Kids’ Learning Losses Are Worse Than Educators Are Acknowledging

Starting in the spring of 2020, school boards and superintendents across the country faced a dreadful choice: Keep classrooms open and risk more COVID-19 deaths, or close schools and sacrifice children’s learning. In the name of safety, many districts shut down for long periods. But researchers are now learning that the closures came at a stiff price—a large decline in children’s achievement overall and a historic widening in achievement gaps by race and economic status.

The achievement loss is far greater than most educators and parents seem to realize. The only question now is whether state and local governments will recognize the magnitude of the educational damage and make students whole. Adults are free to disagree about whether school closures were justified or a mistake. But either way, children should not be stuck with the bill for a public-health measure taken on everyone’s behalf.

I am part of a team from the American Institutes for Research, Dartmouth College, Harvard, and the educational-assessment nonprofit NWEA that has been investigating the impact of remote and hybrid instruction on student learning during the 2020–21 academic year. We have assembled testing results from 2.1 million elementary- and middle-school students in 10,000 schools in 49 states and Washington, D.C., and combined those with data on the number of weeks schools were in-person, remote, or hybrid during 2020–21. Our team compared student-achievement growth in the period before the pandemic, from fall 2017 to fall 2019, with the period from fall 2019 to fall 2021. For years, districts have regularly been using NWEA tests to measure how students’ performance in reading and math changes during a school year; in a typical week of in-person instruction before the pandemic, the average student improved 0.3 points in math (on the NWEA’s scale) and 0.2 points in reading.

During the spring semester of 2020, though, nearly all schools went remote. Distractions, technical glitches, and the many other pitfalls of online education made it far less effective than in-person school.

One-fifth of American students, by our calculations, were enrolled in districts that remained remote for the majority of the 2020–21 school year. For these students, the effects were severe. Growth in student achievement slowed to the point that, even in low-poverty schools, students in fall 2021 had fallen well behind what pre-pandemic patterns would have predicted; in effect, students at low-poverty schools that stayed remote had lost the equivalent of 13 weeks of in-person instruction. At high-poverty schools that stayed remote, students lost the equivalent of 22 weeks. Racial gaps widened too: In the districts that stayed remote for most of last year, the outcome was as if Black and Hispanic students had lost four to five more weeks of instruction than white students had.

By our calculations, about 50 percent of students nationally returned in person in the fall and spent less than a month remote during the 2020–21 school year. In these districts where classrooms reopened relatively quickly, student-achievement gaps by race and socioeconomic status widened a bit in reading but, fortunately, not in math. And overall student achievement fell only modestly. The average student in the quicker-to-reopen districts lost the equivalent of about seven to 10 weeks of in-person instruction. (That losing just a quarter of a typical school year’s academic progress is a relatively good outcome only underscores the dimension of the overall problem.)

What happened in spring 2020 was like flipping off a switch on a vital piece of our social infrastructure. Where schools stayed closed longer, gaps widened; where schools reopened sooner, they didn’t. Schools truly are, as Horace Mann famously argued, the “balance wheel of the social machinery.”

Like any other parent who witnessed their child dozing in front of a Zoom screen last year, I was not surprised that learning slowed. However, as a researcher, I did find the size of the losses startling—all the more so because I know that very few remedial interventions have ever been shown to produce benefits equivalent to 22 weeks of additional in-person instruction.

High-dosage tutoring—which educators define as involving a trained tutor working with one to four students at a time, three times a week for a whole year—is one of the few interventions with a demonstrated benefit that comes close, producing an average gain equivalent to 19 weeks of instruction. One of those leading the charge on tutoring is Tennessee Department of Education Commissioner Penny Schwinn, who is offering matching funds to encourage school districts to launch tutoring initiatives. Tennessee’s goal is to provide high-dosage tutors to 50,000 students a year for the next two years. School systems elsewhere have similar ambitions. The educational-policy think tank FutureEd, at Georgetown University, reviewed the pandemic-recovery plans of thousands of districts and found that a quarter had tutoring initiatives in the works.

The obvious challenge with tutoring is how to offer it to students on an enormous scale. To eliminate a 22-week instruction loss would require providing a tutor to every single student in a school. Yet Tennessee’s plan would serve just one out of 12 Tennessee students in the targeted grades.

Given the magnitude and breadth of the losses, educators should not see tutoring as the sole answer to the problem. School systems need a patch big enough to cover the hole.

Many district leaders I know are considering three additional measures. One option is voluntary summer school, which, according to prior research, has yielded about five weeks of instructional gain per student. Another option is an extra period each day of instruction in core subjects. A double dose of math over the course of an entire school year has been shown to produce gains equivalent to about 10 weeks of in-person instruction, although the evidence on reading is weaker. (Our team will be working with districts to measure the efficacy of these and other catch-up efforts over the next two years.)

Like tutoring, double-dose math will be hard to scale up. Staffing the additional sections of math requires hiring more math teachers amid a historically hot labor market. Unlike tutors (who can be contractors), districts are hesitant to add permanent teaching staff for a short-term catch-up effort.

Meanwhile, summer school has historically struggled with low student attendance. In a typical pre-pandemic year, only about 6 percent of students attended summer school. Even if districts managed to triple that number, enrollment would still fall far short of the magnitude required to eliminate learning loss.

A third alternative would be lengthening the school year for the next two years. Of course, districts would have to pay teachers, janitors, and bus drivers more, perhaps at time and a half, to work the extra weeks. But unlike with tutoring or double-dose math, districts already have the personnel, the buildings, the buses, the schedules. As long as educators, parents, and students view the extra instructional time as just an extension of the school year—like days added to make up for snow closures—the power of family and school routine will deliver higher attendance than summer school.

The primary problem with a longer school year is political, not logistical. After opposition from the local teachers’ union and some parents, the Los Angeles Unified School District was able to add only four optional days of school next year. This is, to be sure, more make-up time than many other school systems have planned, but quite inadequate given that the nation’s second-largest school district was remote for three-quarters of 2020–21.

I fear that, in areas where classrooms remained closed for long periods, school officials are not doing the basic math. High-dosage tutoring may produce the equivalent of 19 weeks of instruction for students who receive it, but is a district prepared to offer it to everyone? Alternatively, suppose that a school offers double-dose math for every single student and somehow convinces them to attend summer school, too. That, educational research suggests, would help students make up a total of 15 weeks of lost instruction. Even if every single student in a high-poverty school received both interventions, they would still face a seven-week gap.

Educational interventions have a way of being watered down in practice; many superintendents and school boards may tell themselves that they are taking a variety of steps to help students make up lost time. And yet most district plans are currently nowhere near commensurate with their students’ losses.

I understand the many practical challenges of implementing any of these measures—much less implementing all of them quickly. Yet speed is essential. State and local school agencies received $190 billion in federal pandemic relief, much of which remains unspent. Districts have more than two full school years in which to spend the aid. But if they do not get started at sufficient scale during the coming school year, they risk using the aid for other purposes and running out of time and money later.

Last year, Miguel Cardona, the secretary of education, urged schools to return to in-person learning. Now the department that he leads should be encouraging (or requiring) districts to update their recovery plans in light of achievement losses. Local school boards should have to show that their recovery programs are plausibly sufficient to cover those losses. When Congress approved federal aid packages for schools, the magnitude of the achievement losses were unclear, and many analysts were preoccupied with potential shortfalls in the state and local tax revenue used to fund schools. Thus, the law required districts to spend only 20 percent of their COVID-relief money on academic recovery; the rest could go to the day-to-day needs of a school district—salaries, curriculum materials, teacher training, facility improvements. But many districts, especially those that were remote for much of 2020–21, will have to spend nearly all of their federal relief funds on academic recovery if they want students to catch up.

Reversing pandemic-era achievement losses will take aggressive action over the next several years. And yet the problem also presents an opportunity for any governor or mayor or superintendent looking to make meaningful improvements in children’s education. Federal aid is available. No obvious partisan roadblocks stand in the way. Most communities just need leadership—and a sufficiently ambitious recovery plan. In Tennessee, Schwinn has at least recognized the enormous scope of the problem. Which other state and local leaders will join her?

Mental Health in Schools: The Kids Are Not All Right

By: Mary Ellen Flannery, Senior Writer

Published: 07/20/2022

The bottom line on student learning today is this: “You can’t teach if you’re not addressing mental health,” says Rene Myers, an intervention specialist in St. Paul, Minn.

Myers has been working in public education for more than 33 years. Over the decades, the mental health needs of her students have grown, and grown, and grown, she says. The pandemic, coupled with decades of inaction by school boards and state legislators, has only made things worse.

About 214,000 U.S. children have lost a parent to COVID-19. They’re adrift, grieving. Many other parents and caregivers lost their jobs. Today, 17 million U.S. children struggle with hunger—about 6 million more than before the pandemic. On top of that, recent years have reinforced how much this nation still struggles with racism and antiLGBTQ+ hatred.

So when Myers sat down at the bargaining table this year, seeking to negotiate a new contract between the St. Paul Federation of Educators (SPFE) and her school district, her number-one priority was students’ mental health.

“To know what our students and staff have gone through in the past two years … to say we don’t need mental health supports? It’s like saying you don’t need air. It’s unimaginable!” she said.

In February, St. Paul educators voted to strike. Then, in early March, just hours before hitting the streets, union negotiators reached an agreement to preserve the mental health teams that SPFE won during 2020 bargaining. Those teams include counselors, nurses, social workers, and school psychologists in every St. Paul school.

These professionals are essential to providing students with what they need, says Myers.

From Bad to Worse

In the past year, even as the nation has returned to “normal” life, the latest research shows that many students are still living in a state of mental health crisis. This data isn’t at all surprising to educators and parents.

“Of course we see advanced need! On top of the pandemic, everything happening with the economy also is impacting our families,” says Theresann Pyrett, a Michigan middle school teacher and president of the West Ottawa Education Association (WOEA). “It’s like a perfect breeding ground for mental health issues to develop.”

In an April poll, nearly three-quarters of U.S. parents said their child would benefit from mental health counseling—up from 68 percent in 2021. Additionally, about a third said their child has recently shown symptoms of mental health issues, including anxiety (19 percent) and depression (13 percent).

Among parents of students with disabilities—including learning, developmental, and physical challenges—almost a third said their child has anxiety, and rates of depression are higher as well.

“The biggest misconception is that COVID makes people mentally ill. From my point of view, COVID unmasked people who have underlying vulnerabilities,” said John Walkup, chair of the behavioral health department at Chicago’s Lurie Children’s Hospital, in an interview with the New York Times.

Before the pandemic, between 2016 and 2019, the number of children diagnosed with anxiety rose by 27 percent, while depression diagnoses rose by 24 percent. But recently, it’s worse than ever.

In the past year, 15 percent of teens suffered at least one major depressive episode—that’s an additional 306,000 teens over the previous 12 months, according to the 2022 data from Mental Health America. On top of that, nearly two-thirds of teens with major depression say they haven’t gotten any help.

Demanding Help for Students

In West Ottawa, the local union is making sure students get what they need. That includes using local property tax revenues to hire 10 additional mental wellness coaches throughout the district and using federal pandemic relief funds to hire 16 additional interventionists.

WOEA leaders work closely with district administrators, all asking the same question: What’s best for students?

“One thing I keep repeating, over and again, is that more hands on deck makes for a lighter load,” Pyrett says. “We’re focused on picking up kids—and if you have more hands to pick those kids up, it’s so beneficial for those kids.”

The Biden administration’s pandemic relief plans have made the largest-ever, single investment in public schools. Now educators are making sure that money is used for the counselors, social workers, school psychologists, behavioral coaches, etc., that students need to be successful.

Unions also are bargaining contracts that include those supports. In Minneapolis, educators went on strike this spring for more than two weeks, finally settling a deal that doubles the number of nurses and counselors in elementary schools and provides a social worker in every school.

“Don’t Say Gay” — Or Trans, Either

Maybe the most alarming figure in recent mental health data is this: Nearly half of young LGBTQ+ people have considered ending their lives in the past 12 months, according to a survey of 34,000 young people by the Trevor Project.

Among those young people with suicidal ideas, more than half are transgender and nonbinary youth and nearly half are Black. (Nonbinary is a term for people who do not identify as male or female.)

The numbers are troubling, but not surprising to Palm Beach County, Florida high school teacher Michael Woods. “Especially here in Florida, with the ‘Don’t Say Gay’ law, which should also be called ‘Don’t Say Trans,’ we have a lot of kids in stress,” Woods says. “They’re just coming back to the rigors of school [after the pandemic]—and now this!”

The Florida law enables parents to sue school districts if they think their child has had inappropriate instruction on gender and sexuality. The cost of litigation will be borne by districts, which are already beginning to remove curricula on these topics.

Anti-gay laws are also spreading far beyond Florida. In Texas, Gov. Greg Abbott has ordered teachers to report parents of transgender youth for child abuse if the parents seek gender-affirming care for their child. NEA and state educators unions have spoken out against these laws.

For his part, Woods—an educator of 29 years—isn’t afraid. He wears his “We’re All Human” T-shirt and answers his students’ questions. But he worries about younger teachers with less job security, living in more conservative areas.

“I tell the kids, I’m always here for you. I’m always a safe space for you. I’m not giving up on you, and you shouldn’t give up on yourself,” he says. “When young people don’t feel like they have anywhere to turn or anyone to talk to … well, I know why the stats are the way they are.”

What Can You Do to Help?

NEA has resources for you!

Go to nea. org/ mentalhealth to take these steps and learn more:

Step 1: Email Congress. Ask for more mental health supports in schools and more funds for community schools, which provide additional services to students and families.

Step 2: Learn how to build social and emotional skills in students and take care of yourself, too.

Step 3: Work with your local union. The Biden administration’s historic investment in public schools has created the opportunity for more spending on mental health professionals and services in schools. Local unions that engage in collective bargaining can negotiate these sup – ports into their contracts.

Kids Half as Likely to Get COVID-19 as Adults: What We Know

Growing evidence is showing that COVID-19 affects kids differently than adults.
Children experience lower infection rates, accounting for less than 10 percent of cases in the United States.
Infectious disease specialists say there are several factors that seem to protect children: immunity to seasonal coronaviruses, underdeveloped sinuses, and fewer chronic health conditions.

All data and statistics are based on publicly available data at the time of publication. Some information may be out of date. Visit our coronavirus hub and follow our live updates page for the most recent information on the COVID-19 pandemic.

A new model from researchers in Israel found that kids are half as susceptible to COVID-19 compared to adults.

The report published Thursday, Feb. 11, in PLOS Computational Biology also found that people under 20 are less likely to transmit the virus to other people.

Growing evidence has showed that COVID-19 affects kids and younger people differently.

Children experience lower infection rates, accounting for less than 10 percent of cases in the United States.

When kids do get the disease, the symptoms are typically milder.

They also appear to transmit the virus less and are not primary drivers of community transmission.

Dr. Sharon Nachman, the chief of the Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases at Stony Brook Children’s Hospital, said the lower rates of infection in kids are likely due to many factors.

“These could include a different immune response to virus as compared to adults, the frequent lack of comorbid conditions in many children, and ongoing/frequent exposures to other coronaviruses, and possibly some cross-variant nonspecific immunity,” Nachman said.

The researchers evaluated transmission data of 637 households in Bnei Brak, Israel.

All individuals underwent PCR testing, and some of the participants were given serological antibody tests.

The researchers then took those findings and adjusted them to reflect the coronavirus’s overall infection and transmission rates.

They found that kids are 43 percent as susceptible to COVID-19 compared to adults.

The findings suggest kids transmit COVID-19 far less than adults. That is, the ability of children to pass the virus is about 63 percent compared to adults.

Children are also less likely to produce positive PCR tests, which looks for genetic material of the virus, even when they have the virus.

This could explain why kids have lower diagnosis rates across the globe.

“After monitoring the [COVID-19] pandemic for over a year, the data are clear,” said Dr. Robert Hamilton, a pediatrician at Providence Saint John’s Health Center, “children have been spared the ravages of this illness.”

“Around the world, study after study has shown that children and adolescents account for only 1 to 3 percent of all cases, and that even fewer ultimately required hospitalization,” Hamilton said.

Dr. Amy Baxter, a clinical associate professor at the Medical College of Georgia at Augusta University, and CEO of PainCareLabs, suspects children are less affected by COVID-19 because of their underdeveloped sinuses.

“SARS-CoV-2 replicates in the nasopharynx, and children have extremely underdeveloped sinuses until about age 12,” Baxter told Healthline.

Baxter pointed out that even when children test positive for COVID-19, they may be less likely to transmit SARS-CoV-2.

“Even if the swab seems to show the same viral load, the tank size is so much different that kids’ immune systems aren’t triggered in the same way because they likely don’t absorb nearly as many copies of [the] virus,” Baxter said.

SARS-CoV-2 is usually nasally inhaled before it develops into COVID-19. From there, it travels past the nose and into the nasal cavities where the virus latches onto certain receptors called ACE2 and makes copies of itself to create an infection.

Some evidence suggests kids don’t have as many ACE2 receptors.

But overall, the research is limited and ongoing studies will show if and how ACE2 levels impact infection.

Dr. Kathleen Jordan, an infectious disease specialist and senior vice president of medical affairs at the women’s health provider Tia, suspects the lower attack rate in kids has to do with the fact that children generally don’t have as many health conditions or comorbidities as adults.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) lists obesity and type 2 diabetes as health conditions that can increase the risk of severe COVID-19.

Jordan thinks it’s a “combination of higher comorbidities in adults that increase their risk while some characteristics unique to children also protect them, such as immune characteristics and decreased propensity to clotting and inflammatory disorders in general.”

But there are many other theories scientists are looking into.

Kids may have higher immunity from other seasonal coronaviruses that cause the common cold.

“Immunity to these coronavirus cousins of [SARS-CoV-2] viruses seems to confer some protection against [COVID-19] as well,” Hamilton said.

This crossover immunity may keep their immune systems sharp and ready to attack the novel coronavirus.

“It may be that age is the best protection for COVID,” Nachman noted.

There may be differences in microbiota, vitamin D levels, and melatonin that provide some degree of protection.

“These tempered pathways may play a role in why the disease is so much milder in children and less likely to cause symptoms or end organ damage as seen by these pathways in adults,” Jordan said.

More research is needed to better understand kids’ role in transmitting the virus that causes COVID-19, specifically if and how schools and childcare centers fuel transmission.

However, children are not thought to be key drivers of transmission in schools or their communities.

A study from Ireland evaluating 40,000 people found that kids under 15 were half as likely to get and pass the coronavirus.

Still, kids can contract SARS-CoV-2, and COVID-19 spreads wherever humans interact, schools and childcare facilities included.

But given the growing evidence, Hamilton said many researchers and physicians feel the risks of keeping kids out of school — like depression and anxiety — are greater than the risk of contracting the new coronavirus in a school setting.

Podding, physical distancing, and mask wearing are effective measures for mitigating transmission in schools, Jordan noted.

“We have seen that school is the safest place for our children,” Nachman said. “In pretty much each school that is open to in-person learning, and with masking and some part of social distancing, there is almost no transmission of virus.”

A new model from researchers in Israel found that kids are half as susceptible to COVID-19 compared to adults.

They’re also less likely to transmit the illness and tend to produce negative PCR tests even when they have the virus.

Infectious disease specialists say there’s multiple factors that seem to protect children, such as immunity to seasonal coronaviruses, underdeveloped sinuses, and less comorbidities.

Given the evidence, many health experts believe the benefits of in-school learning outweigh the risks of contracting the coronavirus in a school setting.

Still, COVID-19 spreads wherever humans are, so mitigation measures such as face masking, physical distancing, and pod learning can help offset disease transmissions in childcare and learning facilities.

You may have the ideal site, a beautifully crafted school and a well-trained staff, but if no one knows you’re there, it may be difficult to build your roster of enrolled students. That’s why our Marketing Department will help you design an initial marketing plan that will take you from Pre-opening to Grand Opening. We’ll also help you develop a local marketing plan to acquire and retain customers, a Social Media and Digital marketing program to help you build brand recognition in your community, and your school’s website – which allows you to customize content specific to your school. Lastly, we’ll set you up with a public relations plan that involves a press release to national franchise media as well as publications/stations at your local level. Like all of our other support areas, the help doesn’t end there. As we roll out exciting new campaigns – including our yearly Summer Camp experience – we’ll supply you with access to the tools you need to launch that campaign locally through our dedicated marketing website.

Our franchisees are on the front lines on a daily basis and have their finger on the pulse of what today’s parents want/need. That is invaluable insight! Which is why Kids ‘R’ Kids is pleased to have a number of different functional area committees – including Curriculum and Marketing, among others – to encourage franchisee involvement and input.

Beyond the fact that we’ve been franchising our schools since 1988, Kids ‘R’ Kids is proud to be a member of the International Franchise Association (IFA) – the world’s definitive franchising trade association. We are also a member of the Southeast Franchise Forum (SEFF) – the nation’s leading regional franchising trade association.

We’ve learned an awful lot in the time since we opened our first school in 1985 and started franchising in 1988. But – much like our students – we’re still learning. That’s why Kids ‘R’ Kids is a member of several State and National Industry trade associations that promote quality standards, government relations, sound business practices and the growth of the childcare industry. We’re not just learning – we’re LEADING.

Turgenev “Fathers and Sons”, chapter 19 – read online

and she was embarrassed when she came into the dining-room for dinner. However, it went pretty well. Porfiry Platonych arrived and told various anecdotes; he had just returned from the city. Incidentally, he said that the governor, Bourdalou, had ordered his officers at large to wear spurs, in case he sent them somewhere, for speed, on horseback. Arkady spoke in an undertone to Katya and served the princess diplomatically. Bazarov was stubbornly and gloomily silent. Odintsova looked at his stern and bilious face twice, directly, not stealthily, with lowered eyes, with an imprint of contemptuous determination in every line, and thought: “No … no … no …” After dinner, she went with the whole company to the garden and, seeing that Bazarov wished to speak to her, she took a few steps to one side and stopped. He approached her, but even then he did not raise his eyes and muttered in a muffled voice:0003

– I must apologize to you, Anna Sergeevna. You can’t help but be angry with me.

Fathers and children. Feature film based on the novel by I. S. Turgenev. 1958

– No, I’m not angry with you, Evgeny Vasilyich, – answered Odintsova, – but I’m upset.

– So much the worse. Anyway, I’m pretty punished. My position, with which you will probably agree, is the most stupid. You wrote to me: why leave? But I can’t and don’t want to stay. I won’t be here tomorrow…

– Evgeny Vasilyich, why are you…

– Why am I leaving?

– No, that’s not what I meant to say.

– You can’t bring back the past, Anna Sergeevna… but sooner or later it had to happen, so I had to leave. I understand only one condition under which I could stay; but this condition will never be, because you, pardon my insolence, do not love me and will never love me?

Bazarov’s eyes flashed for a moment from under his dark brows.

Anna Sergeevna did not answer him. “I’m afraid of this man,” flashed through her mind.

“Goodbye, sir,” said Bazarov, as if guessing her thought, and went towards the house.

Anna Sergeevna quietly followed him and, calling Katya, took her by the arm. She did not part with her until the evening. She did not play cards and laughed more and more, which did not at all suit her pale and embarrassed face. Arkady was perplexed and watched her, as young people watch, that is, he constantly asked himself: what, they say, does this mean? Bazarov locked himself in his room; to tea, however, he returned. Anna Sergeevna wanted to say some kind word to him, but she did not know how to speak to him …

An unexpected incident brought her out of her embarrassment: the butler reported Sitnikov’s arrival.

It is hard to put into words what a young progressive flew into the room like a quail. Deciding, with his characteristic importunity, to go to the village to a woman whom he hardly knew, who had never invited him, but who, according to the information collected, was visited by such intelligent and close people, he nevertheless became shy to the marrow of his bones and, instead of uttering the pre-approved apologies and greetings, he muttered some rubbish that Evdoksia, they say, Kukshina sent him to find out about the health of Anna Sergeevna and that Arkady Nikolaevich always spoke to him with the greatest praise . .. At this word, he stumbled and lost himself so much that sat on his own hat. However, since no one drove him away and Anna Sergeevna even introduced him to her aunt and sister, he soon recovered and crackled to glory. The appearance of vulgarity is often useful in life: it weakens too high-tuned strings, sobers self-confident or self-forgetful feelings, reminding them of its close relationship with them. With the arrival of Sitnikov, everything became somehow dumber – and simpler; they all even had a heartier supper and went to bed half an hour earlier than usual.

“Now I can repeat to you,” said Arkady Bazarov, who had also undressed, while lying in bed, “what you once said to me: “Why are you so sad? Did you fulfill some sacred duty?”

For some time now, a kind of falsely cheeky banter has been established between the two young people, which is always a sign of secret displeasure or unspoken suspicions.

– I’m leaving tomorrow to my father, – said Bazarov. Arkady got up and leaned on his elbow. He was both surprised and, for some reason, delighted.

– Ah! he said. “And you’re sad about it?”

Bazarov yawned.

– You will know a lot, you will grow old.

– And what about Anna Sergeevna? Arkady continued.

– What is Anna Sergeevna?

– I mean, will she let you go?

– I didn’t hire her.

Arkady fell into thought, and Bazarov lay down and turned his face to the wall.

Several minutes passed in silence.

– Eugene! exclaimed Arkady suddenly.

– Well?

– I will also leave with you tomorrow.

Bazarov did not answer.

“As soon as I go home,” continued Arkady. – Together we will go to Khokhlovsky settlements, and there you will take horses from Fedot. I would love to meet yours, but I’m afraid they will embarrass you too. Are you coming back to us again?

“I left my things with you,” Bazarov replied without turning around.

“Why doesn’t he ask me why I’m going? and just as suddenly as he? thought Arkady. “Really, why am I going and why is he going?” he continued his thoughts. He could not answer his own question satisfactorily, and his heart was filled with something caustic. He felt that it would be hard for him to part with this life to which he was so accustomed; but being alone was somehow strange. “Something happened to them,” he reasoned to himself, “why will I hang around in front of her after leaving? I’m finally tired of her; I will lose the last one.” He began to imagine Anna Sergeevna, then other features gradually showed through the beautiful appearance of the young widow.

“It’s a pity and Katya!” – Arkady whispered into the pillow, on which a tear had already dripped … He suddenly threw up his hair and said loudly:

– What the hell is this fool Sitnikov complaining about?

Bazarov first stirred on the bed, and then said the following:

– You, brother, are still stupid, I see. We need the Sitnikovs. Me, you understand this, I need such boobies. It’s not for the gods, really, to burn pots!..

“Ege-ge!.. – Arkady thought to himself, and just then the whole bottomless abyss of Bazar’s pride opened up to him for a moment. – We, therefore, are gods with you? that is, you are a god, but am I not an idiot?”

“Yes,” repeated Bazarov sullenly, “you are still stupid.

Odintsova showed no particular surprise when the next day Arkady told her that he was leaving with Bazarov; she seemed distracted and tired. Katya silently and seriously looked at him, the princess even crossed herself under her shawl, so that he could not fail to notice this; but Sitnikov was completely alarmed. He had just come down to breakfast in his new smart, this time not Slavophile, attire; the day before, he surprised the man assigned to him with a lot of linen brought by him, and suddenly his comrades leave him! He shifted his feet a little, darted about like a chasing hare at the edge of a forest, and suddenly, almost with fright, almost with a cry, announced that he, too, intended to leave. Odintsova did not stop him.

“I have a very comfortable carriage,” added the unfortunate young man, turning to Arkady, “I can give you a lift, and Yevgeny Vasilyich can take your chaise, it will be even more convenient that way.

– Excuse me, you are not on the road at all, and it is far from me.

– It’s nothing, nothing; I have a lot of time, and besides, I have things to do in that direction.

– Farming out? Arkady asked already too contemptuously.

But Sitnikov was in such despair that, contrary to his custom, he did not even laugh.

“I assure you, the carriage is extremely quiet,” he muttered, “and there will be room for everyone.

– Don’t upset Monsieur Sitnikov with a refusal, – Anna Sergeevna said…

Arkady looked at her and bowed his head significantly. The guests left after breakfast. Saying goodbye to Bazarov, Odintsova held out her hand to him and said:

– We’ll see each other again, right?

– As you wish, – answered Bazarov.

– In that case, we’ll see each other.

Arkady was the first to go out onto the porch; he climbed into Sitnikov’s carriage. He was respectfully lifted by the butler, and he would gladly beat him or burst into tears. Bazarov fit in the tarantass. Having reached the Khokhlovsky settlements, Arkady waited until Fedot, the owner of the inn, harnessed the horses, and, going up to the tarantass, with the same smile said to Bazarov:0003

– Eugene, take me with you; I want to go to you.

“Sit down,” Bazarov said through gritted teeth. Sitnikov, who was pacing, whistling briskly, around the wheels of his carriage, only opened his mouth at hearing these words, and Arkady coolly took his things out of his carriage, sat down near Bazarov – and, bowing politely to his former companion, shouted: “Move!” The tarantass rolled on and soon disappeared from view … Sitnikov, completely embarrassed, looked at his coachman, but he played with a whip over the tail of the tie-down. Then Sitnikov jumped into the carriage and, thundering at two passing peasants: “Put on your hats, you fools!” – dragged himself to the city, where he arrived very late and where the next day Kukshina got hit hard by two “nasty proud and ignoramuses.”

Sitting in the chariot to Bazarov, Arkady squeezed his hand tightly and said nothing for a long time. It seemed that Bazarov understood and appreciated both this shrug and this silence. He had not slept the whole night before, nor smoked, and had eaten almost nothing for several days. His emaciated profile protruded gloomily and sharply from under his pulled cap.

“What, brother,” he finally said, “give me a cigar… Look, tea, is my tongue yellow?”

“Yellow,” answered Arkady.

– Well, yes… well, the cigar is not tasty either. The car broke down.

“You really have changed lately,” Arkady remarked.

– Nothing! get better. One thing is boring – my mother is so compassionate: if she doesn’t grow a belly and don’t eat ten times a day, she is killed. Well, father is nothing, he himself was everywhere, both in a sieve and in a sieve. No, you can’t smoke,” he added, and threw the cigar into the dust of the road.

– Is it twenty-five miles from your estate? asked Arkady.

– Twenty-five. Yes, ask this wise man. He pointed to the peasant sitting on the box, Fedotov’s worker.

But the sage answered that “who knows – versts here are not measurable,” and continued in an undertone to scold the root for the fact that she “kicks with her head,” that is, twitches her head.

“Yes, yes,” Bazarov began, “a lesson to you, my young friend, some instructive example. God knows what nonsense! Each person hangs by a thread, the abyss can open up under him every minute, and he still invents all sorts of troubles for himself, spoils his life.

– What are you implying? asked Arkady.

– I’m not hinting at anything, I’m just saying that both of you and I behaved very stupidly. What is there to interpret! But I already noticed in the clinic: whoever is angry at his pain will certainly overcome it.

– I don’t quite understand you, – said Arkady, – it seems you had nothing to complain about.

– And if you do not quite understand me, I will report to you the following: in my opinion, it is better to break stones on the pavement than to let a woman take possession of at least the tip of a finger. That’s all … – Bazarov almost uttered his favorite word “romanticism”, but he restrained himself and said: – nonsense. You won’t believe me now, but I’m telling you: you and I ended up in a women’s society, and we were pleased; but leaving such a society is like taking cold water on a hot day. A man has no time to deal with such trifles; a man must be fierce, says a great Spanish proverb. After all, here you are, ”he added, turning to the peasant sitting on the box, you, clever girl, do you have a wife?

The peasant showed his friends his flat and half-sighted face.

– Wife? There is. How not to be a wife?

– Do you beat her?

– A wife? Anything happens. We don’t hit for no reason.

– And wonderful. Well, does she hit you?

The peasant pulled the reins.

– Eco word you said, master. You should be joking about everything … – He, apparently, was offended.

– Do you hear, Arkady Nikolaevich! And you and I were nailed … that’s what it means to be educated people.

Arkady forced a laugh, but Bazarov turned away and did not open his mouth the whole way.

Twenty-five versts seemed like fifty to Arkady. But then, on the slope of a gentle hill, a small village finally opened up, where Bazarov’s parents lived. Next to it, in a young birch grove, one could see a noble house under a thatched roof. At the first hut two peasants in hats were standing and swearing. “You are a big pig,” one said to the other, “and worse than a small pig.” “And your wife is a witch,” objected another.

“By the ease of manner,” remarked Bazarov to Arkady, “and by the playfulness of the turns of speech, you can judge that my father’s peasants are not too oppressed. Yes, and he himself goes out onto the porch of his dwelling. Heard, know, a bell. He, he – I recognize his figure. Ege-ge! how he, however, turned gray, poor fellow!

👨🏻‍🎓 “Fathers and Sons” in 11 minutes. Summary of chapters

Micro-retelling:
The medical student denied friendship, love, did not respect anyone, because of which he lost his friend and beloved, and the elders disliked him. Rejected by society, he settled with his old parents and died, not understood by anyone.

The action takes place in the middle of the 19th century in the Russian Empire.

Very brief content

A young man, the son of a landowner, returned home after studying and brought with him a friend, Bazarov.

Evgeny Vasilievich Bazarov – a convinced nihilist, a medical student, tall, fair-haired, with a long, thin face and whiskers, greenish eyes, intelligent, calm, self-confident.

Advertising:

Bazarov believed in nothing, respected no one, and quickly turned the older generation against him.

After some time, thanks to a rich relative, the friends went to the governor’s ball, where they met a beautiful young widow and fell in love with her. The widow invited friends to her rich estate. There she became interested in Bazarov, and the landowner’s son became close to her younger sister.

Bazarov did not believe in love and was frightened by this feeling, but the widow did not want to risk her peace. They broke up. Friends had to leave. They stayed with the parents of the nihilist, then the son of the landowner, who did not lose hope of conquering the widow, returned to her estate.

Bazarov went to a friend’s estate and began courting the landowner’s young mistress. The landowner’s brother, secretly in love with his cohabitant, found out about this, challenged Bazarov to a duel, and he wounded him in the leg.

After the duel, Bazarov had to leave. He went to the widow, reconciled with her and found out that the landowner’s son was in love with her sister. Bazarov realized that their paths were diverging, and parted with his friend forever. He returned to his parents, began to treat the peasants and died after contracting typhus. Before his death, he managed to say goodbye to the widow.

Advertising:

Soon the widow married for convenience. The landowner’s son married her sister, the landowner married his concubine, and his brother left for Europe forever.

Detailed retelling of the chapters

The titles of the chapters are conditional.

Chapters 1-11. Acquaintance with Bazarov

On a hot May day, the landowner Nikolai was waiting at the inn for his son, who had graduated from the university and was returning home.

Nikolai Petrovich Kirsanov – a poor landowner, 44 years old, short, plump, gray-haired, slightly lame, well-mannered, kind and fair.

Nikolay was born into the family of a general, graduated from the university, married the daughter of a minor official and lived with his beloved wife for ten happy years. Having become a widow, he barely survived the grief and now transformed his estate Maryino into a farm.

His son Arkady came with his friend Bazarov, whom he met less than a year ago, but has already become his faithful follower.

Arkady Nikolaevich Kirsanov – the son of Nikolai, 23 years old, fresh and ruddy, with a ringing voice, smart, kind, a little naive, subject to other people’s influence.

Advertising:

Bazarov was an ardent nihilist, did not recognize authorities, denied religion, respected no one, friendship did not exist for him, and he considered love a purely physiological reaction.

A nihilist is a person who does not bow to any authority, who does not accept any principle on faith, no matter how respected this principle may be.

Bazarov treated Nikolai condescendingly, and considered his brother, the well-groomed dandy Pavel, to be eccentric.

Pavel Petrovich Kirsanov – Nikolai’s older brother, 50 years old, handsome, slender, educated, a little arrogant, noble.

Having settled in Maryino, Bazarov took up the natural sciences and quickly became friends with the servants. Bazarov inspired confidence in ordinary people, although he had a low opinion of them. Only the butler of the Kirsanovs, who was an aristocrat no worse than Pavel, did not like him. He considered Bazarov a rogue and, like Pavel, treated him with disgust.

Ads:

Due to differences in views, Bazarov and Pavel became irreconcilable enemies, constantly arguing. Pavel did not like the appearance of Bazarov either, he called him hairy. In order to at least reconcile a friend with his uncle, Arkady told Bazarov the story of Pavel.

Pavel was a handsome officer, won many love victories in St. Petersburg high society, but then fell in love with Princess R., a strange woman prone to hysteria. The princess quickly lost interest in Pavel, but he could not forget her and pursued her until she began to avoid him. Ten years later, the princess died “in a state close to insanity. ” Upon learning of this, Paul, who never married, left the high society, settled with his widowed brother and led a measured life “in the English taste.”

Arkady tried to convince his friend that Pavel was a good person, but Bazarov believed that such admiration for a woman was “licentiousness, emptiness.” For Paul, principles were important, he lived by his own rules, he loved art. Bazarov recognized only what is useful for mankind, mainly natural sciences. He considered literature, music and even religion to be absolutely useless and longed to destroy in order to make room for something new. Pavel was irritated by Bazarov’s worldview and his swagger.

Advertising:

Nikolai was upset by the fierce disputes between his brother and Bazarov. He saw that young people treat him condescendingly and laugh at him. The only son did not understand Nicholas and moved away from him.

One day Nikolai received an invitation from a relative, a wealthy official, who came to the nearest town with a check. Nikolay and Pavel refused to go, and Bazarov invited Arkady to go instead of them.

Chapters 12-19. Meeting with Odintsova, love of Bazarov

A wealthy relative advised Arkady to visit the governor, who invited his friends to his ball. There they met Odintsova.

Anna Sergeevna Odintsova — rich widow, 28 years old, beautiful, tall, slender, intelligent, calm, imperious and cold.

Arkady was carried away by her, and Odintsova was interested in Bazarov – a man who does not believe in anything. Bazarov, on the other hand, spoke cynically about Odintsova: he did not allow “freedom of thought in women”, which greatly jarred Arkady.

Advertising:

Odintsova was the daughter of a famous gambler-swindler and an impoverished aristocrat, she received a “brilliant education” in St. Petersburg. Her parents died early, leaving her and her younger sister “a tiny fortune.” Odintsova married a rich old man, was his faithful wife for seven years, and after becoming a widow, she became the mistress of the large Nikolskoye estate. There were bad rumors about her in the province, but she ignored them.

Odintsova invited her friends to stay in Nikolskoye. They stayed there for fifteen days. Odintsova communicated more with Bazarov: he attracted this cold woman with something. She treated Arkady, who was shy in front of her, like a younger brother, and he began to seek solace in friendship with her sister Katya.

Katerina Sergeevna Lokteva (Katya) — the younger sister of Odintsova, 20 years old, dark-haired, swarthy, with dark eyes and a round, pleasant face, quiet and thoughtful, afraid of her domineering sister.

Advertising:

Bazarov, on the other hand, was always alarmed, angry, and very distant from his friend.

Gradually, the cynical Bazarov realized that he, a nihilist, was in love, and this unsettled him.

… it was not a flutter of youthful timidity, not the sweet horror of the first confession that seized him: it was a passion that beat in him, strong and heavy – a passion similar to malice and, perhaps, akin to it . ..

A servant of Bazarov’s parents came to Nikolskoye: they lived nearby and really wanted to see their son. Bazarov decided to take advantage of this pretext and leave. He informed Odintsova about this. She did not want Bazarov to leave. He confessed his love to her, but Odintsova was frightened of his passion and did not answer her, did not risk her peace.

Soon Bazarov and Arkady left Nikolskoye.

Chapters 20-22. Visiting Bazarov’s parents, return to Maryino

Bazarov’s elderly parents were poor landowners. His father, a retired regimental doctor, used to serve under his grandfather Arkady, his mother was a noblewoman, kind, pious and superstitious.

The old people idolized their only son, but they were afraid. Bazarov loved his parents, but treated them condescendingly: he almost did not communicate with his mother, laughed at his father’s old habits and rarely visited them – he was bored in the village.

As you look. .. from a distance, looking at the dull life that the “fathers” lead here, it seems: what’s better? Eat, drink, and know that you are acting… in the most reasonable manner. But no; sadness will overcome. I want to mess with people …

Advertising:

Bazarov was angry with Odintsova, but he was proud that this “woman” did not break him. Arkady liked his friend’s reasoning less and less, and when Bazarov called Pavel an idiot, they almost got into a fight.

Three days later, Bazarov got bored and left, which greatly upset his parents. In Maryina, Bazarov returned to dissecting frogs. Arkady tried to help his father, whose economic affairs were going badly, but he could not immerse himself in the problems of the estate, because he was constantly thinking about Odintsova.

One day he found out that his late mother corresponded with Odintsova’s mother, forced his father to find these letters and decided to use them as an excuse to visit Nikolskoye. After staying at home for ten days, Arkady left, while Bazarov remained in Maryino.

Chapters 23–24. Duel Bazarov

Bazarov was intensively engaged in science. He no longer argued with Paul and allowed him to observe scientific experiments, but their mutual hostility did not decrease. Nikolai visited Bazarov often, tried to study.

Nikolai cohabited with the daughter of the deceased housekeeper, Fenechka, had a son from her.

Fedosya Nikolaevna (Fenechka) — Nikolai’s cohabitant, 23 years old, fair-skinned, plump, with dark hair and eyes, timid and kind, but stupid, uneducated petty-bourgeois woman.

Bazarov communicated with her most willingly, and she trusted him. Fenechka was afraid of Pavel: he watched her and often silently appeared behind her back.

Bazarov liked a pretty young woman. One morning, finding Fenechka alone in the gazebo, Bazarov kissed her. In the afternoon, Pavel challenged Bazarov to a duel, keeping silent about its cause. However, Bazarov realized that he was called to a duel because of Fenechka, and suspected that Pavel was in love with her.

Each of them was aware that the other understood him. This consciousness is pleasant to friends, and very unpleasant to enemies, especially when it is impossible to either explain or disperse.

Shooting without seconds. Bazarov wounded Pavel in the leg and provided first aid to the wounded man.

By evening, Pavel had a fever and delirium. He said that Fenechka looked like Princess R., he loved “this creature” and would not allow “any insolent person to dare to touch it.” Nikolai did not understand that these words did not refer to Princess R., but to his Fenechka.

The next day Bazarov left. Pavel found out that Fenechka did not want that kiss, and asked Nikolai to marry as soon as possible.

Chapters 25–28. Bazarov dies alone, Arkady marries Katya

Arkady and Katya became closer and closer. He was freed from the influence of Bazarov, and the girl liked it: she felt that Arkady’s strange friend was alien to them.

Bazarov came to Nikolskoye to tell Arkady about the duel and immediately realized that his friend had changed, and their paths diverged. Bazarov talked with Odintsova, and they convinced each other that “love is a sham feeling,” and everything seemed to them. He told her that Arkady was in love with her, and that he treated Katya like a brother. Odintsova was flattered by this.

The conversation was overheard by Arkady and Katya. The young man was just confusingly explaining his love to the girl. What he heard gave him determination – he proposed to Katya, and she agreed. Odintsova let her sister go in marriage, began to rejoice at the happiness of the lovers, and they soon forgot about the conversation they had accidentally overheard.

Bazarov said goodbye to Arkady forever and went to his parents. In the village, he became homesick, abandoned science, and spent the whole of August treating the surrounding peasants.

Participating in the autopsy of a peasant who died of typhus, Bazarov became infected and fell ill. Realizing that he was dying, he asked to send for Odintsova. She came with her doctor, but he could not help. Bazarov managed to say goodbye to the only woman he truly loved.

“Goodbye,” he said with sudden force, and his eyes flashed with the last gleam. “Goodbye… Listen… I didn’t kiss you then… Blow on the dying lamp and let it go out…

Odintsova kissed Bazarov on the forehead – he fell asleep and never woke up again.

Advertising:

Six months later, Arkady married Katya, and Nikolai married Fenechka. Pavel left immediately after the wedding and settled in Dresden. Arkady took up the farm, and the farm began to bring in a solid income. Katya gave birth to a son. Nikolay got into world mediators and was constantly on the road.

Odintsova married “not out of love, but out of conviction” to a still young, smart, kind, but cold as ice man, a lawyer, “one of the future Russian leaders. ” They lived together and, perhaps, will live to love.

Bazarov is buried in a small rural cemetery. Old parents often come to his grave, supporting each other, and pray sadly for a long time.

Coronavirus and children: 12 questions about your child’s risk

Michelle Fernandez
BBC Future

14 April 2020

The information we have suggests that children are less susceptible to the threats posed by the coronavirus, but they can still get infected. Why does the virus affect children differently than adults? And what can threaten your child?

The waves of controversy sparked by Elon Musk’s March 20 tweet, when the pioneering entrepreneur suggested children were “basically immune” to the coronavirus, have not yet subsided. So far, all discussions have boiled down to the fact that although infection with this virus can be fatal for an elderly person, the disease is much easier for a child.

However, there have already been some alarming reports of serious illness in children as well. These cases, plus school closures in many countries, plus strict social distancing measures, have parents questioning the safety of their children. We tried to answer some of them.

1.

Do children get infected with the coronavirus?

Yes. Like adults, children exposed to coronavirus become infected and show symptoms of Covid-19.

“At the beginning of the pandemic, we thought that children did not get infected, but now it is clear that they do it in exactly the same way as adults,” explains Andrew Pollard, Professor of Infectious Pediatrics and Immunology at the University of Oxford. milder symptoms.

The Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention reported (February 20) that children under 19 accounted for 2% of 72,314 cases of Covid-19, and in a US study of 508 patients, there were no deaths among infected children ( while sick children in this group accounted for only 1%).

“The virus may have targeted adults in the first place because it was transmitted in the workplace and on travel,” suggests Sanjay Patel, pediatric infectious disease consultant at Southampton Children’s Hospital ( Britannia). “Adults are now spending more time with their children and we will be able to see an increase in the number of infected children. Or maybe not.”

The global trend suggests that children are less likely to be infected than adults (particularly older adults), but it is possible that the data is skewed by the fact that in some countries testing for the virus is offered only to those admitted to hospital with acute symptoms Covid-19, and there are very few children among such people.

“Obviously there are more infected children than we think,” says Patel. “We don’t test every child in the country.”

2. How does the course of illness in children differ from adults?

“In the vast literature that we already have on the novel coronavirus, there is a remarkable observation that even those children who have very serious comorbidities and who receive immunosuppressive therapy or treatment for oncology, get sick [Covid-19] much easier than adults, especially older adults,” says Andrew Pollard, who leads a team at the University of Oxford (Oxford Vaccine Group) that recently identified an experimental vaccine (a “vaccine candidate”) for treating Covid-19.

In general, children with Covid-19 have milder symptoms than adults. However, the deaths of a 12-year-old girl from Belgium and a 13-year-old boy from London have already been reported (March 31). These are the youngest (of known to us) victims of the virus in Europe. A 14-year-old was also reported to have died in China.

China’s Covid-19 Childhood Study data confirms that just over half of those infected experienced mild symptoms such as fever, cough, sore throat, runny nose, body aches and sneezing).

About a third had signs of pneumonia, often with fever, a wet cough, and wheezing, but without the shortness of breath and difficulty breathing that occurs in more severe cases.

Graeme Roberts, Consultant Pediatrician at the University of Southampton, explains: “Children [with Covid-19] are predominantly upper respiratory tract (nose, mouth, throat), so they develop cold symptoms, the virus does not descend into the lower respiratory tract – to the lungs, and there is no picture of life-threatening pneumonia, as in adults.

The proportion of children whose illness has progressed to a serious or critical stage with ARF (Acute Respiratory Failure Syndrome) and shock is much lower (6%) than Chinese adults (19%) – especially the older generation, with chronic cardiovascular or pulmonary diseases.

According to the February report of the WHO mission to China, only 2.4% of those infected are 18 years old or younger. In 2. 5% of them, the disease turned into a serious form, in 0.2% – into a critical one.

A small proportion of children, despite being infected, had no symptoms at all. “The most important question is whether the majority of infected children have very mild symptoms, or whether children simply do not become infected with the virus as much as adults,” says Patel.

3. Why do infected children tolerate the coronavirus more easily than adults?

“This virus is so new that we just don’t know yet,” says Graham Roberts, who also heads the Asthma and Allergy Research Center in Newport, UK.

“One possible reason is that this virus needs a protein on the surface of the cell to get inside and start its destructive activity. Apparently, the coronavirus uses the ACE-2 receptor as a gate. It may be less in children in the lower respiratory tract. Therefore, only the upper respiratory tract is affected.”

This may explain why the symptoms of coronavirus-infected children are more like a cold. The attraction of coronaviruses to ACE-2 receptors was demonstrated during laboratory experiments back in 2003, and also in 2013 during studies of the genome of new coronaviruses RsSHC014 and Rs3367 (similar but not identical to the SARS coronavirus) isolated from Chinese horseshoe bats.

According to Pollard, there may be another explanation. “Perhaps it’s not about children, but about the fact that with age, changes occur in the body that make it more vulnerable to the virus.”

He attributes these changes to the aging of the immune system, which weakens the body’s ability to fight new infections.

“However, we see that even young adults are more at risk of becoming seriously ill than children. So aging is not a complete answer,” adds the scientist.

The immune system of children differs in many ways from that of adults, primarily because it is still being formed.

Children, especially those attending kindergarten or school, are susceptible to many new respiratory infections, and this may explain higher levels of antibodies in their blood than in adults.

Perhaps there is less protein on the surface of children’s lung cells than in adults, and the virus has nothing to catch on

“Children’s bodies seem to react more intensely than adults to viral infections, such as high fever, which is not as common in adults,” says Roberts. “It’s very possible that children’s immune systems are better able to control the virus, locate it in the upper respiratory tract, prevent it from doing more harm, and eliminate it. “.

“It’s also possible that children who have previously been exposed to the other four types of coronavirus are somewhat protected by this experience,” adds Patel.

In addition, the authors of the study of infections in China believe that children are also helped by a smaller number of cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases compared to adults.

“Very few children develop the serious infectious disease Covid-19,” says Pollard. “It means there is something fundamentally different about how their bodies deal with the virus.”

There is another reason. In severely ill adults, the so-called cytokine storm (hypercytokinemia, an overreaction of the immune system to a virus) causes harm rather than benefit to the body, often leading to organ failure and death.

Children’s immature immune system does not create the same powerful cytokine response.

While this hypothesis has yet to be tested in the case of Covid-19, studies of children’s immune responses to the SARS outbreak in 2003 proved just that.

4. Can children with mild or no symptoms transmit coronavirus to others?

Yes, they can.

“It’s a big problem,” emphasizes Roberts. that children are perhaps one of the main ways infection spreads in society.”

Even if the virus does not cause the same severe symptoms as adults, the child will still be a carrier and spreader of Covid-19

Coronavirus is transmitted through direct personal contact through droplets in the breath (when sneezing and coughing) and touching surfaces contaminated with the virus. So children can easily carry the virus and pass it on to others – especially their family members and elderly relatives.

“Children with mild illness may be among the main carriers of the virus in society,” Roberts said. “That’s why it’s important to close schools to slow the spread of the pandemic in the country.”

5. Does a similar spread of infection occur in children with other diseases?

Yes, this happens, for example, with the influenza virus.

“In children, the flu can be limited to a runny nose, while in adults and the elderly it can result in hospitalization, resuscitation, and even death,” says Roberts.

And he says something else important: “Several years ago the British government introduced influenza vaccination for children. And this was done not so much to protect the children themselves, but to prevent them from transmitting the virus to their elderly relatives, who are severely affected by this disease.

The same is true for the coronavirus. The risk of Covid-19 for children themselves is low, but the risk of them infecting vulnerable older people, people with pre-existing chronic conditions, is high.

6. Do children of different ages get sick differently?

Looks like it. Chinese data show that very young infants are more vulnerable to the virus than other age groups.

Serious or severe disease has been reported in one in 10 infected infants, but this rate drops sharply in older children: for example, in five-year-olds and older, only three to four cases out of 100 were observed to have serious forms of the disease.

“Preschoolers are more predisposed [to serious illness],” emphasizes Roberts.

7. What about teenagers?

“At a certain stage in life, children begin to turn into adults,” says Roberts. “In teens, the immune system matures and begins to behave like an adult. This means that it is less effective in controlling the virus that enters the body. However, it is important to remember: We know very little about this virus so far, we are only speculating, trying to understand why we see what we see.”

In the Chinese study, there were no deaths among children nine years of age or younger, and only one death among those under 19 (14-year-olds).

On 23 March, an 18-year-old (with comorbidities) died from Covid-19 in Britain and a 13-year-old Londoner on 1 April.

8. Is Covid-19 dangerous for newborns?

Yes.

Although the pandemic is only just reaching many regions of the world, at least two confirmed cases of infection in newborns are already known – one in Wuhan, the other in London.

It is not yet known whether the children were infected in the womb or after birth. In both cases, the mother tested positive for the virus.

9.

Do we know how the coronavirus affects the unborn baby?

Not much is known.

Coronaviruses that cause SARS and MERS can lead to miscarriages and preterm births and can slow fetal growth (not yet observed in mothers infected with Covid-19).

While it seems to us that children are less vulnerable to coronavirus, this does not mean that they do not need to take all precautions

However, it is worth noting that those conclusions were based on two small studies. However, British health authorities have warned that pregnant women are at risk of developing severe illness if they contract the coronavirus, and are advising them to take extra precautions such as social distancing and the like.

10. How can a family protect their child from contracting the coronavirus?

Washing your hands well, avoiding direct contact with others, and disinfecting surfaces and objects that could get the virus are the main ways to prevent the further spread of Covid-19 – just like the common flu.

“Follow the ground rules responsibly,” says Patel. “If you’re on the street, in a public place, touch something, don’t touch your face until you’ve thoroughly washed your hands.”

The website of the British National Health Service has information on measures to be followed in the family to protect themselves from Covid-19.

UNICEF has also issued a guide for parents (English).

11. Can a family protect their elderly and vulnerable members from infection with a child-borne virus?

Yes, but it won’t be easy. Of the three main measures (thorough hand washing, disinfection of surfaces and objects, social distancing), only the last can be called a reliable protective mechanism for protecting old and weakened diseases from infection. This method, of course, works not only with child distributors, but also with adults.

“When I watched what happened on Mother’s Day, I saw a lot of families walking around, where there were grandparents and parents with children together,” says Patel.

“In my opinion, it was absolutely frightening: the data shows that the elderly, especially those with existing diseases, are the main risk group. And to exclude children from contact with them is the most correct thing. Why take such a risk?”

The separation of apparently healthy-looking children from their grandparents and other elderly relatives at first glance seems to be something excessive. However, it is worth remembering: in children, infection with coronavirus either does not manifest itself at all, or has very mild symptoms. But they still spread the virus.

Stopping the spread of the coronavirus depends not only on the success of science and medicine. It depends on our behavior, on whether we are ready to change it.

12. Why is it so important to talk to children about Covid-19

“We talk a lot about Covid-19 among ourselves, in society, in the media, but there is one important thing that parents should do: tell your child that he will not die from Covid-19. It is very important that the children understand this,” Patel emphasizes.

“All paediatricians know that children fear the worst, but they don’t always admit it.”

Pollard agrees with this. He invites all parents to reassure their children, to reassure them that under almost any circumstances they are not in danger of becoming seriously ill with Covid-19.

“Children, teenagers worry about their family,” says Lennea Karlsson, professor at the University of Turku (Finland) and child psychiatrist. to do such extraordinary things.”

“We need to explain that in a situation like this, we have to take care of everyone, not just ourselves and our families.”

A Daily Schedule for Kids, According to Age

family

By Alexia Dellner

Published Apr 24, 2020

In an effort to slow the spread of COVID-19, schools and childcare providers across the country have ceased operations, leaving many parents wondering just what the hell to do with their kids all day long. This would be a challenge under normal circumstances, but it’s even more difficult now that the usual go-tos—parks, playgrounds and playdates—are out of the picture. Add in the fact that so many of us are juggling childcare with working from home and days can quickly spiral into chaos.

So what can you do to reign in the mayhem? Create a daily schedule for kids to help give them some structure. “Young children get comfort and security from a predictable routine,” Bright Horizons’ vice president of education and development Rachel Robertson tells us. “Routines and schedules help us all when we know generally what to expect, what happens next and what is expected of us. ”

But before you roll your eyes at another color-coded, Insta-COVID-perfect schedule that accounts for every minute of your mini’s day (including a back-up plan for inclement weather), keep in mind that these are sample schedules created by real moms. Use them as a starting point to plan an itinerary that works for your family. And remember that flexibility is key. (Toddler on a nap strike? Move on to the next activity. Your son misses his friends and wants to FaceTime with them instead of doing crafts? Give the kid a break.) “Your schedule doesn’t have to be rigid, but it should be consistent and predictable,” says Robertson.

5 Tips for Creating a Daily Schedule for Kids

Get kids involved. Some to-dos are non-negotiable (like tidying up her toys or doing his math homework). But otherwsie, let your children have a say in how their days are structured. Does your daughter get antsy sitting down for too long? Schedule a five-minute stretch break at the end of every activity—or better yet, make it a family affair. “A good breakfast activity would be reviewing the schedules and moving things around so schedules match up,” advises Robertson.
Use pictures for younger children. If your kids are too young to read a schedule, rely on images instead. “Take photos of each activity of the day, label the photos and put them in the order of the day,” suggests Robertson. “They can be changed around as needed, but the visual is a great reminder for children and helps them be more independent.” (Tip: A drawing or printed photo from the internet will work, too.)
Don’t worry about extra screen time. These are strange times and relying more on screens right now is to be expected (even the American Academy of Pediatrics says so). To feel better about it, stream some educational shows for your kids (like Sesame Street or Wild Kratts) and set reasonable limits.
Have a couple of back-up activities ready to go. When your kid’s virtual playdate gets canceled or you have an unexpected work call, have a few things to do in your back pocket that you can whip out at a moment’s notice to keep your kid occupied. Think: virtual field trips, crafts for toddlers, STEM activities for kids or brain-busting puzzles.
Be flexible. Got a conference call in the afternoon? Forget the playdough making you had planned, and cue up an online story time for your mini instead. Your kid has a hankering for Rice Krispies squares…on a Tuesday? Check out these easy baking recipes for kids. Don’t throw all routines and rules out the window but be prepared to adapt and—most importantly—be kind to yourself.

The Brilliant Printable Daily Schedule for Kids That Builds Cooperation, Independence, Listening

Inside: Whether you’re looking for a toddler schedule or school-aged routine, this printable daily schedule for kids is customizable and can work for any age!

“What time do your kids go to bed at night?” a friend asked.

When I responded with 7 pm, her jaw felt straight to her pregnant belly.

I half-smiled because on the inside I knew she thought — if for only for a brief moment — that I had it all together.

Oh, far from it!

I said, “Well, I start the bedtime routine at 4:30 pm. If you start 2.5 hours before they need to be in bed, you’d be surprised what you can accomplish!”

And then she thought I was totally crazy.

So, of course, I had to break it to her that I was joking.

Real life (or sanity) doesn’t have time for 2.5 hours dedicated to nightly bedtime routine.

On This Page…

Here’s what’s included inside this daily schedule for kids.
Examples of how parents and teachers use this schedule.
Step-by-step guide for getting started.
How to stay consistent with your child’s schedule.
Sample routines for kids ages 1 month – 10 years old

Then I revealed my real secret.

Once we started using a set of printable routine cards with the kids, the nagging, yelling and reminding 7,457 times every day cut waayyyy down. The kids started following their routines all on their own (many times turning it into a fun game) and they felt more in control and independent and I felt a whole lotta less stress.

I’m going to walk you through my super simple step-by-step process for getting your child started with a printable daily schedule. This can immediately shift your morning, bedtime, and mealtime routines from chaos to peace.

Here’s what’s included.

The printable daily schedule cards that we use are totally customizable making them perfect for a wide-range of parents, teachers and caregivers. Here’s what is all included:

One set of 40+ pre-made cards for toddlers / preschoolers with names and pictures already done for you. Just print, cut and use.
Second set of 40+ pre-made cards with school-aged kids in mind.
One set of 40+ blank cards without the names. We left that part blank so you can write in the word you use at home. This works especially well if your kids speak a language outside of English.
And then…there are two editable templates included for you create customized cards. This way if any card is missing, you can create your own cards to specifically meet the needs of your child. (All you need is Microsoft Word or Mac Pages).

Here’s just a few of the ways past readers said they used them:

Preschool visual schedule for the classroom (we offer a licensed copy for teachers).
Autism routine chart for kids with special needs (see the reviews here).
Daily routine for preschoolers at home.
Printable daily routine for school-aged kids.

Check out this review from a mom who used this printable daily schedule with her son…

Step-by-step guide to start a printable daily schedule for kids.

In order to get started you’ll want to print the cards using cardstock or matte photo paper. You can use your home printer or have a local copy store (e.g. Office Max) print them for you.

Then cut them out. If you use a ruler cutter like this one from Amazon, it’ll go about 90% faster. Hello productivity.

You can also laminate them using these sheets if you’d like. This feels like an extra step, but it’ll keep the cards lasting much longer and save you from having to print and cut again in a few weeks when your kid tries to eat it or draw all over it using marker or stick it in peanut butter.

Once you print, cut and laminate, you’re ready for the next (and most glorious) part: teaching your kids to use the cards all on their own.

Step 1:

I love to show the cards to the kids and let them hold and touch them. I’ll usually say something like, “You’re going to learn how to get yourself ready for bed all by yourself. You’re going to get to make some decisions. This will help you be more independent!”

If there is another routine you are working on, exchange “ready for bed” with “at dinner time” or “at playtime” or “in the morning.”

Then focus on ONE routine for one to two weeks, allowing your child to gain more and more independence as you coach them through it. I found the most success coaching my oldest using a Language of Listening® approach.

Language of Listening® is a basic three-part coaching model, which always goes like this:

SAY WHAT YOU SEE®. Describe exactly what you see without questions, judgement, fixing or teaching.
If you see something you like, name a STRENGTH (something the child did well).
If you see something you don’t like, name something the child CAN DO instead.

Step 2:

Put your routine in the order that works for you all and tape it to the wall in an area that is easy for kids to see.

(Note: you can hang the cards up each day and have your kids pull a card from the wall and place in an envelope after finishing. I find we are more likely to follow through with the routine if we just leave it up all the time! If your cards are laminated, your kids can use a dry erase maker to leave a big check mark on each card completed.)

For the first several days, you’re going to have to offer coaching and guidance. “Show me the first step in your routine. Yep! That’s right! You knew the first step. You didn’t even need my help! Okay, show me the next step…”

A great phrase to use when communicating with kids is “Show me” and have your kids teach you how to do the routine. They love this!

Step 3:

Name any amount of cooperation that you see from your kids when doing the routine. “You put your bowl in the sink after eating. You knew that!”

In Language of Listening this is naming STRENGTHS. And it will set your kids up for success. The more you name the behaviors you like, the more your kids will show you those behaviors.

Step 4:

If your kids get off track, offer them a CAN DO. “Looks like you’re not finished with your routine yet and you want to play instead. There must be a way you can finish your routine and have fun!”

“You’d much rather play in the living room with your toy than do this routine. You can do the routine really fast and that will leave a lot more time for playing!”

How to stay consistent with a printable daily schedule for kids.

Once you’ve got one routine down with the kids, add in the other visual schedules or routines you’d like from the printable set. Adding these ones in later is much easier because the kids already feel super confident that they CAN do one routine all on their own.

I find this works much better than incorporating all the visual schedules into your daily routine at one time. For kids that can feel like a huge challenge with lots of change. Breaking it down smaller and focusing on success with one routine can make a huge difference!

If it feels hard at first, stick with it.

The hardest part is really getting that first routine down and staying consistent. After that, kids start to learn and use these printable routine cards as often as they demand a snack five minutes before dinner 🙂 So if you can commit to doing one routine for at least two weeks, the rest can fall into place.

Keep the daily printable routine out.

If you have a board or a wall that you keep the cards on, try keeping them out. I find in the busyness of everyday life that putting them up and taking them down leads to not using the routine cards.

This is also a great addition to any school night routine.

Keep it fun or make it a game.

Play is the work of a child. So the more you can turn your printable daily schedule into a fun game, the more kids will enjoy completing it. In the past, my kids have chosen different silly shapes to draw on each finished card (we use a dry erase marker on the laminated card).

We’ve also done it as a race to see how fast each kid can finish their routine. I usually let my kids choose the game to help them feel in charge of their own schedule. See what your kids come up with! They’ll likely think of something really creative.

Sample Routines for Kids.

I regularly get requests for a daily routine outline from morning to bedtime. There are several that we’ve used in the past for a variety of ages.

Daily routine for school-age child.

7:00 am – kids wake up, get dressed, come down stairs, read or color while waiting for breakfast.
7:30 am – breakfast.
8:00 am – free-play. Check out open-ended toys if your kids need help.
9:00 am – start schoolwork for the day.
11:00 am – I make lunch. Kids continue working.
11:30 am – lunch.
12:00 pm – read to the kids + 10 mins of silent reading time on their own. Sometimes I will read for as long as an hour! But 30 mins is the goal, and sometimes that’s all we do.
12:30 pm – Continue school OR independent play in their rooms. They do this for about 20 minutes while they wait for screen-time.
2:00 pm – Continue school OR 1 hour of screen-time per day. The kids each have their own Amazon free time account on their kid’s kindle. This allows you to limit everything to your child’s age and time allowed. It literally stops working after the time is up. If your child breaks it, Amazon will replace it. Another thing I love is that it allows the kids to decide if they want to play a game, read a book or watch a cartoon.
3:00 pm – snack.
3:30 pm – run errands, do an outdoor activity, head to the park, etc.
4:45 pm – chores and prep dinner. The kids have a little job bag they pick from and do 2-3 jobs each day. We use these chore cards for kids (No charts! Yay!) They also pick up the toys around this time and we avoid the bedtime toy battle altogether. Check out setting limits for your strong willed child for more on this. If dinner prep has simple things the kids can do, they help cook the food alongside me. I’ll also put out veggies to stave off the hangry howls.
5:30 pm – family dinner at the table. If you having trouble keeping your kids at the dinner table, check out these conversation starters here.
6:00 pm – clean up dinner – the kids help, then kids free-play
6:30 pm – bath/shower time (possibly only two days per week), pajamas, bedtime snack, reading or play with the kids. We don’t do all of this; just pick what you can fit in.
7:00 pm – bedtime. Kids are allowed to play in their room quietly. Our only rule is that they need to stay in their rooms.
8:00 pm – lights out.

Sample routine for 2 and 3 year olds.

7:30 am Wake up. Read and play.
8:15 am Breakfast
12:00 pm Lunch
1:30 pm Nap
3:00 pm Nap ends
3:15 pm Snack
5:45 pm Dinner
7:15 pm Get ready for bed
7:30 pm Reading with mom or dad
8:00 pm Bed

You can turn chaos into peace.

If you’ve ever thought, “Well, if I start the bedtime routine at 4:30 pm, that’ll give me 2.5 hours to accomplish what I need before the kids bedtime,” then just think of the possibilities!

Think of how enjoyable and peaceful morning, bedtime and mealtime can become. Powerful!

Daily routine for a child under 1 year old

Daily routine is a system for distributing periods of sleep and wakefulness, meals, hygiene and health procedures, activities and independent human activities throughout the day.

Compliance with a rational daily routine corresponding to the age characteristics of the child contributes to his healthy growth and development. Getting used to performing various types of activities at the same time, the child is prepared for the upcoming type of activity at every moment of time, which ensures their easier and faster implementation. Compliance with the correct daily routine provides a good mood for the child and maintains a keen interest in the study of the world around him, contributing to his normal motor and psychoverbal development.

The child’s daily routine includes the following obligatory elements: diet, time spent outdoors during the day, frequency and duration of sleep, mandatory classes to develop skills in accordance with age, free time.

In the first months after birth, a healthy newborn baby sleeps for most of the day, since all external stimuli are very strong for the nervous system of a child, accustomed to a cozy intrauterine environment, and cause its rapid exhaustion. As the child grows older, the duration of sleep gradually decreases and the time of wakefulness increases.

Age	Daytime sleep mode	Night sleep	Wake mode
From birth to 2 months	6 x 2. 5 hours	6 hours	During feeding
2-4 months	5 times 2-2.5 hours	6.5 hours	4 x 1.5 hours
4-6 months	4-5 times for 2 hours	7 hours	4 times 2 hours
6-9 months	3-4 times for 1.5-2 hours	8 hours	4 x 2.5 hours
9-12 months	2 x 1.5-2 hours	9-10 hours	4 times for 3-4 hours

Closely related to the sleep-wake mode is the feeding mode of the baby. The sleep of a child in the first months of life is very sensitive and is easily disturbed under the influence of various extraneous stimuli, including hunger.

Age	Mode	Example
From birth to 2 months	7-8 times, every 3 hours	6,9,12,15,18,21,24 (no night feeding)
From 2 to 6 months	6-7 times, every 3. 5 hours	6, 9.30, 13, 16.30, 20, 23.30 (without night feeding) 6, 9.30, 13, 16.30, 20, 23.30, 03 (with night feeding)
From 7-12 months	5 times, every 4 hours	6,10,14,18,22

A child’s stay in the fresh air is essential in the daily routine. The total duration of stay in the open air for children under 1 year of age should be at least 5-6 hours a day. Fresh air has a calming effect on the baby, improves metabolic processes, and increases the body’s defenses. In the summer, all games and activities should be held outdoors; in the cold and transitional seasons, two one-time walks of 1.5-2 hours are provided.

Fresh air also has a beneficial effect on sleep. By acting on the skin and mucous membranes of the nose and upper respiratory tract, it provides a faster fall asleep of the child and a higher quality of sleep. Sleeping outside can replace a walk, especially during the cold season.

The child’s daily routine is generally individual, but ideally, one should strive to ensure that the child eats after waking up, and then stays awake until the next sleep. A well-slept baby eats with appetite and then calmly and actively plays or engages, and tired of games, easily goes to sleep.

When your baby is awake, try to keep him active and cheerful. It is necessary to dress the child in loose clothing that does not hinder movement, provide access to toys appropriate for his age, and most importantly, actively participate in games and activities with the baby as a whole family.

Child’s daily routine, nutrition, development at 6 months

04/19/2019

Approximate child’s day routine

6 months

A 6-month-old child’s daily routine is becoming more and more stable:

A schedule is formed with predictable periods of daytime sleep.

Some babies are comfortable with two naps during the day, others sleep three times a day until 8-9 months.

It is worth paying attention to the duration of daytime sleep – morning and afternoon sleep should be at least 1-1.5 hours long so that the child’s body has a good rest. The third dream may remain short, it is better to start it between 15.00-16.00. Make sure that it does not end too late, otherwise the time for evening bedtime will shift. Morning and afternoon naps are recommended to be done at home, the third nap can be spent outside in a stroller.

When going to bed early, the best time to wake up in the morning is 06.30-07.00.

Regular bedtime appears

A six-month-old baby is already physiologically ready for early bedtime. The optimal time for leaving at night will be between 18.00-20.00. You will have a clear bedtime ritual that will help the child relax and make the process of bedtime easier. The ritual must be repeated daily. It takes 20-30 minutes to complete it.

The period of wakefulness of the child increases

Now, when forming the daily routine, one should focus primarily on the recommended waking time – in six months it increases to 2.5 hours with an established regimen with three daytime sleeps. Signs of fatigue in a child are already harder to notice, so you can miss the moment when the baby is ready for bed.

Total amount of sleep

Now the child needs to sleep 13-14 hours a day. Night sleep is 11-12 hours with awakenings for 2-3 feedings while breastfeeding. The number of night awakenings in formula-fed babies will be less. The total duration of daytime sleep at this age is about 2.5-4 hours.

Monitor your baby’s condition and follow the main recommendations of the table to understand how many hours of sleep he needs and correctly build a daily routine that will suit your six-month-old baby.

A table on the sleep and wakefulness of a child at 6 months will help you with this:

You can adjust the regime and adapt it as your baby grows in the Club MODE FROM A TO Z – read more.

What affects baby’s sleep:

1. By 6 months, your baby has already learned to roll over from back to stomach and back. Now he is gradually mastering new skills: he learns to pull himself up at the support, get on all fours, sit on his own and actively prepare for crawling. The baby can continue to practice new skills both during the day and in the crib during sleep. At such moments, he often wakes up and sleeps restlessly. This is part of the natural development of the child.

To help him get used to the new possibilities of his body, practice new skills while awake. Show how you can lie back down from a sitting position. And if before the child did not mind spending a lot of time in the stroller, now he needs time and space for active play during wakefulness. After 7-14 days, the child’s sleep will improve.

2. Skipping naps and going to bed too late at this age can lead to overtiredness, protests before bed and frequent nighttime awakenings. To prevent this from happening, try to follow a clear daily routine.

3. At six months, the baby may show the first signs of separation anxiety. Having become more independent, he realizes that he is not one with her. And the baby develops fear and anxiety that the mother will leave and will not return. If you find your baby won’t let go of you during bedtime, extend the ritual to include carrying, massages, hugs, and kisses. Offer your child a sleep toy that smells like you and “guards” their sleep. It is also worth spending more time with the child one on one, without being distracted by other things.

4. Teething is another factor that affects the sleep of children of this age. In the acute period, help the baby in every possible way, use teething toys and anesthetic gel as recommended by your pediatrician. As soon as the acute period passes, return to the previous sleep conditions and daily routine.

Child’s diet

6 months

Breast milk and infant formula are still the main complete food for the baby, from which he receives important nutrients.

But at 5-6 months, you will notice that he has begun to show interest in adult food – watching you eat, following the spoon with his eyes, opening his mouth and smacking his lips. At six months, it is important to maintain this food interest in him, gradually expanding the child’s nutrition. For this purpose, complementary foods are introduced. It is from the age of six months that WHO recommends including adult food in the diet of a breastfed child.

Complementary foods can be started with vegetable puree. Choose zucchini, cauliflower, broccoli. Then gluten-free cereals are introduced. If the child is not gaining weight, then complementary foods usually begin with cereals.

Water is also added to the diet from 6 months. But modern pediatricians do not recommend giving juices to a child in the first year of life.

The volume of complementary foods is small – in the first days, half a teaspoon of mashed potatoes is enough for a baby, then the serving volume gradually increases over 10 days to the required norm. Feed one food and see how your baby reacts. The best feeding time is the first half of the day.

By the age of 6 months, the feeding regimen is formed. The child eats on awakening and shortly before bedtime up to 5-6 times a day. Attachments to the breast are short, as the child is often distracted during feeding. The most frequent feedings are in the evening and active sucking is shifted to the last 2-3 hours before waking up.

The amount and frequency of feedings should be discussed with the pediatrician.

Development of the child

Thinking

The baby now distinguishes well between friends and strangers and can show his displeasure, being left without a mother.

Be prepared that the child will not want to let you go if you want to leave him with his grandparents.⠀

Communication

The kid already turns around at his name, listens to the voice of an adult and pronounces syllables in response to your voice.

Say his name as often as possible and name toys when communicating with your baby to develop his vocabulary.⠀

Physical development

Most likely your baby has already learned to roll over, master the skill of sitting and is preparing to crawl. Also, the child begins to transfer weight to the legs and can stand with the support of both hands. He stretches both hands to his mother, expressing a desire that she take him to her.

Parent Guide: 9 Tips for When Kids Ask Questions

Parents, do the constant questions get to you?

Parenting involves living through parts of your child’s development that consist of “why?” at least 45 times a day. Sometimes we feel so frustrated by the constant barrage of questions that we either 1) don’t know the answer to, or 2) don’t have time to answer. But, questions are important.

According to Don Miguel Ruiz in his book “The Four Agreements,” asking questions is vital. One of the four principles Don Miguel Ruiz writes about is “never assume, always ask.” Many of us don’t ask questions because we think it will make us sound stupid. But, according to Ruiz, asking questions “prevents miscommunication, doubt, mistrust and conflict in relationships.” So…

Have you ever heard the saying “the only stupid question is the one you don’t ask?”

Well, that is really true. Here at the farm, not asking questions can lead to all sorts of trouble. For example, someone did not ask where to turn a particular horse out. They were afraid asking would make them look dumb. So, they looked at the pastures, chose the nearest one, and let the horse out. In a few minutes we heard an awful commotion. Two horses were fighting. Yep, one of them was the one just turned out in that pasture. Seems that it did not get along with one of the horses is that pasture. That is why the two horses were kept in different pastures.

Talk about feeling dumb. Asking the question, “where does this horse go” would have been a much smarter choice, don’t you think?

Without further ado, here are some helpful things to remember when your child asks you questions.

1. Remember that questions promote curiosity, which leads to creative problem-solving ability.

Adults often see the world through years of experience. Children are often seeing and experiencing things for the first time. This fills children with curiosity, wonder, and amazement. Children often ask questions out of curiosity. They are not trying to annoy you. They want to know and understand.

Most of the world’s great advances have come because someone was curious. Sir Isaac Newton wanted to know why the apple fell. And probably why it tasted so good. Encourage your child to ask questions and be curious by responding with things like “Wow! Great question — you must be a curious kid!” and then answer, if you can. This helps the child see himself as a question-asker. See a child’s questions as an opportunity to engage with the child about something he or she is interested in.

Be okay with saying you don’t know the answer. If your child asks you a question you can’t answer, it’s okay to say, “You know, I don’t know!” Follow this up by encouraging your child to find the answer, or say “Let’s find out together” so you can show your child what resources are available to answer his or her questions and how to use them.

2. Let your child ask “why” questions.

This question usually drives most adults nuts. Sometimes because we don’t know the answer, sometimes because we don’t have the energy or time to explain at the time the question is asked, and sometimes it makes us feel stupid because we can’t figure out how to explain it to them. There is a great book, “The Big Book of Why” by the editors of TIME for Kids. It’s available at Amazon and bookstores everywhere. There are actually several volumes aimed at different age groups. It helps answer many of those questions.

It’s important for children to know why things happen, why they need to be safe, and why learning is important. Remind yourself that gaining information is important to your child.

3. Value your child’s questions.

If you get flustered or annoyed easily by your child’s questions, he or she may begin to think that you do not want to answer questions or that asking questions feels bad or is not okay. There has been quite a bit of press on what educators are calling the “Growth Mindset.” This mindset believes that there is no limit to intelligence. You are not born dumb or smart. You simply need to exercise your brain, and the more you exercise it, the smarter you get.

Questions are important in fostering this growth mindset. Give encouraging responses to your child’s questions, even if you don’t have the time or energy to answer right that minute. This will encourage your child to ask questions freely and feel good about being curious. If your child asks a question during an inconvenient time, set a time when you can look it up together. Be sure to follow through later; set a reminder for yourself on your phone if you need to.

Asking questions fosters a “Growth Mindset” which fosters intelligence and creative problem-solving.

4. Model asking questions in order to support your child asking questions.

If your child asks you a question, ask one back to your child. This can help the child think critically or find a creative response. Asking questions back can help foster better social, emotional, and cognitive development. Ask questions around specific activities. If you’re playing with trains, ask, “Why do we use trains? What do we use trains for? Where do trains go?”

If your child asks, “Why is that kid crying?” say back, “What do you think happened to make that child sad?” You can follow that questions with, “What things make you feel sad?” And sometimes, when you are at the end of your rope, it can feel pretty good to reverse roles for a bit. Try it and see.

“Monkey See, Monkey Do” really is true. They do what you DO, not necessarily what you say.

5. Create a secure space.

Make sure your child knows that asking questions is okay and that no one will criticize or judge questions. It is especially important for shy or insecure children to know that there is no “wrong” question (see the story about the horse earlier in this post).

Remind children that it’s okay to ask questions they do not know the answers to. An older sibling also struggling with self-esteem or self-evaluation issues may say, “that’s a dumb question.” Remind the kids involved that there are NO DUMB QUESTIONS.

Lots of us know the story of the little boy in Holland who put his finger in the dike and saved his town. If not, here it is. Mary Elizabeth Mapes Doge wrote a book in 1865, called “Hans Brinker,” otherwise known as the “Silver Skates.” Holland was largely under water and gained huge amounts of farmable land by building dikes to hold back the sea. A crack in any of these could spell disaster and drowning for huge numbers of people. According to the story, Hans saw a crack in the dyke. Rather than simply going on about his business, he asked himself: “Why is there a crack? What will happen if this crack gets bigger?” And then took heroic action.

Questions can be VERY important!

6.

Reward questions.

Children are often rewarded for having the correct answer, instead of for asking questions. Shift the focus to encourage questions. Give rewards for questions, even if the reward is just verbal praise. Children can learn that approaching topics through curiosity is rewarded, and rewards are not only for good test scores or high grades. This can encourage higher-level thinking and comprehension. For example, say, “I love that you’re asking questions. Let’s explore this further.” You can also say, “Wow, what a great question!”

They say that need is the mother of invention. If this is true, then curiosity is the mother of scientific discovery. We would not be where we are without curiosity and wonder. Young Isaac Newton was walking in an orchard, he noticed an apple fall. When he saw this, he asked himself: “If the apple falls, does the moon also fall?” This question put Newton on the road to all his future accomplishments. He later described the force of gravity and then concluded that all the planets and stars moved as they did because of this force, earning him the name, “Father of Gravity. ” Without Newton, we would still be wondering why we don’t all float away.

Albert Einstein also started by asking just one simple question: “What would happen if I rode a beam of light?” He went on to use mathematics to describe space and time. His theories completely changed the way we view space and time and have been confirmed by every experiment ever conducted thus far.

Your child could be the one who launches us into the next great step for humankind.

7. Allow time for children to think of questions.

Some days this seems like pure silliness. Some days your child may be full of questions and you may pray for a moment of peace. But other times, your child may struggle to come up with questions at first. That’s okay. Allow them time to think and come up with ideas.

You can designate specific “Question Times” when children think of questions they may want to ask. Don’t put a time limit on the process at first and let the children have time to think through their questions. This can also save your sanity.

Having “Question Time” lets you create a time and space for you to be open to questions. And let’s face it, when kids see that they have you flustered and on the ropes, they sometimes want to keep pushing. Children do feel relatively powerless, and when they realize they have power, they sometimes don’t know when to stop. Setting “Question Time” prevents this power tug of war from forming and ensures you will continue to promote their growth mindset.

There is a time and place for everything, including questions. Set a “Question Time.”

8. Roll with embarrassing questions.

Children often ask what adults consider inappropriate or embarrassing questions, especially in public, such as: “Why is that girl in a wheelchair?” or “Why does that man have a different color skin?” Don’t shame or shush your child for asking these types of questions. This can make the child feel ashamed, guilty, or embarrassed for asking a question.

Instead, answer matter-of-factly without making the child feel bad about asking the question. You can say, “Some people look different from you. Have you noticed that some people have glasses, some have curly hair, and some have different colored eyes? Every person is unique. Skin color is one way that people look different from you, but it doesn’t make people any different from you on the inside.”

Questions can encourage appreciation for diversity.

9. Make it fun.

Children love games, so work Question Time into playtime. Allow children to get excited about asking questions. Play around with asking questions. Remember playing the game “Twenty Questions” as a kid? There are lots of board games out there that encourage questions, too. The kid version of Trivial Pursuit, the “Would you Rather Be” game, “Guess who I Am?”, “What If”, or make up your own.

Questions can be exciting!

Why do children ask so many questions? (And how do we really feel about it?). beautiful question

Why do children ask so many questions? (And how do we really feel about it?)

A few years ago, American stand-up comedian Louis C.K. wrote a monologue for his talk about children and their tendency to ask questions. The monologue begins with a description of a mother who has come with a small child to McDonald’s. When a child asks why the sky is blue and a mother barks, “Shut up and eat your potatoes!” Louis explains to the audience that her reaction may of course seem harsh, but it is justified by the fact that “an adult is not capable of answering children’s questions. They don’t accept any answers.” If you try to answer, you will only end up in an endless circle of “Why?” questions. As an illustration, the comedian cites a conversation with his own daughter.

It starts innocently enough (“Dad, why can’t we go outside?”) but then Louis has to explain why it’s raining, why clouds are forming, why doesn’t he know why clouds are forming, why he hasn’t learned this lesson at school, why his parents didn’t care about his education and why their parents were just as bad. In the end, it all comes down to the fact that Louis is trying to explain to the child why “we are alone in the universe and no one cares about us.” The conversation inevitably ends with him stating to his child, “Shut up and eat your potatoes!”

This scene perfectly confirms the truth of what every parent – or anyone who is around a child of a certain age – faces again and again. What makes it funny, however, is the ruthlessly honest description of the helplessness of someone who has to answer questions. An adult becomes desperate, loses confidence, realizes his ignorance and insignificance – and all because of this harmless word “why”. As Louis C.K. makes clear, we can admire children’s curiosity all we want, but at some point we just don’t have the strength to listen to their questions.

Perhaps we are simply pissed off by the restlessness with which young children engage in questioning. According to child psychologist Paul Harris, studies show that over a period of two to five years, a child asks approximately 40,000 questions. During these three years, Harris notes, there is a noticeable shift in the nature of the questions: from simple, factual questions (for example, about the name of an object), the child moves (by the age of three) to the first requests to explain something to him. By the age of four, the lion’s share of questions is asked to get explanations, not just facts.

Such questions contribute to the rapid development of the brain. The latest brain-scanning technology used at the University of Washington shows how connections are formed in a child’s brain (some of the details of this laboratory study are depicted in Tiffany Schlein’s fascinating film “The Power of the Brain: From Neurons to Neural Networks”). In the brains of young children, lab scanners are detecting the explosive formation of connections between neurons (synapses), the total number of which reaches almost a quadrillion, which is more than three times more than in the brain of an adult. Children’s brains are constantly connecting stimuli, or thoughts. The creation of these mental connections causes the child to seek more information and clarification by asking.

It’s not that asking a question does not require any effort from the child. Harris calls this action “a sequence of complex mental maneuvers.” The process begins with the child realizing that he does not know something. Asking a question means, among other things, that the child is aware of the possibility of receiving different answers: “When they ask what is for dinner, they can imagine that they will be offered soup or pasta,” writes Harris in his book How to Believe What You say” (“Trusting What You’re Told”). “If you can’t imagine more than one possible way for things to exist in the world, then why ask the question?” Finally, this means that the child has found an effective way to fill a gap in his knowledge – by asking someone who might know.

As they embark on a perilous journey through the outside world—with the synapses in their heads relentlessly firing neural discharges—children are constantly confronted with things they cannot categorize. Children’s neurologist Stuart Mostofsky says they haven’t yet developed “mental models” to categorize data. That’s why they use questions as a request to help them get through the enormous amount of work it takes to sort things around them into categories, name them, and sort them into their respective boxes in the brain’s filing cabinet.

Why is the sky blue?

Perhaps this is a purely childish question, one of those that every parent is asked at some point. If you find it difficult to answer it, know that you are in good company. For many centuries, many great minds have been looking for an answer to it – from Aristotle to Isaac Newton. Harvard psychologist Nicholas Christakis, a member of the Edge project, which brings together people working at the forefront of scientific research, credits Newton and his experiments with refraction of light, which for the first time showed that “white light can be divided into its component colors. ” But this inevitably leads to another question: “Why does more blue light enter our eyes when light rays are refracted?” In the end, scientists figured out that the way the incident light interacts with the gas molecules in the air causes the light in the blue part of the spectrum to scatter more. Meanwhile, biologists have discovered another contributing factor: our eyes are more receptive to blue light. Christakis considers this example a vivid illustration of how much of the world of science can be “in the matter of a small child.”

When innovators talk about the benefits of the “beginner’s mind,” which Yoichi Ito, head of the MIT media lab, calls neoteny, they are referring to a state of mind that allows you to see things that have not been named or categorized. After things are given names and entered into a card file, they become known quantities – and we stop thinking about them and even noticing them.

Somewhere between four and five years of age, children are perfect at the process of asking: they have the necessary language skills to ask questions, their brains are still in an expansive, connecting mode, and they see things that are not associated with names or suggestions . They become consummate explorers.

Astrophysicist and popularizer of science Neil DeGrasse Tyson calls young children natural scientists because they destroy established ideas and combine the incompatible. In addition, Dr. Harris from Harvard notes that they have the qualities of anthropologists: they do not just conduct experiments, but also ask questions of the people around them.

Many people tend to think that children do not pay much attention to the answers. As Louis C.K. notes in his Why? monologue, no matter what you answer, they will still ask questions over and over again. But in fact, the answers are very important to them. Researchers from the University of Michigan found that when preschoolers ask “why?” they are not just trying to annoy adults or continue the conversation, but “want to get to the bottom of things.” When children were presented with intelligible explanations in a recent study, they either agreed and were satisfied or asked a follow-up question. But if they did not receive a satisfactory answer, they most often expressed dissatisfaction and repeated the original question.

As INSEAD educator and questioning expert Hal Gregersen points out, if you carefully observe what happens when children ask adults questions, it becomes clear that “the reason children ask “Why?” over and over again is often is that we do not understand their questions or simply do not listen. By continuing to ask, they try to tell us: “You can’t hear me. You don’t understand what I’m asking ““.

When children begin attending preschool, there are curious changes in the way they ask questions. Preschoolers find themselves in a stimulating environment where they are surrounded by other, equally inquisitive children, and have free access to an adult teacher trained to answer questions, which at first glance can be considered ideal conditions for asking. Despite this, they immediately begin to ask fewer questions. As Dr. Harris notes, this is confirmed by the results of studies conducted in various cultures around the world. In his opinion, the comfort factor comes into play here, since at home, communicating with their parents, children ask questions more readily than in preschool institutions.

But even in this setting, preschoolers ask questions more often than schoolchildren. In most preschools, the environment is less structured and allows for more free-form play and exploration, which may help children retain a predisposition to questioning and learning.

It is interesting to note that the more preschools try to be like normal schools (the more they bombard children with information and answers to questions they didn’t have time to ask), the more it stifles their natural curiosity. Child psychologist Alison Gopnik has openly criticized the trend of turning preschools into schools, supported by overly ambitious parents and (at least in the United States) federal legislation requiring standardization of preschool education.

According to Gopnik, when we start teaching too much, too quickly, we inadvertently deprive children of the opportunity to ask questions and do research they might otherwise do on their own. “Little children are an institution for human exploration and development,” says Alison Gopnik. When they are allowed to do research—to ask and analyze their own questions, using various forms of experimentation and not following strict instructions—they show more creativity and curiosity.

Gopnik points out that children learn in much the same way as scientists, through research and experimentation, and that we should be wary of a trend toward more structured and academic curricula at an early age. When children enter primary school, the effects of this academic rigidity begin to show fairly quickly and their propensity to ask questions rapidly declines.

Soon my youngest son will say the first word. The whole family is looking forward to this. When the baby starts muttering “me-me-me-me”, it seems that this word will be “mother”, and I look triumphantly around the family. Sometimes the son diligently pronounces “poo-poo-poo”, and the husband blooms with a joyful smile: “Almost said” dad “!” But most often the baby mumbles “yes-yes-yes-yes”, so, of course, it is most likely that he will say some banal “give” first.

Surprisingly, as soon as the child is learns to talk, everyone around immediately teaches him to be silent. “Shut up a little!” – again and again the institute girlfriend calls out to the endlessly chattering son. “Everyone shut their mouths, you will talk at home!”, the first teacher greets the little son of a friend. “Let’s play dumb. Whoever says the first word loses, ”a woman in a cafe wearily suggests to her daughter. And the girl is obediently silent, twirling restlessly in her chair and looking at the visitors of the cafe with restless button eyes.

Surprisingly, as soon as a child learns to talk, everyone around immediately teaches him to be silent

They want to talk so much! Listen to the sound of your own voice, share your first observations of the world with your parents, ask endless questions. My middle son, since he learned to talk and until the age of five, did not stop for a minute. He was constantly in such a cloud of sound, by the way, it’s very convenient, you can always figure out where the child is at the moment: muttering from the bedroom means that he played there, the sound is approaching the door – this is Mitya going into the room, nothing is heard – it means , asleep. You walk with him slowly by the hand, and he tells something. And the child does not need to agree or nod, he generally does not need an interlocutor, you can completely immerse yourself in thoughts, focus on your own, adult.

Eh, if I could return those times now – I would catch every word, remember all the conversations! Only a few years have passed, and getting a child to talk is becoming more and more difficult. My elder, for example, to questions about friends, hobbies, school, increasingly diplomatically, but firmly answers: “I would not like to talk about it.” And only in the evenings, lying in bed, my older sons soften and allow heart-to-heart conversations with them. And if, it happens, they ask: “Don’t leave, let’s talk more.” I sit until they fall asleep.

Parents’ comments

Mikhail Yashchenko

When he was little, he loved to tell his mother about his hobbies: dinosaurs, robots, etc. I just plunged into some other world, it seemed to me that I was a narrator, or an announcer, or a hero of a program, and they interview me, and I need to explain everything very well and in detail to everyone, so I could chat for hours about my heroes. I couldn’t even breathe from inspiration. But my parents nodded to me, agreed, when asked if they understood, they answered: of course. And only recently, already being a parent myself, I began to understand that my parents nodded just like that, well, what do they care about the structure of the body of transformers, for example, they themselves think about their own, about an adult.

Dmitry Ivanov

As a child, my friend was very fond of talking, and constantly came up with all sorts of fables either about his non-existent girls or about other feats. Since then, I think that the more a person speaks, the greater the concentration of lies in his words. And the more a person is silent, the more reliable he is.

Galina Konstantinova

My children do not like talking to us parents, but the two of us chat until midnight. We go into their room ten times in the evening, we swear, we shout, but they still continue in a whisper. It’s not even interesting to eavesdrop – they endlessly discuss some computer games or cartoons.

Curiosity in children is the norm, even one of the signs of giftedness, so it’s very good when a child asks questions

Mikhail Romanenko

I am really looking forward to when my little son begins to speak his first words. He seems to understand everything already, reacts to his name, turns around, comes up when you call him, constantly makes some sounds, turns on the TV himself, etc., but still doesn’t say anything conscious. But it will be great when he realizes that his thoughts can be expressed in words and will chat incessantly.

Galina Markova

When her daughter was just a baby, she memorized jokes and told us parents for a long time and in detail. Of course, we listened in a half-hearted way, and then pretended to be very funny. Then she seriously looked like that while we laughed, and asked: “What’s so funny about that?” I had to ask her to repeat and then explain the meaning of the joke.

Expert opinion

Elena Litovchenko, family psychologist:

Parents are the most important people for their little children, the most important, the most intelligent. That’s why they ask us questions, and not their little peers. Children under three years of age are generally of little interest to their peers. But from three to five years, the age of Pochemuchek begins. Curiosity in children is the norm, even one of the signs of giftedness, so it’s very good when a child asks questions, and anxious when he doesn’t. Answer the child should be competent and accessible, regardless of employment. The phrase “Shut up” or “Shut up” can instill a lot of complexes in a child. You can honestly say: “I’m tired, let’s talk a little later,” than through displeasure to communicate with a child. “Every vegetable has its time.” Remember that everything will pass and this too. Why do they happen only once. This experience of communication between a child and his parents is very valuable. Understanding that the most important people in his life will answer any question, help in any situation, will serve well in adolescence.

9 simple questions that your child will definitely ask you (if he hasn’t already!)

Sooner or later in a child’s life, the “Why?” stage begins. He asks questions about everything that surrounds him, and comes to adults for answers. It is often not so easy for parents to explain where the snow comes from and why the sky is blue. “Mel” and “Chevostick” chose nine questions that children often ask and found simple and understandable answers to them.

Why is the sky blue and the grass green?

As a rule, the first questions a child has are about his surroundings. If your profession is not related to the natural sciences and you remember almost nothing from biology lessons, it will not be easy to answer them. In fact, it is possible to talk about the seven spectral colors that pass through the atmosphere in a fairly simple way. Light consists of seven mixed colors – red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet (like a rainbow!). Before reaching us, the beam passes through a thick layer of air. Not all colors reach the ground, and blue turned out to be the most persistent.

The question of the color of the grass also turns out to be not so difficult: just like people and animals, plants need to eat. They eat water, sunlight and carbon dioxide, and the green substance chlorophyll turns them into useful substances. Of course, the level of complexity of the answers can be changed depending on the age of the child and the interest in the topic.

Where does snow come from?

If the child was not satisfied with your answer “from heaven”, then, firstly, you are lucky – you have an inquisitive person growing up, and secondly, you will have to dig a little deeper. The fact is that water from rivers and seas evaporates, and the steam rises into the atmosphere. We see approximately the same thing when a kettle boils, and steam rises from its nose to the ceiling. Already in the atmosphere, some vapor drops combine and then fall to the ground in the form of rain. If it’s cold outside, the drops freeze and turn into snowflakes.

What are mosquitoes and cockroaches for?

It would seem that these little creatures are nothing but trouble: in the summer they interfere with sleep, and their parents poison them with all sorts of means. In nature, they also do not allow you to take a calm walk in the evening. Cockroaches generally look like the main enemies of mankind, especially if you believe in the myth that they are able to survive a nuclear explosion. The main thing is to explain to the child that every living being on this planet (even if it looks very disgusting) is needed for some reason. For example, frogs, dragonflies and some birds feed on mosquitoes, and certain types of cockroaches on the ground have an important task – to eat decaying organic materials.

Why is my heart beating?

Adults try to answer this question in different ways. Someone compares it to a drum, and heartbeats to a rhythm, a pulse, which can also be felt by placing a finger on the wrist. Others describe the heart as the motor that moves blood throughout our body. If the child already knows a little about anatomy, you can tell him that the heart is the same muscle as those that he has in his legs and arms. Only, unlike them, the heart strains on its own, we do not need to take any action for this.

Where do parents get money from and why can’t they print enough money to have enough for everyone?

Financial literacy for children is one of those subjects that is lacking in modern school education. Some experts are sure that you can start talking with children about money even before school. In any case, parents should answer questions about money today. One of the very first and obvious – where do they come from in the wallet? As a rule, information that this is a reward for useful things that adults do at work should be enough.

But answering the question why it is impossible to print so much money that everyone has enough is a little more difficult (even for adults). Try this: each country has its own gold reserves. It is inconvenient to receive money with heavy metal coins, so the state decided to use paper bills instead. If more notes are printed than there is gold in stock, then their value will be equal to the same money that we play in Monopoly. And you can’t buy ice cream with them.

Why did dinosaurs become extinct?

Sometimes it is difficult for a child to come to terms with the fact that the heroes of his favorite cartoons and comics are no more in the world. It is quite logical that he asks the question: what happened to the dinosaurs and where did they disappear to. Here we have to explain that there is no definite answer yet. The most popular version is that an asteroid fell on the Earth, and as a result, almost all living beings died from this impact. Scientists also sin on climate change – it became colder on Earth, and the food that dinosaurs ate simply did not survive the temperature drop.

Why do different cities have different times?

This question is especially common among children if their relatives live in other cities, countries and, accordingly, time zones. Why do grandparents celebrate the New Year earlier than we do? Why does my uncle already get up for work when I go to bed? The best way to explain to a child how the division into 24 time zones works is with the help of a globe. You can carefully draw 24 meridians on it and say that there is one hour difference between each of these lines. Each time zone has its own serial number, they are counted from the Greenwich meridian – its number is “0”. If you move from it to the right, then the number of hours will increase.

Why does the wind blow?

Let’s start by defining what wind is. Cold dense air always tends to less dense and warm air.

Defining their greatness

We happen to believe that kids are pretty great to begin with

Our before and after school program is designed to help kids dig a little deeper and find those ambitions, traits and talents that will help them define their personal greatness.

From fun character-building and STEM-based activities to social interactions with real staying power, our program is ideal for “Growing Young Minds” – providing your child with the tools necessary to make their dreams a reality.

Shared experiences lead to lasting friendships

Social development is an important part of the role we play in your child’s life. Whether before and after school or during one of our camps, our program gives kids a chance to interact in a fun, stress-free and collaborative environment. Memory making occurs here daily as kids share experiences, and laughter is sure to erupt during action-packed activities.

Digging a little deeper to find those ambitions, traits and talents

Kids try new things as they gain confidence

Forming friendships and tackling challenges together are only part of the equation to becoming more confident. Opportunity and encouragement play major roles, too. That’s why our engaged teachers inspire kids to explore unchartered territories like sports, art, drama, science, technology, cooking and more.

Finding a passion and unearthing an unknown talent go a long way in building a kid’s sense of self-worth – assuring them they are truly enough, and their potential greatness knows no bounds!

Where curiosity launches innovation everyday

Curiosity launches innovation!

More robust than most, our innovative before-and-after school program is thoughtfully engineered for K – 5th grade students! We provide a wide variety of activities to fit their interests and homework help to ensure their scholastic success, while helping to provide you with homework-free family time at the end of the day.

Our program serves as an transition between the demands of school and the comforts of home, and our extended hours alleviate some of your stress, too! It’s about more than snacks and blowing off steam on the playground, we’re expanding their minds to new possibilities and encouraging them to act on new-found passions.

Silles, Douglas (Sills, Douglas) – Personals

Sills, Douglas

Profession Actor

One of the most charming and versatile American Actors Douglas Silles was born on July 5, 1960. He spent his childhood on the outskirts of Detroit. According to the actor’s memoirs, life in a noisy family, where, in addition to the younger Doug, there were four more children, it was like a comedy show.

Studying (Douglas attended the prestigious Cranbrook Schools) was easy for him. With a lively character, Doug liked to fool around and chat in class. He never fought for leadership with other guys: “I was afraid of becoming the object of ridicule, because children are often cruel, and I was a gentle child.”

In college, Douglas majored in psychology and mathematics, and although he took part in amateur productions and films, he did not intend to connect his life with the acting profession. However, several vocal lessons opened up new horizons for him. Taking advantage of the recommendation of the teacher, he entered the music school. Already finishing college, Douglas took part in the production of Chekhov’s “Three Sisters”. This experience completely changed his life.

Family support strengthened Douglas in his intention to become an actor, and the young man entered the music department of the University of Michigan. He then continued his studies at the theater school at the American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco. Since the late 80s, Douglas Sills began to appear regularly at the California Shakespeare Festival (The California Shakespeare Festival, 1987-1990), where he played several major roles. In 1989, Douglas took part in the National Tour of the musical Into the Woods (Prince Rapunzel). This was followed by a series of roles in regional productions of musicals and dramatic performances: The Philadelphia Story (C.K. Dexter Haven, 1992), The Secret Garden (The Secret Garden, Archibald Craven, Neville Craven, First National Tour, 1992), Showboat (1994, 2001), Chess (Freddie, 1995) etc.

Douglas Sills became widely known thanks to the role of Percival Blakeney in Frank Wildhorn and Nan Nighton’s musical The Scarlet Pimpernel.

By the time Douglas found out about the auditions for this musical, he had already decided to give up his acting career in favor of a career in law and even passed the law school test with flying colours. He told his agent that he was not interested in participating in castings.

It is curious that the actor’s first acquaintance with Percy Blakeney took place in childhood, when his mother drew Douglas’ attention to the performance of the American movie star Leslie Howard in the film “The Scarlet Pimpernel” 1934 “How good this guy is!” – she said. Remembering his childhood impressions of the old black-and-white film, Sills decided to try his luck again.

The librettist Nan Knighton describes her first meeting with Doug as follows: “June 1997. It’s not funny anymore. We ourselves are “looking, here and there…” We cannot find our hero. We’ve already reviewed a bunch of East Coast actors and now we’re sitting in a Los Angeles studio auditioning Californians. Suddenly, the most handsome man I have ever seen enters the room. He smiles, holds out his hand to us and says, “Hi, my name is Douglas.” I think, “Well, a person with such a bright appearance will certainly be professionally pale.” However, Doug sang two songs, played two scenes … He is great! We listen to him with bated breath. Now for the main test: Percy must be funny. Actually, Doug is not funny – he is hysterically funny. When he leaves the studio, we turn to each other, stunned. “I think,” Frank whispers, “we just found a Scarlet Pimpernel!”

Douglas Sills made his Broadway debut on November 9, 1997. Despite devastating reviews, the musical gained a huge following, calling itself the League of Scarlet Pimpernel. Their perseverance and firm faith in the show forced the directors not to close the performance in July 1998, but to almost completely rework it in order to open it again in November of the same year, in an updated form. The entire month preceding the premiere, Douglas worked on the image of his hero in a new way, polishing small nuances and honing the witticisms. And, as it turned out, not in vain – reviews from critics in November 19’98 was diametrically opposed to those released six months earlier. Douglas Sills’ work in the musical Scarlet Pimpernel received a Theater World Award (1998) and an L.A. Ovation Award (2000) in Los Angeles, as well as nominations for the Tony Award ” in the category “Best Actor in a Musical” (1998) and the “Drama Desk Award” (Drama Desk Award, 1998)

Douglas Sills appeared on stage in the role of Scarlet Pimpernel for about two years. In February 2000, he returned to the production as part of the musical’s national tour, and on June 18, 2000, the actor’s benefit performance took place in Los Angeles.

Although Percival Blakeney remains perhaps the brightest page in the acting biography of Douglas Sills, he did not become a hostage to this stellar role. On Broadway, Sills played in two more productions – Little Shop of Horrors (Orin Scrivello, 2003-2004) and On The 20th Century (Oscar Jeffey, 2005). d.)

The actor also worked a lot in regional theaters. His name appeared on the posters of such performances as “Mack and Mabel” (“Mack & Mabel”, Mac Sennett, 2000), “Much Ado About Nothing” (“Much Ado About Nothing”, Benedict), “Carnival” ( Carnival, 2002), Little Serenade (A Little Night Music, 2002), Moonlight & Magnolias (David O. Selznick, 2005), Setting Boulevard of the sun” (“Sunset Boulevard”, dramatization of the script of the film of the same name, 2006)

All fans of Douglas Sills note his unusually friendly attitude towards the audience, after the performance, Douglas will find a minute for each person waiting for him at the service exit – he will give an autograph, listen to enthusiastic thanks, and say a few kind words.

The owner of a bright tenor, Douglas considers himself primarily a dramatic actor, so he never released a single solo album. But his voice can be heard on the compilations Life’s A Funny Present, You Can’t Put Ketchup On The Moon, Tap Your Troubles Away – The Words and Music of Jerry Herman, The Broadway Musicals of 1935″, as well as on the official audio recordings of the musicals “The Scarlet Pimpernel” (“The Scarlet Pimpernel” OBC, “The Scarlet Pimpernel Encore!”) and “Little Shop of Horrors”. In addition, Douglas participated in the recording of demo versions of two musicals by Frank Wildhorn – “Dracula” (“Dracula”) and “Cyrano de Bergerac” (“Cyrano de Bergerac”).

In February 2009, Sills returned to Broadway to star in the New York City Center concert production of the musical Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein with Kristin Chenoweth. Music in the Air.

In the musical Little Shop of Horrors, in addition to the sadistic dentist Orin Scrivello, Douglas played a dozen more cameo roles, including female ones. Five people helped him quickly change costumes, three of whom were responsible for the costumes, and two for the wigs.

My kid hates school: What Can a Parent Do When Your Child Hates School

Опубликовано: November 14, 2022 в 2:10 am

Автор: alexxlab

Категории: Kid

I was not shocked or even concerned that my child hates school.

Is going to school in the morning accompanied by tantrums and sulking from your kids? Many of us have been there, and if you are like me, it’s tough to know what to do. Realizing that my child hates school wasn’t a shocking revelation, but it was a major wake-up call. There is always a reason for your child to hate something. So, if you want to help your kids through this challenge and resolve this issue, you need to start by finding out what’s causing them to hate school.

Is It Normal to Hate School?

Not liking school is perfectly normal, especially for young kids who are just starting school. There are always reasons why kids react to something new and different. Some reasons why your child hates school might involve being away from a parent for the first time. Other kids might be teasing or bullying them. Or perhaps they need time to get used to a new routine and a big change in their lives.

If your child hates school, they have a reason, and you need to determine if that reason is something you can help them deal with. Be forewarned; this might be the soul-crushing lesson of ‘you just have to deal with it.’ Their reasons might not be something that you, as the parent, can resolve immediately. You might have to focus on giving them the necessary emotional support and cuddles they need to know that you love them and want the very best for them.

What to Do When Your Child Hates School

If you know why your child hates school, you should focus on resolving the issues to the best of your ability. One of the most common reasons is bullying, which is a significant issue in schools today. When dealing with this type of problem, you need to approach the matter from two directions.

As a parent, you should focus on supporting and building their self-esteem and confidence. Remind them about all of their amazing qualities. Educate them on what causes other kids to bully and how not to be the victim. Make sure they are playing with the right type of kids. Point out their character strengths and how they are making a difference in this world. If you are not sure how to deal with this situation, or just want some support and guidance, get the help of a licensed therapist. If you notice a change in your child’s behavior where they suddenly hate school, address the issue right away. Showing them how much you love and support them is always the most important thing you can do.

The next step is setting up a conference with the teachers and school administrators to discuss this issue. You have to be proactive and have the school authorities investigate the matter. Then you need to all create a plan to deal with the bullying and bully. Most schools are highly sensitive toward bullying and will not tolerate these actions.

If the reason your child hates school is due to the stress of being overburdened with work, not getting enough sleep, or too many after-school activities, try to identify the things you can change. Most likely, your school follows a set curriculum that can’t be adjusted. You should evaluate what is essential to your child’s health and start making some changes there. You should be laser-focused on trying to reduce the level of stress in your child’s life. These are life-long skills that need to be learned as a child and mastered as an adult.

If your kid’s reason for hating school is anxiety, your job becomes more difficult. They need to know that school is not as a punishment, but a place where they can learn and enjoy themselves. This is not an easy thing to do, and again you might need the help of a therapist to identify and deal with the anxiety they are feeling. As a parent, spend quality time together, going over schoolwork and showing them what they learn in school will be things that they use in life.

What to Do If Your Teen Hates School: 15 Strategies That Work

“My teenager hates school, and I don’t know what I should do!”

Maybe this describes the situation you’re in.

Does your teen say that he hates school?

Does he complain about his teachers and classmates, and about how “useless” school is?

Or maybe your teen complains that the people in school are “fake”, and that it’s hard to make friends?

If so, I’m sure you feel concerned.

You want to help your teen, but whatever you’ve tried so far hasn’t worked.

Don’t worry.

Given that I work with students — the majority of whom are teens — for a living, I know how common it is for teens to dislike school.

Nonetheless, this is still an issue that must be addressed.

There are many powerful strategies you can employ to help the situation. In this article, I’ll outline 15 of them.

(Download the free bonus below to learn five more strategies.)

Why do teens hate school?

As a parent and as a coach who works with teenagers, I understand how challenging it can be to see your child hating school.

You don’t want your teens to be miserable, but you also want what’s best for them in the long term.

While academics aren’t everything, doing well in school does lead to more opportunities for scholarships, higher education, and employment.

Here’s the thing…

Before you can motivate your teenagers to enjoy school, you must understand why they dislike school in the first place.

For many students, school is like a roller coaster — full of nerve-racking lows and exhilarating highs. Threatening or lecturing your teens won’t help them navigate the heart-pounding ride.

Instead, let’s explore a few answers to the all-important question: “Why do teens hate school?”

They feel like they have no control over their lives

The teenage years are a time when they’re discovering their identity: their motivations, interests, values, and goals.

Teenagers are also growing up, which means that they’re developing their independence.

So, your teens want to feel in control of their lives.

But the traditional school setting typically gives them few opportunities to exert this control, outside of setting academic goals.

Most teenagers have few options with regard to which classes they’re taking, so they don’t get to study the topics that genuinely interest them.

Add jam-packed schedules and strict rules to the mix, and it’s no wonder that teens find school frustrating and sometimes pointless.

If your teen hates school, it could be a lack of autonomy that’s driving this feeling of resentment.

They feel overwhelmed and stressed

Waking up early. High-pressure extracurriculars. Exams, homework, and projects.

Teens today are more stressed than ever before. In fact, nearly one-third of teens report feeling overwhelmed, a figure on par with adult stress levels.

These statistics are a cause for concern.

As American Psychological Association CEO Norman B. Anderson, PhD says:

It is alarming that the teen stress experience is so similar to that of adults. It is even more concerning that they seem to underestimate the potential impact that stress has on their physical and mental health.

(If you’re concerned about your teen’s mental well-being, here are seven tips to support your child’s mental health.)

Help your teenager to manage stress effectively, and you might find that you no longer say that “my teenager hates school”.

They feel that school is just about getting good grades

Does your teen feel pressured to achieve outstanding grades?

Most students do. Yet academic success is about so much more than report cards and grades.

It’s important to show your teen that it’s not the outcome but the process that matters most.

Sure, it feels good to get excellent grades. But what’s more important are the valuable life skills your child gains along the way, e.g. critical thinking, organisation, planning, self-management.

If your teens feel the only purpose of school is to memorise facts and equations, they’ll struggle to find joy in the learning process.

They’re being bullied

Many parents don’t know when their teen is being bullied.

If you keep saying to yourself that “my teen hates school”, check in with your child to ensure that he or she isn’t being bullied.

Just because your teen hasn’t mentioned the issue doesn’t mean it isn’t happening.

If there’s bullying going on, don’t blame yourself. Instead, support your child and empathise with him or her as you find a solution together.

What to do if your child hates school

As we’ve seen, there’s typically a reason why your child doesn’t enjoy school.

Now, let’s explore 15 proven strategies that will help anytime you’re wondering what to do about your child hating school:

1. Don’t assume that your teen is being defiant or rebellious

As children enter the teenage years, they crave autonomy. They’re also forming their identity, all while their bodies and brains are going through drastic changes.

As such, teens often exhibit rebellious behaviour.

But don’t assume that this is the only reason your teen tells you she hates school.

Many times, there are other issues at play, e.g. feeling overwhelmed, struggling to keep up with schoolwork, bullying, fear of exams.

2. Think about what you’ve been doing that may have contributed to the problem

Here are some questions to ask yourself when you find yourself saying “my teenager hates school”:

Do I frequently nag my teen?

Do I always talk about school-related topics?

Do I talk as if my teen’s hobbies are a waste of time, or that they’re merely a distraction from her schoolwork?

Do I compare my teen with her friends, cousins or siblings?

Do I overemphasise the importance of performing well in school?

Do I frequently force or coerce my teen into doing schoolwork?

Do I sign my teen up for classes or programmes without first seeking her consent?

On their own, none of these behaviours will result in you having a disrespectful teenager who hates school.

But in combination, they’ll likely cause a power struggle between you and your teen.

Over time, your teen may develop even more negative emotional associations with school.

3. Use active listening techniques when talking to your teen about the issue

When you talk to your teen about why he hates school (and when you talk to him about other topics too), use active listening techniques such as the following:

Give your teen your full attention

Don’t multitask

Don’t interrupt your teen while he’s talking

Encourage your teen to keep talking, e.g. by saying “go on” or “tell me more”

Empathise with your teen

Seek to understand how he is feeling

Don’t judge

Don’t moralise

As far as possible, don’t provide unsolicited advice

Occasionally summarise what you think your teen has been saying and reflect it back to him, e. g. “It sounds like you feel as if your math teacher doesn’t explain the concepts well, so you dislike math.”

By using active listening techniques, your teen will be more likely to share with you what’s troubling him.

4. Don’t use threats

It’s tempting for parents to use threats to coerce their teens into behaving “correctly”.

Whether it’s threatening to reduce your teen’s allowance or take away her phone, it won’t work in the long run.

The use of power becomes less effective as children get older. By the time they’re teenagers, this approach doesn’t work, and tends to backfire instead.

In other words, it isn’t possible to threaten your teen into becoming a motivated and responsible student who loves going to school.

If your teen detests school, the root cause is probably emotional in nature. This is what must be addressed as a priority.

5. Don’t lecture

“My teen hates school — should I lecture him or her?”

Perhaps that’s the question on your mind.

I advise parents to avoid lecturing their teens. But if you really can’t help it, keep the lecture short.

Teens tell me that they start tuning their parents out about two minutes into the lecture. So you’ll be wasting your breath if your lecture lasts longer than that.

Your teen won’t respond well to you preaching about the importance of school. Nor will he start or stop performing specific behaviours because you told him that he “should” or “shouldn’t” do those things.

(When was the last time you started eating healthily just because a relative or friend told you that you “should”?)

Lecturing won’t help your teen’s anxiety either, if that’s something he’s struggling with.

Even students who have an intense hatred for school know that doing well in school is important. They don’t need you to remind them of that, because their teachers do that almost every day.

What does your teen need from you?

He needs you to listen to him, to understand him, to see things from his perspective – this is a parenting skill I encourage you to develop.

When your teen feels understood, he’ll change his behaviour and attitude.

6. Reduce your focus on school and academics

I’m not saying that you shouldn’t bring up school-related topics at all.

But many teens have told me that it seems as if school is the only thing their parents care about. And it’s true that many parents I talk to are mostly interested in how to get their teenagers to do their homework.

So make it a point to talk about topics that your teen is interested in, e.g. music, hobbies, gaming, social media.

When the conversations you have with your teen are more balanced, your teen’s attitude toward school will become more balanced too.

7. Help your teen to learn organisational and study skills

Many students who don’t like school feel overwhelmed by schoolwork, projects, tests, exams, etc.

Most of these students haven’t learned how to prioritise, plan, stay organised, manage their time, and focus when studying.

If this describes your teen, encourage – but don’t force – her to develop these skills. To do so, she can check out relevant resources and sign up for programmes.

This is the reason why I’ve developed courses like The Perfect Study Plan, and why I coach students 1-to-1.

When students develop the necessary organisational skills and apply effective study tips, they often stop hating school!

8. Acknowledge your teen’s progress and effort

One piece of feedback I get from many teens is that they’re discouraged.

They feel as if they’ll never be good enough to live up to their parents’ expectations.

Instead of focusing on your teen’s grades, focus on their effort instead. Whenever you observe her exhibiting positive behaviour, acknowledge it.

This simple act will mean a lot to her. It will also remind her that the reward is found in the journey itself, not just the destination.

By acknowledging her progress, she’ll be more likely to develop intrinsic motivation.

9. Talk to your teen’s teachers

Reach out to your teen’s teachers. Given that they interact with your teen almost every day, they’re likely to have insights into why he hates school.

All the teachers I know are insanely busy. So even if you’re only able to schedule a 10-minute phone call with your teen’s teacher, make the most of the opportunity.

10. Talk to the parents of your teen’s friends

On a related note, to get a better picture of what’s going on, talk to the parents of your teen’s friends.

These parents would have heard from their children about what’s been frustrating them at school. Based on this feedback, you’ll understand your teen’s concerns better too.

11. Ensure that your home is an emotionally safe environment

Teens frequently tell me that they don’t feel emotionally safe at home.

Why do they say this?

Because they feel that when they’re at home, they can be nagged, criticised, blamed, reprimanded or lectured to at any time. They feel as if they can be “attacked” without forewarning.

It’s only natural that they withdraw, locking themselves in their room if possible.

If the home environment isn’t emotionally safe, teens won’t share what’s on their minds. This will only make the situation worse, and you’ll keep wondering why your teen hates school so much.

When parenting teens, do your best to cultivate a home environment that’s full of appreciation, respect and kindness.

Emphasise that there are standards that must be upheld, but that every family member will always receive unconditional acceptance.

12. Determine if there’s something more serious going on

If your teen says that she hates school, it may be a sign of something more serious, e.g. depression, panic disorder, anxiety disorders.

Here are some symptoms to look out for:

Feeling tired most of the time

Poor concentration

Feeling worthless

Feelings of self-hatred

Changes in appetite

Irritability

Persistent sadness

Self-harm

Thoughts of suicide

Loss of interest in hobbies

Change in sleep habits

Frequent crying

Withdrawing from friends and family

Loss of motivation to study or do schoolwork

If your teen is exhibiting several of these symptoms, seek help right away.

13. Ensure that your teen’s life isn’t overscheduled

Sometimes, teens who hate school are simply worn out. They feel overwhelmed by the demands of school, extracurricular activities, etc.

They may be physically exhausted and sleep-deprived. This affects their mood, which makes them more likely to perceive situations negatively.

Teens need time to think, reflect, explore and dream.

Do what you can to ensure that your teen’s life isn’t overscheduled. Over time, you’ll see improvements in his attitude toward school.

14. Be patient and encouraging toward your teen

No matter how old we are, we’re all on a journey of learning, growing and maturing.

It’s a process for your teen to change her mindset, so be patient with her.

Encourage her. Support her. Empathise with her. Listen to her. Remind her that you’ll be with her every step of the way.

As you implement the other strategies listed in this article, you’ll see improvements such that you no longer think to yourself that “my teenager hates school”.

15. Help your teen to find a mentor

Teens who detest school need some perspective on their situation.

It’s hard for teens to develop this perspective because their problems seem so overwhelming.

From their point of view, the situation might even appear hopeless.

Furthermore, teens spend the majority of their waking hours surrounded by their peers, who have a similar worldview. This makes it even more challenging for teens to view their situation through a different lens.

Parents have a difficult time getting through to teens. This is because parents’ guidance is often perceived as nagging or lecturing.

This is the reason your teen needs a mentor. The benefits of having a mentor are well-documented, which is why I mentor teens to help them become motivated, responsible, and resilient.

Your teen is just one mentor away from making the most of his potential!

Mom! I don’t feel well!” a child screams from the bathroom, in which he locked himself 15 minutes ago. and, worst of all, this is the third time this month that a child has begun to complain that something hurts, just at the time when it is time to leave the house.What happens? sometimes complain about school.But about 5 percent of children dislike school to the point of refusing to go there.And this happens most often to those who are going to school for the first time.It is very important to understand why this happens.

There are many things parents can do to quell this fear. First, you need to understand if you are unintentionally putting excessive pressure on your child. Secondly, if we are talking about the fears of a child who goes to school for the first time, try to bring him there a little earlier. In this way, he or she will be able to get to know the school building in which so much time is to be spent, get to know the teacher better, and just adapt a bit. In most cases, fears of the first visit to school go away within a few days.

But if your child continues to express dissatisfaction with school or flatly refuses to go there, then it may even be worth contacting a specialist to help find out the true causes of fear, and find out if there are any health problems that can lead to this result.

While some children are terrified from the very beginning at the mere thought of going to school, your child may be one of those who attended school for a while without any problems and did not express any dissatisfaction, and then one day day announced that he hates school and does not want to go there anymore. Here are some possible causes of these outbreaks and ways for you and your child to deal with them.

Learning problems

When your child declares his or her hatred of school, he or she may be having difficulty learning. It is also possible that the child becomes bored, because he is better prepared than other children, and the knowledge he has is unclaimed.

No matter what kind of problem you have with your studies, you need to go to the teacher and clarify this issue with him. Of course, it is impossible to create an individual program for each child, but the teacher will undoubtedly be able to figure out what exactly your child did not understand and why something does not work out for him, and will be able to help. The same goes for children who learn below their ability. Also, if there are problems with learning, be sure to check your child’s eyesight and hearing. Perhaps the child does not see what is written on the blackboard, or does not hear the teacher very well, and is not even aware of it.

Problems with the teacher

Perhaps the child hates school because he does not have a mutual understanding with the teacher. Very often, in order to solve this problem, it is enough to put the child and the teacher together during breakfast and give them the opportunity to talk in a relaxed atmosphere. Every child wants to be loved by the teacher, and if he does not feel this, then he may not be able to study well. If the problem is not so easily solved, and the conflict with the teacher progresses, consider transferring the child to another teacher, for example, in a parallel class.

Bullying

A sudden reluctance to go to school may indicate that your child is being bullied there. If you think this is the case, choose the right time to talk about it with your child. If he or she refuses to talk to you about this topic, try talking to his friends, their parents or teacher. If you find out that your suspicions are correct, inform the school management immediately. As a rule, such problems are immediately suppressed by the school administration.

Loneliness

It may be that the child hates school because he has no friends there at all. Try talking to your teacher about it. The teacher, like no one else, sees the relationship of the children in the class and will surely be able to explain to you the true reason that the child is alone all the time and does not communicate with anyone.

Also, try enrolling your child in clubs and clubs that are available at the school. As a rule, extra-curricular activities and common interests contribute to the emergence of new friends.

Growing pressure

The reason for the emerging dislike of school may be a reaction to the growing pressure from teachers about upcoming exams. Fear of exams has become more and more noticeable in children in recent years, as the requirements and conditions become tougher. As a result, many children who initially loved school begin to hate it. In recent years, more and more schools have introduced a system of annual transfer exams, from the second to the eleventh grade. And starting from the middle of the year, children begin to prepare for these exams, constantly scaring them with the fact that they may not pass them or pass them not very well.

The best thing parents can do in this situation is to try to relieve their children of this tension, to calm them down, to convince them that nothing terrible is happening and that the upcoming exams will not affect anything in their lives. You just have to keep studying well and everything will be fine.

Keep talking

Ultimately, the best way to help a child who doesn’t like school is by parents and teachers. Talk to your child, try to understand why the school suddenly stopped liking. Meet the teacher, talk, try together to change the child’s attitude to school so that learning brings positive emotions.

As Maria Montessori, the founder of the Montessori educational system, once said, “One of the best tests of the correctness of the educational process is the degree of joy and happiness of the child.”

Teen hates school

A teenager hates school

A teenager lives with his grandmother. Doesn’t teach lessons at all. How to pass exams at 9class? The abilities are excellent. Laziness. I just hate school. Everything that concerns the school rejects. Sit 2 hours at the computer a day. Reads a lot, lego full room – collects everything that fantasizes. How to finish grade 9 with the OGE. Maybe let him not study, he has a year left, he went through the class from 4 to 5? Or give the opportunity to pass on 2 exams. But he will pass without 2, but the dream is a Lego engineer, how without education?

Tatiana

Tatiana, hello.

To be honest, it’s hard to find a teenager who sincerely loves school… Besides, at the age of 14, the main task, from the point of view of psychology, is still communication, studying oneself and one’s interests. Therefore, when a teenager goes to school to socialize, this is an absolute norm. It’s great if he’s still learning. But this is not always the case.

On the other hand, society makes great demands – to succeed in all subjects, to obey, to sit quietly, not to have an opinion, to look the same. For any child, this is torture. There is no ideal school system, of course, and everyone must go through such a “school of life.” And character is tempered when we learn to survive in it.

Unfortunately, I can’t advise you whether to keep your son for another year or whether he should go and take his exams. It can only be yours, joint with him, a conscious choice and decision. for which you will be responsible. Like all choices in life, it’s hard to make.

But as a psychologist, I can say with confidence that no grades are worth the happiness and healthy nervous system of a child.

Look, there is already something important for your son in this life – Lego, fantasies, construction. Try to grab on to it. To be a Lego engineer, for example, you don’t have to be good at biology or chemistry. But there are subjects that will be necessary, that you need to study in order to enter a university, and after that this knowledge will be useful in training and work. Perhaps if your son’s dream is serious and strong, he should try to concentrate on it.

The question is how to build a system of values and guidelines and follow them without becoming inflamed with what turns out to be unnecessary. This is respect for the interests of the son, and the reduction of requirements for him, and a softer and kinder position.

Talk to him honestly and in an adult way, because he is no longer 10 years old, he already has “brains” in his head: plans, goals, ideas.

Free app for kids: 21 free apps for kids (without hidden in-app purchases!)

21 free apps for kids (without hidden in-app purchases!)

The right free apps for kids can be a wonderful, no-cost tool to keep kids entertained while also encouraging learning. However, in-app upgrades and purchases can ruin the fun and “send your kid down the rabbit hole of inappropriate web content,” says Christine Elgersma, senior editor of parents education at Common Sense Media.

In order to avoid unintentional purchases or sending kids to unintended places, parents and caregivers can do some due diligence. “A great way for parents to avoid surprises is to have grown-ups test drive the app before making them available to the family,” suggests Lorraine Akemann, co-founder of Moms With Apps. You should also read app descriptions carefully, Elgersma recommends, because “each app store will tell you whether or not an app contains an in-app purchase.”

To help on your quest for kid-friendly apps, we’ve found 21 of the best free apps for kids of all ages that don’t contain hidden in-app purchases.

A+ app for kids!

My daughter(age 7) used Khan Academy in school prior to the 2020 pandemic. Our school district listed Khan Academy as a resource to use when schools began closing in March. We used it in addition to her other school work during that time.

We decided to try this app for our son that is preschool age but needs just a little more time before introduction to a public setting and teachers; he’s our spirited one. Our son (age 4) LOVES this app, he willingly selects Khan Academy when we give him screen time. He actually stays engaged for long periods of time and has fun doing it. He uses the information learned from his lessons and applies it to his toys or in real life settings. He’s even begun to read short stories!!

In conclusion, my personal opinion is that this app is amazing. If you have children that are already in school and need a little something to stay engaged; get this app. If you have a wild tornado child (our son) that has shown interest in learning but they are not quite ready to be put into a school setting; get this app. They go at their own pace and advance to the next subject after mastering the first. They also offer additional resources on the website for your kids, such as circle time videos, free printable worksheets. I wish more educational websites/apps worked like Khan Academy! Again, my own personal opinion and each family/child is different, but Khan Academy is a perfect fit for us.

It’s exciting to hear that your son is beginning to read the short stories! Thank you so much for the review! If you have any questions or suggestions for the app, feel free to reach out to [email protected].

Very well-designed for actual learning

My 4-year-old has been cruising through several apps over the summer and most seem to be designed to entertain kids with a hope that they’ll learn something, or they’re a mashup of kid shows and other “silly” content. I’m not saying they’re *bad* but my daughter is definitely more checked out after being on them after a while. They also don’t take into account kids different learning levels. The apps are the same for every kid.

Khan Academy Kids is not like that. You can pick the difficulty level to match your kid’s ability which is awesome. I set up two profiles for my daughter. One set at kindergarten level that she can use in her own, and one at 1st grade level that she can do with a bit of monitoring if she gets stuck. It’s awesome.

The whole experience is designed to promote learning in a way that’s engaging for kids but not silly. Everything has been designed with purpose. There are so many small details that I’ve noticed in the app that help my daughter get unstuck. They really do such a good job keeping kids focused on the right things and instructing in a way that is easy to understand and relatable for kids. Even the characters voices are soothing and child-like, as if it was a veteran kindergarten teacher speaking. Brilliant all around!

Our design team will be so happy to hear your feedback. Thanks for taking the time to leave such a detailed review. Feel free to reach us directly if you ever have questions about Khan Kids: [email protected].

Best Free Learning Apps for Kids

Bedtime Math
Ages: 3+

Available on iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, Android

The Bedtime Math app delivers a new story-based math problem involving basics like addition and subtraction each night, making math a fun, nightly habit for you and your kid.

What we love:

Together you and your kid can bond over a simple, 2-minute ritual before bed. With math problems ranging from pre-K all the way to high school, the app grows with your child’s skills. And hey, you may get to brush up on your own math along the way!

Possible downsides:

Some may feel the word problems lack variety, and a few videos the app suggests referencing for expanded context into the stories can only be found on the web.

Itsy Bitsy Spider by Duck Duck Moose
Ages: 3+

Available on iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, Android, Kindle Fire

This colorful, simple app introduces toddlers to phonics and rhythm through the classic nursery rhyme, “The Itsy Bitsy Spider.” The music is paired with zany graphics kids can click on as the song repeats. Each time it plays, the rhyme is a little different, providing plenty of variety for your little one.

What we love:

The app is infused with silly humor designed to get little ones giggling.

Possible downsides:

Kids might get tired of it after playing it through a few times.

Ages: 3+

Available on iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, Android, Kindle Fire

Khan Academy Kids feels like having your own digital preschool teacher! It has tons of different activities that are catered to your little one’s skill level so they can learn at their own pace. The app features a huge database of activities and educational games tailored to early learners. It focuses on diverse topics from math, phonics and executive function to creative expression and socio-emotional development.

With content focused on developing language and math skills, cognitive thinking, and social-emotional learning, Khan Academy has tons of value for your little one. The mini interactive games and activities are all introduced playfully with no disruptive ads.

What we love:

Parents can let their kids’ free play and give them opportunities to explore, experiment and even express themselves with drawing and narration games.

Possible downsides:

Some parents have reported that they have to reset their password every time they log in.

PBS Kids Games
Ages: 3+

Available on iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, Android, Kindle Fire

Shows like PBS have already been shown to improve cognitive, linguistic, and social outcomes for children three to five years of age, but research shows kids who consume PBS content in more interactive ways, such as in games, benefit even more. One of the best apps for preschoolers, it features the beloved PBS family of characters and offers more than two-dozen mini games based on PBS TV shows.

What we love:

This is another app that offers enough varied content to grow with your child. As an added bonus, kids will recognize their favorite PBS characters, from Daniel Tiger to Wild Kratts, only adding to the fun. It’s available on Kindle Fire on Amazon.

Possible downsides:

Some users feel the activities are too straightforwardly educational, with the fun factor taking a back seat. But for the most part kids seem to find it entertaining.

Breathe, Think and Do with Sesame
Ages: 4+

Available on iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, Android

This modified meditation app from the iconic children’s program Sesame Street can teach your child to calm down, and cope with and work through feelings and everyday frustrations in a way that’s fun and engaging.

What we love:

While kids learn the skills and tools for dealing with emotions in any environment or situation, you can also track their progress and identify which challenges they need the most help with (anxiety, bedtime or taking turns, for example).

Possible downsides:

While great for toddlers and preschoolers, it may not appeal to children 5 years and older.

Hopster Coding Safari for Kids
Ages: 4+

Available on iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad

Hopster Coding Safari offers young children an awesome introduction to “pre-coding,” without needing any previous coding knowledge to get started. For instance, kids start out by using logic to place a bear in a cave through horizontal and vertical paths. The beauty of this app is that it can help your child learn basic coding logic with little to no reading skills.

What we love:

The app teaches coding basics using a fun, step-by-step approach, starting with the logic needed for learning problem-solving skills needed for when they’re ready to start diving into programming languages.

Possible downsides:

The interface can create the mistaken impression that users have lost all their progress when tapping on the link to reach the second level, which can be frustrating. It’s also only available on iOS.

Toca Life World: Build Stories
Ages: 4+

Available on iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, Android, Kindle Fire

This beginner’s world-building app lets young kids build their very own stories. They begin by tapping on a location, like a post office or theater. Then they can add and create characters, customize their clothing, build their own buildings and move from location to location. Some locations even let kids record their voices and movements.

What we love:

The free version comes with eight locations, 39 characters and plenty of content to give your kid a good amount of interactive play.

Possible downsides:

While many fans of the app love that they can integrate other Toca Life apps and purchase more locations and characters to make the experience more exciting, some parents may not want the extra effort and expense.

PBS KIDS ScratchJr
Ages: 6+

Available on iPad, Android

PBS Kids has teamed up with the MIT developers behind the Scratch programming language to introduce kindergarteners and 1st-graders to coding fundamentals. This fun story-making tool features popular PBS characters whose actions kids can direct using simple code blocks. The game also provides backdrops and story starters to get them creating their own custom scenes.

What we love:

The app focuses less on coding instruction and more on creativity and having fun.

Possible downsides:

Some feel the interface is on the busy side, and the myriad of choices may be overwhelming to some kids.

BrainPOP Featured Movie
Ages: 8+

Available on iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, Android, Microsoft

What if watching a movie every day were good for you? With this app, it definitely can be. Every day there’s a new, kid-focused educational video available on topics ranging from history to holidays and current events. And after each video, kids can apply their new knowledge with a quick, interactive quiz.

What we love:

There’s something new every day, which keeps kids coming back for more.

Possible downsides:

While the content isn’t offensive or scary, some of the movies and quizzes may be too advanced for some kids at this age.

Duolingo
Ages: 11+

Available on iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, Android, Chromebook

Bonjour! If your kids (and you) are interested in learning new languages, look no further.

What we love:

The app makes learning simple with an easy-to-grasp visual map. Many themes, immediate and gentle feedback, mini-lesson popups and hints keep kids motivated to maintain their progress.

Possible downsides:

Though the app is highly recommended by parents, the best way to master a language is through actual practice and conversation. Some vocab words also allude to themes parents could consider inappropriate (i.e. “wine”).
