20 Stunning Long Dark Brown Hair Cuts and Styles

To keep long dark brown hair looking strong, healthy and stylish you will need to complete salon procedures with proper home care and right styling products. Let’s learn together how to enhance the long length, maintain brunette color, and choose flattering hairstyles for your gorgeous dark locks!

What haircuts suit long dark brown hair best? Too simple and flat styles will be a miss and a total bore. Choose layered and step haircuts, shaggy ends, textured bangs. A great idea will be to brighten up your long brown locks with full or barely there partial highlights (cool-toned ashy or silver, warm chocolate, caramel or golden blonde shades). They will look marvelous tied in a bun, ponytail, or a braid. As for the styling, loose beach waves, big curls and blown out flipped ends are still the most working variants.

Gorgeous long dark hair is achievable. First of all, you need to cure all your hair problems — split ends, dry flakes, dandruff, as they are very visible on brunette locks. To prevent your long dark brown hair from fading and looking dull you need a good color preserving shampoo and conditioner. Minimize heat styling, include SPF protection into your hair routine, and give blue shampoos a try. Apart from making homemade hair masks, plan pro salon treatments (Keratin, mesotherapy, and Olaplex if you highlight your hair). All this sounds more complicated than it actually is, and the result will be luscious!

Fashion trends dictate the best hairstyles of 2021. While some hairstyles are suitable for blondes, brunettes are better off with others. Of course, there are many universal haircuts that go with any hair color. Burning black color attracts attention, and in combination with a creative haircut, it completely captivates the eye. What haircuts will be fashionable in the new season?

Pixie

The refined and elegant pixie cut continues fall in love with girls all over the world. This option is for sports and even for a secular party. Pixies are ideal for bold and active girls. This haircut is not for those who are used to being always on the sidelines. If you can’t sit still and you’re the life of the party in any setting, this is something you should definitely try. Regardless of age, pixies are a creative solution.

Kare

Classic living forever, simply cannot but be on this list of the best hairstyles of the new season. Despite the fact that she gained popularity a long time ago, she continues to be at the top of fashion. And how many different options you can create with a caret! Even the most ordinary even square can make you a queen. Do you want variety? Apply a bob, an elongated version or a graduation with a bob.

Bob

Bob certainly deserves a lot of attention. Short playful or elongated flirtatious? However, it’s up to you to decide. And the classics and asymmetry will do their job. The hairstyle will perfectly smooth out the clear contours of the face, and you will not need much time to style it. Also, the bob easily solves the problem of thin hair. An unsurpassed volume is provided.

Cascade

Many girls like this hairstyle, first of all, due to its volume. We get it thanks to the multi-layered curls. The cascade gives the strands softness, airiness. It is good for straight and naturally curly hair. Changing the image with him is easy. For fatal brunettes, this will be a great advantage.

Asymmetric haircuts

Asymmetric haircuts are varied and sometimes surprise with a variety of shapes. This is the perfect option for creating beautiful looks that are in line with the beauty industry. Asymmetry is far from classic, so it will easily provide an outstanding image. In 2021, such haircuts will become very relevant.

Ragged haircuts

Ragged haircuts got their uniqueness due to thinning strands. It’s unusual but stylish. Especially, girls with thick heavy curls should pay attention to them.

Could we improve America by treating 2-year-olds better?

This story is part of a series that looks at what makes the 2-year-old year so critical and what could be done to better support toddlers in America. The series was produced by The Hechinger Report and Columbia Journalism School’s Teacher Project, nonprofit news organizations focused on education coverage, in partnership with Slate Magazine.

In Wichita, Kansas, single mother Tiffany McNitt sometimes cries after dropping her kids, aged 2 and 3, at their babysitter’s house on her way to work. It’s not just that she’ll miss them—she worries her children aren’t learning anything and are already falling behind.

This story also appeared in Slate

In Seattle, Tori Gottlieb and her husband agonized over spending 25 percent of their income on day care for their 2-year-old daughter last fall. They didn’t see how they could afford to have the second child they knew they wanted.

Parents dread the terrible twos, but what makes the year so tough for many families isn’t just tantrums in supermarket aisles or toilet-training disasters. It’s the difficulty of finding safe, high-quality child care in a country that offers parents limited choices of questionable quality and little guidance on how to make those choices. This neglect could have far-reaching consequences—research shows that a toddler’s daily environment can have a lasting effect on her brain structure for a lifetime.

“A child’s experiences not only determine what information enters her brain, but also influence how her brain processes information,” explains a succinct and well-documented summary of the first three years of brain development posted by the Tennessee-based Urban Child Institute.

Still, more than half of infants and toddlers in the United States spend some part of their day being cared for by someone other than a parent, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. And at both the federal and state level, the U.S. spends almost nothing on helping American families care for their collective 3.9 million 2-year-olds. The 2-year-old year is the doughnut hole in the early education system: Infants and their mothers living in poverty may receive some amount of support through programs like nurse home visiting, and 3- and 4-year-olds begin to have the option to attend public preschool programs. But next to nothing is done to provide access to child care for 2-year-olds or to regulate it. And while higher-income families can mitigate some of this lack by opening their wallets, care for toddlers is hard to come by and sometimes prohibitively expensive even for the middle class.

The plight of 2-year-olds is part of the larger issue of how the country deals with early education in general, but it also represents a specific gap in the paltry system we do have.

“We fundamentally haven’t made a decision about whether early childhood education is a public or private good,” said Rhian Evans Allvin, chief executive officer of the National Association for the Education of Young Children, an organization dedicated to improving child care.

Except, we have decided. By not providing more taxpayer-funded support, we’ve all tacitly agreed that parents are on their own when it comes to finding care for their children, at least until they turn 5 and head to kindergarten. That’s far later than most developed countries start paying attention.

And it’s in spite of the fact that the latest brain science backs up what parents have known intuitively for ages: The early years consist of some of the most important moments in child development. The size of a child’s vocabulary at age 2 can predict his academic and behavioral abilities at the start of kindergarten. School readiness at the start of kindergarten can affect a child’s ability to read by third grade. Kids who read by third grade are more likely to graduate from high school. People who graduate from high school have higher earnings and are less likely to end up in jail. Parents who aren’t in jail and who have the capacity to earn a living wage are more likely to have children with larger vocabularies by age 2.

Of course, the care a child receives at age 2 is not the only factor determining her life trajectory. But attentive caregivers who offer the space, time, and materials for 2-year-olds to explore everything their world has to offer can make a significant difference for children at this age. Caregivers who sing with kids, ask them questions, encourage them to create, and keep them safe and well-fed build children’s skills and self-confidence. This contributes to getting them ready to tackle preschool and kindergarten successfully. Model programs boast all of these features, but given the current landscape, most such programs are available only to those who can afford to pay for the privilege. High-quality, center-based care rivals the cost of public college tuition in many states.

Currently, funding to help the poor afford care is insufficient and funding to help the middle class is all but nonexistent. Just 0.3 percent of our gross domestic product is spent on public early childhood education and care for children age 5 and younger, compared with an average of 0.7 percent for the European Union, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, which tracks international economic trends. We also spend about half as much per child as the average for EU countries. And most of that money goes to 4- and 5-year-olds in public preschool and kindergarten, not to younger children.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 62 percent of 2-year-olds have a working mother, usually a sign that the family is seeking child care. Yet only about 6 percent of 2-year-olds are cared for with funding provided by Early Head Start or the Child Care and Development Block Grant program—the two primary federal programs offering child care support for families of toddlers. (There are also some child care assistance funds available through the current iteration of welfare, known as Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, but data on exactly what goes to child care, as opposed to other needs, can be hard to pull apart as each state has different distribution formulas.)

The result of our minimal investment in 2-year-olds is a stunning lack of access to affordable, high-quality care for families at every level of the socioeconomic ladder. Parents at all levels often feel they have ended up in care situations forced by circumstance rather than selected by choice.

Moreover, with parents unable to vote with their feet due to the short supply, private providers have little incentive to keep quality high and states hesitate to make regulations too arduous, lest they end up tightening the market even more. Whether private providers are nonprofits, like the YMCA or a local church, or for-profits, like KinderCare or Bright Horizons, the programs have to cover their facility and labor costs. Toddlers require more adult supervision than preschoolers, making 2-year-old care significantly more expensive than 4-year-old care. Many private child care programs don’t bother with younger children, since it’s far less lucrative than care for older children.

Of 3- and 4-year-old children in child care, 41 percent receive private-sector care rather than publicly funded care. (In this case, 3- and 4-year-olds are the only similar age category for which this data is available.) Since so much public funding goes to older preschoolers, the private sector is likely an even bigger player in the 2-year-old care market.

“We fundamentally haven’t made a decision about whether early childhood education is a public or private good.”

In large part because of the lack of options, hundreds of thousands of young children of all income levels are spending much of their days in insufficient or even unsafe conditions while their parents work; 75 percent of infants in center care and 93 percent in home-based care are in low- or mediocre-quality care settings, according to Zero to Three, a nonprofit advocacy group focused on young children. Those numbers likely hold for toddlers because nonparental care options don’t increase significantly until age 3.

“Care is lagging behind, so kids are lagging behind,” said Patricia Cole, senior director of federal policy at Zero to Three. “It’s a pretty threadbare system.”

Advocates like Cole say the time to invest is now.

“This is not something that we don’t know how to do and we keep trying different things and it doesn’t work,” she said. The effort to provide more and better care has “never been given the resources to do what it needs to do and reach all the people it needs to reach.”

The payoff for changing that status quo could be huge. Nobel prize–winning economist James Heckman has shown that the highest monetary return on investment comes before children even start preschool—that is, the more a society spends on its youngest citizens, the more it earns back over time by helping prepare kids for self-sufficient lives in adulthood. Economists’ estimates of the actual return range from $3 to $16 dollars in savings on public services and revenue from income taxes for every dollar spent on early childhood education.

McNitt and Gottlieb, who sit at different points on the economic spectrum, agreed that more government assistance with the cost of high-quality child care would have helped them.

McNitt qualifies for direct financial aid to help her cover the cost of care for Alexis, 2, and Coltin, 3, but there is so little funding available that she is unlikely to receive it. She’s currently on a waiting list to get Alexis a spot at her local branch of Early Head Start. The federally funded care and education program only has enough money to serve 6 percent of eligible children nationally. Coltin, 3, has a slightly better chance of getting into Head Start, the program for 3- and 4-year-olds, which is able to serve 31 percent of eligible children nationally.

While she waits, McNitt pays her cousin $200 of her $1,080 monthly wages to watch her children. She says her cousin is “good with kids,” but she’s not sure that’s enough.

“I don’t want them to just be watched,” said McNitt, who considers Head Start her first choice for care. “I want them to be smart, to work their brains.”

Mothers like McNitt, who do not have a college degree, are actually significantly more likely to consider learning experiences available at a care provider very important than mothers with a postsecondary education, according to data from the National Center for Education Statistics. Without those Head Start spots, though, McNitt’s choices are limited. She earns $7.50 an hour testing car and boat harnesses to support herself and her children and to bring some money in for her ailing father. Recently, she was searching for a place with more books and other activities for Alexis and Coltin; one nearby center told her it would cost $800 a month to send both children, financially impossible for her.

As many as half of working parents chose informal, unregulated care for their young children, according to a 2016 study of the cost of child care by Child Care Aware, a nonprofit organization that tracks child care trends and advocates for more generous child care policies. Infants and toddlers are most likely to receive informal care and a majority of care providers are relatives, especially grandmothers.

“I don’t want them to just be watched. I want them to be smart, to work their brains.”

While McNitt’s cousin and many of the grandmothers watching young children are probably perfectly up to the task of keeping children safe and fed, research has shown that informal care is less likely to prepare children for school than licensed home-based or center-based care.

Most informal care is entirely unregulated, meaning that quality varies widely. Twenty-seven states allow fewer than five unrelated children to be watched in a home by a care provider with no license or training, according to Child Care Aware. Only 11 states require a license for anyone receiving compensation to watch even one child who is not their own.

Gottlieb and her husband are not eligible for any public assistance, despite the fact that child care for two children, even with the sibling discount for their second child, would gobble up nearly 40 percent of their family income. They ultimately decided to have a second child anyway. The new baby arrived this fall, making them a family of four. Before she came, they thought they might be able to find a less expensive care option than the day care their older daughter attends (which they love). But Gottlieb said there was nothing else nearby that took infants and met their standards as a place that would provide their children with the safety, nurture, and educational experience they were counting on.

Having one parent stay home wouldn’t have solved the money problem, she said, because the cost of care was enough that it would have nearly erased either single income meaning they’d be stuck trying to live on half their income regardless. Plus, they’d be sacrificing retirement savings and possible raises for however long one of them was out of work. They’d also be more reliant on one person’s job not evaporating in a surprise round of layoffs or some other unpredictable situation—a riskier proposition on a tight budget. Moreover, Gottlieb said, both she and her husband enjoy their work and would prefer to stay employed. They looked into taking a home equity loan to cover the extra day care costs but were hesitant to put themselves further in debt. Finally, her father offered to cover the cost of the youngest child’s tuition for the 19 months the two children will be in care at the same time.

“We’re basically getting subsidized care,” Gottlieb said, “but from our family. ”

“Care is lagging behind, so kids are lagging behind. It’s a pretty threadbare system.”

Gottlieb and her husband are not alone in struggling to pay for child care, despite earning solid middle-class salaries. The cost of private, center-based child care varies wildly—the same infant could cost $17,082 per year in Massachusetts and just $5,045 per year in Mississippi—so it’s impossible to talk about prices on a national level. (Though infant care costs slightly more, it is a good proxy for 2-year-old care costs, which aren’t tracked independently.) Still, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has determined that “affordable” care is care that costs less than 7 percent of a family’s income; for a family making $100,000 annually, that would be $583 a month. Only seven states had average rates that low for center-based infant care (22 met that bar for home-based infant care), according to Child Care Aware.

Of course, most families don’t earn $100,000 a year—$59,039 is the national household median income. In 49 states and the District of Columbia, center-based infant care is unaffordable for those earning the state median income. And even home-based infant care, which is cheaper, is still unaffordable in 45 states and the District of Columbia.

The current child care tax credit does little to reduce the burden by crediting middle class families for just 20 to 35 percent of $3,000 per child, a fraction of annual child care costs in most states. Plus, the credit can only be used for a maximum of two children so the largest possible kickback is $2,100. It’s also nonrefundable, meaning it doesn’t help those who owe no taxes.

As a candidate, Donald Trump proposed increasing the child care tax care credit, but that increase was not included in his administration’s September tax overhaul proposal, nor has it appeared in House or Senate proposals. Instead, Republicans are now suggesting an increase to the child tax credit, which is a benefit to anyone with a child and which currently maxes out at $1,000 depending on the taxpayer’s income bracket. Critics have pointed out that such a change will only help families making enough money to owe taxes, and unless the increase is significant, it won’t even help them much either.

Evans Allvin said her organization is generally in favor of using the tax code to reduce the cost burden on working families. Still, she said, “Changing the tax code alone will not close the gap. It will take a sustained investment from the public sector to bring to scale young kids having access to high-quality early learning.”

Most new parents sitting at the kitchen table trying to make the child care math work are millennials (born between about 1980 and 2000) who have already shown a taste for more European-style family policies. Highly educated young workers at tech companies like Google and Facebook have been part of the driving force behind the increasingly generous parental leave packages that have come to be the norm at big, corporate firms competing for top talent. Those benefits haven’t reached most of the working population, however, and hourly workers as a whole tend to have no legal guarantee of parental leave, let alone help paying for child care.

0.3 percent of GDP – amount the U.S. spends on early childhood education and care for children age 5 and under (OECD)

Still, millennials might be the generation to tip the scale in favor of more government support for young children by pushing for a change in state and federal regulations, said Kris Perry, executive director of the First Five Years Fund, an organization dedicated to educating politicians on both sides of the aisle about early childhood policy.

“Millennials are the people holding [politicians] accountable in another cycle or two,” Perry said. “If they all want something, it will emerge.”

While advocates push for increasing the child care tax credit, expanding Early Head Start, and providing family-friendly policies that could move the needle on both access and quality, some educators are pulling together brick-and-mortar solutions.

In one innovative Phoenix school, long rows of classrooms enclose a central courtyard complete with a playground, a garden, and a bronze sculpture of a lizard to climb on. In the toddler classroom, Victoria, 3, spent an April day eating breakfast, playing house, comforting a friend with an “owie,” listening to several stories read out loud, blowing bubbles outside, finger painting, and, finally, taking a nice long nap. This is what life is like for children enrolled in Educare, a program that provides free care to children living in poverty from infancy through preschool. The program, which has 21 sites around the country, has been lauded as a model of high-quality early childhood education.

“We’re one of the new programs that focused on the understanding that learning begins at birth,” said Jessie Rasmussen, president of the Buffett Early Childhood Fund. Rasmussen’s foundation is one of the leading organizers and funders of Educare. “More than just serving the kids in our schools every day, we want to be a platform for change—demonstrating the need for this kind of care.”

In every city where the program exists, the national organization partners with Head Start, the state, or local preschool program, and other community-based stakeholders work together to cover the cost of a year’s tuition—an average of $22,000, with significant regional variation.

Educare keeps quality high by offering ongoing professional development, engaging families to extend learning opportunities at home, and using data to inform classroom practice. And it works. The results of a decade long study show that children who start in Educare by age 2 improve their vocabulary and self-control and have more involved parents when they head to kindergarten at age 5. Educare students, including English language learners, outperformed their low-income peers on vocabulary assessments—and the earlier they started at Educare, the better they did on the assessments.

$22,000 – average amount spent per year on children enrolled in Educare, a model program for young children living in poverty (actual amount varies by region)

Alejandra Nava, the mother of Esteban, 3, said the Phoenix-based Educare was a huge help to her. Her five older children had no such option, she said, and she can see that it is making a difference for Esteban. He has learned how to conduct himself in a classroom, improved at taking turns, and speaks more clearly. And Nava, who earns some money selling tamales, now has time on her own to buy groceries, go to doctor appointments, and keep up the house. As a result, she said she is able to spend more focused time with Esteban when he is with her.

“I’m very thankful to this program,” Nava said in Spanish. She has also taken some of the English and computer classes offered on site. “It’s a good benefit for all the parents.”

Educare is tiny, serving fewer than 5,000 children nationally. To provide such a program to every 2-year-old in the country would cost somewhere in the ballpark of $85.8 billion. We currently spend $634 billion total on elementary and secondary public education. (Of course, not every child between 5 and 18 attends public school, but about 50.7 million of them do.)

The chance of finding the level of national political will that would compel lawmakers to spend such a massive amount of taxpayer money any time soon is about the same as the chance that your favorite 2-year-old memorizes a Shakespearean sonnet tomorrow. But if some change isn’t made to how we treat this important, and oft ignored, age group, we could pay the price … eventually.

“We talk about the American dream,” Evans Allvin said. “You work hard, you put in an effort and you have the opportunity to be anything you want. Without the investment in early learning, that’s not happening right now.”

TODDLER PRESCHOOL IMPORTANT INFO

Our preschool and daycare center uses a holistic approach to help your child grow. We focus on all areas of childhood development in the Yellow Sunshines preschool program — intellectual, social-emotional, and physical development is incorporated into everything we do.

Curriculum

Adventures in Learning knows that academic learning can and should start at an early age. We implement a curriculum that begins working with letters and language, counting and numbers, shapes, colors, and cognitive skills (such as practicing paying attention, thinking, reasoning, and imagining). Your child will also continue working on their social-emotional growth by practicing positive interactions with other students.

Every lesson we teach is designed to be engaging and fun! We incorporate art, sensory activities, music, and movement into each and every day. Our licensed caregivers know how much energy your toddler has, and we make sure our lessons are developmentally appropriate for this age group.

Playtime

We know how essential playtime is for kids. Not only do children love to play, but it’s an important aspect of their growth and development. Practicing social and emotional skills, using imagination and creativity, getting physical exercise — all of these playtime components play a vital role in your child’s life (and their future). When your child comes to preschool and daycare at Adventures in Learning, they’ll work on all of these skills and have fun doing so.

Independent Practice

Growing in independence, learning to navigate the world on their own, while also building strong social skills are incredibly important at this age. Your toddler will practice sharing and taking turns, and continue focusing on certain self-help skills as well. Some of the areas you can expect your child to grow in include:

• Self-dressing
• Washing hands
• Cleaning up their messes (throwing away trash, etc.)
• Using their words
• Listening and following directions
• Making friends and managing positive relationships
• Forming a sense of identity and sel

With Adventures in Learning, your toddler will not only be in the best possible care, they’ll be guided and encouraged in their development — helping them both in the present and the future.

Basic principles of working with a child of 2 years old

Parents do not always have the opportunity to send their child to kindergarten from the age of two. In such cases, it is recommended to organize training and creative activities at home on your own. It is important to note that all exercises must be performed in a playful way. It is categorically impossible to force kids to do something without desire. In the future, this can completely discourage the desire to learn.

Lessons from 2 years old

Lessons for toddlers 2-3 years old are very easy to organize on your own. To do this, there are a huge number of educational games, didactic materials that allow you to diversify activities. Any lesson should be bright, interesting, deliver only positive emotions. Children immediately lose interest as soon as he realizes that he is being forced.

A two-year-old child and the peculiarities of his thinking

Psychologists say that the second year of life for children is a period of crisis. They begin to actively study the world around them, to realize the difficulties that it can bring them.

Note! The task of parents is to help the child to overcome the crisis period.

Parents often make a big mistake, believing that at the age of two it is not worth teaching a child anything, because he will not understand. But when they begin to educate him, it turns out that time has been lost. In the first five years of a child’s life, the foundations of education are laid. The most important years are 1.5-2.

At the age of two, the child should speak. Thanks to this, the development of his self-consciousness is accelerated. It is through verbal communication that he receives most of the information that is necessary for development. It is important for parents during this period to pay as much attention as possible to the formation of speech. At the age of one and a half years, the baby already knows how to call a spade a spade. By the age of two, he already develops the ability to combine up to three words into a phrase.

Important! When a child is in his third year, his visual-active thinking changes to visual-figurative. It differs in that all actions with material objects are replaced by images. The internal development of thinking is based on the formation of concepts.

By the end of the second year, children begin the period of “why-why”. The child becomes persistent, he demands an answer to the question posed. The attitude towards the received answer is already being expressed. At the age of three, the baby begins to see himself from the outside, he is already able to control his behavior.

Features of development

Developing activities at home with mom, exercises for every day

The task of parents is to spend as much time as possible with the child, to organize his leisure. First of all, you need to start classes with hand motility. It is necessary to captivate the baby with the construction of houses from cubes. You should start with the simplest shapes, gradually complicating them. It is important to constantly talk with children during the game, to explain each action. There must be praise.

Children between the ages of two and three show great interest in household chores. Don’t be discouraged from helping your mom. You can offer the crumbs to sweep or wipe the dust on their own. You should always offer your child to help their parents. If this is not done, at an older age you will have to force him.

Some parents prefer to hire professional nannies to take care of their children. This is a big mistake. A baby at an early age really needs to communicate with his mother. Any exciting game unites and brings parents and children closer. It is very useful to play with the whole family.

Important! It is recommended not just to select activities, but to focus on certain abilities of the child. It is best to alternate creative games with outdoor ones. It is important to observe the time of the classes, they should be no more than twenty minutes. It is still very difficult for children to concentrate on one subject for a long time.

It is important during this period to pay as much attention as possible to reading poems and fairy tales. You can arrange theatrical performances. At this age, children love not only to listen, but also to watch.

Closer to the age of three, when the child is able to make small sentences, you can ask him to complete the sentence while reading fairy tales. For example, pause while reading and invite the baby to finish the phrase on their own.

While reading, you can teach your child how this or that animal makes sounds. You can print colorful pictures with animals, show them to the baby and offer to tell how it talks.

All activities for the development of motor skills should include finger play. You can use entertaining rhymes, come up with your own story. Such activities will help develop coordination.

During this period, bodily contact with parents is very important for every child. You need to touch the baby’s hands more often, stroke the palms. When the nerve endings in the fingers are activated, the parts of the brain that are responsible for the speech apparatus begin to work intensively.

Little children love to play hide and seek. This is a universal game that can be played not only at home, but also outdoors in summer and spring. At home, you can hide the toy and ask the baby to find it. Each time you need to hide the toy in a new place.

You can come up with an exciting game: draw and cut mushrooms, hide them all over the room, then invite the child to collect all the mushrooms in a basket.

Such a lesson is difficult for a child of two years of age, so the help of parents is required. But gradually he will master the principle, and the lesson will give excellent results.

It is important for children to develop the skill of switching attention from one subject to another. This will be useful in further educational activities. This skill needs to be given time from early childhood. For example, in the process of an exciting game, you can ask a child a distracting question, if he reacts to it, then the development process is going correctly.

Important! Children need to learn to mind their own business and answer their parents’ questions at the same time. For example, a baby may be passionate about drawing, but at the same time answer what he did in kindergarten.

Children at the age of two are fascinated, first of all, by bright objects. If you want to play logic games, you need to choose only one object at a time. For example, today only a pyramid is assembled, the next day a house is built from cubes.

It is important for two-year-olds to study colors. Tasks for GEF are supposed to start with plain cards. You can show them to the baby and say what color it is. Repeat until the baby remembers.
