“Project Florida”: children in pink hell

Getting into the list of formal contenders for an honorary, albeit rapidly turning into a joke award, this blatantly typical example of North American independent cinema is due to the participation of Willem Dafoe, who pretended to compete with the brilliant duo Rockwell-Harrelson from the “Three Billboards” in the fight for the right to be called the best male supporting actor… Pretend – because, firstly, in this category, no ideology of goodness and light could leave Martin McDonagh’s film without awards, and secondly , this wonderful actor did not show anything outstanding in the “Project”.0003

It’s just that this is the role – no artistic tricks and fireworks, even local ones, not implying. The administrator of a cheap motel, in the cramped rooms of which the most miserable of the declassed strata of American society found their last refuge. He tries to combine innate philanthropy with the responsible performance of his work duties. On duty, he is hourly confronted with the charms of the underside of capitalism and tries to keep the unfortunate “wards” afloat, realizing that allowing them to fall even lower means denying them the right to exist, and at the same time resists their attempts to sit on his neck. A normal, in short, decent man in a difficult position that requires strong nerves and emotional stability, and sometimes the ability to use physical force.

Only the story is not about him, but about those same doomed lumpens swarming in this hell, painted with cheerful colors loved in the state of Florida. And first of all – about their children, left to their own devices, while parents are trying by hook or by crook to earn a few bucks and at the same time manage to grab at least a crumb of personal happiness.

Mooney Girl (a budding talent named Brooklyn Prince), the daughter of a young single mother who trades in burned-out perfumes in parking lots and does not disdain prostitution, staggers with friends through the picturesque southern suburbs, curiously studying the kingdom of vice and poverty around her. It does not frighten the child at all, because she does not know another – even though the huge Disneyland (its first name gave the film its name) is at hand: it is built for completely different children.

Instead of plunging into fairy-tale fantasies, where young heroes of modern films hide more and more often, Muni and her peers cheerfully and soberly in their own way, with early awakening cynicism, probe their native social bottom. No imaginary adventure is needed when you can, for example, explore the ruins scattered widely around the neighborhood or spit on the windshield of a neighbor’s car. And it’s easy to do without fictional monsters if quite specific and completely adult troubles loom behind major pranks.

Muni knows what “adult troubles” are well and in detail – with such and such a mother (she was played by an unprofessional actress Bria Vinayte, who is not at all lost against the background of such a bison as Defoe). It would be unfair to accuse the latter of a lack of love for her child. No, she is the complete opposite of the heroes of Andrei Zvyagintsev’s latest misanthropic opus: it’s just that this burden is too heavy for her.

Without a small injection of salvific escapism, the author of the picture, Sean Baker, does not leave his heroine, obviously, in order to prevent his deceptively light work from being soaked through with everyday hopelessness. And with a naively open ending, the transformation of the Florida Project into a kind of “Land of the Tides” turned inside out completes.0003

Florida Chanturia – biography, photo, personal life, husband and children, height and weight 2022

Biography of Florida Chanturia

Florida Chanturia is a Russian singer, since 2016 she has been a soloist of the Leningrad musical group, who, together with Vasilisa Starshova, replaced Alice Vox.

Childhood and youth

Florida was born on March 30, 1990 in Bashkortostan, in the small town of Beloretsk.

Florida Chanturia as a child

Florida Chanturia is not a pseudonym, but the real name of the artist. Chanturia says that her mother liked this name from her youth – ever since she met a girl named Florida during a cruise on a ship.

Florida Chanturia with mom

Chanturia has been involved in music since childhood: in addition to a comprehensive school, Florida also attended a music school, and after receiving a certificate, the girl moved to St. Petersburg, where she entered the jazz and pop department of the State University of Culture and Arts.

Musical career

Florida began her career as a singer with performances in the Marmalade cover band and work in karaoke clubs, including the famous Gelsomino Cafe by Ginza Project.

Florida Chanturia started working in karaoke bars

In the spring of 2016, the soloist of the Leningrad group, Alisa Voks, who at one time replaced Yulia Kogan, announced her departure from the band. Shortly thereafter, a friend called Florida and said that he had given her phone to one of the band members. A few days later, the girl auditioned and was accepted into the famous team. It is noteworthy that Florida is familiar with Alisa Vox, who left the group – many years ago the girls started together in the Plywood bar.

Florida Chanturia became the soloist of the Leningrad group in 2016

Chanturia says that in a karaoke party everyone knows each other, and calls about castings are not uncommon, while a chance to get into such a popular project is a rarity. After the casting, Florida introduced her mother to the work of “Leningrad” – at first the artist’s mother did not understand their music, but then she was imbued with her daughter’s new occupation.

For the first time in the 18-year history of Leningrad, two girls joined the group at once: together with Chanturia, Vasilisa Starshova was accepted into the group, with whom Florida was also already familiar. Before the first concert, which took place on March 24 at Stadium Life in Moscow, only three rehearsals took place. According to Florida, she and Vasilisa already knew the entire repertoire of the group, because guests of karaoke clubs very often sing Leningrad songs.

Florida Chanturia and Vasilisa Starshova

In the first months of work, Florida and Vasilisa had to endure many difficulties – many fans of the band did not want to accept new soloists, called them mediocre and reproached for the lack of a voice, but the girls managed to improve the situation for the better.

In the first two years of work in the updated line-up, the singles Kolshchik, Ecstasy, Ch.P.Kh., Candidate, Voyage and others were recorded, and Chanturia also took part in a large-scale tour in honor of the 20th the anniversary of Leningrad and the anniversary concert at the Otkritie Arena stadium, which gathered a record number of spectators.

Since July 2017, Florida has been performing without Vasilisa Starshova, who left the group for personal reasons.

30 Brilliant Test Answers From Smartass Kids

You probably still remember the horror of taking a test at school. All quivering and trembling you sat there and either scribbled the answers as fast as you could or just stared blankly at the letters-turned-hieroglyphs understanding nothing. If it were such a case, you would probably leave the page all blank or, being a good kid that you were, tried to come up with a plausible answer for a question which subjects you couldn’t understand at all. The smart kids in the list below fall in neither of the categories. These bright pupils came up with the funniest test answers harnessing the powers of puns and their creativity. Reasons for choosing to answer the questions this way are unknown, but we have a strong feeling, that the hard questions brought out some A-class smartasses out.

The tricky question, though, is if a kid answers to a problem on a test in an incorrect but smart manner, should they be credited or penalized for it? Below, you can find 30 brainy and funny test answers that will make you wonder what’s better – the correct or the apt solution.

Naturally, the best-case scenario would be that one’s students would understand all of the material they’re being tested on and answer the questions correctly. But what about the argument that a strict educational environment can stifle creativity and intellectual development? For better or for worse, these test-takers either chose to create a smart and funny test answer or, when they failed to come up with the right solution for a weird question they did not understand, came up with a creative one. Should all kids be penalized for thinking outside of the box and coming up with innovative solutions to problems?

Now don’t get us wrong – not all of these answers raise this excellent question. Some are just hilarious fails. Take a look at our compilation of funny kid test answers below!

One hundred thousand why, or how to answer children’s questions

You can often hear the expression: “First, parents teach children to talk and walk, and then sit and be silent.” This slightly paraphrased expression belongs to Marcel Pagnol. Why is that? Children are very inquisitive by nature, they strive to collect as much knowledge about the world as possible. Parents are the first and most important source of this knowledge for children. However, a flurry of a wide variety of children’s questions can confuse even the most sophisticated parent. What is the importance of children’s questions? Do I need to answer all the children’s questions? And how to answer them if you don’t know the answer? Today in the heading “I. You. We” we will try to understand this topic.

The child’s cognitive interest is the basis and driving force of his development. In the first years of life, a child learns the world by feeling and licking all the available objects of his environment. As he grows up, he masters a new tool of cognition – speech. Speech is a powerful tool that allows you to explore the world on a completely new level, on the level of meanings. In the process of formulating questions and thinking about answers to them, the child’s mental abilities develop. The quality of the questions a child asks reflects his level of development. Encouraging a child to ask, an adult stimulates cognitive interest and creates an intellectually developing environment.

Before answering a child’s question, an adult needs to understand what underlies it. As mentioned earlier, a child’s question is the key to knowledge, and since the world is very contradictory and the most diverse information comes from it, the child needs numerous clarifications. Asking a question again and again, the child is convinced: yes, I understood everything correctly, and I already know this piece of the world. In addition to cognition, there are other reasons for many children’s questions. So the “I’ll ask mom” ritual is a way or a request to confirm that the baby is significant and loved, they listen to his needs and words, and are ready to communicate with him. In this case, the answer is not so much important for the child as the attention of the adult and communication with him is important. Sometimes a baby needs questions to express his feelings. So, the abundance of questions after the death of one of the relatives or the loss of pets is necessary for the child to cope with pain, to learn to survive the loss of loved ones. There are questions that grow out of fear. What is most frightening is that which is not clear, by answering the questions of the baby, we remove the element of uncertainty and drive away fear.

Even though most children entering the “why-why” age ask tons of questions, there are children who don’t ask any or very few questions. One of the reasons may be a decrease in cognitive activity as a feature of the development of modern children. Thus, the head of the Department of Developmental Psychology, Faculty of Psychology, Moscow State University. M. Lomonosova Olga Karabanova at the IV All-Russian Congress of Preschool Education Workers noticed that children are literally “overfed” with various data. Their brain is constantly receiving various information. As a result, the children no longer ask the necessary questions to their parents. “One of the features of the development of modern children is that they live and are brought up in an information society, and the problem of an extremely low level of curiosity of children arises. The level of cognitive motivation is extremely low, children are “overfed” with information, they do not experience the desire, aspiration that was previously characteristic of children and made it possible to describe preschool childhood as the age of “why-why”, the age of curiosity,” Olga Karabanova noted. The expert considers this trend quite alarming.

However, a decrease in cognitive activity is not the only reason for a child’s lack of questions. So, difficulties with speech, delayed speech development, emotional problems (self-doubt, crisis in the family), cognitive retardation (situations when the child does not yet understand that communication with others is a source of information) – all this can be the reason the absence of questions from the child and certainly should alert the adult.
A normally active and inquisitive child asks questions, and the information received prompts him to ask even more. The task of an adult at this stage is to preserve the curiosity of the baby and help to enjoy learning. If a child feels that his questions are inappropriate, that he interferes with adults and annoys them, he will not seek to expand his knowledge.

A little son asks his dad:

—Dad, why is the grass green?
— Who knows her.
—Dad, why are the stars only visible at night?
— Who knows.
—Dad, I must have bored you with my questions?
— No, son, you ask. Who will explain everything to you, except for the folder?

And in order not to turn out like in a joke, let’s analyze the most typical answers of adults to children’s questions.

“Answer-excuse”. Answers from the series: “Grow up – you will know”, “Because”. Such answers save our time, but do not carry any information, moreover, they broadcast that the question asked is stupid and does not deserve a worthy answer. This also includes the answers: “Because God decided so” or “This is how the world works”, if there is no goal of religious education, such an answer also does not carry any understandable information and does not tell the child anything. At best, such answers give rise to new questions: “Who is God?”, “How does the world work?” and now they will have to be answered.

Scientific answer . In attempts to answer honestly, an adult does not notice how he begins to use complex terms and formulas or calculations that are not yet available to the child. When answering the most primitive questions, it is important to adapt all the information taking into account the age of the child, avoiding unnecessary details and complex examples.

“Fabulous answer”. Wishing to simplify and make the answer interesting, we can also get carried away and start inventing. For example: “The grass is green because one magical artist painted it green with his brush.” Fairy-tale answers do not correspond to reality, which sooner or later the child will encounter, and you will have to explain the reasons for such fiction.

“Answer with options”. Because the world is so diverse, there are no clear answers to many questions. So by offering several answers, we broaden our horizons and encourage reflection. However, answers should not be overly detailed. An answer with options is especially good when we have our own reasoned opinion.

“Answer-Question”. It will not always be possible to answer a question with a question, since this is a rather complicated option and the child may simply not have the necessary knowledge. However, thinking together on a question can be very helpful, in this way we develop the logic and speech skills of the child.

So, how do you answer children’s questions? Let’s formulate several basic principles of the answer:

 The child does not need to know more than he asked. Answer simply.
Too detailed answers or attempts to predict questions are detrimental to children’s curiosity.
 Answer truthfully, adapting the answer to the age of the child.
If you don’t know the answer, just confess it to the kid. And look for the answer together. Such an approach will only strengthen your authority, but a lie, on the contrary, will destroy it. Sooner or later, you still have to explain the reasons for lying.
 Answer seriously. Avoid ridicule if you want your child to continue asking you questions.
 Try to understand what exactly is behind the question.

As mentioned earlier, a question is not always a need for knowledge. Sometimes a request for attention and a signal of fear.

Ways to find answers to children’s tricky questions:

1. Search engines. Search algorithms are constantly being improved and you can get an answer to almost any question.
2. Theoretical site for adults (http://sfaq.ru/) “Stupid Frequently Asked Questions”. Many questions can also be from children, for example: “Is it possible to find out the age of a ladybug by the number of black dots”, “Can a bird hatch from a shop egg if you take care of it”, etc.
3. Q&A services for adults.
Russian-language versions: TheQuestion (thequestion.ru), Askee – questions and answers (askee.ru), genon (genon.ru).
4. Children’s sites for answering questions.

Why is it important to answer children’s questions?

It’s no secret that kids are constantly asking questions. Little “why” are interested in everything around! Why do fish have fins? Why don’t clouds fall? Why is sugar sweet? How do birds fly? Why do I eat needles? The questions that a child asks sometimes take adults by surprise, and more often they even tire them. However, it is very important not to ignore the baby and try to formulate the answer in such a way that not only satisfies the child’s curiosity, but also leaves room for his imagination and independent thinking. About why it is important to answer children’s questions and how to do it, we will talk with you today.

About the importance of children’s questions

Preschool age is often called the age of “why-why”. During this period, children begin to be interested not only in the names of objects, but also in their purpose. This is due to the fact that children actively develop speech, vocabulary increases, knowledge about the world accumulates, which needs to be streamlined. A child of 3-5 years old asks the maximum number of questions about everything in the world. The main authority and source of information for the baby is a close adult, which is why all the “why?” and why?” usually directed towards him. Answering the questions of the baby, you stimulate his cognitive activity and encourage the love of knowledge.

Preschoolers actively explore the world around them, but many things seem incomprehensible and even mysterious to them. If the baby has a large number of questions, this is a sign that the child is interested in learning new things.

Children usually ask questions of those they trust. The kids are waiting to be listened to with interest and give a clear answer. If an adult ignores the child’s questions because he has no time or they seem unimportant, this is a serious obstacle to establishing a trusting relationship. Even the most interesting book or educational cartoon cannot replace warm communication with a loved one. When parents respect the questions their toddler asks, the child gets used to asking them questions, rather than looking for answers somewhere else or acting rashly. This habit will serve you well when your baby is in their teens.

Often the child asks the same question several times or asks ridiculous questions. Perhaps in this way the baby is looking for a way to attract attention.

Answers to children’s questions

A child’s question can be answered in different ways. How you formulate the answer will depend on whether the baby will understand it, whether it can not only satisfy children’s curiosity, but also push the child to further reflection, and whether your authority in the eyes of the crumbs will be strengthened. That is why it is very important not to hurry with the answer and think it over. Let’s look at the most common types of answers using the example of the question “Why does a rainbow appear in the sky?” and analyze them.

1. Dummy answers: “Because”, “They will tell you about it at school”, “You are still small, you will find out when you grow up”. Answering in this way, the adult, as it were, reassures himself that he did not completely ignore the question. But for a child, this means that either his question is not interesting, or you do not know the answer to it. If the baby is constantly faced with “empty” answers, he may stop asking questions altogether, and adults will lose authority in his eyes.

2. References to the laws of the universe: “The world is arranged in such a way that a rainbow appears after rain”, “It happens according to the laws of physics”. Such answers, at first glance, may seem very significant and intelligent. But in fact, the child does not receive a significant answer to his question.

3. Scientific “abstruse” answers: “Monochromatic sunlight, reaching drops of water concentrated in the air, is refracted, reflected and decomposed into a spectrum.” It is unlikely that a preschooler will understand such an explanation. Perhaps some children will be interested in the meanings of words unfamiliar to them and will ask “what is monochrome?” or “what is the spectrum?”, but the very essence of the rainbow phenomenon will remain unclear.

It is not always easy to formulate an answer to a child’s question, because in order for it to be understandable, first of all, it is necessary to focus on the child’s already existing ideas about the world.

4. Fairy-tale answers: “Leprechauns are moving along them”, “It was the fairy who waved her magic wand”. Such answers are suitable only for the smallest. When the child grows up, it is possible that he will ask his question again and will no longer be satisfied with such an answer.

5. Provocative answers: “Why is the rainbow multicolored?”, “Why does it look like an arc?”, “Can you see a rainbow at night?”. Such responses give the child food for thought and show the adult’s willingness to discuss the topic. Answers in the form of questions encourage a joint search for truth and kindle children’s curiosity.

6. Multiple answers: “Scientists believe that white light, falling on raindrops, turns into a multi-colored rainbow … When I was a child, I thought that a rainbow was a road by which you could go around the whole Earth.” Multiple choice answers make it clear to the child that there are different opinions. As a result of reflection, the baby can understand whose point of view is the most correct.

7. Essential answers: “In nature, a rainbow can be seen when the sun begins to shine after rain. Sunlight only looks white, but it is actually made up of many colors. When a ray of light passes through a raindrop, it changes direction slightly and splits into seven colors.” If you managed to formulate the answer briefly and clearly, the baby will be happy. It is advisable to leave a little reticence so that the child can independently reflect on the topic of interest to him.

Paying attention to all the children’s “why?”, “why?” and “how?”, you raise your baby to be a thoughtful and interesting conversationalist.

How to answer children’s questions: general principles

• Respect the child’s right to questions. If the question is asked, it means that the baby is interested in knowing the answer. It is difficult to overestimate the importance of cognitive motivation for the development of a preschool child, so the task of an adult is to satisfy the curiosity of the baby, even if the question seems ridiculous and insignificant. Children who know that their parents are always ready to answer everyday questions are more likely to trust them and their innermost experiences.

• Be patient. If the child repeatedly repeats the same question, do not ignore it. Perhaps the baby did not penetrate the essence of the answer, or he just wants your attention.

• The “here and now” rule. Often children’s questions arise under the impression of something, therefore, when emotions come to naught, they can be forgotten over time. Putting things aside for a while and taking the time to answer, you show respect for the interests of the child.

• If you don’t know how to answer, look up the answer with your child. If you have forgotten and do not know the answer to a question that interests your child, do not be afraid to openly admit it. Invite your child to look for the answer together on the Internet or in an encyclopedia. Such a position of an adult will only strengthen his authority in the eyes of a child and will be an excellent example of the fact that knowledge is not always given in finished form – they need to be sought.

• Ask your child for their opinion. A ready-made answer does not always give the child the opportunity to think on his own, so sometimes it is necessary to offer the child to put forward a version himself. Thus, the child will understand that by thinking and having a dialogue, you can learn a lot of interesting things.

The “why-why” age is the time when you can instill in your child a love for independent discoveries and teach them to look for answers to a variety of questions.

If the baby does not ask questions

The number of questions the baby asks usually decreases as he gets older. But there are times when even a small child in the midst of the “why” age is practically not interested in anything. This disturbing “symptom” may indicate disharmony in the parent-child relationship or the inner experiences of the baby. Loss of interest in the outside world can occur if the child does not receive answers to his questions or is faced with aggression and irritation from adults. Of course, first of all, it is necessary to establish relationships with the child and, if necessary, consult with a family or child psychologist. If the baby does not experience serious psychological problems, special games will help encourage him to ask questions. You can invite your child to become a journalist for a while and interview you, asking about what interests him. To make it easier for the baby, it is best to limit the questions to a specific topic, for example, work or any hobby. There is also a wonderful game “Danetki”, in which, in order to win, you need to ask the “right” questions. And, of course, you need to try to answer the child’s questions in detail, if they arise, ask questions to the baby himself, push him to dialogue and joint exploration of the world.

The ability to ask questions is an art that a person begins to learn from childhood. Only regular practice will help the baby openly express his interest and not be afraid of being ridiculed or rejected.

Conclusions

Sometimes parents in the flow of everyday affairs do not attach importance to children’s questions, considering them stupid and meaningless. However, for children, questions are one of the most important ways of knowing the world. Who, if not a loved one, will the baby ask about what worries him? By showing respect for your little one’s questions, you are contributing to the development of his curiosity, as well as establishing and maintaining a trusting relationship with him.

Conclusion

General developmental classes for children of early and preschool age in the Montessori club “Constellation” are aimed, among other things, at forming a holistic picture of the world in children. We are sure that the child does not need to wait for admission to school to learn all the most interesting things about the world around. That is why our teachers are happy to answer children’s questions and in every possible way stimulate the cognitive activity of children. We are waiting for you in class!

Question : In what order does the baby’s speech develop? What are the reasons for the delay in the speech development of a child? Answer: The baby’s speech develops as follows: “animation complex” (2 – 2.5 months), cooing (2 – 4 months), babbling, imitation (5 – 6 months), phonemes of the native language; understanding of some words and understanding of the speech situation as a whole (by 8 months), pronunciation of the first words by 1 year. The reasons for the delay in speech development can be: deficiencies in the development of the analyzer systems of hearing and vision, speech-motor analyzer; fear of the child, caused by the fact that a positive emotional background was not created in a timely manner; lack of sufficient verbal communication between an adult and a child. Question: Misha really likes throwing toys out of the bed or playpen. Passing toys through the holes in the netting of the crib or pushing them between the posts of the arena, Misha releases them from his hands: rings, a duckling, a rattle, etc. fall. Mom constantly picks up toys and puts them in the crib, or playpen, and the son takes them out and throws them on the floor again. How should a mother deal with this situation? Answer: Mom should give Misha the opportunity to move around in a fairly large space, preferably on the floor or carpet. In this case, the child himself takes the objects he needs, actively learns their properties, which contributes to the development of visually effective thinking in him. Question: Misha (1 year 3 months) still has difficulty with words, and he often resorts to gestures. Mother, realizing what he wants. Here he fulfills his desires. “Does the rapid satisfaction of the needs of the child affect the development of his speech?” Answer: Rapid satisfaction of the need to be understood without pronunciation of words can slow down the development of a child’s speech. An adult should encourage the child to name his desires in words in order for the child to correctly form his own active speech. Question: Misha (2 years 2 months) does not sit still for a minute, if you give him a pencil and paper, he will draw a little and throw it under the table, grab the typewriter, move it and also throw it. Having run around the room, he immediately climbs onto a chair, then onto a sofa, etc. “How to explain the rapid change of Misha’s actions?”. Answer: Misha’s rapid change in actions can be explained by the predominance of excitation over inhibition in him. But this may also be due to the fact that the boy has not yet been taught to act with concentration on one object, revealing its features. Mom needs to teach Misha, in joint actions with her, to purposefully do one thing for quite a long time, while explaining the properties of individual objects. Question: Pavlik (2 years 4 months old) is trying to dress himself. Groaning, he pulls on his pantyhose. Nothing works. His mother intervenes with her help. – I’m on my own! the child protests. – Sit still, nothing works for you. – I want it myself! the kid says again. “Can Pavlik’s behavior be considered stubbornness or is it a manifestation of a developing personality?” Answer: Pavlik cannot be considered stubborn. In his behavior, the first elements of self-consciousness are manifested, a desire for independence is noticeable. An adult encourages only the reasonable independence of the child. In this version, the child’s behavior is a manifestation of his developing personality. Question: There is an opinion among some parents that the shortcomings of their children: laziness, disobedience, stubbornness, unwillingness to study are predetermined by heredity. Answer: With this view of education, it is not difficult to conclude that the child develops independently of our efforts. It is enough to grow it healthy – everything else will happen by itself. The persistence of the theory of heredity among parents is associated with their low level of psychological and pedagogical literacy. In addition, many parents, not wanting to be involved in raising their children, believe that they will grow up and develop themselves. If parents do not like something in children, then they justify their inactivity by hereditary factors. In case of failure in raising a child, one can refer to his unfavorable heredity. It is easier to say: “He was born like that”, “He got a bear in his ear” – and thereby relieve himself of responsibility for raising a child. Question: It is known that the example of parents, whom children imitate, plays an important role in the development of a child. Why sometimes hard-working parents raise lazy and passive children? Answer: A positive example plays a certain role in education. But we must remember that skills, skills and even such personality traits as diligence, perseverance are formed only in activity. Parents who have “golden hands” may overwhelm their children and demand high quality performance. And since children cannot complete the task at the same high level, they generally stop doing something. Sometimes parents perceive the participation of children in something only as an effective help in achieving a practical result. They do not realize that the activity of the child is necessary for his development. An important and joint activity of the child, so that the preschooler sees and, together with the adult, overcomes the difficulties encountered. Mutual understanding between parents and children is born in joint activities. Most often, it is in joint activities that parents become an example for their child. Question: The mother of a boy (4 years 7 months) turned to the teacher for advice: what to do with her son, who is becoming more and more stubborn? She said that the boy’s father and grandfather were stubborn. “Maybe it’s hereditary,” Mom asked. Answer: Mom’s worries are not unfounded, but she is wrong in her judgments. The emergence of stubbornness as unmotivated perseverance is affected not by heredity, but by improper upbringing. In children, stubbornness can be a form of protest, an expression of dissatisfaction with the unreasonable suppression of the developing independence and initiative of the child. Question: How can one explain that children, despite the fact that they have building materials and construction sets of various types and types, are not engaged in constructive activities? Answer: There are several reasons. Among them, the most important are: Lack of appropriate motivation for activities; Absence or incorrect training on the part of an adult (children were not introduced to the properties of the parts of the designers, with the features of their use; their constructive activities were not organized). Question: Why shouldn’t parents bombard a child with remarks like: “You can’t do that”; “you don’t know this”; “You won’t succeed”; “Don’t bother me with empty questions,” etc. Answer: When communicating with parents like this, a child can develop an inferiority complex – one of the most difficult moral shortcomings of a person, which makes it difficult for him to communicate with other people and creates a difficult inner state of health. Example: Misha (5 years old) was surrounded from early childhood by his grandparents and another grandmother, his grandfather’s sister. They warned his slightest desire, every step, every thought. Watching from the side, it was difficult to determine: what kind of character does this boy have, what does he like? What annoys him? What is of interest? Who is he? Misha was perfectly obedient. I’ll say “go” – it’s coming, I’ll say “sit down” – sit down. If they don’t say anything, they’ll just stand there like a pillar. Grandma and Grandpa didn’t care. On the contrary, they were delighted with the puppetry of the boy. They were worried about only one thing: Misha stuttered. Sometimes slightly, sometimes very noticeable. There was no mother in Misha’s life. She spoke with her son on Sundays. Grandmothers decided to free the young woman from unnecessary troubles. It would be nice to give Misha more independence, the neighbors suggested. For example, he can already walk alone in the yard under the window, of course. – What are you! the trinity of nannies was horrified. — But he’s going to school soon. — So what? His mother was taken to school and to the institute by the hand. Comments: In this situation, such important factors of the child’s mental development as activity and social environment (children’s community) are not involved. Such overprotection generates and multiplies children’s fears. Protecting the child from danger, adults sow fears in him. The surrounding world turns into a terrible one for the child: the dog bites, the car crushes … Such a nightmarish world for the child’s psyche is simply unbearable. Overprotectiveness also has more distant, negative consequences: early marriage – just to get out of the parental wing as soon as possible; “remains a child until old age,” doomed to slavish dependence, first from his parents, then from his wife or husband. Example: Olya’s mother (4 years old) tries to help her daughter in everything, chooses toys, clothes, food, etc. for her in advance. It seems to her that she knows better what her daughter needs in each specific case. For example: “Here you are,” says mom, “a new toy, it’s good and you’ll like it.” Nina’s mother (4 years 5 months) tries to create situations where her daughter could choose toys, food, clothes for herself. For example, she says to her daughter: “Today you can wear a bright, beautiful dress, but it will quickly get dirty. And you can wear something else that is not very smart, but not easily soiled. Each time they (mother and daughter) together, in each case determine the advantages and disadvantages of this or that thing, this or that situation. Comments: In the upbringing of the 1st mother, there are no contradictory situations. She decides everything for the child. The 2nd mother tries to create situations so that her daughter would have to resolve these contradictions herself. And the contradiction is the source of self-movement and development of the objective world and knowledge, and the ability to “work” with them is the most important component of creative thinking. Mom teaches Nina to identify contradictory properties of objects and phenomena of the surrounding world. And this is a step towards solving a specific problem. Olya’s mother, in her upbringing, spares her daughter’s psyche, takes her away from contradictions. This is a gross mistake. Question: Parents often complain: “I talk, I tell the child – and it’s all to no avail …” “Why is this happening, what is the reason?”. Answer: This regularity is connected with the fact that the most correct words remain words passing by the addressee’s consciousness. Listening and hearing are different concepts! The word heard should be not only understandable, but also accepted by the child. And this can happen when the parents by their own example convince him of the need for this action. Don’t forget to encourage your child. Example: Petya (6 years old) was playing with a ball in the room and broke a vase. When my mother began to ask in the evening who did it, Petya said that Sasha, his younger brother, did it. Mom began to reproach her son, saying that he was lying. Comments: The lie of a child begins to develop if the need for a truthful attitude towards other people is not formed. In a situation of “double motivation”, in order to be recognized by an adult, the child resorts to lies. A lie is observed as a side effect of the development of the need for cognition, as a compensation for the insufficiency of volitional behavior: the child cannot commit an act that would contribute to his recognition, and therefore resorts to lies. Mom must trust the child, expressing confidence that he will no longer humiliate himself with a lie. It is important to develop the will of the child, to form the need to act honestly. To do this, it is necessary to exercise him in honest deeds. The situation of success and its creation “It’s okay… “Sometimes people are afraid…” “Do you remember that…..” “You will succeed…” “Only you can succeed…” “We need this so badly, for….” “That part of you is wonderful!”. Advice to parents Do it! Rejoice in your son, daughter. Talk to your child in a caring, encouraging tone. When your child is talking to you, listen carefully without interrupting. Set clear and specific requirements for your child. In a conversation with a child, name as many objects as possible, their signs, actions with them. Your explanations should be simple and clear. Speak clearly, clearly. Be patient. First ask “What” and then “What for and why”. Read to your child every day and discuss what you read. Encourage your child to ask questions. Encourage your child’s curiosity, curiosity and imagination. Praise your child more often. Encourage play with other children. Make sure your child has new experiences to talk about. Try to have your child do something around the house with you. Buy records of your child’s favorite songs, poems and fairy tales and let him listen to them over and over again. Try to show interest in what he likes to do (collecting, painting, etc.). Take your child to the library regularly. Be an example for a child: let him see what pleasure you get from reading newspapers, magazines, books. Keep your sense of humor. Play different games with your child. Do something together as a family. Help your child learn his first name, last name, address. Don’t! Do not interrupt the child, do not say that you understand everything, do not turn away until the child has finished talking – in other words, do not let him suspect that you are of little interest in what he is talking about. Don’t ask too many questions. Do not force your child to do something they are not ready for. Do not force a child to do anything if he is fidgeting, tired, upset. Don’t ask too much – it will take a long time before the child learns to clean up after himself toys or tidy his room. You should not constantly correct the child, repeating every now and then: “Not so, redo it.” Do not criticize the child in front of other people. Don’t make a lot of rules for your child: he will stop paying attention to them. Don’t get overly anxious about every change in the baby forward or some regression. Do not compare the child with any other children: neither with his brother (sister), nor with neighbors, nor with his friends or relatives. Consult more often with specialists, other parents, read books on upbringing.

Q&A: “Morning Awakening”

Q: “Every morning I endure a little battle in my own house. The child does not want to get up, refuses to get dressed, asks to lie still for a minute, etc. It takes him so long to get ready that he has to be constantly urged on. By the time we leave the house, I feel tired and irritated. Is there a way out of this situation”

Answer: Morning is the most difficult and difficult time for a child, requiring especially careful attitude and attention from adults. Many children and parents start the morning with a kind of duel, because they do not have time to draw up an elementary daily routine and do not resort to the help of a few tricks that I want to share with you:

• Make a daily routine and stick to it! After a few days, the morning will no longer bring you trouble. Be patient and get up 5-10 minutes earlier than necessary for the first two weeks. Then you will work out the ritual of awakening to automatism, and you will no longer need this reserve of time. Buy an alarm clock for your child and teach them how to use it! The melody should be pleasant and cheerful.
• Change the atmosphere of awakening. Make it joyful, infect children with optimism. Turn on a bright light, turn on the radio, walk around the apartment, singing a peppy melody.
• Discuss with the children in a calm environment the activities they need to do each morning. Make a chart or table of fees. Use this chart as a reminder for your child.
• It is very useful if the child’s morning schedule includes a little housework, something for the whole family. Bring the mail, set the table, water the flowers, feed the cat, feed the fish, cut the bread, etc.
• Don’t push your child too hard. Instead, tell him what time it is and when he should be ready. “It’s 7.40 now, in ten minutes you have to finish breakfast and go get dressed.”
• Set a deadline for completing some milestone of collections. It can be, for example, breakfast at 8.00. Use non-verbal reminders to show your child that they haven’t done their pre-breakfast task yet—turn the plate over, remove the utensil from the table, turn off the TV, etc.
• Try to do as much as possible not in the morning, but in the evening. Suppose, to prepare clothes, collect a briefcase and clean the room – it is better in the evening, then in the morning there will be time for a calm awakening.
• Never do for a child what he can do for himself! Teach him, don’t show him how you can do it. There is a great temptation for adults: quickly collect a briefcase, put on clothes, put on shoes, comb your hair, feed and push out the door. But the result is not important, but the experience that the child receives. Spend 15 minutes a day developing self-reliance, and you will get a lifetime of results.

There are circumstances when parents really have to dress their child so as not to be late for work, kindergarten or school. This is perfectly acceptable if you overslept and are really late. However, such circumstances should be the exception, and by no means the rule.

Don’t forget to say to each other: “Good morning!”

Question-answer: “Children’s tantrum, crying, seizures”

Question: “How to deal with a child’s temper tantrum? I’m not talking about a simple scream, no! In our family, hysteria sometimes turns into hysterical fits: the child suffocates, beats his head on the floor, throws himself on the floor and kicks his legs, his face turns red, and his hands clench into fists. Many times we tried not to pay attention to it, but it hurts to look at him in this state. Having received his, the child immediately calms down and for some time becomes downright an angel. I’m dreading what will happen next.”0497 .

Answer: “How many times have they told the world…” Ignore! Show patience and endurance! You can not succumb to the demands of the child, which he makes in the form of tantrums, screams or seizures!

This behavior of the baby has several goals: to get your attention, to get the desired reward, to demonstrate his power over you. If a child succeeds in getting his way with the help of a tantrum, he will resort to this method more and more often. Usually, children make scenes for their mothers, as a last resort, when both parents are present, and almost never such stories happen alone with dads. Why? Maybe the child understands that mom gives up faster and easier?

Fighting hysteria requires patience and calmness .

Remember that tantrums are temporary. With age, they will definitely stop.

If a child begins to choke during a seizure, be calm. Do not rush to save him, do not bother and do not fuss. Sometimes children bring themselves literally to fainting state. This is hard to watch, but it will be even harder if you go at this moment on about the child.

Between the ages of 1 and 3, your baby may develop the habit of banging his head against the wall if he is not given what he wants. Don’t worry. If in all other cases the child behaves perfectly normally, it is better not to pay attention to his antics, and vice versa – to ignore them completely.

If your child has a habit of throwing things around during a tantrum, you can simply take them out of their hands and give them a safe soft toy or pillow instead.

Tantrums often occur when the child has not had enough sleep, is hungry, or is very tired. In this case, accept some of the blame and do not allow similar situations in the future.

Some babies just need to be hugged, cuddled and kissed . Say: “I’m here, I love you.” If the tantrum is in the initial phase – try to distract the child, for example, invite him to go for a walk, give an apple, put on some kind of cartoon. Use such a method of education as deprivation of attention. As soon as the child began to tantrum – get up and leave the room.

Use the ignore method. You can be in the same room with your child (car, office, clinic hall, etc.), but do not talk to him or look at him. Don’t expect an immediate effect. The child, seeing that you remained unperturbed, may triple his attempts. It is here that you need to show willpower in order not to pay attention to these cries: not a gesture, not a look, not a word.

If the tantrum started in a public place (shop, guests, transport), try to get him out of the room. Take the child in your arms (if possible) and go outside. Put on the sidewalk or sit on a bench. Say, “Screaming in a room is uncomfortable, you disturb other people. Well, here you can scream to your heart’s content.”

Ignore the reactions of others. Any adult who has children, at least once, but found himself in your place and understands everything, the rest will simply sympathize with you, if you are at home or walking with a child in the park, use the “joining” method: sit next to you and “shed tears” together with the child; gradually calming down, you force the child to follow you. After the baby has calmed down, hug him and kiss him.

When the hysteria is over, you must act as if nothing happened. If you endure such tension and can strictly follow this rule, after a while you will notice that your baby throws tantrums less and less.

Q&A: “How to wean a child from biting his nails”

Question: “I have a question. My daughter is 3 years old. While watching TV, no matter what she watches, she constantly bites her nails. It is useless to make remarks to her; she also told her about the beauty of well-groomed hands, painted her nails with colorless varnish, but all to no avail. I don’t know what to do. Maybe you will advise how to get rid of this habit?

Answer: Nail biting is a very common habit, not only among children but also among adults. Approximately about 1/3 of children aged 7 to 10 and exactly half of teenagers bite their nails. It is generally accepted that the cause of this bad habit is stress. Often children bite their nails, pull at their hair, pull their eyelashes or bite their lips in an attempt to relieve nervous tension. In no case should you hit a child on the hands! Identify the root cause of stress and try to eliminate it. Walk more often, visit the pool, take time for the health and proper nutrition of the child. Identify the situation that provokes this bad habit, and try to either eliminate it or change it. You can reduce the time your child sits in front of the TV, replace watching TV with going to the movies, etc. The main thing is to change the situation, not the behavior of the child.

Try replacing your nail biting habit with another habit. Invite your child to do some other activity while watching a TV show, for example, knitting, drawing, sorting out cereals, at worst, nibbling seeds. The main thing is that your hands should be busy.

If a child forgets and bites his nails again, don’t scold him! In a calm and gentle voice, make a remark, put your hand on your palm, pat on the shoulder. You can cover your nails with a special coating with a bitter taste, which is produced for those who bite their nails. You can buy this varnish in pharmacies.

“A habit is a habit, you can’t throw it out the window, but you can only politely, from step to step, take it down the stairs.” Mark Twain

Q&A: Tidying Up Toys

Q: “I often literally fight with my child to keep the room in order. He is already 5 years old, and I think that such a duty as cleaning toys is already quite within his power. However, the son does not want to clean up the mess himself, and every time he has to swear and reprimand him before he starts cleaning up the toys scattered around. Is there a way to fix this problem?”

Answer : A child is not born neat, this quality is instilled in him in the process of upbringing. Of course, at the age of 5, the child is already obliged to put the toys back after the game. Do not get angry and upset, all children go through a period of “pigs”, another question is what experience they gain in the process of growing up. Have you taught your child how to clean? Here are a few tricks to help you solve this problem.

Do not put toys away by yourself, only together. This will have to be done before school. Accuracy is not instinctive. Children need to be taught responsibility. Do not shout or insult the child if he has not cleaned the room. Silently look at the child and slowly, very revealingly, begin to do so. Then ask for help.

Turn off everything that can interfere with work (TV, computer), and turn on the tape recorder with peppy music. Let this music be your signal to clean up.

Promise the child, that after cleaning you will go to the park, to the cinema, to a cafe, etc. Let at least sometimes there will be a good prospect.

Tell the child, , that if he does not clean himself, you will do it, but then he will not be able to play with these toys for several days (exactly as long as he is).

Don’t lecture, just stick to what they say. Do not throw words to the wind.

If your child is not bored without their toys, you can discuss with them the possibility of donating toys to kindergarten or church. Be sure to do this if you come to such an agreement with your child.

Do not buy too many toys for your child. Do a monthly audit and remove unnecessary toys.

If you buy a toy for your child, give him the opportunity to pay at least a small part of his pocket money. Believe me, the attitude towards toys will change dramatically, as soon as the baby spends at least 3 rubles from his own piggy bank.

On average, no more than 10 toys should be in the access area at the same time. If you have more, put the part in boxes and put it in an inaccessible place, after 2 weeks take it out again and change the toys.

Divide the toys into groups: for the outdoors, for the bathroom, for the kitchen, for the children’s room.

Designate a play area in each room. Prepare toy boxes with your child and display them prominently in the nursery. Children rarely want to be alone when they play. Allow your child to carry the toy box from room to room, but insist that they put the toy box away when play is over.

There are such types of games that you should not remove at all: checkers and chess. Teach children to play these games and leave a game on the table regularly for reflection. The older the child is, the more interesting it is to watch the game progress. Sometimes parties last for weeks. The constructor and puzzles should be kept in separate boxes and removed immediately after the end of the game. It is better to stick puzzles on thick cardboard and insert them into frames. Over time, you can arrange entire exhibitions of homemade works. Tell your child about it, and he will treat them carefully.

Sometimes in a child’s room you can find completely unexpected items: stones, corks, twigs, candy wrappers, empty bottles, etc. Do not rush to throw these things away. Set aside a separate box for little things and only go through these treasures together with your child. It is these little things that are most often the most valuable to him.

Question. In what weather are children not taken out for a walk?

Answer: according to SanPiN2 . 4.1.2660-13 The daily duration of a walk for children is at least 4 – 4.5 hours. The walk is organized 2 times a day: in the first half – before lunch and in the second half of the day – after daytime sleep or before the children go home. When the air temperature is below minus 15 C and the wind speed is more than 7 m/s, the duration of the walk is reduced. The walk is not carried out at air temperature below minus -15 C and wind speed over 15 m/s for children under 4 years old, and for children 5-7 years old at air temperature below minus -20 C and wind speed over 15 m/s.

answers “The most terrible children’s questions” answers to the question “why does the moon sometimes appear during the day?” and other “children’s most terrible questions for parents.

”

British scientists have compiled a rating of children’s questions, the most terrible for parents is about the Moon

A group of researchers from the UK has compiled a rating of children’s questions that parents are most afraid of. More than 2,000 parents took part in the survey.

On Thursday Gazeta.Ru reported about the ten most puzzling children’s questions, which, according to a study, baffle British parents. According to the science department of Gazeta.Ru, the answer to such a question should be sought together with the child – in reference books, encyclopedias, the Internet – thereby accustoming him to the eternal truth: “You need not so much to know information as to know where to look for it” . But even if you know the answer, it is often too complicated to explain, and this is the main problem. Einstein once said that any physical theory, even the most complex one, can be explained to a six-year-old child. Unfortunately, the world does not consist of only Einsteins, so we tried to figure out how to teach a child the answers to these ten questions.

Why is the moon sometimes visible during the day?

The answer is actually quite simple. The Earth revolves around the Sun, the Moon around the Earth, and therefore its trajectory “walks” in the sky: every day it shifts by an angle of about 13 degrees. As a result, there are times when the Moon passes over us during the day, and the Sun illuminates it so much that it remains visible in daylight.

Never answer that the Moon just got mixed up and forgot to leave, otherwise you may be suspected of dementia or deceit.

Try to answer as close to the truth as possible without going into details that you yourself may not understand. For example, you can answer: this is because the sun has already risen, but the moon has not had time to leave yet.

Why is the sky blue?

The answer is somewhat more complicated and boils down to the fact that sunlight entering the atmosphere begins to scatter on its molecules and aerosol molecules. The short-wavelength part of the visible spectrum is scattered much more strongly, so the sky turns blue.

You were born a fool, you will die a fool

A close relationship was found between the characteristics of intelligence in adolescence and how a person’s intelligence …

January 19 11:34

It all depends on the child who asks. If he is used to obeying you and is not too caustic, and you are well versed in matters of the visible spectrum, then you can immediately start with the Rayleigh scattering law with its fourth powers, talk in detail about different wavelengths and how they scatter on molecules, in a word, bombard him with completely unnecessary information and pull this story until the child falls asleep or runs away on business.

If the child is not inclined to idealize you, you should simply answer: “It’s all about the little specks of dust. There are many of them in the sky, and they do not like to let the light through.

They dislike the blue particles of light most of all and detain them more often than others. Blue particles accumulate around these dust particles and paint the sky in their color.

Will we ever meet aliens?

After recent studies of , people now know for sure that almost every star in our Galaxy has planets. So, according to the theory of probability, we can have a lot of brothers in mind, but we, most likely, will not be able to get to each other because of the breathtaking distances and the light threshold of speed.

That is, on the one hand, there are aliens, but on the other hand, meeting with them is very problematic.

It all depends on your own preferences. If you don’t believe in flying saucers and you know roughly how many miles a light year is, your answer should be short: “No!” If you believe in them and don’t care about a light year, the answer is even shorter: “Yes!” There is simply no third answer.

How much does our planet weigh?

For reference: the mass of the Earth is 5.9742×10 ²⁴ kg, that is, about six trillion trillion kilograms, but neither you nor your child need to know about this if it is not going to become a great physicist this week.

The answer should be memorable: “About a million million million million kilograms.”

If you unknowingly repeat the word “million” a couple more times, it won’t get any worse – it is unlikely that you will ever be caught in a mistake. Here you can most likely expect a counter question: “What is a million?” You immediately and completely truthfully answer: “It’s a thousand thousand.” If after that you are asked what a thousand is, the answer should be drawn up according to the previous scheme, but if the child is 15 years old, instead of answering, you should look at him reproachfully and take a deep breath.

Why do planes hang in the air?

An aircraft wing is designed in such a way that the area of ​​its lower surface is less than the area of ​​the upper one, therefore, the high-speed air flow, flowing around the wing, presses on it from below more than from above, creating lift. In addition, the angle of attack is important (the angle between the direction of the speed of the air flow on the body and the characteristic longitudinal direction): on the wing of a glider or aircraft going up, the oncoming flow runs from below and, in fact, supports the wing, preventing it from falling.

If you understand aerodynamics, get out yourself, if not, “lie” the truth: “He does not hang, but moves quickly, and the air does not allow him to fall.”

Scientists will unravel God

In 2012, the mystery of the Higgs boson and neutrinos moving at superluminal speed will be revealed…

January 11 11:14

You can also answer this way: “The shape of the wing of an airplane is such that when it flies, the air presses on it from below more strongly than from above.” Here, however, there is a risk of a counter question: “And what is its wing shape?” If you don’t know this, the first answer is preferable.

Why is the water wet?

Of the entire list, this is probably the most difficult question to answer directly, because the child is interested in such a property of water as its wettability – the ability to “stick” to many surfaces and soak them if they have pores. This property has a rather complicated chemical explanation, based on the presence of oxygen atoms in water molecules and, to put it simply, the desire of these molecules to form additional hydrogen bonds with “foreign” oxygen atoms.

We recommend in this case to “lie the truth” again, answering that water is wet because it is liquid, that is, it does not have its own shape and takes the shape of the surface on which it hit.

How to divide in a column?

If calculators haven’t quite shattered your school memories of this ancient but effective computational method, grab paper and pencil and then show your child how it’s done. At the same time, it would be good to mention the basic principle of division into a column, according to which a very approximate result is first calculated, and then with each step, with each line of the column, it is refined more and more. If you have problems with division in a column, sit down with your child at the computer and look for the answer to this question with any search engine.

Where do bees and birds go in winter?

As you know, migratory birds fly south, and bees spend the winter, gathering in tight balls and thus keeping the heat necessary for life. Many people know about migratory birds, so, most likely, they were in the top ten most difficult questions for the company of bees. A person who knows about the wintering of bees will not find it difficult to answer, he can make it fascinating and childishly scary. A person who does not know this can get away with the message that the bees fall asleep for the winter, like bears.

Where do rainbows come from?

From a school course in physics, everyone should know approximately that a rainbow is a consequence of the refraction of sunlight in air saturated with small droplets of moisture. The main difficulty in answering this question is that here you would have to explain to the child the laws of refraction of light and the dependence of refraction on the wavelength of light. Here you can “swim”, even if you understand these laws, so our advice to you is to avoid talking about refraction. Behave like that drop of moisture – deviate from the topic the more, the more energetic your sunlight, your native “photonchik” behaves. Distract him from the topic by talking, for example, about the fact that a rainbow comes not only from the sun and rain, but also from a janitor watering flowers with a hose.
Why are there different time zones on Earth?

It is not entirely clear why this question was included in the top ten most difficult questions, because it is from the questions of the cycle “Who wrote the Oginsky Polonaise?”. With a slight but visible irritation, answer that the Earth is round, and when we have midnight, then it is noon in America, so time zones are introduced so that morning everywhere starts at sunrise. In our opinion, it is undesirable to develop this topic by telling the child that sometimes the number of time zones tends to decrease, but that this is not forever – he can bombard you with a stream of counter questions that you may not want to answer.

“Maxwell’s equations paid off science for hundreds of years”

Disinterested curiosity of scientists is the main engine of the progress of civilization: Maxwell’s “mind games” gave. ..

05 May 16:11

In conclusion, we would like to offer a “bonus” question, which did not make the top ten hardest, apparently only because of insufficient British statistics. As practice shows, children are often interested in the following:

Why are the bags rustling?

Science prefers not to answer this question in detail – apparently, because “rustling” is an unscientific, approximate term that combines such different sounds as the rustling of leaves, fabric, sand, noise in the ears, in a car engine, etc.

There is, however, the same vague explanation that the rustling of plastic is due to its high bending rigidity.

Never answer a child in such an abstruse style. Tell him that the rustling is a quiet kind of crackling, that the plastic of the bag is like a broom made of straws, with the difference that the plastic straws are much thinner and there are many more of them. Tell him that if you break a bunch of straws, you will hear a crack, and if you crush the plastic, then his straws will also break, but because of their thinness, instead of a crack, they will make a rustle. This explanation differs very little from the truth, and its only drawback is that the next day you will have to buy a new broom to replace the broken one.

PR. Children love to ask questions, and parents sometimes have a hard time finding the answer to a child’s question. And today you will guess the answers of children to various questions, in order to guess, you need to think the same way as children. We are starting the game “CHILDREN’S QUESTION – CHILDREN’S ANSWER” And we are glad that you have responded to the call of your children and take part in our game. I invite 4 people from each group. (Participants come up with a name for their teams.) So, the Smile team and the Invincible team are ready to fight? The goal of the game participants is to guess the most common answers of children to the proposed questions, which cannot be answered unambiguously. Our team game. Each player must express his opinion, offer his own version, but victory or defeat will go to the whole team as a whole. The rules of our game are as follows: the entire gameplay consists of four “games”: – simple – double – games, on the contrary, a big game. A simple game will begin with the drawing of the order of the right to answer. I invite the team captains to the table. In front of you are cards with numbers from 1 to 10 turned upside down. Choose a card, and whose number is greater, that team will answer first.

Slide 16

PR. In a simple game, each point earned by team members will be converted into 1 point, and I’m waiting for the member of the team that won the right to answer the question first. I will ask you a question, and if the answer is on the top line, we will continue the game with your team, and if not, then the first player of the opposing team will try to answer. The game will be continued by the team whose answer is on the top line. The game has such a rule, with three incorrect answers, the right to play passes to the opposing team and a blitz poll is held. The team captain will have to choose the answer that is correct in his opinion, and if the answer is on the scoreboard, then all the points earned by the opposing team go to his team and vice versa, if there is no answer on the scoreboard, the team does not earn points, but the opponents take everything. SIMPLE GAME Question: WHAT TASTES SWEET? (sweets, fruits, chocolate, marmalade, buns) DOUBLE GAME Question: WHY IS MILK BOILED? (to be warm, to drink, not to get sick, to be hot, to be tasty) The double game is played in the same way as a simple game, only each point earned turns into two points. The right to answer is played using the same cards from 1 to 10, whose number is greater, that team starts a double game.

Slide 17

REVERSE GAME : the game, on the contrary, differs from the previous ones in that it is most profitable for the team to guess not the first line on the scoreboard, but 4 or 5, since the answer on these lines will bring the team 120 and 240 points, respectively, and the top line is only 15. I will now announce question, and you as a team decide which answer you think is hidden on the bottom line. And the team with the lowest number of points will be the first to answer. If your versions are on the scoreboard, then the points you received will be immediately transferred to your account. Question: WHAT IS FLOUR MADE? ANSWER 1 15 ANSWER 2 30 ANSWER 3 60 ANSWER 4 120 ANSWER 5 240 BIG GAME VED. : And now we will play a big game with the winning team. I invite two members of this team. You will be answering the same questions, but taking turns and working together you need to score 50 points. And now we will ask one participant to leave the hall, and with the remaining participant we will continue the game. I will ask you five questions, and you, without hesitation, quickly answer them, we will see your answers on the scoreboard and calculate the number of points you have earned.

You will answer the same questions as the first participant, but if your answers match, you will hear a beep and have to give a different answer. We will also see your answers on the scoreboard and calculate the points. Now let’s calculate the total score. If the tandem has scored the required number of points, it wins the main prize for its team, which means that one of the groups gets a new game, and the losing team gets a consolation prize.

Q&A

one

What should I answer when my child says: “And his mother allows him to do this and that …”. I want my answer to be more constructive than the usual: “Because I’m not like his mom!”.

Do you hear this phrase more and more often? The questions don’t stop when you give the classic answer, does your little one ask you over and over again? Try to explain to your child that all children are different and all parents are different too. And mom and dad know their children better than anyone else, so they understand what is best for their kids.

Explain to your child that every family has its own way of life, different opinions, different ways of solving everyday problems. It will be even better if you show it with specific examples. Go visit neighborhood families, take the kids to different parts of town, or find ways to do something different than usual (try eating with chopsticks). Then your children will really be able to see the diversity that makes our world so interesting and exciting!

I am very worried about the fact that if I say yes to my children too often, then I can spoil them.

Don’t worry, there are plenty of ways to say “yes” to your child without spoiling them. There is a big difference between giving him a room to experiment or letting him do whatever he wants, wherever he wants! The idea is to immediately define the boundaries of what is permitted. For example: “We can stay in the park, but only until 19:30”, “Yes, you can stay overnight with friends, but only on Fridays or Saturdays.”

Of course, it is very difficult to say yes. It is easier to say “no” all the time to a child whose activities at home create chaos and disorder than to say “yes” and give him a place and an opportunity to learn and determine what activity he likes. If you offer any creative alternatives to rejection, kids will put in the extra effort!

Saying “no” to all children’s requests and actions is not always the best way out. By doing what they want, children get additional experience, learn something new. It has been noticed that if you often agree with the child and allow him a lot, this has positive and educational results.

But do I still have to say “no” to a child sometimes?

Oh sure! Parents should sometimes say “no” to their children when they think it’s necessary – all children should know the limits. There are various responses and expressions that can be used to forbid something without the child feeling rejected. In particular, try saying “no” with a friendly face and gentle tone to show that you are not angry or critical of him.

If, say, your 5-6 year old wants to help you prepare a meal, but you are too tired or too busy right now to let him help, instead of saying no, tell him it would be much better, if he helps tomorrow. Say that you will be very grateful to him if he makes a list of products that will be useful to you tomorrow.

For 3-4 year olds, it will be much harder to understand why you are refusing. So instead of helping out in the kitchen, invite them to play with you before bed.

My 3 year old often comes to sleep with us parents at night, but I prefer that he sleeps in his own room. Is it good for him to sleep in our room?

Is it good for a child to sleep in a parent’s bed? Discussions on this topic do not stop. There is no common opinion on this issue. The only thing that is taken as a rule is that for children under the age of 6 months it is good when their crib is close to the parent’s bed. This will help parents to monitor the child during sleep and will make it possible to avoid suffocation or overheating (hypothermia) of the baby at night.

If you prefer your baby to get used to sleeping alone, then having a crib in your room for a long time will prevent the baby from being afraid to sleep alone when he grows up. For children aged 3 to 6, try to make sure that a night’s sleep in their own bed is their choice, not a rule you make up. Explain that only “big kids” have their own bed. Let them arrange their bed the way they want.

I don’t want to let my child often play video games, play with phone, tablet and other gadgets. How can I do it?

We all know that new technologies (DVDs, tablets and phones) have both positive and negative effects on our children these days, so it’s up to you. Study the question and decide how often you want to use modern inventions in your home.

In early childhood, everything magical happens far away from television screens, children learn about the world around them in other ways. Limiting the amount of time preschoolers watch TV or use a tablet might mean you want to keep the joy of discovery alive. When children grow up (5-6 years old), it becomes normal for them to be interested in new technologies that their parents use, they want to watch and do what their peers are interested in. Children look up to adults and set boundaries, so be consistent with them about how much time and what content is acceptable to them when they are on the computer. Offer them alternatives more often – active entertainment, interesting events that will help them explore the world not from TV screens, and help you create precious family memories.

My 3-year-old child is a real rip-off! He always runs somewhere, jumps, not looking at the danger.

I don’t want to limit it because of my fears, but every day I feel the strongest excitement!

It is very good that your child is so smart and curious! Children who are allowed to explore the environment and are not restricted in their activities will grow up self-reliant and confident. However, it’s not that easy to drive him away from danger for the 5th time in a day! If you can, give your child the opportunity to explore themselves and the world around them in a playful way. You can also record the fidget in the sports section – this directed the energy in the right direction. Then even a small child will learn to be more careful and will be able to develop coordination and motor skills. At home, take the time to teach your baby how to do various exercises correctly. Someday, when you are not around, they can get into trouble because of curiosity, so why not teach children to deal with them themselves?

I often said no to our first child. What happens if I allow more for the second child? Will he be jealous?

It is normal for parents that, just like children, we learn from our mistakes. We are more free to act with the second child and there is nothing to worry about.

If your older child feels that you are unfair to him, be sure to listen to all his arguments. This is enough for the child to understand that you heard him and paid attention to his feelings. In addition, it can be explained that when the children were younger, everything was new to you in raising, and you were afraid that if you gave them more freedom, you might harm them. Now you are more experienced and confident because they have shown themselves to be very strong and capable. Let the children know that you understand what it means to be a parent because of them. Tell them thanks for it!

Should I indulge my child’s every whim? Isn’t it dangerous?

Of course, you should not agree with all children’s ideas. If you understand that this is dangerous, the answer must definitely be negative. However, there are ways to say “no” without offending, but on the contrary, by offering something more suitable in return.

Children of five or six years old should explain the prohibition by saying what danger this or that action can carry. For example, if they want to play paintball, say that this game has an age limit and paintballs hit hard enough, but they will definitely play it when they get older. And then just come up with an exciting game with them, in which you do not need to use weapons and paint. Take the flag, for example.

Preschoolers aged 3-4 should be explained that this game is for older children and suggested that they play something simple and fun right now that will easily distract them.

I have noticed that I always say no while my husband says yes. How do our children perceive it? I myself do not really like being a family tyrant.

It is absolutely normal that parents have different views regarding some educational issues, but it is important for children to show a common opinion. Try not to express your disagreement with each other’s opinions. Remain discreet in front of children. If parents constantly contradict each other, this will undermine their authority in the eyes of the child.

If you find yourself always playing the role of a tyrant, ask your partner to be a strict parent in at least one area, such as putting the kids to bed. Discuss controversial points and find a compromise. For example, if you think that bedtime should be strictly defined, while your partner thinks “let them go to bed when they are tired,” agree to follow a simple rule: children go to bed early on weekdays, but they can stay up on weekends longer.

How can I change the rules that I have set without losing authority in the eyes of children?

Of course, it’s confusing for kids if parents first set a rule and then completely change it a minute later. Most importantly, trust that you know what is best for your child and be confident in the decisions you make. Don’t let your child manipulate you. You will lose credibility and may lose respect.

You must be careful when setting rules. Sometimes our children can identify our inconsistencies in the rules. To explain the changes you made, say that you have new information, you must change the original rule in connection with this. This way, children will understand that everyone makes mistakes. They will learn that it is not a shame to speak about their shortcoming and correct it.

My 3 year old has a favorite toy that he always takes with him. Should this be encouraged, or is it bad that he is so attached to her?

Most young children develop a very strong attachment to toys, teddy bears, or the like at some point. For them, these toys represent safety, a familiar environment. It’s no surprise that toddlers cling to familiar things when you consider how many new and unfamiliar situations they find themselves in. Don’t worry – most children will eventually give up their object of affection on their own.

If it seems to you that the time has come, do it gradually. At 5-6 years old, you can say: “The little rabbit cannot go to school, but he will be waiting at home when you return.” Or if you have a preschooler, keep him busy with something fun so that he starts spending more time without his toy.

12

Should I show my child only a positive example? Doesn’t this look implausible?

Remember how your parents told you: “Do what I say, not what you want.” Remember how angry it was? Children feel injustice in this phrase. It’s like saying: “For me – one rule, for you – others.” Our children’s behavior is shaped by our own example of behavior. When we ourselves do something, and not just say it right, it is much more effective.

Do you really expect your child to brush twice a day when you only do it once? Or will he eat broccoli if you don’t eat it yourself? On the other hand, of course, there are aspects that concern only adults. So, when your preschooler asks to drive a car, here it is worth explaining that there are things that only adults do, and answering that he can do it too, but not now, but when he grows up.

13

If I tell my child “yes” all the time, will other parents and teachers at school think that I am over-indulging my child?

In raising children, not only this can spoil a child! The concept of a “good parent” is different for everyone. When you have children, your parents and other family members, neighbors, even strangers in the supermarket feel they should share their opinion on how to do better!

Forget other people’s advice, otherwise you will be caught in the crossfire. All children are different and have different needs. Do what you think is right for you and your child. As long as you meet all of your child’s basic needs – food, love, comfort, freedom of action, experience, the opportunity to make your own mistakes – everything will go well. Trust yourself to say “yes” when it’s really good for your child.

fourteen

If children are allowed to do whatever they want, will they become more self-reliant and independent?

There are many parents who react positively to all the ideas of their children and tell them: “Do as you like!”. But in fact, by saying this, you are actually telling your child that you don’t care what he does. Children do not need complete freedom at all, they need boundaries. By giving your child freedom within certain limits, you learn to trust him and teach him to take responsibility for his actions.
As an experiment, invite a young child to choose which T-shirt to wear today: red or blue. Having made his choice, the child will feel that he is doing what he wants, but these actions suit you too.

A thousand “whys” a minute from a child drives parents crazy! Do I need to explain my answers to the child and justify why this is so and not otherwise?

Need. In childhood, the child is faced with new situations constantly. To adults, they may seem completely ordinary. By explaining to the child how the world works, we help him understand and see logical chains. It is not easy to repeat and tell over and over again. From the first time, the child may not understand or remember what you are telling him. The kid will test your patience (and its limits!), asking the same questions a huge number of times before he draws a conclusion for himself. Thus, the child learns and explores the world around him.

16

If I often say yes to my son, will he love me more for it?

By its very nature, love is not a rational feeling, so it is not related to the specific amount of “yes” or “no” you say. Your children need to feel they can trust you, and you, for your part, need to know what’s best for them.

Sometimes you need to say yes to them so they can discover and experience the world. Sometimes you have to say “no” because they are up to something that can be dangerous for them. And sometimes it even seems easier to take the path of least resistance and always say yes, because we want our children to be happy. But kids need parents to set limits, among other things. Are you afraid to disappoint the child or create a conflict situation? Not worth it. If you say only “yes” all the time, your child will perceive this as a lack of support from you in dealing with new situations.

17

Whether I allow it or not, my preschooler still does what he wants. What should I do?

Do you have a strong-willed child who is contrary to your instructions? Excellent! It is important to understand in which case such behavior is justified and is not a banal whim. Sometimes such resistance to the rules is the norm, a way to defend the right to one’s own point of view. Your child is trying to assert his individuality and is doing his best to control his world.

For example, your child refuses to get into a car to go to kindergarten. Let’s think about how he might feel at this moment. Perhaps going to kindergarten is a huge stress for him, and since he still cannot express it verbally, he attacks mom and dad with fists, hysteria, bites. Don’t give in to anger! Instead, try to lighten the mood with a joke. Distract your child with music or play. Stick to your rules and restrictions, keep everything under control, but give your child a choice so that he also feels his own importance.

eighteen

I want to say a confident “Of course!” to my preschooler, but I notice that I say “Yes, but…” much more often. How can I learn to speak more confidently?

For young children, it will be better to hear a clear “Yes” than a hesitant “Yes, but…” If you hesitate, your voice sounds uncertain, you have a worried expression on your face. In this case, your child receives an ambiguous message: he did not understand whether he was allowed or not. What he really wants is confirmation that he has received your permission and is now confident in his abilities.

When allowing a child to do something new, set the rules in advance and clearly. For example, if your daughter wants to follow her older brother up the wall, show her how to climb the wall while holding on with both hands. So you say your confident “yes”, and keep your doubts to yourself.

19

Should I agree with my child if he wants to do something that is dangerous or dirty?

Young children have an inescapable desire to do something dangerous or dirty. Oddly enough, in this way they know the world. The kids will do this with or without you, so it’s best to do whatever you can to keep them safe while doing so. Ultimately, it’s much better than having to say “no” every time.

Of course, the child’s age and physical abilities should be taken into account in order to determine what is suitable for him and what is not. By foreseeing all this, and by teaching your child to take risks under your guidance, you develop in children self-esteem and the ability to cope with various situations that they will face in life. If kids want to walk up a wall, climb a tree, or slide down a hill, agree and show them how to do it safely.

I can’t bring myself to constantly say “yes” (permit) to my three-year-olds because I’m afraid for them. What should I do?

You don’t have to say “yes” every time! Young children still need to set certain limits. Trust yourself! As a parent, you know what is best for your children. If you’re afraid you’re saying no and no more than your child deserves, find a more positive, playful approach.

A child who constantly hears “no” seems to make fewer mistakes. But we do learn from mistakes. In the future, it is these small independent discoveries that form children’s confidence, stimulate further development and knowledge of the world.
