The first kindergarten with a rooftop playhub will appear in Moscow

November 10, 2022

A unique facility will appear in Moscow – the first kindergarten with a play hub on the roof. The eco-architecture of the entire space of the project instills in children a love for nature, allows them to move freely, without visual barriers and restrictions, while maintaining a logical comfortable zoning for both children and adults. This was told by the chief architect of Moscow, the first deputy chairman of the Moscow Committee for Architecture Sergey Kuznetsov.

All play areas are designed according to the principles of neurodynamics. This contributes to the formation of children’s speech, their susceptibility to learning and open communication, and also trains memory and other important skills. mos.ru/mka

“A unique children’s playground will be located on the roof of a one-story kindergarten building for 95 children and will be completely safe for kids. His pupils will have the opportunity not only to walk in the fresh air near the water, but also to develop in the atmosphere of natural spaces. This is a common practice in the world, but in Moscow, as far as I know, this is the first case,” said Sergey Kuznetsov, chief architect of Moscow.

A garden will be built on Simonovskaya embankment in Først residential complex. The concept of a rooftop play area in the natural landscape of a Scandinavian village was developed by Druzhba architectural bureau.

The site will recreate the image of the northern landscape, which is characterized by hills, glades, wooden and rocky surfaces, with fragrant herbs, moss, pine bark, wood chips and sand. A real children’s oasis that combines a holistic architectural image with full-fledged education.

Playhub will include a tower with sand lifting equipment, a spacious play kitchen, a play hill with a tunnel and a slide, nest carousels, hammock swings, a covered veranda with interchangeable bodyboard panels, in addition, a slatted fence with a chalk surface, a climbing wall and even a eustachian tube for secret conversations of little adventurers. The veranda offers a whole range of play scenarios: from outdoor activities to watching movies.

When the first kindergarten appeared in Russia, and What Russians borrowed from the Germans

Kindergartens have been known since tsarist times. The first preschool institutions opened in Russia in the 19th century. Moreover, the educational program was borrowed from the Germans. Then the gardens were paid, private and inaccessible to the common people. And only in the era of the USSR they became an integral part of Soviet life.

“Gardeners” and “flowers of life”

Author of the popular kindergarten methodology F. Froebel. /Photo: froebel-museum.de

The system for educating preschoolers in a children’s team was developed by the German teacher Froebel. He founded the first institution in Germany in 1837, which later became the prototype of today’s kindergartens. In a philosophical context, Froebel was listed as an idealist who considered moral education the foundation of a future bright society. In his methodology, he worked out in detail the individual positive qualities of the child, including developing and outdoor games in the programs. However, colleagues found his developments too formalistic. Frobel called kindergarten teachers “gardeners”. And children, according to the scientist, are God’s flowers, which must be cultivated with love. The kindergarten, according to the idea of ​​the founder, was supposed to oppose the natural movement of human sprouts to the world bogged down in technicalism.

In the well-known children’s schools at that time, the pupils were engaged in knitting, memorizing the catechism, and all this in complete silence. Froebel proposed his own didactic complex in complete opposition to the existing ones. According to his teachings, “gardeners” maintained frequent dialogues with children, figuratively described each surrounding phenomenon, studied colors with them using multi-colored woolen balls, used visual aids in the educational process – cubes, balls and wooden toys. Froebel was the first to designate a kindergarten as an institution for the free development of young children. This system has gained popularity in many countries, not bypassing Russia.

The first Russian kindergartens for wealthy pupils

After the opening of the first paid kindergarten in 1859 in Helsingfors, a similar institution appeared in 1863 in St. Petersburg. The founder of a private kindergarten was the wife of Professor Lugebil. For the next 10 years, paid children’s institutions appeared in Voronezh, Smolensk, Irkutsk, Moscow, Tbilisi. The organization and directions of educational work in these gardens completely depended on the views of the patron. In some, mostly discovered by Russian Germans, the Fröbel system was methodically implemented. In others, the curators and teachers were looking for new vectors of work, criticizing the German teacher and following the statements of Ushinsky, Tolstoy and other Russian teachers.

For example, in the Lugebil kindergarten, they tried to get away from strict routine and regulation, giving pupils the opportunity to choose games and activities to their liking under the constant supervision of the “gardener”. In the warm season, all active entertainment took place in nature – in flower and fruit gardens, and in winter, children had fun on ice slides. The educators invited parents to observe the children, at the same time giving them professional advice for a favorable atmosphere in the house. Lugebil often participated in games and activities in person, which won the respect and favor of most of the families of the pupils. She emphasized the development of the imagination, so not a single day passed without fairy tales and lively conversations in her institution. The private garden Simonovich, which existed in St. Petersburg in 1866-1869, was also distinguished by creative delights.gg. In the newspapers of that time, he was even noted as “the most reasonable.”

Public Kindergartens for the Poor

The first free public kindergarten, accessible to the lower strata of the population, was opened in St. Petersburg in 1866 at the charitable Society of Cheap Apartments for the offspring of housekeepers. Classes there were organized according to the same Froebel system. The oldest preschoolers studied the Holy Scriptures, prayers, weaving, drawing and appliqué work. The people’s garden was equipped with a sewing workshop for sewing children’s underwear, a laundry room, a shared kitchen, and even an elementary school for children whose parents worked abroad. Older children learned elementary reading and writing for an hour a day, as well as conversations with a teacher. Having not found a response in power circles, the people’s kindergarten that had existed for several years was closed due to lack of money.

Soviet boom

Kindergarten in the USSR was a ubiquitous phenomenon. /Photo: mtdata.ru

The system of kindergartens developed most rapidly in Russia during the Soviet period, when the problem of centralized financing was solved. From the first years of the existence of the USSR, dozens of children’s educational institutions were opened. The young state needed working hands, including women. Therefore, according to the idea of ​​those in power, the young mother, as a potential worker, should not have been puzzled by the question “with whom to leave the child.” In addition to the fact that state kindergartens took responsibility for raising children from toddler age, preschool institutions were the first stage of secondary education, which was enshrined in the Constitution. The nursery and kindergarten were at first separate structures (children were admitted to the nursery at the age of 2 months, the kindergarten recruited pupils from the age of 3). At 19In 1959, these divisions were united into one institution, where they were guided by the unified program of education and training “from simple to complex” developed by the Ministry of Education. The united nursery-garden was divided into seven groups – 3 nurseries and 4 kindergartens.

The nursery was taken from 2 months of age. /Photo: i.pinimg.com

Private kindergartens did not exist in the USSR.

Avoid stop topics: a psychologist told what not to ask a child after school

• Lifestyle

What is the right way to talk to a student when he comes home after school? What questions should be asked to the child, and what is better not to ask and why? Psychologists explain.

After the end of kindergarten graduation, parents and children face a difficult test, including in terms of family relationships: is a school.

If in the first grade a child still willingly talks about how his day went, then by the middle school it is often impossible to get at least some information from him. And all because parents ask the “wrong” questions.

“Dr. Peter” talked to psychologists and figured out how to communicate with a student after school, even if he doesn’t really want to talk about school, and what to ask in order to get a guaranteed answer.

Don’t ask questions directly

The selection of questions to talk with the child after school depends on many factors – age, character, temperament, etc. But there are some general tips.

1. No need to ask questions about the school directly. Instead, you can ask how the day went, what interesting things happened, what the child liked or didn’t like. Questions like these can help a child talk about everything without pressure.

2. Listen carefully and ask clarifying questions. Try to understand what worries him or makes him happy that he has learned something new.

3. Avoid pressure and judgment. If the child does not want to talk about school, do not insist on it. Support him, let him know that you will listen to him when he is ready to speak.

4. Show your interest and support. If the child talks about his hobbies and preferences, try to ask additional questions and show your interest. Support him in his hobbies and successes.

5. Avoid criticism and reproach. If a child has not coped with a task or received an unsatisfactory grade, try to support him, listen, let him understand that mistakes and failures are normal, and in order to overcome them, you need to learn and grow further.

“A universal factor for building positive contact with a child is the ability to listen and support him,” psychologist Yulia Vatutina draws attention. — It is necessary to show your interest and demonstrate a desire to help in any, even the most difficult situation for him “.

Ask like this

Here are some questions to ask a student after class:

• What did you learn today?

• Which lessons did you enjoy the most and why?

• Which lessons were the most difficult?

• Who did you talk to at school today?

• How did the changes go?

• Is there any news from school that you want to share?

“It is important to remember that a child may be tired or irritated after a difficult day at school, so you need to communicate with him patiently and with understanding. You can also ask your child to talk about what he would like to do after school, such as play or rest, and help him organize this time, ”advises the expert.

No questions

The psychologist notes that there are several questions that parents often ask schoolchildren, but it is better not to do this.

• Why do you have such a grade?

• Did you do your homework?

• Did you fight with anyone at school? Did someone offend you?

“Also, do not ask questions related to relationships with classmates. If there is a feeling that something is going wrong, it is better to just ask a question about the problems and experiences of the child as a whole , recommends Yulia Vatutina. “These issues can cause a child to experience discomfort, shame, guilt, and other negative emotions and experiences that can negatively affect relationships with parents, as well as his motivation and interest in learning.”

“It is not worth asking a child after school the question “What was asked?”, if he is in elementary school, because the student’s attention is still scattered. It is better to rely on entries in a diary, chat or electronic journal. Do not ask the question “How are you?” – there is a great risk of getting a faceless answer, ”says psychologist Elena Burova.

How to communicate with your child after school: 3 right steps

“Glad to see you!”
“It’s good that you’re already at home!”

“How did you get there?”
“How long do you need to rest?”
“What would you like to eat/how hungry are you?”

“If your son or daughter is open and talkative, you just need to listen to them and read the information between the lines. The main thing is to periodically comment or clarify (that is, listen actively), says psychologist Elena Burova.

“Would you like help with… or can you do it yourself?”
“How many minutes in advance do you need to be reminded of…?”
“Tell me what you absolutely need to do today.”

The child does not go home after school

The child does not go home after school (he also goes to music school), he can come home at 17. 00-19.30, or we find him and bring him home. Once I went for a walk, found only by 22.00 hours. And they talked to him, and persuaded, and punished – nothing helps. Watch or phone in such cases turns off or leaves at home. The child is under guardianship, but in the family since 1.8 years. Lately late comes every day! I do not know how to influence, what to do?

Hope

Hope, hello.

It is important to understand the reason for what is happening. This is the only way to draw up a plan of corrective measures and count on efficiency.

To begin with, it is important to rule out psychiatric deviations. I strongly recommend that you consult a child psychiatrist for advice. Maybe. the child has problems of this order, and he will need medical help. If the pathology is excluded, then it is worth seeking a face-to-face consultation with a psychologist. The specialist will be able to identify the mechanism of such behavior and carry out appropriate work. You can find a list of free psychological assistance services on our Portal -https://www. ya-parental.ru/map/ But it is important to understand that efficiency is higher where not only the child, but also his family is involved.

The psyche always chooses those patterns of behavior that help it survive. These can be conscious or unconscious actions, they can be learned during life or “built in” genetically. But if such behavior already interferes, then it must be recognized and transformed into something new.

The same with your child. It is important to understand why he does this: what prompts him to such behavior, and most importantly, what gives him. Perhaps this is a way to get away from contact with you, a way to avoid conflict. Or so the child satisfies his need for attention and a sense of his own importance. Or maybe the reason is that the child has entered adolescence and so deserves approval among peers. By understanding what drives them, you can suggest different behaviors. It will be safer and more efficient. Otherwise it will not be accepted. And yes, the more diverse the arsenal of possible reactions to the same stimulus, the higher the adaptive properties of the psyche.

Stretching for Young Athletes – Injury Prevention

Sports participation is a leading cause of injury in young people. Sports injuries can have both short- and long-term consequences. An injury can immediately sideline a player, putting both the fun of the sport and the health benefits of exercise on hold. An injury that keeps a child out of the game over the long term can increase the chances of gaining weight, becoming less fit in general and even developing arthritis in later years. It may not always be possible to avoid injury when playing sports, especially physical contact sports, but athletes can help protect themselves by preparing before and after a game or practice session by warming up muscles and then stretching.

Benefits of Warming Up and Stretching For Young Athletes

Whether the activity is skiing, running or playing a group sport like basketball or football, stretching keeps the young athlete’s body flexible. Flexibility can cut down on injuries, especially at the knee and ankle. Stretching again after activity should also be part of an injury prevention plan. Before any kind of physical activity, including stretching, the body needs to be warmed up with some light exercise. Walking, running in place or doing jumping jacks for a few minutes will warm up muscles.

Warm Up Stretches Before Workout or Playing Sports

Once muscles are warm, young athletes are ready for these stretches, each of which should be repeated three to six times:

• Forward lunge. Kneel on one knee. Place the other leg forward at a right angle (knee right over ankle). Lean forward to feel the stretch in the front of the thigh. Hold for 20 seconds. Repeat several times. Switch legs.
• Side lunge. Stand with feet far apart. Bend one leg and lean toward that knee. Hold for 20 seconds. Repeat several times, then bend and lean toward the opposite leg.
• Standing quad (thigh) stretch. Use a wall or chair for support. The child should raise one foot behind him/her. Using the hand on the same side of the body, he/she should pull the foot up toward the buttocks, stretching the thigh. Keep the knees close. Hold for 20 seconds, then release. Repeat several times. Switch legs.
• Seat straddle lotus. Have the child sit down with the soles of the feet together in front of him/her, pressing knees to the floor. Place the forearms on the inside of the knees and push down as the child leans toward the ground. Lean forward from the hips. Hold for 20 seconds. Repeat several times.
• Side seat straddle. Sit on the floor, legs spread apart. With both hands, hold onto the shin of one leg. Lean forward, chin to knee. Hold for 20 seconds. Repeat. Switch legs.
• Seat stretch. Sit with legs straight out in front. Holding shins or ankles, lean forward from the hips. Bring the chin toward the knees. Hold for 20 seconds. Repeat several times.
• Knees to chest. Lying on the floor, bend knees and bring them to the chest. Rock gently. Hold for 20 seconds. Repeat several times.

After every workout, repeat these same stretches to help the body cool down and increase flexibility while muscles are still warm.

How Often should young athletes stretch?

• Before starting a game, sport or practice, all athletes should warm up the muscles with five to 10 minutes of a light version of exercise. For example, to warm up for basketball, do some relaxed shooting; for jogging, walk. A warm-up will increase blood flow to the muscles and tendons, which makes them less likely to be injured.
• After exercise, cool down for 10 minutes by decreasing the intensity of the activity. Cooling down helps the muscles eliminate waste products and decreases soreness. Gently stretch the muscles used in the activity to help relax them.

How Many Times a Week Should You Stretch?

Young athletes should stretch at least three times a week, but only after they have warmed up or after a workout, when muscles are loose and relaxed. Stretching before warming up does not reduce the risk for injury during a sport, and fitness experts such as the American College of Sports Medicine, no longer recommend it.

How Long to Hold a Stretch: Increases Flexibility

• When stretching, hold each stretch (no bouncing or jerking) for 20 seconds. Don’t stretch to the point of pain.
• Repeat stretches two to three times for each muscle group.
• There’s no prize for finishing a stretching routine first, so encourage kids to take it slow to get all the benefit from the stretch.

Stretching (for Teens) – Nemours KidsHealth

Medically reviewed by: Mary L. Gavin, MD

A balanced exercise routine includes
aerobicactivity, strength training, and stretching. Stretching not only feels good, but may help prevent muscle injuries.

Warming Up

It’s important to warm up your body before any physical activity. Warming up for about 5–10 minutes goes a long way toward preparing the body for exercise.

Warming up:

• increases your heart rate and respiratory rate
• increases muscle temperature
• boosts the amount of blood and oxygen delivered to your muscles
• prepares the body for a workout

A warm-up can even be the activity you are about to do but at a slower pace. For example, if you’re about to go for a run, warm up with walking or a light jog. If you’re going to go for a swim, do a couple of slow warm-up laps. If you play a sport, focus on the muscles that are used for your particular sport. For instance, if you play baseball, you might warm up your shoulder with light throwing.

Dynamic stretching uses many muscle groups in a sport specific manner and can be part of your warm-up. Besides warming up the muscles that will be used in the activity, dynamic stretching allows for full range of motion of the joints.

Stretching the Right Way

Stretching used to be considered the main activity before a workout. But traditional, or “static,” stretching may lead to decreased muscle strength and performance, especially if your muscles are not warmed up enough. Stretching cold muscles can lead to injury.

To get the most out of warming up and stretching, try dynamic stretches before and static stretching after a workout.

Stretching properly may reduce muscle injuries and improve athletic performance. It also increases:

• flexibility
• joint range and motion
• blood flow to muscles

Here are some tips on how to stretch properly:

Stop if it hurts. Stretching should never hurt. If you have reached a point in your stretch where it hurts, pull back to where you still feel a stretch but can hold the stretch comfortably.

Hold each stretch for 10–30 seconds. Holding a stretch for any less won’t sufficiently lengthen the muscle. Holding a stretch too long may overstretch muscles. Overstretching may cause injury and decrease performance. Stretch the muscles slowly and don’t force it.

Don’t bounce. Bouncing while stretching may injure the muscle you’re stretching.

Remember to breathe. Don’t hold your breath when you stretch. Inhale slowly and relax into the stretch as you breathe out.

Stretch both sides. You may be more flexible on one side, but try to do equal stretching on both sides. Big differences in flexibility may lead to injury.

Stretch regularly. To maintain flexibility, stretch at least 3 days a week.

Cooling Down

You need to slow down your body after a workout or exercise. Do 5–10 minutes of gentle movement and stretching to help your body recover from a workout.

Your cool-down routine should include gentle movement and stretching. Cooling down and stretching at the end of a workout helps you to:

• slow your heart rate and breathing
• reduce the chance of feeling dizzy or lightheaded
• relax and feel the benefits of your workout

Whether you’re new to working out or a lifelong athlete, be sure to include a good before-and-after routine for better performance and recovery.

Stretching for children – stretching lessons for children with twine

Stretching for children

Stretching is necessary not only for those children who are professionally involved in dancing, gymnastics or other sports. Even for those children who do not want to take places on pedestals, stretching will bring a lot of benefits:

• will help to acquire a beautiful correct posture;
• will help develop coordination of movements;
• will teach you to control your body;
• will strengthen muscles and ligaments;
• forms a beautiful slender figure.

Children often want to achieve success in sports – sit on the splits, make a bridge, spin the wheel. At a younger age, muscles and ligaments are very malleable and easily influenced, so it is easier and easier for children to translate their plans into reality. The main thing is to draw up a training plan and conduct training only under the supervision of an experienced trainer. The elasticity of the muscles can also play a negative role, because they are very easy to injure. Do not stretch the child without the appropriate knowledge and practice. What will happen in the stretching class? The lesson takes place in several stages, during which a warm-up (warm-up) is carried out, a set of stretching and relaxation exercises is performed. This approach allows you to achieve results quickly and with maximum safety.

Stretching for beginners

Children’s stretching is an opportunity to raise the child’s authority, help him to believe in himself, to make sure that everything is possible. Be sure to contact professional teachers for stretching, especially if the child has not previously played sports. The reason is not only that the twine stretch for children must be carried out correctly. Not every child is ready to completely immerse himself in work, obey the coach and follow all his instructions. The task of the coach is to find an approach to each of the students, to become not a friend for him, but a mentor who does not force, but helps.

What do the kids do during the Cosmo Dance stretching class, since we don’t just do the splits? Our students work on the muscles of the whole body, stretch their legs, back, arms, gain flexibility. We will teach you how to perform a variety of exercises and tricks that young athletes are so eager to master. Now bridges and wheels will not be something inaccessible!

How can I sign up for split and general stretching classes for children at Cosmo Dance? Choose a convenient time for training and a branch of the school that is more convenient for you to get to. You can visit trial classes with different trainers in order to find a teacher that is most appropriate in character and approach for your child.

Split and general stretching for children in Cosmo Dance means treating young athletes as if they were adults, attention and respect for students, an individual approach to each of them. This is an attentive staff and a high level of training of our teachers, comfortable rooms for training and relaxation. This is a place where your child will gain not only the ability to control his body, but also real friends, a great mood and energize. We are waiting for you in class.

Sport is the key to health and longevity. It is desirable to cultivate the habit of physical education from childhood. And one of the most important, as well as controversial points in sports exercises is stretching. In this article, you will learn the answers to the following questions: Is stretching dangerous for children? How to choose the right stretching exercises? How can gymnastic exercises help us?

Is stretching bad for kids?

Asking this question, it is worth considering: what in our life is not harmful? In fact, almost everything is useful, but only with adequate, moderate consumption. It’s the same with stretching – this exercise brings a lot of benefits, but only if performed correctly in accordance with medical indications. General developmental flexibility exercises as exercise therapy are prescribed by doctors to children from infancy. Therapeutic exercise involves an individually selected set of exercises that allows you to prevent the development of degenerative-dystrophic processes in the spine or stop the progression of existing ones. Physical therapy classes are simple, accessible to people of any age, do not require a lot of time and can usually be performed at home. For example, this is back riding on a fitball, stretching your arms back; hanging on straight arms, holding the hands of a doctor / parent; lying on your back bend back with an emphasis on straight arms.

As the child grows older, the exercises gradually become more difficult. It is better to focus on the development of flexibility at the age of 6-7 years. At this time, the muscular-ligamentous apparatus is already ready for simple exercises.

Children’s stretching allows you to optimize and normalize the tone of various muscle groups. It relieves tonic tension, which contributes to the activation of the corresponding structures of the brain. Therefore, within reasonable limits, stretching is very useful for children.

What kind of stretching is beneficial?

Anastasia Dolzhenkova, coach of the Lokomotiv European Gymnastics Center, explained how to properly approach the issue of stretching for children:

• Stretching exercises for children should be performed based on the natural process of movement.

• The child should feel a soft stretch in the muscles, not accompanied by pain.

• You need to engage in a spacious, warm room that is well ventilated.

• Dress your child in comfortable clothes and socks.

• Let your child drink whenever he wants to prevent dehydration.

• At the initial stage, do stretching exercises with your child every other day so that the body rests, and then daily.

• Conduct classes (on average) for half an hour.

• Teach your child to breathe correctly – evenly, deeply.

In addition, stretching from an early age helps to optimize the child’s muscle tone and helps to eliminate various muscle dystonias and clamps. It can increase the physical activity of the child, improve the elasticity of muscles and ligaments, and strengthen the muscles and articular ligaments. According to a number of medical indications, stretching is very useful for the formation of a correct posture and gait, it increases the range of motion, thereby reducing the risk of injury. In addition, gymnastics removes stiffness in the body, relieves physical and mental overwork, which is especially characteristic of school-age children.

On their own, especially at the beginning of classes, children cannot stretch correctly. A specialist should help them with this. And it is very important that he, while helping the child, act slowly and smoothly, avoiding jerks.

What stretching methods are harmful?

Unfortunately, on the issue of children’s stretching, everything is not always clear, since sometimes some exercises are not at all beneficial. But this can happen in the case of special, medical contraindications or a completely illiterate approach and the wrong way of stretching. Below is a list of dangerous gymnastic exercises that you should not do if you want to do healthy stretching.

Knee extension with hamstring stretch

The muscles of the back of the thigh cross two joints – the hip and knee. Very often, people focus on stretching the muscles around the knee, arching it backwards and ignoring the hip joint. These are the same people who can touch the floor with their hands straight, but have a terrible technique of tilting with weight. It is always worth bending over by stretching the muscles that cross the hip joint. Overextension of the knees under load over time can lead to ligament damage or arthrosis.

90 degree glute stretch

The problem is that instead of external rotation of the femur, many externally rotate the lower leg, which puts a load on the ligamentous apparatus of the knee. This stretch should be used in a non-aggressive way, without extreme outward rotation of the lower leg and pressure on the knee. You need to make sure that the abduction of the knee to the side is due to the femur, and not the lower leg.

Lumbar stretch

The lumbar spine requires stability. Its neighbors should be mobile – the thoracic spine and pelvis. The less mobile the lower back, the better. Work on stretching the muscles of the hip joint and on improving the mobility of the thoracic spine. Dangerous exercises include hanging on the horizontal bar (including for the shoulder joints).

Stretching Through Pain

Stretching itself brings discomfort, but they should subside after 20-30 seconds. No one should train through enduring pain. Of course, there are times when physiotherapists are forced to work the joint after surgery through uncomfortable ranges of motion, but this should only be done by professionals. If you experience sprain pain, see your doctor.

Stretch Bone Blocks

There are many reasons that can limit the range of motion in a joint. Sometimes the problem is in the bones, when they no longer fit together so that the movement in the joint is full and complete – this is called congruence. Bone “calls” and growths can be, for example, in the shoulder joints or the ankle in front. Sometimes the reason is in injuries, in the rigidity of the joint capsule. Before pulling, it is better to find out the reason.

Rock and bounce while stretched

When a tissue stretches unusually, receptors on it read the information and send a signal to the spinal cord that there is a threat of rupture. It responds with a reflex contraction of the muscle to stop the dangerous stretch. This is called the myostatic reflex.

In an untrained person, it turns on quickly and plays a protective role, preventing injuries. It looks like a complete lack of flexibility, when the amplitude is very small, and you can’t move on.

However, if you stretch regularly, over time the nervous system becomes more and more stable and the reflex brakes move further. So the person becomes more and more flexible.

But the spring, swinging with a rebound during stretching, using inertia to go deeper or reach further, can be injured – the myostatic reflex will not work in time. Therefore, move slowly, smoothly and only forward.

It is believed that in order to effectively perform stretching exercises, it is necessary to overcome pain. Children are absolutely not ready for this, so the coach is forced to use force. As a result, many novice athletes refuse to attend training.

Doctors say that exhausting and too intense gymnastics have a negative impact on the health of athletes. Almost every adult gymnast suffers from various diseases of the musculoskeletal system, and all this is the result of systematic stretching. The fact is that with frequent incorrect stretching, the ligamentous apparatus of the joints is stretched, which further leads to their looseness, creates prerequisites for the development of deforming osteoarthritis, osteochondrosis.

What exercises are suitable for children’s stretching?

Firstly, classes are recommended to be carried out at a slow pace, with calm music. The average duration is 30–45 minutes.

In the development of flexibility, as in any other business, the main thing is not to overdo it. Forcing the tensile force and excessive loads can lead to microtrauma, as well as discourage interest in classes.

Rich Lyudmila Mikhailovna, a physiotherapist and a specialist in diseases of the musculoskeletal system, spoke about the benefits of exercise for developing flexibility in children. Below is a list of gymnastic exercises that contribute to the healthy development of the child:

1. Butterfly. Starting position: sitting, legs bent at the knees, feet connected together and pulled towards you. Slowly spread your knees, trying to lower and touch them to the floor. Then lean forward and in the same position reach for your hands, trying to touch your legs with your stomach.
2. “Pulls”. Starting position: lying on your back. Stretch your arms and legs in different directions, while tensing your abdominal muscles.
3. “Castle”. Starting position: standing, arms along the body. Raise your right hand up, bend at the elbow joint and place your palm behind your back on the shoulder blade. With your left hand from below, stretch to your right, trying to connect your hands behind your back in a lock. Repeat the same with the other hand.
4. Forward bends. Starting position: standing, legs apart. Stretch your arms down, trying to reach the floor, while keeping your knees straight. It is good if during the performance of all the exercises the child can not hold his breath. Repeat 4-6 times, lingering at the bottom for 3-5 seconds. Gradually teach the child to put his feet closer to each other to increase the amplitude.

Summarizing…

Today’s children, unfortunately, lead a sedentary lifestyle. Even elementary school students spend 5-6 hours at their desks, and then, when they come home, they again sit at the table for several hours doing their homework. And after that, few of them rush to the street to play active games with their peers. As a result, the child is overworked both physically and mentally. And in the evening, all this turns into a tantrum, since the children still cannot control themselves in full.

Stretching just teaches the child not only to feel his tension, but also to relieve it in a timely manner. This will allow him to make the best use of his forces.

The postulate that pain is a sign of quality in sports has long been refuted. Always listen to your body and trust its feelings, because this is the key to successful training and long-awaited sports achievements.

Project activities of students of children’s art schools as a way to modernize additional education ⋆

Kozlov S.B. About DOD “Children’s School of Arts”

settlement Tugulym of the Sverdlovsk region

Today professional orientation has become a very topical topic in the field of additional education. Indeed, in modern conditions of a shortage of vacancies among employers, progressive robotization of production and rising unemployment, the demand for special knowledge, skills and practical experience are of paramount importance. Also important is the possible practical creative connection of students with a potential employer even during the period of study, which, of course, will greatly increase the chances of getting a job with a decent wage. This is understandable if we talk about high school students who have already consciously chosen their future path. And what about the junior and middle managers? Are projects available to them? Do they need her? What character and form can the project activity of younger schoolchildren have?
Let’s try to find answers to these questions. First of all, to the question: do younger students need project activities, the answer is obvious if the term “project activity” for younger students is understood as a form of self-expression of the child, his individual vision of the world and his own idea of ​​the proposed topic.
At the first stage of teaching fine arts, the development of students’ interest in creative activity is of paramount importance. The time spent on classes in a routine forced-edifying form can be confidently considered lost. Since children who are tired of school lessons are unlikely to accept the continuation of school classes (in their understanding) with interest and pleasure. Any game form of teaching younger students in institutions of additional education is preferable, but if we talk about children’s art schools of the academic style, it should not be reduced to circle work on interests. So, a compromise is needed, which allows both to arouse the interest of students in educational activities, and to conduct full-fledged classes according to the training program.
The principle of the primacy of ideas can become such a compromise. That is, the basis of the stage of the curriculum is an idea (any project), the implementation of which requires the acquisition of the necessary knowledge and skills. If children strive to implement an interesting idea, then in order to achieve their goal, they will be willing to study and more successfully master the basic educational material. Ideas or creative projects can be either individual or collective. Parents can also be involved in the implementation of children’s creative projects. For example: aesthetic arrangement of a children’s room, a place for classes or a yard. A very interesting and promising design project for a child’s bed can become. Everyone knows that the bed is the territory that the child considers his property, the world of his fantasies, his universe, where he retires from everything and everyone. Designing and implementing the design of your bed will interest any child. Here, the actual implementation of the idea becomes a necessary condition, the fulfillment of which is impossible without the participation of parents.
If we talk about the project activities of students, then the implementation of creative ideas is of great importance. An unrealized project, on which a lot of effort and time has been spent, is more likely to discourage interest in creative project activities than to activate it. On the contrary, even an insignificant project that has received a material embodiment will become not only a source of pride for the child, but also a powerful incentive for further development and improvement. The possibility of implementing children’s projects should be given priority, therefore, when planning project activities in the educational process, one should, first of all, think about the relevance of the project and its practical implementation.

Examples of collective creative design activities can be projects for the improvement of the school yard or public places, school interior design.
Usually, in addition to the departments of fine and decorative arts, there are music and theater departments in children’s art schools and other institutions of additional education. It is not uncommon for the same children to simultaneously attend both the department of fine and decorative arts and the music or theater department. For example, the development of a design for a puppet show, which includes the design of stage scenery, the development and production of puppet characters, can become a collective children’s project work. If a child is involved in the play, then he will certainly be interested in creating the image of his hero according to his own vision, and he will participate with great enthusiasm in the play with the doll he created.

There are many such examples of project activities of younger students. The main and indispensable condition for this activity is the personal, authorial participation of children, their involvement in the process of the birth of the idea itself and in all further stages of its implementation.
When involving middle-aged schoolchildren in project activities, it is desirable to take into account the individual interests of children, their capabilities and inclinations for any activity, their sphere of hobbies. At this level, it is quite possible to implement more significant creative projects. For example: designing the interiors of a school, a classroom, making themed layouts for a school museum, and the like. It should be taken into account that even at the stage of the emergence of an idea, it is necessary to coordinate actions with the school administration, the class teacher, the head of the museum, since the main goal is to implement the idea. A child involved in such a project should feel its importance, involvement in the cause, the result of which will remain for many years.

At this stage of the project activity, students can actively develop their primary professional design and construction skills, introduce them to the basics of professional design and design activities. This work will require an in-depth study of drawing, volume-scale modeling, geometric and mathematical calculations, as well as search and research work.
The project work of middle-aged schoolchildren will not only bring them closer to professional training, but will also reveal individual inclinations and preferences, which in the future will determine the direction of preparatory work in the chosen specialization.
For high school students, professional orientation in the field of additional education should become a priority. And here project activity can take a leading position, and not only in fine arts or design. To paraphrase a well-known saying, I would say this: it is better to try once than to see a hundred times. You can sit next to the driver a hundred times and admire his work, but the real excitement and satisfaction from driving will come only when you get the opportunity to drive yourself. High school students may well become authors or co-authors of large, socially significant projects. Such as landscape design, arrangement of recreation areas and parks of a village or city, the creation of monuments and places of worship, the design of springs and wells, the design of mass celebrations and much more. Of course, the implementation of such projects depends entirely on the administration of the local authorities, and the coordination of the proposed design work should be carried out at the initial stage.
In order for such a project to take place, first of all, both high school students and their leader must interest the administration and demonstrate their competence. For the administration, such a proposal may be interesting, since it is known that design developments are not cheap. Students of institutions of additional education perform such work, as a rule, on a voluntary basis or for a very nominal fee. Nevertheless, the conditional income of high school students can be considered not only the accumulated practical experience, but also a portfolio, which in the future can provide an invaluable service when entering a higher educational institution in the chosen specialty.
In the work on large projects, students can put into practice the acquired professional knowledge, get acquainted not only with the creative design part of the project activity, but also with the material and technical side, learn the basics of materials science, design estimates. That is, to get a complete picture of the chosen profession.
In 2015, students of the Tugulym Children’s Art School developed and presented to the Tugulym District Administration a project for the reconstruction of the Alley of Glory. The development included not only sketch drawings, but also large-scale models of the Walk of Fame itself and the proposed compositions. Design work was carried out on the calculation and production of drawings of frames, bases of steles and the “Bayonets” monument. For the manufacture of architectural compositions, we proposed fiberglass and a new composite material based on polyester resins, the so-called “artificial marble”. Work on the project included carrying out calculations of the strength and stability of structures to aerodynamic loads and atmospheric precipitation. An approximate calculation of the cost of materials, the manufacture of architectural compositions, their structural elements and installation work was also calculated and presented.
In the future, in my opinion, it would be nice to introduce such works into the practice of graduation projects for graduates of children’s art schools of the departments of fine, decorative and applied arts. Moreover, in my deep conviction, there is a need to create design departments in children’s art schools, and possibly some professionally specialized departments. If, for example, in a city or village there is an enterprise specializing in the production of products with an artistic basis, then the initial targeted training of future specialists will be of interest to the management of the enterprise. In this case, close cooperation between the enterprise and the children’s art school can be carried out, and students can count on reserving jobs for them.

The self-supporting activity of high school students could also be a good practical experience. Work for material reward should instill in students a sense of responsibility for their work. Children can gain experience in communicating with customers, which is of great importance in the work of a designer. Self-supporting activities of high school students in children’s art schools of the departments of fine and decorative arts can be carried out in the following areas:
1. Design developments and services (from small private orders to large-scale design projects in various areas, including interior and landscape design).
2. Fulfillment of individual orders of arts and crafts.
3. Performance of works in sculpture, painting and graphics.
4. Development of design for various events.
5. Conducting master classes in painting, graphics, arts and crafts and folk crafts.
6. Development of advertising, logos, banners, advertising booklets.
As a result, it can be stated with confidence that the development of students’ project activities should become a significant contribution in addition to traditional academic teaching in children’s art schools. It is quite possible that the principle of design activity can be applied not only by the departments of fine and decorative arts. Perhaps teachers of music, choreography, theater and other arts will find their own forms of project activities that can have an effective impact on the success of the educational process.

Self-government system

The system of children’s school parliament in 2007 passed the stage of reform. The structure of class and school self-government has changed. The highest legislative body of children’s self-government of the school is the conference. The permanent legislature is the school parliament. Parliament is formed on an elective basis. On September 21, the first elections of the president of the school parliament and representatives to the children’s City School Parliament were held.

On the basis of the activities of the parliament, ministries were formed: education, culture, sports, press, social policy and labor. The ministries included representatives of small towns – classes. The prime ministers are the teachers of the school. Elections for city administrations were held in the classrooms.

The purpose of the self-government reform was to intensify the social activity of students, create conditions for versatile activities, for self-realization and self-adaptation of the individual, for establishing links with out-of-school organizations.

The first result of the changes was the formation of the leadership team of the children’s school parliament. This made it possible to create conditions for the joint activities of the Parliament, children’s associations and the City School Parliament.
