Wrangling your energetic kindergartener for quiet reading time at home every day can be…rough. But it’s worth doing. Why? “Reading to your kindergartener as much as possible will increase the probability of your child’s school success,” says Denise Daniels, RN, MS, child development expert and creator of the Moodsters. “It helps children’s brain development and builds key language and social skills. It also fosters curiosity and communication skills,” she adds. Yep, reading boasts an impressive list of benefits, and this is especially true if you choose the right material. Daniels says kindergartners profit most from books with themes that “help children develop morals, empathy, social and emotional learning, and resiliency skills. ..and expose children to diversity.” But don’t worry if you don’t have time to vet every book in the children’s section yourself—we’ve rounded up 50 books for kindergarteners that they’re guaranteed to love.

The kid goes to the garden. Books for the adaptation of the child and his parents

Adaptation to kindergarten is now necessarily told at parent-teacher meetings before the first of September. Everyone is included in the process: psychologists, educators and parents.

A small child experiences real great stress, because he has to change his usual home environment for a new environment. But parents, whose experiences are passed on to children, are no less worried.

Experts advise adults to “breathe in and out” and let go of the situation a little to begin with. In most cases, fears are dictated by the unknown, which is quite realistic to overcome with the help of books that explain, encourage and support.

All about kindergarten for parents

What does a child need in kindergarten, what is his daily routine, how is interaction with teachers built? All these questions are asked by parents who first encounter an educational institution. The books “The child goes to kindergarten” by the publishing house “Sphere” and “It’s time to go to kindergarten. Self-instruction manual for parents” published by “Phoenix” will help to dispel fears and doubts, and at the same time will give detailed answers to the questions: how to choose a kindergarten? what professionals work in the garden? what will the child be taught?

It would seem that the documents for the garden have been submitted, organizational issues have been resolved, but the excitement remains. What if the child in the garden does not like it? Your own negative experiences in childhood can also increase anxiety. Then you should turn to books written by experienced psychologists, especially for parents. The book “Adaptation to kindergarten without problems. A Practical Guide for Parents” contains a step-by-step plan of action and an analysis of the mistakes that parents often make during the adaptation period.

About the book “I don’t want to go to kindergarten”

It is believed that adaptation to the kindergarten lasts from two weeks to one and a half months. But sometimes it takes even longer to get used to, and the family is faced with the “bad” behavior of the baby. What to do if picking up a child from kindergarten is not possible? The book “I don’t want to go to kindergarten” is just for such parents. The publication comes with a set of five psychological fairy tales, a walking game and an amulet toy that you can take with you to kindergarten.

Stories and tales about the kindergarten for children

When a child is read a book, he identifies himself with a hero, whether it is a shy bunny or the same kid who loves mom and dad. Fiction for children has a therapeutic effect, because they describe feelings exactly like him and situations that are so similar to those that happen to him!

So, a boy named Vovka, the hero of the book by Tatyana Rabtseva, is very afraid to go to kindergarten. How will he be alone without his mother? And it also seems to Vovka that the garden is “grandfather’s”, which means that he will have to sit with his grandfathers all day. But everything turns out differently. At first, Vovka is really a little embarrassed and scared, but curiosity is stronger, and soon Vovka finds friends, and the kindergarten becomes a place of real adventure!

“Fox Masya goes to kindergarten” – another help book for preparing a child was written by a practicing fairy tale therapist Irina Terentyeva. Here are collected fascinating tales about the fox Masya and his friends, as well as interesting tasks that the baby can complete on his own or with the help of his parents.

Illustrations for the books “Vovka Goes to Kindergarten” and “Masya the Fox Goes to Kindergarten”

By the way, books with tasks and stickers, coloring pages dedicated to the theme of kindergarten, interaction with friends, rules of conduct and daily routine are a great addition to fairy tales. One of these “Let’s go to kindergarten!” about Teddy bear with stickers and dominoes.

When to read kindergarten books to your child? The earlier the better. After all, the main task of such books is the gradual preparation of the baby for a new regime, new friends and new activities. But the most important thing, which psychologists and teachers tirelessly repeat, is the calmness and goodwill of parents.

Russian police officer from the USA Mikhail Lapidus talks about child drug dealers and a grandmother with a Colt

In the 1990s, 17-year-old Misha Lapidus moved with his parents from Russia to California. There he graduated from the police academy and served in the US police for almost 17 years. After retiring, he returned to Russia, starred in films, writes a book and shares his memories.

Mikhail Lapidus is known in Russia as a successful blogger and an expert on the various intricacies of police work in the United States. On his YouTube channel Edge of Sunset, for several years now he has been talking about serving in the American police, conducting analysis of movie bloopers in crime films and discussing juvenile delinquency and parenting with subscribers.

Five years ago, after almost 17 years of service with the Oakland Police Department (California), Mikhail retired due to injury.

“A lot has happened in these 17 years,” recalls Mikhail. – I retired due to a combination of various injuries, injuries, accidents, falls … Because when you work on patrol on the street, something physical happens all the time. It happens that you need to run, jump over fences, climb roofs, attics, basements. When I was a forensic scientist, I still worked on patrol, helping patrol officers to detain criminals. There were two or three major accidents when they just pulled me out of the car. In total, this gave such a result that they said: “That’s it, due to health reasons, you can no longer work at full strength.” And you can’t work half-heartedly.

Mikhail Lapidus, Dmitry Puchkov / Photo: vk.com

During this time, the officer managed to work as a patrolman, forensic specialist and head of the children’s room in the Oakland police – one of the most criminal cities in the United States. He started running his channel in 2010, and the well-known blogger and translator Dmitry Puchkov, aka Goblin, pushed him to this.

“We got to know him interestingly, on the Internet,” says Mikhail Lapidus. — I have been his viewer for a long time, I watched his videos on YouTube a lot. I was still in the USA at that time, and in one of the videos Dmitry Yuryevich said that, in America, the police are killing blacks, something like that. And I wrote to him: “Hello, I am your viewer, I work in the US police. I disagree with you a little, I can tell you how it actually works.”

Upon receiving this message, Puchkov invited Mikhail to a meeting and recorded an interview for his channel.

– I came once, twice, three times, our interviews got many, many views. As a result, he told me: “Stop coming here, shoot yourself!”. And so I started blogging,” our interlocutor shared.

Now there are more than 70 thousand subscribers on the channel of Mikhail Lapidus. A few years ago, he returned to Russia, and now he regularly meets with his viewers in person. And recently, he even starred in a science fiction film by St. Petersburg director Alexei Talyzin “Something for Nothing”.

A neo-noir fantasy film based on Robert Sheckley’s short story “For Nothing” was filmed entirely in St. Petersburg, despite the fact that the plot is set in the United States.

– Alexey Talyzin – a very talented director. I really liked how the work on the film went,” said Mikhail Lapidus. – They contacted me, at first they wanted to ask me to be a consultant, that is, just to show them how, roughly speaking, to put on handcuffs correctly, as we do in America, how to read rights and all sorts of such trifles. We even filmed a video where I explain to them how to do it all. And after a while, I was offered to play a small role there, to practically play myself.

The blogger especially liked the high-quality scenery, like two drops of water similar to the real “nature”:

— There were scenery of the hospital, and there was an impression that, yes, I ended up in the hospital. I have been to different hospitals in the USA – yes, everything was done perfectly. A cafe was built from scratch on level ground, such that you can’t distinguish it from the real one. It looks like everything is happening on the outskirts of Los Angeles, with the San Bernardino desert behind … I have not seen this in Hollywood. But they shoot on location there, you don’t have to go far, you drive for half an hour – and here is nature. And here everything was done with amazing scenery and special effects.

But filming a movie, writing memoirs, a successful blog and meeting with fans are all the fruits of many years of service, which there is something to remember.

Some of the most difficult memories for Mikhail are associated with miracles

— I came to 9:00 p.m. and worked on juvenile delinquents until 07:00 a.m. At the same time, I also dealt with missing people,” our interlocutor recalls.

True, he encountered crimes against children in all his positions. And often, unfortunately, minors are just “expendable”.

— Children are very often used by adults to avoid responsibility themselves. For example, there are entire families where adults force their children to sell drugs. Because when an 11-12-year-old child sells drugs, if he is caught, he will most likely get nothing. Not only will we let him go, we will detain him, we will issue him, but he will be released from the children’s court, they will not be imprisoned, – says Mikhail Lapidus. “For such people, this is just a way to make money.

There are even worse situations, and they are by no means rare:

— Children are used for prostitution. Young children do not always understand what is happening. For them, if an adult said, then everything is fine. Sometimes. Some, of course, understand and do it consciously, but some do not. For them, it’s a game, a big game. Plus, again, money.

According to a former Oakland police officer, in addition to their own parents, American pop culture also has a great influence on children in the United States. It largely contributes to the romanticization of crime.

– When a child watches all sorts of videos on the Internet and on TV, in which, roughly speaking, the gangster lifestyle is promoted: gold teeth, wads of money, expensive cars, bang-bang – they see it, and for them this is already the norm. This is also of great importance and has a great influence on them. How to deal with it? We don’t know, we can’t fight it, this is the task of parents,” Mikhail throws up his hands. — And parents, unfortunately, sometimes add to this problem: either they don’t watch children at all, or they use children for their own purposes.

In almost 17 years of service in the Oakland police, the blogger reflects, he did not notice a serious increase in the negative influence of pop culture on children and adolescents – not because everything was normal, but because this influence was felt just as pernicious in the late 90s. But sometimes terrible things happen to children, regardless of their age, behavior and values ​​instilled by the TV:

— Very often, unfortunately, children become victims. And not even because they are the goal, but by chance.

Mikhail Lapidus recalled one similar incident that occurred during his service in the USA:

— There was a shootout next to a small Mexican cafe on wheels. They tried to rob him, but the seller refused to give the money, and they opened fire on him. And a little boy, 6-8 years old, played for the cafe, and he died. Such things have always been hard to experience, and not only by me. All officers are people, and this is sometimes reflected very harshly.

– In the first or second year after I arrived ( in US ), there was an earthquake in Los Angeles,” the ex-cop shared. — When buildings started to crumble, glass broke, what was the first thing people did? Run to save someone? No, they ran to rob banks, shops, cars. Shop windows were broken, alarms were howling all over the city, there were a lot of calls – and they robbed everything that was possible, instantly, within an hour after the earthquake.

Mikhail Lapidus recalled this situation in the context of increasing pressure on the police in the United States associated with the strengthening of various social movements, including Black Lives Matter. Many in the United States are in favor of reducing the police force, and this trend has developed a “permissive feeling” among criminals in recent years, the blogger noted.

– We can do much less now than we could when I started working. Not in the sense that the laws have changed – the laws have not changed, but the way they look at the work of the police, condemn, discuss … We are practically pointed at a microscope. And some of my colleagues, I can’t say that they were afraid, but they didn’t do their job to the fullest, so that it looked good, and not as it should. And when you do the job right, it doesn’t always look good on camera,” the former policeman admitted. – But you can’t do anything about it, it’s part of your job.

After stories about the deaths of African Americans George Floyd, who was allegedly killed by a policeman during his arrest, and teenager Trayvon Martin, many in the United States began to advocate for a reduction in police funding.

– Somewhere they say that we need to remove funding altogether and close our departments – come on, they did it in Seattle, and what did it lead to? The city is almost gone. There is a combat zone, roughly speaking, – the ex-policeman shares. – Any social or political movement, I think, should have some clear goals, tasks, but they cannot formulate anything there and it is not clear what it is about. But they seem to achieve some of their goals. I talked with friends, discussed all this, people there often do not understand what is happening at all – both in political life, and in cities, on the streets. Something terrible is going on, really.

Mikhail Lapidus also remembered another story from the past:

— Once in the city of Boston, many, many years ago, the police union went on strike because they were given such working conditions that it was impossible to work. In three days, Boston was practically razed to the ground! Only the firebrands remained, figuratively speaking. There was something absolutely terrible going on. And now the so-called public figures are striving for this very thing: cut the police, close departments, and so on.

The blogger noted that throughout his career as a police officer, he never found a moment when the police force would be fully staffed.

Photo: vk.com/Mikhail Lapidus

– In Auckland, we once hired a special commission from a company that deals with logistics and statistics specifically in the field of law and order. They analyze the crime rate in the city, the number of crimes, demographics, trends, and write a list of tips for the city authorities – what they need to improve the situation in the city, and how much police is adequate for a city of this size. It was about 20 years ago, they came, inspected and said that in Auckland, for everything to function normally, at least 2,500 officers are needed. There were 600 of us.

The most common crimes in Auckland were burglaries and car thefts, said Mikhail Lapidus. Moreover, during the day they broke into houses while people were at work, and at night they broke into business centers and other work points while employees were sleeping. Break-ins, our interlocutor noted, took place several hundred per day.

— Cars are more often stolen not to dismantle, resell, but often just to ride, — said the blogger. – You just steal a car instead of a taxi, drive as long as you need, leave, go on business. This was also very common. Cars ( to US ) are generally easy to steal. They even showed us at the Academy that some old cars could be hacked with just a straw from McDonald’s. And start with nail scissors. And therefore, from infancy to old age, many people do this.

However, sometimes cars in America “saw” with pleasure – this is called chop shop, our interlocutor noted, from the word chop – “chopping”. True, cars are not only stolen a lot, but also found a lot – after the “taxi drivers” who abandoned them.

Sometimes it’s just as easy to “enclose” a business center, Mikhail recalls:

— Some character enters large buildings in the city center in the evening, hides there with a backpack, there are a lot of nooks and crannies, stairs, and at night he just walks through the offices, collects laptops. They stole several dozens of them during the night.

Sometimes there were robberies – and here, given the right of US citizens to keep and bear arms, various situations happened:

– I had a case, then I trained one novice forensic specialist. We had a call, they asked us to come to the mountains. In Auckland, part of the city is on the hills. And there granny worked for a robber for 70 years. A man broke into her house, she had such a Colt, and she worked on it. True, she didn’t hit, he ran away. She has the right, by law. We were a little shocked, because the grandmother was God’s dandelion: with a haircut, makeup, earrings, small, thin, more than 70 years old . .. And a huge Colt. They laughed, took fingerprints, like, then they even found ( offender ).

Rallies in the USA are sometimes not so fun. Of course, there is nothing terrible in this phenomenon as such – as long as people do not cross the boundaries of reason.

— There are permitted and unauthorized gatherings, authorized and unauthorized. It is not so difficult to obtain permission for a meeting there, you need to submit a paper to the mayor’s office and indicate where it will take place. Accordingly, no one will let you block the main street in the city. This is fine. When ( rally ) legal, a couple of officers will keep order, an ambulance will be on duty, suddenly someone becomes ill in the heat,” said Mikhail Lapidus.

Photo: Ron Adar/globallookpress.com

But rallies are not always limited to flowers at the muzzle of guns:

– And rallies that end in riots are no longer rallies, they are already criminal acts committed by a group of individuals. And when they start burning cars there, breaking shop windows, beating people – how should one react? We are trying to arrest them, at least to clear the territory from them and all that. Something similar happened to us all the time,” the ex-policeman recalled. “It even happened that meetings that were initially allowed, then turned into this. Then the police announces through the loudspeaker that your rally is already becoming illegal, and people should disperse. And if they don’t diverge, they automatically get the article.

Mikhail Lapidus admitted that police service often has a very bad effect on the psyche and emotional state:

— All officers are people, and this is sometimes reflected harshly. Some people start drinking because you see the worst in people. And even if you don’t understand how deeply it can hurt you, after a while it can overtake someone: everything seems to be fine, your career is going uphill, and suddenly a person starts drinking too much, often going to a bar. And you look – that’s it, the career went downhill, the person drowns all his worries and stress, begins to drink alcohol heavily.

Mikhail himself was helped to cope with such impressions by his “sparing memory”:

– It blocks many things that I don’t want to remember. Because of this, I have problems with the book. I am writing a book, and often at some point I just stop. I have a block, I don’t want to describe ( what happened ). Sometimes I break it, but it doesn’t always work, and the book has a hard time moving forward because of it.

Nevertheless, by the end of the coming summer, Mikhail Lapidus plans to finish his book about service in California, or rather, the first of three.

“Shine Like a Star” / OrthoChristian.Ru

Late in the evening of November 19, 2009 at
the Moscow church of the Apostle Thomas on Kantemirovskaya was
killed
priest Daniil Sysoev
: masked unknown
entered the temple and shot him point-blank.

I knew Father Daniel for ten years – since October 1999
of the year. We met at a conference where both
performed. He called me the day before, and on the very day
speeches, I saw a person walking in front of me in
cassock, and immediately realized that this was the same
“Deacon Daniil Sysoev,” with whom I spoke
phone.

There was something in his voice and in his walk that expressed
its uniqueness and made it possible to unmistakably recognize even in
crowd, even from the back, even to an almost stranger.

Shortly before his death, in an interview, Father Daniel
said: “We must walk with God, as
The Lord about Enoch: “Enoch walked with God, and God
took him”. This is walking with God
mission root.

Father Daniel always “walked before God.” And although
it is, first of all, the state of the soul, wholly aspiring to
God, but it found its expression even literally
– in his gait, speech, not to mention actions and
words.

He walked easily, like a man who knows where and why
walks, who is calm in the present and does not worry about
future, because he entrusted all his worries to the Lord, who
close to him as a Loving Father.

During these ten years, I heard many times from Father Daniel that
he would like to die as a martyr. I’m afraid now from my words
it doesn’t sound like it came out of his mouth. In his
there was no gloomy solemnity in speeches about martyrdom,
no painful exaltation; he said it simply
joyfully, and when I heard it, I experienced the same feeling of embarrassment and
bewilderment, which he also experienced when he read in
the messages of Hieromartyr Ignatius the God-bearer about his ardent
desire to suffer for Christ. The same spirit was in
one and the other, but I did not understand either one or the other.

I remember how a couple of years ago in Macedonia, where we were together
arrived, I brought Father Daniel to the amphitheater of the ancient
the city of Bitola. In the days of the Roman Empire, here for fun
a crowd of pagans were fed to the beasts of people. On the sides
amphitheater, two small rooms have been preserved in which
kept the beasts before releasing them into the arena, and
center – one closet in human growth, from where
the condemned went out to be torn to pieces. It is known for sure
that in this amphitheater they accepted death for
Christ several martyrs of the early Church. And I told my father
Daniel: “Here, father, you can stand where you stood
martyrs before going out on a feat. And he entered this
dark closet. I remember how he stood in it and looked from there
into the sky.

Probably, with the same concentrated calmness, he
looked at his killer. To be honest, I’ve been thinking about
Did the father get scared at the last moment? Because I
would be scared. And so I asked the only eyewitness,
who saw the murder with his own eyes: what did his father do
Daniel, when, coming out of the altar, he saw a man in a mask with
gun in hand? And he heard: “He went to him.
Right on him.”

Priest Daniil Sysoev was born on January 12, 1974.
He was baptized at the age of three. Brought up in
church family. I remember he told me about dear
childhood memories: how his mother read his lives to him at night
saints.

He was a conscious believer from childhood, which
proceeded even under the godless communist regime.
There is a well-known story when in a Soviet school
an atheist teacher put him in front of the whole class and with
mockingly began to say: “Here, guys! Danila
Turns out we believe in God. Maybe you also pray
You know?”. And the boy answered firmly: “Yes, in
I believe God! And I know the prayers!

Batiushka took faith seriously from a very young age.
According to him, from the age of 12 he is even with his parents, if they
presented him with any fundamental demands,
asked for their biblical justification, and if he received it, then
performed without question. This already reflected
his main desire is always and in everything to recognize the will
God and follow it. He preferred God to everything
the rest, and the will of God – every other.

I know many good priests in Russia, but never
met with us a man who would be so strong, ardent and
selflessly loved God, like Father Daniel. Just
shortly before his death, being on one of
categorical conversations of the priest, I thought that only deeply
a loving person can never stop talking two with
half an hour about God and only about God, and to speak in such a way that
the audience listens without moving for two and a half hours.

Back in Soviet times, he sang on the kliros, and after graduation
schools at 1991 entered the Moscow Spiritual
seminary. He told me that he always wanted to be
a priest, and did not represent himself as anyone else. This
desire originated in childhood, when he experienced a clinical
death and saw an angel who brought his soul back to
body.

In 1995 Father Daniel got married, graduated from seminary and was
ordained deacon. From that moment it began
extensive preaching and missionary activity. He
taught the law of God in the senior classes of the Orthodox
Gymnasium “Yasenevo” I remember one of his
stories about that time. He once gave the students a topic for
essay “What will be left after me? What will I take from
yourself?” And some parents came to him later
indignant: “Is it possible to give children such
Topics? They don’t need to be reminded of death. ” What does he
answered: “What, is your child immortal?”.
Father Daniel was convinced that since the death of none of
we can’t be avoided, we need to approach it properly
prepare, and for this a Christian has everything
necessary, and the sooner you start preparing, the better.

Since 1996, Father Daniel began to conduct missionary talks on
Krutitsy Compound, was an associate of Father Anatoly
(Berestova) in the Counseling Center named after him
Righteous John of Kronstadt. He met and
talked with sectarians and occultists, preaching to them and
converting them to Orthodoxy.

Apart from Father Daniel, I do not know another person who
could boldly enter any audience and start a conversation with
a person of any religious views – and at the same time
he always had something to say on the merits. He was true
missionary and loved to tell people about Christ, loved,
when from the lamp of his soul other souls were kindled with fire
gospel joy.

Batiushka greatly revered his heavenly patron –
prophet Daniel, and just from him received a missionary
aspiration, as he himself told me. Sometime while reading
the book of the prophet Daniel, the priest drew attention to the words:
“And the prudent will shine like the luminaries in the firmament, and
who turned many to the truth – like stars, forever,
forever” (Dan. 12:3). “And I thought,
he said, – and it’s great: to shine like
star!”.

I know that he did the Jesus Prayer, considered very
it is important to take communion often – having prepared properly
way – and constantly read the Bible, which,
seems to have largely known by heart. Prayer,
the Eucharist and the word of God – these were for him
three main foundations of mission.

During his lifetime, he baptized more than 80 Muslims and converted to
Orthodoxy about 500 Protestants.

Father Daniel went to Protestant meetings and
preached there about Orthodoxy on the basis of the Bible,
participated in public disputes with the Old Believers, with
neo-pagans, but he was best known as
missionary among Muslims and polemist with Islam.

He received threatening letters and calls from Muslims. Behind
a year and a half before the assassination, Muslim journalist H.
Khamidullina filed a complaint against him with the prosecutor’s office
demand to file a lawsuit for inciting interreligious and
interethnic hatred. The prosecutor’s office denied
initiating a case, but in the Muslim media it was promoted
a real campaign to denigrate Father Daniel –
Orthodox people do not know about this, because, according to understandable
reasons, not familiar with the Muslim media.

More recently, just three days before the murder, father
Daniel drove me home by car, and we laughed
reminiscing about ten years ago. Father Daniel
said that of all religions, the least interesting to him
there was always Islam and he did not intend to use it at all
study. I also recalled our old conversation when we
were returning from the Krutitsy Compound and he rejoiced,
learning that I write apologetic articles in response to
Muslim criticism: “That’s good, so I don’t
will have to deal with it. ” But the Lord then through one
coincidence, then through another arranged so that
he had to deal with Muslims or the topic
Islam, and Father Daniel went where the Lord indicated. This
was the most important thing for him.

In 2000 he graduated from the Moscow Theological Academy and
successfully defended his thesis on the topic “Anthropology
Jehovah’s Witnesses and Seventh Day Adventists. She
later published as a separate book. He also wrote a series
other works. “Walking with a Protestant through
Orthodox Church” is a unique work, in
which, on the basis of the Bible, explains the structure and
decoration of an Orthodox church and Orthodox worship.
“Chronicle of the beginning” and ““ Who is like
God?”, or How long was the day of creation?
devoted, as he himself said, to the defense of the patristic
doctrine of the creation of the world. In them Father Daniel explains,
why can’t an orthodox christian adhere to
evolutionary theory.

“Marriage with a Muslim” – a book,
dedicated to one of the most painful issues
coexistence of Christians and Muslims in our country.
The impetus for its emergence was the fact that I am on the site
“Orthodoxy and Islam” opened a section
“Question to the priest”, where you could ask
question to father Daniel. And I was struck by the abundance
letters from baptized women who are or were about to go out
marry Muslims and asked if it was permissible from the point of view
of the Church, or have already entered into such a marriage and
encountered some problems in resolving
who were asked for advice. Moreover, in the pastoral
practice, Father Daniel had to meet with such
Russian women who, under the influence of such marriages,
renounced Christ and converted to Islam, and then, having suffered
in a Muslim marriage and realizing his fall, with the help of
priests came to repentance and return to the Church. All
this prompted Father Daniel to write a book in which
he exhaustively considers the indicated question, recalling,
that, according to the rules of the Church, an Orthodox person does not
it is permissible to marry or be married to a non-Christian, and
giving concrete advice on problems that arise,
if such a marriage is still concluded. The father also had
one related brochure – “Married to
unbeliever?”

In addition, Father Daniel published the book “Why are you still
not baptized?”, in which the most typical
objections to baptism that can be heard from the mouth
the most ordinary people. For those who are baptized but
unchurched, he wrote the pamphlet Why
go to church every Sunday? And for the people
churched – the book “On the frequent communion
Mysteries of Christ”, which we wrote with him in
co-authorship.

Shortly before his death, he told me that the most for him
dearest and favorite of his books is “Conversations on
book of the Song of Songs, compiled from notes
Bible talks that he led for many years, explaining
Holy Scripture based on patristic interpretations.

Finally, his most recent book –
“Instruction for Immortals, or What to do if you
still died…” It also contains these words:
“The best death for a Christian, of course,
martyr for Christ the Savior. This is the very best
death, which is possible for a person in principle.
Some sent condolences to Optina Pustyn after
the murders of three monks; for a Christian, it really is
the greatest joy. Never in the ancient Church
no condolences were sent when someone was killed somewhere.
All churches always sent congratulations immediately.
Imagine congratulating them on having a new
Protector in Heaven! Martyrdom washes away everything
sins, except heresy and schism…”

Quite a few, even among those who did not agree with him
on any issues, were surprised and admired his
courage. Most recently, after the funeral, I called
familiar priest and told how he saw the footage where the father
Daniel stands alone in an auditorium filled with Muslims and
from the pulpit joyfully tells them about Christ and that Islam,
who rejects the God-man Christ cannot be true
religion. “It’s not in my head,
the interlocutor told me. What kind of heart
one must have to go like this and stand among them and
speak!”.

The footage that my friend saw was taken on the first
dispute with Muslims. Some Orthodox were
dissatisfied with the fact that Father Daniel in these disputes
participated, but the initiative did not belong to him:
the Muslims publicly invited him. And how could a witness
Christ refuse to give an account of his hope? His refusal
would be an argument for them in their propaganda of Islam.

Father Daniel told me later that he was sure that
he would be killed immediately after the first dispute, and the day before
experienced intense fear and anxiety. And at night he was
vision. He saw himself standing in front of a laid out
labyrinths of pebbles, such as are found in the north. And passing through
his circles, came to the center, where the altar was, on
where the just tortured and murdered victim lay. And he
realized that this is the altar of Satan, to whom the
victim. Father Daniel was seized with anger, and he overturned with his foot
altar. Satan himself appeared in the form of the Joker in
clownish cap, as it is depicted on playing
maps. There was wild hatred in his eyes, and he rushed
to Father Daniel. The father began to pray: “Most Holy
Mother of God, protect! Saint Nicholas, help! And
other saints. And then, in front of Father Daniel, it was as if she had grown
invisible wall, so that Satan rushed at him, but did not
could overcome it and bounce back time after time. Looking
to this, the father allowed conceited thoughts into himself, and at that
At the same moment, Satan broke through an invisible wall and grabbed him by the
throat. Father Daniel prayed: “Holy Mother of God,
forgive me, I have sinned, deliver me from him.” Then
Satan disappeared, and Father Daniel was told about the upcoming
debate: “You won’t lose, but you won’t win either.”

“That’s how it happened,” he told me.
Father Daniel. And he added that after this vision
ceased to be afraid of Muslims and their threats, because, seeing
Satan himself and his powerlessness before God, it is no longer possible
be impressed by any human malice, which is always
yields to satanic malice.

And during the second dispute, I, together with my father Oleg
Stenyaev was among Father Daniil’s assistants.
It seems to me that the dispute went well (although, of course, it could
go even better). It is noteworthy that after it they accepted
Orthodoxy some Muslims who helped in
organizing these debates.

Himself being half Tatar (by mother), Father Daniel
paid special attention to the dissemination and strengthening
Orthodoxy among the Tatar people. He became the first and
seems to be the only priest who, with the blessing
hierarchies, began to regularly serve prayers at
Tatar language (partly) for Orthodox Tatars, published
for his money, a prayer book in Tatar. Together with their
as assistants, he went with a sermon and to Sabantuy (Tatar
national holiday), and to the Tatar cultural center; V
Egypt, he spent hours preaching to his Muslim guide,
on television argued about faith with muftis.

He gained notoriety among Muslims
– she frightened and embarrassed some Orthodox, but
only not Father Daniel himself. He said that this
fame helps him in his mission, and it was true.
Because those Muslims who had at least a weak
interest in Christianity, found out in this way, to whom they
you have to go – and they were not mistaken, because they could always
be greeted with love and hear answers to all their
questions. There were Muslims who came to him to
convert him to Islam, and as a result they themselves accepted from
him baptism.

Among those who call themselves Orthodox, I have met such
strange people who say he shouldn’t have
to preach to Muslims what should be done with respect
treat their religion that no good of it
no sermon. But Father Daniel believed – like
Lord, and the apostles, and all the saints – what to respect
erring people are needed, but not their delusions. True
one, and that which contradicts and denies truth is
falsehood, and respect for falsehood is contempt for truth. This
a simple thing cannot be understood by all those to whom the truth
indifferent, so they did not understand Father Daniel either, although,
maybe they owe him their lives. Father was able to turn to
Christ a number of Wahhabis, including one Pakistani,
who was going to become a “shaheed”, and one
a woman who was being prepared to become a “suicide bomber”.
And what, really, it would really be better if the father
Daniel did not preach to these people, and they, remaining on
the same way, they would blow up a plane, a house, or a train in the subway
– perhaps just the one in which someone would ride
of Father Daniel’s critics?

Even more successfully he preached to Protestants. When he,
with the blessing of Metropolitan Vladimir, came along with
with his missionaries to Kyrgyzstan and began to visit there
Protestant congregations and convert them so that even pastors
were among those joined to Orthodoxy, then the local heads
sects, not being able to resist him in a word,
decided to forbid their people to gather at all
all the time while Father Daniel is in the country. So they
tried to prevent him from coming to their meetings with
preaching, abolishing the meetings themselves.

Father Daniel was very concerned about the mission throughout the world. Together
with him we went twice to Macedonia and preached
the schismatics there. Father Daniel investigated the question of
how to preach to Catholics in Western Europe and
In South America. In December 2009, he hoped to travel to
Thailand to preach to the northern tribes. Myself
as a missionary, he loved the missionaries very much and tried to
meet all who preach Christ. Very
he helped many. He gave money for the construction of the temple in
Indonesia, donated to the upbringing of Orthodox children from
poor families in Zimbabwe, hosted Orthodox
Chinese, Orthodox Thais, even Orthodox Indians.
With the blessing of Patriarch Alexy II, Father Daniel created
school of Orthodox missionaries. Also taught
Missiology at the Nikolo-Perervinskaya Theological Seminary.

And, surprisingly, his active missionary
activity did not in the least interfere with his parish labors and
duties. In 2001 he was ordained a priest.
In 2006, the priest built a small wooden church in
the name of the Apostle Thomas in the south of Moscow (whose rector
was) and wanted to eventually build here a huge
temple-basilica in honor of his heavenly patron, the prophet
Daniel. As he told me, this idea is for him to build
the basilica – came to mind during a visit
Church of the Holy Great Martyr Demetrius in Thessaloniki.

In the temple, Father Daniel led Bible conversations every Thursday,
explaining to the parishioners one chapter of the Old Testament and one
head of the New in the light of patristic teaching, each
Friday – Announcements that were supposed to
listen to every adult who wants to be baptized, and every
Sunday – Sunday school for children. Wishing
so that people could better understand worship, he published texts
all-night vigil and liturgy and made it a duty
on duty to distribute them to people in the temple before each service.
He also introduced popular singing. As a result, parishioners
thanked him for being able to finally understand the meaning
what is sung in the temple. Father served very
concentrated, especially in the last year, and loved
preach. During the service he delivered two or three sermons.

One of my friends, an altar boy in the church of Father Daniel,
shortly before the death of the father confessed to me that
wonders how without a trace and without mercy to himself
he gives himself to other people, especially parishioners.

Indeed, he did not feel sorry for himself. I remember once he broke
leg, but the dean did not give him a priest to replace him. AND
then Father Daniel, with his leg in a cast, went to the temple himself and
served through pain. All parishioners and all acquaintances
Father Daniel is remembered as a cheerful and
cheerful, but few people know how often he endured
grief from illnesses, especially from severe headaches and from
heart pain. But the priest did not show his suffering and
was always attentive to the numerous parishioners, each
listened and gave advice.

Of course, Father Daniel also had weaknesses, but even his
shortcomings, so to speak, in some way
stemmed from his merit. As a Christian he was
open to everyone, and this had its downside
some excessive credulity, the victim of which he sometimes
became when he happened to trust those people or
books that, in my opinion, should not be trusted. IN
When it comes to matters of faith, Batiushka was very
careful, but as far as some other
questions, such as history, he could trust just
such sources. Related to this, for example, is
attitude towards World War II
under the influence of books by V. Rezun. On this issue, we have repeatedly
discussed with him.

I must say, the priest never imposed dictatorial
his views to those who were near him. He always
listened carefully to objections, if any.
essence, and often corrected his views if
saw that they were not true. He often invited
me and other people whom he trusted to discuss those
or other thoughts and ask if he is mistaken. If
he understood that he was wrong, then it was not a problem for him
admit it and give up erroneous thoughts, because
he most of all valued the truth, and not his own thoughts, and respectfully
treated every person who was near.

With Father Daniel it was easy to fulfill the rule of the blessed
Augustine; “In the main unity, in the secondary
diversity, in everything – love. Second point
was possible with him precisely because for Father Daniel
were an immutable reality, the first and third points of this
maxims.

Another feature that seemed to many to be his
defect and which came precisely from the fiery
Father Daniel’s love for the truth was a categorical form
submission of thoughts. On every issue, the father tried
get to the bottom of the truth, and if he managed to get to the bottom,
he expressed this truth directly and definitely. In our
in the politically correct world, such frankness was like a witticism
a beam that pierces the darkness. Someone so honest harshness
attracted, and someone, on the contrary, repelled.

I myself did not always agree with the form of presentation of his thoughts.
For example, the discussion about Ouranopolitism, initiated by him in
last year of life. In principle, in essence Father Daniel
expounded nothing but the doctrine of the Church, saying that
the heavenly is more important than the earthly, that belonging to the Church
more important than nationality, because in it “there is no
neither Greek nor Jew … but everything and in everything
Christ” (Col. 3:11), that all the saints
“they said about themselves that they were strangers and strangers on
earth; for those who say so show that they
looking for a fatherland. And if they had that fatherland in their thoughts,
from which they came, they would have had time to return; but they
strived for the best, that is, for the heavenly; therefore God is not
ashamed of them, calling himself their God: for he has prepared for them
city” (Heb. 11:13-16). And that we all
Christians, also on earth “aliens and
strangers” (1 Pet. 2:11) and “we do not have here
a permanent city, but we are looking for the future” (Heb. 13:14),
for “our residence is in heaven” (Phil.
3:20). There was no mistake here. But here with
the need to introduce a special term I was not with my father
Daniel agrees, as well as the term itself seemed to me
dissonant, and the form of expression of this truth, it was thought
I could be softer.

Although, strictly speaking, those who fiercely argued with him in
Internet, either disagreed on the merits, or
were not at all interested in the essence of the matter. It’s worth saying
that after the death of the father, I learned that even in the term
he was not an innovator: the word “Uranopolite”
(ouranopolitis) is found in many holy fathers, in
In particular, Saint John Chrysostom uses it five
once.

On the day of Father Daniel’s funeral, one of his opponents told me
confessed: “It was now that I began to understand everything
that my father wrote about Ouranopolitism, because very
I wanted to go where he went.

Father Daniel was a deeply decent and honest man.
Batiushka was one of those about whom it was possible to know in advance that
if you need something, you just need to contact, and he will not
refuse. For me, he was a model priest. Everything he
did, he consecrated to Christ, created in His name.

I have many personal memories. I remember how he
visited me when I was in the hospital. I remember how I took
show me your daughter Dorothea when she was only two
or three days old. I remember teaching me how to drive.

I remember our travels, and especially the last – in
Serbia, from where we returned only a week before
martyrdom. During this trip, he confessed
me that when it becomes especially difficult for him or when
life circumstances are unbearable, he always
feels as if he is in a huge hand, which
guides him through all troubles.

The very last day of Father Daniel’s earthly life began with
liturgy, which he celebrated and at which, of course,
took communion. Then he joined the Orthodox Church
a woman who came from the Old Believers. Then committed
baptism. A few hours later he began, as usual, to lead
Bible talks, after which he talked late into the night with
by everyone. Finally, when there is almost no one in the temple
left, went to the altar to confess his spiritual child.
At this time, a murderer burst into the temple, who began to shoot
and shout out: “Where is Sysoev?” Father Daniel
fearlessly walked out of the altar to meet him and accepted
martyrdom for Christ.

I remember that the priest spoke more than once about how it turns out
it is no coincidence that all the gospel readings read in
liturgical conceptions, as always they are on
surprisingly timely and relevant.

On the day of his death, an ordinary gospel reading contained
these words of the Lord: “I say to you, my friends:
do not be afraid of those who kill the body and then can do nothing more
do… I tell you, everyone who confesses
Me before men, and the Son of Man will confess before
angels of God.

Why? “Reading to your kindergartener as much as possible will increase the probability of your child’s school success,” says Denise Daniels, RN, MS, child development expert and creator of the Moodsters. “It helps children’s brain development and builds key language and social skills.

Adaptation to kindergarten is now necessarily told at parent-teacher meetings before the first of September. Everyone is included in the process: psychologists, educators and parents.

A small child experiences real great stress, because he has to change his usual home environment for a new environment. But parents, whose experiences are passed on to children, are no less worried.

Experts advise adults to “breathe in and out” and let go of the situation a little to begin with. In most cases, fears are dictated by the unknown, which is quite realistic to overcome with the help of books that explain, encourage and support.

All about kindergarten for parents

What does a child need in kindergarten, what is his daily routine, how is interaction with teachers built? All these questions are asked by parents who first encounter an educational institution. The books “The child goes to kindergarten” by the publishing house “Sphere” and “It’s time to go to kindergarten. Self-instruction manual for parents” published by “Phoenix” will help to dispel fears and doubts, and at the same time will give detailed answers to the questions: how to choose a kindergarten? what professionals work in the garden? what will the child be taught?

It would seem that the documents for the garden have been submitted, organizational issues have been resolved, but the excitement remains. What if the child in the garden does not like it? Your own negative experiences in childhood can also increase anxiety. Then you should turn to books written by experienced psychologists, especially for parents.

And it also seems to Vovka that the garden is “grandfather’s”, which means that he will have to sit with his grandfathers all day. But everything turns out differently. At first, Vovka is really a little embarrassed and scared, but curiosity is stronger, and soon Vovka finds friends, and the kindergarten becomes a place of real adventure!

“Fox Masya goes to kindergarten” – another help book for preparing a child was written by a practicing fairy tale therapist Irina Terentyeva. Here are collected fascinating tales about the fox Masya and his friends, as well as interesting tasks that the baby can complete on his own or with the help of his parents.

By the way, books with tasks and stickers, coloring pages dedicated to the theme of kindergarten, interaction with friends, rules of conduct and daily routine are a great addition to fairy tales. One of these “Let’s go to kindergarten!” about Teddy bear with stickers and dominoes.

When to read kindergarten books to your child? The earlier the better. After all, the main task of such books is the gradual preparation of the baby for a new regime, new friends and new activities. But the most important thing, which psychologists and teachers tirelessly repeat, is the calmness and goodwill of parents.

Can allergies in toddlers cause fever: Does Your Child Have Allergies, RSV or COVID-19?

Does Your Child Have Allergies, RSV or COVID-19?

Editor’s note: This article originally ran September 2, 2021, and was updated October 27, 2022.

Fall has always meant more sniffles, colds and flu, but these days parents have a lot more to worry about. There are still colds and flu, of course, but also COVID-19, which continues to circulate, and RSV, which is spiking much earlier than normal this year.

“Fall time has always been prime time for illness because kids are getting back together after spending the summer apart, and the close quarters at school make it very easy for them to start transmitting all kinds of infections and viruses to each other,” says UNC Health allergist Edwin Kim, MD. “This was less of a problem over the past couple of years with masking and social distancing, but with people much less likely to wear masks this fall, and the fact that the immune systems of many children may be less primed to fight infection without them having the usual exposures during the pandemic, we could be in for a really tough time this fall and winter.

Public health officials are reporting a spike in RSV cases and hospitalizations in many parts of the country. Respiratory syncytial virus is a common childhood illness that generally causes mild, cold-like symptoms but can be serious, especially for infants. While RSV typically occurs in colder months, current cases of the illness have been severe enough to require many children to be hospitalized.

All of this has Dr. Kim concerned as a physician and a father—but also as an expert in pediatric allergies, because those are going full-throttle too.

Fall allergies can cause symptoms that are similar to symptoms of RSV:

  • Sneezing
  • Wheezing
  • Coughing
  • Runny nose or nasal congestion
  • Itchy, watery eyes

Of course, several of those symptoms are also indicative of a possible COVID-19 infection. It’s a lot to wade through for any parent, which is why talking to your child’s doctor is always a good idea.

In the meantime, here are four ways to tell the difference between allergies, RSV and other infections such as a cold, the flu or COVID-19:

1. Allergies won’t cause a fever.

The symptoms of RSV, fall allergies and COVID-19 can look very similar with one major exception—a fever.

“Allergies, RSV, COVID and other viral infections can cause significant runny nose, congestion, eye irritation and cough as well,” Dr. Kim says. “So, on the surface, they’ll look very, very similar. One very clear difference is going to be fever. Allergies should not cause any type of temperature at all. If parents detect a fever of 100 or higher, that is an infection as opposed to allergies.”

2. A hallmark of allergies is itchiness.

Allergies typically cause very itchy eyes, itchy nose, maybe even itchy skin.

“An infection may be a little itchy or irritating as well, but this will be very minor compared to the significant congestion, cough and other symptoms that they are having,” Dr. Kim says.

In other words, with allergies, one of the most common symptoms is itchiness, while in infections such as RSV, itchiness in the eyes and nose can occur but other symptoms such as congestion and cough are most noticeable. For example, in a child with allergies what will be most noticeable will be how much they are rubbing his or her eyes and nose and sniffling and clearing their throat. With infections, they might rub their nose a little, but it will be the significant congestion and coughing, as well as fever, that will be most noticeable.

3. Symptoms of allergies last longer than symptoms of RSV.

Usually RSV and other viral infections clear up after one to two weeks.

“If it’s allergies, you are probably looking at least a couple of months’ worth of symptoms or at least until the season ends,” Dr. Kim says.

Fall allergy season usually starts in September and lasts until the first hard frost, which can be December or sometimes even later.

4. Allergy medicine won’t help with symptoms of RSV or other viral infections.

If you think your child has allergies and give him or her allergy medicine and it has little effect on his or her symptoms within 12 to 24 hours, your child might have a viral infection.

“An antihistamine that you can get over the counter should do really well for allergies but likely would have very little effect on infection,” Dr. Kim says. “So, if you have a kid who’s got a lot of those symptoms like a really bad runny nose and cough, and Zyrtec and Benadryl aren’t touching it, it may be because it’s not allergies—it’s an infection.”

If your child has cold-like symptoms and you’re not sure what it is, your child’s doctor can help you figure it out. Don’t send your child to school or other social settings until you’re sure it’s “just” allergies.


If your child isn’t feeling well, talk to your pediatrician or find one near you.

Even though it’s commonly known as “hay fever,” allergic rhinitis isn’t triggered by hay and doesn’t cause fever.

Nasal congestion

Allergies are the most common cause of chronic nasal congestion (a stuffy nose) in children. Sometimes a child’s nose is congested to the point that he or she breathes through the mouth, especially while sleeping. This may also cause the child to not get a restful night’s sleep and then be tired the next day. If the congestion and mouth-breathing are left untreated, they can affect the growth of teeth and the bones of the face.

As many as 6 million children in the United States have some form of food allergy.

The most common allergies in children are to peanuts and milk; other frequently seen triggers include eggs, fish, shellfish (crab, lobster, crayfish and shrimp), soy, tree nuts (for example, pecans, cashews and walnuts) and wheat. The most severe reactions are typically to peanuts, tree nuts, fish and shellfish — all allergies that can last a lifetime. Children often outgrow allergies to milk, eggs, soy and wheat.

All parents of a child with a food allergy should be aware of the possibility of anaphylaxis — a potentially life-threatening reaction that impairs breathing, causes a sudden drop in blood pressure and can send a body into shock. For that reason, most children with food allergies are prescribed It is one of two chemicals (the other is norepinephrine) released by the adrenal gland.

How is infection related to allergies?

Allergy is the body’s response to various allergens that cause an allergic reaction. At the same time, an immune system reaction also begins in the child’s body, which can lead to a temperature. The infectious process in the body of a child already struggling with allergies makes it even more acute and can lead to an increase in temperature.

What does this reaction to allergens look like?

Reaction to an allergen can manifest itself in many ways: red spots, itching and rashes may appear on the skin; in the nose – congestion, runny nose, cough; in the eyes – lacrimation and redness; etc. The response of the immune system can also lead to a rise in temperature, as the child’s body begins to fight allergens as a possible health hazard.

Allergic shock: symptoms, causes, treatment

What is allergic shock?

Allergic shock is a dangerous condition of the body that can occur in response to contact with an allergen. As a result, the immune system produces a large amount of histamine, which leads to the expansion of blood vessels, lowering blood pressure and impaired respiratory function.

Symptoms of allergic shock

The main symptoms of allergic shock are:

  • redness of the skin
  • itching and burning of the skin (especially on the face and neck)
  • urticaria
  • rapid breathing
  • severe sweating
  • nausea and vomiting

In severe cases, anaphylactic shock may occur, which can lead to death.

Causes of allergic shock

Allergic shock can occur in response to contact with any allergen, such as plant pollen, food, drugs, insects, etc. Allergic shock can also occur when allergic to medications or during medical procedures (for example, with the introduction of a radiopaque substance).

Treatment of allergic shock

Treatment of allergic shock should begin as early as possible. The first step is to stop contact with the allergen. Antiallergic drugs should then be given, which may include adrenergic agonists, glucocorticoids, and antihistamines. If the patient’s condition worsens, an ambulance should be called immediately.

Allergy drug reactions in children

Drugs are one of the most common causes of allergic reactions in children. Most medicines contain some kind of chemical compound that can cause unwanted effects in children.

Allergic reactions to drugs can manifest themselves in many ways – skin rashes, itching, swelling of the tongue and throat, respiratory failure, vomiting, etc. The reaction to drugs can be acute or delayed – it depends on the individual case.

If you experience an allergic reaction to a medicine, stop using it immediately and consult your doctor. In some cases, a drug allergy may require urgent medical attention to prevent serious complications.

  1. To avoid an allergic reaction to medicines in a child, it is necessary to be vigilant when using any medicine and watch for possible unwanted effects.
  2. If the child has already had an allergic reaction to any medicine, the doctor must be informed and recorded in the child’s medical record.
  3. When prescribing new drugs, it is always necessary to clarify their composition and possible side effects.

An allergic reaction leads to the release in the child’s body of substances that are in the immune system and affect the thermoregulatory centers in the brain, which leads to a change in body temperature.

Should a child with a fever for allergies take antipyretics?

If the temperature increase is not too high and is accompanied by mild symptoms, then you can limit yourself to taking general measures to strengthen the body, in particular, the drinking regimen. However, if the pediatrician considers that the use of antipyretic drugs is necessary, then the recommendations of the specialist should be followed.

Can a child’s fever with allergies lead to more serious complications?

In rare cases, anaphylactic shock may occur, which is a life-threatening condition and requires immediate medical attention. Therefore, if there are signs of anaphylaxis, you must immediately call an ambulance.

What diet should be followed in case of allergies to avoid fever in a child?

If you have an allergy, avoid foods that cause an allergic reaction in your child. In addition, it is important to take into account the individual characteristics of the child. To select the optimal diet, you need to contact a pediatric allergist.

What measures can be taken to prevent fever in a child with allergies?

In the first place, it is necessary to avoid contact of the child with allergens that cause a reaction in him. It is also important to maintain proper nutrition, strengthen the child’s immune system, regularly ventilate the premises, take care of pets, etc.

Irritant substances

Irritant substances can lead to an allergic reaction in children. These substances can be present in many foods and objects that children interact with on a daily basis.

One of the most common irritants is dust. House dust can contain allergens that cause allergic reactions in children.

Items such as toys, clothing, bedding and carpets may also contain irritants. Some of the materials used for these items may cause allergic reactions in children, especially those with sensitive skin.

  • Chemicals such as dyes and preservatives can also be irritants. They are often used in foods and cosmetics that children use on a daily basis.
  • Medicines may cause allergic reactions in children. Some children may be allergic to certain ingredients used in medicines, so it is important to consult a doctor in time to determine the appropriate dose.

In general, irritants can cause not only allergic reactions in children, but also fever and other symptoms that can be unpleasant and shocking for children and their parents. Therefore, it is important to be mindful of the foods and items your child uses and take steps to reduce exposure to irritants.

Allergy: progression of the disease and its consequences for children

What is an allergy and how does it manifest itself?

Allergy is the reaction of the immune system to exposure to external allergens. Allergy symptoms can be different and manifest at different levels. Some of them are itching, runny nose, skin rashes, swelling of the larynx and even anaphylactic shock.

Progression of allergies in children

If allergies are not treated or prevented, they can only get worse over time. With age, the body reacts faster and more strongly to allergens, which can lead to serious health consequences for children.

In addition, we should not forget that allergies can be combined with other diseases, such as bronchial asthma or atopic dermatitis, which also increases the risk of complications and progression of the disease.

Consequences for children

One of the main consequences of the progression of allergies in children is an increase in temperature. This happens because their immune system fights off the allergen by producing antibodies and raising their body temperature. In addition, constant exposure to the allergen on the body can lead to weakness, apathy, insomnia and a deterioration in the quality of life of the child. Therefore, it is so important to detect and treat allergies in children in a timely manner in order to prevent its progression and complications.

Allergy fever in a child


After eating a product or taking a medicine that our body cannot tolerate, we usually observe an allergic reaction in the form of habitual symptoms. Usually this is a skin rash, redness, runny nose, intestinal disorders and other manifestations that are known to everyone who has at least a little contact with an allergic person or is one himself. This is a normal reaction of the body to the intake of histamine.


Sometimes, or rather rarely, the body reacts non-standard and instead of the usual symptoms listed above, the body temperature rises. This is a fairly rare occurrence that doctors and patients often mistake for a cold or other fever-related illness. With allergies, this is considered a non-standard reaction, and therefore the temperature with allergies deserves special attention. Let’s take a closer look at this topic.

Yes, with allergies there is a temperature, that’s a fact. Any increase in it indicates the presence of an inflammatory process in the body. And the higher the thermometer column, the stronger the body fights the infection or virus that has arrived. On the issue of allergies at a temperature, even doctors cannot come to one common opinion. Most of them believe that the usual intake of an allergen should not cause an increase in temperature. In this case, they say that at the same time as the allergic reaction, the person caught a cold or got a viral infection. The doctors’ opinion would have remained the same if such cases had not recently become more frequent. It is clear that in connection with the increase, research began to be carried out and this issue was dealt with more closely. Scientific work and experiments have shown that with allergies there is a temperature and called such an allergy atypical.

Most often, with allergies, the temperature occurs in the following cases:

  • taking medications containing an allergen for a single person. In this case, the temperature with allergies is most often observed. At the same time, it can be accompanied by itching, swelling, redness of the mucous membranes, as well as in the mouth, nose and eyes. Intoxication is also often observed. For this reason, the doctor may not immediately determine the allergic reaction, taking the case for food poisoning or a complication of a viral cold;
  • allergic reaction due to ingestion of an allergen. In this case, it is even more difficult to determine an allergy than when taking medications. After all, the doctor will ask what medications you are taking, and based on the answer, he can at least suggest what you may be allergic to. But in the case of food allergies, everything is complicated by the fact that often of all the symptoms, fever and abdominal pain. Of course, this can be accompanied by pain in the intestines, diarrhea, metabolism and other symptoms. If you put them together, you get food poisoning. This is if an additional rash or other symptoms appear that are more suitable for the description of an allergy, then the probability of a correct diagnosis increases significantly. And it happens that even for weeks the doctor cannot determine the source of the disease;
  • reaction to foreign substances such as serum, plasma, vaccine, protein, etc. In this case, the body, for obvious reasons, does not want to accept foreign substances and fights against their invasion by raising the temperature. These are special cases that, until recently, were dismissed and considered normal. This attitude can be compared with the transfusion of blood of different groups. A similar reaction of the body in medicine is called serum sickness. As a rule, it appears after a while. Usually from several days to several weeks. An itchy rash appears at the injection site of foreign proteins, nearby lymph nodes may become inflamed, body temperature rises, the face may swell and the stomach may ache. There are exceptions when the body produces antibodies to the administered proteins very sharply and serum sickness can manifest itself right during the injection. In this case, the disease proceeds very rapidly and the patient must be under the constant supervision of specialists. The reason for this is the risk of anaphylactic shock with subsequent death. But these are extremes, and usually the body temperature rises to 38 degrees, fighting with a foreign protein;
  • if you are allergic to the hair of a certain animal or to the pollen of a single plant. According to one theory, the temperature occurs more due to irritation of the mucous membrane. Note that allergies to pollen or wool are much more likely to cause a runny nose, cough, frequent sneezing, and profuse watery eyes. However, do not panic. In such cases, most often, the raised temperature during allergies in a child is insignificant and very rarely crosses the mark of 38 degrees. In adults, it is generally considered rare;
  • temperature for allergies caused by insect bites. This is a fairly common phenomenon, which rarely entails a serious consequence. There were cases when, from a bee sting in the side in the area of ​​​​the liver, the entire torso and shoulders swelled and swelled in a person, and after two days there was no trace left. The temperature, as a rule, rises to 38-39 degrees. This is not as dangerous as it might seem at first glance, however, you should not neglect such symptoms. It is better to immediately contact an allergist in order to prevent possible complications and take appropriate measures.

How to deal with a temperature due to allergies? Doctors say that the temperature, which has not reached 38 degrees, should not be brought down. If the mark is crossed, then it is better to knock it down with standard medicines. However, you should be careful, because an allergic reaction along with a temperature can be caused precisely by taking medications. You need to be sure that the patient is not allergic to the components of the drug. The best and proven method is a plentiful hot drink. But here we should not forget about the danger.

Allergies can be caused by lemon or honey, which are often added to tea and milk respectively, especially in children. By the way, about them. The temperature with allergies in a child clearly signals the presence of any infection or complications in tandem with an allergic reaction.

Social Development in Children | SCAN of Northern Virginia

Ask any parent about their child’s development, and they’ll often talk about speech and language development, gross motor skills or even physical growth. But a child’s social development—her ability to interact with other children and adults—is a critical piece of the development puzzle.

What is social development?

Social development refers to the process by which a child learns to interact with others around them. As they develop and perceive their own individuality within their community, they also gain skills to communicate with other people and process their actions. Social development most often refers to how a child develops friendships and other relationships, as well how a child handles conflict with peers.

Why is social development so important?

Social development can actually impact many of the other forms of development a child experiences. A child’s ability to interact in a healthy way with the people around her can impact everything from learning new words as a toddler, to being able to resist peer pressure as a high school student, to successfully navigating the challenges of adulthood. Healthy social development can help your child:

  • Develop language skills. An ability to interact with other children allows for more opportunities to practice and learn speech and language skills. This is a positive cycle, because as communication skills improve, a child is better able to relate to and react to the people around him.
  • Build self esteem. Other children provide a child with some of her most exciting and fun experiences. When a young child is unable to make friends it can be frustrating or even painful. A healthy circle of friends reinforces a child’s comfort level with her own individuality.
  • Strengthen learning skills. In addition to the impact social development can have on general communication skills, many researchers believe that having healthy relationships with peers (from preschool on up) allows for adjustment to different school settings and challenges. Studies show that children who have a hard time getting along with classmates as early as preschool are more likely to experience later academic difficulties.
  • Resolve conflicts. Stronger self esteem and better language skills can ultimately lead to a better ability to resolve differences with peers.
  • Establish positive attitude. A positive attitude ultimately leads to better relationships with others and higher levels of self confidence.

How can parents make a difference when it comes to social development?

Studies show that everyday experiences with parents are fundamental to a child’s developing social skill-set. Parents provide a child with their very first opportunities to develop a relationship, communicate and interact. As a parent, you also model for your child every day how to interact with the people around you.

Because social development is not talked about as much as some other developmental measures, it can be hard for parents to understand the process AND to evaluate how their child is developing in this area. There are some basic developmental milestones at every age, as well as some helpful tips a parent can use to support their child.

Infants & Toddlers:

During the first 2 years of life, huge amounts of development are rapidly occurring. You can expect your child to:
– Smile and react positively to you and other caregivers
– Develop stranger anxiety—though it can be frustrating, this is a normal step in development
– Develop an attachment to a comfort object such as a blanket or animal
– Begin to show anxiety around other children
– Imitate adults and children—just as a child develops in other ways, many social skills are learned simply through copying what a parent or sibling does
– Already be affected by emotions of parents and others around them

As a parent, you can:
– Respond to your baby’s needs promptly—your child is learning how to trust someone
– Make eye contact with your baby—get down to their level and connect visually when you interact with them
– Babble and talk to your baby, always pausing to allow them to respond
– Play copycat with words and actions
– Play “peekaboo”—this teaches your child that even if you “disappear” you will come back, and sets the stage for less stranger anxiety in the future
– Involve your baby in daily activities such as running errands or visiting friends—this shows them how you interact with others in a respectful, positive way
– Begin to arrange playdates so that your child can interact with peers

Preschoolers:

By this age, the stage has been set in the earliest years (mostly by parental and other family interactions) for a child to branch out. As preschool begins your child can:
– Explore independently
– Express affection openly, though not always accurately—there can still be much frustration for your child as language development is still happening
– Still show some stranger anxiety
– Perfect the temper tantrum—it can be stressful, but tantrums are a normal part of child development
– Learn how to soothe themselves
– Be more aware of others’ emotions
– Cooperate with other children
– Express fear or anxiety before an upcoming event (such as a doctor visit)

As a parent, you can:
– Demonstrate your own love through words and physical affection—which is a great way to begin teaching a child how to express other emotions as well
– Help your child express their emotions by talking through what they are feeling
– Play with your child in a “peer-like” way to encourage cooperative play—this is helpful when they are in a group environment and have to share toys and cooperate
– Continue to provide play dates and opportunities to interact with other children
– Provide examples of your trust in others, such as your own friendships or other relationships

School children:

By 5 and older, a child’s social development begins to reach new levels. This is a point in time when most children will spend more hours in a day with other children than with their parents. It is normal for them to:
– Thrive on friendships
– Want to please friends, as well as be more like their friends
– Begin to recognize power in relationships, as well as the larger community
– Recognize and fear bullies or display bully-like behavior themselves
– As early as 10, children may begin to reject parents’ opinion of friends and certain behaviors—this is a normal step, but can be especially frustrating for parents

As a parent, you can:
– Talk with your child about social relationships and values by asking them about school and friends every day
– Allow children the opportunity to discuss social conflicts and problem-solve their reactions/actions
– Discuss the subject of bullying and harassment, both in person and on the Internet
– Allow older children to work out everyday problems on their own
– Keep the lines of communication open—as a parent, you want to make yourself available to listen and support your child in non-judgmental ways

Your child’s social development is a complex issue that is constantly changing. But the good news is that parents can have a big impact on how it progresses. By modeling healthy relationships and staying connected with your child, you can help them relate to the people around them in positive, beneficial ways. By encouraging them to engage with other children and adults, you’re setting them up to enjoy the benefits of social health—from good self esteem to strong communication skills to the ability to trust and connect with those around them.

Social Development during Different Ages

Meaning of Social Development

Human beings posses a unique characteristic which separates them from animal beings. Their behaviour is social. Society is essential as food to them. They believe in the maintenance of social relationships and try to adjust with others. But this does not mean that the child is born with such social behaviour and social qualities. Like other aspects of growth and development, he develops the necessary social characteristics in him.

The process of the development of such qualities which brings desirable changes in his social behaviour is referred to as social development or socialisation of the child. Social development occupies very important place in the overall process of growth and development. We cannot even describe an individual a person if he has not passed through the process of social development or socialisation.

Social development theory attempts to explain qualitative changes in the structure and framework of society, that help the society to better realize aims and objectives. Development can be defined in a manner applicable to all societies at all historical periods as an upward ascending movement featuring greater levels of energy, efficiency, quality, productivity, complexity, comprehension, creativity, mastery, enjoyment and accomplishment.

Definitions of Social Development

Some of the definitions are given below:

1. According to Sorenson, “By social growth and development we mean increasing ability to get along well with oneself and others.”

2. According to Freeman and Showel, “Social development is the process of learning to confirm to group standards, more and traditions and becoming imbued with a sense of oneness, inter-communication and co-operation.

3. According to Mrs. Hurlock, “Social development means the attaining of maturity in social relationships.”

4. According to Garret, “Socialisation or social development is the process whereby the biological individual is converted into a human person.”

During the process of social development there is a progress in the social abilities or skills of an individual. Social development refers to the process by which a person acquires the necessary knowledge, skills and disposition that makes him an acceptable member of his own group. If develops group loyalty and encourages mutual dependence, co-operation and cohesiveness. It is the process which helps an individual to behave in accordance with social traditions and mores and thus makes him able to adjust in his social environment.

It asserts that as in the case of emotional development, the goal is to attain emotional maturity. similarly there in the case of social development, the goal should be the attainment of social maturity. An individual should have all the opportunities to modify or improve his social behaviour so that he may be able to maintain proper social relationships and can adjust himself to his social environment. Socialisation and social development the process of social interaction-helps the individuals to attain essential personality characteristics.

Social Development during Different Ages

1. Social Development in Infancy

The behaviour of the human infant is not social at birth. He is too much self-centered. He is only concerned with the satisfaction of his physical need. He does not even distinguish between people and inanimate objects.

Social behaviour is said to be taking is birth when the infant first distinguishes between persons and objects. He is dependent upon the adults for the satisfaction of his needs, therefore, normally the baby’s first social contacts are with an adult Mrs. Hurlock in her book Child Psychology’ has beautifully explained the process of social development during the first two years as a result of the contact with adults. Below we give the summary of her findings.

S.No. Duration of Age Pattern of Social Behaviour
1. During first Month Cannot differentiate between the human voices and other noises.
2. Second Month Recognises the sounds of human beings and gives smiles to the person.
3. Third Month Recognises its mother and feels unhappy on separation.
4. Fourth Month Shows selective attention to the human face and feels happy in company.
5. Fifth Month Reacts differently to smiling and scolding and distinguishes between friendly and angry voices.
6. Sixth Month Recognizes familiar person a smile and shows define expressions of fear of strangers.
7. Eight and Ninth Month Attempts to imitate the speech, simple acts and gestures observed in others.
8. Between the tenth Plays with his image and even kisses it as and twelve month if it were another person.
9. At twelve Month Can refrain from doing things in response to ‘no-no or some other form or request.
10. At two years Can cooperate with adults in a number of routine activities and becomes an active member of the family.

2. Social Development during Childhood

As we have seen that during the period 2 to 6 years a child progresses from being relatively unsocial to distinctly socialized individual. He learns to share, to cooperate and to do things with others. But the circle of his social contacts is limited at this stage. Therefore, we cannot expect much from him regarding his social development.

With the entrance in childhood most of the children begin to go to school. The area of their social contacts is now widened. We note the following changes in the social behaviour of a child:

1. This period is marked by greater degree of social awareness. There is a great expansion of child’s social world. Most of the important types of social behaviour; necessary to adjustment with others, begin to develop at this stage.

2. He tries to seek independence from his parents and others elders and spends less time with them. In actual sense he now drives no enjoyment from them. Thus, interest in playmates of his own age gets increased.

3. He becomes an active member of a ‘peer groups and this group gradually replaces the family group in its influence over his behaviour and attitudes. The members of such a group are almost of the same age. They believe in group loyalty and thus try to confirm to the rules and the values maintained by their group.

4. We find a sort of segregation among boys and girls of this age. They form their group among members of their own sex because of a definite and clear differentiation between their habits, interest and attitudes etc.

3. Social Development during Adolescence

Adolescence is a period of rapid change and adjustments. In the social sphere also it holds a greater significance. The social development of this age is marked by the following characteristics:

1. Adolescence is marked with too much sex consciousness, sexual development and the accompanying attraction for opposite sex. Boys and girls of this age try to attract and hold the attraction of each other through their style of dress, manner of taking and other forms of social behaviour. They also try to seek friendship and even sexual relationships. In this way. the social behaviour pattern of the adolescence is almost dominated by sexual needs and desires.

2. During this stage group loyalty becomes very much pronounced Like childhood, it does not confine itself to the gang only but extends to the school, the community, the province and to the nation. Martyre and patriots are the product of this age. Cooperation reaches its speak during this period and the individuals are in mood to sacrifice their own interest for the greater cause of the group, society and nation.

3. Adolescence is also marked with the increase in friendly relationship. The nature of friendship maintained at the stage differs much from that of childhood. While in the childhood the friends are generally chosen from the neighbourhood or class, in adolescence there is no such bar of distance. The adolescents tend to choose friends of their own age, mental level and from the same socio-economic group to which their own family belongs. Their friendships are based on their common interests, hobbies and skills or the satisfaction of their mutual needs and subsequently tend to last longer than the friendship made in early childhood. It sometimes ties them in life long relationships.

4. Adolescence is a period of intense emotions. Emotional behaviour dominates the social characteristics and qualities of adolescents. An adolescent is highly sensitive, idealist and social reformer by nature. He feels strongly for the weak and sufferers. He is always ready to do some sort of social and community service. From time to time he exhibits his desire for bringing reforms in the social set-up and is highly critical of social evils and injustice.

Social development of preschool children

Presentation for the lesson.

Slide №1

The problem of the development of social pedagogy
seems to be very relevant today.
Social assistance has deep historical
roots. Known since ancient times
numerous examples of charity,
guardianship.

The preschool period is extremely important for
entry of the child into the world of social relations,
for the process of his socialization, which
L.S. Vygotsky’s statements are considered
as “growing into human culture”.

Slide №2

Social development (socialization) is a process
assimilation and further development by the individual
social and cultural experience necessary for
its inclusion in the system of social relations,
which consists of:

  • labor skills; (slide #3)
  • knowledge; (slide #4)
  • norms, values, traditions, rules; (slide
    #5)
  • social personality traits that allow
    a person to live comfortably and effectively in
    society of other people, the development of tolerance
    consciousness of parents, teachers and children
    (tolerance for someone else’s way of life, opinion,
    behavior, values, ability to accept
    the point of view of the interlocutor, different from
    own). (slide #6)

The development of social competence is an important and
a necessary stage in the socialization of the child in general
the process of assimilation by him of the experience of social life and
public relations. Man by nature
is a social being. All the facts
describing cases of forced isolation
small children, the so-called “Mowgli”,
show that such children never become
full-fledged people: they cannot master
human speech, elementary forms
communication, behavior and die early.

Social and educational activities in
conditions of preschool educational institution – this is the work that includes
pedagogical and psychological activity,
aimed at helping the child, teacher and
parent in developing their own
individuality, organization of oneself, one’s own
psychological state; help in solving
emerging problems and their overcoming in communication; A
also help in becoming a little man in
society.

The very word “society” comes from the Latin
“societas”, meaning “comrade”, “friend”,
“buddy”. From the first days of a child’s life
is a social being, since any of its
need cannot be satisfied without
assistance and participation of another person.

Social experience is acquired by the child in
communication and depends on the diversity of social
relationships that are given to him.
the nearest environment. Development environment without
active position of an adult, aimed at
transmission of cultural forms of relationships in
human society, social experience is not
bears. The assimilation of the universal human
experience gained by previous
generations, occurs only in joint
activities and interactions with other people. Exactly
so the child masters speech, new knowledge and
skills; he develops his own
beliefs, spiritual values ​​and needs,
character is established.

All adults who interact with the child and
affect his social development
divided into four levels of proximity,
characterized by various combinations of three
factors:

  • frequency of contact with the child;
  • emotional richness of contacts;
  • informative.

All parents are at the first level
three indicators have the maximum value.

The second level is occupied by preschool teachers –
the maximum value of information content,
emotional richness.

Third level – adults with
child situational contacts, or those that
children can observe on the street, in the clinic, in
transport, etc.

Fourth level – people, about existence
which the child may know, but with which he
never meet: residents of other cities,
countries, etc.

Child’s immediate environment – first and second
level of proximity – due to emotional
saturation of contacts with the child, not only
affect its development, but they themselves change under
the impact of these relationships. For success
social development of the child is necessary to
his communication with the closest adult environment was
dialogically and without prejudice. However
even face-to-face communication between people
is a complex and multifaceted process.
It carries out communicative
interaction and exchange of information.
The main means of human communication are
speech, gestures, facial expressions, pantomime. Not yet owning
colloquially, the child accurately responds to
smile, tone and tone of voice. Communication
involves people understanding each other. But
young children are self-centered. They believe that
others think, feel, see the situation in the same way,
like them, so it’s hard for them to get into position
another person, put yourself in his place.
It is the lack of understanding between
people most often causes conflicts.
This explains the frequent quarrels, disputes and
even fights between children. Social
competence is achieved through
productive communication between the child and adults
peers. For most children, this level
development of communication can only be achieved in
educational process.

Basic principles of process organization

  • individual assistance in the elimination of conflict
    and critical
    situations in the social interaction of the individual,
    the value formation of her life relations;
  • education in a person of abilities and
    needs to discover and create oneself in
    basic forms of human activity;
  • developing the ability to know oneself in unity
    with the world, in dialogue with it;
  • development of the ability of self-determination,
    self-actualization based on reproduction,
    development, appropriation of cultural experience

  • the formation of the need and ability to communicate
    with the world on the basis of humanistic values ​​and
    ideals, the rights of a free man.

social development of preschoolers.

(Slide №9)

Social development is a process during
which the child learns the values, traditions
of his people, the culture of the society in which he
to live. This experience is presented in
personality structure with a unique combination
four closely interdependent
components:

  1. Cultural skills – are
    set of specific skills
    society to a person in various situations as
    mandatory. For example: ordinal counting skill
    up to ten before starting school.
  2. Specific knowledge –
  3. representations
    received by a person in individual experience
    exploration of the surrounding world and bearing
    traces of his interactions with
    reality in the form of individual
    passions, interests, value systems. Their
    distinctive feature – a close semantic and
    emotional connection with each other. Their
    the totality forms an individual picture
    peace.

  4. Role behavior –
  5. behavior in a specific
    situation due to natural and
    sociocultural environment. Reflects familiarity
    a person with norms, customs, rules,
    regulates his behavior in certain
    situations, determined by his social
    competence.
    Even in preschool childhood,
    the child has many roles: he is a son or daughter,
    Kindergarten student, someone’s friend. not without reason
    a small child behaves differently at home than in
    kindergarten, and communicates with friends differently than
    with unfamiliar adults. Every social
    the role has its own rules, which can
    vary and are different for each subculture,
    value systems accepted in a given society,
    norms and traditions. But if an adult is free
    and consciously accepts this or that role, understands
    possible consequences of their actions and is aware of
    responsibility for the results of their behavior,
    the child has yet to learn.

  6. Social qualities,
  7. which can be
    combined into five complex characteristics:
    cooperation and caring for others,
    competition and initiative
    autonomy and independence, social
    adaptability, openness and social
    flexibility.

All components of social development are
in close relationship. Therefore, changes in one
of which will inevitably lead to changes in
the other three components.

For example: the child has been accepted into games
peers who had previously rejected him. Him
social qualities immediately changed – he
became less aggressive, more attentive and
open to communication. His horizons expanded
new ideas about human
relationships and myself: I am also good, me,
it turns out that children love, children are not evil either, with them
having fun, etc. His cultural
skills after a while is inevitable
enriched with new methods of communication with objects
the world around him, because he will be able to observe
and try these tricks with playmates.
Previously, this was not possible, the experience of others
rejected because the children themselves were rejected,
attitude towards them was unconstructive.

All deviations in the social development of the child
preschool age is the result of wrong
behavior of surrounding adults. They just don’t
understand what their behavior creates in life
child of situations with which he cannot
cope, so his behavior starts
be antisocial.

The social development process represents
is a complex phenomenon in which
there is an appropriation by the child objectively
given norms of human society and
constant discovery, self-assertion as
social subject.

The content of social development is determined,
on the one hand, the totality of social
influences of world-class culture,
universal values, on the other hand,
attitude towards this individual,
actualization of one’s own “I”, disclosure
creative potentials of the individual.

How to promote social development
preschooler? The following tactics can be suggested
interaction between the teacher and the children in order to
formation of socially acceptable forms
behavior and assimilation of the moral norms of society:

  • discuss the consequences of the child’s actions more often
    or an adult to the feelings of another person;
  • emphasize similarities between different people;
  • offer children games and situations in which
    cooperation and mutual assistance is needed;
  • involve children in discussions of interpersonal
    conflicts arising on moral grounds;
  • consistently ignore cases
    negative behavior, pay attention to
    a child who behaves well;
  • do not repeat the same demands over and over,
    prohibitions and punishments;
  • clearly formulate the rules of conduct.
    Explain why you should do it instead of
    otherwise.

Social experience to which one joins
child from the first years of his life accumulates
and manifests itself in social culture. assimilation
cultural values, their transformation,
contributing to the social process, is
one of the fundamental tasks of education.

In relation to the content of pre-school
education in the aspect of social development speech
can go about the following sections of culture and
their respective areas of organization
pedagogical process: culture of communication,
included in the content of moral
education; psychosexual culture,
the content of which is reflected in the section on sexual
education; national culture realized in
the process of patriotic education and
religious education; ethnic
culture included in content
international education; legal
culture, the content of which is presented in
section of the foundations of legal consciousness. Such an approach
perhaps a little limited content
social development, excluding sections
ecological, intellectual, labor,
valeological, aesthetic, physical,
economic education.

Slide #10.

However, the process of social development
involves the implementation of an integrated approach,
legitimacy of the conditional allocation of these sections
from a holistic pedagogical process
confirmed by one of the essential grounds,
related to the social identity of the child in
preschool age: species (child – person),
generic (child is a member of the family), sexual (child
– carrier of sexual essence), national
(a child is a carrier of national characteristics),
ethnic (the child is a representative of the people),
legal (the child is a representative of the legal
states).

The social development of the individual is carried out in
activities. In it a growing man passes
way from self-distinction, self-perception through
self-affirmation to self-determination, socially
responsible behavior and self-actualization.

Due to the specifics of the development of mental
processes and functions identification of a preschooler
possible at the level of empathic experience,
arising from identification with
other people.

The effectiveness of social development as
the result of socialization-individuation
due to the action of various factors. IN
aspect of pedagogical research the most important
of which is education, the purpose of which is
familiarization with culture, its reproduction,
appropriation and creation. Modern
research on the personality development of the child (in
in particular, the team of authors for the development
basic program “Sources”) allow
supplement, specify
list and refer to the universal human
abilities a number of basic characteristics
personalities, the formation of which is feasible in
process of social development: competence,
creativity, initiative, arbitrariness,
autonomy, responsibility,
security, freedom of conduct, self-awareness
personality, the ability to self-esteem.

Social experience to which one joins
child from the first years of his life accumulates
and manifests itself in social culture. assimilation
cultural values, their transformation,
contributing to the social process, is
one of the fundamental tasks of education.

  • social development content of preschoolers
    determined by various bases of social
    identification, dominant in one or another
    age: younger preschool age – species and
    generic identification; middle – specific,
    generic, gender identification; senior –
    species, generic, gender, national,
    ethnic, legal identification;

Of great importance in the process of assimilation of culture
and in the development of universal social
abilities has an imitation mechanism as one
from the paths of penetration into semantic structures
human activity. Initially,
imitating the surrounding people, the child masters
generally accepted ways of behaving
depending on the features of communication
situations. Interaction with other people is not
differentiated by species, genus, sex,
national signs.

As the intellectual
activity, enrichment of semantic social
the spectrum of interaction occurs awareness
values ​​of each rule, norm; their application
becomes associated with a particular
situation. Actions previously mastered at the level
mechanical imitation, acquire a new one,
social meaning. Awareness of value
social action means
the emergence of a new mechanism of social
development — normative regulation, influence
which in preschool age is invaluable.

Implementation of the tasks of social development of children
preschool age is most effective for
the presence of a holistic pedagogical system,
built in accordance with the basic
approaches of the general scientific level of methodology
pedagogy.

(Slide #11)

  • The axiological approach allows us to determine
    set of priority values ​​in
    education, upbringing and self-development of a person.
    Applied to social development
    preschoolers as such can be
    communicative, psychosexual,
    national, ethnic, legal culture.
  • A cultural approach allows you to take
    into account all the conditions of place and time, in
    which a person was born and lives, the specifics of his
    immediate environment and historical past
    of their country, city, main values
    orientation of representatives of their people, ethnic group.
    Dialogue of cultures, which is one of the dominant
    paradigms of the modern education system,
    impossible without sharing the values ​​of one’s own
    culture.
  • The humanistic approach involves the recognition
    personal beginning in the child, orientation to his
    subjective needs and interests, recognition
    his rights and freedoms, the inherent value of childhood as
    foundations of mental development,
    cultural-creative function of childhood as one
    one of the most important aspects of social development,
    psychological comfort and welfare of the child
    priority criteria in performance evaluation
    social institutions.
  • Anthropological approach improves
    the status of psychological and pedagogical diagnostics in
    determining the dynamics of social development
    preschoolers, take into account different (age,
    gender, national) features of personal
    development in the process of moral, sexual,
    patriotic, international, legal
    education.
  • A synergistic approach allows
    consider each subject of pedagogical
    process (children, educators, parents) as
    self-developing subsystems
    transition from development to self-development. In aspect
    social development of children this approach
    provides for, for example, a gradual change
    general orientations of the teacher in the formation
    main activities (from perception to
    reproduction according to the model – to independent
    reproduction – to creativity).
  • The polysubjective approach involves
    the need to take into account the influence of all factors
    social development (microfactors: family,
    peers, kindergarten, school, etc.; mesofactors:
    ethno-cultural conditions, climate; macro factors:
    society, state, planet, space).
  • The systems-structural approach involves
    organization of work on social development
    preschoolers in accordance with the holistic
    pedagogical system of interconnected and
    interdependent goals, objectives, content,
    means, methods, forms of organization, conditions and
    results of interaction between teachers and children.
  • An integrated approach involves the relationship
    all structural components of pedagogical
    systems for all links and
    participants in the pedagogical process. IN
    the content of social development is included
    orientation of the child in the phenomena of social and
    own life, in oneself.
  • The activity approach allows you to determine
    dominant relationship of the child with the environment
    world, actualize the implementation of the needs
    in understanding oneself as a subject of activity.
    Social development is carried out in the process
    meaningful, motivated activities,
    a special place among which is occupied by the game, as
    value-added activity that provides
    feeling of freedom, subordination of things, actions,
    relationships, allowing the most complete
    realize yourself “here and now”, achieve
    states of emotional comfort
    involved in a children’s society built on
    free communication of equals.
  • Environmental approach allows to solve the problem
    organization of educational space as
    means of social development of the individual. Wednesday
    is a combination of niches and elements,
    among which and in cooperation with which
    the life of children goes on (Yu.S. Manuilov). Niche is
    a certain space of possibilities,
    allowing children to satisfy their
    needs. Conventionally, they can be divided into
    natural, social, cultural. Applied
    to the tasks of social development organization
    educational space requires the creation
    subject-developing environment that provides
    the most effective way to involve children in
    standards of culture (universal,
    traditional, regional). The element represents
    an unrestrained force acting in
    natural and social environment in the form of various
    social movements manifested in
    moods, needs, attitudes. IN
    regarding the social development plan element
    will be found in the interaction of children and
    adults, in the dominant value orientations,
    hierarchy of targets in relation to
    ranking of educational tasks.

(Slide #12)

Brief overview of the main conceptual
provisions of the problem of social development
allows us to draw the following conclusions:

  • social development is
    sequential, multidimensional process and
    the result of socialization-individualization, in the course of
    which is carried out the introduction of a person to
    “universal social” and constant opening,
    affirmation of oneself as a subject of social
    culture;
  • preschool age is sensitive
    period in human social development;
  • social development of preschool children
    carried out in the current multidirectional
    activities for the development of the objective world and the world
    relationships between people.

The social development of a child is the assimilation of the traditions of the society, culture, environment in which the child grows up, the formation of his values, communication skills. Even in infancy, the child establishes the first contacts with the world around him. Over time, the child learns to establish contacts with adults and trust them, control his body and actions, build his speech and frame it with words. To form a harmonious social development of the child, it is necessary to give him and his curiosity maximum time and attention. This is communication, explanations, reading, games, in a word, arming the child with a maximum of information about the human environment, the rules and norms of communication, behavior.

The family at the first stage is the main cell for the transfer of experience and knowledge accumulated earlier. To do this, the parents of the baby, his grandparents are required to create an optimal psychological atmosphere in the house. This is an atmosphere of trust, kindness, mutual respect, which are called the primary social education of children.

Communication is a key factor in the social development of a child’s personality. Communication underlies the social hierarchy, which is manifested in the relationship “children-parents”. But the main thing in these relationships should be love, which begins from the womb. No wonder psychologists say that a desired child is a happy, self-confident and, in the future, successful person in society.

Social education of a preschooler

Social education is the basis of a child’s social development. It is at preschool age that the formation of a system of relationships between children and adults takes place, the types of children’s activities become more complicated, and joint activities of children are formed.

In early childhood, children learn a wide range of activities with objects, they discover ways to use these objects. This “discovery” leads the child to the adult as the bearer of the way to perform these actions. And the adult becomes a model with which the child compares himself, whom he inherits, repeats his actions. Boys and girls carefully study the world of adults, highlighting the relationship between them, ways of interaction.

The social upbringing of a preschooler is the comprehension of the world of human relations, the discovery by the child of the laws of interaction between people, that is, the norms of behavior. The desire of a preschooler to become an adult and growing up consists in subordinating his actions to the norms and rules of behavior of adults accepted in society.

Since the leading activity of a preschooler is a game, the role-playing game becomes the main one in shaping the child’s social behavior. Thanks to this game, kids model the behavior and relationships of adults. At the same time, in the foreground for children – the relationship between people and the meaning of their work. By performing certain roles in the game, boys and girls learn to act, subordinating their behavior to moral standards. For example, children often play hospital. They take on the roles of patient and doctor. Moreover, the role of a doctor is always more competitive, since it has the function of recovery and assistance. In this game, children inherit the behavior of a doctor, his actions with a phonendoscope, examination of the throat, syringes, writing a prescription. Playing the hospital reinforces the relationship of mutual respect between the doctor and the patient, the implementation of his recommendations and appointments. Usually, children inherit the pattern of behavior of the doctors they visited at the clinic or their district pediatricians.

If you watch the children in the role-playing game “Family” or, as children say, “like dad and mom”, you can find out what kind of atmosphere reigns in the family of children. So, the child will subconsciously take on the role of leader in the family. If it’s a dad, then even girls can be a dad, go to work, and then “go to the garage to fix the car.” They can give instructions to their “half” to buy something in the store, cook their favorite dish. At the same time, the moral climate, the relationship between parents, can also manifest itself in children’s play. This is a kiss of parents before leaving for work, an offer to lie down after work and relax, the tone of communication is ordered or affectionate. The copying by the child of the standards of behavior of the parents indicates that it is they who form the model of relations in the family in the child. Equality will be either submission, mutual respect or dictate – it depends on the parents. They must remember this every minute.

Social education of a preschooler — is the formation of humanistic feelings and relationships. For example, attention to the interests of other people, their needs, interest in their work, respect for any profession. This is the ability of a boy and a girl to sympathize with troubles and rejoice in other people’s joys. Today this is very important, because envy is often formed in children already at preschool age. And this is precisely the inability to rejoice for one’s neighbor, which, as the child grows up, develops into duplicity and chameleonism, the predominance of material values ​​over moral ones. Social education is also the child’s ability to experience his guilt for violating generally accepted norms of behavior. For example, a boy should feel remorse for having taken a typewriter from a peer, he should ask for forgiveness for an offense. The girl should worry about the damaged doll. She must understand that it is impossible to spoil toys, they should be treated with care, like all things, objects, clothes.

Social education of preschool children is the ability to live in a team of peers, respect for adults, compliance with the norms of behavior in public places, in nature, at a party.

Social development in kindergarten

Since the majority of parents are busy and working people (students), the kindergarten and educators play an important role in the social development of girls and boys of preschool age.

The social development of children in kindergarten is the purposeful formation of values ​​and traditions, culture and norms of behavior in society. This is the assimilation of ethical norms by the child, the formation of love for nature and all the people around. Such tasks of the social development of children, covering their activities in a preschool institution. Playing and communicating with adults, the child learns to coexist with others, live in a team, take into account the interests of members of this team. In our case, kindergarten groups. If a child attends a kindergarten, then educators and music workers, nannies and physical education teachers take an active part in his socialization.

The child trusts the teacher and gives him authority, because the whole life of a boy and a girl in kindergarten depends on him. Therefore, often the word of the educator will be dominant over the word of the parents. “And the teacher said that you can’t do that!” – such a phrase and others like it are often heard by parents. This suggests that the teacher is really an authority for the child. After all, she arranges interesting games, reads books, tells fairy tales, teaches to sing and dance. The teacher acts as a judge in children’s conflicts and disputes, she can help and regret, support and praise, and maybe scold. That is, the behavior of the educator serves as a model for the child in different situations, and the word of the educator serves as a guide in actions, deeds, and relationships with other children.

The social development of a child in kindergarten can only take place in a warm atmosphere of relations between children created by the teacher. A favorable climate in the group is when children feel relaxed and free, when they are heard and appreciated, praised and correctly given comments. A good teacher knows how to make the child feel significant in a peer group, while maintaining individuality. The child thus develops self-esteem and self-confidence. He knows that they hope for him at the matinee, that he is obliged to help the nanny and water the flowers on time on duty.

Burger King app – Surf

Client

Burger King is one of the leaders in the fast food industry, with more than 12,000 restaurants in 75 countries. More than 11 million visitors visit them daily. The company has been operating since 1954. We worked with Burger King Russia.

Task

Burger King Russia decided to update the design of its mobile app, improve its fail-safe performance, and systematize its work with conversion and user experience. With these tasks, they turned to Surf.

Solution

Together with the Burger King Russia team, we implemented a new brand design concept in a mobile application. The Burger King Russia sales channel now has a much more modern and stylish design that reflects the brand’s current values.

The Surf team solved several important tasks at the same time: stabilized the application, developed features in the old version, implemented a redesign, and systematized work on conversion and user experience.

Increased fault tolerance of the application

To begin with, we figured out what were the reasons for low fault tolerance.

There was a bug with the 24 hour time format on iOS. Previously, if the 12-hour format was selected, then the user could not place an order, even if there was access – an error appeared that delivery was not available and the restaurant was closed. Our developers have fixed this bug: now you can select 12-hour or 24-hour format in the device settings.

On iOS and Android, adding shipping addresses has been fixed. Previously, in some cities there were problems when adding addresses with fractions and cases.

Working on fixing bugs, we increased the fault tolerance on iOS from ~98% to 99.9%, on Android from ~98% to 99.04%.

New features developed

Tips for couriers

An option appreciated by buyers and couriers. For the former, this is an opportunity to thank for prompt delivery, even if there is no cash, for the latter, it is a nice bonus to their salary. We have integrated the “No Coins” service into the application, with which you can choose the amount of the tip in proportion to the amount of the order as a percentage. As a result, the number of tips for couriers has doubled.

Authorization by call

Burger King Russia decided to increase the number of authorization methods by adding the ability to enter the application by calling, thus optimizing the cost of SMS mailings. To do this, the user enters his phone number, he receives an incoming call, the last four digits of the number are the authorization code.

Support Chat

Now it’s even easier to apply for support – chat with an employee is available in the application. If the order is delayed or does not meet expectations, the user can quickly resolve the issue with the support service. This increases his brand loyalty and reduces the amount of negativity.

Adding analytics events

Any user activity in the application can be tracked using analytics. This helps to evaluate the effectiveness of certain options and features, to find problems that users have at various stages of working with the application. In addition, user data can be used in advertising campaigns.

Focus on cart performance

Over the course of the year, we worked through every step of the user interaction with the cart, completely redesigning all 3 cart screens:

Step 1 . Checking the order

Made one trick on the screen by moving the banner about the loyalty program to the list of upsel cards and moving the cards themselves down. Added the ability to edit the composition of dishes from the basket (add extra cheese or remove mayonnaise). As a result, the conversion rate for the first purchases of new users increased by 1.6 p.p., and the average check increased by 2.5%.

Step 2 . Selecting the method of receiving an order

Delivery . Removed all information that the user could consider ambiguous: for example, the opening hours of a restaurant. Previously, users perceived it as the time when they would bring the order. We also managed to eliminate duplicate addresses: if the user had saved addresses, and he entered them again, an error occurred. Now the user can save the address and proceed with the checkout, the application does not write the address twice. We also redesigned the processing of the minimum amount. As a result, the conversion on delivery increased by 2.9p. p.

Pickup . For the self-pickup option, a map was displayed to make it easier for users to find the right restaurant, especially if the restaurants are nearby. As a result, the conversion to the third screen of the cart increased by 0.7 p.p.

Step 3 . Payment

We made one trick on the screen – a pre-election payment method with a card with automatic transition to linking by button. The crowns were also moved, placing them next to the order amount. As a result, the conversion rate for the first purchases of new users increased by 1.5%.

Adding push notifications

We also implemented abandoned cart events in the application — if the user added a product but did not place an order, he will receive a push notification. As a result, the number of orders per customer increased by 10%.

Implemented design according to the new brand concept

Burger King Russia has developed a completely new concept of visual style. It is made according to the canons of flat design, but differs in original execution. It seamlessly combines modern design trends with elements referring to the vintage logo 1969-1999. The color scheme – brown, orange, green and yellow – symbolizes the organic origin of the ingredients used in the menu. We have implemented this design concept in the brand application.

Burger King Russia has also changed its corporate font. The new version improved the readability of the application’s text blocks, and with the help of a concise color scheme, it was possible to achieve uniformity of elements.

With the change in design, both the positioning and the logic of the application changed. In parallel with the redesign, some UX improvements were also implemented. For example, earlier, for authorization, the user had to go through three screens, and now – only one. Now we continue to develop the project, adding new features for users.

For example, we launched payment via SberPay, and also added payment via the Fast Payment System (FPS). In addition, the application has the opportunity to leave a donation to the Life Line Foundation. The user can transfer any amount to the fund – after paying for the order, the transfer of funds will go directly to the fund.

Outcome

To date, 85% of the company’s sales are made through digital channels, and during 2022, the Burger King mobile app ranked #1 in the Food & Drink category on the App Store and Google Play with user ratings of 4.8 and 4.3 points respectively.

Design is the main tool we use to communicate who we are and what we value. With it, we awaken the desire to eat and increase the number of guests.

Roschenko Artur Viktorovich

Director of Sales and Digital

We have been developing the Burger King app for a year and a half, making releases every two weeks. Therefore, if in Vladikavkaz you ordered a burger without onions, but they put it there, this will get into our Jira tracker and become our task.

How to Prepare a Daycare Schedule

As we’ve mentioned earlier, it’s your job to prepare a daycare schedule. Yes, making one is relatively easy. But it would help if you know some basic tips. It’ll make the daycare schedule more to the children’s liking and probably to their parents as well. Without further delay, here are some easy tips for preparing an effective daycare schedule.

Tip 1: Start with a Free Play Session

Consider the fact that children aren’t always in a good mood in the morning. Some of them feel grumpy because they wanted to sleep more. So to start their day right, a free play session as their first activity will help set their mind right. Give them the freedom to play with their peers and use the toys. Thirty minutes to one hour of free play will do. Playing is also good for children’s learning. It’s a way of letting them discover things and exercise their creativity.

Tip 2: Allocate More Hours for Learning Activities

Your daycare center has to prepare the children for their school life. That said, you should allocate more hours for learning activities. That primarily includes reading and writing exercises. For this matter, you might need to devise a lesson plan.

Tip 3: Include a Cleaning Session

Cleaning is a basic life skill that children must learn. So, make sure to include a cleaning session on the schedule. Just let them do simple cleaning activities, such as arranging things in the classroom or playroom. And if you want, you can create a separate cleaning schedule for this activity.

Tip 4: Don’t Forget Rest Time

Toddlers are children that can’t handle too many activities yet. They need to rest in the middle of the day. So, don’t forget to include rest time on the schedule. One hour of rest will do. Try to encourage them to sleep during rest time. Sleep is important to them as they’re still growing.

Work schedule of kindergarten teachers at 36 hours norm

Shifts of teachers in one group were always from 7 am to 2.15 pm and the second shift from 11.45 am to 7.00 pm, i.e. 36 hours a week. Now the management has set a new working time: 1 shift – from 7-00 to 13-00 and the second shift from 13-00 to 19-00. This turns out to be 30 hours a week, therefore, we are charged with WORKING 1 day (one shift) also in another group, where there are not enough educators. it turns out that we work out our 36 hours a week. But you have to come to the shift earlier to accept (or leave later to transfer) the shift. and every week until 15-00 we stay in the garden to report on the work done. plus ped tips, seminars, etc. are constantly being processed. how to legally return the clock that was before, and how do all other gardens work?

Khabarovsk parents were outraged by the kindergarten’s working hours

If you didn’t pick up your child from the kindergarten on time, you’ll look for him in the police. The parents of one of the kindergartens received such a notification and turned to the editorial office of the Khabarovsk TV channel. We figured out whether the baby could be handed over to juvenile inspectors if the parents came for him later than expected.

“Honestly, I was just shocked when I received this notification – that if I don’t pick up the child on time at 7 o’clock, then they can hand it over to the police,” Khabarovsk resident Maria Ermakova was indignant.

Every morning, almost 250 children are brought to the Verboton Kindergarten. But in the evening, not everyone is taken away on time – up to 20 kids stay in the garden after seven, because the parents are working. To remind mothers and fathers of the need to observe the opening hours of the institution, a notice was distributed among the groups. Some were outraged by it.

“I have a working day until 7, and the kindergarten is open until 7. My husband picks up the child from me, he also sometimes stays late – he has up to 8, and up to 9. We have to take time off from work in the middle of the day to pick up the child, to replace somewhere. These are also scandals and conflicts at work, ”explained Maria Ermakova.

Not everyone has grandparents, and the traffic situation in the city is difficult. Therefore, some simply do not have time to pick up the child before the closing of the kindergarten. As a rule, parents are met halfway, but they are asked not to forget that educators are people too.

“They also get tired and also want to get home on time. They have a working day until 7 pm, their schedule is scheduled, they have to catch the bus, come home, they have their grandchildren, their children. We also have no right to violate labor laws, the labor code, ”said Marina Zakirova, deputy head for educational and methodological work of the Verboton kindergarten.

In the days of the Soviet Union there were so-called five-day days – when parents brought their children to the garden on Monday and took them away on Friday. Then kindergartens began to work until six o’clock in the evening, and all the kids who were not taken away on time were taken to the duty group. Three years ago, all preschool institutions were transferred to a new work schedule.

“For the convenience of parents, we have completely switched kindergartens to a 12-hour work schedule. And each kindergarten independently, with its parent community, determined the schedule of the kindergarten. It was convenient for someone to work from 7 to 7, for someone from 8 to 8, ”said Tatyana Matveenkova, head of the education department of the Khabarovsk administration.

According to the law, if the child is not picked up on time and the kindergarten employees have fears that the parents will not come for him at all, they have the right and even must contact the police.

Best daycare by far. Very caring and involved owner, I appreciate her more than words could describe. Their school aged teacher, beyond amazing! Has a great routine and schedule. Has everything down to a T. During the first stages of the virus, they closed down, sanitized, remodeled, regrouped and reopened using every precaution they felt necessary going above and beyond to make sure that if they were going to go forth, that they were going to do it right the first time around. I’ve worked in plenty of daycares so I am VERY picky. And with that said, I LOVE this Daycare, it’s deffinetly a 10/10. And would recommend to anyone needing childcare.

My daughter attended several years ago at age 2. My husband and I looked for several around South side. We were at first very apprehensive due to another south side child facility that we had issues with. I demanded a lot from the facility as well as the teachers as I did not want the same thing happening again. Ms. Nancy, Ms. Janie, Grandma who worked in the office knew and understood my reasoning. I wanted a progress report from the teacher and I got it each day, with no complaints and the teacher encouraged criticism, if any. Well, we didn’t have any. My daughter was cared for, taught well, and advised well. Ms. Helen was my daughter’s favorite teacher as well as Ms. Martinez. Their curriculum is thorough and my daughter enjoyed it. Manners were taught, kindness was taught and shared, and much gratitude was exampled! We are so very grateful from the bottom of our hearts my daughter loved going there year round. Also,the facility made great strides to have field trips and festivities. We highly recommend Little Wonderland Child Care.

My experience with Little Wonderland Childcare has been a positive one. After visiting countless daycares my wife and I decided to go with Little Wonderland Childcare. Chosing a place to leave your child(ren) to be cared for and watched for isn’t an easy one, that is why I highly recommend this place because you get that sense of security and peace of mind the minute you walk into this place. I never once felt my children were in any danger or harm and I always felt that my children’s needs and interests were met. The management and staff are very professional and communicate well with the parents. I highly recommend this place to anyone who has little ones and need a safe, secure and clean place to have their child(ren) taken care of.

Muy contenta con este Daycare. La verdad me daba un poco de miedo meter a mi niño a un Daycare pero todas las muchachas de ahí son muy lindas y nos han hecho sentir a mí y a mi niña como en casa. Siempre que llego huele a limpio y tienen muchos árboles en los patios así que no me preocupa que se vaya a asolear mucho. Qué bueno que los encontré, lo recomiendo a todos los que estén buscando en el sur de la cuidad

After reading some reviews, I decided to give it a try. After all, all business have good and bad. I’m so glad I did. My 2 year old has been attending for a couple of weeks now and yes, at the beginning he was crying while dropping him off but this is his third week now and I am so happy that he now goes to his teacher with hugs and laughter instead of the crazy tantrums he will do I the mornings when I left him.
