High School Leadership Camp
Leadership skills are one of the most important traits that students will need to learn in order to be successful within any industry or profession, yet many of these skills are abstract and can be difficult to teach. Education Unlimited is proud to introduce a new camp that focuses on creating great leaders through three key areas of leadership development:
Knowing Yourself as a Leader: By understanding motives and personal values, students will be provided with a firm foundation to build the leadership skills that best suits their individual leadership style. Through personality and leadership self-assessment tests, students will benefit from guided self-evaluation to determine the management style that best fits their leadership goals. As part of the self-assessment, we will also consider how to best communicate with other types of leaders.
Communicating with Others: Once students understand their leadership style and goals, they are then provided with the skills they will need to communicate that direction to others. Our communications studies will cover presentation skills, meeting management and effective writing for the workplace.
Each week of camp, students will:
Give a persuasive or informative presentation
Lead meetings with their peers
Write proposals and communicate to others with clarity and professionalism
Practical Hands-On Experience
Learn by Doing: Weekly projects simulate entrepreneurial and community leadership from inception through planning to action. Each project includes budget and time management, delegation of responsibilities and effective teamwork.
These projects may include:
Planning and implementing an event for a large student body
Development and implementing a marketing campaign for an upcoming event
Arranging and completing a community service project plan with an action plan for implementation
Developing and performing a community needs assessment, then creating a presentation of results and suggested actions
Middle School Leadership Camp
Our middle school session of A+ Summer Leadership encourages the development of leadership skills spanning the areas of communication, entrepreneurial thinking and project planning/small team leadership. Students will rotate through multiple classes daily, and the program will culminate in a capstone leadership project which allows students to apply the skills they learn throughout the week. Communication Skills and Entrepreneurial Thinking seminars are the cornerstones of the core curriculum, and in these two courses students will learn by doing, create project plans, and work on learning to present their plan to an audience with the goal of learning how to bring a project from the idea stage to actual implementation. The Project Planning and Small Team Leadership (supplemental learning time for overnight and extended day camp students) is a workshop period where students will further explore ideas presented in their two core seminars, learn theories of leadership, have time to develop their project ideas and flesh them out, and receive personalized assistance on their projects.
Communication Skills: Our communication skills unit instills confidence and develops effective interpersonal skills through fun and interactive public speaking exercises, such as campaign speeches, student congress, and negotiations. Students will develop multiple speeches and will practice speaking in public during each day of the program (all participants).
Entrepreneurial Thinking: Leaders need to think creatively, market their ideas, and work with limited resources. In this unit, students will develop their skills as leader-entrepreneurs through hands-on activities designed to encourage their skills as marketers and innovators. Example activities include marketing campaign design, brainstorming methods, budgeting skills, and creative problem solving (all participants).
Project Planning & Small Team Leadership: Project management and small team management are fundamental skills of any leader. In this unit, students learn study skills, organization techniques, and project management best practices, giving them a skill set that will help them in small group work in school and beyond. Students will also explore various leadership roles, including that of project steward, manager, coach, and more (overnight and extended day participants).
For maximum options in summer 2022, this program will be offered in-person at East and West coast locations, as well as online!

2022 State Of The State: Summer Learning Camps For Arizona Kids
PHOENIX — Governor Doug Ducey today announced the launch of a statewide summer learning camp initiative aimed at helping Arizona kids get caught up in math, reading and civics.
“There’s been too much attention put on masks; and not nearly enough placed on math. A focus on restrictions rather than reading and writing. And it’s students of color and those in poverty who have been most impacted by the COVID-era posturing and politics of some school board bureaucrats,” the Governor said during his State of the State Address.
A July 2021 national analysis from McKinsey & Company indiciates “students testing in 2021 were about ten points behind in math and nine points behind in reading, compared with matched students in previous years.” The analysis also says, “In math, students in majority Black schools ended the year with six months of unfinished learning, students in low-income schools with seven. High schoolers have become more likely to drop out of school, and high school seniors, especially those from low-income families, are less likely to go on to postsecondary education.”
Additionally, recent assessment results showed how dramatically the pandemic has impacted learning in Arizona, with English and math scores plummeting for students across the state. The Summer Learning Camp initiative will address these gaps – at no cost to Arizona families – by providing students the support they need to get back on track ahead of next school year.
“…come June, we’re launching a summer camp – With an emphasis on catching kids up in key areas: Math, Reading and American civics,” he continued. “We will lead the way to eliminate learning loss. And in case you haven’t checked twitter lately: Arizona schools are open and they will remain open.”
Governor Ducey is working with educators, schools and families to connect kids who need extra support with eight-week math, reading and civics summer camps in urban and rural areas across the state. The camps will be offered through a partnership with schools and other community organizations.
To qualify for the free summer camp, a student must:
Have a demonstrated need for academic support, with an emphasis placed on serving students who scored below “proficient” on the Spring 2021 AZM2 (Arizona’s Measurement of Educational Readiness to Inform Teaching) Assessment. Additional metrics will be used to identify eligibility for students in grades that do not take the AZM2.
Attend an Arizona public school.
Priority will be given to students qualifying for free or reduced price meals. The instruction will be educational, engaging and in-person. Teachers from across the state will be invited to participate, and will be offered competitive compensation along with professional development opportunities. Transportation options will be available to students in need.
Governor Ducey is allocating dollars from the American Rescue Plan Act to fund the summer learning camps and ensure parents of students in need can access them free of charge.
BACKGROUND
On March 3, 2021, Governor Ducey announced a data-driven plan requiring public schools to resume teacher-led, in-person instruction. The action further advocated to close the achievement gap and keep students in the classroom.
On August 17, 2021, in addition to the Education Recovery Benefit program, Governor Ducey announced the Education Plus Up Grant program, aimed at boosting per pupil spending. Under the program, all district and charter schools that kept doors open for Arizona’s students and followed all state laws, would be eligible for $163 million in grant funding.
Governor Ducey also announced $64.9 million in state and federal funding for programs that improve K-12 literacy, support adult education and expand teacher professional development.
On August 18, 2021, Arizona invested $20 million to strengthen school choice opportunities for kids and families in rural communities and all areas of the state. The Arizona Transportation Modernization Grants program aimed to improve access to reliable and safe transportation for K-12 students.
On November 9, 2021, Governor Ducey announced an investment of $1.25 million to support mentorship programs for at-risk youth and training programs for parents of underrepresented families. As students faced time away from their classrooms, they missed opportunities for mentorship. The funding will help expand existing in-school mentoring as well as college and career readiness programs.
On November 15, 2021, an additional $375,000 was allocated for after-school programs that help promote healthy choices and encourage social engagement among kids of rural areas and underserved communities.
On December 28, 2021, Governor Ducey met with Black Mothers Forum Founder Janelle Wood and board members to discuss efforts to expand school choice in Arizona and ways to continue removing barriers for families.
On January 4, 2022, Governor Ducey announced the creation of the Open for Learning Recovery Benefit program to provide relief for parents who may face financial and educational barriers due to unexpected school closures.

What is Summer Camp?
Summer camp is a great way for kids to stay active and engaged during the summer months.
At Cadence Education, our summer camps and programs are designed to be both educational and fun. Each camp features a different theme, and our highly-trained teachers create engaging activities that help campers learn about the world around them.

Our Summer Programs Are:
Safe: Enhanced health protocols have been put in place and include small group sizes.
Fun: Lessons on history, culture, and geography are brought to life through exciting activities.
Focused on Elementary School Readiness: Help your child avoid the “summer slide” by providing great opportunities to “catch up” educationally before school begins again.
The lessons are delivered in a way that includes “brain zone” activities where students learn using their brains, “hand zone” activities promoting hands-on learning, and “play zone” activities where students can learn through play. The variety of activities keeps children engaged and entertained while they’re learning.
Benefits of Summer Camp
Summer camp is a great way for kids to stay active and engaged. Here are five summer camp benefits:
1. Summer camp helps kids avoid the “summer slide.”
Studies have shown that kids can lose up to two months of what they learned during the school year over the summer. Summer camp provides great opportunities for kids to review what they’ve learned and avoid the “summer slide.”
2. Summer camp helps kids stay active.
With all the new technology these days, it’s easy for kids to spend all day indoors. Summer camp gets kids outside and moving, which is important for their physical health and wellness.
3. Summer camp helps kids make new friends.
Camp is a great place for kids to meet peers and make friends. It’s also a great way for kids to socialize and learn how to work together in a group setting outside of school.
4. Summer camp helps kids try new things.
Camp is the perfect place for kids to step out of their comfort zones and try new things. From learning new sports to trying new foods, summer camp provides a safe environment for kids to explore and discover new interests.
5. Summer camp helps kids unplug from technology.
Summer camp gets kids outside and away from screens, which is important for their mental health. You won’t need to worry about your child spending all day staring at a tablet or tv screen. Summer camp provides real-world experiences to help your child learn and grow.
There are plenty of other summer camp benefits to discover when your child gets into the Cadence Education experience. When you send your child to summer camp, you can expect them to have a blast!
What To Expect at Cadence Education Summer Camp
At Cadence Education summer camp, your child will participate in a variety of activities that are both educational and fun. Each day, campers will rotate through different stations that focus on a different subject, such as history, culture, geography, and science.
Our highly-trained teachers create engaging activities that help campers learn new things and connect with peers. Campers will also have the opportunity to make new friends, try new activities, exercise, and explore new interests.

Supporting DEC Summer Camps
DEC Summer Camps are Special
DEC camps help instill a life-long passion
for nature and stewardship of
natural resources
DEC camps combine environmental education, hunter education programs, and outdoor recreation into a fun adventure. We use a hands-on approach to teach about the environment. Camps run Sunday afternoon through Friday afternoon.
Campers will have the opportunity to learn outdoor skills including backpacking, camping, and canoeing. They will explore New York’s diverse habitats, have the chance to learn basic ecological concepts, and how human activities affect the environment. Campers solve challenges, explore environmental concepts, practice outdoor skills, and spend the week immersed in nature. The 2022 Camp Season marked 75 years of fostering a love for the natural world.
Explore DEC’s Summer Camps through images on the DEC’s Summer Camps Facebook page. (leaves DEC website)
Adventure, Education, & Fun!
Lessons at camp cover a range of topics led by counselors with backgrounds in science, education, or recreation and include examining insects and flowers in a field, using nets along the lake shore to study macroinvertebrates, or venturing in the forest to learn about biodiversity and forestry. Throughout the week campers engage in activities that emphasize basic ecological concepts about habitats, species identification, and how organisms and habitats adapt to changes. Campers also consider environmental solutions through activities and scenarios that encourage them to make decisions to mitigate their impacts on the environment.
At camp, youth also have a chance to try new skills, including archery, canoeing, fishing, birding, or taking a hunter education course. Hunter education programs are limited and offer campers a chance to complete their safety certificates on the path to a hunting, bowhunting, or trapping license. Visit Hunter Education at Camp to learn more. Counselors also use the I FISH NY program to teach about fishing and fish identification.
Day trips might include hiking, canoeing in nearby lakes, or visiting local nature museums as the week allows. Each week campers also go on one overnight trip and learn camping skills.
Of course, camp also includes skits, songs, campfires, swimming, and recreation games to round out the week. Many of the games and activities at camp are from environmental education programs like Projects Learning Tree, WILD, & WET, allowing campers to play games while further reinforcing ecological concepts.

Children’s camp as an educational space
, 2019
Vadim Matveev, St. Petersburg
Coach – Filitator,
Coordinator of the Association of Russian Coaches “Arta”
Have you been to a children’s camp? What were they doing there? I spent my entire childhood through adolescence in camps. The older I got, the more difficult it was to go to such institutions; my parents took me from the last camp. This happened due to the absolute misunderstanding of many peers, who at that time were actively learning to smoke and swear. In principle, these are all the skills that appeared in teenagers in many camps of my childhood. Now I understand – they simply closed their need for knowledge.
Over the past 20 years, the situation has changed a lot and the pedagogical community has realized the importance of children’s desire for knowledge and has come to understand that a children’s camp can become a new educational space. The children’s camp has long ceased to be just a place where children only have fun – play, swim, sunbathe. The main trend of recent years is to send children to a camp with meaning, that is, with a specific educational component. In recent years, I was lucky to get acquainted with a variety of meanings of such camps – career guidance, filming, physics and mathematics, project management, history, legal education, development of soft skills, psychology. The children’s camp is actively used as a platform where you can catch up with everything that the school and various sections could not cope with. In fact, non-formal education is actively being introduced into the children’s camp and feels very comfortable there.
Why did this happen? One of the hypotheses is that the school alone cannot cope with all the challenges that the world presents: information quickly becomes outdated, new knowledge constantly appears, there is too much information and it is now available to everyone. Therefore, the focus from knowledge has shifted towards competencies. This is where non-formal education comes into play. The camp is ideal for introducing a real non-formal education program, the principles of which are perfectly transferred to the children’s camp:
Learning through action
Making an event, action or flash mob together with children is a common practice for any children’s camp. The child learns through action – he performs on stage, participates in quests, interactive games. Independence, the desire for knowledge, research skills, and creative activity of schoolchildren are developing. Let’s add an obligatory element – comprehension of action, experience – and we will get the skills of critical thinking, “learning to learn” and others.
Learning through interaction
Children learn to communicate with each other, going beyond the school and the usual circles – they join a new group (team), choose their role and behavior model, learn to interact with other children. They work out important skills to negotiate, find compromises, support others – they live diversity from their own experience.
Equal to equal
The atmosphere of a children’s camp is much more conducive to equal relations between an adult and a child than at school. Here, communication on “you” with counselors / coaches / curators is quite normal. At the same time, it is important for an adult to be more of a friend for a child than a serious specialist who is used to commanding.
Environment matters
This principle of non-formal education draws our attention to the space in which we learn. Creating the right atmosphere through the environment is an important part of both the children’s camp and non-formal education programs. We pay attention to the design of the premises, we can experiment with the locations of events. One simple fact that we will put the children in a circle, and not at desks, will drastically change the atmosphere.
Competence-based approach
Everything is not limited to the transfer of knowledge. Now we are working with skills, habits and values.
Focused on student needs
Strict adherence to the curriculum is a thing of the past: if our program does not suit a particular group of children, we can change it based on the needs of the participants. Yes, and parents vote with the ruble for those programs that meet the needs of the children.
Evaluated by the participant
In the camp it is easy to give up evaluations and ratings and gradually move on to reflection, feedback and self-evaluation. This principle helps to find internal motivation for learning – through one’s own desires and needs, as opposed to external assessment.
By working on the above principles, we can create a new learning environment for our participants. And many camps have long wanted to introduce some principles, but one thing is desire, and another is real practice. On the one hand, the teaching staff is not always ready for such changes, on the other hand, this implies more preliminary work with children and parents.
“I came to the camp to have a rest, but here again this school” – the first teenager who came here to hang out and have fun will object. And he will be partly right. First, it is important to work with the expectations of the children who are sent to the camp. Often a parent, having bought a ticket for an entire educational program, tells the child stories about an ordinary camp, where you can have a good rest and just do nothing. In their advertising campaign, it is important for children’s camps to shift the focus from a beautiful picture of recreation centers to the value of the educational component, it is important to talk about the educational program not only with parents, but also with the child. Secondly, who said that you should forget about entertainment in an educational camp? A cocktail of learning and fun can end up producing a great result – a happy child who has learned something. The professional task of a modern teacher is to finish the missing detail. Whether it’s an entertainment program or an educational aspect. The concept of edutainment teaches to keep a balance between these two components.
Edutainment is a mix of education and entertainment. This concept helps to make learning fun and interesting, thereby increasing the involvement of participants in the educational process.
My work is increasingly connected with setting up an edutainment camp, finding answers to the question How to implement the Edutainment concept in a children’s camp? Simple five tips for anyone who wants to create an educational space from their camp:
Education at the children’s camp should be informal
You already know the first tip. Work according to the principles of non-formal education, gradually reduce the hierarchy, officialdom, frontal delivery of information. Do not create a second school from your camp.
Entertainment and learning support and complement each other.
The big risk of introducing the concept of edutainment is to completely separate entertainment and education. Continue to host the show “Voice” on the shift about “Financial Literacy”. Work on the integrity and consistency of the program, even a disco can be tied to your serious educational topic.
Keep a balance between learning and fun
In the early stages, it is especially important to analyze the goals and formats of work. If you devoted the day to meaningful trainings on “Emotional Intelligence”, then in the evening, relax with the guys watching a movie where the characters vividly show their emotions. The next day will be a great opportunity to discuss the film and reflect.
Use media and technology
Edutainment screams to us about the benefits of new technologies for learning. Do kids love watching YouTube? Show them useful channels on your topic. Do your participants constantly go to VKontakte? Make a group for them where useful content will appear every day. Do kids use their phones at events? Make interactive voting with instant data output to the screen.
Teach holistically
Lectures are great. But it is important to remember that in learning we can involve not only the cognitive segment, but also the practical and emotional segment. There is even a whole concept of holistic (holistic) learning, which talks about this in detail.
Edutainment and non-formal education is the future of the children’s recreation industry, we are moving away from a complete separation of entertainment and educational camps. Now only the first tests are taking place, advanced teachers are introducing the educational segment into the usual summer shift, filling it with more and more meaning. My hypothesis is that there will be more and more such trials every year, and the quality of educational programs will suffer, but we will get a competitive market with a choice.
I sincerely believe that in the future I will be able to create an individual educational route for my child, including a variety of children’s camps. I hope that at the same time I will really have a choice from a palette of quality camps with meaning.

Reviews
The child, of course, liked it. The guys in the camp are good and entertainment without parents at this age is always pleasing. But there are many buts… This is not a camp. The children were accommodated in a hotel where there are other guests, the food is not the best, there was enough for girls, but not for boys. On the way back to Moscow on the train, the children were not fed dinner and breakfast. This not normal. Actually, there is no nurse. The lady who plays the role of the Health Worker does not have a medical education. The contract was drawn up on the knee, even the address of the children was indicated only when I asked. Nobody showed the accompanying documents. Ira and Masha are good, but God forbid something happens, no one answers. For this money it was possible to organize a normal camp. But greed won out. Pity the children. We won’t go again.
Parent Inna, September 11, 2019
I would call myself an extremely reverent mother: I used to be always afraid to send my child to camps that involve a train ride / plane flight. We studied at the courses, once they called us, offered to go to a camp on the Black Sea. I asked my son how he looks at it (14 years old). The son, as he heard about the camp, began to tell that his teacher in the courses told stories from the camp, in general, praised and so on. Okay, I decided to call that number back. According to the description, of course, everything is fine, it seems to me, as they would tell me everywhere else. I went to the schedule, even talked to the manager. Oddly enough, I trusted these people more and more. We bought a ticket for the 2nd shift, the guys go by train. The conditions on the train were not the best, but the tickets were not the most expensive either. The guys started their shift and their training.. So, the shift ended, and my child returned very happy, he talked about the camp, it seems to me, for another two months, he dreamed of returning there. Now they often see the guys from the camp, often communicate with the leaders. I also saw some of them by chance – they were grown-up guys who are not afraid to entrust children. In general, I highly appreciate the camp, the program, the mood and the people who organize it all. I’m glad I sent my child to this camp. Another – he does not want to choose. Thank you!!!

Children’s camps in the Nizhny Novgorod region – recreation and health promotion
You can go to the recreation camp for children “Salyut” at any time of the year! Inexpensive country vacation combines entertainment, good nutrition and activities aimed at improving the health of each of the pupils.
On this official site you will find all the information about the children’s camp:
the program of the next shifts;
contact information;
living conditions;
what circles and sections pupils will be able to attend;
information about wellness procedures;
visiting policy for parents.
In addition, it is convenient to book tours for any of the shifts you like.
Sanatorium for children
Children’s health center “Salyut” is often called a sanatorium for children. The fact is that this is an institution of a sanatorium and health-improving type, and staying here is much cheaper than trips to an ordinary sanatorium. Rest in the camp will be especially useful for children with disorders of the musculoskeletal system (flat feet, posture disorders), respiratory and nervous systems, as well as digestive organs.
Depending on the state of health, the child may be prescribed massage, physiotherapy, regular use of mineral water and herbal teas, physiotherapy exercises. For more information, see the “Treatment” section.
Perhaps the most popular wellness procedure is speleotherapy – a visit to a salt cave with a special microclimate. It strengthens the immune system, prevents colds and skin diseases, calms the nerves and has a beneficial effect on the cardiovascular system. Clean forest air also contributes to health improvement: the children’s camp is located among a pine forest.
Physical health largely depends on the emotional state. Therefore, much attention is paid to social adaptation, so that children feel comfortable among their peers. Perhaps, all camp events are aimed at team building and development of communication skills: group tasks, games, hobby groups, classes with a psychologist – individually and in groups.
Telephone for communication – (83161) 2-99-83. We are sure that by visiting the children’s health camp “Salute”, your child will want to come back here again!
What summer camp looks like today
However, a significant proportion of children – about 80 percent – will spend their holidays in day camps at schools. Only slightly more than 5 percent of children can go to the usual summer camps – on the seas, lakes, rivers, in the mountains. The once familiar and widespread system of summer camps for children is still inaccessible. According to Rosstat, in 2005 there were about 52 thousand of them, by 2015 even less – 45 thousand. In 2018, the trend reversed, 47.2 thousand camps were opened.
The reason for the slow growth in the number of camps is that this requires substantial capital investment.
How does the pioneer camp heir live? What gives today’s counselors the most headache – from deep immersion of children in gadgets or from the need to protect them from too early sex? Experts of “RG” answer these and other burning questions.
At home among strangers
At the turn of the 90s, the pioneer camp was ridiculed as an imposed form of collective recreation, preference was given to everything individual. Today this fashion is outdated. Both children and parents dream of camps (and not only because they want to take a break from the child.
Vladimir Kudryavtsev, Doctor of Psychology: The motive “to get rid of the child”, to hand him over to a summer country camp, as if to a locker, because a city apartment needs repairs, etc., should not be decisive. The child should be sent to the camp, not because we are cramped, bored, etc., but because it is useful for him to go there.
But the main benefit of summer camps for children rehabilitated in the public consciousness is a magnificent school of socialization of the child.
After all, a family, a home – with all the advantages of home life – is a big, expanded “I”. School is also familiar people, your inner circle. But the team at the summer camp is not exactly “foreign” people, but, of course, people are “distant”. And you must enter into live communication with these distant people.
The camp teaches children about human rapprochement, allows the child to express himself in a different way and open up unexpectedly.
In the early 1990s, a schoolboy was brought to me, in all the plots of collective school life he hid like a mouse under a broom, and eventually turned into a victim of bullying and mobbing. His mother brought him, we talked and together we decided to send him to a pioneer camp.
The solution was 100% justified. There he got into a new team and began to build relationships with the guys from scratch. There were many interesting games in the camp, he became the best player, gained experience, brought some of the games to his classmates and soon turned from an outsider into a leader. This is really a real experience of socialization. And he was not only socialized, but also individualized, he found himself there, saw himself from an unusual side … It is the team that helps to find and develop your individuality.
Elizaveta Chernova, leader of the “Ocean Squadron” team of the All-Russian Children’s Center “Ocean” in Primorye: The summer camp does not just socialize children. Ours, for example, is busy with their psychological rehabilitation. Children are sent to Ocean after emergencies. Now, for example, we are waiting for children who survived the flood in the Irkutsk region.
Children also came to us after fires, some of them burned down their house, some of their parents died… Such a child has shaky emotions, you need to be very careful with him… These children are closed, sometimes they cry, sometimes they are silent … But, I think, it would be much more difficult for them if they did not get into a summer camp.
Counselor as the call of the soul
Summer camp can only become a “happy practice” for children when it is real. When his “adult part” is the director of the camp, the workers, and especially the counselors, are excellent teachers and good people. According to the Ministry of Education and Science, today there are over 97,000 counselors in the country. Most of them are students. That is, not professionals, but volunteers. So what is a counselor – a profession or a call of the soul?
Alexey Kasprzhak, ex-general director of Artek: I am fundamentally against the opposition of volunteerism and professionalism. In counseling, volunteering is the norm. For example, I enjoy being a volunteer. And making money here, of course, is not the main thing. In the camp, although this is not a classic pedagogical practice, you can acquire those competencies that, most likely, you will not receive in the classroom of the university. I think that for everyone who is going to become a teacher, leader practice is obligatory. We are now nostalgic for the level of responsibility of the Soviet teacher in relation to children, but let’s not forget that they all went through the “school of counselors”, and this is responsibility for the child to the end.
Kudryavtsev: But people also need to be prepared for volunteering. Many volunteer courses after graduating from university.
The pedagogical skill of counselors is not limited to competence or familiarity with methods. Before him is a serious “challenge” – from scratch, in one shift (if you’re lucky, in two or three) to re-create a children’s team. Young people of leader age themselves often cannot unite in a team. How to create a child? Of what? And not just to create, but to support it… Realizing that today the dosage of active participation in the lives of children and – this is important – “non-pressure” on them is very important. Because pressure can destroy the best of what is created. And there after all not every Makarenko.
Aleksey Kasprzhak, ex-general director of Artek: Yes, in fashionable, modern and in-demand camps today, a child is always on an equal footing with an adult. In general, the modern educational situation does not imply a smart and a fool.
Elizaveta Chernova, counselor: I have been a counselor for four years already. To put it highly, I became a counselor by the will of fate and spiritual preference. And if simply, my mother said: “Nimble? Grip? Go to the counselors!”. And I was not mistaken. But first I went to study at the pedagogical school. Because it may be easier to be a counselor without a special education, but with it, it seems to me, it is more interesting and more practical: knowledge gives confidence and methodology. You know which way to approach the child.
Children should be treated like school. This is a socialization school full of games and freedom
Are you a strict leader?
Elizaveta Chernova: Well, I’m definitely not a teddy bear. At some point, I can hug. But “carrot and stick” is about me. It’s not that I like to punish, but I think that fair severity for a counselor is a necessary trait. So that the children do not sit on the neck. We have another task here. Not to entertain and please, but to teach something useful for life.
Therefore, the role of “best friend” with whom the child can discuss even intimate problems is incorrect. Here it is important not to cross the fine line between the positions of a senior comrade and a shirt-guy. Another thing is that with any child, small or teenager, you need to talk like an adult.
Can you handle the capital’s major, spoiled and boorish?
Liza Chernova: A spoiled “son” with a fancy gadget can suddenly turn out to be a good sportsman. Or an actor. Or an artist … The main thing is to talk to him in time and keep him busy. It is not so difficult to create an environment for him where he will feel at ease.
A few years ago, advanced Moscow youth tried to make the figure of a counselor fashionable. Musicians, writers, and designers were invited to the Kamchatka camp as educators.
Aleksey Kasprzhak, ex-general director of Artek: And little by little she is becoming fashionable. Stop thinking that young men and women who have nothing to do go to counselors. No, they do it consciously, and leader skills are important to them. In addition, being a counselor becomes prestigious in terms of a future career.
We, together with Headhunter, found out that the indication of guidance in Artek in one’s portfolio gives a person additional points when applying for a particular position.
Liza Chernova: I also think that this activity is absolutely in the style of the times. It is not for nothing that in universities they began to specifically teach to be a counselor. This is a profession where a person can fully realize himself, you can go into it with his head, and it should be made the main occupation of life.
What is your salary?
Liza Chernova: Normal (with a smile). But they go to counselors not because of money, but in order to make a hobby dear to you a profession. It is usually important for counselors to express themselves, they are artistic and sociable. Leadership work is quite multifaceted.
Don’t go to Syamozero
The safety problem still remains in the first place. After the tragedy at the Karelian Syamozero, when 14 children drowned due to the fault of adults, the camps began to be checked and closed due to violations of safety rules. How does the situation look now?
Nadezhda Perfilova, director of the Moscow school N 2098, deputy of the Moscow City Duma, author of the project “For a Safe Childhood”: I am very pleased with the revival of interest in counseling work, but our project rightly recommends that parents persistently ask the management of all types of camps about the status of their leaders. The counselor must have a certificate or diploma of graduation from the school of counselors. Moreover, parents have every right not to trust the counselor of their child if he is a college student and he is 15-16 years old.
We also remind everyone that instructors who take children on hikes must have a “Junior Tourism Instructor” certificate.
According to the Federal State Statistics Service, drownings rank first among seasonal accidents with children, falling out of windows and accidents in road accidents rank second, and adolescent suicides rank third.
Armine Voronova, researcher at the Psychological Institute of the Russian Academy of Education: When I quote these statistics to parents, I always say: “You must remember that you are not giving your children to overseers.” Unfortunately, adults have two extremes in relation to children’s recreation. The first is the craving for hyper-socialization of children, when they are “handed over” for all three shifts and often “forget” to visit the child even on “parents’ day.” The second is distrust of teachers. Things got to the point that in Moscow the parents sued and fired the teacher because he … asked the student to erase something not written by him from the board.
Parents should treat children’s holidays as if they were continuing their studies. Only this is a study on the social development of the child. And necessarily through games, the basics of first aid, and rescue on the water or on a hike are so easy to learn.
You bastard!
The rest regimen in many summer camps prescribes, if not taking away gadgets from children, then sharply limiting the time they use them. And not only because the parents can have a video of any conflict situation in a few seconds on their phones.
Summer camps have a good goal to replace sitting on the Internet with playing football, interesting reading, retelling of what they read…
Liza Chernova, counselor: And this, in general, is easy. Because in the camp, children really do not always have phones on hand. “On the calm” (translated from the camp slang – during the rest) there is time to call home, surf the Internet, write and upload a photo to Instagram. But time is limited. We have the most loaded “real life schedule”.
Vladimir Kudryavtsev, psychologist: But, unfortunately, today’s children are almost in symbiosis with gadgets. Parents throw them literally into the stroller. And then they stick it like a convenient pacifier to keep the child busy, and sit down to watch the TV yourself.
Therefore, taking away a gadget from a child is like. .. tearing off an arm, both panic and pseudo-panic attacks are possible here. It seems to me that it is not necessary to take away gadgets in the camp harshly, forcibly and for the whole day, but it is worth limiting their use.
And of course, it’s better not to ban them, but to replace them with games, fairy tales, trips, and amateur theatre. Aerobatics – to achieve that the child himself, voluntarily, in a game with himself, limited his gadget-time. Let the phone lie next to you and look at you. And you do not take it, although you can take it at any time.

Like for summer camp
What do kids love today?
Alexey Kasprzhak, ex-director of Artek:
– For four and a half years I have been running the best camp in the country, and maybe in the world, and I can responsibly declare: children love to play what they do adults. They make films, make TV, go on long trips, they love to cook. They are interested in creating a real, not an educational, not a school product that will remain a layout. It is important for them that what they have created is available on the Internet, collects likes, and evokes a reaction from adults. My children sang, danced, designed, launched satellites into orbit, discovered new planets … And sometimes they did it more effectively than adults.
By the way
The counselor is now taught in 145 universities and 181 educational organizations. In 2018, over 39,000 people received this profession. If we take into account that about 27 students were trained a year before, then the popularity of the leader’s work is growing at a cosmic pace.
The Moscow State Pedagogical University is the federal coordinating center for the training and support of counselors.
Blitz interview with counselor
Sea of charm
Should a counselor be beautiful?
Liza Chernova: Appearance plays a role. Children are greeted by clothes. But beauty is only a small bonus. More important is charisma. If a person is not charming and does not have an inner core, he will not attract children. They quickly figure out what’s inside.
Do children bring expensive jewelry and clothes to camp?
Liza Chernova: Yes, a variety of children come, and according to the financial situation of their parents. But our camp has its own uniform – and this makes things easier.
A friend’s son visited an advertised camp on the Black Sea. One of the main impressions is sex among teenagers. The daughter of another says: to prevent this from happening between boys and girls at night, they were given a bucket for the toilet and locked in houses with a key.
You have to respect an animal that can make a toy out of an empty cardboard box. Or a bag. Or a simple ball of yarn. Whether they know it or not, cat people constantly try to prove to their felines that they, too, can make something out of nothing. For those creative moments, we’ve gathered 20 DIY cat toys that will definitely entertain — not to mention save you a little money and perhaps reuse something you may have otherwise thrown away.
Give kitty one of these homemade cat toys, and we promise they’ll be wondering what other extraordinary things two-legged creatures like you are capable of!
1. Toilet paper roll toys
Image via Papaya Wonton/Instagram
One of the easiest DIY cat toys out there, a plain old toilet paper roll can be hours of fun for a kitty, as demonstrated by Papaya Wonton. Or if you’re feeling crafty, jazz up a toilet paper roll by stuffing some treats inside and folding the sides, as suggested by Staying Close to Home.
2. Feather fascinator
You’ll need loose craft feathers, mesh braids, string and needle, elastic and a small plastic ring to make this feathery toy from Dream a Little Bigger, which, like its name implies, will fully fascinate your feline friend until he or she just isn’t anymore (because: cats). First, sew the braids together into a bunch, then sew feathers to the ends of each of the braids. Bind all your mesh tubes together with some elastic, leaving a long piece for it to hang from. Tie a ring at the end.
3. Ultimate kitty puzzle
Image via Arnica Jolene/Instagram
It’s simple, really: Take two things cats love — toilet paper rolls and boxes — and fashion them into a toy. But this is not just any cat toy. Add pipe-cleaners, a cardboard egg carton, and a few balls and you have what looks like a kitty pinball machine. Arnica Jolene, whose parents came up with the idea, is quite the pinball wizard — with whiskers.
4. Cat scratch door hanger
OK, if the words “meter box and saw” mean absolutely nothing to you, skip immediately to #5. If you’re all about a small amount of Chip Gaines handiwork, this cat scratch door hanger is the purr-fect project for you. Cut your wood as the Design Sponge directions suggest and glue them together with wood glue. Hot glue some sisal rope around it — note: few cats can resist sisal rope — and detail it with your favorite color string. Use a drill to make some holes where you’ll tie a leather cord and hang.
5. Tree stump scratch pad
Image via Sussie and Kich/Instagram
Bring the outdoors in with this scratching post that would make Paul Bunyan proud. As this YouTube video shows, use clear tape to secure your rolled cardboard (three and a half inches thick) into a circle-like stump. Glue cork on the outside to look like bark or, as Sussie and Kich did, use real bark, wood glue and tie around rope. The result is a rustic-looking stump that kitty will totally cop a squat on — especially if you add catnip.
6. Cardboard catscraper
Styled like a skyscraper made for kitties this “catscraper” from Shelterness is fashioned from stacked cardboard that your cat will definitely want to sharpen those claws on. The key to keeping it vertical is constructing a super sturdy base with an equally sturdy dowel positioned in the center. Stack the carefully cut cardboard pieces (one on top of the other) until get the skyscraper shape you desire. The modus operandi here: The taller the better!
7. Wiggle wand toy
Take it from Pudge, the Insta-famous cat in this how-to video, this is the toy your feline wants right meow. To make it you’ll need leather and cord thread, a wire cutter, pliers, a dowel, superglue, a bell, and felt (for the faux feathers). Pudge may or may not have fallen asleep while making this toy, but that is in no way a reflection of how fun it is to play with.
8. Cat puzzle toy
Cut holes in the top of a disposable food container with a utility knife to make this cat puzzle toy. (The folks at The Glam Cat burnt the edges of the holes with a lighter to make it softer on kitty’s paws). Fill the container with items your cat will totally flip over, such as catnip toys, balls, and treats. Close the container and let kitty’s noggin do the rest.
9. DIY cat tent

Dig through your closet for a medium-sized T-shirt which is the key ingredient for this adorable little kitty abode, courtesy of Jenna How. A piece of cardboard, two wire hangers, and tape help you achieve a cool tent frame. Safety pins help you secure the shirt to the frame. Put a cozy blanket inside and your cat is ready for some shut-eye.
10. Cat dancer toy
One reason you won’t be making this flying feather and pom pom cat toy from Joy the Baker while your kitty is around: catnip. When kitty is napping, cut colorful felt into fun shapes, stuff each with catnip and sew both sides of the shapes together. Attach pieces of string to a rod and tie the shapes you made to the end of each. For added fun, put pom-poms and feathers on each catnip shape with hot glue.
11. Cardboard hide-and-seek toy
Image via Mochi the Cute Fluff/Instagram
Got a cardboard box and a pair of scissors? Then you’ve got everything you need to make one of the cheapest, most engaging cat toys around. As Mochi the Cute Fluff shows on Instagram, this cardboard hide-and-seek toy will have your kitty entertained for a good chunk of time.
12. Junk food cat toys
Give your Garfield all the junk food he dreams about! Cut some colored felt into donut, burger and hot dog shapes, stuff with catnip and then sew with colored embroidery thread. All the details for making these felt junk food cat toys are over at A Beautiful Mess.
These DIY pom poms from Ventuno Art are perfect for knitters with kitties (who constantly interrupt their knitting). Wrap yarn around a fork (like spaghetti) approximately 60 times, then tie some yarn down the middle. Carefully slip it off and trim the edges on both sides. Voila, ready for a game of catch.
14. Cattail catnip toy
Sew4Home has a downloadable pattern for this one-seam catnip toy. You just need home decor weight fabric, matching all purpose thread, yarn, catnip, and a chopstick to achieve the right shape. Another very important tool that’s needed: a funnel, to help you get the catnip inside!
15. Cat fishing pole
This toy is a must for any cat that’s licked its lips while gazing at the fish bowl. Making the fish might be the most complicated part of this wand-like fishing pole toy by Lia Griffith, but the adorable result is well worth the effort glueing on gils. Cotton clothesline attaches the fish to the dowel which they recommend painting blue for an aquatic aesthetic.
16. Pirate ship scratching post
Image via Jenny Rae Gibson/Instagram
Why make your cat an ordinary scratching post when you can make them a pirate ship scratching post a la Jenny Rae Gibson?! Not only will your kitty be entertained for hours, you’ll have a cute show piece for your home to boot!
17. T-shirt cat toys
If you can tie your shoes, you can make these easy DIY T-shirt cat toys! Cut up old tees, says Muslin and Merlot, into 3 inch by 10 inch rectangles (the more colorful the better). Simply tie them into knots — like we said: easy, peasy!
18. No-sew pom poms
If we had you at “no sew,” we appreciate your desire to keep things easy. These pom pom toys from Sensibly Sara are made with scraps of fleece (at least 2 inches wide), inexpensive cotton string and a pair of scissors. Catnip optional.
19. Simple sisal rope cat scratcher
Image via Centsational Style/Instagram
Want to keep your cat entertained and put an end to couch/general furniture-scratching. Kate Riley from Centsational Style has the solution — a simple sisal rope cat scratcher. It’s easy to make, easy to look at and will keep your arm chairs intact.
20. Wine cork cat toy
Drinking and crafting aren’t generally recommended, but using wine corks to make cat toys totally is! Per The Link Site instructions, make a hole in the cork with a nail and use a pair of pliers to pull it out again. Use a darning needle to pull yarn through the hole. Tie tassels at the bottom and make sure the yarn is at least 30 centimeters long so you have ample dangling distance (because: claws!)

How to Make a Stylish Cat Food Puzzle
Make your kitty work a little harder for his treats with this DIY cat food puzzle that’s pretty enough to leave out. It comes together fast with only a box, a basic plumbing supply from the hardware store, and glue. Place treats and toys in the compartments, and hide some of them behind crumpled pieces of paper. Your cat will love “hunting” for his food as he tries to figure out how to get at the goodies!
MaterialS
Plain wood box (a sturdy cardboard photo storage box would also work well. Decorate the box however you like!)
PVC pressure couplings in various sizes (pictured here are 1/2″, 1″, and 1 1/2″ couplings)
E6000 or other strong clear glue
Note: To make sure my PVC couplings all fit, I took the box with me to the plumbing aisle and made a mockup right in the store. No extra pieces!
Step 1
Remove the box hardware if it has any, and decorate the box (here I kept things simple by painting half of the box white).
Then, arrange all of the PVC couplings in the box. If couplings have text printed on them, you can hide it by turning the text so it’s facing another coupling.
Step 2
Add glue to the bottom of each coupling…
Step 3
…and glue into place. That’s it!
Once the box has dried, your cat will have a new puzzle feeder to challenge her hunting instincts. This would be a great cat toy to make with your kids!
How to Make a Catnip Sock for Cats
Have you ever noticed how cats love to kick their “prey” with their hind legs as they are playing? This toy is extra long so your cat can kick away! The catnip filling makes it a guaranteed hit with your fur babies. All you need to make this easy homemade cat toy is a knee-length sock, dried catnip, and fiber fill, so it’s an inexpensive cat toy, too.
Materials
Knee-length socks
Catnip
Fiber fill
Scissors
Faux leather lace or other cord
E6000 or other clear strong glue
Step 1
Cut the foot off of a knee-length sock, and part of the cuff if necessary (you want the final toy to be slightly shorter than the length of your cat’s body).
Step 2
Tightly tie off one end of the sock with a double knot. For extra security, you can add a small dab of E6000 to the underside of the knot.
Step 3
Stuff the sock with fiber fill and catnip. I found the easiest way to distribute the catnip evenly throughout the sock was to spread out a bunch of fiber fill and sprinkle catnip on top of it. Then, push the fiber fill bunch into the sock. Continue until the sock is completely stuffed.
Be generous with the catnip — you want kitty to smell it through all the fabric, and dried catnip will lose some potency out of its sealed container.
Step 4
To finish the homemade catnip sock, tie off the end as before, and add a dab of glue under the knot.
This is a great way to use old socks that are too worn for your feet. Your cat will love pouncing on and kicking her cuddly new loot!
How to Make a Modern Cat Wand Toy with Wood and Leather
The classic wand toy gets a modern upgrade with the help of faux leather fabric in this simple DIY. Just grab a dowel, string, and glue, and you’re on your way to making another fun homemade cat toy for your cat to bat around!
materials
Wooden dowel
Leather lace
Faux or real leather fabric
Cotton twine
Scissors
E6000 or other clear strong glue
Step 1
Cut a piece of faux leather fabric about the width of your hand. This will make the “grip.” Wrap the fabric around one end of the dowel and secure with glue.
You will need to wrap the fabric tightly around the dowel, and apply a line of glue every few turns.
Clothespins or binder clips can help hold the fabric in place while you allow the glue to dry for a few minutes before continuing.
Step 2
When the faux leather grip has dried, flip the dowel over so you are working with the other end.
Cut off a piece of cotton string a little longer than two feet, and glue one end of the string to the dowel.
Step 3
Now cut an 8″ length of faux leather lace to wrap this end of the dowel.
Glue the end of the lace to the dowel, then wrap the cord tightly and evenly around the dowel, applying more glue every few turns. Trim the end of the lace and hold in place with another dab of glue.
Step 4
Next, make the tassel toy. Find an object that is approximately the length of the final tassels. The object can be anything; pictured here is the case for my external hard drive, which is a little larger than my hand.
Place the end of the cotton string on the object, with a tail of about 4″. This will be used to attach the tassel to the wand.
Wrap the leather lace around the object roughly 20 times. More will make a fluffier tassel, less will make a thinner tassel.
Tightly tie the end of the cotton string around the lace threads with a double knot.
Turn over the object, and cut through the lace threads right in the middle.
Gather all the tassel pieces so they are hanging down in the same direction. Then tie tightly with another piece of cotton string.
Step 5
Finish the toy by wrapping the string around the “head” of the tassel several times. Tuck the end under the loops, and secure with a dot of glue.
Finished! You just made another easy DIY cat toy for your cat.
Pin this DIY for later!
Now that you know how to make homemade cat toys, let’s talk more about how to actually PLAY with your cat!
What do cats like to play with?
Maybe you’ve just come home with a new feline addition to your family, or you’d like to help your current kitty companion shed that extra pound by playing with her more. Learning a little about how cats like to play will get you two having fun play sessions in no time!
What types of toys do cats like?
In the animal kingdom, play is all about practice. For predatory animals like cats, this means practicing the hunt. Kittens learn how to hunt by observing their parents and play stalking and attacking each other.
Our house cats don’t need to hunt since their food comes from a can. But, they don’t know that! Cats still have strong hunting instincts, and they love to play to hone their skills.
This means, cats like toys that resemble “prey.” Depending on your cat’s personal preference, she may like chasing birds, mice, insects, or all three.

To find out which type of prey your cat prefers to chase, try playing with her using a toy that moves or sounds like a bird. The wand toy above is great to use here. See how she reacts when you move the toy like a bird. Then, try a toy that moves like a mouse, and one that moves like an insect. Does she react more strongly to one or the other?
If you’ve never done this before and aren’t sure what to do, watch some nature shows of big cats hunting and notice how the prey moves, and how the cats respond! Try to make your cat’s toys come to life as different prey. Your kitty will love “hunting” the toys.
Puzzle toys are also wonderful to get your cat interested in playing. While this type of toy doesn’t move, your cat has to use his senses to work out how to access the treats. This is just like trying to hunt for a small animal that has hidden itself.
What toys do cats hate?
There are many household objects that make fun, free cat toys, like crumpled pieces of paper, boxes, and toilet paper tubes.
But, did you know that cats hate tin foil? They despise the sound it makes and the texture under their paws.
The same goes for sticky surfaces, like double-sided sticky tape. (Incidentally, this means that both of these items can make great training tools!)
You’ll also want to avoid trying to play with your cat with toys that make loud sounds. And some cats have more individual preferences. My senior cat, Champ, loved crumpled paper, but was afraid of pretty much everything else!
Why do cats like boxes?

Every cat owner knows there are times when the packaging is better than the gift, at least according to the cat! As far as animal behaviorists have been able to work out, cats like boxes for a few reasons:
A cardboard box makes a great hideout. Cats feel safe in small spaces that are hidden, yet provide an exit for escape.
Cats like to avoid conflict, and for multi-cat households, boxes can be a “do not disturb” signal to the others.
Boxes made of cardboard are insulating, and cats prefer a warmer average temperature than we do. (Also why kitty loves to sleep on your laptop!)
Do indoor cats need special toys?
Cats that go outdoors tend to have shorter lifespans on average than cats that live indoors: 2-5 years compared to 13-17! But, outdoor cats get a LOT more exercise and mental stimulation than indoor cats.
To make up for this, indoor cats should have a rich home environment, including toys that satisfy their need to hunt. Check out the bottom of this post for some great examples.
What kinds of toys are safe for cats?

Keeping cats out of trouble can be a little like…well, herding cats. Those notoriously curious felines are prone to get into anything and everything. Let’s talk about how to keep your kitties safe during playtime.
Toys that are not safe for your cat:
Pieces of string, balls of yarn, ribbon, and rubber bands: Even though cats LOVE the simple pleasure of swatting and chasing strings, it is not safe to allow cats to play with any loose strings or similar objects. And they should never play with string (including wand toys) unattended. Cats will frequently swallow strings, which can become entangled in their intestines and lead to complicated (and expensive) surgery. Always store any cat toys that have strings on them away when playtime is over.
Plastic bags, packing peanuts, and bubble wrap: These items can be very appealing to cats because of the crinkly sound and texture, but as with young children, there is a danger of suffocation and swallowing.
Toys containing small loose filling, like plastic beads: That rattling sound is so enticing to your cat, but of course, his desire to capture and rip apart his “prey” makes this an unsafe choice. Swallowing lots of tiny beads? That’s a vet visit you want to avoid!
In general, avoid leaving your cat alone with anything that is small enough to be swallowed, has parts that can easily be torn off, or can get her tangled up.
Your hand is not a toy: This one is to keep you safe! It can be fun to wave your fingers in your cat’s face, especially when she is a kitten, but this will only teach her to pounce on and bite you. And because cats lick their own bums, their mouths are an actual cesspool of germs. Cat bites are no joke, avoid them!
These toys ARE safe for your cat:

Plush toys: As long as they are sturdy enough to withstand being chewed on without being ripped open, small and large plushies are great kitten toys. Adult cats enjoy plush toys too–some cats even like to cuddle and sleep with them!
Catnip: Catnip affects all cats differently. Some are crazy about it, others ignore it completely. Some cats like to eat the fresh or dried catnip leaves, some prefer to sniff it and roll around in it. Catnip can cause your cat to be drowsy, OR to turn into an off-the-wall cat maniac! Regardless, both fresh and dried catnip are safe for your kitties. Don’t give them more than a tablespoon or two though, as too much of a good thing can cause vomiting.
Catnip-filled toys: Since catnip is safe for kitties to eat, it is perfectly fine to give cats catnip toys, even if they end up torn apart.
Balls: Make sure they are large enough that your curious cat can’t swallow them. Try tossing a few ping pong balls into a bathtub for a cheap and easy way to entertain your cat! Sturdy plastic shower curtain rings are also fun to bat around.
Mouse toys, crinkle toys, and other pet store toys: Yes! Just watch out for the “no-nos” above.
Paper, paper bags, and boxes: Crumpled up pieces of paper can be a greatsource of entertainment. And we all know how much cats enjoy stalking paper bags! Be sure to remove the handles on the bag first, so your cat doesn’t get stuck in them. And cardboard boxes are a given — even if it doesn’t fits, it sits.
A note on licking and chewing paper and plastic: It’s normal for cats to do this when they are playing, but if your cat is excessively seeking out every single thing made of paper or plastic just so she can lick and suck the item, it could be a sign of a nutritional deficiency or other medical condition. Get a checkup with her veterinarian to be safe!
Laser toys: Looking directly into a laser beam for a long time can be dangerous to the retina, for both humans and cats. But, most cheap laser pointers that you buy at pet stores or office supply stores don’t have a strong enough laser to cause damage if the cat accidentally looks at the beam for a moment. When playing with a laser toy, be careful that you are not shining it at kitty’s face, and stay away from automatic laser-shooting toys, since you can’t control where the beam is directed.
Feathers: Chewing on feathers satisfies a cat’s natural craving to HUNT, but swallowing them can lead to an intestinal blockage. As with other toys that might accidentally be swallowed, feathers are ok –under supervision!
How often should I play with my cat?
In my day job at a cat-only veterinary clinic, I’ve found that people often choose cats as pets because they believe cats are so independent that they don’t need much attention. And it’s true, cats ARE very independent. They are solitary hunters who can be very territorial, and famously have minds of their own.
But, cats are still social mammals that crave affection and bonding just like we do. And, just like us, they need exercise, variety, and mental stimulation! So how often should you play with your cat?
Image via Jessica L. Fisher
The feline experts at Cat Behavior Associates recommend one to two 15-minute interactive play sessions with you a day. Each play session should end with allowing your cat to “catch” the toy, and getting a treat reward, so she can feel like a successful hunter!
I know, we are all busy, and that sounds like a lot. If you’re not there yet, try working in a few minutes of playtime with your cat every night before you go to bed. It will be fun for both of you, and will help her get rid of excess energy so she doesn’t wake you up mewling at 4am.
While not a replacement for “live” playtime with you, automatic toys can help supplement these play sessions for the extra lively cat. Give these toys a try:
Electronic Cat Toys
SmartyKat Hot Pursuit: My personal favorite! Know a cat that loves to attack your feet under the covers? Who doesn’t! This toy mimics that movement perfectly. It even got my timid senior kitty to overcome his fear of toys!
Purrfect Feline Premium Interactive Cat Toy
Adrance Electronic Interactive Cat Toy
If you are providing your kitty with regular interactive play, window perches, and other stimulation, but still find that he is keeping you up at all hours tearing through the house, consider leash-training him for outdoor play sessions!

Do cat toys need to be cleaned?
I’m not a germophobe, but every now and then I notice my cat Jax use the litter box, and then immediately start swatting his favorite catnip mouse around. EW.
Cats really care about having a clean environment, but they do clean themselves with their tongues, and then carry their toys in their mouths. Let’s give their toys a quick clean once in a while for everyone’s sake.
Image via Amazon
How to clean cat toys:
Plush toys: Toss them in the washing machine with a scent-free detergent (cats have a strong sense of smell!). It’s best to place the toys in a delicates bag so they don’t get too roughed up. Air dry or tumble dry low.
Rubber or plastic toys: Soak in hot soapy water for 20 minutes, then rinse and air dry.
Catnip-filled toys: Catnip will not survive a soaking, so it’s best to spot-clean with a lightly damp cloth. If the toy is refillable, you can empty out the catnip, wash the toy as above, and then fill with new catnip.
Toys with feathers: Feather toys also won’t make it through the wash, so you’ll have to spot-clean these as well.
Cat trees: Use a vacuum hose or lint roller to clean off cat hair, then use a damp soapy rag to spot-clean any soiled areas.
Speaking of soiled, the best cleaning product to clean up cat pee, vomit, or poop, is Nature’s Miracle! It is formulated with enzymes that break down the waste. It REALLY saved the day when my feral cat started a literal pissing contest in my home!
Cat beds: Vacuum or lint-roll periodically, and every now and then run them through a laundry cycle.

The Best Cat Toys to Buy
To buy, or DIY? That’s always the question for us makers. If you’re looking fore more time to play with your feline family members, consider going with store-bought toys.
I showed you my favorite electronic cat toys above. Now, give these other options a try.
Interactive Cat Toys
Interactive cat toys allow you and your cat to play together. These are toys that you bring to life for your cat during your play sessions. From my experience with my own cats, and what I’ve learned working in a cat hospital, these are my favorites:
Image via Amazon
1. GoCat Da Bird
This wand toy is an absolute MUST for cat households. Even if you think your cat doesn’t like chasing birds after testing his prey preference, it’s worth giving Da Bird a go. It truly is the best cat wand toy on the market.
When you twirl the wand in the air, the feathers make a “whoosh,” just like bird wings in flight. Every cat I’ve used this toy with has leaped and even somersaulted to try to catch it!
Image via Doctors Foster and Smith
2. Leaps & Bounds Caterpillar Cat Teaser
This toy is great for cats who prefer a prey that “skitters.” Twitch it along the floor and watch them pounce!
Image via Jackson Galaxy
3. Ground Prey Telescoping Wand
Another skittering toy, this one from Jackson Galaxy, is perfect to tantalize cats who respond to insect hunting.
Image via Amazon
4. Cat Dancer
Another personal favorite. I mean of course, personal favorite of Jax. The Cat Dancer is a cheap but amazing cat toy that bounces around at the slightest hand motion, fluttering erratically like a moth. You’ll be amazed at how little effort it takes to get the laziest cat on her feet with this toy.
Chewy Cat Toys
Cats love to rip and gnaw and BITE their prey. These toys encourage cats that like to chew to direct that energy to the right place, rather than your shoes.
Image via Amazon
1. Petstages Dental Kitty Chew Wheel
Ideal for younger cats, but still good for adults—this toy satisfies that urge some cats have to chew on everything.
Image via Petsmart
2. Petstages Catnip Chew Mouse
Another Petstages winner! This toy gets my vote for best chewy cat toy because…it has catnip in it. So of course it will attract that pesky chewy cat!
Image via Chewy
3. Northmate Catch Interactive Cat Feeder
While not a toy exactly, this feeder treats a chewing-related issue: eating too fast. To get her dry food dinner, your cat will have to grab the kibble with her paws, forcing her to eat more slowly. No more post-meal vomiting!
Cat Trees and Cat Condos
Image via Amazon
1. Songmics Cat Tree
How beautiful is this sleek and modern cat tree? I like that it doesn’t have any carpet fibers for my cat to shred and scatter, and cats generally prefer sisal for scratching. The tree is small and space-saving, provides a perch with a rim the cat can snuggle against, multiple levels, and a little hiding hole. This one is on my shopping list for Jax!
Image via Overstock
2. Sophia Wall-Mounted Cat Shelves
Cat shelves are a great choice for agile apartment cats and their space-lacking humans.
Image via Amazon
3. Furhaven Deluxe Playground
For those who have more floor space, this cat condo has it all: plenty of scratching posts, perches on multiple levels, and even an integrated puzzle toy!
Image via Amazon
4. PetFusion Ultimate Cat Scratcher Lounge
I’ve seen this lounger in action, and the glowing reviews are fully justified. Cats love it!
Image via Amazon
5. Vesper Cat Tree
If you’re looking for a mid century style cat tree, this is the highest-rated choice. The best part is the huge sisal poles for scratching.
Image via Amazon
6. Songmics Large Multi-Level Cat Tower
Cats are excellent time-sharers, but when you have a large fur family, it’s best to provide everyone with a perch. That’s why this cat tree is a great option for multi-cat households.
Cat Videos for Cats
Image by Gary Allman
We’ve all seen cats gazing out the window, watching for birds, squirrels, and rival cats. But some cats also enjoy watching these things on TV! For these kitties, you might want to consider playing some cat videos just for cats when you’re away.
Is it ok for cats to watch TV?
It is perfectly fine for your cat to watch TV. It won’t damage his eyes or rot his brain.
There are two caveats though:
Cat TV is NOT a replacement for playing with your cat. He still needs mental stimulation, exercise, and socialization, just like you do.
Your cat may try to pounce at or swipe the TV. Make sure it is properly secured, because kitty can’t tell the difference between the bird outside the window and the one on the screen!
Ok now that we’ve covered that, let’s look at some fun videos to entertain your cat!

Ok cat-crazy people. You’re armed with a whole host of ideas on how to keep your cat entertained. Now we want to hear your tips! What DIY cat toys have you made before? How does your cat like to play? And what’s the funniest thing your cat has ever done? Tell us your stories below!
10 Homemade Cat Toys Your Cats Will Go Wild For
Cats love to play. Whether it’s scratching their claws on a post, chasing balls around the house, or pouncing on mouse toys, playtime is an essential part of your kitty’s day. But after a while, you’re going to get sick of running to the pet store in search of new toys every time your fur baby gets bored or destroys your latest buy. Plus, cat toys can be fun to make!
Try these 10 easy DIY cat toys – from no sew pom poms to DIY scratching posts. Let us know how it goes!
1. No Sew Pom Poms
Materials: string, fleece, scissors
Pom poms are hugely popular with kitties. They love soft toys they can pounce on, bat, and chew. If you want to give your cat a fun pom pom but don’t know how to sew, don’t despair. No sewing skills are required for these soft kitty pom poms. All you’ll need is string, scissors, and a piece of fleece two inches wide and a foot long. Best of all, you can do this whole project in about 10 minutes.
2. Ball of Yarn
Materials: ball of yarn
There’s a reason so many pictures show cats chasing yarn. Your tabby’s great-great-something grandparents were fearsome hunters, and your cat has kept those natural hunting instincts. When a string of yarn comes loose or a ball rolls across the floor, your feline goes into full hunter mode. Yarn might also remind your kitty of snakes, which would explain why they want to attack it.
So if you’re looking for an easy toy to keep your feline friend busy, you can’t go wrong with a ball of yarn. Just know that you may have to wind up a lot of yarn after your cat finishes destroying its “prey.”
3. Yarn Pom Poms
Materials: Yarn, scissors
Want something a little fancier than just a ball of yarn? Try yarn pom poms. They’re a piece of cake to make, and the only materials you need are yarn and scissors.
4. Toilet Paper Roll Chaser
Materials: Toilet paper roll or paper towel roll
Optional: Catnip or cat treats, string or yarn, feathers, hot glue
Finally, something to do with your old toilet paper rolls. Once the paper’s off, hand them over to your kitty! Cats love chewing and shredding cardboard, so with any luck, you won’t even have to modify the roll. But if you want to up the challenge for your little tiger, you can always put some catnip inside and fold the ends closed. You can also attach a string to one end, glue some colorful feathers to the other end, and voila! You’ve got a dangly, chase-worthy toy for your fur baby. You can even use a paper towel roll for a bigger toy.
The best part about this toy is that the possibilities are endless. Instead of a dangly toy, you could leave off the string and give your feline friend a rolling toy they can chase across the floor. When your cat gets tired of the feathers, bust out a new roll and glue colorful pom poms onto it, or cut some holes and stick in a few bendy straws. Let your imagination run wild!
5. Cardboard House
Materials: Cardboard box, scissors
Optional: spray paint, construction paper, hot glue or tape
You may have noticed your kitty likes to hang out in cardboard boxes. Enclosed spaces help cats feel safe and reduce their stress. So if you’ve got a cardboard box lying around, turn it into a cozy hideout for your fur baby. Cut a hole in it for your cat to use as a doorway, and throw a blanket in there so they can get comfortable. Let the purrs begin!
If you want to take things to the next level, you could even remodel that box into a cute cat house. Spray paint the inside or outside, cut out some construction paper shingles, and make a chimney from one of the box flaps. You can also forget the construction paper and just paint the box to look like a house.
6. Cat Tent
Materials: Medium t-shirt, 15″ by 15″ piece of cardboard, two wire hangers, tape, four safety pins, pliers
Here’s another idea for your feline’s top secret hideout. Got an old t-shirt you don’t know what to do with? Repurpose it to make the perfect cat tent! All the materials for this DIY project are things you probably have already, and the tent is a cinch to make. Just follow the steps in this Friskies tutorial. Complete the tent by throwing a cuddly blanket inside.
Of course, there’s no guarantee your little tiger won’t destroy the tent you lovingly created for them. But you won’t know until you try!
7. T-shirt Bows
Materials: T-shirts, scissors
While you’re looking for ways to reuse those old t-shirts, try making these ridiculously easy toys from Muslin and Merlot. Just cut an old t-shirt into a 3 by 10 inch rectangle and tie it into a knot. For the most colorful, cat-friendly toy, cut up a few different colored shirts and tie them together.
8. Cat Wand
Materials: wooden dowel, twine, fabric or hot glue, scissors
Optional: Feathers, fabric scraps, bells
Cats can entertain themselves for hours chasing balls of yarn or scratching to their hearts’ content, but when you want to play with your furry friend, nothing does the trick like a wand toy.
To make a cat wand, wrap twine around a wooden dowel and leave 10 to 12 inches of twine at the end to dangle. Glue the twine in place at both ends of the dowel. Now comes the fun part. Find some things you can dangle from the end of the wand: feathers, fabric scraps, bells, or other colorful items. Tie or glue them onto the end of the twine and you’re ready for playtime! Dangle the toy in front of your furry friend and watch them go crazy.
9. Scratching Post
Scratching posts are a great way for your kitty to keep their claws healthy. But if you’ve got a cat who likes to scratch, you may find yourself replacing their scratcher a little more often than you’d like. A DIY scratching post can be a more affordable option, and if you do it right, can last for years.
This homemade cat scratcher from Dream a Little Bigger is definitely more involved than your average DIY cat toy, but the work pays off.
If you’re looking for something slightly easier, you might try wrapping a traffic cone in rope. We recommend sisal, the best rope for cat scratchers. You could even glue some pom poms on for a fun, colorful scratching toy.
10. DIY Cat Tree
If you’re feeling really ambitious, you might try a DIY cat tree. You’ll probably need to purchase supplies for this one, but you might have some things around the house you can repurpose too, like a basket, rope, and cardboard boxes. You’re also going to need specific tools, like a hammer, table saw, and staple gun. But if you love breaking out the tools and going to work, this could be a fun project – and your feline friend will love having their own cat tree!
Ready, set, play!
Ready to dangle wands, throw balls, and refill catnip? The fun never stops with your little fur baby.

The family pet should have its own stash of playthings—toys, games, and playgrounds to explore. Our homemade toys are often sturdier and more attractive than the store-bought kind, and they make great gifts for a feline companion.

cat playing with fuzzy ball toy

Cats are very intelligent and inquisitive animals. Indoor kitties are especially prone to boredom if they don’t receive enough mental stimulation and physical exercise. “If cats aren’t getting enough play, it can affect their whole modus operandi, and their usual habits can change,” cat behaviorist and author Carole Wilbourn previously told us. “They can become destructive and aggressive because they have all of this bottled-up energy. ” In short, your purring sweethearts can turn into cats from hell without regular attention and playtime.
But you don’t need to spend hundreds of dollars in order to give your kitties the playground of their dreams. Set up your living room, or another room dedicated to your cats, by adding tall cat trees and perches. Give them space to run around like the little wild animals that they are and provide toys that give them the opportunity to practice their pouncing and hunting skills. Because cats are bound to have full reign of the house, you can also entertain them in other rooms as you go about the day. Nothing excites most cats more than dangly toys. Yours will let out a happy little meow whenever she sees the familiar pole and dangly plush at the end!
You should also remember to put toys away at night. Any toys that have small pieces can become choking hazards for your feline friends. Cleaning your pet’s toys on a regular basis also helps to minimize the germs. And because cats can become bored with their toys, it is recommended to rotate them as well. Keep your cats happy by making these DIY cat toys and games for your furbabies.

DIY cat toys: 20 ideas for your cat
If you have a British kitten in your house, then toys for kittens will appear soon, and later toys for cats. Games are one of the important components of the life of a kitten, and an adult cat, so you need to play with a kitten and pay attention to him at least once a day. In this article, we will discuss how to make do-it-yourself cat toys without compromising the family budget from improvised means.
If a kitten or an adult feline animal starts biting its hands, it means that it is bored! Draw conclusions and buy toys for cats, but rather make toys for cats with your own hands at home, because your hands are not a toy.

20. Pompons on ropes
Little British kittens, small British kittens, small British kittens like British cats, only accept cat toys when they are new. A couple of days later, no matter how good and expensive toys for kittens are, animals lose interest in them, so it makes no sense to buy expensive toys for cats, it is better to give preference to inexpensive ones, or to make toys for cats with your own hands.
What are ready-made toys for cats, and toys for kittens you can see in any pet store, but what you can come up with toys for kittens with your own hands will be discussed below.
Do not worry, do-it-yourself cat toys do not mean at all that you will need to sew or glue something, no. I will just give a list of proven items on my own British cat, which may well replace expensive cat toys and kitten toys.
So, I am constantly looking for how to make DIY cat toys. For seven years, I have not entertained my British cat Marsik. He has his favorite homemade toys for kittens, and there are such toys for cats with his own hands at home that did not impress him in any way.
20 DIY Cat Toy Ideas:
1. Big Paper Clothes Bags
British kittens and adult cats love to climb into these big rustling bags and just sit around. And if you throw a ball there, you can watch your pet get carried away with the game in earnest. In no case should you use plastic bags, in them the kitten can suffocate. Bags are inexpensive do-it-yourself paper toys for cats that are in every home.
2. Ping-pong tennis balls
To start with, one set of these balls should be enough until they are all under the cabinets. Choose balls made of durable plastic, because thin cats can easily gnaw and swallow fragments.
3. Various sizes of cardboard boxes
make great toys for kittens. You can turn the box over and cut a door or several holes in it. And also to build a two-story house with through doors from several boxes. A toy for a cat out of the box will surely please your animal, and he will appreciate your efforts.
4. Sunny Bunny
Looking for DIY interactive cat toys? Please! The beam of light that is reflected in the mirror can be great fun for your cat. Wait for a sunny day, take a mirror, and let the sunbeams. I’m sure you and your cat will have fun.
5. Measuring tape
My cat loves this simple and unpretentious game, and when I take out the measuring tape, he immediately starts hunting. As you can see, a great way to make a toy for a cat from improvised means.
6. Empty spool of thread
If you sew, there are probably many empty spools of thread around the house. You can’t give a cat a spool of thread, because. the animal can eat thread. And empty coils of a cat are happy to drive around the house. It turns out inexpensive and simple toys for kittens with their own hands at home.
7. Wooden corks for wine
Such corks are quite light and large, animals cannot swallow them, but they chew them with pleasure and throw them up.
8. Pencils
Buy a set of regular pencils and toss your kitten to chase them. Cats love to play with crayons, so don’t be surprised if they bring a crayon to your feet in their teeth. They also like to chew on them, so break the lead and make sure the pencils aren’t sharp. If you have children in the house, then this stuff is in bulk in the house, and you don’t have to buy special pencils.
9. Boiler pipes
My cat just loves to play with boiler pipes, and I buy them especially for him. If you don’t know what kind of toy to make for a kitten with your own hands, feel free to buy cocktail sticks, both kittens and adult cats like them.
10. Wooden sticks for sushi
One of my Marsik’s favorite pastimes. I specially keep a few of these sticks in stock in my bedside table.
11. Live butterflies and moths
My British cat’s favorite pastime is chasing live butterflies and moths. They rarely fly into our apartment, so sometimes I catch them for Marsik on purpose. These are the best do-it-yourself interactive toys for cats
12. Golf balls
Yes, yes, there are such exotic things in our house. The cat really likes these golf balls – they are quite heavy, roll slowly, and the cat chases them around the parquet with pleasure.
13. Robot bugs HEXBUG Nano and other varieties of nano insects
Mega cool interactive cat toy that makes the cat get up from the couch and play hunter. I bought on Aliexpress – it’s cheaper there, and shipping is free. These beetles are battery operated (like clocks) and can be changed when they run out. Robots move chaotically, turning in the other direction after colliding with obstacles. If the cat turns them over on their back, they themselves turn over to their original position, and crawl further.
14. Pine cones
Great idea for DIY cat toys made from natural materials. We have a couple of small cedar cones, and Marsik plays with them from time to time, nibbles on the cones, and picks them off the Christmas tree with even greater pleasure.
15. Programs about birds and insects on TV
Better yet, programs about cats or rodents. Not quite, of course, toys for cats with their own hands, but entertainment for cats is very worthwhile. My cat enjoys watching such programs on the Discovery and Animal Planet channels.
16. Rustling educational toys for newborns
Do not rush to get rid of different educational toys for the smallest babies. My cat enjoys playing with different children’s balls, rustling fabric books, and other toys of my daughter. As you can see, an interesting do-it-yourself toy for a cat can quite unexpectedly end up in the house if there are small children.
17. Washing bag for delicates
An interesting do-it-yourself cat toy. The most common mesh laundry bag is one of my cat’s favorite toys. He likes to toss this bag, and of course, gnaw and tear it apart.
18. Boxes from Kinder Surprises
Put inside a little cereal, dry beans or peas, a piece of catnip and give it to the cat to be torn to pieces. You will get a great interactive toy for cats with your own hands.
19. DIY toys from nylon tights
In every house there are unsuitable nylon tights, so why not make soft toys for the cat with your own hands in the form of balls or knots.
20. Pompoms with strings
The simplest do-it-yourself soft toys for kittens at home. It is most convenient to make such soft toys for kittens with your own hands from felt, or thick yarn.
It’s not enough to make or invent DIY cat toys at home. You also need to interest the cat and organize a game with toys. Maybe you will be more lucky if these are do-it-yourself interactive toys for cats, and then the cat will allow you to lie quietly on the couch while he plays the hunter.
As you can see, there are many ideas on how to make DIY cat toys. Such a difficult task as do-it-yourself toys for cats is a very doable task, most importantly, friends, experiment, and your cat will thank you with playfulness, affection and love.
Friends, it’s very interesting, what kind of toys do you make for cats with your own hands? I look forward to your comments on the article!
How to make toys for cats with your own hands (50 photos): ideas, interactive, soft, mouse
A great way to keep your pet entertained is with a DIY cat toy. You can make it from almost everything that is currently at hand. This will be not only an active game for a small pet, but also a developmental activity, because you need to train in agility and speed at any time of the day and at any age. The easiest way is to make a mouse for a cat, but there are many more options available.
A great way to keep your pet entertained is with a DIY cat toy
Cats and cats, and especially small kittens, need outdoor games just like food, water and caress of the owner. Many of them remain interested in hunting even if they are at home and do not walk on the street. At any age, pets will gladly catch impromptu prey, and if it is not given into the paws, then the excitement only increases.
Try to please your pet and make a toy, he will accept it with pleasure and gratitude. Manufacturing ideas may vary.
The easiest way to entertain a cat is to throw a crumpled piece of ordinary paper on the floor, an impromptu mouse will come out. It can be written on or even torn, you need to tightly crumple it into a kind of ball and allow the animal to catch up with the toy. Cats can even drive such a ball around the apartment for some time, and if it gets, for example, under a closet, they will take a long time and stubbornly to extract it from there.
You can make an interesting cat toy out of an ordinary cardboard box if you glue a few pieces and make holes in them for the pet to move. She can even perceive it as her house.
Cats and cats, and especially small kittens, need outdoor games just like food, water and caress of the owner rolling on the floor and does not pose a health risk to the animal – these are great toys for him.
Most cats are as interested in newspapers as they are in boxes and bags. A print edition that accidentally ends up on the floor immediately turns into an entertaining toy. The kitten hides under it, jumps out of hiding on all those passing by and crumple it with its paws.
Sometimes pets watch TV more enthusiastically than people, especially if they show something like a ticker. They are also attracted by moving small elements on the computer screen.
DIY stuffed cat toy is a more traditional and easy option. The method of making it is simple: sew a small figurine from any fabric with filler and string.
Making a cat toy with your own hands (video)
Complex DIY cat toys
Making an interactive cat toy with your own hands can be quite simple, and does not require significant material and time costs. As a result, you will get a full-fledged interesting labyrinth for cats. If you know how to handle a drill, then repeat the same for a pet.
This requires water angles. They need to be connected and holes drilled on top, in size they should be such that a cat’s paw fits there. A ball is launched inside, and then it remains only to watch how the do-it-yourself labyrinth becomes a favorite place to play.
DIY soft toy is a more traditional and lighter option
A very easy toy to make from a container in which clean shoe covers were kept. It is necessary to remove the cap from it, make a hole in it and fasten the thread by tying a knot in the inside. Put a small ball or something ringing inside the container. The cat will be happy to catch prey.
The laser flashlight is a favorite entertainment for all cats and kittens without exception. You can’t make it, but you need to buy it. On sunny days, it is successfully replaced by a sunbeam, which is caught with an ordinary small mirror.
In order to make a soft toy from a ball and other items, you will need:
food foil;
small box;
fish oil capsules;
2 caps;
ball of yarn;
knitted toy (the smaller the better).
The capsules should be placed in the box so that they rattle and attract the pet’s attention. He will be able to drive her around the apartment.
Next, wrap the ball and the toy with foil, remembering to leave long tails (it must be sewn to the toy). Make it as tight as possible. The cat will hunt for threads.
We make holes in the lids, thread the thread, fasten it so that we get a round box. Inside you can put a piece of goodies. The cat’s scent will not let you down, and the lids will become a welcome prey.
It’s much easier to create fun for cats than to make your own dog toys. Small kittens and adult cats are more inclined to hunt for impromptu prey than to gnaw on it.
How to make a cat toy with your own hands?
It’s no secret that cats love to play, but at the same time they are very picky in their choice of entertainment. And since your pet can get bored very quickly, you will need to add variety to his leisure time from time to time to keep it interesting and exciting. Want to keep your furry friend interested? Try to make these simple and creative cat toys with your own hands:
Ghost
Your kitty will love chasing this magical creature – and not just on Halloween. It can also double as a cat pillow!
What you need:
Cotton T-shirt.
Thin ribbon 22-25 cm long.
Metal bell.
Scissors.
Black marker.
What to do:
Cut out two squares from the T-shirt – 12×12 cm and 6×6 cm. Place a small metal bell in the middle of the smaller square to create an attention-grabbing noise, and roll it into a ball. Place this ball in the middle of the large square and wrap the fabric around it. Tie the ribbon tightly around the bottom of the balloon to make a ghost head.
For the safety of the animal, cut the tape close to the ghost’s neck so that the cat does not chew or swallow it. Draw a scary face for your ghost and it’s done! When the fabric begins to fray and the ribbon begins to untie, simply make a new ghost (if the toy has become unusable, then the cat definitely likes it).
Fun caps
Your furry friend will definitely love the easy movement of this toy. The cap toy glides especially well on smooth surfaces such as parquet and tiles. This is a great way to get the cat moving.
What you need:
Soft plastic lid for food container (yogurt, soft cheese, etc.).
Two plastic caps from a water bottle, fruit puree bag or similar container (it’s even more fun if the caps are different).
Scissors.
Nail or awl (for punching holes).
What to do:
First, cut off the hem of the plastic cover and cut out one strip in the shape of a rod from its center. The middle of the strip should be approximately 7-8 cm long and 3 mm wide. The ends of the rod should be approximately 1-1.5 cm wide.
Then carefully poke a hole in each bottle cap using a nail or awl. Gently fold the ends of the plastic rod to fit each end into the hole in one of the caps. Once you have threaded each end through the caps, unfold the ends of the rod and secure the caps in place. The toy is ready! Ahead of you is waiting for more than one hour of joyful rolling of this fun structure on the floor.
Satellite
Like the 1950s Earth satellite for which this toy is named, our “satellite” is out of this world. If you want to make homemade cat toys and pay homage to outer space, this idea is for you.
What you need:
Small plastic food container lid.
Thin cardboard food box (for cereals, pasta).
Scotch.
Scissors.
Stationery knife.
What to do:
Cut off the edge of the plastic lid, then carefully cut out six strips, each about 3 mm wide and 5-8 cm long, depending on the size of the lid.
Cut one cardboard strip from the box, 5 cm wide and 7-8 cm long. Fold the resulting rectangle lengthwise into five equal segments, and then unfold. Then fold the top and bottom of the rectangle widthwise so that they meet in the middle and unfold (these will be the sides of the satellite box). Use a utility knife to make slits in the vertical fold lines just up to the horizontal line, which will form the flaps at the top and bottom of the rectangle. Make two parallel cuts, about the width of the plastic strips you cut, in the middle of each of the five segments and on the top and bottom flaps of one of the end sections.
Pass each of the plastic strips through the pair of slots in the center of the segments. Secure the back of each loop with tape. Then fold the cardboard rectangle into a tiny box, with the ends of the plastic strips sticking out of each side of the box. You can leave the length of the strips as is or cut them off, depending on what your pet likes. These strips are durable and safe for your cat to play with, and with one movement of the paw, she will be able to toss the toy in a variety of directions. Now you have your own companion.
As with any cat toy, check your creations periodically to make sure your cat hasn’t ripped off pieces that could get in their airways. If you notice any loose threads or dangling pieces of material, it’s best to take the toy away from the kitten so it can be repaired or replaced entirely. All in all, making homemade cat toys is a fun way to spice up your friendship with your four-legged buddy and keep him out of boredom!

Experience the silky softness* of Zewa Deluxe Toilet Paper!
Cats are one of the most popular pets, partly because they are easy to care for. Once you’ve fed your cat and cleaned her litter box, you can relax, but only until she gets bored. Playing games for indoor cats is very good for their health and will help divert their attention from your upholstered furniture. However, buying cat toys can be expensive, as the cat may not show any interest in them at all and the money will be wasted.
If you have a cat or cat in your house that often ruins your furniture, don’t despair! We will tell you how to make a do-it-yourself cat toy using handmade materials. Your child can help you, then this activity will become much more fun.
ring ball | tubule with feathers | treat mink
1. DIY cat toy: ball of rings
To make this fun DIY cat toy, all you need is a used Zewa Deluxe toilet roll core, scissors and non-toxic paint. We recommend entrusting work with scissors only to adults, and give children the opportunity to paint and assemble the toy.
What you might need
Zewa Deluxe toilet paper roll sleeve
Scissors
Glue
Dye
tassel
stapler
Take the sleeve and cut it into 8 equal rings about 1 cm wide.
Make a cut on each ring and unfold them. Glue the edges of the 2 rings together with glue to create a large ring. Repeat the same to make 3 more rings and leave them to dry.
Paint each ring a different color with non-toxic paint and leave to dry.
Place the rings one inside the other and twist them until the distances between them are the same and they form a ball. To prevent the rings from moving, staple them at the intersections at the bottom and top.
On their own, these balls are great for indoor cats who like to play alone. If you want to make this toy even more attractive, attach some bells inside the ball.
The Zewa Deluxe Toilet Paper Roll is made from the same materials as regular paper, so if your cat gets bored with his toy (or rips it to shreds), it can be easily flushed down the toilet or added to the compost. Simple and convenient.
2. DIY cat toys: feather tube
Make these beautiful DIY cat toys to make your pets happy. All you need is a Zewa Premium paper towel roll, a few colorful feathers, and a cocktail straw. We encourage parents to take the job of making holes in the paper towel roll core.
What you might need
Zewa Premium paper towel roll core
Pencil
metal screwdriver
Straws for cocktails
Scissors
feathers
On the paper towel core, mark with a pencil where you want to make holes.
Take a Phillips screwdriver and carefully poke through the bushing at the marked points so that the holes are on opposite sides. Make some of the holes bigger so that the tubes pass through them freely.
Cut the tubes with scissors into 15 cm pieces. Insert them into the large holes in the sleeve.
Insert the lugs into the remaining holes of the bushing.
Cat hair can sometimes make you sneeze, especially if you have allergies. Put a box of Zewa Deluxe tissues in the places where you often visit the house so that they are always at hand
3. How to turn an empty tissue box into a treat hole
If you want to make great DIY cat toys and you have a lot of toilet paper rolls and an empty Zewa Deluxe tissue box , then you can make a mink for your pet’s treats. We encourage parents to work with scissors and glue while the child does the painting and assembly.
What you might need
Zewa Deluxe Empty Tissue Box
Scissors
Wrapping
Glue
Zewa Deluxe toilet paper rolls
non-toxic paint
tassel
Glue gun
Take your scissors and carefully cut off the front of the tissue box.
Carefully line the sides and base of the tissue box with wrapping paper.
Paint toilet paper rolls with non-toxic paint and let dry.
Place the bushings in the box, stacking them one on top of the other to fill the entire space. Secure them carefully with a glue gun. When you’re done, put the treats in the box for your beloved cat.
Cats love anything that floats in the air, so use a piece of tissue paper as a toy for your cat. This activity will entertain them for a long time and, fortunately, Zewa Deluxe paper handkerchiefs are strong enough that they will not tear immediately.
You’re already very busy taking care of your children and pets, so get the whole family involved in cleaning up after you’ve made a cat toy together.
Decorate your cat toys with your own hands
Be careful with the use of paint when making your own cat toys – remember that your pets may want to chew on them at some point. So if you want to make your cat toy attractive and safe, use non-toxic paper and paint.
These simple yet stylish DIY cat toys keep your furniture safe from their claws. Now that you know how to make DIY cat toys, why not try making them with the whole family?

Do-it-yourself toys for cats and kittens
The decision to have a pet means that you are ready to take on the whole burden of responsibility, because this is not a toy, but a living creature that can feel, think, be happy and sad. With the advent of a small kitten in the house, everything around changes and, of course, you must be prepared for these changes and for any possible surprises.
In addition to the standard needs of food or drink, the animal will need your attention. If the pet is full and feels good, but at the same time it starts to be naughty (it can scratch the wallpaper, climb onto the carpet or curtains, even scratch or bite), it means that he is bored and wants to play. This is especially true for the period of growth of a kitten and its getting used to a new habitat. The best way to keep your baby busy is to provide him with toys.
Games as the main component of a healthy life of a pet
When a kitten still lives with a cat and its small relatives, their games are an imitation of a fight or a hunt, being designed to develop in animals the basic skills that are vital for them: dexterity, speed of movement, intelligence , the ability to wait and catch prey, etc.
When choosing toys, you should focus on this very moment. Also, the game is necessary for the cat in order to get some degree of physical activity (especially if the animal lives only at your house and does not go out), plus – for fun.
Toys often cost a lot in pet stores, and besides, a cat can soon get bored with them and want new things. To save money and constantly delight your beloved pet with new and new games, you just need to make toys for cats with your own hands.
In fact, your pet doesn’t care how much this or that little thing costs – the main thing is that it should be interesting and fun with it. In addition, when making homemade toys for a kitten, you will be sure of the naturalness and safety of the materials used.
Getting Started
There are a lot of options for making all kinds of toys for kittens with your own hands. Firstly, you can still look through the assortment of what pet stores offer in order to navigate, perhaps the products on sale will inspire you to create home-made analogues.
Secondly, rely on your own imagination and creativity: watch the kitten – with what and how he likes to play, what he loves most, and based on this try to make him a toy.
Trust that any means at hand will do.
Everyone knows that cats love to play with rustling candy wrappers, paper scraps and, of course, boxes. If you cut improvised doors and a window in a cardboard box, you can get a small cozy shelter for a kitten, where he will be happy to hide and carry his “treasures”. You can make several large holes in the lid or bottom of the box (select a height such that the cat can stand on its hind legs inside and look out of the box, and, if desired, get out of it). He will be amused by the process of climbing back and forth. And if you take the lid or the bottom of the box and bend the corners so as to make the bottom convex in the center, and throw a ping-pong ball or a tennis ball there, then the kitten will have a very interesting activity in catching the elusive ball-ball that will constantly roll down to the center.
The next type of toy can be made both from the same cardboard box and from plywood (a more complex and time-consuming option). In addition to materials, you will also need tools: a drill, a jigsaw, a hammer, a wood drill. First you need to cut four walls from plywood (you can take the following dimensions: the length of two walls is 30 cm each, and the other two are 45 cm each, with a width of 7 cm for all). Saw several holes in each of the walls, carefully processing the edges with sandpaper so that there are no sharp corners or roughness anywhere. Glue the walls – you will get a rectangle. Next, you will need to select and make a top cover for it, in which you also make holes in the same way. You can glue the parts or knock them down with nails, or use “button nails” – in a word, do it at your discretion. Cover the toy with varnish and put a ball, ball or any other trinket inside that the cat will be happy to try to get.
Another way to make interesting toys for cats with your own hands is to sew a soft mouse from leftover felt, flannel or faux fur. You can make it according to the pattern, cutting out the details and sewing them together, or simply rely on your abilities. Stuff the mouse with cotton wool or padding polyester and attach it to a string or elastic band. You can make a kind of lever by hanging a toy on a stick so that the cat plays on its own when it wants to.
You can complicate your task a little and make a clockwork mouse for your pet. To do this, it is necessary to sheathe or glue the inertial children’s car with fabric parts (the parts must be larger than it).
Easy to make and soft rattle balls. Just pick up a few small balls or bells (you can pull them out of baby rattles) and sew them tightly into a soft padded fabric to form a ball.
Attach a small ball or the same fluffy mouse, or even a container from a kinder surprise with some kind of rattle inside, to a homemade fishing rod (rope tied to a stick). You can build for a fishing rod and a toy in the form of a felt bow. To do this, cut a lot of strips of different lengths from the fabric and make a pom-pom out of them. A bunch of multi-colored feathers will do.

Senior: I started going to Tapestry my Freshman year of high school, now I’m a Senior about to graduate. Overall I would say I had a good experience at Tapestry. Everyone was kind and respectful to one another. The classes were smaller than a regular high school so the teachers gave the students more attention and time to finish their work. It is however not similar to a “normal” high school. Our school population does not exceed 2,000. We go to school in a one floor building and we don’t have a football team or many fun activities. This doesn’t really bother me but it wouldn’t hurt to bring a bit more pep and school spirit to Tapestry…. Read 18 reviews

Parent: My oldest daughter started Kindezi O4W during the pandemic (2020) with virtual learning. She has thrived both during virtual learning and in person learning and has now started her third year at Kindezi O4W. I am very impressed with this school. I work at a local university, so good quality education is important to me. The teachers give their geniuses individually assigned tasks to further their strengths and work on those areas needing improvement. The teachers are in constant contacts with the parents and are genuinely enthusiastic about their jobs and the children they teach. The class sizes are small (14 kids: 2 teachers per class). I am delighted that our younger daughter just started Kindergarten at Kindezi O4W as well. Both of our kids LOVE this school, and wake up in the morning happy to go and learn and see their friends. And that is the most important aspect of it, right, kids enjoying to go to school and enjoying to learn. … Read 4 reviews

Parent: This is our family’s fifth year at Lovett, and we couldn’t be happier with the education that our children are receiving at this special school. The faculty is outstanding and dedicated, including in the fine arts. The curriculum is rigorous, forward thinking, and innovative. Starting in the lower school, Lovett students are taught to be critical thinkers who are comfortable being challenged and to think outside the box. We are constantly impressed by the school’s leadership. Also, we appreciate that Lovett incorporates service learning into many aspects of the curriculum, developing students who want to go out and make a difference in our city, country and world. In addition, Lovett makes a concerted effort to be inclusive of all families at the school. For example, there are chapel services for the major holidays of non-Christian religions – Diwali, Rosh Hashanah/Yom Kippur, Ramadan, etc. Lovett has been an exceptional experience for our children!… Read 149 reviews

Read what parents are saying about Columbia Middle School
Columbia Middle School is one of the best middle schools in Dekalb and I’m speaking from experience. I went there for 3 years and it taught me not only how to read and write but how to deal with real life situations including cooking! Columbia has not only led me to be in the top 5% of my graduating high school class but also created another successful African American man from Dekalb County.

Columbia Middle School is a developing school. I see great potential in the students and the overall school. Next year I plan to help the school in more ways the one. I am proud to be an advocate for Columbia Middle School!

My son is a magnet student & an AB student. If it wasn’t for that, I would move in the area of ‘better schools’. They have gang problems, kids setting fires on the school buses, etc… I teach my kids to be the best at what ever they set their minds to but it’s hard when they’re faced with things like this on a daily basis. The teachers nor principal can do anything with the kids because the parents can’t. It starts at home so I don’t blame the school…

I think Rowland Elementary has a lot of potential. The teachers and staff work together to educate and counsel students. You can tell they genuinely care about their kids. The environment is a positive one with a nice balance of rewards for positive behavior and loss of privileges for negative behavior. The school is in serious need of better funding as the building is 55 years old and there are several portable classrooms to accommodate overcrowding. The largest opportunity for the school is parental involvement. A solid PTA could accomplish a lot but there is little to no interest on behalf of most parents. Otherwise, I have been very pleased with my child’s kindergarten experience at Rowland and look forward to next year.

I have a little prek student who has just completed his first year at SPC. He is graduating prek writing, praying, and with great new friendships. We love his teachers not only in the classroom, but outside of the class. We are very blessed and fortunate to find a prek program that is well structure and instilling great morals. The program for prek is a full day of school just like the other grade levels and the school offers before and after school care. Can’t wait to see how next year goes in kinder!

My 5 year old currently attends this school in Ms.Dickersons kindergarten class and she is amazing! He has advanced so much in the past couple of months. All of the staff is on a personable level with all of the children speaking to all of them by name as they come in or walking through the halls. the class dojo app is there for the teacher to post pics of the children as they do activities and class work. There is also an option to see their progress and behavior throughout the day.

Kittredge Magnet School
Grades
Students
Our first year was excellent. The second year it had slipped down hill in several ways and the second any additional help was needed we were absolutely abandoned. They do not want anyone, even very intelligent children who score in the top few percentiles, who in any way need additional support. Requests to the teachers, counselors, and principals all had no follow through. It was bitterly disappointing, especially when the results of that were evident.

Austin Elementary School

Students
Fairly homogeneous population. Disconnected school counselor who is really just a paper pusher. We have been at this school for 5 years and only just met the Principal last year. She keeps a low profile. The school’s two best teachers are located in 3rd grade. Beware of 4th grade teachers. They seem to have a collective chip on their shoulders, are mean and even bullying towards the kids (especially males). The Principal instituted a ridiculous silent lunch policy. Don’t expect welcoming smiles from the front office. They recently introduced an overpriced after school program that costs $95 per week and ends at 5:30. It is not designed for the working parent. If you are the child of a white SAHM wealthy PTA member, you will do fine here.

Ashford Park Elementary School

If I didn’t have to send my kids to school here, believe me I wouldn’t. They are completely disorganized. This school is supposed to be the “cream of the crop”, always posting their accomplishments. Try going in there on a testing day, they tell at the kids in the cafeteria like they are in a prison. They teach to test because they need to keep their test scores high so they can keep their reputation up. The principal is a joke. Past and present. The secretary is awful. She does the bare minimum to get through the day. There are a few teachers here that care. Extra curricular teachers are the best. The counselor is a complete joke as well. Don’t send your kid to her. She acts pleasant but if you have a real problem she will brush you off. That’s what the whole school does. If you can’t smile and look pretty, come to school dressed to the nines, act like a perfect parent, and don’t forget to donate all of your paychecks to the Ashford Park foundation, or else you are worthless.

Decatur, Georgia – Decatur, Georgia
This article is about Decatur, the county seat of DeKalb County. For the county also located in the U.S. state of Georgia, see Decatur County, Georgia.
Decatur is the city and county seat of DeKalb County, Georgia, which is part of the Atlanta metropolitan area. With a population of 24,928 as of the 2020 census, the municipality is sometimes considered larger, as several ZIP codes in unincorporated DeKalb County have a Decatur address. The city is served by three MARTA rail stations (Deatur, East Lake, and Avondale). The city is located approximately 5 miles (8.0 km) northeast of downtown Atlanta and shares its western border with both the City of Atlanta (Kirkwood and Lake Clare boroughs) and unincorporated DeKalb County. The Druid Hills area is located northwest of Decatur. Decatur’s unofficial motto, used by some residents, is “Everything’s Better in Decatur”.

History
Early Age History
Prior to European settlement, the Decatur area was mostly forested (remains of old growth forest near Decatur survive as Fernbank Forest). Decatur was founded at the intersection of two Native American trails, Sandtown which led east from the Chattahoochee River into Utoy Creek, and Shallowford which follows today’s Clairmont Road and eventually crossed near Roswell. The site for the DeKalb County Courthouse was designated in 1822 at what would become downtown Decatur; the city of Decatur was incorporated on December 10, 1823. It was named after US Navy Commodore Stephen Decatur.
Shallowford Road, which led to Mellow Ford, was renamed Claremont Avenue, probably because it does not lead to, from, or past a place called Claremont. Covington Road is now called Sycamore Street, probably because it leads to Covington and has no plane trees. Nelson’s Ferry Road, named after a local family that operated a ferry at the end of the Chattahoochee road, was named Ponce de Leon after a prominent pre-Castro family in Havana, Cuba.
- Stevens Mitchell
American Civil War
During the American Civil War, Decatur became a strategic target in Sherman’s Atlanta Campaign. In July 1864, Major General James McPherson occupied the city to cut off the Confederate supply line from Augusta. On July 22, during the Battle of Atlanta, Confederate cavalry under Major General Joseph Wheeler attacked McPherson’s supply wagons and Union troops left to defend the wagons. A historical marker on the old courthouse marks the site of this skirmish.
We attacked Decatur on the 22nd and took the city, driving out an infantry brigade and a large part of the foot cavalry. Our brigade really took the city, although it was supported on both flanks by a foot cavalry brigade. The fight lasted about two hours and was very hot for some time. The Yankees had hills and houses and fought very well for a while. Our charge was made to divert attention while Hardy made a real attack on the enemy flank. We took more than a hundred prisoners, killed and wounded about a hundred and fifty people. Our losses are about seventy killed and wounded.
– Captain W. L. Nugent, in a letter to his wife
20th century
In the second half of the twentieth century, the Atlanta metropolitan area expanded into unincorporated DeKalb County, eventually surrounding two sides of the city of Decatur. At the same time, many wealthy and middle-class white Americans fled the area for the more remote suburbs. The 1960s and 1970s saw a sharp drop in property values. However, the city has more recently regained economic activity, thanks in part to several long-term downtown development plans that have been implemented, making Decatur a trendy small mixed-use area with easy transportation to downtown Atlanta. Over the past twenty years, it has developed a local and national reputation for being a progressive, highly engaged city that retains a small-town feel despite its proximity to Atlanta.

History
Early History
Decatur was founded at the intersection of two Native American trails: Sand Town, which led east from the Chattahoochee River to Utoy Creek and Shellowford, which follows today Claremont Road, and eventually crossed Roswell. The site for the DeKalb County Courthouse was designated in 1822 at what would become downtown Decatur; the city of Decatur was incorporated on December 10, 1823. It was named after US Navy Commodore Stephen Decatur.
Shallowford Road, which led to Mellow Ford, has been renamed Claremont Avenue, probably because it does not lead to, from, or past a place called Claremont. Covington Road is now called Sycamore Street, probably because it leads to Covington and has no plane trees. Nelson’s Ferry Road, named after a local family that operated a ferry at the end of the Chattahoochee road, was named Ponce de Leon after a prominent pre-Castro family in Havana, Cuba.
— Stevens Mitchell [5]
American Civil War
During the American Civil War, Decatur became a strategic target in Sherman’s Atlanta campaign. In July 1864, Major General James McPherson occupied the city to cut off the Confederate supply line from Augustus. On July 22, during the Battle of Atlanta, Confederate cavalry under Major General Joseph Wheeler attacked McPherson’s supply wagons, and Union troops left to defend the wagons. A historical marker on the old courthouse marks the site of this skirmish.
We attacked Decatur on the 22nd and took the city, driving out a brigade of infantry and a large part of the foot cavalry. Our brigade really took the city, although it was supported on both flanks by a foot cavalry brigade. The fight lasted about two hours and was very hot for some time. The Yankees had hills and houses, and for a time they fought very well. Our charge was made to divert attention while Hardy made a real attack on the enemy flank. We took more than a hundred prisoners, killed and wounded about a hundred and fifty people. Our losses are about seventy killed and wounded.
— Captain W. L. Nugent, in a letter to his wife [6]
20th century
In the second half of the twentieth century, the Atlanta metropolitan area became unincorporated DeKalb County, eventually surrounding two sides of the city of Decatur . Simultaneously, many wealthy and middle-class white Americans fled the area to more distant suburbs. The 1960s and 1970s saw a sharp drop in property values. Recently, however, economic activity has rebounded in the city, thanks in part to several long-term downtown development plans that have come to fruition, making Decatur a trendy little home. mixed neighborhood with easy access to downtown Atlanta. Over the past twenty years, it has developed a local and national reputation for being a progressive, highly engaged city that retains a small-town feel despite its proximity to Atlanta.

Registration and tour
The Early Years Amy Ray and Emily Salyers first met and got to know each other while attending Laurel Ridge Elementary School in DeKalb County, Georgia. Not far from Decatur, Georgia, they weren’t close friends, as the Saliers were in a higher grade than Ray. While attending Shamrock High School (now Druid Hills High School), they became more familiar and began performing together, first as “The B-Band” and later as “The B-Band” as “Saliers and Ray”.
Salyers graduated from university and began studying at Tulane University in Louisiana. A year later, Ray graduated from high school and began attending Vanderbilt University in Tennessee. Homesick, both returned to Georgia and transferred to Emory University in Atlanta (where Salyers’ father was a professor).
After forming their duo in college, the Indigo Girls played small clubs in the Emory Village area of Druid Hills, Georgia. In 1985 they started performing together again, this time as the Indigo Girls. In an interview with “Talk of the Nation” on National Public Radio in Salyers said, “We needed a name and looked up words in the dictionary that struck us, and indigo is one of them.”
Their first release in 1985 was a seven inch single called “Crazy Game”, starring Everyone’s Waiting (for someone to come home) on ‘s B-side. In the same year, the Indigo Girls released a six-track album titled Indigo Girls, and in 1987 released their first full-length album Strange Fire, recorded at John Keane’s studio in Athens, Georgia and included “Crazy Game”. In this version, they used the services of Russell Carter, who remains their manager for the moment; they first contacted him when the EP came out, but he told them that their songs were “immature” and they were unlikely to get a record deal. But the album Strange Fire, apparently changed his mind.
Epic Records (1988 – 2006)
The success of 10,000 Maniacs, Tracy Chapman and Suzanne Vega prompted Epic Records to hire other singers and songwriters; Epic signed the duo at 1988 year. Their first major release, also titled Indigo Girls , which reached #22 on the charts, included a new version of “Land of Canaan”, which also appeared on their 1985 album and on Strange Fire . The debut hit “Closer To Fine” (a collaboration with the Irish band Hothouse Flowers) was also included on the self-titled release, scoring 52 on the Popular Music list and 26 on the Modern Rock list. They even spent a week on the album-oriented rock music charts at number 48. At 19In 90, they received a Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album. They were also nominated for Best New Artist (but were defeated by Milli Vanilli, who ultimately forfeited her award).
Their next album Nomads Indians Saints won gold at and included the hit “Hammer and a Nail”, the No. 12 track in modern rock music; it was not as successful as their first, which was certified platinum around the same time. The Indigo Girls followed him with with the Back on the Bus Y’all tour and the 1992 album Rites of Passage , which included Galileo , the first of the duo’s 10 contemporary rock songs (No. 10). During their December tour, they invited Siouxsie Sioux of Siouxsie & The Banshees on a few dates as a special guest to sing a few songs with them. They then recorded Swamp Ophelia in 1994, which went platinum on and peaked at No. 9 on the Billboard 200 Albums chart.
In 1995, the Indigo Girls released a double live album, 1200 Curfews . This was followed by Shaming of the Sun in 1997, followed by Come on Now Social in 1999.

Retrospective , a compilation with two new songs, was released in 2000, and Become You was released two years later. Their last studio album was All That We Let In , released in 2004 with a tour. At , they released Rarities , a collection of b-sides and rare songs that were partially appreciated by fans who met their album-count commitment from Epic’s contract. In 1999 they performed the song Clash Clampdown, available on Rarities, and the Clash tribute Burning London; The Clash Tribute , both on Epic Records.
Hollywood Records (2006-07)

Poseidon and Gorky Error was released on by “IG Recordings”, an Indigo Girls label, and distributed by “Vanguard Records”.

Songwriting
Ray and Salyers don’t usually collaborate on songwriting. They write separately and then work together.

Blood Quantum , which appears in the campaign Honor: A Benefit for the Honor the Earth , features verses and a refrain from Ray and the Pont de Saliers. And finally, “ I’ll give you my skin” , which appears on both Tame Yourself (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals charity album) and the compilation album Indigo Girls Rarities , is a collaboration between Ray, Saliers and Michael.

Biography of Chris Tucker
Chris Tucker is a famous Hollywood actor and stand-up comedian. He became famous for his roles in the films “The Fifth Element”, “Rush Hour” and “My Boyfriend Is a Crazy”.
American actor Chris Tucker
Early years
Chris Tucker was born on August 31, 1971 in Atlanta, USA. He was the youngest son of church activist Mary Louise Bryant and cleaning business owner Norris Tucker. In addition to Chris, the family had six more children. To attract attention at home and at school, the boy often resorted to humor.
He grew up in Decatur County, Georgia. The city didn’t even have a high school, so Chris had to travel to the nearby city of Columbia.
Chris Tucker in his youth
The thought of an acting career came to Chris in 1980, when he watched the film “Psychics in Jail” with Richard Pryer.
In 1991, Tucker left his father’s house and moved to Los Angeles, dreaming of conquering Hollywood.
Film career
At first, Chris had to work odd jobs, trying to make the audience laugh in comedy clubs. But already at 19In 1992, he became a regular on Def Comedy Jam. Soon film producers also noticed him.
Standup by Chris Tucker
His film debut was in the comedy House Party 3 (1994). Then no one noticed the actor. The role of the drug dealer Smokey in the series “Friday”, where Tucker starred with rapper Ice Cube, brought him a little more fame, but the top of the Hollywood Olympus was still far away.

After considering the situation, Tucker found that the whole world admired Jim Carrey. You need to imitate him in order to succeed! Chris changed his style, combining the fluidity of Kerry’s facial expressions with the constant chatter of Eddie Murphy.
1995
In 1997, Chris became a star thanks to the role of radio host Ruby Rod in Luc Besson’s film The Fifth Element. Together with him, Bruce Willis and Milla Jovovich shone in the picture. Also this year, Tucker was lucky to work on the set with Charlie Sheen in the movie Money Talks. Another success was the invitation to the picture of Quentin Tarantino “Jackie Brown”.

In 1998, Tucker finally cemented his star status with the role of detective James Carter in the film Rush Hour. The duo of Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan won the hearts of audiences around the world and brought $250 million to New Line Cinema.
Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan in Rush Hour
However, in real life, the relationship of the main stars was not the same as in the action movie. In the film, James Carter laughed at Jackie Chan’s simple-minded hero.
In reality, it was the other way around. Jackie Chan made fun of the closed and shy Tucker: they say, on the screen, he grinds with his tongue, and behind the scenes he sits in the trailer all day and night and reads a book, you can’t draw out too much words. But in the end they became friends.
For participation in the second part of the franchise, which was released in 2001, Chris requested a fee of 20 million dollars. In one scene, he dances to Michael Jackson’s “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough” and copies his dance moves. In real life, Chris was a good friend of the king of pop and even before Rush Hour 2, he appeared in his video for “You Rock My World”.

In 2007, Rush Hour 3 was released, and this time there were rumors in the press that the actor turned down the $25 million fee, asking for a smaller amount. A very strange act. Jackie Chan commented on the situation like this: “He gave up money in favor of creative control over the process. Before that, he was modest, but then he suddenly became a star. I wanted to edit the film myself, give instructions to the director. It was a crazy house.”

Perhaps rumors about this reached Hollywood directors, or maybe Chris decided to switch completely to stand-up, but the next time on the big screens he appeared only in 2012 – in the film “My Boyfriend Is a Psycho”, among stars such as Jennifer Lawrence, Robert De Niro and Bradley Cooper. The film received the Film Critics Association Award for Best Cast and was nominated for an Oscar.

Scandals
In 1997, after filming Money Talks, Chris Tucker joined the religious community of born-again Christians.

In 2005, Georgia police arrested the actor for speeding – he was driving 109 miles per hour. Tucker explained the violation by being late for church.
Tucker went bankrupt in 2011. He was hung with a lot of debts and overdue fines, he even had to sell his mansions.
In 2016, he was charged with $2.5 million in tax evasion. Newspapers wrote that Tucker turned out to be a bad businessman and did not learn to understand accounting.
On July 6, 2019, the actor’s friend, billionaire businessman Jeffrey Epstein, was behind bars. He was accused of human trafficking and sexual abuse of dozens of underage girls. On July 25, Epstein attempted suicide. According to psychologists, he did this to arouse the pity of the court and avoid a 45-year prison sentence. Chris Tucker has not yet commented on the situation.

Chris Tucker’s Personal Life
Tucker’s name has never been mentioned in connection with tumultuous romances or scandals. It is known that he lives with his mother. Such secrecy in everything related to his personal life gave rise to rumors about Chris’ non-standard orientation, which, however, still have no confirmation.
In 1998, a woman named Azi Pryor gave birth to his son, Destin. The actor loves the boy, spends a lot of time with him, takes him to social events.

In 2001, along with Marlon Brando and Michael Madsen, Chris appeared in Michael Jackson’s You Rock My World video.

In 2008, the actor supported Barack Obama in the elections. “We rode in the same car with him, talked about basketball and . .. chicken. No, I’m kidding about the chicken. I voted for him because I knew he was a good guy.” In fact, Tucker could not miss the chance to see a black man in the president’s chair. He always supported his people, made many charitable trips to the poor settlements of Africa.

Chris Tucker is now
On April 9, 2019, Chris announced that Rush Hour 4 would be released in 2020. “This is not a preparation for the film yet, so far everything is at the level of the script.

“We love Kids ‘R’ Kids. The staff and teachers are so caring and professional. Right away they knew us by name and have always been willing to accommodate our needs. The school is so clean– they are always cleaning something! My son has been going there for almost a year now. My son loves his teachers and his new friends. I also like that the teachers make time to listen to my concerns and give me updates on my son’s progress and well being. It’s hard being away from my baby, but knowing he’s in good hands makes it easier.” – N. Lehman “I love this daycare! My daughter had been going for over a year and she had learned so much! The best part is that they have cameras in each classroom so you can see you child whenever you would like to check in. I definitely recommend this daycare to all of my friends who have kids.” – M.

Is it safe to track the location of children through popular Android apps? / Habr
If you are collecting a first-grader for school, then there is probably a smart watch with GPS on the checklist. With the convenience and peace of mind for parents, everything is clear, but are they so harmless from the point of view of information security?
Here’s a simple example from personal experience: a couple of weeks ago, my son was given a GPS watch for his birthday. Almost immediately after registering (by email) in the application, without which this watch is not needed, tons of spam in Chinese began to arrive in the mail. But this is nonsense against the backdrop of a recent study by the Cybernews team.
Popular Android apps with over 85 million installs have been found to spy on parents (which, ironically, spy on children), and some even contain links to malicious websites. Experts believe that providing data about children to third-party providers is not so safe.
According to a 2021 survey, half of US parents use parental control apps, and in the UK at least 40% use GPS tracking of children. In Russia, the numbers are hardly noticeably smaller. Parents can also be understood, everyone probably remembers the cracks received for going “to Kolka” after school, and the mother had already called hospitals and morgues.
Still, tracking children’s locations can be a double-edged sword. While parents are using baby spying apps, the apps are collecting their data. What, in theory, should provide security, in fact, does not always meet the standards of this very security.
Some fun statistics
Researchers found that 4 out of 10 popular apps contained malicious links, and none of the Android apps reviewed received the highest rating for privacy.
Jason Glassberg, co-founder of Casaba Security, a cybersecurity and ethical hacking company, reports that tracking apps don’t just violate children’s privacy, but can even expose children’s information to unauthorized users. That is, at best, strangers can access your child’s personal data, and even commit malicious acts.
Trusted by millions, but in vain
A team of researchers analyzed 10 Android apps from the Google Play store designed to track children or other family members. Although it is impossible to determine the exact number of installs of all these applications combined due to the limitations of Google’s indicators, data from open sources speaks of more than 85 million. Each of the apps reviewed has been installed over a million times, with the most popular having over 50 million installs.
The team used the Mobile Security Framework (MobSF), an open source general application security analysis tool, to assess the security and privacy of selected applications to track.
In the area of security, the score ranges from 0 to 100, with a hundred being the most desirable result. The level of privacy in the MobSF structure is expressed in letters and ranges from A to F, with A indicating the most desirable level.
7 out of 10 apps scored a 4 for privacy and 2 got a 3. One app with over 50 million installs, Phone Tracker By Number (6.28), received the lowest score, indicating a “critical risk”.
The worst-rated app, ranked 47th free app in the social category in the US, exhibited highly questionable security practices such as exposing Android’s implicit intent. For example, installing an app exposes Android components (such as handling broadcast messages) that allow other apps on that device to use those public components to send and receive data. That is, the information collected by Phone Tracker By Number can be accessed by other applications on the device, which opens up many opportunities for scammers. For example, a malicious app on a device could theoretically access tracking app data and tell the attacker the whereabouts of a child being tracked by a parent.
Researchers have suggested that due to an insecure implementation of Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate handling, the application is vulnerable to man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks. This means that attackers are embedded between the sender and recipient of data. For example, the developers of Phone Tracker By Number or attackers could theoretically monitor the traffic passing through the application.
Find Your Phone GPS tracker 5.29.2 (over 10 million installs), KidsControl family GPS tracker (k5.3.6) (over 1 million installs) and FamiSafe parental control app (over 1 million installs) are also considered vulnerable to MITM attacks.
Organizations developing stand-alone tracking applications may well decide to save money and use third-party code from open source libraries or use custom features created by other developers, so don’t expect them to worry too much about code security. It’s like a cheap sausage – you never know what it’s actually made of.
Outsourcing child data
Interestingly, all of the analyzed applications had built-in third-party trackers designed to track children. This means that data is collected from both sides, not only from children, but also from parents. And why be surprised if the main purpose of the application is to violate privacy.
An application can easily use the collected data for malicious purposes if the company that created it is not too clean. As a result, if the application is hacked, everything from a confidential photo sent through the application to passwords and other personal data can be disclosed. The data obtained can be used in a variety of ways from targeted advertising to monitoring.
One has only to chart the organizations that end up buying and reselling this information from the application company and its third-party components to realize that there is a huge ecosystem for even a small application. So parents should think about it.
Nine trackers were found in two applications: Find my kids 1.9.5 (10 million installs) and GPS Tracker & Find Your Phone 5.29.2. Family GPS locator from Familo 2. 70.6 (over 1 million installs) had eight trackers. Two more, My Family locator, GPS tracker (over 5 million installs) and FamiSafe 5.7.0.204 had seven trackers. Phone Tracker by Number 6.2.8 had six trackers, MMGuardian Parent App 3.6.77 (over 1 million installs) had five, Pingo by Findmykids 2.4.83 (over 5 million installs) had three, and only two trackers are present in family GPS tracker KidsControl (k5.3.6).
Developers periodically change the names of applications in the Google Play store, so keep in mind that the above are only relevant at the time of writing.
Weak security
Looking inside popular tracking applications, the team found that they all store hard-coded application programming interface (API) keys. Typically, API keys are used for authentication so that applications can recognize individual users and vice versa. Storing API keys can lead to security issues if an attacker finds a way to gain access to them.
The Familo Find my Phone family GPS locator had the most: four API keys hardcoded into the app. Four applications had three, and the remaining two had two.
Most hard-coded API keys were intended to protect application data, not the most useful and sensitive information for attackers. However, some hard-coded API keys may be responsible for protecting user data.
For example, the “Account Kit Client” token was hard-coded in Phone Tracker by Number. Giving this “master key” to an attacker can result in the loss of sensitive user data. Find my Phone also had a potentially sensitive API key.
Four out of ten applications tested contain links that may be considered malicious. Although this does not mean that the application is infected with malware, links within the application may lead users to sites with malware.
For example, FamiSafe (parental control app) contained two malicious links, Phone Tracker by Number, Find my kids, KidsControl each had one potentially malicious link.
Is it worth it?
Until the human factor can be excluded from the creation of tracking applications, absolute security cannot be guaranteed. So, ultimately, parents will have to weigh the pros and potential risks themselves. In general, according to experts, child safety apps justify themselves, but you should be careful about the software you download. For example, to start reading reviews.
How do you feel about tracking children with GPS trackers?
Where is the child? Smart watches, apps and trackers will tell you
Imagine: you went to the mall with the whole family, got distracted for a minute, and the child disappeared somewhere. With luck, he is waiting where he lost sight of you, but what if he himself went looking for you and wandered off to who knows where?
Or: lessons ended an hour ago, five minutes from school to home, and the child never returned. Of course, he could go out with classmates and forgot to warn, but what if someone took him away on the way home?
It’s hard not to worry when you don’t know where your child is. Most likely, it will later turn out that everything is in order with him, but no one will restore your nerves. However, today this problem is not so difficult to solve, because there are many child trackers with which you will always know where the child is. Let’s see what options there are for tracking the location of children so that you can choose the appropriate option.
Types of baby trackers
Let’s make a reservation right away: trackers are different, and it is impossible to say unequivocally that one type is better than another. The choice here depends on the age of the child, on whether he walks alone or only with you, whether he has a smartphone, and so on. After all, it is one thing to make sure that the baby does not ride too far on the scooter during your walk together, and it is quite another to look after an independent and freedom-loving teenager.
Radio beacons for the little ones
If your child is still small and you don’t let him go for a walk alone (or let him go, but only near the house), a radio beacon that can be found within a radius of several hundred meters may be enough for you. When the baby is lost, it is enough to press the button on the remote control, and the beacon will start emitting sound signals. Some models allow you to set an alarm if the child moves away from the remote control at a distance greater than the permitted.
Unlike GPS trackers, which determine the location with an accuracy of several meters, such beacons allow you to quickly find a child in a small area, even in a crowded (though not very noisy) place. On the other hand, if the child has time to go far from the remote control, the connection with the beacon will be lost.
Benefits of baby beacons :
Easy to use.
Compact.
Works well in a small area.
The most budget option.
Disadvantages of children’s radio beacons :
Short range.
No panic button.
Not effective in noisy environments.
GPS trackers: key chains, pendants, clothespins
If your child is already walking or going to school on his own, you will need a GPS tracker. The lightest and most compact options are key rings, pendants and clip-on trackers. They can be worn as decoration or attached to a child’s backpack and clothes. If desired, such a device is easy to hide from prying eyes, and some models are fixed so that they are almost impossible to remove.
The functionality of mini trackers varies from device to device. The simplest ones allow you to track the location of the child and set the boundaries of the territory in which he should be at one time or another. If he leaves a safe area (for example, school or home), you will immediately receive a notification.
Many trackers have an SOS button – it’s big and noticeable (and often the only one on the device). In case of danger, even a baby can press it, and you will immediately receive a notification with its coordinates. Some models will send an audio recording from the microphone along with the alarm so that you can assess what is happening around the child. Also, if the tracker has a built-in microphone, audio can also be requested from the parent app.
Some devices have unique features. For example, one of the trackers known to us, in addition to the location of the child, is able to determine which of the relatives he is currently with. Another device in the parent app uses augmented reality to help you navigate. If you look around through the tracker application, it will show in which direction the child is.
The main disadvantage of key chains and clothespins is that if your child leaves a backpack or a jacket to which the tracker is attached and runs away to play, you will see the location of things, not the child. An older student can deliberately get rid of the tracker so that they do not follow him – he will not have the motivation to keep the gadget with him.
In addition, GPS trackers are relatively expensive and require an Internet connection over a cellular network to operate. So you will also have to be puzzled by the monthly subscription fee.
Pros of children’s GPS trackers :
Easy to use.
Compact.
There is a panic button.
Attach securely.
Disadvantages of children’s GPS trackers :
Can be removed with clothes or backpack.
Smart watch for a child
A smart watch, unlike key fob trackers, is worn by a child on his wrist. That is, lying where he threw a backpack or jacket, they most likely will not. In addition, as a rule, the set of functions in them is wider: using the watch, you can make calls, including video calls, send SMS, count steps, play educational games, and so on. So, such a gadget is more interesting for children – this is a huge plus.
When in danger, a child can press the panic button in the same way, and in case someone tries to take the watch away from him or he loses it himself, some models of watches have a built-in sensor for removing from the hand. Another important advantage of such devices (compared to a telephone) is that even in a noisy environment, the child will not miss a call.
One of the popular gadgets to help keep track of the location of the child is a children’s smart watch. Accordingly, the quality of devices and applications for them varies greatly. Therefore, before buying a gadget, study user reviews.
Some models, for example, have problems with location stability, cell signal loss and other bugs. And more recently, it turned out that millions of children’s watches from different brands are generally not protected from cybercriminals. Anyone can find out the location of the child, the history of his movements and other personal information, or even hijack the parent’s account and impersonate him.
Do not forget about the safety of the device itself. Remember that the child will wash their hands, fall and play without removing the watch. So if the model is not sufficiently shockproof or waterproof, it will quickly become unusable. At the same time, most gadgets are not cheap, and again, you will have to pay a subscription fee to connect.
Advantages of a smart watch for a child :
Always with a child.
There is a panic button.
Cons of a smart watch for a child :
Some models don’t work well.
Not cheap.
Smartphone app
If you have an older child who already has their own smartphone, the most affordable and convenient way to look after them is with a dedicated app. A teenager will not have to carry an extra device with him, and you will not have to spend money on it. In app stores, you can find trackers without additional features. However, a full-fledged parental control program would be a much more universal solution. It will allow you not only to know where the child is, but also to monitor his safety online, and at the same time solve the problem of gadget abuse.
Google Play and the App Store offer both completely free parental control applications and inexpensive licenses and subscriptions. The first ones are more profitable for the family budget, but the set of functions in them is most likely limited. And if the authors of a free app make money from ads, you should keep in mind that adware can be very careless with your data.
In general, when choosing both devices and programs, it is worth remembering cybersecurity. Therefore, we recommend looking for information about the manufacturer before buying or downloading anything. If vulnerabilities have recently been found in its products that have not yet been fixed, it is better to abandon it. And even better – immediately choose a reliable solution from a well-known manufacturer that pays due attention to security.
Pros of baby location apps :
Inexpensive.
Installed on the child’s mobile device.
Many useful features besides location tracking.
Cons of baby tracking apps :
Smartphone or tablet required.
Keeping your child safe is easy
As you can see, it’s not that hard to avoid worrying about where your child is. There are many devices and applications that will tell you about its location. The main thing is to approach the choice responsibly and explain to the child why the tracker will simplify life for him too. And it will be possible with a calm heart to give him the necessary level of freedom.
How to find out where the child is without looking up
Children grow up fast. Until recently, the baby took the first steps, holding on to your hand, and now he is already going to school, enrolling in hobby groups, running away for a walk with friends, asking not to see him off. It’s getting harder to keep an eye on him. For example, you do not know for sure whether he attends club classes or skips them.
And even if he treats them responsibly, you should not discount the dangers of the big city. A teenager left to himself can contact bad people, wander into an industrial zone or an abandoned construction site, get lost in an unfamiliar area.
How geofencing helps to monitor the safety of the child
Some parents, fearing for the safety of their children, limit their freedom: they forbid going out with friends, take them to school by the hand almost until graduation. This is not the best way out: excessive guardianship is a difficult test for a teenager’s self-esteem and his reputation among his peers, moreover, a dependent adult will grow out of a dependent child.
Fortunately, in today’s world there are modern solutions to this problem. Now it is easy to keep abreast and ensure the safety of children without interfering in their lives. And it’s not necessarily about total surveillance.
For example, our parental control app, Kaspersky Safe Kids, has a geofencing feature called Location Control. It works like this: you specify where the child needs or is safe to be at a certain time of the day. If he goes beyond the boundaries of this territory, for example, runs away from classes or for some reason goes to the forest park late at night, the application will send you a notification and you can quickly take the necessary measures.
How to set up geofencing in Kaspersky Safe Kids
To use the geofencing feature, you need to allow Kaspersky Safe Kids access to the location on your child’s phone. Otherwise, the application simply will not be able to find out where it is. After that, you will need to turn on the location of the child from your device. You can do this in your account on the My Kaspersky portal.
Login to your account and open the section Children .
Select child profile and click Enable – tab 9 opens0087 Where is my child? .
Enable option Location control and save the settings by clicking the button at the bottom of the window.
How to enable location control in Kaspersky Safe Kids
You can also enable child location in the parent version of the mobile app:
Open the child’s profile.
Press Enable location control .
Enable option Position control .
You can now track your child’s location. To receive notifications when he left the safe territory, indicate where he can be at one time or another. This may be the school grounds or the playground in front of the house, where he walks with friends. To do this, on the My Kaspersky portal:
Open the tab Where is my child? and click on the button Add perimeter .
Mark on the map an area that is safe for the child.
Set the time at which he must not leave the area.
How to set up safe zones in Kaspersky Safe Kids
In the mobile app:
Open the tab Settings .
Select Location settings .
Click Add perimeter .
Set the area where the child is safe and the time when he should be there.
Now, if the child’s smartphone is outside the selected area at the specified time, Kaspersky Safe Kids will notify you about it. The application will also warn you if the battery is about to run out on the child’s device – this will save you unnecessary worries due to the fact that the child suddenly disappeared from the connection.
Other features of Kaspersky Safe Kids
In general, our parental control application has a lot of useful features. For example, we recently wrote how you can use Kaspersky Safe Kids to protect your child from endless phone use. The app also allows you to control which sites your child visits. We will cover these and other useful features in future posts.

How to track the location of a child? 4 main ways to find out where your child is
Every parent wants to be sure that everything is in order with their child. But at the same time, the children themselves are in no hurry to tell mom and dad about their lives, going for walks to dangerous places without permission, meeting with suspicious companies, or simply coming home at the wrong time and not answering the phone. To ensure the safety of a son or daughter, it is better to prepare – and buy a special device. We have collected the best location-based smartwatches for kids in one article.
The easiest and most effective way to track your baby’s location is with a smart watch. But there are other options as well.
Children’s smart watch with location tracking
Almost all models of smart watches for children support geolocation.
How to track your child by smart watch:
Open the companion app for this smart watch installed on your smartphone;
Make a geolocation request;
Please wait for a while, from a few seconds to 2-3 minutes depending on the model.
The place will be marked on the map.
Via mobile phone
Tracking by mobile phone number is offered by all major mobile operators. The only “but” – it is almost always paid. In addition, when determining the location by mobile phone number, GSM triangulation technology is used, so that the accuracy of the determination is from 50–100 meters.
Operators offer the following services:
MTS – Parental Control;
“Beeline” – “Coordinates and locator”;
“Megafon” – “Radar”;
“Tele2” – “Geopoisk”.
All services work through the installation of an application on your smartphone and require prior configuration.
How to track your child by phone:
You and your child must have the same operator;
Download the required application;
Log in with your username and password;
Add tracking phone number;
You may need to confirm tracking via SMS to the tracking number.
You will then be able to receive location information.
Location app
If your child uses an Android or iOS (Apple iPhone) smartphone, you can find out where they are without paying subscriptions or purchasing devices. You only need to know the login and password of the account on the device of your daughter or son.
For iPhone:
Open iCloud on your computer and go to Find My;
Enter your account login and password;
Select a device.
For android:
Go to https://www.google.com/android/find;
Enter your account login and password if necessary;
Select a device.
The smartphone must be connected to the Internet – mobile or Wi-Fi.
In addition, you can pre-install a special application such as the tracker “Where’s My Kids” or GeoLocator. It will require pre-configuration. Apple smartphones can also use Family Link. The application will need to be given special access.
By phone number
Tracking by phone number also requires pre-configuration and is carried out through the applications of telecom operators indicated in the “Via mobile phone” section. Or you can install the app.
Thus, all methods require preliminary preparation. But the safety of the child should always be taken care of in advance, and not panic at the last moment. Therefore, we recommend that you purchase a smart watch, a GPS locator or subscribe to a service from an operator before some unpleasant incident occurs.

If a child goes to primary school and returns home by himself, then you can find out exactly where the child is, whether he reached home
😢
Hello, developer, I saw what kind of messages you are replying to the reviews of parents . .. I’m a little freaked out, I’m very grateful that my parents didn’t download the family link for me. I sit on tik tok and read the reviews of the parents who downloaded it. There they write like “my son asked me to buy a rope, soap and a knife I’m glad that he started doing needlework “they don’t understand that because of this, children go to kill themselves, cut their hands and hang themselves, this is a disgusting application!
Hello! We have the KID SECURITY app, not FAMILY LINK.
The promise is not fulfilled!
The application is paid. Listen to the sounds around the child are paid. This feature is not available for iPhone. But promises through the roof! In fact, I can’t do anything in this application.
You can see the baby’s location and listen to sounds around the baby.

Russian developers integrated with Apple Watch to track the location of children

The company “Where are my children” has released an application for Apple Watch that shows geolocation, displays statistics on steps and sends a sound signal to the parent in case of an alarm, the company’s press service reported. It is installed on the watch of the child and the smartphone of the parent. This is the first application whose integration with Apple Watch has been approved by Apple.
Denis Savosin
Now the application works without being tied to the phone. According to the company, it’s the first tracker app for the Apple Watch that doesn’t need to sync with an Apple smartphone.
Users of “Where are my kids”, in addition to determining the exact geolocation of the child, have access to the functionality of analyzing the activity of the child and controlling his environment, monitoring application usage statistics, preventing the use of unwanted applications and content.
The Find My Kids app for Apple Watch also includes a panic button for emergencies. After the child presses it, information with geolocation data is immediately displayed on the parent’s smartphone.
In addition to the child safety features, there are also educational activities. The parent creates them on his own or chooses from those that the application offers him. The child, completing tasks, earns virtual stars, which can be exchanged for rewards or praise from parents. Tasks from the service are created by a team of methodologists, taking into account the age of the children.
In the future, it is planned to add data on the time that the child spends in the gadget, statuses on the child’s physical activity, his screen time and completed tasks to the functionality of the application on the watch.
In the spring of 2021, Apple representatives came up with a proposal to the developers of Find My Kids to integrate the application’s functions not only into Apple smartphones, but also into the company’s new watches, the press service said. As a result of the joint work, the application “Where are my children” for smart watches appeared. The company’s solution was the first to pass moderation, the first among the security applications segment.
According to the developers, this technology will be of interest, first of all, to Western users, since Apple Watch with an electronic SIM card is available on their territory. The company expects that the application will increase the number of American and Western European users of the service.
The manufacturer of family trackers, the Russian company “Where are my children”, develops a service that, using a mobile application on a child’s phone or watch, allows parents to be calmer about their children. According to the company’s own data, the application is used by more than 3 million parents in 170 countries. Is a resident of Skolkovo.

Day Care Centers Site
More and more in today’s world both parents have employment and need suitable day care centers for their children. These early stages in a child’s life are very important to their growth and development. Choosing a good child day care center is vital, one where the adult won’t just plunk your children down in front of a soap opera all day and feed them Top Ramen. You should look for day care centers that provide learning programs and playtime for your child, along with a safe and healthy environment.
There are many different types of day care centers, ranging from basic nurseries to preschools that will provide more of a learning environment for your children. Some day care centers specialize in a specific age range, while others are more open. When you’re contemplating placing your child in a specific day care center, you should visit each one with your child. In this way, you can see how your child reacts to the other children who are there and to the caregiver. You want your child to be happy and comfortable.
While some day care centers provide a greater variety of activities than others, any good day care center is going to encourage positive interaction among all of the children. They will also have rules that promote good behavior, learning, manners, and child development. You certainly don’t want to have to worry that your child is going to develop bad habits from day care.

While you don’t need to go overboard in choosing suitable day care centers, you should approach the subject seriously and with thought. Your child is going to be spending a good-sized portion of his or her life in day cares and you want to make sure it is going to be a positive experience. Family is the most important thing in the world and you should make sure that your children are your first priority. When you are considering a day care center, you should look at where it is located and how much it costs. There’s not much sense in putting your son or daughter in daycare so that you can work full time and spending most of what you earn on the day care center’s tuitions and your travel expenses. If that’s the case, you might as well stay home with your child. However, if you do truly need the money, there are usually plenty of day care services available and it shouldn’t be too difficult to find one close by that is reasonably priced.
Different Kinds of Child day Care Centers
While child day care centers are common, there is such a huge demand for this service that there are now quite a variety of options available other than basic day care. These include the following:
Home child care or family childcare
Child care services
Preschool
Nursery
Home child care tends to be the most popular option because it is generally more affordable and a smaller environment. While some day care centers are quite large and can provide better early childhood education, it is also more difficult for each child to receive personal attention. Day care centers that are based out of someone’s home are usually more personal and your child can receive more care and nurturing. Most parents want their children to be receiving love and affection, the care that they themselves would give them. They don’t want a day care business that is merely going to make sure that their child is still alive and adequately healthy.
Home child care providers are also more adaptable, generally speaking. This means that if your child likes a certain song sung to them before they take their nap each day, the home care provider is more likely to be willing to do that than someone in a larger day care facility. Most adult home child care providers are parents themselves, making them better able to understand and love your child.
Other Things to Think About
One of the first steps you should take after picking out a family day care center that you think will be suitable for your child is do a little investigating. This can involve talking to the parents of the other children that use the child day care center to see what they think about it. You should also always check to make sure the child care service you are considering is legally licensed to operate in your state. Licensing officials check criminal records and ensure that the child care provider has emergency response training and a safe and healthy environment for the children. As mentioned earlier, it is a good idea to visit the child day care center that you are considering. You should do this at least a couple of times, and try to go at different times of the day so that you can get a better idea of what kind of schedule they have. This will help you to see how your own child would fit in. If you are having difficulties finding the appropriate child care environment for your son or daughter, there are some other options. Some people get family and friends to help out, while others hire a nanny. Adult nannies are a good option because they ensure that your child receives personal attention and quality child care. However, this also means that your child will not receive as much social interaction since he or she won’t have other children to play with like in a family day care center.
No matter what option you decide to go with, make sure that you know who you are leaving your child with. Meet them, get to know them, and let your child do the same. Do some research on the internet to make sure that no one has had negative experiences with the day care center you are considering. Check to make sure that they are legally licensed. Once you have done all of this, you can feel more confident and secure in knowing that you have chosen the right day care center for your child.
Switching Day Care Centers
Choosing Another Child Care Provider
So you want to switch day care providers for your kids but you don’t know where to start or what to choose among the plethora of options out there in this world. It is fittingly one of the most important decisions of a young parent’s journey due to the fact that a child’s first formative years up until the age of six is critical. It is important for parents to not just consider the monetary impact of these choices but also the emotional, intellectual, and social future impacts the choice of a day care provider will have on their kids in the long term future. So let’s discuss some general tips to consider for the parent and the child to consider when one is looking to switch day care providers within a short time frame.
First, you must consider the cost of attending some of the more prestigious and rigorous day care provider centers in your area. In some areas, let’s face the reality that the more money per month per child spent; the better the facilities and the educational value experience offered for your child. Things such as using smart boards and I Pad’s to enhance the learning experience is a very real possibility in these places. However, if a parent is budget conscious they can still afford this experience but it would mean cutting back on all or most non-necessity spending. This would include curbing your eating out habits as well as any leisure entertainment or travel activity and place that money instead into your child’s future day care home. If an expensive day care sees that you are making an effort to keep up with the payments; then they will be more willing to work with you and not let your child leave that place. For a child going to this environment, they need to consider whether or not they will fit into this environment, things like playtime, feeding time, and individual care of the staff- is it received well by the child? These will make the difference between choosing these ones or a cheaper alternative. Cheaper is not all bad if the quality and availability of care is there for your child in the first place.
Secondly, you need to consider your travel times and distance of day care relative to your work and other important places like the hospital, grocery store, bank, and places that you frequent on a daily basis. Is it near enough that you can get to your child should he/she become ill or need special attention so that the day care center can contact you and arrange a meeting with you the same day if needed.
Furthermore, you need to consider the overall cleanliness and friendliness of the day care center provider. Do not underestimate a clean environment for your kid to play and learn in with other kids. Your kid will enjoy making new friends in a clean and safe environment. Plus you as a parent will enjoy the peace of mind of knowing that your child will not be being home any unwanted germs and diseases into your house. Parents must also consider if there is a dispute over payment and care; how does the management and staff deal with such requests? If there is a lackadaisical approach to your core issues; then that is a bad prelude of things to come concerning your child’s care. Your child will probably feel like he/she is being neglected or not fed on time and will start to complain to you ever so slightly that something is not right. When they do, do not hesitate to take them out of that day care center and find another one immediately.
In a recessionary economy, it is okay and permissible for both parents and kids to demand the best care for their dollar. Make your day care dollar stretch by reading all of the material and brochures and visiting every day center on your list until you find that perfect fit for your child. It’s out there; it is just waiting on you to find it!
Child Care Options for Low Income Families
One of the most frustrating aspects of being a working citizen is not having the ability to afford childcare. The majority of day care facilities charge as much as $300 per week for each child. That amount is difficult for middle-class citizens to pay. Low-income families cannot fathom paying such an expense. Luckily, the government and the various states have developed programs that help low-income families get the childcare they deserve. The following is some information on those programs:
Extended Day Program
The extended day program can assist low-income working parents during the regular school year. Many school districts offer this program. The school keeps children before and after school hours for a small monthly fee. A parent can drop a child off as early as 7:00 a.m. and pick the child up as late as 6:00 p.m. This program is excellent for low-income workers with daytime weekday jobs. The cost is approximately $150 per month for before and after school. The weekly rate is approximately $37.50, which is extremely competitive.
The attendants participate in various activities with the children before and after school. They help the children with their homework so that the parents have less stress when they come home from work. They give the children a full breakfast in the morning program and a snack in the evening program. Parents can opt to pay for the morning program only, the evening program only, or both programs. The evening program is the more expensive of the two because it lasts so many hours after the school releases the children. The evening program is $100 while the morning program is $52.
The Child Care Assistance Program
CCAP is a special program that provides childcare assistance to certain low-income families. People who are collecting TANF are automatically eligible to receive this assistance. Teenage parents who are working on obtaining their educations are also eligible for CCAP. Those who are not collecting TANF can still qualify if they are pursuing education that will improve their work skills and job opportunities. Parents can apply for CCAP assistance with the Department of Children & Family Services. The financial guidelines for qualification are along the lines of a $3,000 per month income threshold for a four-person family. The applicant must have proof of income, social security cards, birth certificates, and immunization records for all children. Application processing can take up to 30 days.
Head Start
Head start is a program for children between the ages of three and five. The program provides childcare services and medical services to the children who qualify. It is funded by the Administration of Children’s Services. The Head Start program covers childcare from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Teachers work with the children to fine-tune their social and developmental skills. Those who are interested in the program may apply online. Applicants go on a waitlist until there is an available slot in the program. It is best for an interested person to complete an application as quickly as possible since the wait may be extended.
Child Care Voucher Program
The Child Care Voucher Program is in effect in many states throughout the United States. It provides a subsidy of up to 95 percent of childcare cost to low-income families. Subsidy recipients will choose an eligible provider from the list of licensed providers. They may also select a relative or an in-home provider. The Child Care Voucher Program covers the childcare from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Monday through Friday. This is known as the traditional childcare period. However, the program also covers non-traditional times for parents who work odd shifts. It covers nights, weekends, and evenings.
A wide variety of options is available for low-income childcare. Many stay-at-home moms also run small day care businesses in which they discount their services. There is a way to make working and taking care of your children affordable.

Relationship problems in the socio-pedagogical process. Learning to solve constructively
The ability of a teacher to resolve conflict situations constructively, taking into account feelings and mutual interests, is extremely relevant. Conflict management involves not only the regulation of confrontation that has already arisen, but also the creation of conditions for its prevention. Of the two management tasks indicated, prevention is of the greatest importance. High-quality work to prevent conflicts reduces their number and eliminates the possibility of destructive conflict situations in an educational organization.
Guidelines for conducting a workshop for teachers “Conflicts in the socio-pedagogical process. Problems of relationships between teachers and parents of students” includes materials for self-diagnosis of teachers on strategies of behavior in conflict, determination of resilience and social and communicative competence; practical exercises to develop the skills of conflict-free communication.

Literary and Musical Lounge “Times connecting thread …”
On the eve of professional holidays – the Day of the worker of preschool education and the Day of the teacher for teachers of the city of Tyumen, a literary and musical drawing room was held at the Museum “Kolokolnikov’s Estate”.
On a warm autumn evening, September 16, teachers of educational institutions plunged into the history of our city to the enchanting sounds of a flute, bewitching violin strings. The name of the living room is also symbolic “The connecting thread of times…”, when history and modernity reunited in people, music, poetry…
The work on the scenario, where it was important to emphasize the origins of literary drawing rooms, starting from 2011, and now the tradition of such meetings in the pedagogical community of the city has revived again, was entrusted to the organizing committee represented by the methodologists of the UIA IMC in Tyumen.
Among the invited guests there were teachers who actively showed themselves in the competitive movement, festivals of various levels, having an active professional position.
Welcoming words with congratulations from colleagues were made by the head of the education and socialization department of the MAU IMC in Tyumen Kuznetsova Natalia Evgenievna and the chairman of the Tyumen city organization of the Trade Union of Education and Science Workers of the Russian Federation Lyubov Alexandrovna Gnusareva, as well as the head of the Kolokolnikov Estate Museum Demchuk Gulnara Gennadievna. They emphasized and expressed respect for such a humane profession as a teacher.
The Literary and Musical Lounge opened the curtain and the guests were greeted by the Kolokolnikov couple – Stepan Ivanovich and Maria Nikolaevna, the owners of the trading house. The role of the spouses was played by the methodologists of the museum and educational activities of the Museum “Kolokolnikov Estate” Melnikov Timofey Vasilievich and Skornyakova Evgenia Evgenievna. The guests of the evening learned many interesting historical events related to the estate, the contribution of the Kolokolnikovs to the education system of Tyumen, the role of spouses of good mentors in raising children, which is so symbolic in the year of folk art and the intangible cultural heritage of the peoples of Russia and on the eve of 2023 – the year of the teacher and mentor.
Historical facts were replaced by musical numbers performed by teachers of the city’s educational institutions. In preparation for this event, they were defined as family duets: the music director of MADOU d / s No. 185 of the city of Tyumen – Gubanova Ksenia Andreevna and her son, a student of the 7th grade of the MAOU secondary school No. 63 of the city, a student of the Children’s School of Art “Etude” in Tyumen – Gubanov Miroslav, as well as a professional quartet consisting of music teacher MAOU secondary school No. 70 of the city of Tyumen Komarova Anna Yurievna, music director of MADOU d / s No. 160 of the city of Tyumen Elizarova Arina Dmitrievna, primary school teacher MAOU secondary school No. 15 of the city of Tyumen Boyarskaya Svetlana Vladimirovna, music director of MADOU d / from No. 185 of the city of Tyumen Gubanova Xenia Andreevna. Their enchanting performance of compositions about teachers and for them did not leave anyone indifferent from those present. And how heartfelt was the solo of Boyarskaya Svetlana Vladimirovna, who gave everyone a poem by K. Ibryaev “Do you remember there was a sea of flowers and sounds around …”.
In the course of working on the script, we also managed to establish professional cooperation with the magnificent violinist – soloist of the pop-jazz orchestra “Golden Trumpet” in Tyumen Khudyakova Anastasia Alexandrovna, who conquered with her musical potpourri.
It was important for us that everyone had a pleasant rest this evening listening to classical music, getting those emotions that would inspire new professional ideas. The meeting of colleagues has become a tradition that preserves culture, history, nobility, everything that the profession of a teacher carries in itself, who preserves the value of childhood and the concepts of “kindness” and “respect” for children.
The guests were able to enjoy fragrant Siberian Ivan-tea, kindly provided by the Kolokolnikov spouses, in addition, a tour of the house-museum was organized for them.
The methodologists of the museum prepared a presentation of the program for the new season 2022-2023 for children of preschool and primary school age, the presentation also interested teachers and, importantly, specialists also organize trips to kindergartens and schools to conduct their programs.
The Literary and Musical Lounge “Times connecting thread …” has written its own page in the history of meetings of teachers in the city of Tyumen!
A memory of past years
Everything is reflected in the people:
In traditions, culture, word
And in creativity it is taken as a basis.
And sometimes it happens like this,
Thread wrapped from head to toe
And the uneasy force conquers the soul
You feel – after all, such an immense
World History of the Ages,
Tangled in life of all kinds.
Times tying thread
Who can say what she hides?..

Ministry of Education, Science and Youth Policy of the Republic of Komi
The functions and powers of the founder on behalf of the Government of the Republic of Komi are exercised by the Ministry of Education, Science and Youth Policy of the Republic of Komi.
Your facial expressions, gestures, posture, and tone of voice are powerful communication tools. Here’s how to read and use body language to build better relationships at home and work.
What is body language?
While the key to success in both personal and professional relationships lies in your ability to communicate well, it’s not the words that you use but your nonverbal cues or “body language” that speak the loudest. Body language is the use of physical behavior, expressions, and mannerisms to communicate nonverbally, often done instinctively rather than consciously.
Whether you’re aware of it or not, when you interact with others, you’re continuously giving and receiving wordless signals. All of your nonverbal behaviors—the gestures you make, your posture, your tone of voice, how much eye contact you make—send strong messages. They can put people at ease, build trust, and draw others towards you, or they can offend, confuse, and undermine what you’re trying to convey. These messages don’t stop when you stop speaking either. Even when you’re silent, you’re still communicating nonverbally.
In some instances, what comes out of your mouth and what you communicate through your body language may be two totally different things. If you say one thing, but your body language says something else, your listener will likely feel that you’re being dishonest. If you say “yes” while shaking your head no, for example. When faced with such mixed signals, the listener has to choose whether to believe your verbal or nonverbal message. Since body language is a natural, unconscious language that broadcasts your true feelings and intentions, they’ll likely choose the nonverbal message.
[Read: Effective Communication]
However, by improving how you understand and use nonverbal communication, you can express what you really mean, connect better with others, and build stronger, more rewarding relationships.
The importance of nonverbal communication
Your nonverbal communication cues—the way you listen, look, move, and react—tell the person you’re communicating with whether or not you care, if you’re being truthful, and how well you’re listening. When your nonverbal signals match up with the words you’re saying, they increase trust, clarity, and rapport. When they don’t, they can generate tension, mistrust, and confusion.
If you want to become a better communicator, it’s important to become more sensitive not only to the body language and nonverbal cues of others, but also to your own.
Types of nonverbal communication
The many different types of nonverbal communication or body language include:
Facial expressions. The human face is extremely expressive, able to convey countless emotions without saying a word. And unlike some forms of nonverbal communication, facial expressions are universal. The facial expressions for happiness, sadness, anger, surprise, fear, and disgust are the same across cultures.
Body movement and posture. Consider how your perceptions of people are affected by the way they sit, walk, stand, or hold their head. The way you move and carry yourself communicates a wealth of information to the world. This type of nonverbal communication includes your posture, bearing, stance, and the subtle movements you make.
Gestures. Gestures are woven into the fabric of our daily lives. You may wave, point, beckon, or use your hands when arguing or speaking animatedly, often expressing yourself with gestures without thinking. However, the meaning of some gestures can be very different across cultures. While the “OK” sign made with the hand, for example, usually conveys a positive message in English-speaking countries, it’s considered offensive in countries such as Germany, Russia, and Brazil. So, it’s important to be careful of how you use gestures to avoid misinterpretation.
Eye contact. Since the visual sense is dominant for most people, eye contact is an especially important type of nonverbal communication. The way you look at someone can communicate many things, including interest, affection, hostility, or attraction. Eye contact is also important in maintaining the flow of conversation and for gauging the other person’s interest and response.
Touch. We communicate a great deal through touch. Think about the very different messages given by a weak handshake, a warm bear hug, a patronizing pat on the head, or a controlling grip on the arm, for example.
Space. Have you ever felt uncomfortable during a conversation because the other person was standing too close and invading your space? We all have a need for physical space, although that need differs depending on the culture, the situation, and the closeness of the relationship. You can use physical space to communicate many different nonverbal messages, including signals of intimacy and affection, aggression or dominance.
Voice. It’s not just what you say, it’s how you say it. When you speak, other people “read” your voice in addition to listening to your words. Things they pay attention to include your timing and pace, how loud you speak, your tone and inflection, and sounds that convey understanding, such as “ahh” and “uh-huh. ” Think about how your tone of voice can indicate sarcasm, anger, affection, or confidence.
How nonverbal communication can go wrong
What you communicate through your body language and nonverbal signals affects how others see you, how well they like and respect you, and whether or not they trust you. Unfortunately, many people send confusing or negative nonverbal signals without even knowing it. When this happens, both connection and trust in relationships are damaged, as the following examples highlight:
Jack
believes he gets along great with his colleagues at work, but if you were to ask any of them, they would say that Jack is “intimidating” and “very intense.” Rather than just look at you, he seems to devour you with his eyes. And if he takes your hand, he lunges to get it and then squeezes so hard it hurts. Jack is a caring guy who secretly wishes he had more friends, but his nonverbal awkwardness keeps people at a distance and limits his ability to advance at work.
Arlene
is attractive and has no problem meeting eligible men, but she has a difficult time maintaining a relationship for longer than a few months. Arlene is funny and interesting, but even though she constantly laughs and smiles, she radiates tension. Her shoulders and eyebrows are noticeably raised, her voice is shrill, and her body is stiff. Being around Arlene makes many people feel anxious and uncomfortable. Arlene has a lot going for her that is undercut by the discomfort she evokes in others.
Ted
thought he had found the perfect match when he met Sharon, but Sharon wasn’t so sure. Ted is good looking, hardworking, and a smooth talker, but seemed to care more about his thoughts than Sharon’s. When Sharon had something to say, Ted was always ready with wild eyes and a rebuttal before she could finish her thought. This made Sharon feel ignored, and soon she started dating other men. Ted loses out at work for the same reason. His inability to listen to others makes him unpopular with many of the people he most admires.
These smart, well-intentioned people struggle in their attempt to connect with others. The sad thing is that they are unaware of the nonverbal messages they communicate.

How to improve nonverbal communication
Nonverbal communication is a rapidly flowing back-and-forth process that requires your full focus on the moment-to-moment experience. If you’re planning what you’re going to say next, checking your phone, or thinking about something else, you’re almost certain to miss nonverbal cues and not fully understand the subtleties of what’s being communicated. As well as being fully present, you can improve how you communicate nonverbally by learning to manage stress and developing your emotional awareness.
Learn to manage stress in the moment
Stress compromises your ability to communicate. When you’re stressed out, you’re more likely to misread other people, send confusing or off-putting nonverbal signals, and lapse into unhealthy knee-jerk patterns of behavior. And remember: emotions are contagious. If you are upset, it is very likely to make others upset, thus making a bad situation worse.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed by stress, take a time out. Take a moment to calm down before you jump back into the conversation. Once you’ve regained your emotional equilibrium, you’ll feel better equipped to deal with the situation in a positive way.
The fastest and surest way to calm yourself and manage stress in the moment is to employ your senses—what you see, hear, smell, taste, and touch—or through a soothing movement. By viewing a photo of your child or pet, smelling a favorite scent, listening to a certain piece of music, or squeezing a stress ball, for example, you can quickly relax and refocus. Since everyone responds differently, you may need to experiment to find the sensory experience that works best for you.
Develop your emotional awareness
In order to send accurate nonverbal cues, you need to be aware of your emotions and how they influence you. You also need to be able to recognize the emotions of others and the true feelings behind the cues they are sending. This is where emotional awareness comes in.
[Read: Improving Emotional Intelligence (EQ)]
Being emotionally aware enables you to:
Accurately read other people, including the emotions they’re feeling and the unspoken messages they’re sending.
Create trust in relationships by sending nonverbal signals that match up with your words.
Respond in ways that show others that you understand and care.
Many of us are disconnected from our emotions—especially strong emotions such as anger, sadness, fear—because we’ve been taught to try to shut off our feelings. But while you can deny or numb your feelings, you can’t eliminate them. They’re still there and they’re still affecting your behavior. By developing your emotional awareness and connecting with even the unpleasant emotions, though, you’ll gain greater control over how you think and act. To start developing your emotional awareness, practice the mindfulness meditation in HelpGuide’s free Emotional Intelligence Toolkit.
How to read body language
Once you’ve developed your abilities to manage stress and recognize emotions, you’ll start to become better at reading the nonverbal signals sent by others. It’s also important to:
Pay attention to inconsistencies. Nonverbal communication should reinforce what is being said. Is the person saying one thing, but their body language conveying something else? For example, are they telling you “yes” while shaking their head no?
Look at nonverbal communication signals as a group. Don’t read too much into a single gesture or nonverbal cue. Consider all of the nonverbal signals you are receiving, from eye contact to tone of voice and body language. Taken together, are their nonverbal cues consistent—or inconsistent—with what their words are saying?
Trust your instincts. Don’t dismiss your gut feelings. If you get the sense that someone isn’t being honest or that something isn’t adding up, you may be picking up on a mismatch between verbal and nonverbal cues.
Evaluating nonverbal signals
Eye contact – Is the person making eye contact? If so, is it overly intense or just right?
Facial expression – What is their face showing? Is it masklike and unexpressive, or emotionally present and filled with interest?
Tone of voice – Does the person’s voice project warmth, confidence, and interest, or is it strained and blocked?
Posture and gesture – Is their body relaxed or stiff and immobile? Are their shoulders tense and raised, or relaxed?
Touch – Is there any physical contact? Is it appropriate to the situation? Does it make you feel uncomfortable?
Intensity – Does the person seem flat, cool, and disinterested, or over-the-top and melodramatic?
Timing and place – Is there an easy flow of information back and forth? Do nonverbal responses come too quickly or too slowly?
Sounds – Do you hear sounds that indicate interest, caring or concern from the person?

The bottom line
We all rely on nonverbal communication. This is true whether playing a game of charades with your family or trying to show confidence during an important interview.
There’s a reason many of us prefer face-to-face communication over phone calls. Without seeing someone’s facial expressions, posture, and body language, it can be hard to read how they are feeling.
Nonverbal cues are just as important as verbalization. Nonverbal actions are key for communicating with and understanding everyone in your life.
Mastering non-verbal communication can also help your career. You can show your confidence, passion, and expertise through small nonverbal communication cues. This is true whether leading a team meeting or attending an important job interview.
What is nonverbal communication?
There are two primary forms of communication: verbal and nonverbal.
Verbal communication uses words to convey a message, whether that’s orally or in writing.
Your posture, facial expressions, and eye contact are examples of nonverbal communication methods. We all use these cues in daily conversation, even involuntarily.
Austrian-American author and educator Peter Drucker had it right when he said that, “The most important thing in communication is hearing what isn’t said.”
We all perform and respond to nonverbal communication — and what we understand that no one says — daily.
Why is nonverbal communication so important?
Nonverbal signals are far more subtle than uttered words, but they’re no less important. These cues reveal the meaning behind what someone is saying, their true feelings, and if they’re listening to your half of the conversation.
Outside of conversational cues, nonverbal behaviors are crucial to bridge language gaps. Even when two people don’t speak the same language, body language can help foster knowledge and understanding.
Nonverbal communication skills can also help create a more diverse and inclusive workplace. For example, some people with physical disabilities might struggle with their nonverbal cues. Plus, possessing the skills to communicate with nonverbal individuals is vital.
According to some studies, it’s also clear that non-verbal communication skills can help your career.
For example, teachers with these skills see more success with their students. When talking with your boss, coworkers, and clients, you can use non-verbal communication to gain a competitive edge.
Finally, your ability to use nonverbal communication can affect many areas of your life, including how you connect with others. This is why understanding the types of nonverbal communication is so important.
8 types of nonverbal communication
Experts have identified nine major types of nonverbal communication. They are:
1. Facial expressions
The look on an individual’s face is often the first thing we see. A smile, frown, or grimace tells a lot about their mood and how the subsequent conversation will go. Expressions of happiness, sadness, anger and fear are universal emotions and a key form of nonverbal communication.
2. Kinesics
Kinesics, or gestures, are conscious body movements like waving, pointing, and giving a thumbs up or down. One’s culture typically determines what gestures are socially acceptable and which are rude.
For example, in Westernized countries, glancing at your watch suggests, “I need to be somewhere.” In contrast, many Middle Eastern populations consider this rude. They are more likely to believe a conversation should continue until it ends naturally.
3. Paralinguistics
Paralinguistics — also known as vocalics — refers to the aspects of verbal communication that aren’t the words themselves. Your tone of voice, loudness, and pitch are common aspects of paralanguage.
This type of communication is powerful since altering your voice changes the meaning of a sentence. Think about all the ways you can use the phrase “I’m fine.” If you say it quietly, you might be feeling dejected, but if you say it forcefully, someone might detect your defensiveness.
4. Body language and posture
Crossing your legs or arms, a head nod, slouching, or sitting up straight are all examples of true body language. For example, you may have seen crime films focus on body language to further the narrative. It can also hint at what isn’t included in the dialogue.
However, this type of nonverbal communication is complex and quite subtle. Just because you observe a movement doesn’t guarantee you understand the meaning.
5. Proxemics
Proximity references how near something is. Human beings take personal space seriously. They also interpret physical distances in interactions differently.
Social and cultural expectations, personal preferences, and your relationship with someone all determine what proximity is suitable.
For example, if you’re in a relationship with someone, you’d expect to sit close together on the couch. On the other hand, you likely wouldn’t sit that close to your mom’s best friend when she comes over for her weekly book club.
6. Gaze
It may sound cliche, but it’s true that “The eyes are the windows to the soul.” Our eyes are a massive factor in nonverbal communication because they give away how we feel.
When we’re scared, our pupils dilate due to a surge in adrenaline. When something excites us, we blink rapidly. Maintaining eye contact generally means that someone is comfortable and telling the truth. In contrast, avoiding eye contact might suggest that they’re nervous or hiding something.
7. Haptics
Communication by touch is called haptics. Touch is powerful because our emotions drive it. Our social class, gender, and, of course, our upbringing all determine how we respond to touch. Women generally use touch to convey care and concern, while men are more likely to convey control.
Psychologist Harry Harlow made a career in studying the impacts of touch or lack thereof on rhesus monkeys. Monkeys who were raised without a touch from their mothers struggled with social interactions.
8. Appearance
Your appearance is another thing people notice immediately. Your hairstyle, clothing, tattoos, piercings, and even body shape give off cues. This can encourage snap judgments from other people. There’s a reason your mother always told you to “dress to impress” for a presentation at school or a job interview.
3 tips for understanding nonverbal communication
The more you practice reading cues, the better you’ll become. Some things you can do include:
1. Pay attention to inconsistencies.
Nonverbal communication can either reinforce or discourage what someone is saying. Does a person’s facial expressions match their words? Their tone of voice? If they do, then great. They’re most likely being honest about whatever they’re saying. If it’s the opposite, they may be trying to hide how they truly feel.
2. Look at nonverbal signals as a whole.
If you’re only paying attention to someone’s posture, you might miss a whole bunch of other clues. Nonverbal signals work in tandem to generate a complete picture of another human being.
3. Trust your instincts.
Go with your gut. Your instincts are there to help guide and protect you about what someone is saying and what they truly mean.
How to improve nonverbal communication
Nonverbal communication is a necessary factor at home, work, and beyond. Often, these signals occur rapidly. Interpreting or noticing all of them can be challenging during a single conversation.
Fortunately, there’s always room to improve upon these skills. To do so, try focusing on the below.
Managing stress at the moment.
When we’re stressed, we can’t communicate as effectively. How you’re feeling rubs off on others, too. Take some deep breaths to relax and refocus. You’ll feel better, and you’ll be able to read people more accurately.
Develop your emotional awareness.
Emotional intelligence, or EI, is a significant part of navigating relationships. Being emotionally aware helps you understand people more accurately. In addition, it improves relationships and lets others know that you understand their feelings.
The bottom line
Nonverbal communication undeniably plays a prominent role in personal and professional life. Person-to-person interaction will almost always involve some kind of non-verbal communication.
Learning to communicate nonverbally is a great way to advance personally and professionally.
Types of Nonverbal Communication – Communication for Business Professionals
Chapter 4: Nonverbal Communication
Now that you have learned about the general principles that apply to nonverbal communication, here are eight types of nonverbal communication to further understand this challenging aspect of communication:
1. Space
2. Time
3. Physical characteristics
4. Body movements
5. Touch
6. Paralanguage
7. Artifacts
8. Environment
Space
When we discuss space in a nonverbal context, we mean the space between objects and people. Space is often associated with social rank and is an important part of business communication. Who gets the corner office? Why is the head of the table important and who gets to sit there?
People from diverse cultures may have different normative space expectations. If you are from a large urban area, having people stand close to you may be normal. If you are from a rural area or a culture where people expect more space, someone may be standing “too close” for comfort and not know it.
Territory is related to control. As a way of establishing control over your own room, maybe you painted it your favorite color, or put up posters that represent your interests or things you consider unique about yourself. Families or households often mark their space by putting up fences or walls around their houses. This sense of a right to control your space is implicit in territory. Territory means the space you claim as your own, are responsible for, or are willing to defend.
Among most humans there is a basic need for personal space, but the normative expectations for space vary greatly by culture. You may perceive that in your home people sleep one to each bed, but in many cultures people sleep two or more to a bed and it is considered normal. If you were to share that bed, you might feel uncomfortable, while someone raised with group sleeping norms might feel uncomfortable sleeping alone. From where you stand in an aerobics class in relation to others, to where you place your book bag in class, your personal expectations of space are often at variance with others.
Watch the following 3 minute video from CBS with special correspondent Taryn Winter Brill about personal space:
In the same way that there are cultural contexts and expectations for nonverbal behavior, public speaking also happens in contexts. In North America, eye contact with the audience is expected. Big movements and gestures are not generally expected and can be distracting. The speaker occupies a space on the “stage,” even if it’s in front of the class. When you occupy that space, the audience will expect to behave in certain ways. If you talk to the screen behind you while displaying a PowerPoint presentation, the audience may perceive that you are not paying attention to them. Speakers are expected to pay attention to, and interact with, the audience, even if in the feedback is primarily nonverbal. Your movements should coordinate with the tone, rhythm, and content of your speech. Pacing back and forth, keeping your hands in your pockets, or crossing your arms may communicate nervousness, or even defensiveness, and detract from your message.
Time
Do you know what time it is? How aware you are of time varies by culture and normative expectations of adherence (or ignorance) of time. Some people, and the communities and cultures they represent, are very time-oriented.
When you give a presentation, does your audience have to wait for you? Time is a relevant factor of the communication process in your speech. The best way to show your audience respect is to honor the time expectation associated with your speech. Always try to stop speaking before the audience stops listening; if the audience perceives that you have “gone over time,” they will be less willing to listen. This in turn will have a negative impact on your ability to communicate your message.
Physical Characteristics
You didn’t choose your genes, your eye color, the natural color of your hair, or your height, but people spend millions every year trying to change their physical characteristics. You can get colored contacts; dye your hair; and if you are shorter than you’d like to be, buy shoes to raise your stature a couple of inches. However, no matter how much you stoop to appear shorter, you won’t change your height until time and age gradually makes itself apparent. If you are tall, you might find the correct shoe size, pant length, or even the length of mattress a challenge, but there are rewards.
Regardless of your eye or hair color, or even how tall you are, being comfortable with yourself is an important part of your presentation. Act naturally and consider aspects of your presentation you can control in order to maximize a positive image for the audience.
Body Movements
The study of body movements, called kinesics, is key to understanding nonverbal communication.
Body movements can complement the verbal message by reinforcing the main idea. For example, you may be providing an orientation presentation to a customer about a software program. As you say, “Click on this tab,” you may also initiate that action. Your verbal and nonverbal messages reinforce each other. You can also reinforce the message by repeating it. If you first say, “Click on the tab,” and then motion with your hand to the right, indicating that the customer should move the cursor arrow with the mouse to the tab, your repetition can help the listener understand the message.
In addition to repeating your message, body movements can also regulate conversations. Nodding your head to indicate that you are listening may encourage the customer to continue asking questions. Holding your hand up, palm out, may signal them to stop and provide a pause where you can start to answer.
Body movements also substitute or replace verbal messages. For example, if the customer makes a face of frustration while trying to use the software program, they may need assistance. If they push away from the computer and separate themselves physically from interacting with it, they may be extremely frustrated. Learning to gauge feelings and their intensity as expressed by customers takes time and patience, and your attention to them will improve your ability to facilitate positive interactions.
Touch
Before giving your presentation, you may interact with people by shaking hands and making casual conversation. This interaction can help establish trust before you take the stage. Once on stage, most people do not touch audience members physically, but you can interact with audience members through visual aids, note cards, and other objects.
Watch the following short video that demonstrates the importance of handshakes. Bad Business Handshakes:
Paralanguage
Paralanguage is the exception to the definition of nonverbal communication. You may recall that nonverbal communication was defined as “not involving words” but paralanguage is a unique form of nonverbal communication that exists when we are speaking, using words. Paralanguage involves tone and nonverbal aspects of speech that influence meaning, including how loudly or softly you are speaking, intensity, pausing, and even silence.
Perhaps you’ve also heard of a pregnant pause, a silence between verbal messages that is full of meaning. The meaning itself may be hard to understand or decipher, but it is there nonetheless. For example, your coworker Jan comes back from a sales meeting speechless. You may ask if the meeting went all right. “Well, ahh…” may be the only response you get. The pause speaks volumes. Something happened, though you may not know what.
Silence or vocal pauses can communicate hesitation, indicate the need to gather thought, or serve as a sign of respect. Sometimes we learn just as much, or even more, from what a person does not say as what they do say.
Watch the following 1 minute video. It’s Not What You Say, It’s How You Say It:
Artifacts
Do you cover your tattoos when you are at work? Do you know someone who does? Or perhaps you know someone who has a tattoo and does not need to cover it up on their job? Expectations vary a great deal, and body art or tattoos may still be controversial in the workplace. In your line of work, a tattoo might be an important visual aid, or it might detract from your effectiveness as a business communicator. Body piercings may express individuality, but you need to consider how they will be interpreted by employers and customers.
Artifacts are forms of decorative ornamentation that are chosen to represent self-concept. They can include rings and tattoos, but may also include brand names and logos. From clothes to cars, watches, briefcases, purses, and even eyeglasses, what we choose to surround ourselves with communicates something about our sense of self. Artifacts may project gender, role or position, class or status, personality, and group membership or affiliation. Paying attention to a customer’s artifacts can give you a sense of the self they want to communicate, and may allow you to more accurately adapt your message to meet their needs.
In this 1 minute, 24 second video, Adoni Irani, from the University of Toronto, shares the story behind his tattoos:
Now that we have discussed the general principles that apply to nonverbal communication, let’s examine eight types of nonverbal communication to further understand this challenging aspect of communication:
Space
Time
Physical characteristics
Body movements
Touch
Paralanguage
Artifacts
Environment
Space
When we discuss space in a nonverbal context, we mean the space between objects and people. Space is often associated with social rank and is an important part of business communication. Who gets the corner office? Why is the head of the table important and who gets to sit there?
People from diverse cultures may have different normative space expectations. If you are from a large urban area, having people stand close to you may be normal. If you are from a rural area or a culture where people expect more space, someone may be standing “too close” for comfort and not know it.
Edward T. Hall, serving in the European and South Pacific Regions in the Corps of Engineers during World War II, traveled around the globe. As he moved from one place to another, he noticed that people in different countries kept different distances from each other. In France, they stood closer to each other than they did in England. Hall wondered why that was and began to study what he called proxemics, or the study of the human use of space and distance in communication (Hall, E. T., 1963).
In The Hidden Dimension, he indicated there are two main aspects of space: territory and personal space. Hall drew on anthropology to address the concepts of dominance and submission, and noted that the more powerful person often claims more space. This plays an important role in modern society, from who gets the corner office to how we negotiate space between vehicles. Road rage is increasingly common where overcrowding occurs, and as more vehicles occupy the same roads, tensions over space are predictable.
Territory is related to control. As a way of establishing control over your own room, maybe you painted it your favorite color, or put up posters that represent your interests or things you consider unique about yourself. Families or households often mark their space by putting up fences or walls around their houses. This sense of a right to control your space is implicit in territory. Territory means the space you claim as your own, are responsible for, or are willing to defend.
The second aspect Hall highlights is personal space, or the “bubble” of space surrounding each individual. As you walk down a flight of stairs, which side do you choose? We may choose the right side because we’ve learned that is what is expected, and people coming up the same stair choose their right. The right choice insures that personal space is not compromised. But what happens when some comes up the wrong side? They violate the understood rules of movement and often correct themselves. But what happens if they don’t change lanes as people move up and down the stairs? They may get dirty looks or even get bumped as people in the crowd handle the invasion of “their” space. There are no lane markers, and bubbles of space around each person move with them, allowing for the possibility of collision.
We recognize the basic need for personal space, but the normative expectations for space vary greatly by culture. You may perceive that in your home people sleep one to each bed, but in many cultures people sleep two or more to a bed and it is considered normal. If you were to share that bed, you might feel uncomfortable, while someone raised with group sleeping norms might feel uncomfortable sleeping alone. From where you stand in an aerobics class in relation to others, to where you place your book bag in class, your personal expectations of space are often at variance with others.
As the context of a staircase has norms for nonverbal behavior, so does the public speaking context. In North America, eye contact with the audience is expected. Big movements and gestures are not generally expected and can be distracting. The speaker occupies a space on the “stage,” even if it’s in front of the class. When you occupy that space, the audience will expect to behave in certain ways. If you talk to the screen behind you while displaying a PowerPoint presentation, the audience may perceive that you are not paying attention to them. Speakers are expected to pay attention to, and interact with, the audience, even if in the feedback is primarily nonverbal. Your movements should coordinate with the tone, rhythm, and content of your speech. Pacing back and forth, keeping your hands in your pockets, or crossing your arms may communicate nervousness, or even defensiveness, and detract from your speech.
Figure 11.2 Space: Four Main Categories of Distance
As a general rule, try to act naturally, as if you were telling a friend a story, so that your body will relax and your nonverbal gestures will come more naturally. Practice is key to your level of comfort; the more practice you get, the more comfortable and less intimidating it will seem to you.
Hall articulated four main categories of distance used in communication as shown in Figure 11. 2 “Space: Four Main Categories of Distance” (Hall, E., 1966).
Time
Do you know what time it is? How aware you are of time varies by culture and normative expectations of adherence (or ignorance) of time. Some people, and the communities and cultures they represent, are very time-oriented. The Euro Railways trains in Germany are famous for departing and arriving according to the schedule. In contrast, if you take the train in Argentina, you’ll find that the schedule is more of an approximation of when the train will leave or arrive.
“Time is money” is a common saying across many cultures, and reveals a high value for time. In social contexts, it often reveals social status and power. Who are you willing to wait for? A doctor for an office visit when you are sick? A potential employer for a job interview? Your significant other or children? Sometimes we get impatient, and our impatience underscores our value for time.
When you give a presentation, does your audience have to wait for you? Time is a relevant factor of the communication process in your speech. The best way to show your audience respect is to honor the time expectation associated with your speech. Always try to stop speaking before the audience stops listening; if the audience perceives that you have “gone over time,” they will be less willing to listen. This in turn will have a negative impact on your ability to communicate your message.
Suppose you are presenting a speech that has three main points. Your audience expects you to regulate the time and attention to each point, but if you spend all your time on the first two points and rush through the third, your speech won’t be balanced and will lose rhythm. The speaker occupies a position of some power, but it is the audience that gives them that position. By displaying respect and maintaining balance, you will move through your points more effectively.
Chronemics is the study of how we refer to and perceive time. Tom Bruneau at Radford University has spent a lifetime investigating how time interacts in communication and culture (Bruneau, T. , 1974; Bruneau, T., 1990; Bruneau, T., and Ishii S., 1988). As he notes, across Western society, time is often considered the equivalent of money. The value of speed is highly prized in some societies (Schwartz, T., 1989). In others, there is a great respect for slowing down and taking a long-term view of time.
When you order a meal at a fast food restaurant, what are your expectations for how long you will have to wait? When you order a pizza online for delivery, when do you expect it will arrive? If you order cable service for your home, when do you expect it might be delivered? In the first case, you might measure the delivery of a hamburger in a matter of seconds or minutes, and perhaps thirty minutes for pizza delivery, but you may measure the time from your order to working cable in days or even weeks. You may even have to be at your home from 8 a.m. to noon, waiting for its installation. The expectations vary by context, and we often grow frustrated in a time-sensitive culture when the delivery does not match our expectations.
In the same way, how long should it take to respond to a customer’s request for assistance or information? If they call on the phone, how long should they be on hold? How soon should they expect a response to an e-mail? As a skilled business communicator, you will know to anticipate normative expectations and do your best to meet those expectations more quickly than anticipated. Your prompt reply or offer of help in response to a request, even if you cannot solve the issue on the spot, is often regarded positively, contributing to the formation of positive communication interactions.
Across cultures the value of time may vary. Some Mexican American friends may invite you to a barbecue at 8 p.m., but when you arrive you are the first guest, because it is understood that the gathering actually doesn’t start until after 9 p.m. Similarly in France, an 8 p.m. party invitation would be understood to indicate you should arrive around 8:30, but in Sweden 8 p.m. means 8 p.m., and latecomers may not be welcome. Some Native Americans, particularly elders, speak in well-measured phrases and take long pauses between phrases. They do not hurry their speech or compete for their turn, knowing no one will interrupt them (McLean, S., 1998). Some Orthodox Jews observe religious days when they do not work, cook, drive, or use electricity. People around the world have different ways of expressing value for time.
Physical Characteristics
You didn’t choose your birth, your eye color, the natural color of your hair, or your height, but people spend millions every year trying to change their physical characteristics. You can get colored contacts; dye your hair; and if you are shorter than you’d like to be, buy shoes to raise your stature a couple of inches. You won’t be able to change your birth, and no matter how much you stoop to appear shorter, you won’t change your height until time and age gradually makes itself apparent. If you are tall, you might find the correct shoe size, pant length, or even the length of mattress a challenge, but there are rewards. Have you ever heard that taller people get paid more (Burnham, T., and Phelan, J., 2000)? There is some truth to that idea. There is also some truth to the notion that people prefer symmetrical faces (where both sides are equal) over asymmetrical faces (with unequal sides; like a crooked nose or having one eye or ear slightly higher than the other) (Burnham, T., and Phelan, J., 2000).
We often make judgments about a person’s personality or behavior based on physical characteristics, and researchers are quick to note that those judgments are often inaccurate (Wells, W., and Siegel, B., 1961; Cash, T., and Kilcullen, R., 1985). Regardless of your eye or hair color, or even how tall you are, being comfortable with yourself is an important part of your presentation. Act naturally and consider aspects of your presentation you can control in order to maximize a positive image for the audience.
Body Movements
The study of body movements, called kinesics, is key to understanding nonverbal communication. Since your actions will significantly contribute to the effectiveness of your business interactions, let’s examine four distinct ways body movements that complement, repeat, regulate, or replace your verbal messages.
Body movements can complement the verbal message by reinforcing the main idea. For example, you may be providing an orientation presentation to a customer about a software program. As you say, “Click on this tab,” you may also initiate that action. Your verbal and nonverbal messages reinforce each other. You can also reinforce the message by repeating it. If you first say, “Click on the tab,” and then motion with your hand to the right, indicating that the customer should move the cursor arrow with the mouse to the tab, your repetition can help the listener understand the message.
In addition to repeating your message, body movements can also regulate conversations. Nodding your head to indicate that you are listening may encourage the customer to continue asking questions. Holding your hand up, palm out, may signal them to stop and provide a pause where you can start to answer.
Body movements also substitute or replace verbal messages. Ekman and Friesen found that facial features communicate to others our feelings, but our body movements often reveal how intensely we experience those feelings (Ekman, P., and Friesen, W., 1967). For example, if the customer makes a face of frustration while trying to use the software program, they may need assistance. If they push away from the computer and separate themselves physically from interacting with it, they may be extremely frustrated. Learning to gauge feelings and their intensity as expressed by customers takes time and patience, and your attention to them will improve your ability to facilitate positive interactions.
Touch
Touch in communication interaction is called haptics, and William Seiler and Meliss Beall identify five distinct types of touch, from impersonal to intimate, as listed in Table 11. 2 “Types of Touch”.
Table 11.2 Types of Touch
Term
Definition
1. Functional-Professional Touch
Medical examination, physical therapy, sports coach, music teacher
2. Social-Polite Touch
Handshake
3. Friendship-Warmth Touch
Hug
4. Love-Intimacy Touch
Kiss between family members or romantic partners
5. Sexual-Arousal Touch
Sexual caressing and intercourse
Before giving your presentation, you may interact with people by shaking hands and making casual conversation. This interaction can help establish trust before you take the stage. While speaking in public we do not often touch people in the audience, but we do interact with visual aids, our note cards, and other objects. How we handle them can communicate our comfort level. It’s always a good idea to practice using the technology, visual aids, or note cards you will use in a speech during a practice session. Using the technology correctly by clicking the right button on the mouse or pressing the right switch on the overhead projector can contribute to your credibility.
Paralanguage
Paralanguage is the exception to the definition of nonverbal communication. You may recall that we defined nonverbal communication as not involving words, but paralanguage exists when we are speaking, using words. Paralanguage involves verbal and nonverbal aspects of speech that influence meaning, including tone, intensity, pausing, and even silence.
Perhaps you’ve also heard of a pregnant pause, a silence between verbal messages that is full of meaning. The meaning itself may be hard to understand or decipher, but it is there nonetheless. For example, your coworker Jan comes back from a sales meeting speechless and with a ghost-white complexion. You may ask if the meeting went all right. “Well, ahh…” may be the only response you get. The pause speaks volumes. Something happened, though you may not know what. It could be personal if Jan’s report was not well received, or it could be more systemic, like the news that sales figures are off by 40 percent and pink slips may not be far behind.
Silence or vocal pauses can communicate hesitation, indicate the need to gather thought, or serve as a sign of respect. Keith Basso quotes an anonymous source as stating, “It is not the case that a man who is silent says nothing” (Basso, K. A., 1970). Sometimes we learn just as much, or even more, from what a person does not say as what they do say. In addition, both Basso and Susan Philips found that traditional speech among Native Americans places a special emphasis on silence (Philips, S., 1983).
Artifacts
Do you cover your tattoos when you are at work? Do you know someone who does? Or perhaps you know someone who has a tattoo and does not need to cover it up on their job? Expectations vary a great deal, but body art or tattoos are still controversial in the workplace. According to the San Diego Union-Tribune (Kinsman, M. , 2001),
20 percent of workers indicated their body art had been held against them on the job.
42 percent of employers said the presence of visible body art lowered their opinion of workers.
44 percent of managers surveyed have body art.
52 percent of workers surveyed have body art.
67 percent of workers who have body art or piercings cover or remove them during work hours.
In your line of work, a tattoo might be an important visual aid, or it might detract from your effectiveness as a business communicator. Body piercings may express individuality, but you need to consider how they will be interpreted by employers and customers.
Artifacts are forms of decorative ornamentation that are chosen to represent self-concept. They can include rings and tattoos, but may also include brand names and logos. From clothes to cars, watches, briefcases, purses, and even eyeglasses, what we choose to surround ourselves with communicates something about our sense of self. They may project gender, role or position, class or status, personality, and group membership or affiliation. Paying attention to a customer’s artifacts can give you a sense of the self they want to communicate, and may allow you to more accurately adapt your message to meet their needs.
Environment
Environment involves the physical and psychological aspects of the communication context. More than the tables and chairs in an office, environment is an important part of the dynamic communication process. The perception of one’s environment influences one’s reaction to it. For example, Google is famous for its work environment, with spaces created for physical activity and even in-house food service around the clock. The expense is no doubt considerable, but Google’s actions speak volumes. The results produced in the environment, designed to facilitate creativity, interaction, and collaboration, are worth the effort.
Key Takeaway
Nonverbal communication can be categorized into eight types: space, time, physical characteristics, body movements, touch, paralanguage, artifacts, and environment.

8 Types of Nonverbal Communication with Examples
Communication is very important because it is the process of sharing information, ideas, and opinions. It makes teams bond stronger, get to know each other and find solutions to problems.
Effective communication and correctly identifying the nonverbal cues when having meetings or hot discussions is essential. We often try to hide our emotions, feelings, and ideas but our bodies still send some subtle messages.
Establishing relationships on a professional and personal level requires effective communication abilities. Verbal and nonverbal communication are the two main categories and this blog will focus mainly on the non-verbal aspect of communication.
Nonverbal communication is frequently unintentional but may reveal a great deal about individuals and situations, even though most of us are aware of it and utilize it frequently.
Learning the types of nonverbal communication means that you can get better at reading body language. However odd it may seem; we all display behaviors that have the same function during stressful situations and not only. Emotions are universal.
What Is Nonverbal Communication?
Nonverbal communication or body language is the use of gestures, tone of voice, expressions, body posture, and so on to send a message. But why are these wireless cues so important to identify?
Body language is an essential part of communication and it helps you send an emotion or feeling to other people.
Depending on how you sound and act, you can put people at ease, draw them to you, build trust, or make them be afraid or have a negative impression on you.
Body language is a key part of communication that is important not only in a personal area when talking with your family, spouse, or children.
It is essential in your job too. Business people and managers get huge benefits if they are aware of non-verbal communication. It helps you:
– better communicate your ideas, opinions, and emotions
– better connect with others
– build stronger bonds
– increase trust and clarity
And all these benefits are of huge help when you lead a team and work with many stakeholders.
According to Rona Beck, a weekly contributor to an Assignment service on communication topics, there are many facets of non-verbal communication most people are not aware of.
Facial Expressions
One important thing that many people are not aware of is that facial expressions are universal. If you have watched the series Lie to me, you already know that there are seven basic emotions.
These are sadness, anger, disgust, fear, surprise, contempt, and happiness. Even though our cultures can shape our worldviews and behaviors, facial expressions are universal throughout the world.
There are over 50 studies that have shown that these facial expressions are spontaneous and cannot be consciously controlled. Further research discovered micro-expressions, which are different from the macro or facial expressions. When we are happy, fearful, or sad. In the presence of our closest ones, we do not have any reason to take them back or hide them.
However, when we go through different events, we might be tempted to do this. For example, in the case of a public speaking situation, when fear, shame, anxiety, and other negative emotions creep through your body. You will be tempted to hide them because of what people may think about you.
No matter how much we think that we can hide our feelings, they come to surface in the way of micro expressions. They are difficult to identify and you need training and exercise because they are quick and fleeting.
Gestures
There are many types of gestures. We all know that some of them are deliberate, such as waving or pointing, while others are not.
For example, there are adapting gestures such as touching some body parts, rings, clicking pens, and so on. They are often displayed when someone is in distress. During a presentation, you can notice that some speakers will adopt this kind of gesture.
There are also illustrator gestures, maybe one of the most natural ones. They are used subconsciously and illustrate the verbal message.
Posture and Movement
Posture and movement are key factors of body language. Most people will adopt comforting behaviors or actions during stressful moments.
Posture and movement can tell you how someone is feeling. For example, an arm-crossed posture sends the message that you are not open to new ideas or solutions.
Or, the leg-crossed posture is known as a posture of defiance and defensiveness. Posture and movement send information about attitude.
Paralinguistics
Nonverbal communication is a broad domain that includes all the subtleties of our bodies. Paralinguistics are represented by your tone of voice, pitch, loudness, and inflection.
Think about how the meaning of a sentence can be changed just only by how you pronounce and articulate different words. Misunderstandings can arise from small things, like not hearing a word correctly.
For example, the words affect and effect have different meanings, but sound very similar. Fortunately, in most cases, we can use context and body language to discern between the two.
You can identify how the other is feeling just by carefully listening to what and how he presents his ideas. A cold tone of voice is related to negative emotions, while a warm one to more positive ones.
Eye Gazing
Eyes are the window to the soul. And they never lie. We all know this. Eye contact is used in a conversation by everyone because it helps you gather information. It also helps you get feedback from the environment and notice the body language of your interlocutor.
However, eye contact helps us establish a connection with others. I have learned during my practice as a psychology student that when people gaze, I must not interrupt them. Gazing means that someone is deep thinking. Eye contact means that someone is ready to communicate and to listen to you.
Eyes can also be used to send different signals as well. Depending on the culture and society you live in, prolonged eye contact can send a signal of intimidation. Or, in another context, flirting.
Nevertheless, eyes can help someone establish a rapport or connection. And this is so important in the life of a businessman or manager.
Appearance
Nonverbal communication is also thought to be facilitated by the colors we wear, the clothes we dress up in, the haircuts we have, and other physical characteristics.
Different colors can provoke various emotions, according to research on color psychology. Physiological responses, assessments, and conclusions can all be influenced by appearance.
Just consider all the rapid and subconscious judgments you make about people based solely on their appearance. Because first impressions matter, experts advise job seekers to dress professionally for interviews with potential employers as well.
Culture has a big impact on how people evaluate appearances. While being thin is often admired in Western culture, certain African societies associate fuller figures with better social standing, wealth, and health.
Artifacts
Other means of nonverbal communication include objects and imagery. You might choose an avatar in an online forum, for instance, to represent your identity there and to share information about who you are and what you like.
People frequently invest a lot of effort creating an image for themselves and surrounding themselves with items that serve as symbols of the things that are significant to them.
For instance, uniforms can be used to send a great deal of personal information. A security guard will wear a uniform, a doctor will wear a white lab coat, and a student may wear a specific uniform to represent a certain school.
These costumes make it clear to onlookers what a person does for a living or where they belong.
Personal space
Have you ever experienced awkwardness during a conversation because the other person was intruding on your personal space? Although our needs for physical space vary depending on culture, circumstance, and the depth of the relationship, we are all there.
Physical space can be used to convey a variety of nonverbal cues, such as expressions of closeness and sympathy, dominance, or hostility. The typical conversational distance for Americans is between an arm’s length and four feet.
In American society, having less room can lead to either increased intimacy or hostile conduct. A person who has had their personal space invaded by another may feel intimidated as a result and may respond defensively.
Final Words
Nonverbal communication is also known as body language. It is something that is present in every moment of our lives and can offer valuable information about others.
The way you sit, talk, gesticulate, or walk can send subtle but powerful messages. Macro and micro expressions are universal.
Body language is important for everyone. It helps you adjust your behavior to some people. It helps you form stronger connections. It makes the process of supporting and helping others easier.
We communicate meaning and information to others through nonverbal cues, and we also perceive the activities of people around us by nonverbal cues.
When examining such nonverbal behaviors, it’s crucial to take the activities in groups into account. You can learn a lot about someone’s true intentions by observing their facial expressions, physical appearance, and tone of voice in addition to what they really say.

What we say without saying anything at all says a lot about us. While language is important for conveying thoughts and emotions, it’s not the only way we communicate. That’s where nonverbal communication comes in, bringing a host of cues from facial expressions to hand gestures that send important messages, helping others understand us.

What Is Nonverbal Communication?
Nonverbal communication is defined as how people communicate with each other without talking or writing. “For example, when we wink at someone, offer a strong handshake or back away, we are conveying a message without speaking a word,” says Marcie Coulter-Kern, Ph. D., a professor of psychology at Manchester University in North Manchester, Indiana. “Our facial expressions, body language and even physical distance send a message.”
We communicate nonverbally to convey information about emotions, intentions, attitudes, needs and more, according to research in the International Encyclopedia of the Social & Behavioral Sciences[1]Hall JA. Nonverbal Communication, Social Psychology of. International Encyclopedia of the Social & Behavioral Science. 2001;10702-10706. .
“We are constantly communicating nonverbally,” says Patti Wood, an international nonverbal communication and human behavior expert and author of SNAP:Making the Most of First Impressions, Body Language, and Charisma. In fact, we can exchange up to 10,000 cues in less than a minute, she says.
6 Common Types of Nonverbal Communication
Nonverbal communication goes well beyond arm crossing and head nodding. It encompasses everything from how loudly and quickly we speak to the way we dress and present ourselves.
While sign language uses different expressions and gestures, it’s important to note that it’s not considered a form of nonverbal communication. Instead, it’s a nonvocal form of verbal communication since signing can be translated into specific words.
Below, we outline the most common types of nonverbal communication.
Kinesics
Kinesics refers to body movements including gestures, head movements and facial expressions, notes research from the University of Minnesota[2]Functions of Language. Communication in the Real World. The University of Minnesota Libraries. Accessed 04/11/2022. . “They reflect our perception of ourselves and others and the situation and topic,” explains Wood. But while you can clearly see a person smile when they laugh or pose for a photo, for instance, there’s a wide range of expressions that we don’t always recognize so consciously. Tilting your head, tossing your hair, crossing your legs, tapping your foot and winking all count as body movement cues.
In fact, according to Coulter-Kern, we are more likely to believe someone’s facial expression than their words.
Chronemics
Chronemics is how time affects communication. More specifically, Wood says it’s the use of time to reflect personal or cultural identity, power or status. For example, arriving on time—or showing up late—as well as responding to a call or text in a timely fashion are forms of chronemics.
Proxemics
This type of nonverbal communication has to do with physical space and distance, notes data in Communication Disorders in Multicultural and International Populations tippy-popover-container-bg-white’ }”>[3]Proxemics. Communication Disorders in Multicultural and International Populations. Accessed 04/11/2022. . “We are drawn toward what we like and are repelled by what we don’t,” adds Wood.
There are four proxemic zones of personal space: intimate, personal, social and public (or professional). Interestingly, Wood explains that our personal space bubbles have shifted over time. For instance, she says intimate space has grown from 12 inches in the 1990s to up to 1.5 feet now.
In either setting, the amount of space we decide to set between ourselves and others boils down to comfort level. “People often position themselves closer to those they are comfortable with and farther away from those they distrust,” says Coulter-Kern.
Haptics
We also use touch to convey emotions and communicate. Haptics includes hugging, kissing, shaking hands and other forms of embracing. “Research shows that touch is the first sense to develop, and it plays an essential role in well-being,” says Wood.
Physical Appearance
“Physical characteristics such as skin color, height, weight, facial features, facial and body symmetry and attractiveness influence how people perceive us—and vice versa,” says Wood. We can alter our physical appearance with items like makeup, tattoos and jewelry. Aspects of our physical appearance, chosen or not, communicate meaning to the people around us, research shows.
Data backs the idea that our appearance can influence other people’s perceptions of us even before we have a chance to talk to them. “People often perceive trustworthiness, introversion or extroversion, maturity and friendliness by someone’s looks—sometimes incorrectly,” says Wood.
Vocalics
Also called paralanguage, this type of nonverbal communication spans all the nuances of a person’s voice, including their pitch, volume, rate and vocal quality. It also includes breathing, laughing or using verbal filler like “uh” or “um.” Vocalics comprise the vocalized — but not verbal — components of nonverbal communication.
Wood says this subcategory of nonverbal communication helps us assess other peoples’ personalities, emotional intensity and humor, and provides us with cues to regulate the flow of conversation. “Many experts consider paralanguage to be the most honest nonverbal communication and the best way to assess deceit,” says Wood.
How to Spot Nonverbal Communication in Others
What we express nonverbally matters because it is less under our conscious control than spoken words, says Coulter-Kern. “Consequently, we look to others’ body language as a sort of lie detector that provides information about what they really mean or feel,” she says.
It can take years of study to accurately decode each element of nonverbal communication, but you’re likely familiar with more than you think—you don’t even need to have eyes on someone to pick up on certain cues, says Coulter-Kern: “Even when we don’t physically see a person, we still draw conclusions from their voice quality, speed and volume. ”
When examining a person’s demeanor, pay attention to inconsistencies in what they say versus their gestures, how fast or loud they speak and whether or not they make eye contact, rather than assign a concrete meaning for each facial expression or hand gesture.
Don’t hyperfocus on just one sign, either. A simple head nod can be misleading when it doesn’t match the rest of a person’s verbal and nonverbal cues in its entirety.

How to Spot Your Own Nonverbal Communication—And Improve It
Spotting your own nonverbal communication requires some self-reflection. “We assess our nonverbal communication every time we look in a mirror or examine our photograph,” says Coulter-Kern. You can even take a peek at what you’re saying (without speaking) by recording a video of yourself.
To see how other people may perceive you, Wood suggests you “check in from your toes to the top of your head to note important connection cues, such as where your feet are pointed, if your knees are crossed, if the palms of your hands are showing and if you’re making eye contact for longer than three seconds.”
One of the best ways to key in on and improve our own nonverbal communication is to pay attention to how other people respond to us, adds Coulter-Kern. “When people either move toward us or away from us, there is a reason,” she says. “And that reason probably has something to do with your own nonverbal communication.”
Non-verbal means of communication – PSU im. T.G. Shevchenko
We very often turn to this way of communicating information, communicating with friends, relatives, business partners, colleagues and those with whom we only momentarily encounter daily life. It largely determines both the reaction to others and their attitude towards us. As soon as we consciously consider these silent signals, which we both give and receive, we will immediately discover the possibility of using them more effectively and effectively.
According to studies, 55% of messages are perceived through facial expressions, postures and gestures, and 38% through intonations and voice modulations. It follows that only 7% is left to the words perceived by the recipient when we speak. This is of fundamental importance. In other words, in many cases, how we speak is more important than the words we say.
Knowing the types of non-verbal communication and understanding non-verbal cues is important for several reasons. Firstly, they perform the functions of an accurate expression of feelings, because very often we experience feelings so complex that we simply cannot find the right words to describe them, but this can be done using non-verbal means and methods. Secondly, they perform the functions of a deeper mutual understanding.
Knowing the basic methods of non-verbal communication, you can better understand another person when he tries to control his behavior in communication with you, because non-verbal signals appear unconsciously and your interlocutor simply cannot control them. The classification of non-verbal means of communication and examples of their use will help you not only better understand yourself, but also teach you to recognize lies and manipulation by other people.
Expand your perception
In order to learn to better understand the interlocutor and recognize his hidden signals, you first need to learn to pay attention simultaneously to all elements or means of non-verbal communication, these include facial expressions, gestures, postures, intonation and timbre of voice, visual contact and interpersonal space. Let us consider in more detail about each of these elements of non-verbal communication and give specific examples of their manifestation.
Mimic
Facial expression is a person’s facial expression, it is the main element of displaying emotions and feelings. Positive emotions, such as love or surprise, are much easier to recognize than negative ones, such as disgust or anger. Emotions are reflected differently on the right and left sides of the face, because the left and right hemispheres of the brain perform different functions: the right one controls the emotional sphere, and the left one is responsible for intellectual functions.
Emotions are expressed in facial expressions in this way:
Anger – wide open eyes, lowered corners of the lips, “narrowed” look, clenched teeth;
Surprise – parted mouth, wide eyes and raised eyebrows, lowered tips of the lips;
Fear – drawn together eyebrows, stretched lips with pubescent and downward corners;
Happiness – a calm look, raised, laid back corners of the lips;
Sadness – a “faded” look, lowered corners of the lips, drawn together eyebrows.
Visual contact
This method of non-verbal communication helps to show interest in the conversation and better understand the meaning of what is said. During a conversation, two people together create and regulate the degree of comfort, periodically meeting their gaze and taking it away. A closer look can both build trust and create discomfort.
Pleasant general topics maintain eye contact, while negative, confusing questions cause the eye to look away, demonstrating disagreement and dislike.
Features of visual contact allow drawing conclusions about the degree of interest in the dialogue and attitude towards the interlocutor:
Location – attentive gaze, eye contact with pauses every 10 seconds;
Dislike – avoidance of eye contact, eye rolling.
Expectation – a sharp look into the eyes, raised eyebrows.
Intonation and timbre of voice
Correctly understanding the intonation and timbre of the voice means learning to “read between the lines” the message of another person. These features include frequent pauses, unfinished sentences and their construction, the strength and height of the voice, as well as the speed of speech.
Excitement – low tone of voice, fast staccato speech;
Fatigue – low tone of voice, lowering intonation towards the end of the sentence;
Enthusiasm – high tone of voice, clear confident speech;
Arrogance – slow speech, even monotonous intonation;
Uncertainty – mistakes in words, frequent pauses, nervous cough.
Gestures and postures
Feelings and attitudes of people can be determined by the manner of sitting or standing, by a set of gestures and individual movements. It is easier and more pleasant for people to communicate with those who have expressive motor skills and a lively, relaxed facial expression. Bright gestures display positive emotions and dispose to sincerity and trust. At the same time, excessive gesticulation, often repeated gestures can indicate internal tension and self-doubt.
Non-verbal communication becomes available, and the level of mutual understanding increases if you understand the postures and gestures of your interlocutor.
Criticality – one hand near the chin with the index finger extended along the cheek, the other hand supports the elbow;
Positivity – the body of the body, the head is slightly tilted forward, the hand slightly touches the cheek;
Distrust – the palm covers the mouth, expressing disagreement;
Boredom – head propped up by hand, body relaxed and slightly bent;
Superiority – sitting position, legs one above the other, hands behind the head, eyelids slightly closed;
Uncertainty – scratching or rubbing the ears, wrapping one hand around the elbow of the other hand;
Openness – arms spread out to the sides with palms up, shoulders straightened, head “looks” straight, body relaxed;
Interpersonal space
The distance between the interlocutors plays an important role in establishing contact, understanding the situation of communication. Often people express their attitude in such categories as “stay away from there” or “want to be closer to him.” If people are interested in each other, the space separating them decreases, they tend to be closer. For a better understanding of these features, as well as in order to correctly distinguish between situations and the scope of contact, you should know the basic limits of the allowable distance between interlocutors:
Intimate distance (up to 0.5 m) – intimate trusting relationships between loved ones, friends. It may also be acceptable in sports where physical contact is acceptable.
Interpersonal distance (from 0.5 m – to 1.2 m) – a comfortable distance during a friendly conversation, where touching each other is allowed.
Social distance (from 1.2m – to 3.7m) – informal interaction in society, during a business meeting. The greater the distance, up to the extreme border, the more formal the relationship.
Public distance (more than 3. 7 m) – a comfortable distance for a lecturer who makes a public speech in front of a large group of people.
Such limits of distances and their significance depend on the age, sex of a person, his personal characteristics. Children are comfortable at a closer distance from the interlocutor, and adolescents close and want to move away from others. Women love closer distances, regardless of the gender of their interlocutor. Balanced, self-confident people do not pay much attention to distance, while nervous anxious people try to stay away from others.
As verbal languages differ from each other depending on the type of culture, so the non-verbal language of one nation differs from the non-verbal language of another nation.
While a gesture may be universally recognized and have a clear interpretation in one nation, in another nation it may have no designation or have a completely opposite meaning.
One of the most serious mistakes that can be made in the study of non-verbal communication is the desire to isolate one gesture and consider it in isolation from other gestures and circumstances, therefore, one should remember that interpreting a single gesture without a combination of other body signals means introducing oneself into delusion. Therefore, before drawing specific conclusions, it is necessary to take into account all the nuances of the behavior of the interlocutor, as well as his physical and psychological state.

Ways of non-verbal communication
To create a holistic image of the communication process, non-verbal (not verbal) ways of partners interaction are taken into account. More than half of the data about a person can be obtained simply by observing his behavior, which means that at first we see and hear a person, only then do we form an idea about him. Scientists have discovered and recorded more than a thousand non-verbal signs and signals. A. Meyerabine found that words convey only 7% of information, sound means (including tone of voice, intonation of sound) – 38%, and non-verbal means – 55%.
Non-verbal communication is communication using paralinguistic ways of transmitting information (loudness of speech, timbre of voice, gestures, facial expressions, postures). The main types of non-verbal communication are visual, acoustic, tactile and olfactory (Fig. 1).

Non-verbal manifestations during communication
An interesting question arises, is it possible to deceive one’s own body? In fact, you can’t, because there will be no matches between gestures. For example, open palms speak of honesty, but if a deceiver opens his arms to you and smiles while telling a lie, the microsignals of his body will reflect his secret thoughts. This can be manifested by constricted pupils, a raised eyebrow, twisted corners of the mouth. Such signals will be contrary to open arms and a wide smile.
The face is used many times more often than any other part of the body to hide false statements. A person smiles, nods his head, winks to hide the lie, but unfortunately for the deceiver, the body uses signs that tell the true truth, and an observant person will quickly notice a discrepancy between the signals that he counts from the face and body and words. Therefore, the study of facial expressions can be called art.
Non-verbal means of communication are marked by specific socio-cultural conditions, therefore there are no general norms for all mankind. The non-verbal language of another country must be learned in the same way as the verbal one.
For example, in France the “OK” sign means “zero” or “nothing”, in Japan it means “money”, and in some Mediterranean countries it is used to indicate the homosexuality of a man.
In America, Great Britain, Australia and New Zealand, the raised thumb is used in three ways. It is usually used when “voting” on the road. In the second case, it is used as “everything is in order,” but if the thumb is sharply thrown up, this will be regarded as an offensive sign, which means obscene swearing. Some countries, such as Greece, use this gesture to mean “shut up”, so you can imagine what a Russian tourist would look like trying to catch a passing car on a Greek road.
The most common gestures
Consider the gestures that are most common regardless of culture.
Handshakes
By turning the palm in different directions, you can give a gesture of imperious, submissive or equal meaning. During an authoritative handshake, the hand should grab the other person’s hand so that the palm is turned down. Thus, this will be a message to the person that the opponent wants to be the main one in the process of communicating with him.
Putting hands behind the back
Some people are accustomed to walking with their heads held high, their chin up and their hands behind their backs. This is an indicator of a person’s self-confidence and, in addition, a sense of superiority over others. The gesture, when the hands are laid behind the back and grab the wrists, means that the person is upset and is trying to pull himself together.
“Lie” gestures
Some of the gestures are fast paced and in order depending on the person’s age. For example, when a five-year-old child tells a lie to his parents, then immediately after that he will cover his mouth with his hands. If a teenager tells a lie, then the hand covers the mouth in much the same way as a five-year-old child, but only with his fingers he will slightly trace the line of the lips. When an adult lies, his brain sends an impulse to cover his mouth in order to delay the words of deceit, as children do, but at the last moment the person removes his hand from his mouth and touches his nose, rubs his eyelids, ears, pulls back his collar.
Scratching the neck
Scratching the neck means the doubt and uncertainty of the person who says: “I’m not sure I agree with you.”
Crossing the arms on the chest
Locking the hands on the chest shows the desire to hide from an unfavorable situation. Crossing arms is a universal gesture that in almost all situations means a defensive or negative state of a person.
The most effective way to get a person to open his hands is to offer to take any object, when taking it, the person will stretch his hands forward. So he will take a more open position, and his condition may change.
But in a situation where a person not only crosses his arms over his chest, but also clenches his fingers into a fist, this is a sign of his hostility and offensive position. And if the hands of the crossed arms are on the shoulder part of the arm, then this signals that the person is holding back negative feelings.
Crossing the legs
Crossing the legs may indicate an agitated, reserved or defensive position. When the legs are crossed with the formation of an angle, this shows that there is rivalry and contradiction. This pose is popular with men who have a fighting nature. A person who has a quick reaction, very difficult to change his point of view in a dispute, often sits with his legs crossed and clasping his legs with his hands. This means that in front of you is a hard, stubborn person who requires a special approach to himself in order to find a common language.
Smoking
Cigarette smoking is a way to suppress internal tension, which allows you to stall before making a decision. At the same time, people tap, wave a cigarette, which indicates that a person is experiencing stress. If a person often throws ashes off the end of a cigarette, then he has high internal tension and may need to be calmed down. When a smoker lights a cigarette, but immediately puts it out before he finishes smoking to his usual length, this signals his desire to end the conversation.
Thus, the briefly analyzed features of non-verbal communication indicate that they are of great importance in the process of communication. Together with the verbal communication system, they exchange information that people need to organize joint activities and other forms of interaction.
Main conclusions
Communication is the exchange of information between people, the main purpose of which is the development of a common meaning, a common point of view and agreement in various situations or problems.
Communication barriers are psychological barriers to the correct transmission of information from one communication partner to another. Communication barriers are of three types: understanding, socio-cultural differences and attitudes.
Verbal communication tends to use human speech as a sign system, which is the most universal means of communication. Speech encodes and decodes information. An indispensable tool for this process is feedback, which is represented by messages sent by a person in response to messages from another.
Feedback is:
non-judgmental, when information is clarified in order to obtain additional information;
negative, which contains criticism or correction;
positive, which contains approval or support.
The psychological essence of the feedback process is the need for people to develop a common sign system and the same understanding of the issues discussed during communication.
A set of certain measures that are aimed at increasing the effectiveness of speech influence is called persuasive communication.
Speech activity is the activity of communication between people using language and speech. According to the degree of orientation, external and internal speech are distinguished. Inner speech occurs silently, like hidden thinking in verbal form, thinking to and for oneself. External oral speech is divided into monologue and dialogic.
Non-verbal communication is a type of communication in which para-linguistic means of transmitting information are used (speech volume, voice timbre, gestures, facial expressions, postures). The main types of non-verbal communication are visual, acoustic, tactile and olfactory.

Locking the hands on the chest shows the desire to hide from an unfavorable situation. Crossing arms is a universal gesture that in almost all situations means a defensive or negative state of a person.
The most effective way to get a person to open his hands is to offer to take any object, when taking it, the person will stretch his hands forward. So he will take a more open position, and his condition may change.
But in a situation where a person not only crosses his arms over his chest, but also clenches his fingers into a fist, this is a sign of his hostility and offensive position. And if the hands of the crossed arms are on the shoulder part of the arm, then this signals that the person is holding back negative feelings.
Crossing the legs
Crossing the legs may indicate an agitated, reserved or defensive position. When the legs are crossed with the formation of an angle, this shows that there is rivalry and contradiction. This pose is popular with men who have a fighting nature. A person who has a quick reaction, very difficult to change his point of view in a dispute, often sits with his legs crossed and clasping his legs with his hands. This means that in front of you is a hard, stubborn person who requires a special approach to himself in order to find a common language.
Smoking
Cigarette smoking is a way to suppress internal tension, which allows you to stall before making a decision. At the same time, people tap, wave a cigarette, which indicates that a person is experiencing stress. If a person often throws ashes off the end of a cigarette, then he has high internal tension and may need to be calmed down. When a smoker lights a cigarette, but immediately puts it out before he finishes smoking to his usual length, this signals his desire to end the conversation.
Thus, the briefly analyzed features of non-verbal communication indicate that they are of great importance in the process of communication. Together with the verbal communication system, they exchange information that people need to organize joint activities and other forms of interaction.
Main conclusions
Communication is the exchange of information between people, the main purpose of which is the development of a common meaning, a common point of view and agreement in various situations or problems.
Communication barriers are psychological barriers to the correct transmission of information from one communication partner to another. Communication barriers are of three types: understanding, socio-cultural differences and attitudes.
Verbal communication tends to use human speech as a sign system, which is the most universal means of communication. Speech encodes and decodes information. An indispensable tool for this process is feedback, which is represented by messages sent by a person in response to messages from another.
Feedback is:
non-judgmental, when information is clarified in order to obtain additional information;
negative, which contains criticism or correction;
positive, which contains approval or support.
The psychological essence of the feedback process is the need for people to develop a common sign system and the same understanding of the issues discussed during communication.
A set of certain measures that are aimed at increasing the effectiveness of speech influence is called persuasive communication.
Speech activity is the activity of communication between people using language and speech. According to the degree of orientation, external and internal speech are distinguished. Inner speech occurs silently, like hidden thinking in verbal form, thinking to and for oneself. External oral speech is divided into monologue and dialogic.
Non-verbal communication is a type of communication in which para-linguistic means of transmitting information are used (speech volume, voice timbre, gestures, facial expressions, postures). The main types of non-verbal communication are visual, acoustic, tactile and olfactory.

Tips for Developing Non-Verbal Communication Skills
There are various types of non-verbal communication: from some specific gestures to touch, from a person’s gaze to his spatial position or even just appearance. And each of these signals carries certain information, it is only important to interpret it correctly.
And it doesn’t always work out. While some gestures are quite unambiguous, others may not be entirely clear to the participant in the dialogue, who does not understand body language very well. But in the case when a person is well versed in the topic, many interlocutors are like an open book for him. And this state of affairs greatly facilitates communication.
The difference between verbal and non-verbal communication
Almost every person on Earth knows how to communicate using language and gestures. Moreover, if we teach speech, then the second method is often used unconsciously. These types of communication – verbal and non-verbal – are the means of transferring information between people. Depending on the chosen variant, the instrument for them is the word or the body.
The non-verbal view is remarkable in that through posture, facial expressions and gestures in various circumstances, a large number of images can be conveyed. Body language is very rich and is limited only by the abilities and imagination of the person himself. In fact, it is just as effective a way of communicating as speech.
It is quite easy to evaluate this ability: you can just sit down to watch a movie in an unlearned foreign language. In conditions of information deficiency, the brain itself will begin to provoke you to increased attention to detail. For example, gestures, facial expressions, minor body movements and conditions in which an event occurs on the screen. Even despite the lack of understanding of speech, you will still notice that by emotions, intonations and postures you are already reading some of the information, if not all of it. Some films are so rich in non-verbal that you can turn off the sound and watch only the picture: almost everything will be clear.
When reporting that he speaks a language, a person often does not even think that at the same time he means not only a specific language, for example, English or Russian. In fact, he constantly broadcasts information, even when he is silent, through postures, facial expressions and gestures. The non-verbal way of communication allows you to communicate in the presence of a language barrier, regardless of gender and age.
Speech must be mastered in order to be used. Learn the alphabet, pronunciation, correct stress and word formation rules. Sign language, on the other hand, requires only the body and the work of the muscles. With its help, you can broadcast primitive images to establish communication with any person.
Of course, the contact will be at a low level, since it is necessary to use basic and universal for many forms of gestures. However, it is non-verbal communication that makes our appearance and posture informative. Sometimes a couple of gestures replaces a big emotional exclamation. So, a foreigner, having forgotten the necessary words, can use his fingers and facial expressions to point out what he is interested in.
Conscious and unconscious non-verbal communication
Depending on how deliberately a person uses the abilities of his body to contact others, 2 types of communication can be distinguished.

“Non-verbal communication in business – facial expressions, postures, gestures and clothing”More
The first is non-verbal communication done consciously. A person specifically chooses certain postures, gestures, facial expressions in order to convey to the interlocutor his opinion, mood, necessary information.
The second is unconscious non-verbal communication. With it, almost all the actions we perform in the process are spontaneous. An experienced person can read them, and they will tell him much more about the interlocutor than any words.
One can quite clearly observe how various types of non-verbal means of communication are used in acting. There it almost always happens consciously. Well-trained poses, gestures, facial expressions help the actors create their characters as realistic as possible. Non-verbal or body language, when used consciously, opens up great possibilities.
Experienced and resourceful actors have a serious knowledge of body language. Through observation and attentiveness, they notice the smallest details that can be used in a pose to enhance the spoken words, which helps them create dozens and hundreds of variations of behavior for any occasion.
Importance of conscious non-verbal communication
Communication through body language is essential for meaningful communication. Communication through gestures reinforces what was said, giving it the necessary emotional coloring. In fact, it is various types of non-verbal communication that allow people with a language barrier or problems with pronouncing sounds to communicate with each other.
Moreover, if in the first case the complexity of the transmitted images can be increased gradually, then in the second it is impossible, since gestures become, in principle, the only means of communication with another person.
Most people communicate using words. People with voice and hearing disabilities are left with only their fingers and face as an alternative to speech and emotions. They use gestures and facial expressions to communicate with each other and those around them.
Sometimes there are situations when it is impossible to convey something with the help of words: soundproof walls, long distance, noisy crowd. This is where non-verbal communication comes in. Its conscious application can be seen in many places. For example, hunters, divers, motorists have a system of conventional signs. Owning them helps to quickly coordinate many actions.
5 functions of non-verbal communication
The language of postures and gestures significantly complements human speech. With its help, any spoken words acquire an emotional coloring and, in general, what is said is better perceived. Communication becomes more constructive.
Psychologists distinguish 5 functions of non-verbal communication:
Duplication of . A person supplements his words, as if confirming what was said with facial expressions and gestures, with some actions, giving it unambiguity.
Controversy . By chance or on purpose, a person contradicts what was said with a wink or a shake of the head.
Change of meaning . A lot of phrases can be interpreted in different ways depending on the context. Our body movements help explain, for example, that the phrase was used in a figurative sense.
Addition to the above . Sometimes we do not have enough words to express our emotions, or for some reason they should not be pronounced, then we add head turns, hand movements to the words to show how tired something is or someone is missing.
Strengthening the meaning . Various types of non-verbal communication help reinforce words of support with a smile, and intention with a fist on the table.
Main types of non-verbal communication
There are many ways to convey information without using speech. All of them are subdivided according to the types of means/methods chosen for contact. The features of each are detailed below.
Kinetic signals
The most common means of self-expression, since it allows you to supplement what has been said with posture, tilt of the head, contraction of the facial muscles, gestures, and in general any movements. Thanks to him, phrases get an emotional color and richness, a second or even a third meaning.
The application of actions strongly depends on the character, temperament and upbringing, as well as national characteristics. So, in some cultures, much becomes clear precisely due to facial expressions and body movements, in others this is not accepted.
Tactile signals
Similar to kinetics, but they require physical contact. They are transmitted by touch, which can be expressed in a handshake, clapping on the shoulder, hugs. It is this group of elements that helps determine the level of social and interpersonal interaction in each case.

Visual signals
Served with eyes that can be rounded, narrowed, directed in the right direction. The duration of visual contact, its frequency, tension or lightness also matters.
Spatial signals
The position of the body in space is also a type of non-verbal communication. In psychology, there is a whole section that helps to interpret the true meaning of what a person said, adjusted for his posture, gestures. The position, the distance between the interlocutors and in relation to the surrounding space, whether they sit sideways or straight, are important.
Spatial signals can change depending on the situation and be corrected on a conscious or intuitive level. So, a private conversation will be different from a public one, and a social one is accompanied by other non-verbal signals compared to a personal one.
Peri- or paraverbal communication
The most difficult group to interpret, since it includes everything related to speech, namely: intonation, speed, rhythm, modality, the presence and duration of pauses, their frequency. At the same time, signals are always interpreted individually, without having, as such, a basis for generalization.
The reason lies in the fact that, for example, communication in raised tones in one person can mean an extreme degree of excitement, while in another it can only be a consequence of habit, professional deformation. Hesitations and pauses arise both because of the internal state and as a result of external factors.

Appearance
In some cases, the setting and how the interlocutor is dressed play a role. For example, carelessness or emphasized accuracy can say a lot about his own character or attitude towards his opponent and influence the dialogue. This is not always taken into account, but sometimes such details make it possible to understand what is not said out loud.
Features of the interpretation of non-verbal signals
There are statistics according to which about 70% of information a person receives through decoding non-verbal signals. This happens purposefully or intuitively, but constantly, so it is useful to be able to interpret them.
However, not everything can be recognized and correctly understood. In order to do this competently, it is necessary to distinguish between types of non-verbal communication and know their characteristics. This will help to divide the signals into groups and determine the smallest, but therefore more truthful, since they are less obvious and more difficult to control.
At the same time, you should not get carried away and look for a second meaning where there is none. It is necessary to take into account the nature of the interlocutor, the situation, the context and a number of factors in order to interpret the signs correctly, and not try to “read” the reactions caused by external circumstances.
Tips for developing non-verbal communication skills
The transmission of information through body signs is an important part of our lives. We broadcast our own mood and capture someone else’s. People who have known each other for a long time understand each other perfectly just due to the fact that they know the peculiarities of behavior and can immediately determine when a friend needs something.
The same applies to attempts to manipulate attentive interlocutors. Control and training of facial expressions, posture, position of the head, arms, legs (for example, at the mirror) help to present oneself in the desired image and not show the opponent too much.
How to understand what the customer is ready to buy?
In order to better understand body language, it is enough to train mindfulness. Knowing the types of non-verbal communication, examples for study can be found at every step. Details are manifested in involuntary movements, gaze, posture, pace of speech. By observing the interlocutor and detecting certain signals, one can understand his state and mood, attitude to the topic of conversation.
Details that indicate that a person is insincere should be especially taken into account. This may be due to the intention to withhold any information – intuitively or with a certain intent.
For example, if the interlocutor actively maintains a conversation, without looking into your eyes or going off topic, forced to smile, hunched over, this may mean that his thoughts are busy with something else or he is sad, but he does not want to excite you.
At the same time, it is important to perceive the whole image as a whole, since separate gestures are uninformative. The meaning of reading body language is precisely in the ability to draw relationships between individual signals.
If you focus on the fact that the interlocutor crossed his legs during the conversation, and think that he is thus closing himself off from something, you can lose sight of the direct gaze, relaxed posture and calm intonations. Thus, he most likely showed his fatigue after walking, or did so for another reason.
Much can be said about the feelings we experience in response to certain behavior. Often they are also food for thought, as they are the results of intuitive perception, which, as you know, works faster than we have time to think. For example, the contradictory feeling that the interlocutor is having fun, although he speaks absolutely seriously, may turn out to be true, he is simply in control of himself.
The process of learning non-verbal signals and interpreting them will eventually become perceived as an interesting and exciting game.

Things to do
Camps
Midtown West
It doesn’t matter what subject your kid wants to study: FasTracKids has it. The STE(A)M adventure camp includes science, technology, engineering, art, and math. The downside of summer vacation is that kids will lose one to three months of reading and math skills. The motivation behind the FasTracKids camp is way to ensure that campers will retain the information they learned during school by attending one of the summer enrichment camps. Plus, it’s a blast (maybe even more fun than school!). Ages 2-14.

Yuzhnouralskaya Residence of Father Frost! New Year’s adventures of heroes! 2020 – 2021! Thank you for the wonderful New Year’s mood, the plot. Your heroes are smart!
The staff of the Pravoberezhny Center for Children’s Creativity of the city of Magnitogorsk
I come to the Ural Dawns camp every year. For the 3rd time I got to change “Next Level” (January 2021). I really like to dance, but I’m not good at it and I’m embarrassed to go to dance clubs in the city. But when I come to the Ural Dawns, my skills improve every year thanks to choreographers and Ilya Kozhanov, I find true friends here and support from teachers and counselors. Sometimes I am sad to leave this camp, but I know for sure that I will come here again.
Antimonov Dmitry, 8th detachment
I really liked the new program “Accelerator of Leaders” at the Uralskiye Dawns (January 2-8, 2021). It was interesting, I learned a lot and in general I was very comfortable in the classroom. It was not like standard lessons, there were no lessons familiar to us. We talked with teachers from Chelyabinsk State University and thanks to an informal approach, we learned much more than if it were in a standard form. I really liked the prizes. It was unexpected to win a gaming computer mouse. and happy for all the winners! Excellent living conditions – comfortable, warm and very convenient! I will definitely come to the Ural Dawns for a specialized leadership program.
Ivanshin Maxim, 3rd detachment
The game “RACE OF HEROES” in the pre-school “Ural Dawns” for the most active and friendly classes!
Friendly teams of MSML and MOU secondary school No. 65 had a wonderful time at the Ural Dawns preschool educational center in the weekend tour program on October 17, 2020.
For the guys there was a fast and exciting “Race of Heroes”. It included a quest, and team building, and a rope track, and the search for a secret dispatch, and the game “Capture the Banner”. At the end, each hero winner received a sweet prize. Additionally, as an order – beautiful weather, watching a movie, a disco and an evening fire!
Tatyana Grigorieva, Deputy Director for VR MGML
Varied, delicious food, a rich program of events, a friendly atmosphere, the attention of teachers and doctors made the children’s vacation unforgettable. Thank you all very much.

They talk about us
Dear organizers! I am so grateful to you all for the happiness of my children 🙂 The son returned and incessantly tells how cool and funny and interesting you are, etc. I need to sign up for next year right now! :))) What amazes me most about this is that you somehow manage to maintain this level of delight for the 4th year already (if we count from the first trip of my eldest daughter). May you continue to be well! Well, happiness and joy to you! Everywhere and in everything.
My time with you was pleasant and warm. I was glad to be in the circle of intellectual and educated people and I will be glad to come again. I really liked the flexibility and openness of the organizers, as well as the combination of different interests in the preparation of the program. I lacked some clarity in organization and structure, but this did not spoil the overall impression of the time spent. Thanks a lot!
Adi keeps talking about Marabou. It was not an easy journey. Overcoming long distances in the literal and figurative sense. Ascent to your own Olympus. Acquisition of new girlfriends. And her childhood friends remained the most devoted throughout the wonderful shift! Hooray 🙂 Thank you “Marab”!
Four days flew by very quickly, full of communication with great people, very different, but surprisingly harmoniously united by a passion for delicious conversations, delicious food and wine, able to find good topics for conversation without tension in relation to each other. At the same time, the owners of the chateau incredibly harmoniously fit communication, the program into the life of Le Sallay, into the special atmosphere of the old castle.
Many thanks to everyone! Danya and Margosha are delighted with their counselors Tasia and Valera and teachers. They began to get bored an hour after leaving the camp and they demand that they come to the same shift next year. “The coolest teacher” (c) Airat [Bagautdinov] taught so much that it became difficult for children to walk down the street, they stop everywhere, study arches and columns. And “Russian mathematics is much more interesting than American mathematics.”

Website
The INNOCAMP children’s IT camp is an all-Russian educational camp in the field of information technology for children aged 10-17 years old.
The camp is held on the site of the Innopolis Lyceum with 5 meals a day and round-the-clock security. 100-120 children from 30 regions of Russia and 5 countries of the world come to the shift.
A distinctive feature of the INNOCAMP children’s camp from other IT camps is that children who have proven themselves in training get the opportunity to do an internship in a Russian IT company.
In the first half of the day, children are engaged in one of the educational areas:
Development of mobile applications in Java and App Inventor
Development of computer games in C# and Scratch
Development of web applications in Python and programming in Minecraft
Design and engineering of mobile interfaces
Internet Marketing
IT development management
Children can choose both the first and the second level of classes: beginners study in the group for beginners, more experienced ones – in the group for continuing. In the classroom, children are distributed in selected areas and are engaged in groups of different ages, which allows them to develop communication and cooperation skills with older or younger children.
After lunch and quiet time comes active time. These can be trips to Kazan and Sviyazhsk, paintball, sports days, Sabantuy, trap shooting, quest, photocross, swimming pool. After dinner, it’s time for evening activities: rope courses, quizzes, discos.
In the evening before lights out, a “team candle” is a summing up of the day and plans for tomorrow.
The children are grouped according to age. Each squad is assigned 2 leaders.

Active Leadership Academy
Empower Your Child To
Fulfill Their Dreams
At Active Leadership Academy, we help children create their own path to success by developing the real world skills and character traits that matter most.
Real World Skills
Tailored Learning
Growing Character
Is Your Child’s Education Setting Them Up For Success?
Young people need to learn the right things to help them fulfill their dreams. At Active Leadership Academy, our mission is to empower ages 5-13 students to live meaningful lives by providing an environment where they discover their unique strengths, learn real-world skills, and grow in good character. Children get one shot at their education, so they need to learn what matters most.
3 Ways Learning Is Different
It’s Student Centered
We empower kids to own their learning. No homework here. Instead, we help students set goals, manage their time, and work at their own pace on core subjects, while engaging in hands-on projects in science, art, and technology. This is authentic learning, not focused on passing tests or memorizing facts.
Focused On The Real World
We believe students learn by doing. Whether it’s launching a startup business, playing an instrument, or programming a robot in their summer apprenceship, our students are building real world skills every day, paving the way for them to succeed in the future.
Guided, Not Taught
Learning should reflect the unique personality and interests of the learner. Instead of boring lectures, our Guides lead small groups, helping students set goals and discover their own learning path. With small groups, caring adults, and lots of freedom, kids are empowered to learn.
Why We Started A School
We always hoped our kids’ education would set them up for their life’s journey equipping them with real-world skills and good values.
Our goal was for them to have a learning experience that was inspiring and relevant. We hoped they’d be fully equipped with the real-world skills and good character they’d need to pursue a meaningful life.
We don’t see that happening in the traditional school model.
We believe there is a better way to do school.
That’s why we started Active Leadership Academy for our own children in 2020.
Our dream was to create an environment where meaningful skills are taught through real-world scenarios. Where good character gets rewarded, and where developing a problem-solving mindset is the goal instead of an afterthought. Where children are taught how to think, not what to think.
After decades of teaching discipline, respect, and confidence through our martial arts schools, after-school sports, leadership, and summer camp programs; this was a natural extension in our skillset of changing lives.
We’ve partnered with Acton Academy, a leading micro-school model, and are proud to bring this unique school to our community.
If you want to see our school in action, please book a tour. We look forward to meeting you!

What We Focus On
It’s About People
The quality of your relationships determines the quality of your life. So we focus on inspiring students to develop real friendships, a sense of personal accountability, and standing strong in their convictions even as you respect others around you.
Character Is Destiny
Character really matters. The right skillset combined with character is a recipe for long-term success. Skills without character are a recipe for disaster. That’s why we believe in developing meaningful skills and character.
Solve Big Problems
Don’t think small. There are countless big problems in the world, and we need people of vision and courage willing to tackle them. We encourage big dreams and big vision and teach the skills to accomplish those dreams.
Get Back Up
Be gritty. Everybody fails sometimes, but the determined person who gets back up and tries again (and again) is the person who succeeds in their ambitions.
It’s OK to fall. Get back up and try again.
We Have What It Takes
We’re better together. We appreciate the perspective of others and realize that we are stronger as a team and community. We teach students to lead by listening and loving our neighbors so that now and forever, they can work together with the person beside them.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Numbers
More than 150 study programs allow you to create an optimal individual learning path.
Whether your 3 year old is in full or part-time preschool, home schooled, or simply hanging out at home with grandma, there are so many learning opportunities at this age. Three year olds are like little sponges, picking up every bit of information about the world around them.
They love learning all the ways that their mind and body can do new things and jump at every opportunity to try something new.
Three Year Olds Can Still Learn Through Play
Although your child is transitioning from toddler to preschooler, they can still develop and practice new skills from structured and unstructured play. A lot of what they learn, you won’t even realize that you’re teaching them!
However, once your child is 3 years old, they can begin to learn from more structured activities based on appropriate concepts that are able to be learned and mastered at this age.
Does My 3 Year Old Need Preschool?
I found preschool to be so beneficial for my daughter at this age. The socialization is one of the biggest benefits of a preschool program.
They’ll be exposed to so many new opportunities that may not be available at home like different toys and learning materials, daily structure and routines, learning to respect their teachers, various educational activities, much more.
I don’t believe that preschool at 3 years old is absolutely necessary and your child will be fine without it. However, I would enroll a 4 year old in some sort of program to get them prepared for Kindergarten.
Some schools or daycares offer full day or half day preschool and you can choose whether your child goes every day or a few times a week.

What You Can Teach Your Three Year Old
If you’re not in the education field, you may be unsure of simple ways to teach your three year old or ways to incorporate new learning into everyday activities.
Below are a bunch of things that you can help your 3-year-old learn and understand. Practice and exposure is the best way to develop new skills with your child so try and make every opportunity a learning opportunity you can.
This list is for children in the 3 year old range up to 4. Not exclusively once they turn three.
Also, always remember that every child develops at their own pace so don’t worry too much if your child doesn’t have all of these skills yet. This isn’t a list of what they should know at this point, but rather a guide to help you understand what they are capable of learning at this age.
1. New Vocabulary
Your 3-year-old will probably be speaking in full sentences or at least long 4-5 word phrases by now. Three year olds should have at least 250-500 words in their vocabulary as well.
Although there are way too many words to give you a full list, here are some of the common words, phrases, and concepts that your three year old should be able to say and understand:
Body parts, Animal sounds and names, Friends/Family Names (and their own first, middle, last), Vehicles, Household objects (food, utensils, furniture, clothing, etc)
Colors and Shapes
Directionwords (below, above, next to, on top, underneath, etc. )
Days of the week, Months of the year, Seasons, Weather (sunny, rainy, cloudy, windy, snowy, hot, cold, etc.)
If your 3-year-old isn’t talking much at this point or is not trying to speak in full sentences, mention it to your pediatrician. Here are more tips to get your child to talk here.
2. Conversational Speech
Your 3 year old should be able to ask and answer simple questions and tell simple stories or anecdotes. They’ll probably be asking a lot of WHY questions as they are curious to learn all about the world around them.
Be sure to answer them with the correct responses and not just ignore their requests for information. Every question is an opportunity to teach your child and you don’t want them to miss out on those experiences.
It’s also important to make corrections in their grammar. When they were 2, some of the things that they said wrong sounded pretty cute. However, now that they’re 3, you don’t want them to get into bad habits of the way they speak.
Whether they’re pronouncing a world wrong, using the wrong tense, pronoun, or grammar, the only way they will learn the right way is if you correct them. So let them know the right way to say the word or sentence and have them repeat it back to make sure that they understand.
In order to get your child to initiate conversation or answer your questions, you can:
Ask them about their favorite characters/shows/books/toys. What easier way to get a kid to talk than to get them talking about their favorite tv show or super hero?
Ask them about their day, ie. what did you eat for lunch? What did you play with in the bath tub?
Ask them for their opinions
Tell them to ask you about the above mentioned things
If they still tend to give you one-word answers, ask them more questions to get them to elaborate. The more you ask. the more responses you will get. In turn this will help them to realize that they need to add more detail in their responses.
3. Reading books
At 3, your child should understand the concept of “reading” a book. They won’t actually be reading the words, but they should know how to grab a book, hold it the right way, and flip through the page independently.
They should be able to get a good understanding about what is happening in the book by looking at the pictures. They should even recognize that there are letters and words on the page that mean something, but won’t know exactly what they say or mean.
Read to your child everyday to instill their interest in reading. When you are reading to them:
Use your finger to follow the words on the page so they start to associate the letters with what you’re saying
Read word-for-word what the text says on the page instead of making up words or describing what the pictures look like
Ask them questions about what they see on the pages
Your 3 year old may even be able to answer some inferential (why) questions (although this is a tougher skill), but it can’t hurt to try and ask them some of the questions. These are questions that the book doesn’t actually give the answer to, but the child has to think about their own answer or reason. For example, Why is the girl sad in this story? Why shouldn’t the boy have crossed the street? Why did the dog jump over the bone?
Reading doesn’t have to begin and end with books; labels on cereal boxes, words on toys, printed words on street signs, text on the television, or signs at stores are some examples where you can point out words and letters.

4. Promote Independence
Your three-year-old should be doing many things on their own now so be sure to give them these opportunities to learn, understand, and make mistakes (within limits, of course).
Of course they may not have perfected every skill yet, but the only way a child will learn is by doing it themselves. You can give them a hand completing the task once they’ve finished.
They should be increasing their independence in areas like:
Dressing: choosing their own clothes, dressing for the weather (warm items or cool items), taking on/off a shirt, pants, underpants/pull-up, shoes, and socks, and learning the right way to put on items (backwards, forwards), and that shoes are on the right feet.
Self-feeding: using utensils without spills, choosing their own meals and snacks, opening containers, drinking from an open cup with some supervision, and why it’s important to eat healthy. I love these utensils as my 3 year old graduated from her “baby utensils” to wanting to be just like mom and dad- these look like our silverware but are a perfect size for preschoolers.
Brushing teeth and hair: Teach them how to brush correctly on their own (back and forth, top and bottom), putting toothpaste on (with help), and why it’s important to keep our teeth clean. My 3 year old LOVES using an electric toothbrush like this one, especially the ones with their favorite characters.
Cleaning up: wiping up messes, putting toys away, bringing dishes, cups, & utensils to the sink when done, throwing away their garbage, using handheld vacuum to clean, and putting away toys when completing activity
Hygeine: Blowing their nose, washing their hands, using a washcloth to wash themselves in the tub. Make washing hands and standing at the sink much easier by using stools and sink faucet extenders.
Transitions: Getting in and out of the car on their own, going up and down the stairs, ending one activity and moving to the next without complaining, turning on/off lights when entering/leaving the room
Be sure to model and show your childhood to do these skills the right way so that they don’t keep practicing something the wrong way.
5. Pretend Play
Using their imagination opens up a world of fun and play for your 3 year old. This skill typically comes naturally as they copy and imitate what they see in the real world, in books, or on tv.
They will use a combination of imagination and reality to copy the things they see daily, like these:
Cooking in a play kitchen with pots and pans
Hosting a tea party for their dolls and stuffed animals
Feeding, burping, and changing a baby doll with play spoons, bottles, and diapers
Talking on the phone with a play cell phone
Playing doctor with a doctor or nurses kit
Going shopping with a shopping cart and fake food
Driving a car
Sweeping, mopping, and vacuuming the floor
Dressing up as their favorite princess, super hero, or character
6. Drawing
At 3 years old, your child should have moved passed scribbling and be able to make intentional marks on the paper. They should be able to draw a:
straight line down
straight line across
circle
cross ( + )
other shapes such as a square or triangle come later, but they can still attempt these, but may need help or the angles won’t be perfect
Image credit: The Happy Handwriter, used with permission.
You can also guide them into making drawings using those elements (lines and circles), for example to draw a sun, a person (stick figure), or a flower. Of course, these drawings won’t be perfect, but they’re gaining insight as to how to make their marks on the paper look like something real.
Imitation is the best way to have your child learn to draw at this age, meaning that you draw one line and have them watch and repeat the same thing. This as opposed to copying (where you just show them the picture and expect them to figure out how to draw it).
7. Coloring and Painting
At age 3, your child can start learning how to color a picture correctly. You can guide them by showing them how to:
Stay within the lines of a shape, border, or object
Finish coloring each section without leaving a ton of white spots
Use correct colors for certain objects, ie. coloring a strawberry red and a horse brown, instead of just picking any color that they choose
Use different colors for different sections of a picture, ie. Coloring a beach scene with blue for the water, yellow for the sun, green for the palm tree, etc. instead of jut coloring the whole thing one color
Be sure that they are holding their crayon with the correct grasp at all times. I highly suggest these finger crayons for the young ones. They are perfect for little hands and promote a good grasp when holding the crayons.
If your child likes markers, but you don’t trust them being alone in a room with them, these Crayola Mess-Free Coloring Sheets are my absolute favorites!
The markers come out clear if they are used on any other surface besides the paper. On these special sheets, they’ll turn a color so your toddler sees the masterpiece that they are creating. They have so many characters available so I’m sure you can find a pack that your child will love.
8. Tracing
Tracing is a great visual motor skill (hand-eye coordination). You can teach your 3 year old to trace lines and letters by:
Having them use their finger first to trace the line on the paper
Tracing straight lines first and then working toward shapes, zig zags, and curved lines
Making sure that they know to stay on the line the best that they can
Tracing letters in preparation for writing
9.
Cutting
Cutting is a skill that 3 year olds can begin practicing. They may still have a difficult time, but here are some tips to get your preschooler cutting:
Be sure to use child safety scissors so they can’t hurt themselves.
Teach them how to hold the scissor correctly with their thumb toward the ceiling on both the cutting hand and helper hand
Position the paper in front of them while they are cutting instead of holding it off to the side or way up high.
Make sure that their arms, shoulders, and elbows are down and relaxed as they cut right in front of them. As they’re concentrating, children tend to hike up their elbows and cut up high.
Once they are able to make small snips on the paper by just opening and closing the scissors, teach them how to cut on a straight line
Use sturdier paper like construction paper to make holding and stabilizing the paper easier on them.
10. Numbers and Counting
Your 3 year old may be able to count up to 20 (with some errors at times) from memory and maybe even up to 30 with more practice. They can also work on recognizing and identifying numbers and counting objects.
You can practice counting with so many different, everyday objects:
count each step while you’re walking up the stairs
count the number of blueberries on their dinner plate
count the number of toys in their toy bin
Numbers are everywhere so be sure that they are counting whenever they can.
The concept of one-to-one correspondence (one object is one number) should be emerging now. Just show them how to point to each object as they count it and correct them if they start saying 2 numbers as they count one object or skip over objects when counting.
11. Letters and Sounds for Beginning to Read
Your child may already know many of the letters of the alphabet. At this age, they should probably be able to recite the ABC’s from memory (with some errors and help as needed).
Now you can work on recognizing letters, as well as the sounds they make. To make letter learning easier, try these tips to teach your 3 year old:
Look at both uppercase and lowercase letters when learning. The lowers case letters are the ones that they will see more often when they read or see words.
Point out letters to them everywhere: on cereal boxes, on street signs, on banners, and on snack bags
When talking about a letter, always tell them the sound that it makes and a word that has this letter as its starter. For example M: say M says mmm for mom. Always have them repeat you to etch it into their memory.
Use different sensory modalities to trace, write, or copy their letters. For example, writing them in sand, placing stickers inside the written letter, tracing the letter written in puffy paint with your finger, erasing the letters from a dry erase board, matching upper and lower case letters, etc. Here are some more fun sensory activities for letter learning.
Sing songs that help them to remember the letters
Use puzzles with letters for letter matching
These name puzzles from Bloom Owl are a great way to get your child learning the letters of their name. They’ll love playing with the puzzle as they start to recognize the letters they see all the time.
By far my favorite resource for having your child learning letters and letter sounds is the Leap Frog shows on Netflix. They include Letter Factory, Phonics Farm, and more. If you have Netflix you can access these shows! My 20 month old was reciting all of the letter sounds because he loves this show so much!
Once your child has a good memory of most letters and their sounds, you can teach them how to put them together to form short words. At 3 years old, a child may be able to start reading 2 or 3 letter words. Teach them how to use those sounds to read short words from the -at, -et, -it families, such as mat, rat, bat, get, set, let, sit, fit, kit, etc.

12. Building
Building helps to improve your child’s hand-eye coordination and spatial awareness. They’ll be able to use their imagination and creativity to create masterpieces and then knock them all down when they’re done.
This Melissa & Doug Alphabet block set is great to stack and Bristle Blocks are also perfect for stacking, putting together, and taking apart at this age. My 3 year old is also obsessed with Magnetic Tiles– it’s the one toy that just never gets old!
Have them use blocks to encourage imaginative play and see what they can come up with. Building blocks let them problem solve and investigate the world around them.
13. Puzzles
Puzzles are a great activity for fine and visual motor skills (hand-eye coordination). Having to fit a piece into it’s correct spot by turning and manipulating it is great for visual-spatial awareness.
Your 3 year old should have moved past inset puzzles and can do more complicated interlocking puzzles. Start them out with small interlocking puzzles like these or these, which only have 6-9 pieces per puzzle.
14. Physical Activity, Sports, and Getting Outside
Three-year-olds are known to be pretty wild so you probably won’t need much coaxing to get them active. However, make sure they’re getting plenty of physical activity to learn new gross motor skills. These include:
Jumping and running
Climb up and down playground equipment or a jungle gym
Start learning how to ride a balance bike or a bike with training wheels
Throwing/catching/kicking a ball
Hop or stand on one foot for a short time
Walk backwards
The best way to get them active is to give them lots of outdoor time. Take them to playgrounds to climb on the equipment as they offer so many opportunities for enriching gross motor skills. Take them for a walk and point out all the sights you see.
Your child can also start playing cooperative sports with peers and follow directions by watching someone do a movement. Activities like gymnastics, dance, soccer, swimming lessons, and tee ball are all great organized activities to practice all of the above skills.
15. Music, Dance, and Rhythm
Children love rhythm and music so get them singing, dancing, and exploring their bodies with music. Put on music for them to dance to, sing along to their favorite songs with a microphone, or make their own music with toy instruments like maracas, xylophone, tamborine, etc.
You can also make musical ‘instruments’ with so many household objects, like shaking pill bottles, banging wooden spoons, or filling plastic Easter eggs or water bottles with uncooked beans or rice.
Do the Hokey Pokey to get them moving and learning body parts. Imitating movements that they see you doing is a great way to develop body and spatial awareness, as well.
Singing songs and doing dances are also a great way for your preschooler to learn and memorize new words and concepts like the days of the week song, months of the year song, head shoulders knees and toes, finger family song, etc. They’ll know their days of the week s quickly if you just put a tune to it!
16. Potty Training
Around 3, many children will be fully capable of using the toilet. If you haven’t started yet, give it a try! Your child may do better than you think.
If they’re already potty trained, make sure that they are fully independent with pulling their pants and underwear up and down, wiping themselves both back and front, and washing their hands afterward.
Be sure to wait until they’re ready and don’t force it on them. Here are some great tips on potty training your child here.
17. Sense of Time
Of course your three year old will not be able to tell time, however you can still teach them a basic sense of time, including:
Understanding morning, afternoon, and night. They should understand the concept of when they wake up it’s morning, lunch time is the afternoon, and before bedtime is night. They can also understand this better by seeing outside when it’s light or dark.
Recognizing the numbers on a digital clock. If they can identify numbers, they should be able to see the first number and say it’s 7 o clock. With my daughter, we tell her that 7 o clock is bedtime so when she sees 7 on the digital clock, she knows it’s time to go to bed.
Knowing when they have 1, 5, or 10 more minutes left. They still won’t have a true sense of how long these increments of time are, but you can try to make them aware that 1 minute is quick, compared to 10 minutes or 20 minutes.
Days of the week. They may be able to get a sense of what day it is today, what it will be tomorrow, and what it was yesterday
Before they fully have a sense of time, try setting an audio or visual timer when you need to show them when time is up. For example, when you say clean up in 5 more minutes, set a timer for 5 minutes to ring when it’s time.
We love the Time to Wake clocks for my little ones. They let them know when it’s time to call for mom or get out of bed by simply turning a different color when it’s almost time to get up or when they should leave their room.
This is a great visual way for them to “see” and understand time.
18. Safety
Of course, safety is a crucial lesson to teach your child. This is the age where they will probably have no fear or understanding of dangerous situations. The following practices need to be taught to your 3 year old as they may not just come naturally:
not running away in public
not running out into a parking lot
stranger danger
staying close to mom or dad
being cautious when crossing streets
holding hands when in public or outside
sun safety: applying sunscreen, wearing hats
being careful of hot items: kitchen appliances, flames, etc.
Speaking of safety for your little ones, the Whystle App is a great resource for all parents to have that tracks all safety information that’s important to your family. This includes product recalls for toys, food, and more that could promote dangers into your home. Download this app free on your phone and then there’s a free trial for the subscription so you never miss an important safety warning.
19. Manners and Respect for Others
Understanding how to properly treat others is a valuable trait to instill in your child. This goes for respecting both adults and other children. It’s important to teach your children how to use polite words and actions to show manners.
At this age, they are still testing their boundaries and exploring new ways of getting what they want. Instill rules for respecting others even through times of frustration.
Saying excuse me when needing someone to move or get their attention
Patiently waiting for a parent to finish talking to another parent before chiming in
Saying please and thank you shows consideration and appreciation
Making eye contact when speaking to others
Apologizing when you do something wrong
Ask questions to others about how their day is or how they are feeling
Compliment others on their clothes, hair, or something they did
Share their toys or items that belong to them
No pushing, hitting, biting, or pulling hair to hurt others in any way
20.
Staying Healthy: Good Hygiene and Eating Well
Teaching your 3 year old to practice good hygiene and healthy eating is great to start young. Build-in their hygiene routine throughout the day and they will become accustomed to this regimen. Eating healthy foods early on to set them off for a healthy diet for the rest of their life. These include:
eating fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and proteins. Avoid: processed foods, unhealthy snacks, and sweets
washing hands after meals and potty
brushing teeth morning and night
bathing daily or every other day
keeping their clothes and body clean while they eat or play
covering their mouth when they sneeze or cough
blowing their nose into a tissue
wiping their own privates after going potty
Complying with:
brushing and combing hair
cutting fingernails and toenails
cleaning inside ears with a child safety q-tip

Acting Appropriately in Public and Understanding “No”
Preschoolers are very ego-centric (only care about themselves). It’s totally normal for them to only think about how things will affect them. This almost always leads to inappropriate behaviors as they learn what behaviors get them what they want.
Don’t always give in to every cry and teach them that sometimes they can’t get everything that they want. Don’t always give them the cookie that they’re begging for or the new toy at the store. If they must get the object that they desire, make them earn it.
Teach your 3-year-old how to act appropriately to avoid tantrums in public. Try putting rules in place when you are out so they know what is expected of them. Always have a way to redirect or distract them when you see a tantrum starting (using something else they are interested in). Lastly, just avoid situations that could set them off.

22.
Empathy and Compassion
From a young age, you want to fill your child with compassion and empathy for others. Teach them about emotions and to be conscious of other people’s feelings.
If they see someone crying, ask what’s wrong.
If they see someone alone, go over and play with them.
If they see someone that looks different than them, treat them equally.
If they hurt someone, apologize and make it better
It’s never too early to talk to your children about race, ethnicity, disabilities, and recognizing differences between others.
23. Structure and a Routine
Your 3 year old probably already has some routine in place throughout their day. However, you want to ensure that they are consistently doing what is asked of them so that they could even do it on their own if needed.
The more structure that your child has in their day, the more they will start to understand time and a daily schedule.
I love using a routine or responsibility chart (like the blue/green one on the right) so my toddler can have a visual cue of everything that is expected of her. Use one with pictures instead of just words, (like this Mickey Mouse chart), so your toddler actually understands what it’s for.
Here are some examples of day-to-day routines that you can create a specific pattern for:
Bedtime: Brush teeth, go potty, wash hands, put pajamas on, read a story, go to sleep
Morning: Go potty, wash hands, brush teeth, get dressed, eat breakfast
Before naptime
Pre-dinner wind-down time
Cleaning time
Getting ready for school/daycare: Packing their backpack, putting their jackets and shoes on, getting themselves into the car

Staying on Task
A 3 year old’s attention span is still quite short, although it should have increased a lot since toddlerhood. It’s only reasonable to ask them to focus on a task for around 6-10 minutes at this age.
However, it is important for them to be aware that once they start a task they should finish it to completion. My daughter loves to grab a puzzle and put in 3 pieces and walk away or sit down and read 2 pages and then walk away.
The goal of teaching your child to stay on task is to complete what they start. Here are some tips:
While playing with your child, make sure that they complete the entire activity, ie. puzzle or read through the whole book, before they get up and run around.
If they’re coloring or building a tower, keep them engaged in that one activity for as long as possible before you let them move on to the next.
During mealtimes make sure they remain seated and finish their meal before getting up and playing.
Make sure they clean up one activity before moving on to the next
25. Be a Helper and Doing “Chores”
Little kids LOVE to help grown-ups. They want to do everything that you’re doing because they’re starting to gain this growing confidence and independence. Invite them to perform tasks that they may not be able to do independently, but that they can help you with.
Get the mail
Take the trash out
Refill the toilet paper roll dispenser
Help with cooking: mixing, adding ingredients
Carrying in bags or groceries
Fill the dog bowl
Entertain a younger sibling
Cleaning up their toys
Cleaning up after themselves: throwing their dishes in the sink garbage in the trash can
Wiping down the table or floor when they make messes
26. Technology
Technology or screen time should be limited for preschoolers to no more than 2 hours a day, but it is still important for your child to learn how to use these devices. The fine motor skill of swiping, clicking, and sliding to nagivate through tablets and smart phones are something that your 3 year old can easily learn.
Ipad educational games like ABC Mouse are great to sharpen a lot of the educational skills listen above, as well as practice using a tablet or smart phone. There’s a great curriculum based on age and developmental level that teaches them so many new skills.
My 3 year old loves ABC Mouse because of the wide variety of games and fun. She’s learning how to trace letters, numbers, make new sounds and words, etc.
Leapfrog Laptop is also a fun interactive computer that little words can learn letters and typing on.
27. Sorting and Comparing
Sorting and comparing is a skill that you can teach your 3 year old. Make them aware of how objects are the same and different. Some of the criteria that they can use to sort is by:
color
size (big, medium, small)
shape
categories (fruits vs. vegetables, farm animals vs. ocean animals)
pattern (stripes, polka dots, solids)
This sorting pie from Learning Resources is a great way to practice sorting and categorizing objects by the features mentioned above.
28. Follow Multi-Step Directions
Your 3 year old should now have progressed from only understanding and following 1-step directions (i.e. put your shoes on) to following 2-3 step directions (i.e. get your shoes from the closet, put them on, and go wait by the car).
Practice with 2 steps at first to make sure they can focus on the direction given, process it, and carry it out. Then you can try adding in another step to see if they can still follow.
At times, your little one may be distracted to get all the distractions, and that’s ok since their attention span is still short, but as they approach 4, they should really be listening to you intently and follow your commands.
29. Rhyming Words and Opposites
You can teach your 3 year old some rhyming and opposite words at this age, as well. Short words that sound alike (ie. rat, bat and sky, tie) should be easy for them to catch on to.
Opposite words, for example in-out, up-down, should also be learned at this age as they use these words all the time. They should already know the words, but now understanding the meaning and how they are opposites of each other will really get their mind stimulated and understanding these concepts.
30. Sight Words
The first sight word that your preschooler may be able to spell and recognize is their name. Teach them how to spell their name and how to recognize it when it’s written. Those name puzzles shown above are great for practicing this!
Although your child isn’t expected to know sight words until later on, it can’t hurt to expose them to it now. Sight words are words that may not sound the wya they are spelled so they will have to just memorize the way the word looks.
These are typically commonly used words, for example, like, the, and my. As you read to your child, you will probably come across these words several times.
Point out the words to them and tell them what they say. If you tend to read the same books over and over, they should quickly pick up on what a word looks like and say it as you read. Not only soul you point these words out in their favorite book, but wherever you see it whether it’s a cereal box or sign.
Flash cards are also great for learning sight words, however they are a bit young for this.
31. Days of the week/Months of the Year/Seasons
By going over the calendar daily or singing songs, your 3 year old can learn the days of the week and months of the year pretty quickly. They still may not get a true sense of how these time periods work, but they can memorize a list of these items.
Most of these skills listed above can be accomplished at some point while a child is between three and four, but every child develops at their own pace.
This article is not intended to skew your mind into thinking that your child MUST know these concepts. However, if you are looking for activities to do with your child, ways to engage their mind, or knowledge to teach them, these are some great tips. Your child is NOT behind if they can’t adequately do all of these things, but if you are concerned, please speak to your pediatrician.
Have fun teaching your three-year-old and enjoy watching them blossom this year. They’ll be growing and developing before your eyes so don’t blink! Here are some more great activity ideas to do with your little one.

Educational Activities for 3 Year Olds
Looking for things to do with your child? Check out these learning and educational activities for 3 year olds for at home or outdoors.
Like many moms, I wanted to engage with my 3 year old at home, providing him with activities that were not only fun, but educational as well. I was that mom who collected leaves and counted the steps on stairs we took.
At the same time, I also understood that educational activities can get… over the top. We don’t need to stress out about “teaching,” so much as inspiring our kids’ curiosity and desire to learn.
You see, so many of us can feel like we’re not doing enough educational activities. That we’re somehow “behind” what other moms are doing with their kids. We assume that every moment spent should be a learning opportunity, or that we need to provide better toys or experiences.
Educational activities for 3 year olds
But thankfully, it doesn’t take much to teach and engage with your child. These educational activities for 3 year olds can keep her entertained while learning the fundamentals along the way. They’re geared for even the shortest attention span, or for kids who easily tire of doing the same thing for long stretches.
They’re also perfect to give your caregiver ideas to do with her during the day while you’re at work. You don’t need expensive toys or classes galore to make sure she’s off to a great start. These easy, doable, and even practical activities are more than enough to teach and engage:
1. Activities that promote fine motor skills
One of the best activities to practice with your 3 year old is his fine motor skills. Developing dexterity and muscles in his hands will set the foundation to hold a pencil, cut with scissors, and button his clothes.
Writing with pencils and crayons aren’t the only ways to develop fine motor skills, either. Take a look at these activities that will also do the trick:
Threading string through items. Start with large pieces, like dry rigatoni pasta and shoelaces, before moving onto smaller items like beads and thread.
Pipe cleaners and a colander. Sticking the ends of pipe cleaners into a colander was one of the activities that intrigued my 3 year old for a long stretch. Turn a metal colander (one with circle holes) upside down. Then, have your child stick one end of a pipe cleaner into one hole, and the other into another hole. See what creations and patterns he can make!
Glue sticks. Make a collage of pieces of paper and glue sticks. First, tear paper into small pieces—start off with 2″ pieces and gradually cut them smaller. Then, show him how to glue one side and stick it onto a larger piece of paper.
Check out these Montessori fine motor activities for more ideas.
2. Writing letters and numbers
Disclosure: This article contains affiliate links, which means I will earn a commission—at no extra cost to you—if you make a purchase.
Even if your 3 year old can’t read or write just yet, you can begin practicing writing letters and numbers.
Incorporate playful and unconventional ways to write, like tracing her finger on sand, or making letters with play dough. Teach her the alphabet by finding the letters in your environment. You can always make learning letters and numbers fun—no pressure needed!
Take a look at these ideas:
Go down the alphabet. Pick one letter and talk about it throughout the day. You might color a page of the letter, describe the different sounds it makes, or find things in the room that start with that letter.
Use a dry erase board. Peel-away “markers” leave less mess than traditional markers, and allow her to write and erase as often as she’d like.
Write letters and numbers with chalk. Whether on the sidewalk or a chalkboard, writing with chalk is another fun way to practice holding writing tools.
Combine magnetic letters and a cookie sheet. Have a set of magnetic letters and numbers? Combine them to make words on a cookie sheet! The cookie sheet makes for a fantastic portable “board” she can place on her lap or take with her.
Free printables: Help her trace and recognize the letters and numbers with sample worksheets from my digital workbook, Letters and Numbers! Join my newsletter and grab them below—at no cost to you:
3. Daily tasks and lessons
A simple way to incorporate learning activities for 3 year olds is to use your daily tasks as “lessons.” So much of what your child sees is an opportunity to learn without needing to do things too differently in your day.
A few ideas you can do:
Counting. Count how many times you push her on the swing, the steps you take up the staircase, or the peas on her plate.
Measuring. Invite her into the kitchen as you cook. Say out loud how many cups, tablespoons, or pounds you need with each ingredient.
Sorting. Doing laundry? Sort the piles into types of clothes (and encourage her to find pairs of socks). Playing with blocks? Sort them into piles of the same color.
4. Educational games
Games are a fantastic way to practice social skills, have fun, and learn new things. Board games, simple card games, puzzles, and “conversation starters” work well. Here are a few ideas:
Puzzles. Don’t be afraid to challenge her with bigger puzzle pieces. Even if she doesn’t finish a puzzle in one sitting, encourage her to keep trying to finish it at another time.
Card games. Memory games (finding and pairing similar cards) and matching games are simple to do just about anywhere. Find “kid-friendly” card games like these instead of a standard deck so she has an easier time identifying the cards.
Board games. Many board games are now available for your 3 year old, but keep an eye out for the age recommendations. Some are still geared toward older kids, so stick to those suitable for the younger crowd.
Get more activities for 3 year olds.
5. Open-ended play
Don’t think that letting your child play is “wasted” time to learn—the opposite is true, in fact. Kids learn best through play, especially open-ended play where they’re not bound by preset limitations. This allows them to think creatively and come up with unique solutions.
Take a look at these ideas to nurture open-ended play:
Blocks. The simpler the blocks, the better. Allow your child to create whatever he’d like from the blocks in front of him.
Dress up and pretend. Set aside a box filled with costumes and dress-up clothes. These can be “career” outfits like a firefighter outfit, or even your knickknacks like old necklaces and hats. A pretend kitchen was also a big hit in our house, as my kids were able to come up with pretty amazing stories and games as they “cooked.”
Art supplies. Don’t feel like you have to come up with cute crafts—a box of art supplies is all your 3 year old needs to get creative. Crayons, pencils, play dough, and finger paint can make for a fantastic experience crafting and creating. You can also introduce labels by pointing out the shapes she makes from play dough or the colors of the paint.
Get more tips on how to encourage open-ended play.
6. Field trips
Feeling cooped up at home with your 3 year old? Plan a few “field trips” to local spots! Not only will you fill your time together, you’ll also expose her to new activities and lessons while you’re out. Nearly any outing will be a learning experience, but look for places catered to kids. A few ideas include:
Child-friendly museums. Some museums are geared to children (My favorite is Moxi in Santa Barbara). Others are for general audiences with a children’s area. Hands-on exhibits will make the experience fun for both you and your child.
Library story time and activities. Many libraries host these events for toddlers and preschoolers. From playing with building toys to making magnetic slime to creating your own jewelry, libraries are fantastic places to take her.
7. Activities that encourage curiosity
Take advantage of your 3 year old’s natural curiosity with just about everything. Encourage her questions, no matter how silly (or “annoying”). Expand her world through books and resources, and show her just how many amazing creatures she can discover.
Here are a few ideas to nurture her curiosity:
Explore your local outdoors. Step outside to your backyard, garden, or local park and look for bugs and creatures she can observe. Use a kids’ magnifying glass like this one to talk about different leaves and flowers. Let her help you garden by filling pots with soil and pulling weeds from the ground.
Show her a map or globe. My kids love looking at a map of the world, even from a young age. Your child can compare countries, point out where she lives, and learn about the different continents and oceans.
Read nonfiction books. Don’t forget to include nonfiction books in your regular reading. Books about the weather, how plants grow, or outer space are fantastic ways to explore the world from the comfort of books.
Check out these preschool outdoor activities for summer.
Best practices for educational activities for 3 year olds
Now that you have a few ideas on what to do with your 3 year old, take a look at these best practices for helpful tips:
Stick to a weekly schedule. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed with all the things you “have” to do. Keep it simple by focusing on a few topics a week. For instance, one week you can focus on circles, the color red, and the letter “A.” The next week, you can focus on squares, the color green, and the letter “B.” Get more tips on how to create a 3 year old daily schedule.
Keep the activities short and frequent. It’s common for kids to lose interest quickly—don’t feel bad if yours can’t sit still for long periods. Instead, keep them short—no longer than 30 minutes at a time. Or intertwine these conversations and activities frequently throughout the day.
Follow your child’s interests. Kids will learn and pursue their interests. Nurture what’s already there rather than forcing something you think your child should do. If she loves farms, find children’s books about farm animals, visit a local farm, and sing songs about the sounds animals make.
Rotate toys and materials regularly to reignite her imagination. Old toys will feel new once again after they’ve been out of sight for a while.
Conclusion
Finding educational activities for 3 year olds has just gotten easier, especially with these ideas. Practice fine motor skills with threading and glue sticks. No need for a formal curriculum when you turn daily tasks into lessons. Play board games and solve puzzles, and practice writing letters and numbers.
Encourage open-ended play with toys and games, and go on “field trips” like child-friendly museums and library activities. And finally, be curious with your child, exploring your local environment like curious scientists.
As you can see, you’re nowhere near “behind” when it comes to helping your 3 year old learn—even collecting leaves and counting steps can do the trick.

What Should a 3 Year Old Child Know Academically?
Home Preschooler Education What Should a 3 Year Old Child Know Academically?
Many parents feel that the 3-year-old stage of their baby is ‘just about there’ to start with learning alphabets, words and objects. Although it’s a good time to start training them for preschool now, the foundation for their learning can be laid down before they reach 3. So what are the milestones to look for at the age of 3 and what can you do when they seem delayed?
Getting in pre-schools means having a good set of cognitive skills in children and the foundation for it is laid down during their younger years. Many parents wonder what a 3-year-old should know from the education point of view and here are the 3 important things they need to be aware of:
1. Reading Skill
Children’s ability to read doesn’t need to develop only when they start school. Even as infants, they are building the skills needed that will help them to read soon enough. The time between 3 to 5 years is a critical phase for children to learn to start reading. By 3, although they won’t be able to read full sentences, they will definitely begin to show the signs of readiness. You will notice that they can recognise some commonly used letters or are even be able to learn simple three-letter-words.
Most preschoolers by the age of 3 will know the names of their favourite books. They can hold a book properly and turn pages, recall phrases and frequently used words from their favourite books and even pretend to read books. They can also differentiate between a random squiggle, an alphabet or number. Some preschoolers can also recognise or write numbers and letters, identify letters that begin with certain words or make up silly phrases.
The best way to instil an interest in reading is to read to your child every day regardless of how much it is that they understand. Reading opens the window to the realm of literacy that your child would soon enter while also building a bond with you during the time you spend reading to them. Reading doesn’t have to begin and end with books; labels on cereal boxes, words on toys will do as well. As they go from words to forming their first sentences, you will notice them reaching their milestones. You will also see them recognising printed words on signs, streets, common store signs and others.
A text-rich environment is a key to laying down the groundwork for success in reading. Along with books, you can also talk about words, letters or numbers on packages, signs, clothing, etc. Make a game of guessing letters and numbers when out on the streets or supermarkets. Flashcards are also good toys to introduce at this point to help learn alphabets and pictures.
2. Vocabulary
You can expect a growth spurt in the language skills of your child between the ages of 2 and 3. At the beginning of this period, most kids can say 50 or more words and follow simple instructions. They can combine two or three words to form a sentence such as ‘mommy get in the car’ or ‘Me go too’. Kids are also able to understand one step instructions such as ‘put sock on foot’ or two-step instructions such as ‘pick up the ball and bring it to mommy’.
By the age of 3, the vocabulary of kids can contain as much as 200-300 words, and you will begin to hear longer sentences that are more structured and grammatical. For example, instead of saying ‘I go’, your child might say ‘I’m going’. You can also expect to hear past tense such as ‘walked’ or ‘jumped’. They can understand better and speak more clearly; you will be able to understand at least 75% of what your child says.
As they mature beyond the age of 3, they should be able to use language freely and solve problems and learn new concepts. They can engage in a simple question-answer session or tell stories. A good example is a story about their visit to the supermarket. They may be able to put together a simple story and say something similar to ‘I go shop’. When you respond with ‘And what did you do at the shop?’, they would reply ‘Buy candies’. They should also be able to tell simple made-up stories, although they would leave out a lot of details.
Children’s vocabulary when they start kindergarten is an important predictor of academic success throughout their school. Therefore it is important to work on building their vocabulary, language and communication skills. To start with, introduce them to new words during their day-to-day activities. At the grocery store, you can explain to them that bread comes from a bakery and show them a bakery on the way home. Children often have an obsession with things, be it cars, birds or a stray cat. The next time your child is chatting about their obsession, throw in a few words that they have never heard before into the discussion.
3. Identifying Different Objects
3-year-old children can identify many objects at this point in their development and even identify their various uses. As their cognitive skills expand, they learn with much vigour and stuff themselves with as much new information as possible. Objects that they encounter on a regular basis are often of the greatest interest. It could be your car and the sound it makes when you honk, the bouncing of balls, kitchen appliances and the rumbling of the grinder. They can associate that the function of a vacuum is to suck up dust and bits of paper that they throw in its way.
Even before they can identify individual objects, they pay attention to the colours and shapes of objects. As shapes and colours are the most noticeable attributes of the world around us, children pick these up faster than anything else. Therefore, children need to know the basics of colours and shapes before they can read, write or do the math. For example, when children learn to discern the differences or similarities between shapes and colours, they are using the same skills needed to understand the differences between letters and numbers. Therefore, when children are asked to sort objects, they often use the most noticeable attributes such as colour, shape and size to categorise objects.
To help them develop their ability to discern colours and objects, offer them paint swatches of different shapes to explore. Let them sort the shapes based on colours as an activity or give them glue sticks to make monochromatic collages of different colours. Shapes can be introduced in fun ways such as giving them square, triangle or circularly shaped cookies to eat. Play with shape sorting games or use household objects in sorting games.
As they grow older, they start developing an interest in science and math as many available games revolve around exploration and sorting/counting mathematically. Along with learning the numerals, they would love counting how many toys they have or how many crackers they can eat.
Most children reach the expected milestones on time or faster when they are supplemented with everyday activities and games designed to help them learn.

Your 3- to 4-Year-Old | Patient Education
Children this age have entered the wonderful world of language and imagination that allows them to explore their world through words, play and fantasy. They will be developing their view of themselves, their sexuality, friendships and family relationships, and will be learning how to adjust their behavior so that it is appropriate for different settings. It is very important for parents to help their 3- to 4-year-olds learn right from wrong, and to help them control their actions even when their feelings seem out of control.
Nutrition
At this age, children thrive on routine and will probably want to eat the same foods over and over. You would probably enjoy reading the book Bread and Jam for Frances together, and your child will likely recognize him or herself in the story.
Mealtimes should be fun and relaxing. Remember that it is your responsibility to buy and prepare the food and offer it to your child; it is your child’s responsibility to choose whether to eat it. You can accommodate your child’s wishes for having a favorite dish at every meal, but provide other nutritional foods as well. Some helpful hints:
Try to offer a fruit or vegetable at each meal. Some children enjoy vegetables if they can dip them into a dressing, or will eat broccoli covered with melted cheese.
Limit milk to 16 ounces a day.
Limit juice to 4 ounces a day. There are many juices sold in kid-friendly packaging, but your child should not drink more than one a day. On trips, bring water in a small container instead of juice — it’s cheaper and much healthier for your child.
Limit high-fat, high-calorie snack foods. Don’t buy chips, sodas or cookies — if you don’t buy them, they won’t be available.
Let your child see you making healthy food choices. Your child wants to copy you.
Prepare food with your child. Kids are much more likely to try food they’ve helped prepare. Three-year-olds can be taught to wash fruits and vegetables, grate cheese, chop some softer foods, stir, mix and measure.
Experiment with new foods and recipes. Get creative with food preparation — drawing faces on sandwiches or pancakes, for instance, or cutting food into fancy shapes.
Children will often eat better and try new foods when around other children, such as in daycare.
Set an example with your table manners, but do not nag your child about his or her manners.
Don’t use desserts as a bribe or reward.
Don’t beg your child to eat or try new foods, and don’t get into arguments about what your child eats.
Mealtimes should be fun family time. Try to eat together as a family at least once a day and use this time to talk about the day’s events and your thoughts, interests and values.
Dental Care
Your child should have visited the dentist by now. Pediatric dentists make the visits quite fun for children, so please don’t worry — your fears can affect your child’s experience. Your pediatrician can give you a referral to a pediatric dentist if necessary. Make sure to brush your child’s teeth after every meal, especially before bedtime.
Habits such as pacifiers and thumb sucking can begin to cause malocclusion of teeth at this age. Encouraging your child to limit these behaviors to a certain time and place — in the bedroom and at night, for example — will help your child discontinue the habit.
Toileting
About 75 percent of children have daytime control of their urine and bowel movements by this age, while 25 percent are still not interested in using the toilet. Most children still have accidents and wet the bed at night.
If your child resists using the toilet, remember that this is one area of life in which kids have control. You can’t force your child to use the toilet, and it is usually easiest to stop trying. For more information on toileting, please talk with your child’s pediatrician.
Toilet-trained children may occasionally have accidents, which can make them very upset. Reassure your child that you understand, and that it happened because his or her body is still learning and growing.
Sexuality
Preschool-age children become interested in their bodily functions, including toileting and sexuality. This is the age when children often “play doctor” with other children to see what kids of the opposite sex look like.
As parents, it’s important to understand that your child is learning and exploring his or her environment. Your preschooler is beginning to understand that there are differences between people, including differences in height, weight, race and sex. As children realize that people are different, they learn that they are unique individuals. Ideally, parents feel comfortable with their own sexuality and can talk with their children in a relaxed manner about their bodies and their privacy.
You may need to set limits on your child’s sexual exploration. Explain that private areas — the areas covered by bathing suits — are personal and should not be touched by others. It’s helpful to also explain the exceptions to the rule, such as when the child comes to the doctor’s office for an examination.
Children may masturbate as they discover that touching their body can be pleasurable. Calmly explain that this behavior is private and should be limited to places that are private, such as the child’s bedroom.
Safety
Your child can begin learning safety skills. Preschool-age children can:
Learn their first and last names.
Begin learning their address and phone number. If your child can memorize the alphabet and songs, your child can memorize these important facts.
Learn who to go to for help if they get lost. For instance, people in uniforms, people with name badges, people working at cash registers or mothers with babies.
Use a helmet if riding a tricycle.
Always be buckled into a car seat when riding in the car.
If you are concerned that you or your child are not safe at home, please speak with your pediatrician or call WOMAN, Inc, an agency serving domestic violence survivors in the Bay Area, at (415) 864-4722.
Fears
Three-year-olds often develop new fears. While the 2-year-old is often afraid of loud noises, strangers, separation from parents and the dark, 3-year-olds are often afraid of things they imagine — things that “might” happen. Your child may develop a fear of imaginary creatures or monsters, or of being physically hurt by storms, other people or accidents. Nightmares are often the child’s way of working through fears, and fears can also be demonstrated through play.
Children want to know their parents are there to protect them. Parents should acknowledge their children’s fear and reassure them that they will be there to keep the child safe. For example, “I see you are afraid of the thunderstorm. Loud noises can be frightening, but we are safe in our home.” During periods when your child is experiencing increased fears, expect some regression in behavior, where your child acts younger than normal.
It’s fine to read fairy tales or stories that allow children to work through their fears, provided that the story ends with the child being safe and protected by the adults in the story. However, children should not be exposed to images that are frightening. This means that television and video games should be limited. Be careful of watching violent news stories when your child is in the room.
Language
Your child will rapidly expand his or her vocabulary. As this occurs, kids may have periods of stuttering. If this happens with your child, call the pediatrician for more information.
Help your child use language to describe his or her emotions — excitement, anger and fears. If children can use words to describe emotions, they may be able to better control their behavior.
Imagination and Humor
Preschool-age children often talk and play with imaginary friends. Your child’s imaginary friend can experience all the bad and good things in your child’s life and help work out conflicts. Please respect your child’s privacy regarding imaginary friends; asking questions may limit kids’ ability to use their imagination.
Children who watch more than one hour of television a day demonstrate less creativity and imagination. Children who repeatedly watch videos will limit their play to simply repeating what they’ve seen in the video instead of making up new characters with new actions.
At this age, children also develop a sense of humor as well as the ability to empathize with other people.
Reading
One of the best things you can do for your children is to read with them. Reading introduces kids to many new ideas, new facts about their world and new ways to behave. They also learn fundamental concepts that are important to learning how to read, such as turning pages, reading from left to right and the idea that letters make words. They also begin to learn the sounds that the letters make. Children whose parents read to them every day will perform much better in school.
Don’t push your child to learn to read, but if your child is interested, teach the sounds that the letters make. When first learning to read, the short vowel sounds are learned before other vowel sounds. For instance, “a” as in apple, “e” as in elephant, “i” as in Indian, “o” as in octopus and “u” as in umbrella. Your child can then learn to read three-letter words like hot, cat, dog and pot.
Preschool
Parents often feel pressured to enroll their children in preschool. Children this age do not need an academic environment, but they do need the opportunity to play with other children. Children learn through play. They learn how to interact with other children, they use their imagination to develop games and rules, and they learn how to negotiate and problem solve. Preschoolers also need to use their big muscles by running, climbing, throwing balls and jumping. If you are looking for a preschool, look for one that allows children plenty of time for these kinds of activities.
Chores
Chores are a wonderful way for kids to learn about their world. By helping set the table or sort laundry, they can learn skills they will need later on. By picking up toys, they learn they are responsible for helping keep their homes clean and tidy. Saying “I need your help” teaches your child that he or she is an important person in the family. Children need to feel needed, and participating in household chores helps them feel they are important and necessary people in the family.
“Why?”
At this stage, children begin asking difficult questions. Often, their questions may embarrass their parents: “Why is that lady fat?” or “Why is he in a wheelchair?” are common questions. Be prepared to answer questions like this by thinking ahead of time about your values. You can respond that people are created differently and each person is unique, for instance. However, expect your child to pursue the matter with more questions that may shatter your comfort level.
Children may begin to ask questions about life and death. This is a good time for parents to think about their own beliefs and values and how to respond to such questions. Some parents turn to religious institutions to support them as they teach their children.

Three-year-olds are very active and keep parents and other family members on their toes all the time. Interesting activities for three-year-olds can help parents channelize their energy in the right direction. While their concentration span increases with age, they may be more restless to satiate their curiosity to explore new things. No number of toys or games can hold a three-year-old’s interest for very long. So to keep them engaged in a particular activity for more than just a few minutes, it is inevitable for parents and caregivers to come up with meaningful activities that would cater to their preferences and interests. Read this post where we bring some amusing and educational indoor as well as outdoor activities that keep your three-year-old engaged.
35+ Activities For Three-Year-Olds
Arts And Crafts To Improve Creativity
Art and craft activities are said to improve children’s cognitive abilities as they enable them to use multiple areas of the brain. Using both their hands and fingers also encourages the development of muscles in those areas and could improve their fine motor skills.
Here are a few art and craft activities for three-year-old kids.
1. Fabric painting
For a three-year-old child, fabric painting could be something basic to teach them a few painting techniques, shapes, and colors.
You will need
Old fabric or T-shirts, fabric colors, stencils or chart papers, small sponges
How to do
Get ready-made stencils or take a thick chart paper and make some shapes like stars, hearts, drops, etc., in it to make your stencil.
Tape the stencil on the fabric and ask your kids to fill it with color using the sponge.
Once they are done, remove the tape and stencil to find surprisingly perfect shapes.
Repeat the process in different parts of the fabric to get a beautifully painted fabric.

2. Drawing or Painting
You cannot ask a three-year to draw a masterpiece. Instead, you can help them paint or draw something with easily available tools.
You will need
A paper or a drawing book, water colors or acrylic paints or crayons, pencil, fork, brushes, or sponges.
How to do
Get them an appealing coloring book and ask them to fill the images in it with colors as in the reference image.
You can also draw some simple geometric figures like squares, circles, or triangles and ask them to color them.

3. Pot Painting
Get a plain terracotta or a clay pot from your garden and let your kids add color to it. Be open-ended so that your kids use their creativity to make it beautiful in their way, even if it is not perfect.
You will need
A small empty clay pot, bright colored acrylic paints, a wax paper, and a newspaper.
How to do
Spread the newspaper on the floor, followed by the wax paper. Keep the clay pot upside down on the wax paper.
Squeeze acrylic paints around the pot’s edge so that it drips down and colors the sides of the pot. Take one color at a time and do it one after the other.
Don’t let the paints dry in between. Once the pot is completely covered, let it dry for at least a day.
You can also keep the canvas clear with a base coat of white or black and ask your kids to paint whatever they wish.

4. Stamp Painting
This is one of the easiest ways to make your kid paint different patterns without much effort. You can use a variety of objects to create beautiful patterns with this art form.
This depends on the kind of object you choose. Let’s take a big potato, cut it into half, and with the help of a cookie cutter or a knife, make some shapes out of it. Remove the excess portion, and your stamp is ready.
Hand it over to your little one along with some paints.
Simply dip the stamp or paint the stamp with color and press it over a drawing paper or a fabric.
Once they stamp at different places, you can simply join them with branches, add leaves and pot to make a flower pot or bouquet.
You can also use other objects like onions, ladyfingers, flowers, and leaves to make natural patterns.

5. Cup Painting
You can paint the cups and also make different creatures using painted paper cups and everyday items.
You will need
White paper cups, paints, brushes or sponges, chart papers.
How to do
Give a base coat to the cups with the color of the creature. Let’s say you’re making a chicken. Paint the cup yellow.
Draw its eyes with black and white, and nose red.
Cut the red chart paper to make its crown and feet and paste them on the top and bottom of the cup, respectively.
Similarly, your kids can create different characters like Peppa pig, angry bird, frog, etc.
6. Paper Plate Crafts
Just like paper cup crafts, the paper plate painting is quite interesting to do. You can make paper plate fans, paper plate turtles, and paper plate sunshine.
You will need
Disposable paper plates, paints, brushes, color charts, ice cream sticks, etc.
How to do
Take a paper plate, flip it towards its bottom, and color it with your favorite color or multiple colors.
Take the colored paper and cut it into six shapes: four feet, one head, and a tail.
On the head, draw the turtle’s eyes, nose, and mouth.
Stick all six shapes to the turtle, and that’s it, your paper plate turtle is ready.
You can also make a ladybug in the same way.

7. Bird Feeders
A nature craft idea for three-year-olds is bird feeders of different varieties, shapes, and sizes. A well-made one is sure to attract birds to your garden.
You will need
Empty tissue paper rolls, birdseed, twine thread, vegetable shortening, popsicle sticks, and a plate.
How to do
Using the popsicle stick, ask your kid to spread the vegetable shortening on the empty tissue roll. This makes the paper roll water-resistant and helps it to hold the feed in place.
Take the bird feed on a plate and roll the tissue roll over the feed. Make sure the feed gets stuck to the roll completely.
Pass the twine through the tissue roll and tie it at one end, and your handmade bird feeder is ready.
Hang the feeder to any tree in your garden.
You can also use pine cones or cardboard to make different feeders.

Sensory Developmental Activities
Sensory activities for kids stimulate their senses like touch, smell, taste, sight, hearing, balance, and movement. The benefits of sensory activities could include language development, development of fine motor skills, and problem-solving. Listed below are a variety of sensory development activities that would stimulate your child’s senses differently.
8. Playdough Crafts
Playdough is a popular activity that encourages creativity in children. But if your three-year-old has the habit of putting everything in the mouth, you need to exercise some caution. In such cases, you can opt for homemade edible playdough.
You will need
Colorful play dough, cookie cutters, play scissors, popsicle sticks, etc.
How to do
Ask your kids to use the play dough to make a simple ball, roll into a snake shape, flatten it with hands or a rolling pin.

The regular scavenger hunt is a clue-based activity. But for the tiny tots, we modify the game a little to make it simple yet fun.
You will need
White papers, pens, baskets, etc.
How to do
Before starting the activity, prepare a list of items that your kids are familiar with in the house.
Once the kids are ready, read out one item from the list and get them to bring it and place it in a box. Once they find one, call out the next item, and the next until they find all the treasure.
25. Dance Party
If you’re running short of time and ideas, one instant thing you can plan is a dance party.
You will need

Teaching good habits in childhood helps the kids become better adults. Yoga is one such activity that promotes overall well-being for all age groups.
You will need
A yoga mat, some reference yoga videos.
How to do
If you’re not aware of safe yoga for kids, search some asanas that can be done by the kids. Play them on the TV and ask your kids to follow them.
Try to do along with them so that they find the activity interesting. You can make it part of their daily routine so that they become habituated to it.
Montessori Activities
Montessori activities are designed to encourage children to learn through play. These activities are designed to promote independent thinking, fine motor skills, critical analysis right from childhood. As they’re tailored around a child’s areas of interest, they help the kids to learn quickly and easily. Listed below are some fun activities inspired by Montessori techniques.
28. Toy Cleaning
Simple but an interesting activity for kids as it involves water. It also teaches them some day to day activities that we do at home.

Ask your toddlers to collect toys from all the rooms, sort them, and separate all the washable toys.
Fill both the containers with water, maybe two-inches deep.
Add dish wash soap to one container and make some water bubbles.
Ask your kids to wash each toy at a time in the soap-filled container and then rinse it in plain water.
Then keep them on a towel spread on the floor. Once all the toys are washed, they can wipe them with the towel.

32. Writing on a Chalkboard
Every preschooler needs to get a good grip on pencils, chalks, or markers to develop writing skills. To avoid wasting paper, you can set up a chalkboard and offer them a clean canvas.
You will need
A blackboard, chalk pieces, board eraser, etc.
How to do
Set up the blackboard in your kid’s playing corner and give them chalk to scribble on it however they wish. If they are not comfortable standing and writing, you can place the board on the floor for a few days and let them practice.

33. Moving Puzzle Game
This activity gives a new twist to puzzles, making it even more helpful for further skill development.
You will need
Any puzzle game (preferably the one your kid is familiar with)
How to do
Unlike in a regular puzzle game, keep the pieces of the puzzle in a different room. Ask your kid to solve the puzzle in the play area by bringing one puzzle piece at a time. This not only keeps them moving but also encourages them to remember which puzzle piece is required.

34. Window Cleaning
Another popular Montessori activity is window cleaning. While spraying water on the windows is a thrilling sensory activity for kids, cleaning the windows improves their gross motor skills.
You will need
An empty spray bottle, white vinegar, water, a piece of cloth, or a sponge.
How to do
Just mix vinegar and water in the required proportion and fill the mixture in the spray bottle. Hand over the bottle and the cleaning material to the child, show them how to do it, and let them imitate you.

Matching colorful things is one of the best Montessori activities to improve visual coordination in your kids.
You will need
Multiple pairs of socks.

When they talk about “readiness for school”, they mean not individual skills and knowledge, but their specific set, in which all the main components are present.
It must be admitted that teaching can be effective only if the first grader has the necessary and sufficient qualities for learning.
School readiness consists of many components: 1. Physical readiness for school is determined by the child’s physical development and its compliance with age norms. 2. Psychological readiness for school implies a certain level of formation: general awareness and social orientation; knowledge and ideas about the world around; mental operations, actions and skills; arbitrary regulation of activity and behavior; cognitive activity; speech development.
3. Emotional maturity is the ability to regulate one’s behavior, including the ability to perform a task that is not very attractive for a sufficiently long time. 4. Social and communicative readiness for school consists of the child’s ability to build relationships in a peer group: to take a leading position, be able to work in a team and support a leader – and also be able to communicate with an adult interlocutor.
In addition, the child must want to go to school. And here we, adults, must be able to distinguish between the internal motivation of the child from the external one. A preschooler should go to school because he wants to know a lot, expects that it will be interesting there, and not because we will buy him a new designer or a walking robot for this. Taking into account the fact that a child often meets a psychologist for the first time only directly upon entering school, it is possible to offer a special diagnostic technique for parents who, with the help of simple observations and answers to questions, will be able to determine for themselves whether their child is ready for schooling. However, before talking directly about the diagnostic technique, it is necessary to say about certain rules.
1. All tasks must be offered in a relaxed atmosphere. It should be a game or some daily activity. 2. Don’t tell your child that you are going to test him. He will close. Or it will be too stressful. 3. This is just an observation, so it can be extended in time. Do not rush him or yourself.
Diagnostic method – a modified questionnaire developed by the American psychologist J. Chapey 1. Evaluation of the child’s basic experience • Did the child have to accompany you to the post office, to the savings bank, to the store? • Was the baby in the library? • Has the child ever been to a village, a zoo, or a museum? • Have you been able to regularly read or tell your baby stories? • Does the child show an increased interest in anything, does he have a hobby? 2. Assessment of physical development • Does the child hear well? • Does he see well? • Is he able to sit still for some time? • Does he have good motor coordination skills, such as being able to play ball, jump, walk down and up stairs? • Does the child look healthy, alert, rested? 3. Assessment of emotional development • Does the child appear to be cheerful (at home and among friends)? • Has the child formed an image of himself as a person who can do a lot? • Is it easy for the baby to switch over with changes in the usual daily routine, move on to solving a new task? • Is the child able to work independently, compete with other children? 4. Evaluation of speech development • Can the child name and designate the main ones around him
items? • Is it easy for the child to answer questions from adults? • Can the child explain what different things are used for: a brush, a vacuum cleaner, a refrigerator? • Can the child explain where the objects are: on the table, under the table? • Is the baby able to tell a story, describe any incident that happened to him? • Does the child pronounce words clearly? • Is the child’s speech correct in terms of grammar? 5. Assessment of communication skills • Does the child get involved in other children’s play? • Does he take turns when the situation calls for it? • Is the child able to listen to others without interrupting? • Is the child able to participate in a general conversation, play any scene in a home performance? 6. Assessment of cognitive development • Can the child identify similar and dissimilar forms. For example, find a picture that is not like the rest? • Can the child distinguish between letters and short words b/p, cat/year? • Is the child able to arrange (in a given sequence) a series of pictures? • Can the child independently, without outside help, put together a puzzle of fifteen elements? • Can the child rhyme words? • Can the child repeat a few words or numbers after an adult? • Is the child able to retell the story, retaining the main idea and sequence of actions? If all of your answers are yes, you can
congratulations. Your child is obviously ready for school and will pass all tests and interviews with ease. If your answers are twenty or more percent negative, then this is a serious reason to think: are you in a hurry to send your baby to school? Test for the psychological and social readiness of the child for school Instructions: I will read you a few sentences. If you agree, put a + on a piece of paper. 1. When I go to school, I will have many new friends. 2. I wonder what lessons I will have. 3. I think that I will invite my whole class to the birthday party. 4. I want the lesson to be longer than recess. 5. When I go to school, I will study well. 6. I wonder what the school offers for breakfast. 7. The best thing about school life is the holidays. 8. School seems to be much more interesting than kindergarten. 9. I really want to go to school, because. my friends also go to school. 10. If it were possible, I would have gone to school last year. Evaluation of the results: High level – if the child put at least 8 pluses Average level – from 4 to 8 pluses, the child wants to go to school, but she attracts him with her extracurricular aspects. If a greater number of + owls on the first 5 points, then the child dreams of new friends and games, but if on points from 6 to 10, the idea of the school is formed, the attitude is positive. Low level – from 0 to 3x pluses. The Reb has no idea about the school, does not strive for learning.

Decide who it will be: boy, girl, uncle, aunt.” Ideally, this should be a picture of a human figure, which has all the parts: ears, eyes, mouth, torso, neck, hands with fingers, legs, the lower torso is separated from the upper. The fewer details, the more primitive the drawing. Test “Repeat” Write on an unlined sheet of paper the phrase in written letters: “She was given tea.” The instruction may be as follows: “Look carefully how the letters are drawn here, try to write them in the same way.” The highest score can be given when you see the complete similarity of the letters and pattern. Of course, the letters may differ from the original, but not more than twice. And also the child must show that he saw a capital letter that will be higher than the rest. Circle test
Use a compass to draw a circle on the paper about 2.5 cm in diameter. Ask the child to trace it carefully without lifting his hand. If this task is completed successfully, then you will see an exact reproduction of the sample. Observe how gross mistakes are made in this work. If you see that a lot is given to a child with difficulty, and even more so, he has no desire, you should not force him. After all, he’s just not ready. Parent Quiz 1. Does your child want to go to school? 2. Does your child attract at school that he learns a lot there and it will be interesting to study there? 3. Can your child do any activity on their own that requires concentration for 30 minutes (for example, assembling a designer)? 4. Is it true that your child is not at all shy in the presence of strangers? 5. Does your child know how to make up stories from a picture no shorter than five sentences? 6. Can your child recite several poems by heart? 7. Can he change nouns by numbers? 8. Can your child read in syllables or, even better, in whole words? 9.Can your child count to 10 and back?
10. Can he solve simple subtraction or addition problems? 11. Is it true that your child has a firm hand? 12. Does he like to draw and color pictures? 13. Can your child use scissors and glue (for example, to make applications)? 14. Can he assemble a cut-out picture from five parts in one minute? 15. Does the child know the names of wild and domestic animals? 16. Can he generalize concepts (for example, call tomatoes, carrots, onions in one word “vegetables”)? 17. Does your child like to do things on his own – draw, assemble mosaics, etc.? 18. Can he understand and follow verbal instructions accurately? Possible test results depend on the number of affirmative answers to the test questions. 15-18 points – we can assume that the child is quite ready to go to school. You did not study with him in vain, and school difficulties, if they arise, will be easily overcome; 10-14 points – you are on the right track, the child has learned a lot, and the content of the questions to which you answered in the negative will tell you the points for further efforts; 9and less – read special literature, try to devote more time to activities with the child and pay special attention to what he does not know how.
—- Psychologists have established that a child’s mental and emotional readiness for school is: for a girl for 7-8 years; for a boy for 8-9 years. Of course, few people, given this important point, send
of their son to school at the age of 8-9. A priori, it is customary to send a child to school at the age of 6-7 years and not later – even earlier is better, but this is a delusion, no – better later. For this reason, boys lag far behind girls in learning and discipline. For this reason, it is not permissible to compare the performance of a boy with that of a girl. For this reason, the boy needs more attention, support and understanding from parents and teachers. Otherwise, the child will completely lose the desire to learn and learn new things. With social readiness, it is more difficult for those children who did not play with their mother in the yard sandbox, gathering all the kids around them into the game; did not attend the kindergarten or attended it, but only the preparatory graduation group, because children learn socialization from an early age (from the moment the child took his first independent steps), the sandbox in the yard and the kindergarten from the nursery or younger group are a wonderful school socialization before school.

Annotations to the work programs of disciplines (for each academic subject, course, discipline (module), practice, as part of the educational program)
The main goal of the program for the development of non-traditional drawing skills “Cheerful Pencil” is the formation of artistic culture among preschoolers as part of the spiritual, familiarization of pupils with the world of art, universal and national values through their own creativity and mastering the artistic experience of the past.
An important means of aesthetic education of children is visual activity. It allows you to express in your works ideas about the world, understanding it and attitude towards it. Therefore, the mastery of visual activity at preschool age is of great importance for the child: the child has the opportunity to independently create a drawing. This gives the child joy, creates a positive attitude, promotes the development of creativity. In the process of artistic activity, children develop aesthetic perceptions, figurative representations, imagination, fine motor skills. The development of fine motor skills is closely related to the development of speech and thinking of the child.
The main task of a teacher is the ability to interest children, to kindle their hearts, to develop their creative activity without imposing their own opinions and tastes. The teacher must awaken in every child faith in his creative ability, individuality, originality, faith that he came into this world to create goodness and beauty, to bring joy to people.

I absolutely love what I do and love all my children. I have received most of my children from word of mouth. I get many referrals from others and have excellent references. I have cared for many children who started at just a few months old, until they left to enter kindergarten.
Some of the things that I focus on are:
Alphabet/Numbers
Colors/Shapes
Singing
Blocks
Walking/Exploring
Arts/Crafts
Dance/Music
I believe that children crave constant stimulation from their environment and interactions with their caretaker, so that is my daily goal. I focus on their mental and physical ability to complete various tasks. I realize every child is at a different level, I build from their weaknesses and improve their strengths.
I have a large play area in the house with lots of toys and play structures; as well as outside in the yard.
I believe that open and honest communication between parent and caregiver is essential in our successful partnership….

Catonsville Cooperative Preschool
PreviousNext
Catonsville Co-op in the News
When the region shut down in March 2020, the Catonsville Cooperative Preschool kept connecting with students and their families thanks to Ms. Karen’s Virtual Circle Times.
Hairston, Kim. (2020, April 03). Catonsville preschool teacher maintains virtual contact with students. The Baltimore Sun.
What Makes Our Co-op Unique
Cooperative preschools are special because they allow parents to be actively involved in their child’s first school experience. Parents are able to participate in their child’s classroom monthly, become friends with the other parents who are interacting with their children, know exactly what their child is learning in the classroom, and have a say in everything that happens in the classroom and school. What makes our co-op unique is we have been teaching children through play for over 70 years. Which means we have generations of families returning to the Catonsville Cooperative Preschool to ensure that their children are able to have the same fantastic childhood Co-op experience.
Some of our favorite experiences include:
Our Creative Play area is full of manipulatives, costumes, physical challenges, and games that change every month according to the theme
Children can use real tools to make their own creations at our Workbench center
Each day children can make an art project based on the theme that day
The children help us plant our School Garden; then they observe the growth, pick the lettuce, and enjoy eating a salad they helped to grow
Parents become part of the larger Co-op Community through participation at school, our potluck, and social events
Throughout the year, classes attend field trips to the zoo, farm, Maryland Science Center, and more! Our PreKindergarten class even attends a live arts performance
We bring the world into our school with visitors like a yoga instructor and the dentist
In our PreKindergarten program, the class celebrates Kindness Fridays by reading books about kindness and learning about other cultures throughout the world
You! You get to take an active role in your child’s preschool education. Parents are encouraged to come in and lead a small lesson in their area of expertise – we’ve had a physical trainer, musicians, and even a pirate visit our class!

What Parents Are Saying
We LOVED our time at the Catonsville Co-op! Coming to the co-op gave me wonderful memories of the brief precious time during my daughter’s first school experience. I wasn’t quite ready to send her off and completely let go, and the co-op program offered the perfect solution. I loved every day that I was able to work in the classroom and participate with my daughter. Wonderful, wonderful experience!
Jessica R.
The dedication and personal attention provided from the teachers and parent helpers created a safe nurturing environment that helped our child become comfortable in a classroom setting. The curriculum was fantastic and included play and advocated creativity. We truly loved the Catonsville Co-op and hope other families get to enjoy this opportunity.
The Dunham Family
“I attended the Catonsville Cooperative for Kindergarten back in 1962. My daughter was able to walk in my footsteps and what that shows me is that it’s hard to improve on perfection.”
Dave A.
The Catonsville Co-op enabled my child to gently transition to a group educational setting, and establish neighborhood friendships that last to this day.
Siri S.
Catonsville Co-op was an amazing first school experience for both of my daughters. Creative play themes varied from post office to photography booth. Volunteering in the classroom was always fun. We made life long friends during our time there.
Ginger A.
We were brand new to Catonsville when our daughter began preschool at the co-op, and loved instantly being welcomed into a community of families who loved learning through experiential activities and play. The co-op was a great foundation for the creativity and learning our daughter continues to do to this day
Laura J.
The Catonsville Co-op is much more than a preschool! It’s a community where we could all share those amazing first few years of school, making great friends along the way. My oldest is still in a Girl Scout troop with her friends she made in the co-op 3’s class. I will always cherish the memories we made there together!
Karen S.
The Catonsville Coop was a fantastic experience for my family. Both of my children went through the program (the 2’s, 3’s and 4’s) and they have maintained these friendships to this very day (now ages 10 and 8). Not only did they make lasting friendships, but so did I! Being an involved parent in the school bonds you to the other parents that are working towards the same goal (creating an educational and nurturing environment for your child’s first school experience). I also believe the school is a great way to transition from home to Kindergarten – working in the classroom a few times a month can provide your child an extra sense of security as they explore new classmates and ideas! We still look through our preschool yearbooks and talk about our memories. I highly recommend it for anyone that wants to share in their child’s first school experience!
Beth P.
My daughter went to Catonsville Co-op for pre-school and prekindergarten a few years back. It was a wonderful experience. She got an early start socializing with other children to prepare her for school situations, and she learned a great deal while she was there. I feel that enrolling her there, instead of a regular daycare, has given her a head start academically. The school is very nice and the staff is wonderful. I highly recommend it to any parent that is looking for a great early start school for their child.
Candace C.
One of the things I liked best about the coop was the community that was formed since we worked together. Because of that, we knew all of the kids and parents and what the school day was like. It was a special time.

History
Mosque Islamic Society of Baltimore, including Masjid al-Haqq and Masjid al-Saffat, founded in 1947 and 1971, respectively, in which the first members of the society took part. [2]
The Islamic Society of Baltimore was founded in 1969 by three Muslim physicians, [1] one of whom was Mohamed Z. Awad, an Egyptian-born physician, Towson, Maryland. [3] [4] Awadh co-founded the society because of the desire of Muslims to “keep their religion for themselves and pass on their Islamic heritage to their children in the face of strong pressures towards assimilation”, according to Baltimore Sun in 1978 [3] The Society began with several families who met every Sunday at Shaffer Hall on the Homewood Campus of Johns Hopkins University to pray, discuss the scriptures, and study Arabic. [1] The organization was incorporated in Maryland on September 2, 1969. [5]
Attempts to raise funds for the construction of the mosque were made by the society as early as 1970 in the form of fundraising. bazaar. [6] Fundraising bazaars were also held in 1971 and 1972 on the campus of Johns Hopkins University. [7] [8] According to co-founder Mohamed Awad in 1978, the society consisted mainly of foreign-born Muslims from India, Pakistan and the Middle East. [3] By the end of the 1970s, the society served about a hundred families. [1]
By the end of the 1970s, the community had purchased many lots on Johnnycake Road. [1] where Masjid Al Rahma was built in 1982–83. [2] [9] The mosque was built with a capacity of about 180 people, but at that time there were about 300 people in it. Friday prayers. [10] In 1985, members of the society, mostly foreigners, numbered about 475 families. [11] In 1987 a gymnasium was built and a K-12 day school, Al-Rahmah School, opened with 27 students in the first year. [12] [10] The campus also includes a residential complex. [13] Ar-Rahma Quran Academy was opened in 1999-2000 by Qari Muhammad Zahid, [14] initially with one student. [2]
Following the September 11 attacks in 2001, the Islamist militant group Al Qaeda Islamic Society of Baltimore condemned the attacks. [15] On September 13, leaders of nine mosques in the Baltimore area gathered outside the mosque to discuss developments and ways to help the victims of the attacks. The police sent officers to monitor the mosque around the clock. [16] On September 23, the Society held an open day. [15] attended by Mayor of Baltimore and future Governor of Maryland Martin O’Malley. [17] According to the imam, there were no reports of discrimination or harassment in the mosque in the weeks following the attacks. Mohammed Adam El-Sheikh, [17] although General Secretary Abid Hussein claimed that the woman was shouting profanity in the mosque shortly after the attack. [16]
In 2003, El-Sheikh, who was the imam of the mosque from 1983-1989 and 1994-2003, left the mosque. [18]
In April and May 2015, the society received two threats from anonymous calls. [19] The first call was made on April 28 to the school building, in which the caller asked when the school was closing before reportedly saying, “It’s the perfect time to bomb the bus.” The second call came on May 5, when the caller threatened to “shed Muslim blood”. The Baltimore County Police Department does not believe that either of these two threats is credible, although in response to them they increased security in the community. [20]
Barack Obama’s visit

to religious minorities. They insisted that officials consider then-President Barack Obama to visit the mosque, preferably with former President George W. Bush, which has been requested for years. [21]
On January 28, 2016, mosque officials were informed of a possible visit by Barack Obama, [22] [1] and plans to visit the mosque were officially announced by the White House on January 30. [21] White House officials said its purpose is to “celebrate the contributions of Muslim Americans to our nation and reaffirm the importance of religious freedom to our way of life”, which is likely related to the fight against Islamophobia. [21] [23]
Barack Obama visited the mosque on February 3, 2016, marking his first presidential visit to a mosque in the United States. [24] [25] [26] He held a roundtable discussion with the leaders of the Muslim community [22] [27] and delivered a speech in which he rejected political rhetoric and violence directed against Muslims , and talked about the role that Islam has played in American history. [22]
Many ridiculed the visit, such as the American Muslim and the doctor. Zuhdi Yasser, who said: “As an American Muslim, I’m just being insulted, it’s a shame that this is one of the mosques – or a mosque – that [Obama] decided to visit,” during an interview on Fox and friends . Jasser described the mosque as radical, extreme, and not representative of contemporary Muslim Americans. [13] [19] [18]
2018–2020 Extension
March 2020 Construction
County officials have issued an order to remove temporary trailers in classrooms as there are too many of them on campus. About ten classes of the Al-Rahma school are held in trailers due to lack of space in the main building. The Society developed expansion plans from old proposed expansion schemes. The community received permission from the county to begin expansion, and a groundbreaking ceremony was held in October 2018. As part of the expansion, it is planned to add a library, more classrooms, larger prayer areas for major events, and bring the Ar-Rahm Quran Academy closer. to the main building. The cost is estimated at approximately $2 million and should be completed by August 2019.year, which coincides with the 50th anniversary of the society. [10] The Strong 50 campaign marked both the society’s 50th anniversary in 2019 and the expansion project. [28] The Society collected artifacts such as old photographs and documents from its past to be presented in a multimedia project for the Society’s anniversary. [2]

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Islamic Society of Baltimore canceled all prayers and events, broadcast programs and religious events from its YouTube channel to reach people. [29] [30] [31] Mosque officials formed a task force of doctors to recommend safety protocols. [32] During Ramadan, the Society distributed “Blessing Boxes”, boxes of flour, butter, rice and other household products to help Muslim families affected by COVID-19 break their fast. [33] A drive was also set up for families to get meals while social distancing. [34] Along with 49 other local organizations, the Islamic Society of Baltimore has received a grant of at least $3,000 from the Baltimore County COVID-19 Emergency Response Fund to promote public health. [35]
Controversy
Following the announcement of Barack Obama’s visit to the mosque in 2016, many conservative media accused the organization of having “historic” and “deep” ties to extremism or extremism. radical Islam including Fox News , Washington Times , Daily Caller , and Breitbart News . [18] Much of the conservative media focused on Mohammed Adam El-Sheikh, the mosque’s former longtime imam. [1]
Mohammed Adam El Sheikh
Although Mohammed Adam El Sheikh was Imam at the mosque in 2004, he said: Washington Post “If certain Muslims need to be cornered where they cannot defend themselves except through such means, and their local religious leaders have issued fatwas allowing it, then it becomes acceptable as an exceptional rule, but should not be taken as a principle. ” The comment caused controversy in several media outlets, [18] Such as Daily caller , [18] Fox News , [13] and Washington Times . [19] ThinkProgress , however, commented that these “right-wing media outlets omit the fact that the quote was a specific reference to an upsurge of violence between Israelis and Palestinians, not Americans”, and that the Sheikh immediately added that “the condemnation indiscriminate killing of civilians” is widespread. in his community.” [18]
El Sheikh is also the former imam of the Dar al-Hijra Islamic Center in Virginia. Anwar al-Awlaki, who is said to have been at the center of al-Qaeda’s terrorist planning, preached and delivered sermons at the mosque in 2001. [13] Despite claims by news outlets, El-Sheikh “never read these sermons himself,” as ThinkProgress notes . [18] The mosque was also served by Imam Mohammed al-Khanouti in the 1990s, who was “named as an innocent co-conspirator. 1993 World Trade Center bombing.” [19]
El-Sheikh was a member and “leading figure” of the Muslim Brotherhood in Sudan before moving to the US in 1978. [13] [19] However, as he told Washington Post he cut ties with the group in 1992. [36]
El Sheikh was also a co-founder of the American Muslim Society, a group controlled by the Muslim Brotherhood. [19] El Sheikh was also a regional director Islamic American Relief Agency, whose parent organization is cited by the US Department of the Treasury for liaising with al-Qaeda and the Taliban. [13] [19]
Other controversies
The Islamic Society of Baltimore is reportedly affiliated with the Islamic Society of North America, a Muslim organization “named as an innocent co-conspirator in a 2008 criminal prosecution in which several people were found guilty of transferring money to the Hamas terrorist group,” according to Washington Times . [19]
In 2011, Suleiman Anwar Bengarsa, a Muslim cleric, prison chaplain and imam, gave a two-week course on Islamic teachings on marriage at the Islamic Society of Baltimore. However, in the years leading up to 2016, he openly supported ISIS on Facebook, denounced US mosques as un-Islamic, said homosexual acts should be punishable by death, and criticized Muslims who were helping authorities investigate terrorism. According to an FBI affidavit filed in federal court, in June 2015 he provided $1,300 to Sebastian Gregerson in Detroit, who used it to expand his arsenal of firearms and grenades, although Bengarsa claimed it was for charity. Gregerson was arrested in July and charged with explosives. The FBI suspected the two men of conspiracy to commit terrorism. [37] [38]

From a clean slate chapter 1-9010 9002
Chapter 89
In mid-August we went to Hougomont without the kids, and did just about everything that was said that night by the pool. We didn’t bring any underwear with us, grabbed a few evening gowns for Marilyn, and spoiled ourselves as much as we could. We even went nude swimming with her, and then I used suntan lotion as a lubricant for anal sex on the beach. It was a cool change before returning home to the usual way.
When I say ordinary, I mean… ordinary! We enrolled Charlie in the local elementary school, District 5th Elementary School, which, despite its unimaginative name, turned out to be quite good. In addition, the most important thing for any school is whether parents want their children to succeed. I could send Charlie to the coolest school in the country, but if I don’t look after him myself, he’ll still fail. Neither me nor Marilyn could let our kids screw up.
We discussed enrolling our children in a parochial school, but I was against it. First, District 5 was a five-minute walk from us, right down Mount Carmel Road towards Uppercoe. And the church was in Parkton, on the corner between York and Middletown, about fifteen or twenty minutes from here. Secondly, I had already paid taxes on the maintenance of public schools, and even though I could in principle buy both of these schools for relatively little money, it seemed too wasteful.
Finally, I just have a prejudice against parochial schools. I did really well in mainstream schools on both attempts, and what the Catholic school did to the Lefleurs didn’t impress me at all. Or maybe, according to the remnants of faith that I still had, I considered myself a Lutheran, a Protestant to the marrow of my bones, and was more than skeptical about Catholicism and their teachings. Well, except for the Jesuits, who have a well-established reputation as scientists and have a couple of top-notch colleges. You can convert to another religion, but learn to think!
If there were any problems with District 5, we could always change our minds. In the meantime, it was much closer just to walk down the road. Charlie didn’t seem to care. You know those commercials where a kid clings to his parents in tears to avoid getting on the school bus? (Last year, Marilyn herself drove him to kindergarten). Forget! Charlie hopped out to the road, climbed the steps to the bus, and didn’t even look back! We went out to observe this important moment. And in the end, m and Marilyn just looked at each other and laughed:
– Wasn’t it supposed to be a very touching moment? Shouldn’t he, well, burst into tears, for example, and all that? I asked.
– That’s how he misses his mom and dad! she replied.
– It remains to wait until he starts asking to go to school on a motorcycle – Marilyn just rolled her eyes at this.
I stood still for a moment, watching the black GMC follow the bus. He followed him all the way from the garage, parked in the school parking lot, and then moved behind him to the house. The Fifth District was not enthusiastic about this, but I quickly resolved this by purchasing a new computer system.
I quickly kissed Marilyn goodbye and climbed into my car to go to work.
– I’ll be back at half past five or so.
Charlie started first grade when he was only five, just like me. In Maryland, the deadline was the end of the year, so if a child was six by December 31st, they were going to be five years old. Charlie was born in October, I was born in November, and Hamilton was born in December, so we all went to school at five. The twins, being born in the summer, will go to school at six. It wasn’t a problem for Charlie, though. While Hamilton and I were very small children, he was large for his age.
The article in Fortune caused mixed feelings. Now that the whole world knew about us, people began to tread the road to us. It got even worse when someone from Dell blabbed that we were also on business there. Mike Dell wasn’t overjoyed when it came out, but an article in Business Week made it clear that someone at Dell had spilled the beans. Both Business Week and Forbes published an article on venture capital and high technology, we were also listed along with all the other companies that were engaged in this. At least they didn’t put me on the cover, although my photos were in both magazines.
I was a little embarrassed by this, but Marilyn took it all with humor. After reading the Forbes article, she teased me about it for the rest of the night, and while the kids weren’t listening, she raved about how she managed to sleep with a celebrity! In the end, I gave her a notable slap on the ass, and this only caused more laughter, and only later, when the children were put to bed, I punished her a little differently.
In business terms, fame was generally a good sign. This gave us more legitimacy in the industry, which also brought us partners and employees. We began to discuss the possibility of opening an office in California, probably in the Palo Alto area, and thought about how we could manage it. It would have meant even more business trips for both me and Jake Jr., as neither of us wanted to move. He hit on a girl from Perry Hall who divorced her husband and gave him part of the custody of her son, and who also did not intend to move. One option was to find someone from Sand Hill Road and convince them to leave and open a new branch. We would have to give him part of the income, of course, but there could be pluses in this. Fortunately, I remembered many names of people who have achieved success in business, and I knew whom to bypass, despite all their pedigrees.
As for the new cases, some things went well, most of them went badly, and some proposals were completely nonsense. We were contacted by a guy asking for our support to develop roasted peanut vending machines! He was convinced that people all over the country were just waiting to stand five minutes or more in front of a machine that would fry them peanuts. The strangest ideas were posted on a blackboard in the break room, and it was called the “Shameful Hall”! It definitely fit.
Early in 1987, one of the strangest possibilities opened up. I became a writer! Well, a co-author, rather, and even more of an illustrious editor. It all happened because of one of my harmless habits. Simply put, the habit is harmless, and has never caused problems. Most people don’t even know about it. I’m not particularly spread, although there is nothing shameful in this.
I write letters to editors.
It all started quite innocently. On my first attempt, when I was 14, I read an article in Popular Science magazine about rowing, and in my letter to them I added a couple more cents from myself about something, I don’t even remember what, but it was in print two weeks later! It’s like I got stoned and addicted to it! Years later, I continued to read magazines and newspapers and get involved. What I didn’t realize when I started this, but realized later when I was editing the company’s mailing list, is how desperate most publishers and editors are in their attempts to fill in the blank.
My letters were published everywhere, from local newspapers to major national publications. An article on pharmaceutical sales techniques in Time received a response, which also went to press. Two scholarly notes on Iran and the shipbuilding program have been published in the Proceedings of the Naval Institute. One funny incident happened when a bridge in Otsego County was closed for renovation and reopened only three years later. I wrote to the Oneonta Daily Star that I would not vote for state senator until the bridge was repaired, and urged other readers to do the same. Two days later, I was put on the senator’s mailing list and received weekly updates on what was happening with the bridge. Marilyn agreed with me, which was quite funny. I once also wrote a response to an article from the Rensselaer alumni magazine who wrote that KGS bought a new house in 2010 that had previously been a single mothers’ home. My response to this was very appropriate, since many Keggers initially spent a lot of time helping the girls settle in. This brought me some angry letters from that generation of Keggers and a general applause from everyone else.
Nothing has changed on this attempt. You write a letter in which you either speak out about something or refute some idiot. Nine times out of ten, editors throw it out immediately. But that doesn’t matter, because just the writing itself makes you feel better, and gives you a reason to open the mail section first.
In this case, The Baltimore Sun ran an article about the maintenance cost of the Bay Bridge. Some weirdo wrote about how the cost is outrageous and that taxpayer money shouldn’t go into maintaining a bridge that wasn’t designed and built right from the start, and that all contractors should be sued. I responded with an even longer letter stating that the cost was not inflated, but well within the expected cost of the design, and that maintenance should take place in all areas. My answer was picked up and printed on the help page as a guest correction, which completely stunned me. My letter received a lot of responses, both positive and negative, which, apparently, was expected by the editors, and was the reason for its publication.
One of these answers turned out to be the most interesting. A professor of civil engineering at the University of Maryland sent back a very long dissertation on infrastructure maintenance, the letter was too long and convoluted to publish, and they forwarded it to me along with a note that maybe I would like to talk to him. I read his letter and quickly responded, saying that I received the letter from Sun, but specifying that they did not intend to publish it. I agreed with many of his theses, and thanked for the interest.
I was surprised by what happened next. I received a second letter, this time sent directly to me, with a bunch of scientific papers, some from him and some from others, touching on the impact of infrastructure deterioration and the cost of restoration. It was really interesting. I spent most of the day paperwork and then got his phone number in college. After which I called him and thanked him, to which he invited me to a symposium on Thursday evening, in which he participated, on the topic of infrastructure requirements for maintenance.
And that’s how I met Professor Harold Johnson. On Wednesday night, I informed Marilyn that I would most likely be home late on Thursday, and I would be in town for dinner. When she asked why, I told her about the letters.
– I see you are returning to science? she teased.
I answered with the most arrogant air:
– Let me remind you that I have always been a scientist, and you, the lower breeds, must recognize my inherent superiority!
– Oh, really? Maybe then a higher being should sleep in the library tonight, so the thoughts from the books will be absorbed into you?
I walked around the kitchen and put my arm around her shoulders.
– No, I think if I sleep with you, then maybe my brilliant ideas and thoughts can be absorbed into you!
– With this behavior, nothing will be absorbed at all! she replied.
– Hmmm… Maybe I can come up with a special sleep technique! We continued to tease each other after dinner.
Later that night, Marilyn did let me sleep in our bed, and I diligently practiced that same technique on her.
The University of Maryland was in Arbutus, closer to the southwestern part of Baltimore. It is located next to the Catonsville Community College, better known to residents as the University of South Catonsville, or as the University of Catonsville to the left of Arbutus. Depending on the time of day, it’s about forty minutes from Hereford towards Beltway and then right around town. The symposium started at seven, so I stopped by Towson, had dinner in town, and then headed to Arbutus.
The symposium was held in an auditorium in the building of engineers. I parked on the west side of the building and went inside. There was a traffic jam on the Beltway, so I was fifteen minutes late. I slipped through the door at the end of the auditorium and sat down in one of the seats in the back row. Professors-engineers, economists and political scientists spoke at the symposium, and in general there were some people in the audience who were very similar to graduates of some of them. However, it is not surprising. I must have been the only visitor from the general public, and I would not have been there if I had not been invited.
Nothing new was discussed there, although in general it all seemed interesting to me. Much of the discussion revolved around roads and bridges and how the country’s infrastructure is deteriorating. It was true even then, and it will only get worse from there. By the time of the global crisis, a huge number of places in the country will be left to rot without any maintenance. If the bridge collapses, then it will be left like that, and the inhabitants will not be happy. There are a lot of potholes on the roads. Putting up signal cones is cheaper than fixing fences if someone goes off the road. No one at the symposium was able to offer any solutions to the problem, and in the end the graduates left, their attendance was noted.
It was just past ten when the meeting ended, so I got up from my chair and walked to the front of the auditorium. Dr. Johnson was the bridge and road expert here. I stepped over a small threshold at the scaffold, and approached him.
– Professor Johnson?
He looked up at me:
– Yes? Can I help you?
I smiled and extended my hand.
– Carl Buckman, Dr. You invited me to the symposium, remember?
– Oh, yes, thanks for coming. It’s nice when not only academicians are here with us.
– Yes, I agree with you. I remember those days myself.
– Yes? – he asked.
I handed him one of the company’s business cards with my degree next to my name.
– Yes, a couple of years ago I was a graduate myself.
His eyebrows went up.
– Where did you study?
– Rensselaer. I got my doctorate in applied mathematics about ten years ago. And it seems like in another life.
– I know about Rensselaer. I got my bachelor’s degree from Clarkson.
– Do you still support hockey? I asked.
Clarkson competed with Rensselaer in the first division for years.
He grinned.
– Not for several years now. Although it was great for dates. I smiled and nodded in agreement. “I should have guessed from your response to that idiotic letter that you have a mathematical background. I just want people to pay more attention to it. And nothing is done until something terrible happens.
– It’s nature, professor. When everything is good, we don’t want to spend money. And when everything is bad – nothing. Until you figure out how to remake people, nothing will happen if this is not helped, – I answered and looked at my watch. We were the only ones left in the auditorium, and it was past nine. “I think it’s time for us to go. And it looks like we’re going to be shut down here.
– I would like to talk more.
I was about to say goodbye, but for some reason I put it off.
– I think I would have a snack now. How are you, professor? Is there anywhere to get a cup of coffee or something like that?
He seemed startled.
– Not sure. I think most of the local establishments are already closed. We can find a sandwich shop or something. There’s also a pretty good place on South Rolling Road in Frederick, Russells, but a bit pricey for a cup of coffee.
I waved it off with a smile.
– I treat. Nice to be back in the world of science. Johnson gave me a strange look, so I added, “I’ll explain how we get there.”
I waited for the professor to pack his suitcase and then went outside with it. Five minutes later I followed him into the parking lot at Frederick. Then we went inside. Very nice big place with lots of tables and a couple of small tables. By that time, the evening rush had already passed, and we were among the last wave of visitors.
The hostess seated us at a table and gave us menus, and a young waitress came up to us.
– Good evening. My name is Gretchen and I will serve you. Would you like something to drink while you choose what to order?
I smiled and nodded.
– It’s been a long day. Can I order a gin and tonic? – I looked at Johnson and added: – Let me remind you, I treat.
He smiled back and ordered Manhattan. Then when Gretchen left he said
– Well, I don’t often turn down treats. What do you usually do? What is your occupation?
I nodded.
– Uh, what did I do after getting my doctorate? He nodded back, and I began, “Well, I worked for Uncle Sam for a couple of years. I completed a reserve officer training course, and after graduating I went into the army. After leaving the army, I created an investment company. Here’s what I’m doing now.
– Have you created an investment company? he asked incredulously.
I smiled.
– Mathematics offers a number of very lucrative career options, Doctor.
– I believe so.
We talked for a few minutes about Rensselaer and Clarkson, and I confessed that I hurt my leg in the army, so I had a cane. When the waitress returned with our drinks, she asked:
– Ready to order?
I took a quick look at the menu and already knew what I wanted.
– Are crab cakes good?
– The crab cakes are amazing!
“Sounds great.” I handed the menu to Gretchen and we looked at Johnson.
– All yours. Same for me, please.
– Two servings of crab cake – she left.
I drank some gin and it was just right.
– Aaah, straight to the bull’s-eye. I’m still driving today, so I can’t drink more than two, but it’s been a very long day.
Johnson drank some of his and grinned childishly:
– Feel like I broke a rule by drinking during the school week. Usually my wife and I drink on weekends.
We talked some more. Johnson was a couple of years older than me, maybe thirty-five or thirty-six, married a college English teacher, two daughters, both in high school. He was a strong middle man. The stereotype about the absent-minded professor turned out to be just a stereotype. Shortly before our pies were brought in, he asked:
– So why did you come to the symposium anyway?
– Well, I think it’s because you invited me. I doubt if I would have known about him otherwise.
He shook his head.
– And I just want people to be interested in the infrastructure on which they themselves depend. Nothing happens until something collapses and someone dies.
At that moment, Gretchen showed up with our orders, so I was late with the answer. I ordered a second glass each, then I tried the cake (delicious!), and finally said:
– Without good advertising and PR, you will never ever get people interested in infrastructure. It’s not very exciting, and even costs money.
He shrugged.
– I know you’re right. What do you think about this?
– I can’t say for sure, but I can tell you one thing. If what you’re doing doesn’t work, don’t expect it to pop up someday. Do something else. Even in small things.
– For example?
Thanks to the fact that I had already started chewing on a piece of cake, I had a couple of seconds to think. I thought with my mouth closed, but holding up my finger as a signal to wait while I finished chewing and swallowed, wetting everything with gin and tonic.
– Okay, well, something simple. I have read your papers. They even have titles, such as “The Adverse Effects of Infrastructure Oxidations Require Options.” No one outside the engineering community will read this. What ordinary people, politicians and newspapers will read is “Rusty bridges cost money!”
– Well, yes, but technical papers are not written like that! he protested.
– I know. I myself wrote a couple of works. What I’m talking about is that if you want attention from people who aren’t tech-savvy, then you don’t have to write technical language. You need to write in words that everyone can understand. They won’t understand “options”. They will understand the collapse of the bridge and the increase in their taxes. You need to tailor the presentation of information to the public,” I said and continued. – This is the first thing. Are there any other options. For example, politicians love to be photographed opening a bridge, or digging up the earth, or doing something. You need to convince them that it’s just as cool as taking pictures while filling a hole in the road or putting up a cone. Say it shows them practical and economical. Attack them with dollars, not reports and magazines.
He smiled.
– It sounds like you don’t have much confidence in the servants of society.
– I believe that they will do everything to be re-elected. Convince them that they will be re-elected from having hit the holes, and they will close them up.
– This is quite cynical.
“That is very true,” I replied.
He thought for a second and said:
– You need to be elected.
I nearly spit out my drink.
– Never mind!
– Then how do you change something? If not you, then who?
– Think of another way, professor. I haven’t sunk that low yet,” I replied.
After our late dinner, I thanked Johnson for an interesting evening and went home. I went to bed around midnight. Marilyn was already napping with Puffball warming my side of the bed. I took the dog out to the backyard on business, and when we got back, she went into Charlie’s room. I climbed into my already warmed part of the bed and fell asleep.
Friday morning Marilyn slept in my arms. As usual, she woke up before me and went to the bathroom to take a shower. Since Marilyn’s morning classes usually take half an hour or so, I managed to take a nap. After a couple of minutes I was awakened by Puffy and began to whine until I took her out into the backyard. While she was urinating, I went to the bathroom and did the same. Then I went back to let the dog in and then went back to the bathroom to shave and shower myself.
– Morning! How is your lecture? Marilyn asked.
– Interesting, and it was a symposium, not a lecture.
– Only you see the difference in this.
I could only smile.
– I’m sorry I came back so late. We talked to the professor. Have you been waiting for me?
– No. As soon as I put the kids to bed, I fell asleep on the couch.
– I’m sorry.
At that moment, the girls entered the bathroom, mumbling something about breakfast. I quickly wrapped the towel around my waist.
– Both of you will get a good anatomy lesson one day soon! I was outraged.
“The lesson will be quite short,” their mother added.
– Oh, that was rude, lady! Very rude!
Marilyn stuck out her tongue and then shooed the girls back through the bedroom and down the hallway. I jumped into the shower and did my morning bath almost twice as fast as Marilyn does. On the other hand, most of her time is spent rubbing lotion all over her body—I mean, all over her body. On vacation without children, I usually liked to watch it. And I decided that it was a sin to complain about such a use of her time.
This, as I thought, ended my re-immersion into the world of science. I left work early in the afternoon and we took the kids to Deep Creek Lake for the weekend. It’s very picturesque in the summer, and I remember it from the first try, Susie and her family often went there for a hike. Now Susie won’t go there.
I would never take Marilyn on a hike myself. No matter how much pleasure it gave me to watch her roaming the forest, it would not be comparable to the inconvenience she caused.
I knew this as an absolute fact, and some dark side of my psyche wished that the day would come when Marilyn would want to go camping. When she was pregnant for the first time, we agreed that I would be on the side of the boys and she would be on the side of the girls. So I would be the Chief Boy Scout on Charlie’s team and she would be on Holly and Molly’s team. Charlie was already a Tiger Cub, and I was his designated adult. Charlie thought it was a lot of fun, and ever since he got to Wibelos, he couldn’t wait to go camping overnight. I was looking forward to the day when Marilyn would have to go camping with the Brownies or some other group of girls. If you’re lucky, one of the other parents will film it, and then I would buy myself a copy. I was ready to shell out a tidy sum for shooting where Marilyn strays in the wild!
This weekend, of course, we just stayed at the lake house, wandered around a bit and did other usual tourist stuff. On Sunday afternoon we drove back to Hereford, dropped the children off and put them to sleep. On Monday, Marilyn was supposed to pick up Pyshka from the kennel, and I was supposed to return to work.
By the end of the week, the vile face of science has resurfaced. Harry Johnson called me:
– Dr. Buckman, I just wanted to call again and thank you for coming to the symposium and for the dinner after it. I hope you didn’t get home too late.
– Nothing unexpected. Thank you for calling.
– Do you remember how we talked about what you can do to help me? – he asked.
My brow twitched. Either I forgot this part of the conversation, or Harry Johnson was a better salesman than I expected.
– I remember saying that I was not going to run for office.
He laughed at this.
– Yes, I remember that too. But no, I’m talking about other ways to draw public attention to the problem.
I remember this part.
– Yes, I remember that. Do you already have some ideas?
– We can write a book!
I stared at the phone for a moment. I almost heard Johnson say something about writing a book.
– Excuse me?
– I said we could write a book.
– Yes, I thought so too. For a second I thought Timothy Leary had overdone his LSD again. book?
Harry laughed.
– I’m serious. Let me explain. Simon and Schuster contacted me last fall about a book on infrastructure. I rejected their idea. I tried to start, but it was a complete failure. You can make it better, much better.
– I’m pretty sure Timothy went overboard after all.
– Give me a chance. Let me discuss this with you. Please.
I rolled my eyes up to the ceiling but agreed. The earliest we could meet is Thursday afternoon. Harry agreed to come, given that last time I came. I informed Grace that I had an appointment.
On Thursday, Professor Johnson showed up at our office around one o’clock in the afternoon. I gave him all the directions on how to get here, but didn’t explain what the place looked like. The intercom phone rang and Grace called
.
– Mr. Buckman, you have arrived.
I pressed the button and said:
– One second.
Then I got up and left the office. I found Johnson in the lobby looking around with a puzzled look.
– Harry! Good to see you again!
– Thank you, Carl. What kind of place is it? What are you doing here? – he asked.
I smiled.
– Remember how I said I had a degree in applied mathematics? – he nodded, and I continued: – Well, money became an application! We are a private venture capital company!
– Wall Street? Something like that? And the company is named after you? Then you must be a very important person.
I smiled at that.
– You could say that. I am the main owner. Let’s go to my office.
– Why didn’t the secretary call you Doctor Buckman?
Scientists are very worried about conversion. In one place where I worked on the first attempt, there was a scientific laboratory, where the size of the table directly depended on the degree received. Lab assistants had no desk, college lab assistants had a manual stand, bachelor’s degrees provided a meter-sized table with shelves at one end, masters were given a 1. 5-meter table, and doctors were given a nearly two-meter table with shelves at both ends.
– I’m lucky she said Mister. Usually it is “Karl”, or “Hey, you!”. We have an informal atmosphere here.
Once in my office, I pointed Harry to the seating area, where I had chairs and a sofa.
– Okay, tell me. What is it about the book?
Harry explained his idea. Last year, 1986, he was approached by Simon and Schuster with the idea of writing a book on infrastructure and economics based on articles he had written. At the time, he turned down their offer because it was obvious that they wanted something that he couldn’t write. As I said that night, they needed something in an easy to understand way. They turned to him because he was a leader in the field.
They showed up again last month, shortly after the Shohari Creek Bridge on the New York State Freeway was washed away. It was the right moment for the book. I actually knew what it was about, because from a past life I knew about the bridge. Unfortunately for the book, the bridge collapsed not because of a lack of maintenance, but because of an unexpected flood that swept away the bridge’s piers. Ten people died.
The more Harry talked, the more I got into the idea. It kind of reminded me of my graduation speech that was reread at a reunion a couple of years ago. We pay taxes so that we have bridges, roads, water, sewerage, and so on. It’s boring, expensive, no one wants to hear about it, but it’s also important!
I sat and listened, and when Harry began to repeat myself, I raised my hands and gestured that it was time to take a break.
– Okay, I think I got the gist of it. Now, how do you see this book? Divide it into thematic sections. What will make this book special? Why should anyone buy it?
Harry Johnson is not used to this train of thought. In his scientific world, you write a thick pile of incomprehensible things for the same specialists, publish it in special editions, and discuss all this with other specialists. I have never written a book myself, but my life has not been all about science and engineering. Harry began to paint some ideas and the image of the book began to slowly form in my head.
In my office work area, next to my conference table, I had a whole wall of whiteboards. I gestured for Harry to follow me, picked up a marker and began to highlight sections of the book.
– First of all, we can’t just write about bridges with roads. Infrastructure is a lot of things – dams, sewers, water treatment systems, canals – a lot. No one will read about just one, but if we give each section a chapter or two, we can release a research book to the public.
– I have no information on all this. My specialty is bridges and roads,” he disagreed.
I just shrugged.
– So what? You know who’s doing it, you can find documents and technical information on the topic, and make sure we credit everyone who had a hand. And then we will need to find suitable and current examples of problems, and place them in the appropriate chapter.
– A dam broke in Italy a couple of years ago. We can put that in the dam chapter,” he suggested.
I shook my head.
– No, we need examples in America. Don’t misunderstand, I understand that it was a tragedy, but American readers don’t care what happened elsewhere. We need examples in places that readers have heard of and know about. They don’t care what happens across the seas.
– This is incredibly callous! he was indignant.
Unfortunately, he was right. I sat down on the conference table and nodded to him.
– I know. In this situation, we are both right. The issue is that I’m talking about a book aimed at the American reader. People can be very limited at such times. First, as I said, they will have at least some idea of where it is in the States, and they may even have heard about it on the news. Secondly, tell any passer-by on the street that a bridge has collapsed somewhere abroad, he will immediately answer: “Of course it collapsed! It was built by a bunch of foreigners!” And it does not matter that the entire detachment of builders studied in Massachusetts, for example.
– This is terrible…
– Yes, terrible, but so human. Look at our news on TV. A sunken fishing boat with three people will get more air time than a ferry in the Philippines that sank and claimed a thousand lives! I just shrugged and spread my arms. “It’s unfair and wrong, but you know it happens.
– So you see the book as attractive to the general reader?
I needed to think it over.
– You know, I just don’t know myself. We need to talk to the publisher about this. I think that it will be of interest to more college-educated intellectuals than to those who have just graduated from high school. For the guys who read Scientific American, not Field and Stream. And also, probably, readers of books about politics.
– Why about politics?
Professor Johnson really was like a child in the forest.
– Infrastructure means money, and money means politics.
– Oh, right.
– Well, are you still interested? I asked.
– Yes. And you?
– Yes, actually, yes. I’ll need to scald this at home, or later, but I still have time left on the schedule. It’s good that you’re helping. What do you think, who should do what?
– You will have to write most of it, but I will provide all the documentation.
– Okay, but you will need to correct it too, then I will need to correct your edits, and then the publisher will most likely throw it in the bin and force us to write it all over again, I replied.
This made Harry smile.
– Dividing in half?
“You can even take the bulk.” I held out my hand and we shook hands. Then I went to the office door and flung it open. – HEY! DO WE HAVE A LAWYER HERE? I yelled from the door.
Several people in the hallway stopped and stared at me, and then the heads of John and Jake Jr. popped out of the door.
– What have you done now? John asked.
– Just the one you need – Jake just rolled his eyes, smiled and returned to his room. John walked down the corridor and entered my office. “John, this is Professor Harold Johnson from the University of Maryland. Harry, this is John Steiner.
– Nice to meet you. I’m the chairman of the board, also known as Karl’s lawyer and his bail bondsman. What has he done now?
“You offend, John, you offend,” I disagreed.
John ignored this and looked at Harry with a smile.
– We are going to write a book. I don’t know why he called you,” the professor replied.
John looked at me:
– Are you going to write a book?!
– Yes, probably. Do you know anything about writing or publishing? I asked.
– No. Do I need to find someone?
“That might be a good idea.” I turned back to Harry and said, “Contact someone you know at Simon and Schuster and say you’re interested.” But no matter what, don’t sign anything until our lawyer sees it.
– Got it! Good.
– Does Marilyn know that you are going to write a book? John asked with a touch of amusement.
– No, not yet.
– That’s good. Listen, I’ll find someone who understands books, and you take me to a very expensive dinner and tell me everything.
– Agreed.
John went on his way and Harry left too, shaking my hand. I just shook my head. What have I got myself into now?

The possibility of a coup to overthrow the British government was proposed at a meeting organized by newspaper publisher Cecil King and eight years later would be told in King’s book at Daily Mirror , Hugh Cudlipp. According to Cudlipp’s 1976 memoir Walking on Water , the King met with British war hero Lord Mountbatten and outlined problems with Prime Minister Harold Wilson’s administration. Cudlipp, who was present at the meeting, reported that King believed there would be civil unrest and said that King had asked Mountbatten “whether he would agree to be the figurehead of the new administration”. Government adviser Solly Zuckerman, according to Cudlipp, told King that the idea was “a betrayal” and added “I am a civil servant and will have nothing to do with this” and that Mountbatten ended the meeting.

Communist Party leaders from five Eastern European countries met in Moscow to discuss the response to the liberal reforms taking place in Czechoslovakia during the Prague Spring. Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev expressed the opinion that the situation was “exceptionally dangerous” and that members of the counter-revolutionary party were taking control of this communist country due to the indecision of the Central Committee of the Czechoslovak Party. “We must make sure that in the press in our countries,” Brezhnev said, “in all our speeches and in the works of creative unions and other organizations, nothing appears that could be interpreted as encouraging the ‘new model’ in the least bit.” socialism, “which is allegedly created by anti-socialist elements in Czechoslovakia.” [41] Walter Ulbricht (East Germany), Vladislav Gomulka (Poland), and Todor Zhivkov (Bulgaria) agreed with Brezhnev’s assessment, while Janos Kadar Hungary considered the Czechoslovak Program of Action to correct the party’s mistakes, not a counter-revolution.
