveness often leads to the disunity of the children’s team.
A separate word should be said about the poems that are handed out to children. Do they have artistic value – and if so, do the readers understand the meaning of the poems? In the traditional matinee, we use reproductive forms of work, repeated repetition. A child in such a situation does not solve any problems, does not act according to his own plan, does not create a new one. nine0003 Photo: makalex69 / shutterstock / fotodom
How to make matinees more comfortable and interesting
Alexandra Zhigunova:
In no case should children be forced to prepare for a matinee. It is necessary to properly motivate the child so that he wants to speak and prove himself. You can, for example, conduct training in the form of a game so that the child enjoys the process itself, and not from the “demonstration performance”.
To diversify the pre-prepared scenario of the matinee, educators can prepare surprises. It is good if the children are aware of the sequence of speeches of the participants, but do not know the whole plan of the event. So the matinee will have a zest, it will be interesting for children to participate in it, they will feel that this is a holiday not for educators, but for themselves. And this will become an incentive to participate in the next holidays. nine0003
After the matinee, it is important for adults to find out if the children liked the event in order to understand what can be improved. But to remind someone that he forgot the rhyme, or to compare him with other children is absolutely impossible. Instead, talk to your child about what went well.
Tatyana Dospekhova:
For the holiday to be successful, the child must feel safe. The intensity of the stimuli must be bearable for his nervous system.
For highly sensitive children, it is very important that during the matinee there is an opportunity to get out of the process and have a little rest, reboot – and then return to the celebration. Parents can help with this child. The holiday goes well when parents participate in it together with their children, next to the child there is always someone to snuggle up to, who will reassure, support with the words: “Look, everything is in order, we are here together, don’t be afraid, let’s try” . nine0003
It is good if, instead of a learned program, a child has a free choice when to connect to what is happening or disconnect from it. The child may have such thoughts in his head: “I can go dancing, but I can not go dancing. Let the adult who accompanies me dance, while I stand aside and watch. Or I will go with him. Or I’ll ask you to stand next to me.”
Participation in the celebration of parents and children creates a joint experience, which you can then refer to and remember together how everything went. “Do you remember what someone very scary was there?”, Or “How fun it was”, or “How you stumbled there, and I picked you up.” This is very close. nine0003 Photo: Olga_Rusinova / shutterstock / fotodom
What else could a matinee be like? For example, I suggest that children choose their own roles in the upcoming holiday. These are either already existing roles within a certain topic, or children’s answers to the question “Who would you like to be at the holiday?”. There is no need to rush the children here, the child can think about his own image and role until the last moment. nine0003
If we allow children to be who they want to be at the holiday, we make their dreams come true
It seems to me important to come up with children’s games for the holiday, discuss future treats, decorations, and be sure to record the children’s proposals: this adds significance to children’s ideas . The child should also have the opportunity to choose a piece of music. Separately, we can talk about musical numbers: from my own experience, I can say that children perform songs and dances best of all, invented independently or together with the teacher. nine0003
The process of creating a joint holiday gives everyone great pleasure: creativity allows children to reach their potential, and the teacher to avoid a series of the same type of rehearsals. In such a situation, there is a place for real miracles, author’s children’s fairy tales, songs, poems.
We, teachers, always think about how to combine children’s fantasies and desires and at the same time surprise children with some unusual “magic”, we do not reveal all the secrets to the end. For example, we invite parents to play some roles; unusually, each time in a new way, we try to give gifts, come up with a fabulous way to the music hall where the celebration will take place. nine0003
This year, our parents and children received an unusual letter from Santa Claus, in which the wizard was interested in what kind of fairy tale the children would like to get into. The guys voted for their favorite version of the fairy tale with the help of drawn snowflakes or put a signature. Then a special “election commission” counted the votes, and the result of the general vote was the “Underwater New Year”.
Together with the children, we composed a fairy tale “How fish celebrated the New Year”; they painted decorations for the Christmas tree, the music hall, which quickly filled with huge fish, seahorses, waves of their own production; completed tasks from the advent calendar. nine0003
There were little mermaids in different groups at the New Year’s party. Some little mermaids decided to sing a song, while others came up with a dance. In the dance, the girls froze and moved in turn, and also created an unusual wave.
As a result, the holiday will turn out to be interesting for the children themselves, it was not a reporting concert completely from blanks, but a fun interactive.
Anastasia Pivkina, kindergarten teacher at the Yasnaya Sloboda family settlement in the Tula Region:
Holidays are held in our kindergarten every month, and parents actively participate in them. We, educators, have been preparing for them together with the children throughout the month. But this is not memorizing rhymes, but ordinary classes with songs, rhythmic exercises. That is, it is part of our ordinary life. For parents, if they are with us for the first year, this is a surprise. Children like to share their experience with their parents – this is the holiday. nine0003
If a role-playing game is being prepared for the holiday, then each of the children in the group has time to play different roles. In December, we prepared a Christmas story. Each of the children managed to try themselves in the roles of Mary, Joseph, an angel, a shepherdess. The children lived this story for the whole month. They have a Christmas calendar in which they open windows every day and find there some pictures on this topic. They have a table on which the dolls of Mary and Joseph stand, and all month they gradually move towards the barn along the path, and at this time an angel descends from the sky with a baby in her arms. Children see how the story gradually develops, and the holiday for them is like the culmination of what they lived in for a month. nine0003
The holiday itself consists of several parts. At the very beginning – a small master class, when guests can make themselves a small gift. Then we invite everyone to participate in attention games, parents play with their children. Next comes the costume part with a nativity scene. And then everyone gives gifts to each other: parents to children, and children to parents. Children prepare gifts themselves. Last year they made cradles, and parents made puppet babies out of wool. And each baby fell into the cradle – such a joint gift turned out. nine0003

The Detsad.Firmika.ru portal contains addresses and phone numbers of kindergartens and development centers in Nizhny Novgorod. We suggest finding a kindergarten in your area or near a suitable metro station.

Of particular interest are reviews about the institutions of Nizhny Novgorod left by visitors to the portal. We carefully monitor their accuracy, trying to publish only comments from real customers. nine0003
How to choose a full-time kindergarten for a child?
Full day kindergarten groups are characterized by long stays. Most private institutions are open from 7:30 am to 5:00 pm. This is very convenient for working parents who can take the baby to the garden in the morning and pick it up after work. How much does a good private kindergarten in Nizhny Novgorod cost, and what should you pay attention to when choosing?
Requirements for a full-time kindergarten
The day regimen in full day groups is organized in blocks of 30-40 minutes. Games, sleep, meals, walks and other activities alternate in such a way that it is better not to pick up children until 4 pm, otherwise they begin to get upset that they did not have time to participate in something interesting.
Usually, attentive and caring teachers work in private kindergartens, who know how to find contact with children. It is imperative to communicate with the teacher and evaluate her pedagogical training, because a psychologically healthy atmosphere in the group is very important for the baby. nine0003
Here are a few more parameters to consider when choosing:
Food quality and dietary menu for allergy sufferers. It is not easy for children with celiac disease or an allergy to fish to choose a kindergarten where they will take into account their characteristics. For all other babies, it is important that the food is complete, balanced and tasty. With a full day, the number of meals varies from 6 to 8.
Cleanliness of the group, quality of toys and bedding. Children spend the whole day in the garden, it must be clean and ventilated there, and it is better when cleaning is carried out with modern preparations, and not with bleach. When examining the group, ask if the pillows and mattresses are new, how often bedding is changed, check what toys the children play with. All constructors, dolls and cars must be age appropriate and serviceable. nine0121
Development program. Most kindergartens have clubs that can be visited in the afternoon, after lunch. In them, children sculpt, draw, work with designers, put on performances, sing and dance. Sports clubs and foreign language classes are popular. For older groups there is instruction in reading and writing.
Help from specialists. There are kindergartens where a speech therapist and a psychologist work, specialists in early development. For children with speech disabilities or with a difficult psychological state – this is the best option. nine0121
Cost per month. Price is an important parameter for parents, someone needs the most inexpensive garden, and someone is counting on an elite one. On average, prices range from 15,000 to 55,000 rubles; when paying immediately for six months or a year, some companies make discounts.
In addition to the usual walks, children can be offered excursions, going to the circus, cinema or dolphinarium. The monthly fee usually does not include an entertainment program and additional classes. nine0003
To make it convenient to get to the kindergarten, you should use the filter by districts of Nizhny Novgorod and see what good children’s institutions operate nearby.
Great help in choosing a garden is provided by the reviews of parents who gave their son or daughter there for a full day. Statements should definitely be read, this will give an idea of the quality of services.

Child Care Provider Philosophy
We believe that infants and young develop and thrive best when they are given a nurturing, loving, and responsive environment. An environment that is committed to children and supports a variety of learning opportunities where children are free to explore. We strive to create meaningful experiences for children that will help develop thier cognitive,Language, physical and socio-emotional development. Infant and young toddlers have not yet mastered their communcation skills. making it a number priorty forus to ensure a program that develops trust and security.By providing these,children become secure and competent in thier journey towards independence as they gain knowledge about thier worlds.
We understand that children develop at differently and therefore, we provide a curriculum that is based on each child’s individual needs. Infants and young toddlers learn through palt and everything they do is a learning process. Our role is to be an assistrant of this learning process, thus we offer an environment rich in challenging and age-appropriate activties.The childewn will be taught through play, music,interactions with adults and others children,and reading time.Everyday will include playtime,talking time,and outside time (weather premitting).
We believe that this age group learns when actively engaged with all aspects of thier environment: teachers,peers materials, etc. Children also learn best when exploring topics that are their families. This consistency in routine,will help the children gain a sense of care to the children andindependence within thier day. We believe that young children need to develop trusting and caring relationships with caregivers in order to feel safe and secure in their environment.
Children are provived with a variety of choices within the learning environment with teachers serving as facilitators,participants,and observers.The daily routine remains consistent although flexibility is incorporated as the children demonstrate changing needs.With consistent limits and behaviors and situation.There is variety of material to support and challenge the children’s ability. We intend to share the choice of children’s course of learning, by following the lead of children when presenting them with new topics and information. A collaborative relationship is developed between teachers and parents to ensure continuity between home and school.
We believe that children learn by doing. Interacting with thier environment is critical to the exploration and discovery of the world around them. Children by nature are curious about their environment and engage in problems solving in a variety of ways: asking questions, trials and error and experimenting with world around them. We believe that when chilren’s natural foundation of curiosity and inquiry are supported through opportunities through a learning experience, new information is generated and discovered.Children learn from the physical environment surrounding them as well as peers and adults with whom they interavt.We are here to provide a safe.loving nurtuing and rich environment where children explore,grow and learn.Throughout their time in the classroom,much attention will be focused on the development of social/emotional skills, self-help skills,cognitive/language skills,fine motor skills and gorss motor skills.Our program is designed to provide children a variety of opportunities to work independently and in groups.When disagreements emerge we encourage them to problem solve together and guide them through the process. Since routines and consistency are important to preschooler, a schedule is providied so chilren can predict the next day.
We are going to provide a unique before-and after-school learning experience to keep the school-ager motivated and focused in a fun and stimulating environment. The before-and after-school program was developed to meet the growing educational needs of the children.They get to spend time with friends and enjoy activities that are relevant to school-age interests.Our school-age program also aligns with school calendaars to provide a fun-filled and educational offering during holidays, teacher in-service day and other breaks.

90,000 5 Marvel movies coming out in 2023 90,001 90,002 Goodbyes, many new villains, and even more new Spiders – this is how you can describe the new year for Marvel.
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantum Mania
World Premiere: February 17
Finally something new from Marvel Studios looks very promising: following the last few projects in an uncertain direction, the universe finally got a villain of the caliber of Thanos, which means and a new course. It’s high time – “Quantomania” marks the beginning of a new, fifth phase of the franchise, which, with any luck, will pull the MCU out of the quagmire in which it was driven. nine0003
The film is still directed by Peyton Reed and written by Rick and Morty co-writer Jeff Loveness. Eight years after the release of Ant-Man and the endless discussions of the quantum dimension, viewers will finally be transported there, along with the Pyms and Langs. It turns out that this is not just an endless desert, but a whole city, moreover, technically advanced, and Kang the Conqueror plays an important role in it. According to a plot leaked to the network in the fall, Janet van Dyne and Kang had disagreements in the past, to put it mildly, and now he intends to take revenge on her by capturing her home universe. nine0003
Believe it or not, decide for yourself, but this movie is definitely worth the wait, if only for Kang, a rare MCU charming and, more importantly, not mediocre villain. It’s not for nothing that Jonathan Majors stole fan hearts in a matter of minutes of his screen time in Loki.
Guardians of the Galaxy – 3
World Premiere: May 5
The latest adventure of the Guardians of the Galaxy should be a swan song not only for this team as we know it, but also for James Gunn – the director, alas, say goodbye to the MCU. This is one of the reasons why the Guardians of the Galaxy triquel is set to turn out to be one of the most touching and heartfelt films not only in the new phase, but in the entire MCU, because everything will converge here: Gunn’s departure, farewell to the original Guardians and already the promised death of one of the main characters. And while the new film will feature two promising characters – the highly anticipated 2017 Adam Warlock and the High Evolutionary – we’ll still need to stock up on handkerchiefs to wipe away a single tear. The plot of the new “Guardians” is still not really known, except for some details: the triquel will finally address Rocket’s past, and Gamora will return as the leader of the Ravagers. More importantly, for the first time in the history of this franchise, one of its films will not exist, as it were, apart from the MCU, but will become the flagship of its future in outer space. nine0003
Spider-Man: Web of Universes
World Premiere: June 2,
Some five years – and here we are waiting for the continuation of the story of Miles Morales in the endless universes of endless variations of Spider-Man. This franchise, of course, has nothing to do with the MCU, and Marvel Studios did not have a hand in it – it’s all a Sony creation – but who knows how the future will turn out: the red tape with the multiverse continues, and there are rumors that in this animated franchise the holy trinity of Tom Holland, Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire may shine in one form or another. nine0003
It may be a little mean to share such speculations, but what else is left when there is practically no specifics about the film? It is only known that this time the action will unfold in the universe of Gwen, and not Miles, the main villain will be the Spot, which will be voiced by Jason Schwartzman, and alternative versions of Spider will join the cast: Spider-Man 2099 (Oscar Isaac), Spider-Woman (Issa Rae) ) and Spider-Punk (Daniel Kaluuya). Initially, the studio planned to just make a sequel, but later decided to split it into two films, so you can immediately start waiting for a triquel, scheduled for 2024. nine0003
Marvels
World premiere: July 28
Marvels is unusual in that it will be the first example of an MCU project becoming a sequel to both a feature-length film and a TV series – it will be both a continuation of Captain Marvel, Ms. and Wanda/Vision. The reins of power in this film will be taken by three heroines: Carol Danvers, Kamala Khan and Monica Rambeau. In truth, the combination may not be the best, given some of the dislike of fans for the first and the coldness with which they perceived the series about the second. nine0003
It’s only a matter of time before Marvel Studios manages to tie together three parts of the MCU, although with the team hired by Marvel Studios, the film has every chance of at least not losing face: wrote Marvel, who worked on Wanda Vision by Megan McDonnell and directed by Nia DaCosta, best known for Candman. Otherwise, nothing is known about the film, except that the old-timer Nick Fury will return to the screens, and Zavi Ashton will appear in an as yet unknown villainous role. nine0003
Kraven the Hunter
World Premiere: October 6,
Incredibly little is known about Marvel’s latest movie premiere in 2023, although the project is already in post-production: it will release in October, focusing on Spider-Man’s enemy Kraven the Hunter and will be played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson. And this villain was at different times snapped up by a variety of directors and screenwriters.
Sam Raimi first started talking about his appearance, when there was still hope for a fourth Spider-Man movie with Tobey Maguire. Then Ryan Coogler wanted to introduce Craven to Black Panther until he found out that Marvel Studios did not have the rights to the character. The director of the Spider-Man trilogy with Tom Holland, Jon Watts, suggested that the studio make him a key character in the triquel, but this idea was preferred to the multiverse option. And now, five years after Sony hired the first screenwriter of the film – Richard Wenk (“The Mechanic”, “The Great Equalizer”) – he still gets to theaters. nine0003
How Taylor-Johnson decided to step back into superhero territory after Marvel Studios mishandled his Quicksilver, who knows. Maybe the point is in the villainous role, or maybe the fact that in the solo album he will not have to share the screen with the heroes who have already fallen in love with everyone.

Extraordinary Swim Fun
July 2017 • Family Fun
We took 4 teenage girls who had never really enjoyed these activities before. The first few times they wiped out, but by the end of their 1 hour session they understood it and were able to ride it much better. About 16 kids in our class which was a bit of a bummer because they had to wait a long time between turns. Food offerings are very limited, but if you want pizza then you can. Good entertainment to try at least once.

The kids had a great time!
June 2017 • Family fun
My husband and I took our 5 kids (for ages ranging between 3 and 15) to SurfXtreme for a 1 hour jump session on Saturday night. They have a summer special, 1/2 off the jump on Saturdays, so it only cost us $24 for all 5 of them. I assumed it would be very crowded on a Saturday night but to my surprise our kids had the entire trampoline area to themselves most of the time. After an hour they were very tired and completely enjoyed themselves. The staff was very kind and helpful. The facilities were clean and well maintained. We will definitely return, because. for a lot of activities. All children are very happy to try indoor surf. Another impressive aspect for me was the food/drinks. I bought the guys each pink lemonade and they were only $2 a piece with which is nice crushed ice AND free refills. Usually, in amusement parks and attractions for children, food and drinks for our family alone will drain our wallets. Therefore, we went out there with 5 devastated and happy kids only spending $34. It was a wonderful experience.

Interesting for teenagers and teenagers
March 2017 • For two
We have been here several times. If it’s not crowded, the kids get to have a good amount of time on the water. The staff is helpful and the kids seem to pick it up pretty quickly. However, don’t expect to be a breeze your first time. It’s very loud – the car runs non-stop to keep the water flowing, so expect it. You can sit outside the surf area and see the surf – if you are sensitive to chlorine this is a good option for you. You won’t get great photos – when the kids fall, that’s fast. The trampolines are a hit – a great way to help them burn off that last bit of energy. We’ve had parties here and the rooms are big and clean. The staff is nice about helping but sometimes they are busy and you have to get help refillers. We’re pretty informal about our groups so that was good for us. It’s surfing, ‘dude’, so you must have that mindset – just chilling’.

This place is amazing. I have a 13 year old grandson who absolutely loves it. When ever I’m in Elk Grove visiting it has become our special thing to do. We have been going there for several years now. He is a very active boy and this gives him an outlet for some of his excess energy and gets him off the video games. Interesting for beginners and advanced surfers. And of course he loves showing off for my camera.

I took my Godson and whatever friend he wants to bring with me. They love it and it teaches them separation. One child must wait for his/her turn to sit in. I usually get a coupon to save $.

Surf best indoors with hot water
Oct. 2016 • With friends
This is the next best thing to Hawaii’s warm water surfing. The wave is constant, the water is heating and there are no tiger sharks or fears of cleaning up against the reef! The staff is friendly and helpful. When you miss the scarecrow ride and want to stop on the surfboards, the staff will help take you with a rope. The best times to go are at or near closing time for lunch so you get more time at the Wave Hotel and there are fewer people there. They have food and other activities there and are kid friendly so the whole family can spend a couple of hours. Call ahead to reserve a spot at the Wave Hotel or see how busy it is. You can also book paintball, trampoline or other activities. Pretty awesome place.

My 14 year old loves to swim in Extraordinary. She and her friends always had a great time. Newby was nervous at first, but gets the hang of it very quickly.

Excellent holiday for adults and children. I had my son’s eleventh birthday here and it was great. Try to get Groupon for that, it helps a lot.

Alum: Coming from the far south side of Chicago, attending Jones College Prep was a unique experience for me. I met people of various backgrounds, which opened my mind to different perspectives. To get to school, I took public transportation, allowing me to explore the city for all its diverse neighborhoods. I was able to see demographic changes and injustices on the train ride to school. It made me interested in gaining knowledge on the inequity within the city. I got to bring those ideas to school and write about them, and people listened. New ideas were welcomed and embraced and that’s something I liked about going to Jones. Having come from different neighborhoods, it was expected that everyone would come with biases and prejudices. And they did. Ideals and values were challenged in a variety of ways, whether that be by microaggressions, racial slurs, or stereotyping. Although the school addressed some of these issues, Jones could do a better job at creating safer spaces for POC…. Read 728 reviews

Sophomore: I am a sophomore at OPRF High School and with the time I’ve been here, things have been pretty good overall.
The teachers and students are overall helpful and friendly, despite the occasional teacher who could answer their emails more often or be more understanding of all the things the students have to do (there aren’t many of them). The school has so many options for kids to get involve and meet other people which I really appreciate and like.
They have handeld Covid in an okay way, although i think hybrid could’ve been done better. By this I mean they couldv’e given more in person days as right now its only 2 days every 6 days. However, I think they mostly have done what they can provided the situation and the size of our school.

This school is very diverse as there are many races, ethnicities, and identities. There are no boundaries to someone’s belief. Our school is very determined to get the best grades possible. Our school is united despite all the hardships and disagreements. My school is made of achievers. The students make it their chance to see the best them in their academic careers. My school is made up of students that are adaptable. It was a new school for all the students as it starts junior year. We have all gotten used to the rigorous courses and schedules.

There’s something for everyone like art and chess club. Pritzker also has a great band program and offers Russian. Our teachers really prepare us for college by helping us with the personal statements and offering SAT prep classes. I really liked the old uniform policy.

Senior: Uniform really does help if you really don’t want to keep on deciding what to wear each weekday. But also the teachers are great especially the opportunities that we have. For example we have summer of a lifetime program and in that program our counselors help us with finding what major we are interested and finds us the best fit for us. And once we find a college, we can even go out of the state to experience of being responsible. Including the benefit to start internships at our senior year in the career and environment we want to work in. The school is also very understanding about the students who need to go to work. And we have after school hours, and the teachers use their time to help us if we are behind and or would like to improve our grades with assignments that they give us…. Read 52 reviews

Senior: My experience at MCP has been very good and it went by so fast. A lot of people think that Noble charter schools are strict but speaking from experience, theyŕe no different than any other high school. Our school is very diverse in the faculty as well as the students. Students come from just about every zip code in the entire city of Chicago. Muchin doesn´t allow you to just be lazy. They support you academically and in any way they can to help you succeed. Muchin gives progress reports every 2 weeks. Parents can know how their kid is doing in their classes. If you don´t do your homework you´re required to stay after school to get it done. Thatś a great way to ensure that students actually get their homework done like theyŕe supposed to and it helps them stay on track. One of the last things that I like the most about Muchin is that the school is downtown. We have access to the best food, shopping, and culture that people come from all over the world to see. We see it everyday!… Read 56 reviews

Senior: The UIC College Prep (UICCP) experience will remain pleasant and unforgettable. However, movie high school expectations were quite different. The dream of wearing various clothes caved to tight uniform rules. Nevertheless, making friends was not as difficult, especially on the first day! The school has many extracurricular activities. While I failed at basketball, I excelled in choir and ROTC!
Engagement in activities and clubs created channels to unique experiences I would not have gotten elsewhere. The teachers genuinely care about the students’ future. They prepared students for life, which explains the tremendous amount of homework and quizzes.
Thanks to our college counselors for preparing and supporting each senior through the college application process. Indeed, UICCP lives to its mission by instilling discipline, building unique characters, and raising law-abiding youth. Indeed, learning is persistent and deliberate, and success is intentional, strenuous, and yet achievable!… Read 56 reviews

Senior: For the majority of my time at Golder College Prep, things have been pretty rigorous, but office hours can help anything. This school network has a history of ridiculously strict rules, but they changed that. Unfortunately, they have been too lenient at the wrong time- right when students are allowed to learn in-person. Kids have forgotten to be students, and the teachers, staff, and upperclassmen are miserable with rude and disrespectful, and bigoted underclassmen. When school fights used to happen twice a year, they now happen twice a week. Parents are infuriated because this is not the school they put their kids in: safe, supportive, and protected. I wish that by the time my final year as a senior ends, schools across the nation will solve this issue of pretentious 9th and 10th graders. I, as well as the other seniors and staff, do not deserve to be in such an unsafe environment with these kids…. Read 33 reviews

Parent: We love Ancona. From the teachers, counselors, to administrators they all care about children. The WHOLE child, the mind, body, and spirit is cared for by this community. They build character and instill lessons that last. The parent community is amazing and you can be as involved as you want or have the time to be. The Montessori classrooms are full of beauty and the outdoor education is second to none. With green space in the middle of the city, how can you not love this place? Chickens, (maybe goats soon), fruits and vegetables, growing and learning how to make healthy life decisions. We’ve been there for 4 years and are happy with our decision to send our child there. Excellent education and positive life lessons. Learning can and should be fun! My daughter loves her classmates, teachers, and can’t wait to go to school. Spanish, music, outdoor learning, library, creative movement, gym, art…I could go on forever. She’s only in 1st grade! Check it out!… Read 23 reviews

Oak – Veteran
“. .. I was at a meeting in the Federation Council, our oak is included in the register (this is already wonderful and prestigious), everything goes to the fact that this year it will officially become a monument tree.” A letter from the capital from an old friend and colleague pleased and inspired optimism.
Aleksey Antsiferov – a graduate of the Faculty of Biology of the Michurinsk State Pedagogical Institute, Candidate of Agricultural Sciences, and now an expert at the Moscow Center for Wood Expertise. The organization is professionally engaged in the care and treatment of trees using modern innovative technologies. And also, together with the Federation Council, the Moscow State Forest University and the Interregional Public Organization for Promoting the Preservation of the Natural Heritage of the Regions “Natural Heritage of the Nation” with the participation of Russian regions, implements the All-Russian program “Trees – monuments of nature” in order to preserve old-growth trees in our country as one of important natural values.
In order to recognize a tree as a monument of wildlife, submitted applications are considered by a special certification commission, which includes well-known public and political figures of Russia (including TV presenter Nikolai Drozdov, female cosmonaut, Hero of Russia Elena Kondakova and others).
Trees live much longer than humans. Behind an impressive age, there are sometimes bright historical events. The forest fund of the Tambov region is rich in unique estates of large landowners (Pashkovs, Gagarins, Naryshkins, Vorontsovo-Dashkovs), almost each of which once had a park with alleys and exotic plants. The place of “constant attraction”, “the best summer residence” of P.I. Tchaikovsky, according to the composer himself, was the Shilovsky Usovo estate (Bondarsky district).
Visitors to the House-Museum of I.V. Michurin, as a rule, pay attention to the majestic powerful pedunculate oak on its territory. And indeed, in all respects, it meets the criteria of a wildlife monument: it has reached a rather respectable age, is related to a historical person and grows in a symbolic place.
When buying a new plot in 1899, Ivan Vladimirovich Michurin kept the then young tree, under the canopy of which he spent time after working in the garden. Today, this tree is surrounded by the garden of the great breeder, represented by his varieties, some trees were planted by Ivan Vladimirovich himself and his students. Now the old-growth English oak has aesthetic, scientific, biological, historical and cultural value.
In 2011, Alexei Antsiferov proposed to the director of the House-Museum L.V. Volokitina to make an application for this oak from our city. And at the end of April 2013, Alexey, as an expert of the Healthy Forest NSA, came to Michurinsk to examine a historical tree that was included in the register of old-growth trees in Russia. Within a few hours, a complete visual and instrumental diagnostics was carried out, the condition of the foliage was assessed for the presence of specific diseases and pests, geographical data on the place of growth were clarified.
As already noted, to diagnose the internal state, specialists use innovative technologies that correspond to modern realities. Ultra-sensitive German devices Resistograph and Arbotom allow you to diagnose hidden stem rot without sawing. With the help of the Pressler drill, stem core samples were taken, and the exact age of the unique tree was determined in the dendrological laboratory of the Moscow State University of Forests. Three-dimensional (3D) spatial tomography is also possible with the help of the Arbotom device. Together with the Arboradix module, the system is able to study and detect damage to the root system, allowing you to accurately assess the condition and viability of woody vegetation, and find potentially dangerous trees.
Lintab and Lignostation devices help in identifying the need for watering and making recommendations on the intensity and timing of watering, evaluating the effectiveness of care measures, determining the timing of tree death, examining the legality of logging, and dendrochronological studies. Scientists agreed that our Michurin oak is quite healthy, except that it needs pruning and loosening.
At the second stage of the Program, the certification commission re-examines the application for giving the tree the status of a monument of wildlife and, based on the combination of signs, including the results of the instrumental dendrochronological examination, assigns the status “Tree – a monument of wildlife” to the mighty giant.
In mid-September, a parliamentary delegation from the Council for the Preservation of the Nation’s Natural Heritage visited the Tambov Region. At a meeting in the regional center, issues of nature protection in the Tambov region were discussed. The administration of the city of Michurinsk was presented with a certificate of awarding the “Michurin Oak” the status “Tree – a monument of wildlife.” On the territory of the House-Museum of I.V. Michurin, the official grand opening of the historical tree-monument took place. The event was attended by representatives of the Department for Environmental Protection and Nature Management of the Tambov Region, the Department of Culture, district leaders, museum workers, management and students of MichGAU, teachers and students of schools, and members of the public. The Michurin Oak has an information plate with a detailed description of the tree.
It is noteworthy that the historical Michurin oak acquired its status in 2013, declared in Russia by the Decree of President V.V. Putin in order to attract public attention to wildlife conservation issues with the Year of Environmental Protection, and the city itself recently celebrated its 10th anniversary as a science city of the Russian Federation. As a result of the visit of the members of the Council, an agreement was signed on the development of activities aimed at preserving the natural heritage of the Tambov region.

Last month I had to travel frequently to the Kaplan hospital. Sometimes I left the car not far from a pretty park, fenced with a side. One particularly sad day I decided to read
Alon Park. And on the side, in small letters: im. Alon Yablokovich 1975 – 1997
The following is a list of organizations and various people involved in the creation of the park, including family and friends. Below in small letters is the name of the landscape architect – Yigal Steinmets.
A story about Alon Yablokovich. Alon was born on June 19, 1975. Parents – Eti and Yehuda, brothers – Doron and Amir. He graduated from school, specializing in biochemistry, worked at the Kaplan hospital, led excursions. Started military service in 1993 as a military paramedic. He served in Gaza and Lebanon. While serving in Lebanon, he received the title of “Hero of Israel” for helping the wounded under fire, saving lives and organizing the evacuation of the wounded from the battlefield. In 1997 he moved to the security service. He was the coordinator of operations in Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria. During one of the operations in the Hebron area was seriously wounded. He died from his wounds on December 23, 1997. He was only 22 years old… Here are the links to the story about Alon in Hebrew: http://www.izkor.gov.il/HalalKorot.aspx?id=515104 http://www.shabak.gov.il/memorial/names/pages/048.aspx “databases. All the Yablokovichi who caught my eye turned out to be from Brest.
And another copper plate. On it are the lyrics to the song “Two Oaks” by Nathan Jonathan. (play on words: Alon translates as oak) You can listen to the song on this link: http://www. zemereshet.co.il/FlashPlayer/player.asp?version_id=4237 Isn’t it a familiar melody? It turned out that Nathan Jonathan re..said in 1958. song “Thin Rowan”. But instead of rowan and oak, the song was about two oak brothers. In the seventies Gidi Koren changed the melody of the song. The new version was performed by the “Brothers and Sisters” ensemble. The song suddenly became popular.
Maybe it was Alon’s favorite song, or maybe it reminded his brothers and friends of him. One way or another, it turned out to be the epigraph of the park.
This is the story of a random parking lot.

Teaching Toddlers: Early Learning and Development for 2-3-Year-Olds
November 4th, 2019
Developmental milestones for toddlers and preschoolers and how to help your child reach them.
The toddler years are a critical time in learning for your child. As children begin to walk, talk, and explore, it is up to parents to provide the right tools and activities to help them grow.
Babies transition to toddlers at around 24 months old, after moving from crawling to walking (or “toddling”). At one-year-old, most children say their first words and begin pointing and using hand movements. From here on, your child will continue to learn more and more words (including some we would rather them NOT learn!) Their vocabulary will typically increase slowly during the first six months, then rapidly the following six. By this time your child’s vocabulary will have increased from one or two words to fifty or more. After this two-year-old developmental milestone, your child will begin to create simple sentences. They will also be able to follow simple two-step commands like, “Pick up your toy and put it away.” (Just a heads up, just because they CAN doesn’t mean they WILL. That might take some work.)
Children at this age understand more than they can express, which can lead to frustration and tantrums. If you see a tantrum brewing, try to distract your toddler with a book or toy. When teaching your child a new task or skill, try to find time when they are well fed and rested. A tired or hungry toddler is more likely to get frustrated and lash out.
As hand-eye coordination and manual dexterity increases, your child will begin to explore their surroundings and toys more closely. Safety becomes even more important as your child becomes more mobile and begins exploring your home. Make sure to childproof your home to prevent accidents. As your child becomes more curious and begins to explore, supply them with age appropriate toys. These toys should allow mastery of a skill before more complicated toys and tasks are given.
As toddlers grow, they become aware of what objects are used for and will begin to play accordingly. The concept of pretend play also begins. Your child will begin to use their toys imaginatively and invent creative play scenarios. Toddlers who are in daycare or are around other children may now go on playdates. Do not expect your child to play cooperatively at first. As a parent, you will have to teach them concepts such as taking turns, sharing, and nonviolence. In these situations, older siblings can be good role models in how to behave.
As toddlers become more independent they will want the freedom to explore. But after this, they will often come running back to you for comfort and reassurance. Allow the space for them to explore, while also making yourself available for support and comfort. Sometimes, your toddler might cry and cling to you when you try to leave. This is called separation anxiety and typically starts around nine months of age but can begin later. Separation anxiety begins to subside as your child develops social and language skills to cope with unknown scenarios. As they grow, your child will learn that their separation from you is only temporary.
Once your toddler begins walking, talking, and exploring the world around them, they will begin to learn and absorb information quickly. As a parent, there are things you can do to facilitate this learning. Allow your child chances to explore in a safe environment. Play engaging games with your child like peekaboo and pat-a-cake. Children often mimic behaviors of adults and are fascinated by things as simple as everyday housework. You can provide your child with age appropriate toys that will help with this such as a kitchenette or toy vacuum.
Other toys toddlers may enjoy include:
Simple puzzles
Brightly colored balls
Fat crayons or markers
Stacking or nesting toys like blocks to build towers
Toy animals and people
Pull, push, and riding toys
Peg boards and shape sorters to sort shapes and colors
Toy cars and trains
Additional activities and skills to improve your child’s learning include:
Organization – Encourage your child to put things back into their place, keeping their space organized
Empathy – Children who receive empathy from adults, develop the skill much earlier than those who don’t.
Encourage takings turns. Ownership should be secure before children can become comfortable sharing. Help your child wait for their turn and intervene if your child routinely begins grabbing at other children’s toys.
Teach assertiveness – Allow your child to develop their voice. Encourage them to voice their wants and opinions in a respectful manner.
Label emotions – Their own as well as the emotions of others. Recognizing others’ emotions is an important aspect of empathy and social interaction.
Praise your child and let them know why so they can feel good about themselves, instead of just seeking the validation.
Read – Reading to your child continues to be important as they can follow along with the stories. Be sure to point at the pictures as you read to help your child make connections. Encourage your child to name objects that they know. Afterwards, ask your child questions about the story.
Talk to your child about daily events or other topics to encourage language development.
Keep in mind that all toddlers develop at different rates. If you have concerns, consult your doctor or a specialist.

older toddlers – 2-year-olds turning 3
a Place for curiosity to flourish
The staff in the Chipmunk Room will focus on language development. Children will work on developing vocabulary; talking in sentences; asking open-ended questions; and giving the children language to reflect what is happening in their lives. Each child is encouraged to express their feelings as well as begin using manners, such as “please” and “thank you.” Independence is another goal of the Chipmunk Room, which is developed in a positive way through increased self-esteem and security in their environment. The first stages of social skills are learned as the children begin their move from parallel play to interactive play. They are encouraged to be kind toward others, while defending themselves without using physical means. Potty-training skills also are being developed by each child at his or her own pace. We use the Creative Curriculum as the framework for our education plan, as well as on-going assessment of the children to provide what they need individually.

what other parents are saying
“Our family has been part of TLC-ELC since 2015 and we couldn’t be happier. Our oldest child started in the infant room, and we now have our second child in the toddler room. We have known every single teacher there since we started, and they have all known our children by name since we have been there. I know many of my friends can’t say the same thing for the centers their children attend – turnover is low, tenure among the staff is significant, and that has been such an important factor for us to know that our child is part of a “family”. Classroom curriculum is intently designed for each age group and there is a really healthy balance of structure and play. Now having my oldest in the pre-K room, I have realized how advanced the educational value has been along the way. Having your family attend TLC-ELC also allows you to join a bigger community. From summer picnics to Thanksgiving lunches with grandparents, to other get-togethers throughout the year, it provides opportunities to connect with other families. We truly feel like family here and truly feel like our child is loved. And at the end of the day, as a parent, that is the absolute most important part of a child care center. We feel so blessed to be part of TLC-ELC.”

Early child development – where are the boundaries of the reasonable? | Education
Therefore, I would like to add notes of reason to good parental intentions for early development (all these experiments with early education, as a rule, fall on the head of the first-born young ambitious mothers, less often the initiative comes from dads) and talk about the basics of child psychology and physiology, to get an answer to the question of “when to start. ”
nine0003
Let’s start with a parent’s favorite activity – learning to read. Of course, the picture is touching (for a non-specialist) when a 1.5-2-year-old baby reproduces the alphabet. However, everything has its time. A child is ready to learn to read when he or she begins to speak clearly . That is, most teachers are right (and Nikitin, and Zaitsev, and many other authors) – it makes sense to start teaching reading no earlier than 3 years. This is on average. There are children who have a well-developed speech already at a little over a year and are able to read by the age of two – but there are very, very few of them, most children “ripe” by 3, and some only by 4 years. To clarify: to start learning means to start learning letters. The child will still read much later.
nine0003
Indeed, before the child develops the ability to think abstractly, he may well memorize both letters and words, but this is just photographic memory, not conscious understanding. After all, physiologically, the baby is not yet able to think abstractly for up to three years and understand that this little thing means A, this one means B … These are the features of the development of the human brain, and no matter what the parents’ ambitions are, you will not jump “above the head” of the child. After all, we do not teach a child to walk immediately after birth, realizing that the body is not ready. Why is there no such understanding regarding the development of the abilities of the psyche and intellect?
Photo: Depositphotos
A child who learns to read before the age of 3 and one who learns after this age do it fundamentally differently. In the first case – due to memory, in the second – due to abstract thinking. But not all children by nature are given the opportunity to learn to read at an early age. And if parents are too tight, you can get the opposite result – an aversion to reading and learning in general.
nine0003
And most importantly: yes, you can learn to read at 1.5-2 years old (if the child has developed speech) – but what is the goal? What will it practically give? Flattering parental vanity? Or will a child at 2 years old begin to read avidly? Before 4-5 years, this will still not happen – again, due to the peculiarities of the development of the child’s psyche.
On the other hand, after 6 it is also too late: it is a proven fact that it is much more difficult for a child of 7-8 years to learn to read than for a 5-6 year old. Therefore, it is not in vain that modern schools require from those entering the first grade at least reading by syllables.
nine0003
So the interval is clear, I hope. And there is no need to rush … Just enjoy communicating with your child. Will you really love him less if he does not learn the letters in a year and a half?
Many parents motivate their attempts to teach reading from the cradle by the fact that, they say, the child himself is interested in poking letters with his finger. But do not decide for the child what exactly he is interested in! At the age of one and a half, a child points his finger at everything, he is interested in EVERYTHING! But if it points to a microscope or a telescope, we do not rush to explain microbiology or astronomy to it. And if there are letters, then we immediately put them in the alphabet. Paradox. As if it is easier (in the understanding of a child of a year with a little – the same).
Photo: Depositphotos
It is not so much early development that matters, but timely development. Age appropriate. And it should be remembered that all children have different age characteristics of development. And if a neighbor girl reads at 2 years old, it makes no sense to worry that your child at 2.5-3 even speaks with difficulty – they just have different rates of development. As well as for the parents of such a girl, this is no reason to look down on less “advanced” kids. For a child who spoke early (in a little over a year), learning to read at 2-3 years old will not be too early (although it is not a fact that he will be interested in it). For a child who spoke at 3, this is not just early, it is premature and ineffective.

And the whole point here is precisely in priorities: if at the forefront is “to teach”, to develop the skill of reading, these are the ambitions of parents and nothing more. If the emphasis is on encouraging the child to learn, the development of cognitive activity is a constructive approach worthy of respect.
For me, there is a huge difference in who the cognitive initiative comes from: from the child himself, or from the parents. If the baby wants to learn to read or count is himself, if he even counts the candies in the box, then this is his interest. If mother a year with a penny makes him sit down at the ABC – this is her initiative.
Do not do everything for the child, leave him a chance to live life according to his own scenario, and not according to the parents imposed. The child himself has the right to choose what and when to pay attention.

Let me draw an analogy with school age: “physics” has nothing to do in a specialized class for “humanities”, as well as vice versa. But how to understand in the first grade what is closer to him? It’s the same way to teach letters a year – and if it’s more interesting for him to draw? (At the same time, motor skills will develop, again, he will speak faster). Or is he categorically not a humanist at all? Children are different. So, one more important point – early development should be in accordance with the natural inclinations of the child. nine0007
As for readiness for writing, I can say that all conscientious experts (especially those who are not financially interested in the “development” of your child) recommend not to teach a child to write until the age of 7 (maximum printed letters), but, as they say, “cook hand to the letter “: in a playful way, learn to draw elements that will later be useful for writing letters. If the parents are not teachers of the appropriate profile, teaching writing is better and not starting, since it is much more difficult to re-teach than to teach.
nine0003
The difference is that preparing a pen for writing is one thing, but learning to write is quite another. And before 6 years old – early. The muscles and structure of the hand are not yet ready, and it is by the age of 7 that the physiological base is fully formed: the child’s hand before this age is simply not ready for this kind of load. As a child is not ready to sit at 3 months or walk at six months.

When drawing and writing in written letters, various groups of muscles of the hand are involved. If you noticed, even a child masters drawing in “stages” – at a very young age they draw “from the shoulder”, later – “from the elbow”, with sweeping movements, best of all – in large spaces. That is why our children love to draw on the walls so much – for them it is so is the most convenient (by the way, it’s easy to wean: buy a children’s easel or hang large sheets on the walls, allowing you to draw only there).
Then more precise movements come, but still, until the age of 6-7, the child draws not with his fingers, but with the whole brush. Therefore, yes, many children can write block letters, but written letters are a completely different technique. In addition, writing requires full development of all muscles of the hand, and also the ability to correctly navigate in the graphic space. The more the kid was engaged in modeling, cutting, coloring, the easier it will be for him to learn to write. And teachers (normal teachers) fight not for the beauty of handwriting, but for the ease of learning to write in one piece – these are different things.
So, dear mothers and dear fathers, a memo for parents: in the complex and responsible task of education, there can be no reference points to “norms” and even more so – to the achievements of other people’s children. Focus only on your child: his desires, his inclinations and preferences should lead you in this sea, and not your own ambitions. Good luck!

How are the classes
nine0136 A strong foundation for the future child!
Polyglot Language Center Network has developed a special program for kids 1-2 years old! Of course, children at this age are very vulnerable and attached to their parents, so they participate in activities with the help of their mothers. The training program is thought out in such a way that it involves all the mechanisms of the development of the baby. Classes contribute to the development and improvement of speech skills, hand motility, sensory perception, imitation, design.
This is the foundation for the future successful activities of children! nine0003

“A child absorbs everything like a sponge.” This expression is more than a dozen years old. If we look far back, we see that even uneducated peasants knew this truth. Today, the human brain has already been sufficiently studied, and we can understand quite specific reasons for this.
The brain of a small child is a unique phenomenon. Scientists have long proven the fact that babies from birth to 6 years old perceive and remember any kind of information best.
Adults often underestimate the abilities of children, but the child begins to understand us even before he learns to speak! Psychologists recommend talking more with newborns for the reason that during the first year of life, an infant is able to recognize and memorize more than 70 words.
Live communication strengthens the neural connections in the baby’s head, which in this period of time are twice as many as in adults. By the age of two, their number exceeds a hundred trillion, which is the maximum for the entire period of human life. nine0003
That is why it is very important not to miss this fruitful period and actively use it for developing activities.
In the process of learning from children …
Improves fine and gross motor skills
The child gets to know his body and learns to control it. Gradually, he can roll over, bend over, crawl and walk. Now he is able to move some objects by grabbing and holding them. Toys, drawing pencils, buttons and more. nine0003
Coordination of movements, accuracy and eye develop.
The child moves deftly and confidently, he develops correct posture from an early age.
Sensory perception is formed
The child learns to perceive the world around him and individual objects, forms an idea of their color, shape, size, tactile properties. Develops mental activity, thinking and observation.
The skill of imitation improves
The child repeats the roles of other people, due to which he becomes more sociable, social and starts demonstrating new skills early. nine0003
The skill of designing, logic is developed
The child learns to “create” his own world. Constructive activity has a huge impact on mental processes and mental abilities. As a result, the child easily masters new knowledge, skills and abilities, learning about the world around him and expanding his horizons.
Why is early development necessary?
The contact of parents with a child is an indispensable part of life. Joint games and activities bring parents and baby together more than anything else. It is for this reason that mothers or fathers are not only present at the lessons, but also actively participate and help the baby complete tasks. One of the significant results of such classes is strong and trusting relationships in the family, a sense of support and the formation of a healthy psyche in the child. nine0069
The child acquires communication skills in a team, which will ensure that there are no problems with communication. He can easily find a common language with his peers.
In your classes at the network of Polyglot Centers, you are laying the foundation for further development, because soon the child will have to go to kindergarten. Our developmental classes are not training in the usual sense, but only preparation for it, but very important. In the process, children develop basic skills and abilities with which further activities in the kindergarten or school will be much easier for him. nine0069
A child learns all spheres of the surrounding world and develops comprehensively from an early age. In our classes, we quickly achieve high results, because they are held in a playful way. The child does not get tired, does not overwork and visits the center with pleasure!
A child who is developed from birth will be more diligent and concentrated. Classes for kids gradually form important qualities. This happens not through coercion, but through the game. At a more conscious age, the laid “seed” develops into a good habit. nine0069
The baby’s talents are revealed from the first years of life. In the classroom within the framework of our course, teachers can easily identify the child’s abilities. This helps to build a strategy for further education in advance, choose the right section, school, circle and even a profession.

The Practically Perfect Baby – Drowning in Drool?The Practically Perfect Baby
Are you drowning in your baby’s drool? Odds are the answer is an omg-yes! Why? Because he lacks developed mouth-muscle control, so when your baby begins teething, he’s going to begin to drool non-stop. The good news is you can help him acquire this skill faster and of course we’ve got a few tips for you to help your baby exercise his oral muscles now. That way he can gain a little bit of control over this very slobbery, two-year ordeal AND stay dry (or at least somewhat drier than he would otherwise).
PPB Drooling Survival 101:
1. Use a waterproof-lined biball the time.
You will find that you must permanently adorn a bib to your baby to catch the never-ending droolfest and waterproof-lined bibs are your very best option for this. Just try to remember to take it off for the occasional picture, otherwise you’ll never record all the cute outfits your baby was actually ever wearing underneath. And here’s a cute option for going out: coordinate his outfit with a very hip bandana bib.
Caution: remember to always take off any bib when your baby sleeps to prevent strangulation.
2. Reduce his pacifier time.
Pacifiers promote sucking but not really swallowing. So you don’t want to do away with his pacifier-use altogether– just use it when it’s absolutely necessary to calm him down or to help him fall asleep.
3. Use a children’s electric toothbrush.
This is a popular technique to engage children with oral sensations, in the hope that they will learn to swallow their spit sooner.
Tip: start slowly by touching it to the child’s lips and cheeks when it’s turned off; then move to the tongue, gums and teeth; then turn it on, etc…
4. Move from a sippy cup to a straw cup as fast as you can.
Each step to a different cup further promotes different muscles used in the mouth. Most children who use straws often solve their drooling issue when this skill is mastered, so the sooner you get to it, the better.
Tip: normally, we say to wait until your baby’s first birthday to switch to a sippy cup, but even if you do it earlier for the sake of helping control the drool… put those bottles AWAY, make the switch “cold turkey,” and don’t go back– it should only take a weekend to get your baby used to the idea that his bottle days are over.
~
If your gut tells you that there may be a speech issue, you should contact a speech therapist to perform an assessment — after all, it’s always better to check and be wrong, than to let something go un-diagnosed. But also know that it’s very normal for your baby to drool a LOT during his first year (and second year too!), so try not to worry about it too much. And of course, there’s always a silver lining, right? Here’s this one’s: your baby’s drool coats toys and other objects with disease-preventing proteins. Yay.

Why Does My Child Drool When He/She Sleeps? – Wells Family Dental Group
In 2020, we expect to assist over 1000 patients that are attempting to sleep better. If your child drools excessively when he or she sleeps, read the information below and then contact us.
Have you ever woken up from a long, relaxing sleep only to find a puddle of drool on your pillow? Don’t panic because you’re not alone! Many people, especially children, find themselves having to wash their pillowcases often due to excessive drooling throughout the night. Actually, drooling while sleeping is pretty common with very little risk factors to worry about.
Drooling is defined as the flow of saliva outside of the mouth. It can be caused by the excess production of saliva, the inability to retain saliva within the mouth, or problems swallowing excess saliva thus causing it to leak out.
Throughout the day, your body constantly produces saliva. This saliva is typically swallowed when you’re awake, but what happens when you’re asleep?
First, the body will naturally slow down the production of saliva. The saliva that isn’t swallowed then pools and builds up in the mouth. Because your facial muscles are relaxed while you are asleep, the saliva leaks out of the mouth depending on the sleeping position. If your child drools while he/she sleeps, there is probably little to no reason for concern other than an extra load of laundry now and then. However, if you notice that there’s an excess of drooling, try encouraging a different sleeping position. Generally, sleeping or laying directly on the back minimizes drool as the saliva can drain to the throat. Positions such as the fetal position (on your side) or on the stomach prohibits draining through the throat pushing the saliva to the mouth.
If your child changes his/her sleeping position and the problem persists, contact your primary doctor or dentist to discuss some of these medical conditions:
Teething
Allergies
Sinus Infections
Tonsillitis
Acid Reflux
Sleep/Night Terrors
Medication Side Effects
Sleep Apnea
Neurological Disorder/Developmental Delay
Most of these medical conditions hold no reason for concern; however, they should be investigated further if the drooling problem persists. Your doctor or dentist may recommend therapy or another form of treatment to assist with the reduction of drooling. Treatment does exist! Drooling should not interfere with your child’s sleep schedule, and, as a concerned parent, you should rest easy knowing that your child is benefitting from a full, healthy sleep. And, don’t forget to wash those pillows!
Ways to Treat and Prevent Drooling
There are certain things you may be able to do to help your child treat and prevent drooling. We recommend these drooling prevention tips.
Change Sleeping Positions
If your child tends to drool while they’re sleeping, encourage them to switch sleeping positions. They may find that sleeping on their back resolves the issues as gravity will prevent saliva from coming out of their mouth.
Treat Allergies and Sinus Problems
Take your child to an allergy doctor or orthodontist if you believe they are facing allergies and sinus problems. Many allergies lead to symptoms like increased saliva production and can be taken care of through medications, allergy shots, lifestyle changes, and other common allergy treatments.
Take Medication
If your child has a neurological condition, a doctor may be able to prescribe medication to eliminate it. It often comes in a patch form and is placed behind your child’s ear.
Speech Therapy
Speech therapy may be an option if your child’s drooling is the result of jaw instability and tongue weakness. While this treatment may take some time, it can improve the way your child swallows while decreasing their drooling.
Oral Appliances
There are special oral appliances that are designed to aid with swallowing. They can help position the tongue and close the lips, enabling your child to swallow better so they are less likely to drool.
Surgery
While surgery is the last resort to prevent drooling, it may be necessary, especially if an underlying condition is the cause of your child’s drooling.
As you can see, there are many treatment options available to help your child resolve their drooling issue and any discomfort and embarrassment it may be causing. Since drooling can be a sign of or lead to complications, it’s important to resolve it as soon as possible.

The first cry of a newborn
06/10/2022
If a baby is crying, it means that something is wrong. Every mother knows: either his diaper is wet, or, despite the dead of night, he is hungry again, or he is overcome by fears unknown to us, and therefore he calls his parents. But the very first cry that a newborn makes has, in addition to this, one more meaning – much more important than scientists have hitherto thought. As recent research by biologist Kathleen Wericke from the Institute of Anthropology at the Berlin clinic “Charite” and mathematician Werner Mende, already in the first weeks of life, the piercing cry of each infant differs from the cry of his other tiny peers.
Published in Pregnancy and Pregnancy Management, Pediatrics Premium Clinic
Your Baby’s Development: Week 5 . In these first weeks, baby crying is the best means of communication with adults. The question is – how do you know if he really needs you or just wants to meet his mother right now? And oddly enough, in fact, you will quickly learn to recognize the various nuances of the child’s behavior. If your baby is crying and you still can’t figure out why, take a look at this list.

Newborn baby: sight, hearing, taste
06/10/2022
Newborns do not have such good vision that they can see the room and people passing by in detail. Visual acuity will be achieved by about 1 year of age. The field of view is also limited. Most mothers intuitively lean towards the child and thereby give him the opportunity to see better. What is further than 1 meter, the child sees already blurred due to the immaturity of the neural pathways. The way this information is obtained is interesting. Because the newborn can’t tell you what he still sees and what he doesn’t, he quickly switches. Newborns prefer various more complex formulas to simple ones, as mentioned above.

Expansion of the baby’s diet
10.06.2022
After the baby is 17 weeks old, but no later than 26 weeks, there comes a time when he ceases to be satisfied with milk. Whether you are breastfeeding or formula feeding your baby, you should gradually start introducing new foods into your baby’s diet during this period. This will help the diet of the baby. The way the mother ate during pregnancy whether she is breastfeeding and expanding her baby’s diet correctly all have a real impact on her baby’s present and future health.

Reasons why the child worries parents
06/10/2022
The baby changes from week to week. However, sometimes new changes in a child’s behavior are worrisome, especially when the child is crying, snoring, or drooling heavily. Although they are rarely a precursor to symptoms, sometimes they cannot be ruled out. What to do if the baby cries, snores, screams in the bath, makes strange sounds , puts hands in mouth and drools a lot – what behavior can disturb the baby? These are the most common questions that concern young mothers.

First tests for the newborn
10.06.2022
Immediately after the birth of the newborn, the neonatologist carefully examines and evaluates whether the child is well adapted to life outside the mother’s abdomen. The first tests of the newborn after birth are carried out already in the delivery room. Neonatologist will carefully examine all the baby’s vital signs to identify and treat possible anomalies. So do not be afraid when the baby will cry or cough, because this is a natural and normal reflex that indicates his health.

When should you take your child to a psychologist?
06/10/2022
The fact that a child needs to be taken to a psychologist does not necessarily have to be directly related to his parents, although it should be said that the family and social environment in which the child grew up strongly influence and explain most of the behavior which they have. Children develop according to the environment in which they live. They observe the people around them and imitate them. When a child goes to school, their classmates and teachers also begin to influence them.

How to take care of your child’s feet?
06/10/2022
Most babies have crooked legs. However, when they are distorted, and a large gap is visible between knees , clubfoot is most often diagnosed. Clubfoot often disappears by itself when the child is two years old. But if the child is overweight or has rickets, there is little chance that the defect will go away on its own. Clubfoot is noticeable already at birth, but only begins to bother the child when he begins to master the first steps. Prevents him from walking, the child often falls. Requires orthopedic control and exclusion of rickets or other growth cartilage diseases bones .

Neonatal hypertonicity
06/10/2022
Many new parents are familiar with the term neonatal hypertonicity. However, not everyone fully understands what it is. Is this a natural condition or a manifestation of a disease? Tone is an unconscious excitation of muscles that helps a person to move, change postures of his body, maintain the level of blood pressure in vessels . During pregnancy being in a tight mother’s belly , the baby was forced to take a compact pose. The arms are bent at the elbows, the legs are bent to the tummy, the palms are clenched into fists. The first months after birth, the baby is often in the position of the embryo familiar to him. This is how hypertonicity of newborns manifests itself.

Baby skin care: how to protect your baby’s skin in winter?
10.06.2022
Protection of children’s skin – why is it necessary to protect children’s skin in winter? In newborns, the lipid barrier is not yet sufficiently developed. What is a lipid barrier? It is a “coat” that protects a person’s skin from harmful factors (such as ultraviolet radiation, temperature fluctuations or wind) and prevents the skin from drying out, keeping it hydrated. Therefore, in winter, the skin of a small child requires special care. Children’s skin, due to its structure, dries very easily. This has very negative consequences. Dry skin cracks, flakes, and itches, which can cause your baby to scratch. As a result of scratching, quarrels are formed on the skin, that is, defects in the epidermis, which can be a gateway for viral, bacterial and fungal infections.

“My baby was born the size of a milk bottle.” Mothers of premature babies on childbirth and feelings of guilt
“Dad called me to find out how things were going, and he himself began to sob into the phone. It made it even worse.” Women who give birth to premature babies become depressed, and instead of support they receive pity and condemnation. They tell their stories.
Eggplant skin color, alien head
Natalia Rozengrin from Barnaul gave birth at 30 weeks, her son weighed 950 grams. It was the size of a milk bottle.
At the 16th week of pregnancy, Natalia had a car accident. She pinched her sciatic nerve. Sit down on the bed, walk at least to the toilet – all through hellish pain and with someone else’s help. The recovery took months, in which she completely forgot about her other problem – hypertension.
According to her, Natalia herself was not bothered by high blood pressure. She got used to it. But the obstetrician-gynecologist warned that complications are possible against the background of pressure, he prescribed pills for her. Before the accident, Natalya regularly drank them, and after that she “constantly forgot.” At the 30th week, she developed preeclampsia, a critical condition. Natalia was urgently caesarean.
Natalya’s son Mark spent six days in the intensive care unit of the maternity hospital. Then nine – in the intensive care unit of the regional children’s hospital. In those days, Natalya “felt like a bomb with an incomprehensible fuse – it is not known when it will explode.”
– I walked around the maternity hospital and howled softly in the corners. A nurse approached me and said that stop holding tight, you need to cry normally and it will become easier. I was afraid, Natalya admits. “I thought that if I started crying out loud, I would be completely carried away, and I would go crazy.
Since 2012, children in Russia have been nursed after the 24th week of pregnancy and weighing more than 500 grams. According to the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, about 100 thousand premature babies are born in the country every year, of which about 97% can be saved.
After 15 days, Mark was transferred to the intensive care unit, Natalia was allowed to stay with him. It was necessary to rejoice, but Natalya looked at her son and “prepared herself for the worst. ” She believed that she was doing the right thing: she tuned in to any trials, to the fact that she would accept the child, no matter how he grew up. But due to stress, Natalya “overprepared” herself so much that she stopped adequately assessing what was happening. The perception of the world was distorted utterly.
– Nine hundred and fifty grams! Natalya recalls. – There is no fat layer yet, so the skin color is eggplant. The bones of the skull are not fully formed – the head is like that of an alien. Ears and nose are transparent. You know, my husband works as a lifeguard. He saw so much. Carried burnt bodies out of fires. But when I told him about Mark, he was afraid to look at the child. I myself was wildly frightened, sentenced us to eternal life in hospitals and transferred my fear to him.
Natalya is the only one out of 15 women in the NICU who has improved lactation — usually these mothers either don’t get milk at all or disappear quickly due to stress. And she was ashamed of that too.
— I was “ashamed” in front of the girls who were roommates. They don’t have four milk, and I sit like a maniac, every three hours I milk and milk. You can’t go anywhere, there were no separate rooms for pumping then, Natalya recalls. “Then my mother scared me. She fed her children up to two or three months, and her milk disappeared. She told me without thinking, “So what? You will be discharged, and like me, your milk will be gone by then.” I panicked.
Mark
At first, the baby needed nine to fifteen milliliters per feeding, but I have fifty from each breast. I pumped my milk to the last drop and froze it. During the month and a half that we spent in the hospital, I stuffed them with freezers at home with my husband, my parents and my husband’s parents, my uncle, my sister! It’s good that it was winter and the meat could be stored on the balcony. Six months later, the family yelled: “Natasha, we need freezers!” Naturally, I resisted throwing away the milk: what if it all the same disappears, and I will not finish feeding my son.
Natalia’s milk was not lost. Her son “hung on her chest” for up to a year and two months, until he himself refused.
“Is he disabled?”
At discharge, Mark weighed 2 kilograms 200 grams. According to WHO, normal birth weight for boys is 2.9-3.9 kilograms. The local pediatrician was afraid to touch Mark.
— For three months she told me: “Excuse me, I’m scared. You yourself show the child to me, ”Natalya is already laughing. – From the doctors, although they helped me a lot, I heard a lot of things. For example, they ask at the initial appointment: “What was your birth weight?” I told them: “Nine hundred and fifty grams.” And lamentations begin: “Oh, what good fellows, they learned to nurse! What, he’s not disabled? I answer: “No, not disabled.”
What can we say about doctors, if Natalia herself didn’t realize that her son is developing well, that the problems associated with prematurity are gone. She was hurt by any remark allegedly related to Mark’s “inferiority”. She waited: just about some kind of problem would fire.
– Once on the playground they asked me: “Is he a dwarf?” At two years old, he runs, talks, and is almost a head shorter than other children. One aunt said “small”. I hate this word, – Natalia says in her hearts. – And I stopped going with him to where other children are. Only to relatives, at home, or to nature.
According to Elena Baibarina, Director of the Department of Medical Assistance to Children and the Obstetrics Service of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, there is no scientific evidence that premature babies become disabled more often. “80% are ordinary healthy babies,” Baibarina reported.
Searching the Internet for real stories of premature babies, Natalya came across a lot of negativity: the child is necessarily disabled, the family collects money for treatment. She realized belatedly: mothers simply do not talk about healthy children. Because they want to forget everything like a bad dream; because they are afraid to jinx it and hide children from others; because gradually the problem loses relevance for them (the child returns to normal) and they leave it behind.
– And then I prayed: “Well, someone, show me a healthy premature baby!” No one showed it to me, and I was waiting for a dirty trick. Only at the age of 3.5 did I first think that everything was really good with us. Many thanks to the teacher of the kindergarten, in which I took my son. When I meet her from time to time: “You, please, take a closer look. He was born to me at 950 grams. And somehow she: “Mom! What are you doing with your child like that? He is healthy! Look, they are sick all around, two or three children go to the group, and one of them is yours.
“Read about depression”
According to Natalia, she would have “woke up” much earlier if it had not been for the protracted postpartum depression. Her symptoms: apathy, avoidance of contact with people, tearfulness, poor sleep and loss of appetite – Natalya left without attention for a long time. Although for two years she stopped communicating with friends.
— When Mark was about nine months old, a psychologist friend told me cautiously: “Read about depression. ” However, it is difficult to assess the situation from inside it. For a moment I surfaced, realizing that something was wrong with me. And then again she let everything take its course and switched to her son, Natalya says with annoyance. – In order to see the problem, a person must spend energy on thinking. This is work, there must be resources for it. You need strength to formulate questions if you decide to turn to a psychologist. Apparently I missed them.
Natalia didn’t even have enough strength to mourn: soon after, her father died suddenly due to an aortic aneurysm. At the funeral, she did not shed a tear and did not feel anything at all.
– Now I’m crying, thinking about my dad. Then it was like I was frozen. Probably couldn’t go any deeper. Otherwise, there would be a clinic, and the body defended itself in such a way.
The first glimpses of her life appeared in the second year of her son’s life. Natalya began to look for a suitable psychologist and did not find it. It turned out that the specialists she met had little understanding of how to work with her situation: the birth of a premature baby is neither a loss nor a disease, some too specific condition that they did not know from which side to approach. Since Natalia is fluent in German, she found information about the problems of mothers of premature babies on a German resource. And also – the results of a pilot study by British scientists that women whose children were born with very low birth weight (less than 1,500 grams) are more likely than mothers of full-term babies to develop symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in the second and third years. child’s life.
“We mothers reassured doctors”
In her third year, Natalia learned about the international club “28 loops” (so many loops are needed to start knitting socks for a premature baby), and he also helped her in recovery.
28 Loops is a community of people who knit woolen clothes for premature babies. For example, babies need rugs and socks so that the wool irritates their skin and the children do not fall asleep deeply. Then they are less likely to stop breathing during sleep due to the immaturity of the respiratory center. Octopus toys – so that children have something to grab onto with their hands (in the womb they grab the umbilical cord) and they don’t tear off medical tubes.
As a rule, there is not enough woolen clothes in maternity hospitals. Neither mothers nor their friends are able to quickly provide the baby with the same socks. Club “28 loops” solves this problem.
Mark
Natalia has been fond of knitting since her childhood, so when she learned about the club, she rushed to knit for the Altai Regional Children’s Hospital. The woman united around herself those who have a desire to help. Each transfer of things to the department for premature babies took place in a solemn atmosphere with the participation of mothers. Three times a year: July 8 on the Day of Family, Love and Fidelity, November 17 on the International Day of Premature Babies and New Year’s Eve.
“Returns” to the regional hospital turned into psychotherapy sessions for Natalia. And, it turned out, it was not her alone who felt better at heart.
— I noticed with what interest the girls, after handing over things, come up to me and ask different questions. Especially those whose children are less than a kilogram, says Natalia. – I remembered how much I wanted to see a healthy child, and therefore I began to take Mark to events. He is their main focus! The girls are watching him intently: how he walks (what if he has cerebral palsy?), how he looks (does his eyes squint?), how he behaves (is everything all right with intelligence?). I believe and see that it helps them morally.
In 2017, on the International Day of Premature Babies, Natalia arranged the first meeting of doctors from the regional children’s hospital with their former patients.
Her goal was to help mothers get rid of old fears and give doctors the opportunity to get to know their “graduates”, to see the fruits of their labor.
— Before that, doctors saw children with serious health problems. They returned to them for some advice. And for 20 years that there was a department of premature babies in the regional hospital, they never crossed paths with their healthy graduates, – says Natalia. The meeting didn’t go as I had imagined. I thought that mothers would cry, but in reality the doctors sobbed. We mothers comforted them.
Since then, such campaigns have been held annually.
Mark with his mom and dad
As a result, Natalia’s experience formed the basis of the Right to a Miracle Foundation’s project. Since September 2021, in nine regions of Russia, volunteers, the so-called peer consultants, began to work in departments of hospitals for premature babies. These are women who themselves once gave birth long before 40 weeks (the normal gestation period). They know how current mothers feel and can provide moral support.
“I heard “Poof!” — and the waters began to recede»
Mariam Pogobesyan’s pregnancy from Voronezh proceeded smoothly, without complications. And suddenly, at 31 weeks, her water broke.
It was Sunday. My husband and I went to get a dog. We return from the veterinary clinic, and I feel severe pain in my stomach, recalls Mariam. – At home, I heard some kind of sound like “Poof!”, And the waters began to break. My husband loaded me into the car. We rushed to the nearest maternity hospital.
The doctors hoped to stop the contractions and gave Mariam a special drug. Until one in the morning she was languishing in pain: her lower abdomen ached, her legs were taken away. Realizing that the limit had come, Mariam went to the midwife on duty and asked her to examine her. It turned out that Mariam is giving birth. Nellie was born half an hour later. She was immediately taken to the emergency room.
The doctors asked my mother not to worry. The girl’s weight is decent – 1,950 grams. She screamed, her lungs opened. According to the Apgar scale, 7 points out of 10. Mariam willingly believed the doctors and calmed down. And the next day she was told that her daughter was on artificial lung ventilation.
Nelly
What happened to Nelly is a mystery to Mariam. A day later, the baby was transferred to the regional children’s hospital. Mariam waited two weeks to be placed with her daughter. The ground was slipping from under my feet.
– Either there are no places, or something else. I don’t remember those days well. Anxiety. Tears. Thoughts: how is a child without me? She ate by force and went to the maternity hospital to express her milk. I went to the hospital and my heart skipped a beat. Alive, not alive? Any deterioration? Mariam says. – I was told that the child’s condition is stable and serious. What does “stably heavy” mean, I did not understand. For me it was the end. But it turns out that in the medical vocabulary “stable” is already good, and you can rejoice. All premature babies are stably heavy at first.
“I am neither a woman nor a mother”
Like any premature baby, Nelly was carefully examined. She had a massive hemorrhage in her brain. Doctors did not tell my mother about the possible consequences. Mariam was afraid to question them and herself led herself to this conclusion: brain damage – intellect – mental retardation.
“I couldn’t think that it could only affect motor activity, so I drew a picture of a child sitting in a wheelchair and drooling,” Mariam scolds herself. — I sobbed. The nurses comforted me. They said that they saw many children with hemorrhages and everything ended happily. But I didn’t hear them, I imagined the worst option possible. And when my daughter told me for six months that she had a mild degree of hemiparesis (weakening of muscle strength on one side of the body), I exhaled straight. Motor disturbances were definitely easier for me to accept than mental ones.
Mariam is grateful to her relatives: they, unlike her, did not fall into despair and never reproached her. Moreover, Mariam herself managed to shoot arrows of accusations at her relatives.
— I am such a person that I eat myself from the inside. I don’t need help with this. Perhaps the relatives understood this and were afraid to say too much to me, she suggests. – And, thank God, I quickly passed the stage of self-flagellation: “Here, I’m so bad, I didn’t inform. I am not a woman and not a mother. My focus was on others, and it was easier for me that way. I blamed both my husband and my mother. Allegedly, they treated me badly: my husband didn’t give me a lift somewhere, and the like.
In reality, Mariam had a ruptured vein due to varicose veins in her umbilical cord. The oxygen supply to the child was disrupted, he began to suffocate, labor began. Mariam read that varicose veins are not visible on ultrasound. And who to blame?
More difficult with hemorrhage. Until now, Mariam sometimes thinks about his reasons. The most unbearable for her, if the reason lay in the oversight of the doctors: the child was connected to a ventilator for reinsurance, they gave too much oxygen flow, and the vessels broke. Now Mariam is driving this version away from herself. And before that, she looked for similar cases, compared, blamed the doctors, in other words, drove herself into a corner.
“I don’t understand why he doesn’t speak”
Mariam and Nelly spent a month and a half in the hospital. In a year, Nelly physically caught up with the Normics. However, her speech development was delayed. Nellie didn’t even babble. Mariam tensed.
– He doesn’t speak in a year – okay. At one and a half he doesn’t say – well, wait, the premature baby. After one and a half, I took her to the specialists. We went to Moscow twice. Doctors look at her – psychologists, neuropsychologists, speech therapists – and shrug. Nelly’s speech apparatus is in order, her passive vocabulary is rich (fulfills requests, shows colors in a book), and it is not clear why she does not speak.
Mariam and Nelly
Doctors advise: “Wait”. And this period of waiting, in which I can do nothing, was terrible. I was so overwhelmed that I ended up at the reception of a psychotherapist.
During the most acute periods, Mariam’s grandmother and mother took care of the child, and she herself lay “in a horizontal position, all in tears and with a look into the void.”
As a rule, complete oblivion overtook Mariam after reading horror stories on the Internet.
– I had strong conflicts with my husband over the phone. As soon as my husband saw me with the phone, he started to shake, and he took away my mobile phone. Although I could not read about childhood illnesses, says Mariam. “My family saw very well that I needed help. But how can you help if the person is against it? Having matured, I myself told my husband: “Sasha, take me to the doctor! I can’t take it anymore, I want to live normally!” I still had fragments of my mind, and I admitted to myself that it was time to be treated.
Mariam spent three weeks under the close attention of a psychotherapist, she was prescribed medication.
It was in the spring, and in the summer Nellie spoke, and almost immediately with sentences. For another year and a half, Mariam continued to work with the doctor, taking antidepressants.
Nelly with mom and dad
— It seems that she managed to overcome depression. Cleared up in my head. And my family was able to return to normal life – to work, relax, enjoy communication with each other. At the family council and with the participation of the attending physician, it was decided that it was necessary to change the scenery and try to go to work.
At the age of two and a half Nelli went to kindergarten, and Mariam became an equal consultant.
“My daughter lies like a transparent petal”
The first pregnancy of Victoria Mordanova from Krasnoyarsk was ectopic. The second ended in a miscarriage at the 19th week – the cervix is too short, it does not hold the fetus in the womb. In the third pregnancy, the doctors played it safe and sewed up the cervix at the 12th week. At 21 weeks, the stitches parted. It was not possible to re-impose them – the walls of the neck were torn during the operation. From the 21st week to the 28th, Victoria lay in the hospital without getting out of bed. It was the only way to prevent preterm labor.
Olya
Viktoria “did not make it to the end of the due date” because an intrauterine infection was discovered – the child developed sepsis. She was called into labor. The baby did not breathe on his own for the first week, his weight was 1,350 grams.
— Mothers who have regular births have so-called happy moments. They put the baby on their chest, they feed him … We don’t have this, ”says Victoria. It was difficult for me to accept the situation. It is difficult for the first time to approach your daughter and see her. She lies like a transparent petal. And wild fear, and misunderstanding of what lies ahead of us.
It is difficult to talk to the attending physician because every day is a new diagnosis. And you don’t know where to put yourself after these conversations.
“The worst thing we had was a ventricular hemorrhage in the brain on both sides, in one of the most severe degrees,” continues Victoria. – There are four of them. We had a three-four degree. They said that the chances of survival are 80% and that this is not treated in any way. It’s just being watched.
“Dad called and sobbed into the phone”
Victoria’s daughter, she was named Olya, got out of a critical condition rather quickly. On June 7, there was a birth, in mid-August – an extract. But Victoria left the hospital with a great sense of anxiety. Olya was threatened with a deep disability.
— I understood that I had a gigantic responsibility. My daughter has a lot of problems to solve. And I need not only to find good specialists, but also to come to them on time, without missing a moment. I didn’t know how to do it,” Victoria explains.
Victoria with newborn Olya
In order not to become limp, Victoria communicated only with her husband (he supported her as much as possible and helped her in making decisions) and “partially with her mother”.
— Why couldn’t she be with others? Because they started to regret. And from their pity it became even worse, just sick, – Victoria admits. – Even my dad tried to call me and find out how I was doing, and started sobbing into the phone. I asked him: “Why are you calling me? Support me or cry with me? In addition, I didn’t want to retell the diagnoses to everyone, answer their questions: “Why did this happen? And how will you go on?” How do I know? I wanted calm communication, not compassionate little voices on the phone. From them even more I want to hide somewhere, fail, run away.
When her daughter was four months old, Victoria learned about the Right to a Miracle Foundation and met mothers who struggled with similar problems. Their advice helped her a lot. And Victoria and Olya, fortunately, everything worked out.
In a year and a half Olya caught up with her usual peers. Now the girl is two years and four months old, she goes to kindergarten. Her resilient mother is on the “rescue team”.
