Respiratory viruses resurface earlier than expected in kids
Children are contracting viruses that cause respiratory illness earlier this year than usual. | Julie Jacobson/AP Photo
A WORRYING SPIKE IN RESPIRATORY VIRUS IN KIDS — The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported on Tuesday that it has seen a rise this summer in three respiratory viruses — rhinovirus, enterovirus and the more severe enterovirus D68, or EV-D68 — in children and adolescents, Krista reports.
Rhinoviruses, which cause the common cold, typically peak in spring and fall, while the usual enterovirus season is late summer and early fall. EV-D68 also peaks around this time, the agency said.
“It’s normal to see an increase in cold and flu illness each year, but this is occurring ahead of the normal winter schedule,” epidemiologists Caitlin Rivers and Katelyn Jetelina wrote in a blog post on Tuesday.
Although the percentage of positive EV-D68 test results in July and August mirrored peak levels in 2018, the CDC said, it’s been higher than the same period in 2017 and from 2019 through 2021.
EV-D68 commonly causes coughing, shortness of breath and fever, but the virus can also cause severe respiratory illness and acute flaccid myelitis (AFM), a rare but serious neurologic disease that mostly affects young children.
So far, 15 AFM cases have been confirmed this year and 45 cases are under investigation.
Is the twindemic here? Earlier this month, the CDC sent out a health alert urging doctors to be on the lookout for EV-D68 in their pediatric patients after hospitals and doctors in several regions reported a rise in hospitalizations in pediatric patients with severe respiratory illness who also tested positive for any of the three viruses.
Epidemiologists warn that a bad winter cold and flu season could be around the corner, with many kids’ natural immunity weakened as a result of recent Covid-19 mitigation measures like masking and avoiding crowds. Covid-19 is also still very much in the mix.
WELCOME TO WEDNESDAY PULSE — It’s Megan Wilson, your friendly neighborhood health lobbying reporter filling in for your regularly scheduled Pulse crew. Researchers recently took a look at how calorie labeling impacts what food-purchasing decisions people make at the grocery store. (Spoiler: Knowing how many calories in things led to a decrease in purchases of items from the bakery and deli. Prepared entrees and sides, though, didn’t have much of a change.) Send all your tips and high-calorie baked goods to [email protected], [email protected] and [email protected].
WANT MORE PULSE?Listen to the latest episode of our Pulse Check podcast featuring Ben Leonard and Adam Cancryn on the aftereffects of President Joe Biden’s recent declaration that the pandemic is over. Plus, Alice Miranda Ollstein provides a reality check from Capitol Hill, where the likelihood of Congress passing any additional Covid-19 funding seems slim.
MOST CHILDREN NOT GETTING COVID-19 BOOSTERS — Less than 15 percent of children ages 5 to 11 have received a coronavirus vaccine booster, says the CDC, which puts them behind other age groups, POLITICO’s Annette Choi reports.
Vaccination rates vary around the country, with Louisiana and Kentucky having the lowest booster rates among 5- to 11-year-olds. Meanwhile, Washington state has among the highest rate — roughly a quarter of its younger children are boosted.
SOUTH CAROLINA HOUSE REJECTS ABORTION COMPROMISE— The South Carolina House on Tuesday rejected compromise legislation that would have strengthened the state’s existing abortion law and banned the procedure, POLITICO’s Megan Messerly reports.
The House, which passed a more stringent bill to ban abortion in August, rejected 95-11 the watered-down Senate version that would have allowed abortions to continue on a limited basis.
The vote sets the stage for further discussions on the legislation in a conference committee between the state House and Senate. Ultimately, legislation restricting abortion could make a comeback — or not — as both are digging in their heels about their respective proposals.
Intraparty differences have cropped up in several states. Indiana lawmakers passed a bill in August with exceptions for rape and incest after the GOP failed to muster enough support for a bill without the exceptions.
GOP lawmakers in West Virginia passed a bill earlier this month banning abortion starting at conception, with exceptions for rape, incest and cases where the mother is at risk, after deadlocking on the bill for weeks over the issue of jail time for abortion providers.
Meanwhile, California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a dozen laws on Tuesday that aim to turn the state into an abortion sanctuary, POLITICO’s Victoria Colliver reports.
CORTEZ MASTO CAMPAIGN AD FOCUSES ON ABORTION — Democrats in tough re-election races are campaigning on abortion rights, capitalizing on the public sentiment surrounding GOP proposals on Capitol Hill and state-level efforts to ban the procedure.
Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto’s (D-Nev.) campaign unveiled a television ad in which she promises to “always fight for a woman’s right to make our own health care decisions,” adding that Republicans in Congress may move to ban abortion nationally.
Some polling shows Cortez Mastro having a razor-thin lead against her Republican opponent, Adam Laxalt, who backed lawsuits in Texas and Alabama that sought to ban late-term abortions while serving as Nevada’s attorney general. However, Laxalt has said, if elected, he wouldn’t support a national ban.
BIDEN ANNOUNCES LOWER MEDICARE PREMIUMS— Americans will be paying less for their Part B plan premiums next year — the first decrease in roughly a decade, President Joe Biden announced on Tuesday. The announcement comes six weeks before midterm elections, which will be crucial for Democrats.
Older adults and people with disabilities will save slightly more than $5 on their monthly premiums, with most paying around $165 per month. “That means more money in their pockets while still getting the care they need,” Biden said in a Rose Garden speech.
The decreases stem from a decline in the price of Aduhelm, a controversial and costly Alzheimer’s drug made by Biogen that initially led to a spike in monthly Part B premiums last year.
FLY-IN FOR OPIOID ALTERNATIVE PAIN MEDS— Advocates from the Voices for Non-Opioid Choices coalition, a nonprofit focused on increasing access to alternative forms of pain relief, are meeting lawmakers on Capitol Hill on Wednesday and Thursday, Krista reports.
Advocates from 11 states and Washington, D.C. are urging policymakers to support legislation that would promote access to FDA-approved non-opioid therapies for Americans who undergo outpatient surgical procedures. More than 160 members of Congress already support the Non-Opioids Prevent Addiction in the Nation Act.
“Reimbursement policy incentivizes the use of prescription opioids as first-line treatment for postsurgical pain,” several groups, including the Voices for Non-Opioid Choices, wrote in a letter to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid earlier this month.
“Despite the historic loss of over 81,000 Americans from opioid-related overdoses, the healthcare system continues to expose patients to potentially addictive pain management approaches,” the groups wrote.
The nonprofit FAIR Health released a report Tuesday showing that the proportion of patients who overdosed on opioids and opioid-like drugs — including heroin and fentanyl — compared with the number of people who used medical services increased in 42 states from 2019 to 2021.
DRUG INDUSTRY URGES BIDEN TO OPPOSE IP WAIVERS— The Biotechnology Innovation Organization sent a letter to the White House on Monday, urging Biden to oppose a proposal before the World Trade Organization to extend a waiver of intellectual property protections to Covid-19 therapeutics and diagnostics.
The TRIPS Council at the WTO will formally debate whether to extend the IP waiver in two weeks — something that could possibly be elevated for a vote as early as November.
I chatted with John Murphy, BIO’s chief policy officer, and Nick Shipley, the group’s top lobbyist, about its advocacy efforts.
Murphy told me that the group sent the letter to “spur some communication” with the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative because trade officials haven’t said much about where they stand.

Industry groups — including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce — have pushed back against the proposal to waive IP protections, saying it would contradict a recent executive order meant to promote biotechnology innovation and competitiveness in the U.S.
“If the U.S. were to come out and say, ‘We did the vaccine waiver, there’s no fact pattern on the ground that dictates a need for this expansion,’ that’s probably going to shut things down at WTO pretty pretty quickly,” Shipley said. “But they have been silent. ”

According to the governor, the criminal was eliminated on the spot. He specified that the alleged shooter was an 18-year-old man who was armed with a pistol and possibly also a rifle.
“He shot — horribly, incomprehensibly — 14 students and killed the teacher. Romas, the shooter, himself died and is believed to have been killed by the police,” Abbott said.
www.adv.rbc.ru
CNN, citing local authorities, previously reported 14 injured and two killed. According to ABC News, 13 people were injured, including a 45-year-old adult.

Attack on an elementary school in Texas: 19 children and a teacher were killed
Another 13 children were taken to hospitals with injuries of varying severity. A 66-year-old woman and a 10-year-old girl are in critical condition.
The attacker, 18-year-old local resident Salvador Romas, was shot to death. According to local press reports, he was a high school student at the same school.
The shooting at the school happened two days before the start of the summer holidays, so Tuesday was an unusual day: the children went to the zoo, and then the awards ceremony was to take place. Children were asked to come in smart clothes, not school uniforms.
The school is now closed for the rest of the school year.
US President Joe Biden said he mourns with the families of the victims and called for immediate action against the gun lobby that is blocking gun control laws.
“Motive unknown”
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said the shooter abandoned his car outside the school, entered the building and opened fire.
Local law enforcement sources say the shooter was wearing a bulletproof vest, armed with a pistol and an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle with high-capacity magazines.
According to police sources, before leaving for the school, Romas shot his grandmother.
He reportedly barricaded himself in the school building after the shooting.
The Associated Press reports that he was shot dead by a US Border Patrol officer who was near the school and rushed there when he heard gunshots.
Two more border guards were wounded during a shootout with a criminal. One of them was wounded in the head. Now they are in the hospital, there is no threat to their life.
The Border Patrol is a federal agency that guards points of entry into the United States. In Uvalda, which is less than 130 km from the border with Mexico, there is a border guard office.
Only about 16 thousand people live in Uvalda itself, 80% of the population are Hispanics.
Texas Senate member Roland Gutierrez said Romas bought the rifle as soon as he was 18 years old.
The attack took place at “Robb” school, where children aged 7 to 10 study. A little less than 500 people study at the school. About 90% of the students at the school are Hispanic.
The American media gave the name of the murdered teacher: her name was Eva Mireles, she taught children 9-10 years. Her page on the school website says she has a husband, a daughter who is graduating from college and three other family members with tails, and she herself loves to run and hike.
The district police chief said the shooting started on Tuesday at 11:32 local time (19:32 Moscow time). Investigators believe the attacker acted alone. His motives are unknown.
When the tragedy occurred, US President Joe Biden was on board the presidential plane returning from a trip to Asia, he was immediately informed about the shooting.
“There is a limit to everything”
The President of the United States ordered the state flags to be flown at half mast over the White House and other public buildings as a sign of mourning for the victims. Flags will be flown at half mast until the evening of May 28.
Arriving at the White House, Biden addressed the country with a speech in which he called on Americans to speak out against the influential lobby that defends the right to free possession of weapons.
“I hoped that when I became president, I wouldn’t have to go through this again. As a nation, we have to ask ourselves, ‘When in God’s name are we going to confront the gun lobby?’ – said the President of the United States. “Don’t tell me we can’t influence these carnage.”
According to him, the idea that an 18-year-old boy can walk into a store and buy an assault rifle and a pistol is fundamentally wrong. This kind of massacre rarely happens anywhere else in the world, he added.
Other influential Democrats spoke out about the need to tighten control over the sale of weapons immediately after the news of the tragedy in Texas.
“There is a limit to everything,” said Vice President Kamala Harris, calling for courage to adopt “sensible and sensible policies” to prevent similar occurrences in the future.
According to ex-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, America is turning “into a land of heart-rending screams” and thoughts and prayers alone are no longer enough.
“We just need legislators with the will to stop the scourge of gun violence in America that is killing our children,” she tweeted in response to what happened in Texas.
Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz, for his part, called the Uvalda shooting truly horrifying, but was skeptical about calls for gun law reform that he believes will not help prevent such attacks.
“Restricting the rights of law-abiding citizens won’t work – it’s ineffective and doesn’t prevent crime,” he told reporters, criticizing politicians who are “pushing their own political agenda” by calling for gun control. keeping children’s lives safe is providing schools with armed guards, the senator said.
When Joe Biden ran for the White House, he promised to tighten gun inspections and reduce firearm deaths by tens of thousands a year.
But Biden and his fellow Democrats failed to get enough congressional votes to pass a requirement to verify the identity of gun buyers.
The US and the use of guns
Armed attacks on schools have become a recurring emergency in the US, with 26 incidents reported last year, according to education magazine EdWeek.
Attack training is a regular part of the school curriculum, starting in elementary school.
One of the deadliest to date was the 2012 attack on Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut. Twenty of the 26 victims of this attack, by a 20-year-old boy, were between the ages of five and six.
According to data released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last month, firearms have overtaken car accidents as the leading cause of death for children and teens in the US in 2020.
The United States is the most heavily armed society in the world, according to the Geneva-based Small Arms Survey.
US nonprofit Gun Violence Archive recorded 215 gun incidents in the US in May 2022 alone, including nine in which more than four people were killed.
Just a few of these cases:
May 13: 16 people were injured in a shootout in downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Five people were arrested. May 14: 10 people were killed and three injured in Buffalo, New York, in a racially motivated attack. The shooter was arrested. May 15: One person was killed and four injured in an attack on a Taiwanese church in Laguna Woods, California. May 15: Two people were killed and three injured in a shootout at a flea market in Houston, Texas. The reason for the shooting was a quarrel between five men.
19 children and 2 adults died at a school in Texas. The most massive murder in the US in 10 years
Local residents said that one of the students was shot in the face. And Biden called for an end to the gun lobby in the United States.

A gunman shot and killed at least 19 children and two adults at a rural Texas school in the small town of Uwald, west of San Antonio, on Tuesday. The attack happened at 11:30 local time. Police have not released the names or ages of the dead children. At least three – aged 9 and 10, one of them in critical condition – were taken to a San Antonio hospital. It is reported by NYT.
Among the dead is fourth grade teacher Eva Mirles, who worked at the school for 17 years. Several children were injured, and the victim died. This week, the kids at Robb Elementary School were preparing to leave for summer vacation.
This is the biggest mass shooting since the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School ten years ago, when 20 children and 6 school staff were killed. Some of the students were under 6 years of age.
Texas High School Mass Murder: What’s Known.
According to police, the assailant was 18-year-old Salvador Ramos, who went to a nearby high school. He took several weapons with him – short-barreled and, possibly, a rifle. Before entering the school premises, he took down the barrier in his pickup truck. At least two policemen who tried to stop him were injured. They have minor damage.
A shootout broke out between law enforcement officers and the attacker, who had barricaded himself in the school.
It is also known that before the attack on the school, a 66-year-old resident of Yuvalda received gunshot wounds and was taken by helicopter to the San Antonio hospital. Later it turned out that this is the shooter’s grandmother. Perhaps there is a connection between this case and the school murders.

“He shot and killed, it’s unthinkable,” said Texas Gov. Greg Abbott.
“I’m afraid that among the dead there will be many children I know,” said Ray Chapa, a resident of Yuvald.
The police and ambulances arrived at the school building. Another local resident, Adolfo Hernandez, said that his nephew was in the classroom at the time of the attack and that a comrade was killed in front of him.
“He saw his little friend get shot in the face. The bullet hit the nose and the kid just fell,” Hernandez said.

Formerly Focus figured out why there are massacres. Top 5 mass shootings in the USA. In March 2021, several shootings took place at once in different American states. Texas Department of Public Safety Official 6 comments (USA) Chris Olivarez in a TV interview with local media shared the details of the state of emergency with the massacre of primary school students and several adults in the town of Uvalde. According to him, all 19students and two teachers of a Texas high school were killed within the classroom, in which the perpetrator barricaded himself before the police liquidated him.
“The shooter was able to get into one of the classrooms, barricaded himself inside and started shooting at the children and teachers who were in this room … Everyone who was in this class who was in his way,” said Olivarez ( quote from RIA Novosti). — This is a small classroom, where there could be from 25 to 30 students plus two teachers. A typical class with a group of children who were there all together and did not have the opportunity to escape somewhere.
According to a Texas police spokesman, local law enforcement officers almost immediately received a signal that an armed man had entered the school and made an attempt to neutralize him, but were met with rifle fire and lost several people wounded. The assault on the classroom, occupied by the criminal after the first skirmish with the police, began when reinforcements arrived. “They were also met with fire, but were able to shoot the suspect,” Olivarez said.
According to police, the attack on the school was preceded by a quarrel between the suspect and his grandmother, whom he shot and fled the scene in a car. The car had an accident near the school. At the same time, Olivarez denied reports that the offender, who had at least one rifle with him, allegedly left the police chase at that time.
The school attacker was identified as an 18-year-old local resident. According to a spokesman for the Texas Department of Public Safety, the young man lived with his grandparents, did not work anywhere and studied at a local high school. His motives are still unknown.
Fontanka wrote that the incident with the shooting at the Robb Elementary School in the city of Uvalde, Texas, happened the day before, on May 24th. Initially, 14 deaths were reported. Later their number increased. The mass shooting at a Texas elementary school was the deadliest crime of its kind in the United States in the last ten years.

The main argument of supporters of the liberalization of the sale and carrying of weapons is that the population can protect itself. So where? So how is it? Now the parents of these children can probably go and shoot this madman with their weapons? Or how does such an approach to the distribution of weapons among the population help them?
The police have already searched Ramos’ abandoned car and house, trying to understand the motive and find clues, but details have not yet been released. Judging by the pages on social networks, Ramos had two automatic rifles and a pistol, he photographed them, posted the pictures on the Internet. Shortly before the murder, Ramos hinted to one of his acquaintances that he was preparing for something. He sent her gun shots and wrote:
“I have a little secret that I want to tell you. Be grateful that I marked you.”
She said:
“It scares me. I hardly know you, and you mark me in a photo with some kind of weapon.”
The authorities have already reported that Ramos bought the weapons legally. President Biden, who addressed the nation immediately after returning from his trip to Asia, urged the country to change gun laws as soon as possible.
Joe Biden, US President:
“The idea that an 18 year old can walk into a gun store and buy two assault rifles is simply wrong. What do you need such a weapon for, except to kill someone? Deer don’t run through the woods in Kevlar vests. For God’s sake, this is just insane. Gun manufacturers have been aggressively advertising assault rifles for two decades because they bring them the most profit. We have to find the courage to stand up to this industry.”
But without congressional approval, the president of the United States can do nothing, and with the Republican majority in the Senate, supporting the gun lobby, the hands of Congress are tied. For example, the law on additional verification of all buyers of guns has long passed the lower house, but stuck in the Senate with no hope of passing. Today, Democratic Senator Chris Murphy pleaded with Republicans to help tighten gun laws.
Chris Murphy, Senator:
“What are we doing? We have more massacres than there are days in a year. Our kids live in fear every time they step into class because they think they’re next. What are we doing? This happens only in our country and nowhere else. Nowhere else do kids go to school thinking they might get shot.

Overall
The infant teachers are amazing and the owner is great however the subs that fill in for the infant room are horrible and rude . The young lady had an attitude towards me when I simply asked a question. As soon as I walked in I heard a baby crying so hard he was choking while crying in his crib and I said oh my god if that was my baby I would freak out . I walked out of the room to let the director know that they might need help because there was a baby crying. I stood there waiting for them to hand me the bottles out of the fridge raider because parents are allowed back there for over five minutes . I can’t believe how rude young lady was in a child care setting . Now I completely understand if they have their hands full and if they’re feeding both babies but that’s when you sit there and say hey I need help .

Friendly staff and owners
We have had a great experience at KrK Fairfield. The friendly staff in the school age room has not changed in the year we’ve attended. They clearly care for my child, and he thinks the world of them. There is a lot of screen time in the school age room between twice-a-week video games and Friday movies, but my kid loves it. I highly recommend KrK!

Getting in the groove
Wow! They’re making changes and getting with the new age. The owners, Larry and Susan, are always on-site and providing the best. They’ve updated the lobby to include a parent lounge and coffee bar! The new SmartBoard computer room is the best thing I’ve ever seen! Every school should have one of these. With the excellent teachers and the use of the Smartboard everyday, I have no doubt my son will be ready for kindergarten.

Would NOT reccommend
Owner Susan is the real problem there. The first time we visited she was very unfriendly and not interested in sharing any information about the center with parents. We got the feeling from Susan that we should be lucky enough to have our children there and that was all we needed to know. Unfortunately there are not a lot of options in Fairfield for childcare. Susan and her ever changing staff were a disappointment. Large numbers in the classes without enough teachers.

Children from mainland Russia: having fun in Crimea and not wanting to go home
SIMFEROPOL, July 3 – RIA Novosti. Thousands of children from different regions of Russia spend their summers in Crimea. More than 20,000 children will have a rest in the renovated Artek during the season, but besides them, children from all over Russia came to the numerous lesser-known health resorts of the peninsula.
Children on vacation in Alushta shared their fresh impressions and compared them with last year. The sea, the sun and the healing air, football and excursions — they don’t feel like returning home yet!
Natural inhalation by the sea
To find out how children from Russian regions go to Crimea, traditionally one should go to Evpatoria. The city was known in the USSR as a children’s health resort, and today it has largely retained its specifics. Having violated the canons, we went to the southern coast of Crimea, to the Kiparis children’s health camp in Alushta, surrounded by greenery.
Kiparis is located in that part of Alushta, where there are health resorts and boarding houses around. Vacationers tired of the sun walk everywhere, hiding in the shade of centuries-old trees. The air is saturated with health – cypresses, evergreen shrubs and trees make the Alushta region a natural inhaler.
Kiparis, in Soviet times a children’s camp, but today a private structure, occupies three hectares. From its territory, a view of the Demerdzhi massif with the rock of Catherine II opens, and the sea is just a stone’s throw away. Children are accommodated in two 4-storey buildings with 250 beds each, in 3-4-5-6-bed rooms. Facilities in the block or on the floor. At the time of our communication, the second shift was taking place, there were 460 children from different regions of Russia in the camp: Moscow, Yakutsk, Komsomolsk-on-Amur, Sevastopol, Simferopol, there were also children from Donbass and Luhansk.
No worse than Sochi, and the sea is warm
The sea is one of the brightest impressions of children. The day before, they hit the coast for the first time in a week – the rains that charged in Crimea interfered. But the weather has improved, and now everyone is vying to share their impressions. 11-year-old Polina from Moscow, while modeling plasticine crafts with her friends, said that she really liked the sea: “Warm, no worse than in Sochi.” It turns out that she was vacationing in the Olympic region with her parents last year, but the impressions of a vacation in Alushta are incomparable.
“I like it very much, but for now I don’t miss my parents. The nature is very beautiful,” says Polina.
“It’s fun here, and you don’t want to go home at all,” other guys from different regions of Russia echo. Those who are bored will be able to see their father and mother on July 5, on the official “parents’ day”
Changing time zones is not a hindrance
Vouchers for shifts at Kiparis were purchased mainly centrally by the regions of Russia. A large company of children – 240 people – came to Crimea from Moscow, Sevastopol bought tickets for 100 children, 35 boys and girls from Yakutsk will form their first impressions of the Russian peninsula in these July days.
Everyone is happy, the most vivid impressions are trees, those evergreen arrow-shaped cypresses and the Crimean mountains. The children were just acclimatizing – they were tired of the double flight from Yakutsk to Simferopol via Moscow and the difference of six hours. Now they, along with the Crimean children, go to bed and wake up.
Away from the war
Children from Lugansk and Donetsk are among the vacationers in the sanatorium. 14-year-old Sofia said that her parents bought her a ticket to Alushta, and the whole family moved to live in Crimea.
“It’s just unbearable to be there, bombing, shooting. I communicate with my classmates while it’s quiet in their city, but it’s still scary there,” says Sofia. She adds that everyone who had the opportunity to take their children out of the city has already done so. However, there are still many children in the city.
Cousins Masha and Zhenya came on vacation to Alushta from Donetsk region, from Konstantinovka, which is now under the control of the Ukrainian army. They say that the battles took place last year, since then the war in Donbas has bypassed their hometown. The girls had been to Alushta before, but they came to this camp for the first time and were full of impressions. Their parents sent them away from the war by purchasing tickets to the Crimea.
Counselors, for whom the camp has become native
The senior counselor of “Kiparis” Alushtinka Marina Levina has been working in it for the eighth season, and the camp has become her native. She showed the rooms where her wards rest, led them through the camp to the sports complex. Here the boys, together with the fizruk, held a football match. After another goal scored, we listen to the whole range of sporting events: basketball, volleyball, table tennis, weight training equipment, swimming pool.
Then we move to the outdoor cinema and stage, where various events are held almost daily. Posters and drawings by children and posters hang on the walls, testifying to the vibrant cultural and social life of the camp.
“Children never get bored: excursions, sections, trips to the sea, discos, a radio studio with their own DJ, chosen by the children themselves. all the children from this shift who will have a birthday in the camp. We have 37 of them. Cake and congratulations are provided,” says Marina.
Comparing the life of the camp in the Ukrainian Crimea and today, the counselor notes the increased discipline. Round-the-clock security appeared at the entrance to the camp, and there was more order in the organization of camp life. “But everything, of course, in moderation – not in the way that Evstigneev’s hero demanded in the film “Welcome or no strangers allowed,” Marina laughs.
The camp counselors are students of the Simferopol University who combine their duties with vacations in the South Coast. The best assessment of their activities was the unanimous “no” from the lips of the children to the provocative question whether it is worth changing the leaders in “Cypress”.

Course of the lesson:
Guys, you remember how navigators from distant Greece sailed to the shores of our peninsula and decided to move up to the shores on its banks? Building cities on the Crimean land, the Greeks wanted to see plants familiar to them around them. So they brought and planted a walnut. So this tree also fell on the Crimean land. Take a look at it. This is a cypress. He liked it very much with us: there is a lot of heat and light. So cypress grows in the Crimea without any human care. Isn’t it a beautiful tree? Do you think cypress sheds its leaves in autumn? Why? (children’s answers). Cypress is an evergreen tree. How do you understand this word? (Answers of children). Its thin needle-leaves are forever, which means they always remain green.
The Greeks called the cypress “the green bum” because it does not bear fruit. Yes, there are foolish people these days who don’t like cypress for that. And the cypress bears fruit. True, for humans, these fruits are inedible. But after all, not only a person on earth needs to eat. Cypress seeds are husked from cones by woodpeckers, tits, robins, sparrows and many other birds. Wise people have noticed that oil from the fruits and needles of cypress can be used to prepare medicinal oils and infusions. Near cypresses, even the air is cleaner. Carpenter beetles and moths are afraid of the smell of cypress wood, therefore in the old days the most valuable books were stored in cypress chests. And not only caskets were made of cypress wood, but also icons and figurines. Even ships. Now they make furniture out of it. Pick up saw cuts of cypress wood. Smell the aroma of this wood.
The beauty and harmony of cypress attract the attention of artists. They often draw them. Find cypresses in these reproductions of paintings by Ivan Konstantinovich Aivazovsky. (Children do the task).
In many cultures, cypress is considered a tree of sadness and sadness. Because of this, cypresses were often planted in cemeteries. In Crimea, too, there is such a tradition. And that’s why cypress is a tree of sadness, says the legend of cypress.
Listen to the legend “Poplar, pomegranate and cypress”.
Legend “Poplar, pomegranate and cypress”
“A fisherman and his wife lived on the sea coast. They were hardworking and very kind people, ready to shelter travelers, to share the last piece with the poor. Needless to say, the locals deeply respected the fisherman and his wife. Good fame was about them in the Crimea. And next to the good was the glory of the bad – about the children of these honest people, about the three daughters of relatives. The eldest daughter’s name was Topolina. In appearance she was ugly, short, clumsy. And by nature – evil-prezla. To annoy her neighbors, she eavesdropped on other people’s secrets, and then divulged them all over the coast. Day and night she cursed her parents for her ugliness, for her tiny stature. The second daughter, Grenade, is obsessed with pink. She reproached her father and mother for not being beautiful and for not having rosy cheeks. Now, if she were like a rose, all passers-by would stop and look at her with admiration.
The youngest, Cypress, was beautiful and had a cheerful disposition. But under the influence of older sisters, she also mocked her father and mother. Like, they gave birth to her into the light of day not during the day, but at night, which is why she is so frisky and laughing.
It was hard for the parents to listen to the reproaches of their children. But what can you do? Parental love is blind and helpless. The old people silently endured the tricks of their daughters, endured ridicule from them. And, to avoid trouble, they often went to the mountains. There they lived for several days. One day, when they were at home, all three daughters broke into the hut. Angered by some street incident, they attacked their father and mother with their fists. – Oh, heaven, – the parents pleaded. – Is there a force that could protect us from our children!
Before they had time to utter these words, a voice rang out: – Topolina! You curse your parents for being short. So become the highest tree, which will always be without flowers and fruits. No bird but a raven will nest on you… – Grenade! Your wish will also come true. You will become a tree with pink flowers and everyone will stop and admire them. But no one will bend down to smell these beautiful flowers, because they will not have a smell . .. – Cypress! You will suffer the fate of your sisters. You complained about your cheerful disposition – you will become a beautiful and sad plant… The frightened girls rushed out of the hut. Their parents ran after them. But they no longer saw their children: three hitherto unknown trees stood in the yard. One threw up its branches, as if it wanted to become even higher, the other was strewn with pink flowers, and the third froze in sad silence. And people named these trees after their three daughters – poplar, pomegranate and cypress.

PLANTS – ALLERGENS
Cypress
Cypress: an important factor in winter and spring allergies
Cypress (Cupressaceae) is a family of evergreen trees and shrubs. It belongs to gymnosperms. Therefore, its representatives do not form flowers. The family includes up to 30 genera and more than 135 plant species, including cypress, thuja, juniper, yew, cryptomeria and others.
And cypress trees are real centenarians. First, they grew back in the Jurassic period. Secondly, some of them can reach an age of 600 or even 3000 years.
Today, cypresses, in particular cypresses themselves, as well as junipers, are often grown as ornamental plants in parks and gardens. And some of their species, for example Cupressus macrocarpa , is cultivated as an ordinary houseplant.
Cypress needles and branches are used as raw materials for aromatic oils. They are believed to have tonic, antiseptic, antirheumatic and anti-inflammatory properties. In ancient Egypt, cypress oil was used to embalm mummies. And sarcophagi were made from cypress wood, which were preserved for a long time due to the presence of resins.
Hippocrates used cypress for varicose veins, gum problems and hemorrhages. In ancient Chinese medicine, cypress cones were used to improve liver function.
The cypress itself can disinfect the air and improve the condition in case of lung diseases.
Baths infused with cypress help with hemorrhoids, varicose veins, excessive sweating, have a calming effect on the nervous system, normalize blood pressure, strengthen the walls of blood vessels.
Cypress wood is used for making furniture, decorative items, pencil casings, church utensils, etc.
Where cypresses grow
Cypresses love the temperate climate of the northern hemisphere. There are many of them in the countries of the Mediterranean region. However, these trees are found almost everywhere, even in South America, Australia and the Sahara.
But the only cypress, distributed in the southwest of North America – Cupressus arizonica or blue cypress. This evergreen plant is round in shape, with pale green to blue-gray leaves, and can reach 25 meters in height. This tree is often exported to Europe, to the same Mediterranean countries where there are 9 indigenous0451 Cupressus sempervirens, evergreen cypress or Italian cypress tree. Therefore, today in the countries of the Mediterranean and adjacent to them, these two species are most common. Both have a great influence on the allergenic situation in this and other regions, including Ukraine. Here, representatives of the family are cultivated more and more often.
Because, despite the fact that they do not form flowers, cypresses emit a lot of pollen from their male cones. And this pollen is adapted to be carried by the wind.
Therefore, cypress are quite strong allergens, the dusting period of which can take several months. Different types of cypress bloom in turn. And this season usually begins in winter and continues in spring. However, some species produce pollen in autumn.
The most important sources of cypress allergens
The most important species in terms of the allergenic potential of the family are blue cypress and evergreen, prickly juniper (Juniperus oxycedrus), common juniper (Juniperus communis), yews, including berry yew (Taxus baccata), and species of the genus Thuya (Thuya). Most of these species grow in Ukraine. Prickly juniper (J. oxycedrus) produces pollen in October, evergreen cypress in January and February, Arizona cypress in February and March, and common juniper can bloom as early as April.
Remarkably, although green cypress has been common in southern Europe since antiquity, cypress pollen allergy was not reported here until 1945 years old. In France, the first cases of such hay fever were described in 1962. Since then, the trend towards this allergy has been increasing. Among the possible reasons for this phenomenon may be the active use of cypresses as ornamental plants. It has become more and more frequent lately.
In general, the prevalence of cypress pollen allergy in the population ranges from 0.6 to 3%, depending on the degree of pollen exposure. And among patients with allergies, the proportion of sensitized people can be 9-65%, depending on the geographic region.
According to other data, the prevalence of cypress allergy is estimated at 5-13% of the general population and 9-35% among allergic patients. In Ukraine, according to molecular diagnostics, more than 10% of those who are allergic to pollen are sensitive to cypress allergens.
However, the region most affected by cypress pollen is the plant’s historical homeland, the Mediterranean. Here, cypress is the most important species that provokes allergy symptoms. It throws out half the annual amount of pollen from all allergen sources. The role of cypress pollen in the occurrence of seasonal allergies is also high in countries such as the USA and Japan.

Distribution map of tree and plant species
Cypress allergens quite closely cross-react with each other. For example, Italian and Arizona cypresses are often found in the Mediterranean regions, and mountain juniper – in the Balkans and Crimea. But all of them can cause allergies in residents of continental Ukraine.
Extensive cross-reactivity also occurs with other members of the family. These include prickly juniper, Japanese cypress (Chamaecyparis obtusa), Japanese cryptomeria (Cryptomeria japonica) and Western red cedar (Thuja plicata).
The main allergen of the Arizona cypress is Cup 1, which is part of the group of pectate lyases. 57% of patients are sensitive to it. It also contains Cup 2 (polygalacturonase), Cup 3 (thaumatin-like protein) and Cup 4 (calcium-binding protein) allergens.
In Italian cypress, however, scientists have found a heat-resistant protein, most likely a lipid transfer protein, that is less present in Arizona cypress. It is this protein that may be responsible for cross-reactions with fresh fruits and other foods.
Clinical observations also indicate that people with atopy develop sensitivity to cypress pollen in as little as 2-3 years. And after 5-8 years, the first symptoms of allergies may already appear.
According to molecular diagnostics, Ukrainian patients are also sensitive to these allergens. In particular, to proteins of cypress and cryptomeria, which, as a rule, does not grow in Ukraine. This is due to the high cross-reactivity of these proteins with juniper and arborvitae allergens. We grow them more and more.
According to research data, the main symptom of pollen allergy caused by cypress is rhinoconjunctivitis. However, quite often this pollen can also lead to the development of asthma. In general, more than a third of patients with cypress hay fever experience exactly problems with the respiratory system.
In general, the symptoms of cypress hay fever can be as follows:
conjunctivitis;
runny nose;
sneezing;
nasal congestion;
cough,
bronchospasm
and other breathing problems.
In direct contact with the allergen, such as pruning trees, skin symptoms are common: dermatitis and urticaria.
More rarely, cypress hay fever can present with oral allergy syndrome (OSA). French researchers indicate that such an allergy occurs in 4% of patients sensitized to cypress pollen. Most often, such cross-reactions occur after eating fresh peaches. The main symptoms of OSA are:
swelling of the lips,
tongue itching.
Sometimes cypress pollen allergens can also cause anaphylactic shock.
It is noteworthy that if often the influence of plant pollen does not bring great inconvenience to patients, then in the case of cypress the situation is different. There are studies that indicate that in more than 57% of patients with cypress pollinosis, the symptoms are so pronounced that not only the use of antihistamines, but also immunotherapy is necessary to alleviate them.

Cypress essential oil: 8 amazing and beneficial properties
Cypress essential oil is extracted from a coniferous plant that grows in mixed, coniferous-deciduous forests, which has the botanical name Cupressus sempervirens. Cypress is an evergreen plant with small, rounded buds, scale-like needles and small flowers. The oil extracted from the needles is valued for its ability to effectively fight infections, especially of the upper respiratory tract. Also, cypress essential oil helps to remove toxins from the body and positively influence the functioning of the nervous system, eliminating overexcitation and nervousness.
Cupressus sempervirens can be called a pharmacopoeial tree due to its many specific botanical properties. According to a study published in the journal BMC Complementary & Alternative Medicine, these specific properties include resistance to drought, harsh and strong winds, increased dust in the wind, sleet and gas pollution. Cypress also has a widely developed root system, which allows it to grow on both acidic and alkaline soils.
Young shoots, trunks and needles of cypress, participating in the process of steam distillation, generously endow people with an essential oil that has a clean and invigorating aroma. The main constituents of the steam distillation product are alpha-pinene, carene, and limonene. The oil itself is well known for its antiseptic, antibacterial, antirheumatic and stimulating properties.

8 properties and benefits of Cypress essential oil
1. Treatment of wounds and infections.
If you are looking for a quick remedy for wounds, try cypress essential oil. The antiseptic properties of the oil are due to the presence of camphene, an extremely important component. The oil helps in the treatment of both external and internal wounds, while providing protection against infections. A study published in Modern and Alternative Medicine in 2014 shows that cypress essential oil has antimicrobial properties that inhibit the growth of tested bacterial strains. The study also points to the possibility of using cypress oil as a cosmetic ingredient in soap making, due to its ability to kill bacteria on the surface of the skin. It can also be used as a treatment for minor ulcers, pimples, pustules, and skin rashes.
2. Relief of cramps and muscle pain during sprains.
Due to its antispasmodic properties, cypress essential oil is effective in relieving problems caused by spasms, such as cramps and muscle pain. The essential oil is excellent for the symptoms of restless legs syndrome, a neurological condition characterized by unpleasant sensations in the legs: twitches, pulling sensations and uncontrollable microspasms. According to the National Institute of Neurological Diseases and Manifestations (USA), restless leg syndrome can lead to nighttime insomnia and daytime exhaustion. People affected by this disease often cannot achieve the necessary level of concentration during the day to perform daily activities. When applied topically, 100% natural cypress essential oil relieves spasms, improves blood circulation and relieves chronic pain. It is also a natural remedy for relieving the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome by effectively relieving pain in the wrist area. Carpal tunnel syndrome is a neurological condition characterized by pain in the wrist where the median nerve is pinched in its tunnel and becomes inflamed. The small diameter of the nerve is conducive to inflammation and local swelling caused by excessive stress, hormonal changes and arthritis. Essential oil of cypress reduces the stagnation of fluids in the tissues (a common cause of tunnel syndrome). In addition, it helps improve blood flow and help reduce inflammation.
Cypress oil improves blood circulation, contributing to the elimination of cramps, muscle and headaches. Some types of cramps owe their occurrence to endogenous lactic acid, which is effectively flushed out of the body by cypress essential oil due to its diuretic properties, which, in turn, brings relief to the muscles affected by cramps.
3. Helps Detoxify
Because Cypress essential oil is a diuretic and helps the body get rid of accumulated toxins. The oil also increases perspiration, thereby speeding up the removal of toxins, excess salt and moisture. This process has a positive effect on all systems and tissues of the body, especially the skin, helping to avoid (and treat, if it’s too late) acne.
Also, cypress essential oil helps lower cholesterol levels, thereby reducing the load on the liver. A study conducted in 2007 by a team of scientists at the Egyptian National Research Center (in Cairo) showed that isolated components of cypress oil, such as cosmic, caffeic and p-coumaric acids, revealed hepatoprotective properties. These select ingredients significantly lowered body (liver) levels of glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase, glutamate pyruvate transaminase, cholesterol and triglycerides, while having a positive effect on total body protein levels in the laboratory mice that participated in the study. Chemical extracts were introduced into the liver tissues of mice, followed by measurements before and after the application of cypress essential oil. Measurements have shown that the oil contains antioxidant components, ridding the body of excess toxins and helping to bind free radicals.
4. Improves blood clotting
Essential oil of cypress has the ability to stop excess blood flow, thereby contributing to an increase in blood clotting. This ability of the oil is due to its astringent and hemostatic properties. The oil causes narrowing of the blood channels, which increases pressure and leads to a reduction in the skin, muscle tissue, gum tissue and hair follicles. These astringent properties allow cypress essential oil to “tighten” your tissues, strengthening hair follicles, thereby preventing hair loss.
As mentioned above, the hemostatic properties of cypress essential oil help stop bleeding and increase blood clotting as soon as it is needed. These two powerful properties work hand in hand to help us quickly heal minor abrasions, cuts, and even open wounds. Due to these properties, cypress oil is an indispensable remedy for heavy menstrual bleeding, in the treatment of fibroids and endometrioid heterotopia.
5. Respiratory Care
Cypress essential oil has phlegm-thinning and expectorant properties that help clear the upper respiratory tract and lungs. The oil has a calming effect on the respiratory system and works as an anti-spasmodic agent – even helping with acute respiratory conditions such as asthma and bronchitis. Also, the oil has antibacterial properties, which allows it to act as an auxiliary remedy for diseases caused by the growth of a certain strain of bacteria (or a set of strains).
A study published in 2004 in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry showed that camphene, a component present in cypress essential oil, had an inhibitory effect on the growth of 9 bacterial strains studied and on the growth of all known yeast cultures. Thus, we can argue that for certain purposes, cypress oil is a safer alternative to antibiotics, which have significant side effects, for example, the so-called. “weak stomach” syndrome (“irritable bowel”) and loss of probiotics.
6. Natural deodorant
Cypress essential oil has a clean, spicy-masculine aroma that is uplifting, energizing and happy, making it an excellent deodorant. Such a deodorant can easily replace the usual chemical one, thanks to its antibacterial properties – we prevent the growth of bacteria – it prevents the smell of sweat, it’s simple! What’s more, you can safely add 10 drops of cypress essential oil to your floor cleaner or laundry detergent (single dose, per wash!) to give surfaces and laundry a fresh, leafy scent while killing bacteria. This can be especially useful in the winter season, because. the aroma of cypress oil awakens feelings of pleasure and happiness.
7. Elimination of overexcitation
Cypress essential oil has sedative properties, resulting in a feeling of content calmness and happy relaxation, whether you use it aromatherapy or massage. Despite this, the aroma of the oil also has an invigorating effect (to a slightly lesser extent), stimulating our centers of relief and happiness. All this can be separately useful for people who are subject to severe emotional stress, who have problems falling asleep, or who suffer from post-traumatic and post-shock syndrome. To use cypress essential oil as a natural remedy for overstimulation or nervous conditions, add 5 drops to an aroma diffuser or dissolve them in a tablespoon of fatty oil and add to your bath water. It will be useful to put an aroma diffuser at the head of the bed at night to eliminate restless conditions or symptoms of insomnia.
8. Fights cellulite and varicose veins
Due to its ability to stimulate blood flow, cypress essential oil can be used as a natural remedy for the treatment of varicose veins. Varicose veins, otherwise known as spider veins, occur when there is excessive pressure in the veins, which leads to bruising and swelling of the veins. According to the National Library of Medicine (USA), this can be caused by either weak venous vessel walls or insufficient external tissue clamping pressure on the vein, which increases venous pressure, leading to vein dilation and stretching. The external application of cypress oil helps to eliminate the congestion of blood in the legs and facilitate its proper return to the heart.
The oil also helps reduce the risk of cellulite, the so-called. “orange peel” on the skin of the legs, buttocks, abdomen and back of the arms. The cause of cellulite is often cited as fluid retention in the body, poor blood circulation, weak structural organization of endogenous collagen, and being overweight. Due to its diuretic properties, cypress oil effectively removes excess moisture and salt from the body, which are the cause of fluid stagnation in the body. Also, as mentioned above, it stimulates the metabolism, accelerating the blood flow. Use the oil topically to treat varicose veins, cellulite, and any other symptoms caused by poor metabolism.
HOW TO USE CYPRESS ESSENTIAL OIL
Cypress oil is safe for both aromatherapy and external use. For external use, the best option is to dissolve a few drops of oil in the base (coconut or jojoba) in a ratio of 1 to 15-20, before rubbing into the skin. Here are some examples of home uses for cypress essential oil:
• Diffuse 5-7 drops of cypress essential oil at home or in the office for an emotionally balanced scent pattern that evokes feelings of both calm and uplifting to help combat feelings of anxiety and overexcitation.
• Apply the oil topically, diluted in a carrier oil, to relieve the symptoms of arthritis, restless leg syndrome, cramps, asthma, bronchitis, cold-related coughs, carpal tunnel syndrome, and heavy periods. Just rub the mixture on the affected area, a couple of times a day, depending on your needs, until relief comes.
• To reduce the risk of cellulite, varicose veins, wounds, cuts, and abrasions, apply 2-3 drops of cypress essential oil to areas requiring care.
• Add 5 drops of oil diluted in a vehicle (honey or milk) to hot bath water to relieve symptoms of upper lung disease. You can dilute a few drops (as mentioned above) in a carrier base, and use the resulting solution as a warming compress for the chest area. To reduce the level of phlegm, put 3-5 drops into boiling water, cover your head with a towel and inhale the steam for 5-10 minutes.
• To deodorize your home, add 5-10 drops of cypress essential oil to your cleaning agent or add the oil to water and spray onto curtains, tablecloths, and upholstered furniture. Also, 1-2 drops can be dripped into shoes, a hat, a jacket – to prevent the growth of bacteria and, therefore, the smell of sweat.
• For hair and skin care, add 1-3 drops of cypress essential oil to your shampoo, conditioner or facial wash. This oil is excellent for deep cleansing, and provides additional benefits to hair and skin due to its antimicrobial properties.
Cypress essential oil mixes well with oils of lavender, bergamot, cedar, chamomile, ylang-ylang. All of them have a sedative effect and help bring about a state of calm and balance, whether you use them in aromatherapy or externally. Mix your favorite essential oils with cypress oil, add 5-6 drops to your bath (previously dilute the mixture in milk or honey) or use as an additive to your massage product. Coconut oil works well as a base, because. it takes care of your skin during the massage, working as a tonic and moisturizer.
PRECAUTIONS FOR USING CYPRESS ESSENTIAL OIL
Cypress essential oil should not be used internally. Only when used aromatherapeutically or externally can it be considered safe and non-toxic. The oil should not be used during pregnancy, and the use of this oil in childhood should be avoided. The effect of cypress essential oil on children is not well understood. Be sure to conduct an allergy test before use – apply 1 drop on the wrist, rub. If within 15 minutes there are no obvious signs of a reaction (irritation, rash, severe burning) – the oil is safe for you. The safest external application is to dissolve a single dose of cypress essential oil in a carrier fatty oil base.

Child care costs are rising, leaving parents with fewer options, and it’s costing Texas taxpayers billions of dollars
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — The COVID-19 pandemic has created more issues with the child care system, and it’s costing Texans billions of dollars.
CHILD CARE COST IS FORCING SOME TEXANS OUT OF THE WORKFORCE
Aliya Faiola, a mother of two, is one of the thousands of parents in the Houston area juggling work and child care costs.
“I’m that person that loves to work, and I enjoyed being at work, and my coworkers,” Faiola explained.
It’s a passion Faiola no longer experiences after she quit her job last summer after the birth of her son.
It’s a decision Faiola said she didn’t want to make, but with the price of child care, she said there was no other choice.
“Weekly, it would be $360 for a child,” Faiola explained. “For two kids, it’s $720 for a week! Working and trying to find child care for two kids, especially here right now, it was pretty hard. ” Faiola said.

PARENTS ARE CHANGING CHILD CARE, FACING RISING COSTS, AND LEAVING CHILD CARE FACILITIES ALL TOGETHER DURING THE PANDEMIC
A new U.S. Chamber of Commerce study shows how many parents in Texas are making the same tough decision as Faiola and leaving the workforce. It discovered more than half of participants changed child care arrangements during the pandemic.
When citing why they left their jobs, 30% of high-income parents blamed child care. For lower income families, that number nearly doubled.
The average price of child care is more than $600 a month. But with the growing number of parents opting out of child care, they aren’t working, they aren’t making money to shop, buy a home, or other items.
This results in the state losing $1.8 billion in tax revenue, and that has an impact on all of us.
“Which means there’s a potential decrease in other public services, whether it’s roads, transportation, etcetera,” said Peter Beard, the regional workforce development vice president for Greater Houston Partnership.

MORE CHILD CARE CENTERS ARE CLOSING, LEAVING PARENTS WITH WAITLISTS OR NO NEARBY OPTIONS AT ALL
Cost isn’t the only issue. Children at Risk discovered during the summer of 2020, the number of child care deserts increased across the state by 50%.
This means there are still more communities where the demand is higher than the amount of providers.
“We’re seeing several waitlists go up because of the limited amount of seats that are available and a lot of that has to do with the workforce,” said Mandi Kimball, the vice president of Children at Risk.
One of those places is at Kids ‘R’ Kids in Rosenberg, that was hit hard by the pandemic.
“Our enrollment was around 120 to 130 at that time, and in March, it went to 12,” said the owner of Kids ‘R’ Kids Rosenberg, Arun Singh.
CHILD CARE CENTERS STRUGGLING TO FIND WORKERS DURING THE PANDEMIC
Parents who can afford daycare have sent their kids back, but another key component isn’t. Businesses struggle to find workers.
“They want to go to work,” Singh explained. “They want to bring the kids back to us and we cannot take them.”
Singh said in order to get new employees he’s had to raise salaries, but it’s not easy.
Between pay increases and supply prices, including milk and paper, going up, it may impact tuition.
“Bottom line, we do not want to raise the prices,” Singh said.
TEXAS RECEIVED BILLIONS IN COVID-19 RELIEF BILLS TO COMBAT CHILD CARE CONCERNS
Texas received nearly $6 billion from federal COVID bills to address this perfect storm. The state started new scholarships, including one that provides hospitality workers with free child care for a year.
But the answer isn’t only with tax dollars. Experts said more businesses need to work with governments to create public-private partnerships.
“Employers are beginning to confront that there’s a return on investment to this, which is the cost of losing a qualified skilled worker, cost money to replace them and get them to 100% productivity,” Beard explained.
The state will also launch its first-ever child care apprenticeship program in the Dallas area.
Participants can earn while they learn and get jobs in the child care industry. Businesses are offering a child care benefit that’s very much enticing to Faiola.
“Most of the time they don’t hire me because when you have kids, especially under two, and no daycare,” Faiola said.
It’s a problem experts said needs to be addressed because its holding parents back and the state is losing billions.

Tuition Rates at Haslet Elite Learning Center!
It is our philosophy that clients are paying for the spot their child will take in our center. This is not based upon attendance but rather on a set weekly or
monthly fee that is due regardless of the attendance habits of the child who has the spot. Our fee structure is based upon a weekly fee that is set by the
contract which is signed by the parent’s upon enrolling the child(ren) in the program. These contracts may be adjusted from time to time as needed with a
two weeks notice of intent to change services. This to be allowed at the discretion of the management based on space availability. Contracts are re-done
annually prior to the first of June. Since the weekly set fees remain the same, no bill will be given to remind you of these fees. A monthly statement of
activity will be sent out usually prior to the 15th of each month. Add on fees may occur such as in the case of School aged children who are in need of
additional services due to an irregularity in the school schedule such as an early dismissal, schools out day or school break. In the case of summer break,
a new contract will be entered into by the parent’s specifying the charges for this period.
Haslet Elite Learning Center believes it would be better for us to meet and for your decision for childcare to be based on more than advertised weekly
tuition rates.
We encourage you to contact us and schedule a time so that you can see our center and have the opportunity to evaluate our program based on a more complete
picture of the services we have to offer.

REGISTRATION AND MATERIALS FEES
There is a registration fee and materials fee that are due prior to the child’s first day at HASLET ELITE LEARNING CENTER. These fees are due upon initial
enrollment annually each June. These fees shall suffice for that “School Year’s” materials fee provided the child remains continuously enrolled in the
program. Children who pull out of the program for a specified or un-specified length of time will be required to pay a re-registration fee as well as an
additional materials fee upon returning. The exception to this will be children who physically pull out of the program but whose parent’s continue to
pay their full weekly fees in order to retain the spot in our program. Children who attend in a “Drop In” fashion who pay the “Drop In” rate will be
considered as continuously enrolled for that school year and will only be required to pay one registration and one material fee provided they continue to
fit the definition of this program.
PAYMENT POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
Weekly fees are due in advance on Monday. There will be a $50.00 late payment convenience fee added if the account is not paid by the
close of business on Tuesday. An additional $5 maintenance and collection fee will be added each day the account is not paid in
full. Failure to pay on time may result in termination of services. No account will ever be allowed to carry a balance unless arrangements have
been approved by the Director. There will be a $50.00 fee added on all returned checks. After two NSF checks are received by the center,
payment will be required by cashiers check or money order. Fees for two weeks will be added if a two week written notice is not given prior to your
child leaving the center. Clients may pay by check, cashiers check, credit card or Money Order. All payments will be
payable to: HASLET ELITE LEARNING CENTER.
Payments may be given directly to Office or may be placed in the payment box located outside the office. No Cash payments will be accepted.
All tuition is non-refundable except for prepaid tuition that is over-and-above any additional charges, including the two weeks notice.
All clients will pay the last weeks fees in advance. This will also be adjusted annually or as the contracted rates change.
See the REFUNDS policy below. Registration fees are non-refundable. HASLET ELITE LEARNING CENTER may seek collection of fees due and clients
may be required to pay a two week termination fee, and any collection costs and attorney’s fees incurred by HASLET ELITE LEARNING CENTER to
collect this amount. If HELC elects, it may immediately terminate all services provided by it including but not limited to the
immediate dismissal of the children from it’s facility.

WatchMeGrow reports are so very useful for us. If there is a parent who is watching more video, several months after they first enrolled, there may be a reason for this. We ask our teachers to reflect on why that is and examine whether they still have a solid and trusting relationship with the family. We empower our teachers to do whatever is needed to reaffirm this trust. Our mission statement says that we are an extension of our customers’ families. And the camera system helps us deliver on that promise.

This has been one of our biggest selling points! I came from a school where they did not have live streaming and parents consistently asked for it upon touring or after enrollment. This is such a great service especially for those first-time parents that need to have that extra ounce of security and reassurance while their little one is away at school.
Kayla Dempsey,

WatchMeGrow took a big issue off our plates. Local COVID protocols forbid parents in the building, ending 35 years of open-to-parents instruction. With WatchMeGrow, parents can still see what’s going on and also see when their child achieves a skill – we send them the video of it.

How to set fixed rates for living with children
Families are a large segment of our platform users. On average, they stay longer and are more likely to make bookings compared to solo travelers and couples. However, families have special needs. Families often carefully compare properties before making a booking.
There are three components that determine how a property or room is displayed to families and whether they see a child-friendly rate on Booking.com: policies, room occupancy, and prices. If a property has rates for staying with children, families will be able to see all the necessary information on its page, including prices for individual rooms (room units).

Removal of all fixed rates for living with children
Extra beds and baby cots
You can specify whether children are allowed to stay at your property and, if so, whether they must be over a certain age. To do this:
1. Log in to the Extranet.
2. Open tab “Property” and select “Policy” .
3. In section Children and Extra Beds click Edit under Child Policy and Capacity .
4. Depending on whether you allow children under 18 or not, select Yes or No .
5. You can also enter a minimum age for children.
6. Press “Save” .
If you have allowed children to stay at your property, you can choose between two types of rates for staying with children: fixed and flexible.
Flat rates for children are suitable for you if:
you need to set one set of tariffs for the entire facility;
you want your children to stay for free or for a fixed fee.
Flexible rates for staying with children are suitable for you if:
you need to set several tariff sets depending on the room and tariff plan;
you want your children to stay for free, for a flat fee, or for a percentage of another rate;
need to set different prices for several children of each age group.
This article will help you set flat rates for staying with children. If you prefer flexible rates for children, please read the other article.
You can create up to three different rates for staying with children depending on their age. Please note that these rates will only apply to children using existing beds and not extra beds or baby cots. You can also specify the age of children who can stay at your property for free.
These rates will only apply to rooms for which you have specified the number of children in the capacity settings. If you have not already done so, you will need to change the capacity to accommodate children. In addition, in a separate section of the Extranet, you can add the possibility of placing extra beds and cots.
To set up rates for staying with children:
Sign in to the Extranet.
Open tab Property and select “Residence Policy” .
In section Children and Extra Beds click Edit under Child Policy and Capacity .
In section Child Rates select Flat Rates and press Set .
Enter the minimum and maximum ages of the children your rates apply to and the price.
If you want to create another tariff, press “Add another tariff” .
Click Save.
Once you have created your rates, on page Child Policies and Capacity you will see a reminder to adjust the capacity for children and check the child rate allocation.
You can set the maximum number of children and adults for each room, as well as the total maximum occupancy of the room.
Imagine that your double room can accommodate two adults and two children (no more). At the same time, in the room settings, its maximum capacity is only two guests. This means that the room can be booked for two adults or one adult with a child, but not for two adults with two children.
The capacity you provide is for guests using existing beds. Do not include the number of guests that can be accommodated in extra beds and baby cots.
To set the room capacity:
Sign in to the Extranet.
Open tab Property and select Policies .
In section Children and Extra Beds click Edit under Child Policy and Capacity .
Section Capacity and Rate Allocation for Children indicate if any children will be charged as adults.
Select the name of the room (number unit) for which you want to change the number of guests.
Select the maximum number of guests, the maximum number of adults, and the maximum number of children that can be accommodated in this room (unit), and the maximum number of children that will be charged at the Child Stay Rate.
Repeat for each desired number.
Press “Save” .
In section “Preview your rules” at the bottom of the page you will see a preview of your settings. The exact wording of the rules may appear differently to potential guests.
You can manually delete each flat rate for staying with children that you have previously set. Here’s how to do it.
Sign in to the Extranet.
Open tab Property and select “Residence Policy” .
In section Children and Extra Beds click Edit under Child Policy and Capacity .
In section Child Rates select Flat Rates .
Delete each tariff manually by pressing “Delete this tariff” .
Press “Save” to confirm the changes.
All children are now charged as adults.
Extra beds and baby cots are mobile sleeping places. Please note that the number and cost of extra beds and baby cots is not displayed during the booking process and is not included in the price.
To add extra beds and cots:
Sign in to the Extranet.
Open tab “Property” and select “Policy” .
In section Children and Extra Beds click Edit under Extra Beds and Cribs .
In section “Children’s and extra beds allowed” , enter the maximum number of cots and extra beds that you can provide in each room (unit).
In sections “Baby Cots” and “Extra Beds” you can specify the cost of providing beds for categories of guests of different ages.
Press “Save” .

Traveling with children
Traveling for a child is always a welcome adventure. We know how to make your flight as comfortable as possible!
You can add a child when booking tickets on the pobeda.aero website or in the mobile application. You can add a child under 12 years old to an existing booking through the Call Center, if more than 4 hours before departure, an additional service fee of 500 ₽ is charged.
Infant under 2 years old: Travels free of charge (or €20 for international flights) if not seated in a separate seat and sitting on an adult’s lap. But it is important to remember that one adult can only accompany one infant up to 2 years old.
Please note that the child must be under 2 years of age and on the date of the return flight (for all segments of the booking). If a child turns 2 years old while traveling, a separate ticket must be issued only for those segments that are performed after the child reaches the age of 2 years.
If you want your baby to travel in a separate seat, select the “Infant with Seat” customer category in the first booking step – the seat next to you will be allocated specifically for your baby and you will be able to take additional hand luggage.
Children aged 2 to 12: Travel under standard rules.
Parents whose children aged 5 to 12 are traveling alone can use the paid Unaccompanied Minor service. Issued through the Call Center or at the check-in desk at the airport.
You can only add a child or children between 2 and 12 years old to an existing booking if there is already a client over 18 years old in this booking who will be the accompanying person.
Children aged 12 to 17: May fly alone when booked as an adult.
Documents for domestic flights:
Child’s birth certificate or passport
Documents for international flights:
Child’s international passport
Visa (if required)
Notarized consent to leave from one of the parents or guardians if the child is flying with other adults
All documents must be submitted in original.
Make your flight more comfortable: during the booking process, online check-in or Manage your booking, select standard seats, seats with extra legroom – XL seats or the most comfortable seats in the cabin with maximum legroom – XXL seats. When choosing seats at the time of booking, you automatically get the opportunity to go through online check-in 24 hours before departure!
For traveling with a child, we recommend places of increased comfort with increased legroom – 2DEF seats.
More about the service
Parents whose children aged 5 to 12 are traveling alone can use the paid Unaccompanied Minor service. An airline representative will help your child go through the pre-flight formalities, escort them to the boarding gate, and during the flight the crew will pay special attention. A flight attendant specially assigned to the child will help him in everything. We will meet your child, help with baggage collection and personally transfer it to the meeting people.
More about the service
Baggage and hand luggage
Infants under 2 years old: Carry-on and checked baggage allowances are not cumulative and do not apply to children under 2 years old.
By choosing the “Infant with Seat” customer category at the first step of booking, you get a free seat next to the baby and the opportunity to carry additional hand luggage.
Children over 2 years of age: Children over 2 years of age travel under normal travel rules and can carry carry-on and luggage.
Baby strollers and cradles are transported free of charge in checked baggage. You can check them in as baggage at check-in or when boarding the plane. Registration of prams and cots at the reception is obligatory. Upon arrival, baby strollers and cradles are received only in the baggage claim area or in the oversized baggage claim area. Sledges, wheelchairs and car seats are transported only in luggage for an additional fee.
A soft carrycot (if it can be folded) and a Kangaroo carrier are allowed in the aircraft cabin. The airline does not provide cradles for babies.
You can carry baby food in a container of no more than 100 ml in hand baggage, it must be packed in one securely closed transparent plastic bag. The total transported volume of liquids must not exceed 1 litre.
Recommendations
A diaper, a warm blanket, spare clothes, a set of toys, and a bottle or thermo mug. You can ask the flight attendant for boiling water to warm up baby food.
For a child under 2 years of age, when flying without the Extra Seat service, the Carry-On Baggage and Baggage allowances do not apply.
By purchasing the “Priority Boarding” service, you:
will be the first to pass without a queue for boarding
in the bus that delivers customers to the aircraft, you will be in a separate fenced area in front of the cabin
be the first to get off the bus and board the aircraft
More about the service
For a comfortable flight for the baby and the parent, we recommend that when choosing clients, at the first booking step, choose “Infant with a seat” – book an adjacent seat in the cabin and place a baby up to 2 years old on it. It also gives you the option to carry extra hand luggage.
During take-off and landing, as well as when the “fasten your seatbelts” light panel is turned on, a child under 2 years of age must be in the arms of the client accompanying him.

Latest changes
Due to the fact that there is a special children’s tariff RZD , the cost of traveling with children will not be so large.
Children’s train fare in Russia

under five years of age;
age from 5 years to 10 years;
from 10 years old to the age of majority (18 years old).
Until what age do children enjoy the right to free travel on Russian Railways , as well as what discounts and benefits are provided to them – the answer directly depends on age.
When calculating the age, the main thing is not to get confused. For example, if by the day of departure the child is already 5 years old, then it is necessary to purchase a travel card for the category “from 5 to 10 years” similarly with the next category. However, if 5 or 10 years old is reached directly on the trip, then a travel card is purchased for the category up to 5 years and up to 10 years, respectively.
Fare for children under 5 years old
When parents take a child on a road trip, they need to consider under what conditions his trip will take place – with great convenience or at the lowest cost.
Based on this, the choice can be as follows:
There will be one common place with one of the adults
This option will be more economical, because Russian Railways provides a benefit for a free travel pass under such conditions. It will be enough for the parent to pay in full their ticket for the electric train.
However, this does not mean that a travel card will not be required.
The latter will need to be issued:
when buying adult tickets at the railway station ticket office or when booking online;
before or after purchase of adult passes;
directly upon boarding at the head of the train, but you should take into account possible cash costs.
Availability of a separate seat
If an adult considers a separate seat the best option for their child, then you can buy a child ticket at a discount. The latter is 35-50% of the total cost of an adult travel document.
Only one child under the age of 5 can travel free of charge with an adult. If there are more children, then a ticket is paid for another with a 35-50% discount (if he is provided with a separate seat). If there are several adults, then one more child can be registered with him.
Tariffs for tickets for children aged 5-10
Older children, of course, need a separate seat. It is paid according to the same scheme according to the children’s fare: 35–50% of the full price for an adult ticket.
The cost varies within the specified range according to the selected type of carriage (reserved seat, compartment), as well as the brand of the train. Free travel for children under 10 years old on the train is for those traveling to the place of stay in a luxury carriage.
Coupe is equipped with only two berths.
To purchase a discount ticket, you need a certificate – a birth certificate or a notarized copy. You can buy tickets online.
A child under the age of 10 is not allowed to travel without an adult. The exception is a trip to an educational institution.
Russian Railways ticket price for children over 10 years old
Minor students, unfortunately, pay the full price of the ticket for railway transport.
There are small discounts for schoolchildren.
A special 50% discount for school students (over 10 years old) is provided from September 1, 2019 to May 31, 2022.
This applies only to travel in couchette, seated and shared carriages. Traveling on high-speed trains of the Lastochka type, as well as in compartment cars and the SV category, will cost the full price.
When boarding the train, you will need to present a school certificate, but you will not need it when buying a child pass.
If the student is already 14 years old, then a passport will be required instead of a certificate. But a certificate from the school (with the stamp and signature of an authorized person) will need to be presented both when boarding and when buying such a ticket at the box office.
Children of this age group may proceed to the place of arrival unaccompanied. If a minor moves within Russia with an adult, then a power of attorney from the parents is not required.
Documents for a minor to travel abroad
If a minor goes on a trip with one of the parents, then the consent of the other is not necessary.
To leave Russia for another country by train, you will need a child’s international passport. If the child is included in the parent’s passport, then a document for the child is not needed.
If the passport was issued before March 1, 2010, then a photograph of the child must be pasted into it.
If the minor is traveling unaccompanied, the consent of either parent is required (provided that the other parent does not object). If parents are absent, then consent is given by guardians or other responsible persons. The document must be notarized.
If a child is taken to another country by an adult (not a parent), he also needs a power of attorney from the parents, certified by a notary. In the case of traveling with relatives, a document is required that can confirm the fact of kinship.
At any time, the established rules for the carriage of children, including child fares, benefits and discounts, may change. Therefore, when planning a trip with minors, you need to contact the railway ticket office for more up-to-date information.

Discipline
Positive Discipline
AtPre-K Kids Learning Center, we recognize that positive discipline teaches and encourages the healthy development of a child’s self-esteem. Our caregivers praise and call attention to appropriate behavior and act as good role models to influence and reinforce a child positively. Limits are set that are developmentally appropriate and consistently enforced. The method of discipline used by Pre-K Kids staff for our children is “redirection.” For example, time out or refraining from a special activity may be used for a short period while the caregiver is encouraging the child to make a positive decision.

16 Things Kids Learn in Preschool
Share
Email
Ever wondered what your kids are really learning at preschool when it seems like they’re just playing all day? The good news is that if it seems like they’re “just playing” then the school is doing something right!
Children learn everything through play and the early years are the most important in their overall development.
I spent several years teaching and would like to share, in a nutshell, what every child should learn in preschool and how preschool contributes to a child’s education.
Learning during the first 6 years is about building skills through play.
This does not only apply to babies and toddlers. Preschoolers learn best through play, when using their whole body and engaging the senses.
What do Kids Learn in Preschool?
You may be wondering what a preschool curriculum should include or what subjects are focused on. This is not really that important. There is no curriculum-in-a-box, but rather a set of abilities and skills a preschooler should develop.
Some preschools choose to use set themes around which to plan play activities; others let themes develop naturally (learning about caterpillars when a child finds one in the garden).
A good quality preschool will give your children a well-rounded education through a balance of free play and well-planned, adult-guided play.
What should a child know by the end of preschool?
This is a breakdown of what is taught in preschool. If you’d like to work on some of these skills at home, I’ve sprinkled lots of play ideas throughout. Don’t underestimate how much your children learn from you.
Parents are a child’s primary educators!
1. Gross Motor Skills
Physical development starts with developing gross motor skills – the large muscles of the body.
At preschool, your children will be moving nonstop. Movement is the most important skill to develop first in the early years as it is necessary for all other learning.
Children must develop skills such as strength, hand-eye coordination and agility.
They also need to develop two important senses – vestibular and proprioception – responsible for balance and body awareness.
Movement is important as it stimulates learning, improves concentration, gives the brain oxygen and works both sides of the brain. Good gross motor skills also lay the foundation for fine motor skills.
Some examples of gross motor activities:
Throwing and catching balls
Playing hopscotch
Singing action songs
Playing with bean bags
Balancing on beams
Climbing and hanging
Skipping and hopping
Running and chasing games
2. Fine Motor Skills
Fine motor coordination – the development of the small muscles – is a prerequisite to learning how to write and is necessary for performing everyday tasks.
In preschool, children spend a large portion of their day working on these skills.
Fine motor skills are developed by all kinds of art activities, such as:
Drawing
Painting
Cutting
Pasting
Box construction with waste materials
They can also be developed with other fine motor activities such as:
Pegboards
Puzzles
Threading and lacing
Playing with pegs
Playing with construction toys (Lego is great)
Moulding playdough
Developing a pencil grip and learning to form letters starts with all these kinds of fine motor activities.
3. Early Mathematical Concepts
Preschool is where the foundations for mathematics begin. No child ever learns maths in the first grade. The type of maths they learn just becomes more formal.
These concepts are learned while having pure fun – in the sandpit, while baking, playing with water, building with blocks and even while tidying up!
4. Problem Solving
Problem solving is an important life skill and one that must be developed early on. Learning this in preschool also helps children with mathematical problem solving during the formal grades.
Problem-solving skills are built during simple activities such as:
Construction play
Building puzzles
Playing board games
Resolving problems during social play
5. Language and Vocabulary
Preschool is a language-rich environment where children’s vocabulary expands dramatically.
They learn sentence construction, the use of grammar and tenses, the meaning of words, etc.
Language and vocabulary are learnt throughout the day while:
Having circle time discussions
Singing rhymes and songs
Playing games
Playing alone and with friends
Learning about a theme
Playing with toys, equipment and other materials
Listening to stories
6. Pre-Writing Skills
Writing starts with developing important pre-writing skills through play and art activities. These four skills are specific requirements for learning to write and will be the focus during preschool:
Pencil grip
Crossing the midline
Learning about letters and their formation (though play, not formal writing)
Learning to form patterns (for example drawing big waves or zig-zags which mimic the shapes found in letters)
7. Listening Skills
Listening is one of the most important and often under-developed skills. This should be a focus area during preschool.
Children learn to listen by doing these kinds of activities:
Listening to stories
Playing games such as Broken Telephone or I Spy
Following instructions
Class discussions
Music activities
Although your children are learning to listen at school, it is highly recommended to focus on these skills at home too. Children with good listening skills are much more successful and capable at school. Here are some listening games you can play at home.
8. Musical Skills
Music in preschool is about so much more than just developing musical skills. Music develops children’s:
Vocabulary
Understanding of rhyme, syllables and sounds
Auditory perception
Concentration
Fine motor skills (finger plays)
Gross motor skills (action rhymes)
Mathematical skills (counting rhymes)
decision-making skills (games such as musical chairs)
9. Visual Perceptual Skills
Visual and auditory perception are the two main building blocks of learning to read.
Children develop their visual perception during preschool with the following types of activities:
Activities that teach about shapes and colours
Patterning activities
Puzzles and tangrams
Card games
Memory games
10. Auditory Perceptual Skills
Auditory perception is the brain’s ability to make sense of what the ears hear. It is vital for being able to learn sounds for reading. These kinds of activities develop auditory perception:
Reciting rhymes and poems
Playing with instruments
Playing sound games
Playing word games
11. Pre-Reading Skills
During preschool children develop all the necessary pre-reading skills to set them up for learning to read formally.
Learning to read requires developing sound knowledge (auditory perception) and symbol knowledge (visual perception), as explained above.
These are the five main pre-reading skills:
Print awareness – understanding that written words convey meaning
Motivation to read – exposure to books that ignites a desire to read
Listening comprehension – the ability to understand what is heard
Letter knowledge – informal exposure to letters and their sounds during play
Phonological awareness – being able to hear sounds in words (beginning, middle and end sounds)
Children are exposed to these kinds of activities:
Playing rhyming games
Playing word games
Games involving hearing syllables
Playing listening games
Following instructions (single and multiple instructions)
12. Memory
At school, children also strengthen their memory, a skill they will rely on for learning throughout their education.
These are the kinds of games that are often played in preschool classes:
Memory card games (get your own cards by downloading the FREE set of printables at the end of the post).
Circle memory games
I went to the shops and I bought a… – each child has a turn to add an item, but must first recall the entire list before adding their item
Categories – pick a category (e.g. fruits) and go around the circle asking each child to add the name of one fruit. No fruits may be said twice so children must remember which ones were already mentioned
13. Early Science Concepts
As children explore and interact with their environment and nature, they also learn about early science concepts.
A great example is learning about physics by discovering the properties of water during water play:
Water makes sand heavier
Water influences the texture of sand
Water falls through space (e.g. through a sieve)
Air (wind) moves water
Water is a liquid because it pours
Water takes the shape of the container it is poured into
14. Social Skills
Where better to learn social skills than in preschool? Children are surrounded by friends and adults and they learn to interact appropriately with others.
Throughout the day children learn about:
Taking turns
Sharing
Considering the opinions of others
Showing empathy
Cooperating and negotiating
Resolving conflicts
Leading and following
Creating and following rules in games to encourage positive interaction
15. Creative Expression
Preschool is where a child’s creative spark can really be ignited. There are many opportunities throughout the school day where children develop their creative expression:
During art activities – painting, constructing, drawing
Musical activities – dancing, singing and playing with instruments
Playing with construction toys
Drama and puppet play
Telling stories
Fantasy/ dress-up play
Outdoor play (e. g. building forts)
16. Independence
Last but perhaps most importantly, the greatest takeaway for young children at preschool is their growing independence.
Children learn to take care of themselves and show a sense of responsibility and a desire to be competent.
There are endless opportunities for this:
Regular tidy-up times
Taking accountability for actions
Looking after belongings (shoes, bags, books, etc.)
Self-care (going to the bathroom, washing hands, etc.)
Making choices throughout the day (during free play or activities with choice)
And there you have it! That is certainly not a complete list as your kids are learning so much but that is more or less a summary of what skills a preschooler should have.
Here is a detailed school readiness checklist if you’d like to delve into each developmental area more.
Be wary of preschools that focus on academic skills. This is developmentally inappropriate and, as you can see from the list above, play is important during the early years.

Preschool – Catalyst Kids
Learning Environment
We incorporate the HighScope and Reggio Emilia approaches and are guided by the California Desired Results assessment process, Learning Foundations, and Curriculum Frameworks. These approaches share some key beliefs: children are inherently competent; they learn best through meaningful experiences in a rich environment with peers and knowledgeable adults as guides and collaborators.
Our environment is a unique reflection of the children, families, staff, and school community who are part of our program. Our classrooms abound in materials that invite children to actively explore and that reflect their diverse interests and learning profiles. The areas of the room represent the learning domains that connect to later school content: language and literacy, math, science, visual and performing arts, and social science. We have environments that are safe, child accessible, and appealing to all senses.
Daily Routines
Our consistent daily routine helps children feel safe and secure. Children quickly internalize the predictable order of the day. At Catalyst Kids they will have opportunities to self-select activities, as well as interact one-on-one with a teacher and participate in teacher guided experiences in groups.
The elements of the children’s day in our programs include:
Small Group Time
Children work daily as a member of a group of 6-8, with a teacher who has tracked their development, interests, and strengths. Hands-on activities are planned and led by the teacher using research-based school readiness curriculum resources that bridge to kindergarten standards.
Large Group / Circle Time
Being a part of a larger community is something that takes a bit of practice for young children. Our large group/circle times include get-to-know-you activities, movement, music, cooperative group games, and physical fitness activities. Through circle time children build their ability to listen, express emotions, and take turns.
Plan-Do-Review
We support children’s ability to make plans, carry them out, and reflect on them; a life skill that encourages critical thinking, initiative, and self-reliance within the framework of the school community. Our teachers ask children to choose something they would like to do and then engage with the children as they follow through with their ideas. They ask children questions and think with them about what is happening to help them to extend and expand their understanding and skill development. Review follows with a small group discussion of how the plans went, what they discovered, and possible next steps.
Outdoor Play
Making a connection to natural surroundings and engaging in physical activity with playful and attentive teachers happens daily in our programs. Children are explorers in this environment, as well as movers, climbers, and riders.
Curriculum
In our programs we surround children with learning opportunities. We develop and grow basic academic skills through child and teacher guided activities and interactions. Our literacy and math curricula are research based, developmentally sequenced, and based on skills that lead to success in school and beyond.
The Pathways to Literacy Curriculum for children 3-6 years of age is a comprehensive set of detailed plans for teacher-led small-group activities. The activities are focused, engaging, and enjoyable.
Although literacy occurs throughout the day as children talk, play, problem solve, and represent their ideas and experiences, Pathways to Literacy focuses on small-group instruction to ensure that every child receives planned and equal exposure to teaching and learning on the same literacy topics. Teachers continue to infuse literacy concepts throughout the day, both individually and in other group settings.
Transition to Kindergarten
Moving from preschool to TK/kindergarten is one of the biggest milestones for children and families. Because our programs establish partnerships with elementary school teachers, we plan events, visits, and information exchanges to make the transition as comfortable as possible. Our teachers work closely with families to identify each child’s readiness profile and offer simple at home activities that families can do with their child to support the learning and development. We believe family and school partnerships are essential to each child’s success. Family partnerships are developed through daily conversations, collaboration on center events, and a variety of parent meetings. We also conduct family surveys and interviews to learn more about individual families’ traditions, cultures, and languages.
Family Engagement
Families are an integral part of our programs. We welcome families to come participate at our center through our open-door policy and value input and involvement that results in partnerships and continuity in the child’s home and center life.
Enroll your child in our preschool program
Subsidized Programs
Our programs strive to be supportive of the family, including parents who are in school, foster families, homeless families, and those working or seeking employment. We welcome all children and families into our programs. In many of our centers we provide subsidized childcare programs. To learn more and see if you are eligible, click here.

Using the example of two children, Yana Atracheva spoke about how she approached the issue of pre-school education for children and what conclusions she came to. We hope that her experience will be useful to you.
П The baby’s first year quickly flies by in worries and troubles. And all parents sooner or later think about the development of the child. When is the best time to start classes? What should a child know by age? What should be able to? Where to look for answers to these questions? In this article I will tell you how I develop my two children of different ages.

With the first child, many have difficulties due to inexperience or ignorance. I also faced this problem. In the first year of the eldest son, we had enough bedtime stories and ordinary games with rattles and toys. Often there just wasn’t time. I started to seriously engage in development after my son was 1.5 years old. At first we learned to draw, and it was not so easy. I, as a born right-hander, taught him to draw with pencils and paints with my right hand. But, as it turned out, my child turned out to be left-handed, which stretched out the learning process. I also studied colors and shades for a long time, the usual mixing of colors on the palette helped me in this. Such a game seemed very exciting to my son, and he recognized many complex shades already at 2.5 years old.
An important rule that I learned while studying with my son: never say phrases like “Let’s work out” or “Sit down at the table, we will study” to a child at a younger age. With preschool children, you just need to PLAY: words and letters, board games, talk a lot, discuss. This is what I tried to do. My child hardly went to kindergarten before school, except for a few months in a private kindergarten. But this did not affect his ability to find a language with other children.
Since we had an established daily routine and needed to diversify it somehow, we came up with a little game. Before going to breakfast, lunch or dinner, it was necessary to name a few non-repeating words. For example: five forest animals, five vegetables, five fruits. We started with three and increased the number as we learned.
I did not experience any difficulties with learning letters and learning to read. We easily learned to read N.S.’s primer in a month. Zhukova. An excellent book, I still recommend it to anyone who has difficulties in teaching children.
The cult of the English language did not bypass me either. At one time, while studying at school, I focused on the exact sciences. Foreign languages were not interesting to me and, as it seemed at that time, were not needed. But, years later, the same English was needed for work, in connection with this, I had to hastily study it. So that my child does not face this problem, I decided to start teaching him as early as possible.
An important point in learning a foreign language in children: while the child does not speak his native language well, you should not teach him another language. Children begin to confuse words or combine words from different languages into one sentence. By the age of five, my son spoke quite tolerably, but due to the fact that we began to learn English words, he began to get confused, so we had to wait a little while learning a foreign language. At the age of 6, the son got into a children’s football club. A feature of the classes was that after each training the boys learned five English words, and at the end of the month they passed an exam on their knowledge. And then I noticed that the child had a desire to learn English. He began to clearly understand the difference between languages. In addition to the club, we began to study at home. All this, of course, helped in school. Now my son is in the second grade, he is studying English for the second year. So far, he has not experienced any difficulties either at school or with homework.
I started working with my daughter much earlier, as they say, “from the cradle”. As soon as she began to focus her eyes on objects, I began to show her pictures of animals, objects, flowers and other things, voicing the names. By the age of one, she already recognized many pictures and showed them with her finger. Just like her eldest son, she read fairy tales. With drawing, we decided to wait and postpone until a later period, until it is clear which hand is leading. She eats with her left and then with her right. My daughter is now 1 year and 4 months old, she speaks about 40 words, which is above the norm for her age. He is already starting to say phrases such as “Open the door”, “Let’s go for a walk. ” Of course, the words are fuzzy, but close to the original. Naturally, girls are ahead of boys in development, but without our classes, I think this figure would be much less.
So, what conclusions did I draw from my training with children:
1. Everything should be in the form of a game.
2. There is no definite age when it is better to start developing a child. You can teach your child both a couple of years before school, and starting classes from birth.
3. Don’t chase fashion. Each child is special, it is easy to teach someone to read even at the age of 3, and for someone closer to school age it is difficult.
Do not rely on school, they will not correct the behavior of the child, his speech or understanding of the world around him. Lay the foundations of his upbringing and education even before entering school. And remember that no one will give your child more than yourself.

Education Act
The main legal act regulating education at school is Law No. 273-FZ dated 29.12.2012 “On education”.
It states that a child can enter the first grade if he has reached the age of 6. 6 months. If on September 1, the future first-grader has less, then he must pass the Psychological-Medical-Pedagogical Commission (PMPC), which will issue a conclusion on readiness for school.
At the same time, the maximum age of enrollment in the 1st grade is also stipulated. It must not exceed 8 years on September 1st.
The number of months is not taken into account in this case.
Therefore, a child can enter the first grade after 8 years, if there are reasons for this.
Most often, parents give documents for training later in the case when the minor has problems with speech or intellectual development.
In such a situation, the conclusion of the PMPK is necessary. If a child is older than 8 years old, and parents do not send him to school, then his right to receive primary education is violated.
Can there be problems with school enrollment after 8 years
There will be no problems with enrollment in an educational organization if the minor is from 6. 6 to 8 years old on September 1.
In the case when the child is planned to be sent to school later than the deadlines established by law, it is necessary to write an application addressed to the head of the educational organization to which the future student is attached in the district.
There are parents who are interested, until how many years in the first class you can enter.
The maximum period is considered to be 8 years, however, the start of training should not be delayed unless there are good reasons for this.
Psychologists believe that a child’s adaptation to school is better at 6.6-7 years.
Enrollment in first grade at 8 years of age is recommended in the following situations:
hyperactivity;
delayed speech development;
emotional immaturity;
low motivation;
mental retardation, etc.
At the same time, the conclusion of the PMPK will allow sending the child to study in a correctional institution or in a general education program according to an adaptive program.
Parents have the right not to provide an extract on the commission’s decision to a comprehensive school. This is confidential information that PMPK members do not have the right to disclose.
In this case, the child will study with other children in a regular program chosen by the teacher or school, but will not receive specialist help.
Parents of boys who later went to school worry that they will graduate at military age.
After completing secondary education, the child, even if he is over 18 years old, is given time to enter higher education institutions. Thus, the boys will go to the autumn draft, if they do not receive a deferral of study at the university.
Mental and physical readiness of the child for school
Deciding from how many years in the first class to give
child, parents should consider the following points:
the intellectual development of a preschooler must comply with age norms;
emotional maturity;
state of health;
motivation for learning;
independence;
socialization, etc.
Parents often believe that if a child can read, count and write, then he is ready for schooling.
However, emotional maturity is of great importance, which is responsible for the student’s composure in the classroom, the ability to make decisions, and establish social contacts.
Often even intellectually prepared children have problems in learning if they are not psychologically ready.
It is not recommended to rush
with admission to the first grade, if the preschooler has health problems, including
number:
chronic diseases;
immunocompromised;
recent surgery or injury.
It should be borne in mind that going to school is a physical and mental burden on a child, since the whole regime changes completely, responsibilities are added.
Therefore, in children with poor health, deterioration in physical condition, complications after illnesses are possible.
Preschoolers with intellectual or speech problems studying in kindergarten on special correctional programs are released after its development on the basis of the conclusion of the PMPK.
If the child meets the age norm, then he will not be able to stay in kindergarten to continue his education (if the child is 7 years old on September 1).
Therefore, if he has reached the age of 7, he will be released from the preschool.
Parents can apply to the kindergarten administration for further education if they plan to send him to school only at 8 years old, however, they can legally be refused.
Parents or other legal representatives of a minor are obliged to send him to school for 8 full years on September 1, while the number of months is not taken into account.
In other words, if a child was born in November 2015, then he can enter the 1st grade both in 2022 and in 2023.
Each case is individual, so it is necessary to consider the psychological and physical development of the preschooler, his readiness for learning.
If you send your child to school earlier, he may not cope well with the program, have problems with peers and teachers.
Psychologists do not recommend and delay too much with admission to the first grade, if the preschooler is fully prepared for learning and has no developmental disabilities.
Hello, the child went to school at 8 and a half years old. Now we are transferring to another school near the house, but the director of the new school refuses to take us, referring to the fact that the child is an adult for a first grader and a certificate from the PMPK is needed. It is legal?
Good afternoon! No, it’s not legal. File a complaint with the Department of Education. PMPK certificate is required for admission to the first grade after 8 years, but not for transfer from school to another school.
Hello. Can a child go to 1st grade on September 1 if the PMPK commission is finally passed in September?
No, it can’t. Without this commission, the child will not be enrolled in school, and without enrollment, he will not be able to attend it.
Conclusion
The Law “On Education” says that a first-grader can come to school at the age of 6. 6 to 8 years.
If parents plan to give up their child at the age of 8 for objective reasons, then you should write an application addressed to the administration of the selected educational institution.
In the case when a preschooler at the age of 9 does not attend school, his legal representatives may be held administratively liable for dishonest performance of parental duties and violation of the rights of a minor.
Hello! Our child’s birthday is September 1, can we go to school exactly at 8 years old?
Good afternoon! If a child is 8 years old on September 1, then he can go to first grade only after PMK.
Good afternoon! This year, on July 4, my son will be 9 years old, and this year I want to send him to the first grade. Last year, it did not work out, as there were problems with the documents. Will they accept us first without any problems?
No, they won’t. Admission to class 1 is prescribed by law – from 6.6 to 8 years. On September 1, the child must not be 8 years old.

The Ministry of Education told about the new rules for admission to the first class
Vitaly Ankov / RIA Novosti
the press service of the department reports.
– A child’s entry into first grade is an important event. This year, changes have been made to the admission procedure, according to which, for example, children have the right of priority in admission to those schools where their brothers or sisters study. This will greatly simplify the lives of many families, – commented Russian Minister of Education Sergey Kravtsov.
What has changed this year?
Now the admission of children to the first grade will take place in two stages.
The first stage – from April 1 to June 30. It is intended for children who have priority or preferential enrollment in schools, as well as for children who live in the assigned territory, that is, in the same area where the school is located. Extraordinary right (for children of prosecutors, judges and investigators) is valid only for schools with boarding schools.
The second stage – from July 6 until the filling of empty seats, but no later than September 5. It is intended for children who do not live in the assigned territory. That is, during this stage, you can apply to schools in another district. It is pointless to send an application to a school in another district before the start of the second stage, because it will not be accepted.
– The order in which the application is submitted at the first stage does not matter, so parents can not be afraid of any excitement. Places for children with priority, first or priority enrollment in schools, as well as for children who live in the assigned area, should be sufficient in all schools. At the second stage, children are enrolled in vacant places, – told “RG” in the department. – On the official website of the nearest school, parents can check if their house is attached to it. Not later than March 26, this information must be published on the official websites of educational organizations. Parents can also find detailed information about the new admission rules there.
Who can apply in the first stage?
1. Children living in the assigned area, that is, near the school (you can find out if your house belongs to a particular school on the official website of the educational institution).
2. Children who have a priority right in accordance with the law:
– children of a police officer, including those who died (deceased) as a result of an injury or other disease received during the period of service;
– children of a citizen dismissed from the police for health reasons or who died from such diseases within a year after leaving the service;
– children dependent on a police officer;
– children of an employee (including a deceased or deceased) who has special ranks and is serving in the institutions of the Federal Penitentiary Service, the Ministry of Emergency Situations, drug control authorities, the Federal Customs Service;
– children of an employee who died (deceased) as a result of an injury or other damage to health received in connection with the performance of official duties;
– children of servicemen at the place of residence of their families;
– children of servicemen upon change of place of service, children of citizens serving under a contract, as well as upon dismissal from service upon reaching the age limit, for health reasons or in connection with organizational changes – to schools closest to the new place of service or place of residence.
3. Preferential children are those whose older siblings are already in the school.
4. Extraordinary right (for children of prosecutors, judges and investigators) is valid only for boarding schools.
Who can apply for the second stage?
Everyone.
How old should a child be?
Children aged 6.5 to 8 are admitted to the first grade. At the request of the parents, the founder of the educational organization may allow the admission of the child at an earlier or later age.
Rules for Admission to a School for Children with Disabilities
Children with disabilities are accepted for training in adapted educational programs only with the consent of their parents (legal representatives) and based on the recommendations of the psychological, medical and pedagogical commission.
How to apply?
In order to simplify the process of filing documents as much as possible, we introduced several equal options:
– in person;
– by registered mail with acknowledgment of receipt;
– by e-mail of the school;
– through the official website of the school;
– with the help of state or municipal services.
How to apply on the portal “Gosuslugi”?
You can apply for enrollment in the 1st grade through the State Services portal. Procedure:
Enter the portal.
Type in the search box “Entry to class 1”.
Go to the page of the service “Admission to the 1st grade of the next academic year”.
Press the “Apply” button.
Log in to the system using login and password.
Fill out the electronic application form and click the “Submit” button.
Make sure that the application is accepted by the system (changes in service status are displayed in the personal account on the portal and sent to the e-mail specified in the application).
Wait for a decision on enrollment or refusal. Bring original documents to school.
If you enrolled your child in the first stage, the result will be known no earlier than July 3, because the school first collects all applications, and then issues orders. If the application was submitted in the second stage, then the result will be known no earlier than in 3 working days.
If the child has benefits, can they apply to any school in the city?
No, the child will have priority enrollment in grade 1 only at the place of residence.
What documents are required for enrollment in the first class?
Passport or other proof of identity, such as a temporary identity card issued while the passport is issued.
Child’s birth certificate.
At the first stage – a document confirming the residence of the future first-grader in the assigned territory.
In some cases, you may need:
A document confirming the benefit (if any).
Commission’s permission to admit a child under six and a half years of age or over eight years of age to the first grade of an educational organization.
Documents that prove your legal right to represent the child (for example, the decision of the guardianship authority).
The conclusion of the psychological-medical-pedagogical commission.
A document confirming the child’s right to stay in Russia.
Documents must be attached to the application in scanned form – when submitting documents through the State Services portal, in copies with the presentation of the originals – when choosing other methods of submitting an application.
What do I need to include in my school application?
– Surname, name, patronymic of the child and parent;
– date of birth of the child;
– the address of the place of residence or the address of the place of stay of the child and the parent;
– e-mail address, phone number of the parent;
– information on the availability of the right of extraordinary, priority or preferential admission;
– consent of the parent or applicant for the processing of personal data.
What to do if admission is refused?
A public school can only refuse admission if there are no more places available. In this case, the local education authorities must help the parents to place the child in another school. When distributing assigned territories, the number of children living there is taken into account, so refusal to admit at the first stage is unlikely, emphasize the Ministry of Education.
Can a child whose older brother or sister is already in this educational organization be denied admission?
One of the most anticipated innovations: now they cannot refuse admission to a child whose older brother or sister is already studying in this educational organization, as, unfortunately, it happened before, so parents had to take their children to different schools. This rule does not depend on the territory where the children live, but there is a nuance – children must live in the same family and have a common place of residence.
Are there any mistakes in understanding the new procedure for admitting children?
1. Some people think that the number of beneficiaries is too large, so there will not be enough places in schools for those children who live nearby. In fact, there are not so many children in privileged categories, they will not significantly affect the situation with enrollment in grade 1.
2. It is said that all preferential categories have been introduced this year. In fact, the regulations adopted from 1998 to 2012 are simply brought together.
3. Parents are afraid that all places in the chosen schools will be taken by the children of prosecutors, judges and investigators, who have the right of early admission. In fact, they will only be able to use their benefits by enrolling in boarding schools – these benefits do not apply to ordinary schools.
4. Many people think that all children with priority admission will choose the best school in the city, and there will be no places left for the rest. In fact, the right of priority admission only extends to the schools where these children live.
Where can I find out about the new admission procedure for children?
Order of the Ministry of Education of Russia No. 458 dated 09/02/2020, which approved the new procedure for admitting children to study in educational programs of primary general, basic general and secondary general education can be found here.
Comments
Irina Vladimirovna Kurbatova, director of the MAOU “Education Center 13 named after Hero of the Soviet Union N.A. Kuznetsov” (Tambov):
“The new procedure for admission to school is more socialized. We in Tambov want to enter in the first grade in some areas there are much more than there are places.Therefore, there were cases when parents had to take older and younger children to different schools.Now such situations will be excluded.Secondly, the extended deadline for accepting documents removes the unhealthy hype that accompanied this process until now. Parents can take their time and apply at a convenient time. Thirdly, the range of application options has been expanded and all the nuances have been taken into account. Those parents who do not have access to the Internet can apply in person. difficult work schedule, it will be easier to do everything remotely, without leaving your home or office.Fourthly, school employees who do not have to work around the clock benefit – the allocated period of time is sufficient to calmly carry out all the prescribed procedures.
Valentina Aleksandrovna Afonskaya, Lyceum No. 121 (Republic of Tatarstan):
“Parents should not worry about the new procedure for admission to schools, since now all the rules are clear and very clearly spelled out. Now the decisions of the executive committees have already been posted on the official websites educational organizations, and parents will be able to check which school their house is attached to.I want to draw attention to this aspect: if parents apply via the Internet, then they will then have to provide original documents to the school. information, the school has the right to refuse the applicants. Of course, the child will be given the opportunity to study, but not the fact that in the school where his parents wanted to send him. Therefore, I urge all moms and dads to be careful about filling out the questionnaires.”
Dmitry Anatolyevich Gladyshev, director of MAOU secondary school No. 59 “Perspektiva” (Lipetsk):
“We used to start accepting applications for school from February 1, according to the new rules – from April 1 to June 30. I consider this date more adequate. On the one hand, the school has enough time to carry out the admission procedure. On the other hand, by this time, parents will have already made their choice in principle, and their plans will already become more definite. Still, a lot can change since February – people can move to another place, for example.
Irina Viktorovna Ilyicheva, Principal of School No. 1409 (Moscow):
“Even before, this process was well-established in our country, since a unified educational environment has been created in Moscow: the child enters preschool groups of the educational complex and then is transferred to primary school on the application of the parents. But the new procedure for enrolling in educational organizations has become even more convenient. The fact that you can apply in different ways makes life easier for parents.”
Is it necessary to teach a child to read before school and how is this related to the further reading literacy of children?
A study by our colleagues in the Laboratory showed that educational inequality manifests itself even before school. This is due to how differently they deal with children in families with different levels of cultural capital.
firestock
Many schools now have an unwritten rule that children must be able to read by the first grade. But visiting kindergartens in our country is not mandatory. In addition, the problem of their availability is also far from being solved everywhere. Therefore, this difficult task – the formation of early reading literacy – falls on the shoulders of parents.
Andrey Zakharov and Anastasia Kapuza, members of the International Laboratory for Education Policy Analysis, decided to take a closer look at this issue and find out exactly how parents teach children to read in different families and what results these efforts bring.
Kapuza Anastasia Vasilievna
International Laboratory for Education Policy Analysis: Intern Researcher
We conducted a study based on the data of the international monitoring PIRLS, which took place in 2011. It was attended by 4461 fourth-graders from 202 Russian schools. We were interested in how the level of literacy of children at school entry and in the 4th grade is associated with the cultural capital of the family, attendance at kindergarten, and various reading teaching practices used by parents with different levels of education.
How parents teach their children to read before school
Ways of teaching reading can be divided into formal and informal. Formal ones are more focused on the mechanics of the reading process. That is, on the perception and pronunciation of letters, syllables and words. For example, this is learning the alphabet or playing with words. In informal practices, more attention is paid to the comprehension of texts – this is the joint reading and discussion of books.
Andrey Zakharov
Deputy Head of the International Laboratory for Education Policy Analysis
In general, parents with higher education are more likely to start teaching their children to read before school. Moreover, strategies for engaging with children are also related to the level of education of parents. The longer a child goes to kindergarten, the more often parents without higher education work with him. That is, such children are taught to read both in the garden and at home. At the same time, parents more often use the whole diverse set of practices: both formal and informal. We called this approach “reinforcement strategy” . We assume that this strategy is a response to requests from kindergarten teachers who encourage parents to engage with their children.
Parents with higher education use “compensation strategy” . In such families, they are more involved with children if they do not go to kindergarten. Moreover, such parents use predominantly informal practices – they try to instill in the child an interest in reading, are engaged in language development and general education.
The more often parents work with their children before school, the higher the level of children’s reading literacy – both when entering the first grade, and later, in the 4th grade. For children from families with a large amount of cultural capital, an increase in the level of reading literacy is associated with the use of informal practices by parents. But parents without higher education can apply any practice – the results of children will only get better.
Reading Literacy and Kindergarten
A child’s progress in reading also depends on whether he attended kindergarten. This is very important for families with little cultural capital. The longer a child goes to kindergarten, the better he reads when entering school. This is due to the combined effect of the joint efforts of teachers and parents.
But for children from families with a large amount of cultural capital, the duration of kindergarten attendance is not critical for their level of reading literacy.
– The compensation strategy probably works, the researchers conclude. – Parents with higher education compensated for the absence of a kindergarten by studying at home.
As a result, children from families with low cultural capital, who did not go to kindergarten, find themselves in the most difficult situation. They are less likely to learn to read by grade 1, because neither teachers nor parents teach them. Such children are more likely to lag behind their peers in the classroom at school.
Parental support for children’s reading in the 4th grade
Of course, schools do not leave children with poor reading skills unattended. They are trying to somehow influence families. Parents without higher education are more likely to join classes with children in the 4th grade. Apparently, under the pressure of the school (on average, students from such families read worse), such parents begin to pay more attention to reading to children and discussing what they have read with them. But in 4th grade it may be too late for that.
– We were surprised to see that frequent activities with children in the 4th grade were negatively associated with their reading literacy, the researchers say. – At first they didn’t even believe it, so they made the same analysis for other PIRLS member countries. In many countries, the trend has repeated. This is explained by the fact that by the fourth grade children should already be able to read, and if they have to constantly do extra work with them at this age, it means that they have problems with reading.
Outgoing train
On the example of reading, we see that the strategies for teaching children, which are chosen by parents with different amounts of cultural capital, give different results:
Parents with higher education are involved in the education of children before school. They are like passengers who come to the train in advance and take good seats. As a result, their children show a higher level of reading literacy both when they enter the 1st grade and the 4th grade. Parents without higher education prefer to delegate the function of teaching to school. They are connected only when teachers begin to draw their attention to the need to work with children. For example, when in elementary school it becomes obvious that the child is lagging behind in reading. Then the parents are somewhat belatedly connected to the education of children – as if trying to jump into the car of the departing train, but the time has already passed.
It is clear that it is impossible to force parents to take care of their children. But this state of affairs reduces the chances of successful study for a certain part of the children. If they do not read well in the primary grades, then it will be more difficult for them to learn the material in the classroom and do their homework. All this leads to the fact that the gap in educational achievements between students from different families will grow.
A child goes to school
How to help a first grader adapt to school faster
First time in first class! This is a responsible and exciting event that changes a lot in a child’s life. The first step from the world of childhood, games into another, adult, more strict, orderly world – the world of a schoolchild. This transition is difficult for the child not only psychologically, it also carries a considerable burden on his health.
The start of school is the most important period in a first grader’s life. The carefree life is over, rather difficult and serious tests are ahead. The child enters a new team – one must obey his discipline, adapt to the new regime. The person is still small, and there are many responsibilities, the load on the body increases. The main thing here is the transition from play to work, everyday, obligatory, long-term work. This transition is not easy even for those children who have prepared for it in children’s institutions. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare all children for school, but, first of all, those who do not attend kindergarten. This does not mean at all that parents should replace the teacher – after all, they do not own the methodology for teaching reading and writing, which is accepted in modern schools; nevertheless, mothers and fathers should try to deal with the child every day in order to accustom the future student to perseverance, to train his attention. A first grader should be able to focus continuously for 15-20 minutes.
Special attention should be paid to the development of the child’s hand. Physiologists have proven that it plays an important role in the formation of the brain and the formation of one of its functions – the speech of the child. Well develops the hand drawing, modeling from plasticine.
Pay attention to the child’s speech. Its development and improvement is helped by memorizing songs, listening to poems, fairy tales, stories. During the story, pay the child’s attention to the correct pronunciation of sounds and understanding of the content. If a child has speech defects, stuttering, incorrect pronunciation of sounds, it is important to eliminate these defects in the child before school and seek help from a speech therapist.
Once or twice a week, prepare for writing. It should be remembered that a child cannot write continuously for more than three minutes: he gets tired, mistakes appear, so take breaks after 2-3 minutes. Classes should be short, it is better if they take place in the form of a game with mandatory breaks. The kid needs to be praised even for small successes.
Prepare your child for school persistently, intelligently, observing measure and tact. Remember your childhood more often – this is a good school of life.
The first year of education is a period of adaptation of the child to new living conditions and it proceeds in different ways. Many first-graders take a long time to get used to a new environment. It is difficult for them to sit in class, to complete all assignments in a timely manner. Some children are not able to establish positive relationships with their peers or with the teacher, it is not easy for them to get used to the new team. Some of the children experience difficulties in learning, do not cope with the academic load. In response to the new requirements of the school, in the first months the child may complain of fatigue, headaches, irritability, tearfulness, sleep disturbance, and often a feeling of fear. The occurrence of many of these difficulties is determined by the individual characteristics of the child.
Many children of 6 years of age have insufficiently developed attention, which may be due to increased impressionability. It is not easy in the first grade for the so-called pedagogically neglected children, in whose upbringing gross deviations are made. Most often this applies to children from dysfunctional families, where parents abuse alcohol and do not raise children. These children have a poor stock of knowledge, they are not prepared for school and experience learning difficulties.
6-year-old children have a strong need for movement. If it is impossible to satisfy it, their muscle tension increases, attention worsens, and fatigue quickly sets in. For this reason, they run around during breaks, make noise, fight.
How can we make it easier for a child to adapt to school, which for most children lasts 1-1.5 months?
First of all, the child must feel that his parents support him, believe in his efforts, understand the importance of his new duties and the difficulties associated with this. Of course, at first, not everything goes well with the student. However, this should not change the attitude towards him of the closest people at home. It is very important that it always remains even, benevolent, encouraging. No matter how the child is previously prepared for a new mode of life and work at school, he has to learn everything in practice. Parents should delve into the school affairs of their son or daughter every day, be interested in everything that happened in the classroom during lessons, breaks, during a walk. Sometimes not everything that a child encounters, he can correctly comprehend. For example, a student tried to complete a task, but he did not succeed very well. So far, the child understands only that he has put in the effort, and he is not yet able to fully appreciate the result of the work. At the same time, parents should not reproach the child for an unimportant result, but praise him for his efforts, and only after that calmly explain the importance of the result of any work performed.
If the difficulties of adaptation are related to the child’s behavior in the classroom or during breaks, it is not worth punishing the first-grader; It is better to calmly sort out the mistakes in his behavior with him so that he understands and feels them.
A well thought-out home environment will make it easier to adapt to school. The student must be given a permanent place to study. The size of the desktop and chair should correspond to the height of the child. The most suitable would be a table, the height of which is two centimeters higher than the elbow of the child standing next to him. If the table is higher, it is advisable to put a bench under your feet, and put something hard on the chair seat. Children’s desk and chair can be bought in the store, they can be made to order, you can even make them yourself. To preserve children’s health, it is important that all furniture is made from natural materials: for example, from solid wood, the chair upholstery is made from natural fabrics. They are environmentally friendly, do not evaporate harmful and dangerous compounds into the air that the child breathes, like some types of plastics and wood-glue boards. For the same reason, it is worth examining the certificates of selected tables, chairs, shelves and everything else: do they meet the hygiene standards for children’s furniture.
Books, notebooks, pens, pencils, albums – a student has a lot of things. If the looked after desk does not have built-in drawers (this design distinguishes many desks), you need to buy shelves, cabinets or other storage devices. The shelf can be hung above the table so that the child can easily reach the books from his seat. At the same time, in no case should it be placed above the student’s workplace itself. Drawer cabinets are a handy option for storing notebooks, pens, paints, scrapbooks, and more. Usually they are equipped with wheels, so that they can be pushed under the table and pulled out if necessary, even to the middle of the room. And you can buy a rack, the lower shelves will be occupied by toys, and the upper ones by educational supplies.
Care must be taken to ensure that the child does not lean low over a book or notebook. You can check whether the child observes the distance from the eyes to the surface of the table (the most convenient distance is 30-35 centimeters to the surface of the table) by placing a hand on the elbow, while the fingertips should touch the temporal region of the head, and the eyes should be at the level of the thumb. If the child constantly tries to lean over the table below the prescribed level, it is necessary to consult an eye doctor and check visual acuity.
The child’s table should be well lit. Therefore, it is better to put it near the window so that the light falls on the left side of the child sitting at the table. In the autumn-winter period in the afternoon, natural light alone is not enough, and it is advisable to use a table lamp with a shade for the work of a student. Place it on the table so that the light falls from the side of the student’s left hand. For uniform table lighting, in addition to a table lamp, a chandelier is also included.
When reading, it is useful to learn to use a special book stand, set at an angle of 40 ° to the horizontal surface of the table, which makes it easier for the eyes and makes it less tiring.
When a child sits down to do homework, the noise in the apartment will disturb him. At this time, you should turn off the TV, radio or other sound sources, if they are in the same room where the student’s workplace, located in another room, it is enough to mute. Music or conversation distracts attention, interferes with concentration and therefore increases the degree of fatigue of the child from the work performed. To make the adaptation to school easier, it is extremely important to follow the first-grader regimen from the first day. Such a measure will protect him from overwork. In the daily routine, it is necessary to provide for the time of getting up, eating, studying at school, walking and outdoor games in the air, doing homework, helping around the house, hygiene and hardening procedures, and going to bed.
During the school period, a child can watch TV programs for no more than 20-30 minutes and no more than 2-3 times a week, and on weekends up to 40 minutes. Remember: evening TV viewing overloads the child’s nervous system.
Preparing lessons immediately after returning from school is not recommended. The child should have a good rest, play in the air to relieve fatigue and restore strength. Physiologists have established that the physical and mental performance of children during the day is not the same. It is highest in the morning hours (8-11 o’clock), then decreases, and a new rise occurs by 16-17 o’clock. It is during this period that it is recommended that first-graders take on homework. After 30 minutes of work, the child needs a short break (for 10-15 minutes). During such a rest, you must definitely get up from the table, walk around the room, perform several physical exercises.
Now almost every home has a computer, and it is not a luxury, but a learning tool. If you decide to put the computer in the child’s workplace, you should not put it directly on the desk: it is very difficult to maintain the required distance from the eyes to the monitor. It is better to put a special corner computer table. This will save the child’s eyesight and not clutter up the working space of the desk with the monitor. By the way, it is worth remembering that the recommended norm of working at a computer for a child is from 15 minutes a day for a first grader, to two sets of 30-40 minutes for high school students, if this time is longer, rest for 15 minutes after each hour of work.
During the period of adaptation to school, the child should not be loaded with classes in various circles, sections. Intense extracurricular activities will make it difficult and delay the process of getting used to learning at school. It is also recommended to avoid traumatic medical interventions: dental treatment, planned surgical operations.
Children, and six-year-olds in particular, have a natural need for movement, they are extremely useful for outdoor games, physical exercises in the fresh air, which increases the body’s resistance to diseases, improves health. On school days, a six-year-old child should be outdoors for at least 3-3.5 hours.
So, in order for the baby to safely get used to new conditions and study with joy, parents need to: strictly follow the recommendations of doctors and teachers, carefully monitor the child’s health, weight, height and neuropsychic development, provide health improvement and treatment children, depending on the results of medical examinations, organize the correct daily regimen, close to the regimen that will be adopted at the school where the child enters, provide rational nutrition, hardening, observe the duration of sleep and time spent in the fresh air, cultivate a friendly attitude towards children and adults . The atmosphere in the family should be calm. Do not give in to emotions, they are bad advisers. The future of a growing person largely depends on your attitude to the child and his problems, and only attention, patience and a desire to help will bring success.
Fulfilling these recommendations, dear parents, you will help your child successfully enter a new period of his life, learning will not be a torment either for the child or for you.
I would also like to say that preparation for school is required not only for weakened, but also for healthy children. Parents can get all the information necessary for this in the children’s polyclinic in Novopolotsk, room No. 18.

how to prepare a child for school on your own ✅ IQsha.ru Blog
What to pay attention to when preparing children for school, is it possible to do it on your own and when to start, and also how to behave with a child in this difficult time? In this article we will give answers to all questions.
When to start preparing
Going to school is always exciting for both adults and children. Some parents start preparations in advance so that by the first grade the child has already mastered the skills of reading, writing and counting. Often parents are interested in the question of how to teach a child to hold a pen, how to teach to read and count. There is another category of adults who believe that teaching everything is the task of teachers. Such parents spend almost no time preparing their children for school. Which of them is right? There is no right answer, and there is no single solution. Each family chooses for itself, based on its capabilities and the abilities of the child.
What happens if a child is not prepared for school? Nothing terrible. In the first grade, children will be taught to read, write, and count. But in this case, parents should be prepared that the child may fall behind classmates who have already mastered these skills. A first grader who is learning about letters and counting will have more difficult assignments, and homework will take more time. This situation is not conducive to success and may result in such a strong decrease in interest and motivation to study that the child no longer wants to go to school. Therefore, most parents try to prepare their children for the first grade in advance. At what age is it better to start training? We recommend no earlier than five years. During this period, children are especially inquisitive and show a desire to learn. Start preparing children for school gradually and always in a fun way.
Necessary knowledge and skills of a future first grader
Preparation for school is a very versatile process in which it is important to take into account the knowledge, skills and abilities of a future first grader.
Physical development
A first-grader will spend a lot of time on the move: the road to school, breaks, outdoor games, so bring up physical endurance in children.
In this pursuit, a personal example is important: move, spend time with children on the street, play active games. If possible, enroll your child in a sports section before starting school. So the baby will get used to regular classes and systematic physical activity.
Compliance with the daily routine can also be attributed to such training. Children who have not been accustomed to this are much more difficult to adapt to the school routine. This is especially true for preschoolers who do not attend kindergarten. At least a few months before school, start waking your child at the same time, and also try to organize meals, getting up and going to bed according to a clear schedule.
Teach preschoolers to discipline themselves by washing and dressing themselves, making their beds, and putting away toys and books. To do this, come up with an exciting game where all actions will become part of a big adventure-quest: complete them at speed, earn bonuses, share achievements with each other, add funny rituals. Be sure to praise the child if he did it faster than usual, and support him if he is a little late today. The main thing is to keep a good mood! In this game form, you can unobtrusively accustom a preschooler to the regimen and later to independent school gatherings.
Psychological development
Assess how the child realizes that now in his life there will be not only games, but also studies.
First, pay attention to the emotional-volitional sphere: the future first grader must control emotions. The inability to restrain joy, anger, excitement, resentment can affect the relationship between classmates and affect the quality of study.
Secondly, train the concentration and perseverance of a preschooler: teach your child to complete the work that has been started, not leaving them to the last moment. Arrange home “lessons” – draw, sculpt, do hatching, but always at the table and for 15-20 minutes, without interrupting other tasks. Systematicity and habit are important – to work strictly at the workplace, concentrating on a specific task. In the development of such household chores like taking care of your pet, cleaning your room, or watering your flowers also help a lot.Psychological readiness for school is often the most important in the overall assessment of a child’s readiness for school.
Intellectual development
This is not only the ability to read, write, count (after all, this can be taught at school). It is more important to teach the child to reason, compare facts, be able to express their thoughts and argue them.
This will require logic and speech. Logical thinking helps to analyze and compare information, find and apply non-standard solutions, and developed speech will allow you to communicate more comfortably in a team and in the classroom. The child will be able to easily express his thoughts, defend his point of view. Then communication will bring pleasure and joy. Try to pass tests for first graders together. What will be the results?
How do you prepare your child for school on your own?
Studying at school changes the whole habitual life of a child. Is it possible to independently prepare the baby for a new stage? Of course! The main thing is to stock up on time, desire and patience. Preparing for school is a long process, which consists not only in learning to read and write, but also in the psychological support of the future first grader.
When choosing preparation for school in a developing studio or in a preparatory class, it is important to understand that only knowledge can give there. They do not teach discipline and daily routine. But the training itself in the studio is more efficient, because the preschooler is in a team and quickly learns new information.
Another alternative for busy parents is online classes. Is it possible to entrust this important process to Internet services for child development and be calm about the result? More likely no than yes.
The advantage is that the child will study on his own, because all the lessons are made in an accessible and exciting way. But adults must definitely control the learning process and check how well the preschooler learns information.
Therefore, online services are great helpers, but they cannot completely replace classical training. The best training option is a combined one, when the baby is engaged at home and in a preparatory studio or on child development sites.

Getting ready for school: a step-by-step guide for parents
Preparing the workplace
This is a very important point, because in order for the posture and vision of the future first grader to be in order, you need to properly organize the workplace .
What should be taken into account?
It is best to purchase a table and chair that will “grow” with your child. They should be strong, stable and comfortable.
You can occasionally use a fitball instead of a chair. To maintain balance, the student will have to sit straight, otherwise the spine is not overloaded from a static posture.
When working at a computer, the child’s feet should be on the floor and their hands should be on top of the keyboard. When choosing furniture for a future student, be sure to consider this point.
When the child looks at the monitor, the gaze should be directed to the center or slightly above the screen.
Don’t forget good lighting, air temperature and room humidity.
If there is a TV or a game console in the room of a future first-grader, it is better to remove them. The period of adaptation to school is difficult and difficult, therefore it is better to eliminate all distracting objects.
These tips will help you set up your workplace so that your baby is healthy and comfortable.
Making a class schedule
Preparing a child for school includes the ability to follow the daily routine, observing the regime and keeping track of time. Punctuality is a wonderful skill that will definitely come in handy for a future student. How to bring up this quality in a child?
Make a daily routine and class schedule together. If everything is clear with the first point, then how to organize the schedule?
Decide how often the baby will exercise: a little every day or every few days, but longer?
Where will you study: at home, in a development studio, or both?
Do not forget about the alternation of study and rest. Between classes, there must be periods of entertainment and physical activity.
Also alternate the lessons according to the degree of difficulty so as not to overload the baby.
Try to diversify your classes so that the future student is fun and interesting.
Remember that the class schedule is not about “you have to and you have to”, so make it flexible. The task of parents is to show the child the importance of time and the effectiveness of the list of lessons, and not to discourage the desire to go to school. It is in your power to make preparation for grade 1 not an obstacle course, but an exciting process.
We select activities and games for the future first grader
Getting ready for school, you do not need to radically change the lifestyle, daily routine and daily activities of the child. Sometimes it’s enough just to adapt familiar games and turn them into full-fledged activities. It is important to do this in such a way that the game continues to be enjoyable.
Next, we will tell you how you can train the skills and consolidate the knowledge of the baby while playing. Use our ideas or come up with your own fun, taking into account the hobbies of the future first-grader.
Games to prepare children for school
Circle the circle
This is an attention exercise. The task of the child is to find in a newspaper or magazine, for example, the letter “D” or the syllable “NA”. You can also play this development game in a team, marking the time.
To reinforce the topic, offer your child to collect puzzles, go through Schulte tables and various labyrinths, which also develop attention and observation in a playful way.
“Friendly words”
The task is aimed at the development of memory. Read a few pairs of words to the child, for example, “rain-umbrella”, “rubber boots”, “doll-beads”, “paper-glue”, etc. Words must be connected in meaning. Then take turns reading only the first or only the second words of the pair. The child must name the missing word. Gradually increase the number of pairs or their difficulty.
Know-It-All
This is a speech development game. The task of the child is simple – to give a description of any word that the adult has named. For example, what does the word “blizzard”, “closet” or “hurricane” mean? If the preschooler cannot immediately answer, help him by asking leading questions.
Cotton Top
Fun is great for reinforcing and expanding a child’s knowledge of the world around them. Choose what topic you will train, voice it to the baby and name the words. If a preschooler hears an extra word, he clap or stomp. For example, the theme “Birds”: woodpecker, sparrow, wolf, snowman, cuckoo, bullfinch, peacock, fox, tit, etc. If two or more participants participate in the game, it turns into a real competition with fun and laughter.
Choose topics for the game based on the interests of the baby, as well as on the list of knowledge and skills that a first grader should have.
“Find the Shapes”
Ask your child to name as many objects of a certain shape that are in the room as possible: squares, triangles, circles, rectangles, and more. Gradually complicate the task and look for figures for a while or competing with each other.
If the future student is a connoisseur of geometric shapes, invite him to solve all the puzzles in the article “Interesting Geometry Problems and Geometric Puzzles”.
Accountants
This is one of the simplest and most popular tasks for strengthening counting skills. Ask your kid to count all the objects in the pictures, billboard, plate, bag – anywhere in a certain time! For example, “Count how many street lamps are on this street?” or “How many cups are on the table?”. Count with the baby everything that is possible, and at any time. Then a simple walk can turn into an exciting adventure!
Collectors
The game is aimed at developing fine motor skills. First, pick up small items of different shapes and textures, then place them in one container and invite the baby to sort them into separate groups. For example, fold buttons on the left, and pebbles on the right. Developing fine motor skills of the child, you prepare his hand for writing.
Useful materials for parents – tasks, games, examples
The IQsha Harmonious Development website will help you effectively prepare for school from anywhere in the world. IQsha offers many exercises in a playful way to develop logical thinking, speech, reading, counting skills. So you can diversify the learning process and make it easier and more fun.

The most important thing is to be attentive and patient with the child, take into account his wishes, do not race for success, looking back at the achievements of other children. First of all, it depends on the parents what the attitude of the future first-grader will be towards school. Be warm, accepting mentors, talk to the child more often and ask how he feels, trying to show as much participation as possible. Don’t make getting ready for school your number one goal.

Georgia election officials, voting systems CEO vouch for machine’s security ahead of midterms

The president of the Dominion Voting Systems defended the integrity of the company’s voting equipment during Wednesday’s Georgia State Election Board meeting where state officials attempted to shore up public confidence ahead of the Nov. 8 general election.
The State Election Board meeting provided the board members a chance to discuss the ongoing criminal investigation surveillance video footage and other reports showing a group of people, with the help of several Coffee County election officials at the time, gaining unauthorized access to copy every component of the voting system following President Donald Trump’s defeat in the 2020 election.
The board dismissed requests from more than a dozen cybersecurity experts and other election security advocates asking for the state to replace its electronic ballot marking devices with hand-marked paper ballots in time for the midterm election. Early voting is set to begin October 17. According to the board, it is not even authorized to adopt an emergency rule under state law, unlike in 2020 when it adopted emergency rules such as allowing absentee drop boxes after the pandemic forced a statewide public health declaration.
Board members, however, acknowledged the seriousness of the breach allegations that were further fueled by surveillance video recently released by Coffee County attorneys through open records requests made by plaintiffs in a lawsuit challenging the strength of the state’s electronic voting system.
State Election Board Chairman William Duffey Jr. said the board contacted the FBI since the circumstances surrounding the south Georgia breach are similar to incidents that occurred in Michigan and Nevada. Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger announced last week that his office has replaced the county’s voting equipment.
Several state election officials expressed that Georgians could feel more confident about the voting system if they had more insight into how Dominion machines work, how post-election audits of paper ballots can validate the initial results, and with better transparency throughout the election season.
The CEO and president of Dominion, John Poulos, said Wednesday his company’s system protects against threats. He said that each voting system is a standalone, meaning that the devices are not connected to the internet while voting takes place, and the vote is not tabulated until after the voter scans a paper ballot.
Dominion’s electronic ballot marking devices were rolled out statewide in Georgia for use in the 2020 elections and beyond. State lawmakers approved spending $107 million to replace the old Diebold machines, which did not provide voters a paper ballot to confirm their choices.
Dominion’s touchscreen devices are used to cast votes that are then printed out on paper ballots that lists each selection. The ballots are placed into a scanner that reads a bar code and saves digital images of the ballot before it goes into a secure box.
Poulos referenced security features such as encrypted memory cards and referenced how the paper ballots allow for an auditing process in Georgia in which the votes recorded on paper can be compared to the results tabulated by the machines.
“In addition to the paper ballot that can be hand recounted, you also have a record by way of a digital image of what that voter verified and confirmed at the time it was cast,” Poulos said.
A U.S. cybersecurity agency’s report released earlier this year confirmed vulnerabilities in the Dominion touch screens. And an expert witness in the lawsuit published a report about the dangers of relying on digital technology that is more susceptible to hacking.
Some critics of the state’s Dominion machines, however, point out that the ballot marking devices need to load data to display current elections and in order for tabulators to interpret the printouts of voters’ ballots.
State Election Board member Sara Tindall Ghazal said that Wednesday’s meeting was to evaluate how the board would respond to the allegations in Coffee County, part of a scheme to legitimize the unfounded conspiracies that votes cast by Dominion machines could easily be flipped in order to steal the 2020 election from Trump.
She said, however, that no reputable sources are disputing the legitimacy of Joe Biden’s Georgia victory in 2020. And even if the board had the power, she said she would not have supported deploying emergency paper ballots.
The voting experts at Wednesday’s meeting “detailed all the ways in which our votes are safeguarded, and the overlapping security measures that would very quickly make apparent if there were nefarious actors or actions attempting to change the outcome of our elections,” Tindall Ghazal said.
Morgan County Democratic Party Vice-Chair Jeanne Dufort said plenty of evidence in the case disputes Dominion’s rosy picture and asked the board whether it would ever take serious action to protect elections after ignoring repeated warnings. A prime example of a major threat is the Coffee County breach that involved some local GOP and election board leaders.
“If Georgia’s election software was pirated and distributed widely by well-funded characters from the stop the steal movement, if that didn’t scare you, what will?”

Correction procedure for the first cervical vertebra
Atlant – is the first vertebra that supports the head. It is he who provides mobility to the place of articulation with the skull. In medical dictionaries, you can find another name for this vertebra: C1. And the name “atlas” was given to the vertebra in honor of the hero of the myths of ancient Greece, who held the firmament on himself.
The procedure for correcting the first cervical vertebra ( Atlanta ) consists in mechanical pressvibromassage of the short deep muscles of the suboccipital region with a Swiss-made device PROLAXSYS . The technique and apparatus were developed by the Swiss Rene Schumperli and have been successfully used since 1996.
The works by relaxing the vibrations on the deep muscles of the neck. Like the result of is the removal of incorrect fixation of the first vertebra, which allows it to take its correct anatomical position.
Additional positive effects were discovered as the method was applied. Near the place of attachment of the first vertebra to the occipital bone, the vertebral and carotid arteries are located, venous vessels exit, and branches of the large occipital nerve exit through the short suboccipital muscles. The resulting relaxation of muscles spasmed by pathological fixation improves blood flow: arterial blood flow to the brain, reduces resistance to venous outflow, and removes nerve fibers from compression. After the atlas falls into its anatomical place, a self-healing program is launched in the body.
Causes of improper fixation of the 1st cervical vertebra (Atlanta)
Subluxation, rotation (rotation) and inclination of the Atlanta, develop as a result of injuries of various nature:
hardware obstetrics), at the birth of a large fetus, prolonged labor and an anhydrous period, etc. Often, children with the consequences of birth trauma are diagnosed with cerebral palsy (ICP), mental retardation (MPD) and psychoverbal developmental delay (SPSP).
head fall from crib;
in case of an accident – “whiplash” injury of the neck, rotational twisting during sudden braking of public transport for passengers moving in it while standing;
while diving;
injuries received by athletes: boxing, wrestling.
The most common complaints in this case :
headaches (including migraine pains that do not decrease in intensity while taking triptans), dizziness.
pain in the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine
pelvic pain, pain in arms and legs
unsteadiness, loss of consciousness, frequent nosebleeds
focal dystonia of cervical muscles
vegetative-vascular dystonia, paroxysms of panic attacks
Children may have the following manifestations of Atlant position disorder:
torticollis
motor (cerebral palsy)
speech (ZRR)
attention disorder, hyperactivity
enuresis
violation of posture (scoliotic curvature)
The technique is used only after diagnosis and establishment of indications and contraindications for the procedure.
Examination (diagnosis) before the procedure is as follows:
Interview: collection of complaints and anamnesis. Completion of relevant documentation.
Examination, palpation (manual) testing.
Analysis of existing examination results (X-ray, MRI, ultrasound, etc.)
Contraindications for the procedure :
pregnancy
postoperative period (any operation, including on the eyes) less than 6 months. glaucoma
acute infectious diseases – less than 2 weeks from the start of recovery
elevated body temperature
skin diseases with inflammatory manifestations in the neck
oncological diseases
stenting, shunting, the presence of metal structures or allografts in the spine.
recovery period after injury (cervical and brain injury) or stroke less than a year.
venous sinus thrombosis
stenosis of the vessels of the neck with the presence of atherosclerotic plaques – more than 20% stenosis
osteoporosis, with more than 2. 5 osteopenia SD
angina pectoris, atrial fibrillation or atrial fibrillation, heart failure of any degree
hypertensive crisis at the reception or hypertension not corrected by drugs.
In the absence of contraindications, and the presence of indications, the procedure for correcting the first cervical vertebra is performed. Recommendations for further rehabilitation treatment are given.
In the MEDA Family Clinic in Pushkin, this procedure is performed by neurologist Kotova Elena Nikolaevna.

Then the Great Flood occurred, and the time came for people who subjugated the remnants of the once mighty peoples of the Atlanteans and Caryatids. The ancient Greeks immortalized the memory of this victory in the statues of gigantic men (atlantes) and women (caryatids), propping up human palaces and temples. The most famous Atlanteans in our country have been guarding the building of the New Hermitage in the city on the Neva for more than a hundred years.
In 1852, the German architect Leo Klyanze built a two-story building to store the Hermitage collection, which in all its diversity could no longer fit in the Hermitage. Klyantse, together with the sculptor I. Galbig, planned to erect figures on the portico of the New Hermitage, reminiscent of pharaohs in their form. But the architects V.P. Stasov and N.E. Efimov created a project according to which the balconies of the museum were to shoulder stone atlantes. As a result, it was their idea that they decided to bring to life.
In 1844, according to the drawing by I. Galbig and the model of the sculptor A. I. Terebenev, a dozen twin Atlanteans arose. A little later, A. I. Terebenev received the title of academician for this work.
Sculptures of five-meter-high giants were carved from Serdobol granite for five whole years by one hundred and fifty stonemasons. After that, manual polishing of the monuments continued for three years. Finally, on September 1, 1848, the stone giants took their rightful place.
Unlike the traditional Atlanteans, stern bearded men, the giants of the northern capital are the personification of youth, beauty and courage. Russian folk flavor is manifested in wreaths of ears of corn and loincloths made of bearskins. Beautiful inspired faces are full of dignity and inner strength. During the Great Patriotic War, a shell fired by a German long-range cannon hit the portico of the New Hermitage. One of the giants was seriously injured, but did not bend under the heavy burden. Since then, the people of St. Petersburg distinguish him from the rest of the Atlanteans – they believe in the supernatural abilities of this indestructible stone youth.
St. Petersburg is one of the most mystical cities in Russia, and, of course, the Atlanteans also became an integral part of northern mythology. For example, some newlyweds believe that their family life will work out if, on the eve of the wedding, they touch the big toes of the monuments. Then the newly-made family will be friendly, and the children who appear in this family will be talented, smart and brave. Residents of St. Petersburg are sure that the ancient giants protect their city and can help in solving personal problems. All you need to do is grab onto the big toe of a granite foot in complete solitude, and then your wishes will come true.
Alexander Gorodnitsky, performer of the bard song, dedicated one of his compositions to the fearless Atlanteans. And who knows, maybe these silent giants really hold the gloomy St. Petersburg sky, do not let it break on the granite embankments.
The most interesting events in the city.
The best concerts, exhibitions and performances according to the editors of KudaGo.

symptoms of rotational dislocation of the C1 vertebra in children and adults
In the figure: subluxation of the atlas (the first cervical vertebra), view from the back.
Atlas (atlas, atlas) is the first vertebra of the cervical region, the function of which is to maintain the skull in a stable state and regulate the position of the entire spine.
Displacement of the first vertebra is the name of a very common injury, subluxation of the atlas. The first cervical vertebra, the atlas (C1), is attached to the occipital region of the skull and is connected to the second vertebra, the axis (C2), forming the atlantoaxial joint. It provides head mobility, normal support of the skull, high-quality blood supply to the brain and spinal cord.
In the figure: the first cervical vertebra (atlas) in the correct position, viewed from the back.
With the correct position of C1, when turning the head, the vertebra moves in coordination with the cranium relative to the C2 axis.
How the first vertebra is arranged
Atlas in its structure is similar to a ring, the lateral sections of which are denser compared to the back and front parts. These departments are connected to the occipital bone. The second vertebra has an odontoid process: it is this that provides gliding along the inner surface of C1. More information in this article.
What is rotational subluxation of the atlas?
Rotation in Latin means “circular motion”, “rotation”. Therefore, right-sided or left-sided rotational subluxation of the atlas is a slight asymmetric displacement of the articular surfaces of the annular C1 relative to the C2 axis to the right or left, respectively. More serious pathologies are rare.
It is important to distinguish between complete dislocation and subluxation of the atlas vertebra. With a dislocation, there is a complete loss of contact between the surfaces of the joints. In this case, the person is not able to turn his head at all. A dislocation, as a rule, is characterized by severe pain, and when the joint is displaced, a characteristic click is heard. A dislocation can also be non-rotational: the vertebrae are displaced not along the vertebral axis, but in any way. This almost always results in disability or death.
But much more often, with injuries and blows, it is rotational subluxation of the atlas that occurs.
With rotational subluxation, the vertebra is not completely displaced (by a few millimeters) and precisely relative to the spinal axis, and the atlantoaxial and atlantooccipital joints are blocked by tense muscles that will hold the vertebrae in a new state. The head turns in all directions, but the amplitude of rotation is limited. Pain during rotational displacement is not always observed.
It is important to note that congenital (non-mechanical) pathology of the position of the atlas also occurs, but even in this case, correction is possible.
In the figure: rotational subluxation of the atlas (the first cervical vertebra), view from the back.
The figure shows how the vertebra is displaced. The dotted red line shows the position of the atlas when displaced (some people may have a pathology all their lives and not know about it), and the green dotted line indicates the normal natural position.
Types and causes of injuries of the atlas
Displacement or distortion of the atlas most often occurs in newborns due to the actions of obstetricians during childbirth or due to improper presentation of the fetus. Subluxation is sometimes characterized by limited mobility of the neck or torticollis.
During childbirth, the baby experiences an incredible external mechanical load for its small size. The cervical spine suffers the most as a result of high pressure, especially if the birth process is forcedly stimulated using obstetric forceps and other methods.
At one time in the Soviet Union there was a practice of “preserving the perineum of a woman in labor.” The so-called “humane” method was aimed at reducing the rate of delivery of the fetus to the outside, which was supposed to reduce the recovery period of the mother and help avoid injury to the perineum. In fact, the midwife simply pressed the baby’s head in the opposite direction with her palm, increasing the already high load on the baby’s neck.
The myth of safe caesarean section
In the photo: caesarean section is one of the common causes of atlas subluxation
This is important for parents to know!
There is an opinion that a caesarean section saves a woman in labor from painful childbirth and almost completely removes the load from the cervical region. In pursuit of allowances and other perks, some doctors advertise this method as the safest. This is very far from the truth! A caesarean section, like any other surgical intervention, should be done only if there are objective indications.
A caesarean section is a method of delivery using a surgical abdominal operation in which the newborn is removed through an incision in the uterus. The main problem in such childbirth is bleeding. To reduce it, the surgeon makes an incision as small as possible (so that only the hand can pass through) and pulls the baby out by the neck with his fingers. To pull the fetus out through a small incision, you have to make a lot of effort, and the main part of this load in most cases falls on the baby’s fragile neck. Due to the fact that the newborn is actually pulled by the head with great force, this method cannot be considered safe: it often leads to C1 displacement.
Also, during cesarean section, there is a sharp change in intrauterine pressure to atmospheric pressure, which can lead to another type of birth injury – barotrauma.
Minor birth rotational subluxation (incomplete dislocation) C1 is the most common type of cervical birth injury. The key word here is “insignificant”. Relatively little attention is paid to this fact in medicine. Firstly, a slight shift in C1 does not cause sharp and irreversible pathological reactions in the functioning of the musculoskeletal system, and secondly, this phenomenon is so common that it is considered almost the norm.
There is even a theory according to which the body itself compensates for the shift in C1 with different bone thicknesses and leg lengths, and as if nullifies the imbalance that has arisen. Whether this is good or bad, and what are the consequences of such compensation, one can guess without having a medical education.
Unfortunately, neither natural childbirth nor caesarean section are safe and do not allow avoiding a high load on the neck of the newborn, which means that they do not exclude the possibility of birth injuries in infants.
Causes of C1 subluxation in adults
In the photo: trauma of the cervical spine in an accident is one of the common causes of atlas subluxation
Displacement of the vertebrae of the cervical region and any other in adulthood usually occurs due to strong blows and injuries. The most dangerous injuries of the upper cervical region.
The most common cases of spinal injuries are due to traffic accidents (when the head makes a whipping movement back or forward from the push), as well as as a result of falls on the head from a height of more than 50 cm. In accidents, other consequences are possible, for example, antelisthesis – displacement of a vertebra forward relative to other vertebrae .
Needless to say, the recovery period after such incidents takes time: from a month to a year, and sometimes the damage to health is irreparable, up to lifelong disability and even death.
Injury received during rest and sports activities due to hitting the head on a hard surface also sometimes leads to subluxation.
Symptoms and consequences of atlas subluxation in children
Even a minor injury to the cervical region and displacement of the cervical vertebrae lead to a narrowing of cerebral blood flow and clamping of the vertebral artery and important blood vessels. The consequences of this are increased intracranial pressure, headaches, migraines, dysplasia and the development of diseases of the musculoskeletal system, and a lag in motor development. Such problems are observed even in children 6, 8, 10 years old. Attempts to treat concomitant diseases, the appointment of exercise therapy (physiotherapy exercises) do not eliminate the problem.
Children who have suffered a birth injury of the neck often have a violation of posture, scoliosis. Due to poor blood supply to the brain, the central nervous system suffers, and this affects the character, psyche of the child, and his physical development.
Not all the consequences of birth trauma go away with age, some remain for life and only get worse over time.
General effects of C1 subluxation in children and adults
In the picture: subluxation of the atlas vertebra negatively affects the entire musculoskeletal system
Rotation does not manifest itself immediately, but over time it will inevitably make itself felt.
Regardless of the reasons, C1 misalignment has a serious impact on the functioning of the musculoskeletal system, ligaments and tendons, the cardiovascular system, all body systems, causing diseases and disorders such as sciatica, cervical osteochondrosis, all kinds of pinching, pain in the neck, back, lumbar pain, protrusion and intervertebral hernia and even pain in the joints (due to the long stay of the spinal column in the wrong position and uneven distribution of the load in the limbs).
At first, pain caused by subluxation may be associated with muscle overload, then pain appears due to protrusions, damage (trauma) to the intervertebral discs may occur due to their incorrect position relative to each other. Often the result of a subluxation is scoliosis, pain in the coccyx, or pain in the entire back. The back of the neck is tense all the time. Often, the curvature of the spinal column and the protrusion of the vertebrae due to the displaced atlas in the cervical region can be seen with the naked eye.
Chronic subluxation always affects the work of the vessels of the head. Mechanical compression of the arteries sooner or later leads to a deterioration in the blood supply to the brain. VBI develops (vertebrobasilar insufficiency, vertebrobasilar syndrome, vertebrobasilar arterial system syndrome). This manifests itself in neuro-sensory disturbances, weakening of vision and hearing, dizziness, headaches, the appearance of “flies” before the eyes during sudden movements.
With pinched vessels that feed the brain, the risk of stroke, malfunction of the central nervous system, blood pressure rises, meteorological dependence appears, often there is tinnitus, hand numbness, runny nose and nasal congestion, shortness of breath and even asthma. Also, fatigue, poor memory, poor adaptation to increased loads, and unstable work of the gastrointestinal tract are noted.
The medulla oblongata is located in the spinal canal. C1 subluxation can directly or indirectly affect its work, and this will lead to a change in intracranial pressure, the level of brain activity and a malfunction in the internal organs. Also in the craniovertebral joint (the area where the head articulates with the neck) there are many blood vessels that feed the brain, including the vertebral artery. When they are squeezed, the blood circulation of the cranial zone worsens, the nerve endings and membranes of the medulla oblongata are pinched.
As a result, headaches of varying intensity and frequency occur, disturbances in the work of the cardiovascular system, VVD (vegetovascular dystonia), a habit of hunching over, prolonged muscle tension, it is difficult and / or painful to turn the head to the left and right. There is a need to constantly lower the head, heaviness in the legs. There is also damage to the organs of vision and hearing, changes in occlusion, and many other symptoms and pathologies that, at first glance, can hardly be attributed to the syndrome of rotational subluxation of the atlas.
Serious pathologies in C1 subluxation
In small children (including infants), as a result of subluxation of the first cervical vertebra, a number of diseases sometimes develop, including cerebral palsy and paralysis, which leads to disability. Sometimes, in case of accidents and injuries, retrolisthesis occurs – the simultaneous displacement of several vertebrae at once relative to the position of the spinal column. In such a situation, step-by-step recommendations for restoring the health of the spine will be given by the atlas specialist of our center. You may first have to go through operations, conservative treatment of the neck, wear an orthopedic Shants collar for a while.
How to detect if the atlas is dislocated
Since all people could be exposed to birth trauma, every person needs a preventive examination to detect displacement. Some patients are diagnosed with signs of chronic diseases, the main cause of which was a displaced atlas. Therefore, the sooner the diagnosis is made and the atlas is repositioned, the better for the person affected by the displacement of the vertebrae.
When it is possible to eliminate the pathology, rapid sanogenesis (self-healing) of the body and the establishment of the work of all its systems begin. But this does not mean that the victim of displacement can be cured of all the symptoms of existing diseases only by editing C1.
How to diagnose upper vertebral subluxation?
Diagnosis of C1 displacement in the Atlas-Standard clinic is done on the basis of:
Kinesiology tests (muscle tone and the relationship between their strength of tension and the work of internal organs are assessed). Using this method, you can detect if there are malfunctions in the craniovertebral zone (cervical spine), and most importantly, tests help to see the consequences of these failures.
X-ray, CT (computed tomography) and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) show statistical changes in the vertebra. They are made for a control assessment of the state of the spinal column.
On the MRI picture: subluxation of the first cervical vertebra (atlas)
What specific methods will be selected for the correction of rotational subluxation is specified during a consultation with a specialist. Note that hardware research methods can display the structure of the joint, but cannot demonstrate the consequences of displacement. An example would be a paralyzed limb when C1 subluxation became the cause of the paralysis. For this, special kinesiology tests are needed.
The same tests are carried out after correcting C1 misalignment to ensure that there is no misalignment and that the position of the vertebrae allows the body to function normally.
Unique diagnosis of the position of the atlas
In almost all patients suffering from various diseases of the spinal column and spinal cord, seemingly not directly related to subluxation (headaches, migraines, cervical osteochondrosis, dizziness, back pain, lumbar pain, etc. ), the diagnosis reveals dislocation (rotation ) of the first cervical vertebra. Sometimes it is difficult for people from childhood to turn their heads: and this is also the result of displacement of a vertebra. Correcting the situation (subluxation) simultaneously solves many health problems.
How to eliminate subluxation with the help of the Swiss technique of dressing the atlas
Setting C1 to a normal state is achieved by vibrating the muscles of the body that stabilize and support the vertebra, which have memory. With the vibration of a certain frequency, which is produced by a special device developed in Switzerland, the muscles relax. The atlas falls into place, and the muscles are fixed in a new, correct position.
First, a free initial examination is carried out and diagnostics are made. The procedure is carried out by a doctor specially trained in the nuances of the technique. You can read more about the method on the main page of our official website.
After the procedure, the patient is assigned a special program to restore the functions of the musculoskeletal system, nervous and cardiovascular systems. Vitamin complexes are also prescribed and preventive recommendations are given depending on the initial condition and the presence of specific diseases.
The difference between the Swiss method and traditional methods of treatment
Since the craniovertebral (upper cervical) zone of the spine is the “risk zone” – the most dangerous for exposure, then usually doctors, osteopaths try to apply conservative treatment: smooth traction and a system of physical exercises to strengthen the muscles, as well as manual therapy and so on. However, these methods of osteopathy in the vast majority of cases do not provide a complete return of C1 to its natural position.
Editing C1 using the Swiss technique is based on a discovery in the field of physiology that allows you to overcome muscle memory. If the impact is carried out not with the help of a device that vibrates for a sufficiently long time, but with the help of manual therapy, then the result from the reduction of the vertebra will not last long at best: sooner or later, instability of the first cervical vertebra will manifest itself, and the atlas will again take the wrong position in the atlantoaxial joint. In the worst case, there will be no result at all, or even more damage will be done to the musculoskeletal system and the whole body.
If you want to learn more about how the atlas vertebra is reduced, what is the effect of the method, then you can read and watch detailed reviews and video reviews about it.
How to make an appointment with an atlas specialist
Leave an application for an appointment with a doctor using a special form.
The specialist will contact you as soon as possible. If you live in Moscow or St. Petersburg, you can agree on a convenient time for your visit. If you are in another city in Russia, the doctors of the Atlas-Standard clinic will be able to travel to your city according to the schedule set on the website (updated every week).
Promotions and discounts are regularly offered for residents of certain cities. Check the information with the clinic specialists.
Beware of scammers!
In no case do not trust people without medical education to rule the atlas. It is dangerous to health and even to life.

early life and education
Wayne Williams was born May 27, 1958 and grew up in the Dixie Hills neighborhood of southwest Atlanta, Georgia, the son of Homer and Faye Williams. Both of his parents were teachers. Williams graduated from Douglas High School and developed a strong interest in radio and journalism. He built his current carrier radio station and began to frequent stations WIGO and WAOK, where he befriended several announcer teams and began to dabble, becoming a pop music producer and manager. [3]
Atlanta Murders
Williams first became a suspect in the Atlanta murders on the morning of May 22, 1981, when a police surveillance team was monitoring the James Jackson Parkway Bridge crossing the Chattahoochee River (the site where the bodies of several victims were found). ) heard a “big loud splash” suggesting that something had been thrown from the bridge into the river below. [4] [5] The first car to leave the bridge after the splash, at about 2:50 am, belonged to Williams. When stopped and questioned, he told police that he was going to check on an address in a nearby town before auditioning the next morning with a young singer named Cheryl Johnson. However, both phone numbers he gave to the police and Cheryl Johnson turned out to be fictitious. [6]
Two days later, on May 24, the naked body of 27-year-old Nathaniel Cather was found in the river and had been missing for four days. The medical examiner ruled that he died of probable asphyxia but never specifically said that he was suffocated. The police thought that Williams killed Kater and that his body was the source of the sound they heard as his car crossed the bridge. [7]
Williams failed three polygraph tests. Hair and fibers recovered from the body of another victim, Jimmy Ray Payne, were found to match hair from his house, car and dog. Officers told police they saw Williams with scratches on his face and hands during the killings, which investigators suspected may have been committed by the victims during the clashes. [7] Williams held a press conference outside his home to plead not guilty, voluntarily stating that he had failed polygraph tests, which would have been inadmissible in court. [8]
On June 3 and 4, Williams was again interrogated by police for twelve hours at FBI headquarters and released without arrest or charge, but remained under surveillance. [9]
Arrest and trial
Williams was arrested on June 21, 1981 for the murders of Cater and Payne. [10] His trial began January 6, 1982 in Fulton County. During a two-month trial, prosecutors matched a number of victims with nineteen sources of fibers from Williams’ home and car: his bedspread, bathroom, gloves, clothes, carpets, a dog, and an unusual three-lobed carpet fiber. Other evidence included witness statements that Williams had been close to several of the victims while they were alive and inconsistencies in his accounts of his whereabouts. [11] Williams defended his own defense, but pushed the jury away, getting angry and angry. [12] After twelve hours of deliberation, on February 27, the jury convicted him of the murders of Cater and Payne. He was sentenced to life imprisonment. [13] After Williams became a suspect, the killings stopped. [2]
In the late 1990s, Williams filed habeas corpus and requested a retrial. Butts County Supreme Court Judge Hal Craig denied his appeal. Georgia Attorney General Thurbert Baker said that “while this does not conclude the appeal process, I am pleased with the outcome of the habeas case” and that his office “will continue to do everything we can to uphold the verdict.” [14] In early 2004, Williams again filed for a retrial, and his lawyers argued that law enforcement officers withheld evidence of Ku Klux Klan involvement and that the carpet fibers allegedly linking him to the crimes did not stand up to scientific scrutiny. . [15] Federal judge denied motion for retrial October 17, 2006
Consequences
Williams was not tried for most of the Atlanta child murders, including the murder of Curtis Walker, 13, whose body was dumped into the South River Atlanta at 1981 year. But Walker’s death prompted the Atlanta police and the FBI to monitor Atlanta’s bridges. Williams became a suspect in May 1981 after he was met by police near one of the bridges and was arrested the following month. [16]
Williams is serving his sentence at Telfair State Prison. [17] On November 20, 2019, Williams was again denied parole. He will next be eligible for parole in November 2027. [18]
Investigation reopened
Williams maintained his innocence from the start and claimed that Atlanta officials covered up evidence of KKK involvement in the killings to avoid a race war in the city. His lawyers said the conviction was a “serious miscarriage of justice” that kept an innocent man imprisoned for most of his adult life and allowed the real killers to go free. [19] In contrast, Joseph Drolet, who prosecuted Williams, supported Williams’ convictions. He stressed that after Williams’ arrest, “the killings stopped and there has been nothing since. ” [20]
Other observers criticized the thoroughness of the investigation and the soundness of its findings. [16] [21] Author James Baldwin in his essay Evidence for the Invisible (1985) raised questions about Williams’ guilt. Members of his community and the parents of several of the victims did not believe that Williams, the son of two professional teachers, could have killed so many people. [22]
May 6, 2005 DeKalb County Police Chief Louis Graham ordered the reopening of the murder cases of four boys killed in the county between February and May 1981, whose deaths were attributed to Williams. [22] [23] This statement was welcomed by the relatives of some of the victims, who, in their opinion, believe that the wrong person is responsible for many murders. [24]
Graham, who was working as an assistant police chief in nearby Fulton County at the time of the murders, said his decision to reopen was driven solely by his belief in Williams’ innocence. Former DeKalb County Sheriff Sidney Dorsey, who was a homicide detective in Atlanta at the time, also said he believes Williams was wrongly blamed for the murders. “If they arrested the white guy,” he said, “there would be riots in the US.” [25] [26] [27] [28] Dorsey is serving a life sentence after being convicted of ordering the assassination of his election opponent Derwin Brown. [29]
Fulton County authorities have not reopened any cases under their jurisdiction. [22]
According to an August 2005 report, Charles T. Sanders, a white supremacist associated with the KKK and an early murder suspect, once lauded the crimes in secretly recorded conversations. Although Sanders has not publicly claimed responsibility for any of the deaths, he told a Georgia Bureau of Investigation informant on Entry 19 [30] An anonymous alleged ex-friend of Sanders told documentarian Payne Lindsey ( Atlanta Monster ) that Sanders claimed responsibility for the murders mentioned in 1986. Spin article, [31] alleging that his brothers were also involved
Sanders had no direct involvement with the KKK or led his friend to believe that anyone else in the organization was involved. how lucky he was that he and Williams had the same carpet and that they both had a white German Shepherd.The anonymous former friend continued, “Once it involved Wayne Williams, they passed. That was their way out.”0421 [32] Police stopped investigating possible Klan involvement when Sanders and two of his brothers took polygraph tests. The case was closed again on July 21, 2006. [33] [34]
Former FBI profiler John E. Douglas wrote in his book Mindhunter that, in his opinion, “forensic and behavioral evidence conclusively points to Wayne Williams as the killer of eleven young men in Atlanta.” However, he added that, in his opinion, there is “no hard evidence linking him to all or even most of the deaths and disappearances of children in this city between 1979 to 1981”. [35]
In 2007, the FBI ran DNA tests on two human hairs found on one of the victims. The mitochondrial DNA sequence in hair will eliminate 99.5% of humans and 98% of African Americans if their DNA does not match. But they matched Williams’ DNA. [35]
DNA testing was carried out in 2010 on scalp hairs found on the body of 11-year-old victim Patrick Baltazar. Although the results were not conclusive, the found DNA sequence is only present in 29of 1,148 African American hair samples in the FBI database, including Williams’s. [36] The Balthazar case was included among the ten additional victims presented to the jury at Williams’ trial, although he was never charged in any of these cases. [37]
The dog hair found on Balthazar’s body was tested in 2007 by the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine Genetic Laboratory, which found a DNA sequence also present in the Williams family. German Shepherd. However, lab director Elisabeth Viktum stated that while the results were “quite significant”, they were not conclusive. Only mitochondrial DNA was tested, which, unlike nuclear DNA, cannot be unique to one dog. The report states that body hair contains the same DNA sequence as Williams’ dog, a DNA sequence found in about 1 in 100 dogs. [38] The FBI report stated that “Wayne Williams cannot be ruled out” as a suspect in the case. [39]
A Department of Justice A study published in April 2015 concluded that numerous hair tests conducted by FBI investigators in the 1980s and 1990s “may not have met professional standards.” Defense attorney Lynn Whatley immediately announced that the report would form the basis for a new appeal, but prosecutors responded that evidence of hair played only a minor role in Williams’s conviction. [40]
On March 21, 2019, Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Neese and Atlanta Police Chief Erica Shields announced that officials would re-examine murder evidence collected by the Atlanta Police Department, the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office, and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. At a press conference, Mayor Bottoms said, “Maybe there’s nothing left to check. But I do think history will judge us by our actions and we can say we tried.” [41] [42]

Williams appears as the main antagonist in several media coverage of the case. He was first portrayed in a 1985 television miniseries. Child Murders in Atlanta and played Calvin Levels. In 2000, Show Time released a drama film called Who Killed the Atlanta Kids? featuring Clé Bennett played by Williams.

One of the obstacles to normal physical development in children with cerebral palsy is the limitation or absence of independent movements in a vertical position as a result of motor deficits. If the child does not sit, stand or move independently, then it is very likely that the musculoskeletal, autonomic, and vascular systems involved in maintaining a vertical posture, i. e. of the entire complex of the anti-gravitational muscle group in him will be formed incorrectly. If a child in an upright position is not able to independently develop his movements or they are accompanied by a lot of mistakes, then the development of motor skills in him occurs incorrectly or does not occur at all.
For more efficient performance of physical exercises and facilitating the verticalization of patients in the CORTEX Medical Center, the method of kinesitherapy is successfully used using the neuro-orthopedic rehabilitation pneumo-suit “Atlant”, made on the basis of the high-altitude-compensating flight suit VKK-6.
For patients with cerebral palsy, the emphasis in training is on the ability to walk, make turns, start and stop movement, reduce walking instability, and form a physiological movement stereotype.
Pneumatic suit “Atlant” is intended for the rehabilitation of neurological patients with movement disorders due to traumatic brain injury, acute cerebrovascular accident, damage to the spine and spinal cord, infantile cerebral palsy (ICP).
The suit is made in the form of a tight-fitting jumpsuit, in which there are tension devices – tubular chambers inflated by a pump, located along the limbs and torso along the course of the antagonist muscles. Filled with air, the chambers stretch the suit shell, create a segmental compression of the muscles of the trunk and limbs, which activates proprioreceptors, afferentation increases, a powerful stream of impulses activates the central nervous system, which provides neurophysiological conditions for maintaining a posture, with subsequent restructuring of the supraspinal motor control systems to a physiological one closer to normal condition. The corset achieved in this way ensures the maintenance of a vertical posture, correct posture is corrected, a physiological curvature of the spine is formed, and physiological orthotics of the limbs are carried out. The patient develops the ability to move, maintain posture, improve differentiated movements, indirectly restore the innervation of the articulatory apparatus, and speech with dysarthria, oral apraxia, dyslalia, dysphonia.
The main advantages of RPK “Atlant”:
The suit does not load, but unloads the human skeleton, providing neurophysiological conditions for active muscle contraction. The properties of the suit create anti-gravity mechanisms for muscle work.
The suit restores muscle tone, increases the strength of the muscles.
The suit is used in combination with kinesiotherapy and significantly reduces the time of rehabilitation of the patient, while improving its quality.
The suit can be worn and used for patients in the supine position.
The suit can be used at home and makes it much easier for parents and caregivers to work with the patient.
Unlike analogues, the suit has practically no contraindications and does not have adverse effects on the patient.
The suit has been introduced and successfully used in many hospitals and rehabilitation centers in Russia and CIS countries. In MC CORTEX the suit has been successfully used in the process of rehabilitation of children suffering from cerebral palsy for 10 years. Accumulated in recent years, the statistics of the use of the device shows the high efficiency and safety of this method of rehabilitation.

A evening packed with solid practical advice for parents of children from toddlers to teenagers, that shows how to utilize the very stuff of family life—chores, mealtime, sibling rivalry, toilet training, bedtime, allowances and more—to create a home environment in which children can become self-disciplined, compassionate, responsible, resourceful, resilient human beings who can act in their own best interest, stand up for themselves and exercise their own rights while respecting the rights and legitimate needs of others. Barbara will discuss the keys to good parenting: treating kids with respect; giving them a sense of positive power in their own lives; giving them opportunities to make decisions, take responsibility for their actions and learn from their successes and mistakes.
Topics • Positive home climate • Simple rules to help stop trouble before it starts • Power struggles—what, how, why and when not to engage • Six critical life messages • Discipline and punishment—why one works and the other only appears to work • RSVP—reasonable, simple, valuable, practical consequences • Mistakes, mischief and mayhem • Three kinds of families—brick wall, jellyfish and backbone • Keeping your cool without putting your feelings on ice • Buffering children from sexual promiscuity, drug abuse and suicideType your paragraph here.
The bully, the bullied, and the not-so-innocent bystander

Parenting Through Crisis
Extraordinary Evil: A Short Walk to Genocide
Breaking the cycle of violence in our homes, schools and communities involve more than merely identifying and stopping the bully. It requires that we examine the why and the how a child becomes a bully or the target of a bully (and sometimes both) as well as the role the bystanders play in perpetuating the cycle. A deadly combination is a bully who gets what he wants from his target, a bullied child who is afraid to tell, bystanders who either watch, participate in the bullying, or look away, and adults who see bullying as teasing, not tormenting, as ‘boys will be boys.’ not the predatory aggression that it is. If this combination of relationships is not radically transformed, we have enough incidences in our recent past to convince us that it is not only the bully who can terrorize our community. Some bullied children, whose cries went unheard, whose pains were ignored, whose oppression went unabated and unrelieved, have struck back with a vengeance and sorrow. Others, who reached what they felt was an utterly hopeless and irretrievable point, have killed themselves. Feeling they had no other way out of the pain and torture heaped on them by their tormentors, no one to turn to, no way to tell, they made a tragic and final exit. It is easy to point fingers; place blame; fortress our schools; push zero-tolerance plans; mandate a bully awareness week; stiffen penalties for bullying; or simply ignore the problem and hope it will go away. It is more difficult—and necessary—that we as individuals, families, and entire communities create safe harbor for all of our children. We must do what is necessary to take the weapons out of the hearts, minds, and hands of our kids. We need to give kids the tools to be able to stand up for their own rights while respecting the rights and legitimate needs of others; to handle conflicts nonviolently; to act with integrity when confronted with difficult situations such as peer pressure to cause harm; and to develop a personal code (inner moral code) that gives them the wherewithal to do what is right in spite of external consequences and never merely because of them. No easy task; no simple answers.
The Making of a Bully • A working definition; • What bullying is not — playful teasing, sibling rivalry, fighting that involves equals with competing claims; • Bullying behaviors — physical aggression, shunning, verbal aggression, intimidation and coercion; • Where, how often, who does it involve. The Bullied • A working definition; • The short and long term impact of bullying on the target of the bully; • When a bullied child becomes a bully. The Bystander • A working definition; • The bystander as sibling, peer or adult and the impact being a bystander has on escalating the violence; • The impact on the cycle of violence when a bystander becomes a peacemaker — empowered to act with courage and integrity. Breaking the Cycle of Violence and Creating Circles of Caring Home 1. How three kinds of families help create bullies, targets of bullies, and bystanders, or children who are responsible, resourceful, resilient, compassionate human beings, who can act in their own best interest, stand up for themselves, and exercise their own rights while respecting the rights and legitimate needs of others, stand against injustices, act with integrity, resist provocation, and resolve conflicts peacefully; 2. What to do if your child bullies; 3. What to do if your child is a victim of a bully; 4. Helping children develop a personal code [inner moral code] integrating knowing, feeling, and acting; 5. Teaching children to be able to discern the differences between telling and tattling; 6. Teaching children to ‘own their anger’ [no one can ‘make’ them angry], and develop inner tools to resist provocation; 7. Teaching nonviolent conflict resolution — resolving conflict rather than escalating it or burying it.
School 1. Teaching the fourth R: relationships; 2. Creating a school climate in which all kids believe they have worth, are capable human beings, are expected to serve and can resolve conflicts nonviolently; 3. Creating ‘esprit de corps’ — the spirit of devotion and enthusiasm among members of a group for one another, their group, and their purpose; 4. Going beyond values clarification and/or moral reasoning to teach character education — the head/heart/gut connection; 5. Using the arts as significant tools to teach character, ethics, and moral reasoning. [If we don’t, the entertainment industry will — and the character, ethics and moral reasoning it teaches might well cause more damage than good. ‘Instead of passionate attachment to what is good, noble and just, youth develop passionate attachments to their own needs, wants, and feelings.’] a. Creating a community of purpose b. Censorship by omission; 6. Why zero tolerance is zero thinking — and a constructive alternative: mistakes, mischief, and mayhem in proper perspective to causes, conditions, and consequences.
Communities 1. Comprehensive, multi-institutional, community-wide solutions that address the violent behavior of young people, while redressing the social conditions in which the violence flourishes; 2. Anger management programs that work and those that don’t; 3. Reconciliatory justice on a community-wide scale as an alternative to punishment and vengeance; 4. The power of forgiveness. If creating more caring, more compassionate, less alienating, less violent communities is a goal, we must give up our desire for swift revenge and retribution, stronger punishments and stiffer sentences. When the main goal is to make children ‘pay dearly’ for what they have done and serve as examples for others who might think of doing the same, hate and bitterness find rich soil in which to grow. How bullies are treated will influence what kind of people they will grow up to be and what kind of lives the rest of us will live. If we don’t help them reconcile with the community, we could well condemn ourselves to a lifetime of fear, distrust, and mayhem. When an entire community is committed to reconciliatory justice, the young offenders are invited to rise above their misdeeds and violent acts. The goal is to mend and restore rather than isolate and punish. The search is not for vengeance but for ways to heal people and heal relationships.
Cyberbullying: the Bully, the Bullied and the Bystander Breaking the Cycle of violence in the net neighborhood
Through an examination of three clearly defined genocides — the Armenian and Rwandan genocides, and the European Holocaust — Barbara Coloroso deconstructs the causes and consequences, both to its immediate victims and to the fabric of the world at large, and proposes the conditions that must exist in order to eradicate this evil from the world.
Based on the Barbara Coloroso’s 30 years of ongoing research and travel, her theories on bullying are here exposed as having a terrifying link to the unspeakable crime of genocide. By linking the psychology of the bully to the motivation that leads a community to murder, Coloroso provides devastating and vital insight into why people kill their neighbors.
By exploring the words and actions of those who not only did not succumb to the intoxicating madness around them but railed against it, and by studying conditions under which ordinary people commit extraordinary evil and attempting to comprehend that evil, it is possible to create conditions in our communities and in the world that will strengthen inhibitions against such violence and nurture those bonds that connect us, one to another.
In this lecture, best-selling author Barbara Coloroso, whose work on bullying has brought her international recognition, turns her attention to genocide: what it means, where it begins, and where it must end.
kids are worth it! Teaching with Wit & Wisdom
A workshop packed with solid practical advice on how to use the stuff of everyday life to teach children to act with integrity, civility, and compassion. Beginning with the idea that it is in us to care, that we are born with an innate capacity for compassion, Barbara Coloroso shows professionals, educators, and parents how to nurture and guide children’s ethical lives from toddlerhood through the teen years using everyday situations at home, at school, in social settings, and in the world at large. • How to develop an ethic rooted in deep caring with principles, virtues, and values that are in the service to and at the service of that caring • The why and how to teach our children to think and act ethically • The possibilities and pitfalls of character education programs • Nurturing in children the three antidotes (care deeply, share generously, help willingly) to the virulent agents that are ripping apart the fabric of our human relationships (hating, hoarding, and harming ourselves and others) • How rigid moral absolutism and shifting moral relativism interfere with raising ethical human beings • Media: The Good, the Bad, the Ugly, and the Indifferent—how we can help children use these tools and not be used or consumed by them. • The difference between punishment and discipline—why one works and the other only appears to
The story about our human nature in today’s social and cultural climate is part and parcel of our human nature and our social and cultural climate. Our story is also guided by our compassion and loving kindness, which recognizes that there is no I without Thou, no We without Community and no way to survive without honoring both our unique individuality and our common humanity.

Bullies are using high tech tools to threaten, stalk, ridicule, humiliate, taunt, and spread rumors about their targets. The characteristics of bullying—imbalance of power, the intent to harm, the threat of further aggression, and the creation of terror—are magnified with the user of electronic technologies.
Bullies are: 1. emboldened by apparent anonymity afforded them in cyberspace 2. removed from the immediate reaction of the target, 3. far too often not held accountable for their actions.
Faceless and nameless electronic transmissions make it easy for bullies to torment their targets anywhere and at anytime, with apparent anonymity, distributing of irretrievable messages worldwide. Even though most cyberbullying occurs outside of school, it negatively impacts students and the school environment. It has already led to violence—including murder and bullicide—in schools throughout the world.
The Cyberbullying workshop includes: • Cyberbullying: What it is and what it isn’t • Ways and Means of cyberbullying • Stop, Copy, Block and Tell: helping kids protect themselves • Decoding the code • The consequences of cyberbullying on the three characters in this tragedy • Out of sight—not out of mind: the impact on the school and community environment • The legal, social, and psychological ramifications of cyberbullying • Media: the good, the bad, the ugly, and the indifferent • Links to online resources • The Three P’s: policies, procedures, and programsType your paragraph here.

Kids Are Worth It! Book Review and Discussion
The way to get your kids to behave is to give them the gift of self-discipline. But exactly how do you do that? That is what author Barbara Coloroso outlines in her book, Kids Are Worth It!: Giving Your Child The Gift Of Inner Discipline
This is a really great book. I have read quite a lot of parenting books and I am not sure that any have resonated with me as much as this book did and in the way that it did. This book held a mirror to the way that I was parenting, the consequences of how I was parenting, and I did not like what I saw. Kids Are Worth It! author, Barbara Coloroso, asks the question, “Is my goal in parenting to influence and empower my children or to control them and make them mind?”
Parenting Styles
Coloroso divides parenting styles into three main types. 1) Brick-Wall: “Do it my way, or else!” 2) Jellyfish: those parents who are inconsistent and rarely enforce house rules, and 3) Backbone: firm, flexible and respectful parenting.
At first I read this and thought, ‘Of course I am a Backbone Parent! I’m not overly strict and I’m not a pushover!’ I gave myself a pat on the back for being so awesome! Sadly, the more I read through the book and read her examples of situations with children and how each type of parent would react, I saw myself for what I really am. It was such a shocking realization that I had to put the down for a few days and come back to it. During those days I really heard the words coming out of my mouth for the first time and thought about my parenting style and what I wanted for my relationship with my children.
Brick-Wall versus Jellyfish Parent
I have often said that I am slow to anger, however, once I get there watch out! In dealing with the outside world this is a pretty good trait, but at home it isn’t. I realized that it isn’t so much that I am easy-going, as I had led myself to believe, as I do not like conflict. So I will ignore, pacify, ignore some more until I explode over something that all by itself is very minor. So a typical Jellyfish A Parent, which the author says is often a result of being raised in a Brick-Wall Family. Though I don’t identify with all (most?) of the descriptions of the Jellyfish Parent, I think it probably sums up my overall attitude. And whoa boy, that is hard to admit that you think you are doing one thing, but then realize you are parenting in a completely opposite way. Also hard to admit, I identified with a lot of the Brick-Wall Parenting when it came to my teenagers, probably because I was being a Jellyfish until I became the Brick-Wall. I do think, however, that most of us probably fall across the categories depending on what the situation is.
What I loved the most about this book was that Coloroso would give a parenting scenario or challenge. And invite you to consider how you would react. Then she would write what each of the type of parents would do. This style of writing means that you already considered what your reaction would be before you read how wrong you were.
On Bribes, Threats, Rewards & Punishments
In Chapter 4, “Children can not thrive on bribes, threats, rewards, and punishments. If you need to get rid of these tools in your parenting toolbox, you will need something to take their place.” This spoke to me. I don’t use bribes, threats, or rewards (or at least I didn’t think I did. Turns out they are a lot more nuanced than I believed) but I have nothing that takes their place.
“Some parents nag with finesse every morning, (‘Hurry up you are going to be late, don’t forget your gym sneakers. Do you have your library books? Where’s your coat? Can’t you remember anything?’). Kid goes off to school in great shape and parent is bordering on a coronary. Was Coloroso looking in my window when she wrote this? Because this sounds an awful lot like me. She offers really good suggestions on how to turn the conversation around and stop being the nag that you don’t want to be by offering instead a comment that provides basic instruction. In the previous case something along the lines of, “Check your list so you are sure you have everything before you leave the house.”
Punishment is an external force holding children accountable for their actions. Discipline “is a process that gives life to learning; it is restorative; it invites reconciliation.” Discipline involves real world consequences. These consequences are learned without nagging, reminding, or warning from the parent. Coloroso says, “If the natural consequences are not life-threatening, morally threatening, or unhealthy, it is good to let the child experience them, without warnings or reminders.” This is the one area that I am okay in. I have never even used the word punish with my children. My daughter loves to wear shorts, year round. Granted we live in Texas and it is fairly warm all year, but definitely not shorts weather when it is 40 degrees. I refuse to argue about things like this though. Usually I will say that she should check the weather before she gets dressed, but she will usually still chose shorts. She says she isn’t cold, so why does it matter? A mother of one of my daughter’s friends asked me why she was wearing shorts all the time. When I explained that it was my daughter’s choice what to wear and that she was happy wearing shorts, the woman said she would never allow her daughter to do that, because what would everyone else think? That was a pretty telling statement about how this family believes children should be treated. It also caused me to reflect on some of my own parenting choices and whether they were motivated by other people and not what was in my heart.
Just the Right Words
Throughout the book, Coloroso has quotes from other authors, philosophers, parenting experts, and religious leaders. In the beginning I found them a distraction, but as the book went on many of them summed up perfectly the message she was trying to convey:
Building a conscience is what discipline is all about. The goal is for a youngster to end up believing in decency, and acting-whether anyone is watching or not-in helpful and kind and generous and thoughtful ways. -James L. Hymes, Jr.
Discipline takes time. It isn’t easy. It isn’t a quick fix.
Alternatives To No
The chapter on the Alternatives to No was one of my favorites out of the entire book. Instead of saying No, Coloroso suggests three things:
1) Yes, later. 2) Give me a minute 3) Convince me
She says the No should be saved for the really big and important things. I use number two frequently, but number one had never occurred to me. That simply changing the way that you say something has an impact.
More Common Parenting Mistakes
She then outlines other areas that trip us up as parents, where we think we are being supportive or helpful, but are not:
– The mini-lecture! (Hi, I do this!) – Asking questions that get us nowhere fast. (Hello, I do this, too!) – Empty threats (I am queen of this with my younger children and they all know it.) – Ultimatums (sometimes, yes, I do this, though I did not recognize it as such until I read the book. ) – Put-downs (Phew, thankfully something I don’t do!) – Be Careful! (I do this all the time. I thought I was being loving and caring. Whoops!)
In the introduction of Kids Are Worth It!, Barbara Coloroso admits that she is not a perfect parent with perfect children. Something I found refreshing. She says her own children would ask her why she didn’t handle certain situations the way she was instructing other people to do. She writes, “The following pages are things I do, have done, would have done, wished I had done, and plan to do the next time.” And it was in that spirit that I read this book. What can I, as a parent, strive to do the next time? The past is the past. I can, however, move on and use the new tools in my toolbox instead of reaching for the old trusty ones that didn’t work so well.
You did what you did then, now you know better, you do better. -Maya Angelou
Final Thoughts on
Kids Are Worth It!
There is just so much in this book that I could go on and on. Mine is filled with sticky tabs highlighting things that caused me to pause and consider my parenting. It will be one of the books that I refer to over and over again when I am facing an issue with my children.

This interview is unlike any we’ve done so far on The Knowledge Project. We’re talking parenting with one of the foremost experts in the field, Barbara Coloroso. Her book, Kids are Worth it, was introduced to me by the mother of one of my son’s friends, (possibly as a hint towards my parenting), and once I started reading her books, I knew I had to get her on the show.
Her style is spunky, hard-nosed and compassionate all at the same time. And the qualities that her methods instill in children, mirror those that I want for my own kids — kindness, accountability, curiosity, and self-reliance to name a few. I’ll admit, as a father of two boys, I had selfish motivations to get Barbara one on one, and hopefully get the inside track on how to master this parenting thing.
If you’re a parent, uncle, aunt, or interact with children in any way, you won’t want to miss this captivating interview.
Here are a few highlights from our discussion:
I came up with three basic tenets. One, kids are worth it. I believe they’re worth our time, energy and resources to help them become all they can become. Second, I won’t treat them in a way I, myself, would not want to be treated. And third, it must leave my dignity and the child’s dignity intact.
I felt that bribes and threats, rewards and punishments, which by the way, have become an insidious part of our culture, really interfere with raising an ethical human being. I want a child who will stand up for values and against injustices when it costs them, not when they’re getting rewarded for being good because it’s all about getting caught.
Praise-dependent, reward-dependent children make wonderful henchmen for bullies. They will do the bully’s bidding because they want whatever reward that bully is dangling in front of them.
If you make a mistake, it’s a very simple formula. Simple doesn’t make it easy. With a mistake, you own it, you fix it, you learn from it and you move on.
We want assertive lines, not aggressive or passive. Our climate today of adult discourse doesn’t help our kids at all, with these virulent attacks and dehumanization of another human being, which is what verbal bullying does. So we need to walk our talk and talk our walk.
Discipline is not something we do to a child. It’s something we do with a child. Punishment’s adult-oriented. It’s imposed from without. It arouses resentment and teaches kids to respond out of fear, or fight back, or flee. Discipline, on the other hand, means to give life to a child’s learning.
If it’s not life threatening, morally threatening, or unhealthy, let it go. Let them experience the consequences.
I really dislike it when people say, “My teenager’s my best friend,” I say, “Get a life.” They need a mentor. They don’t need a friend right now, not you as a friend. Then in adulthood, you can become their friend and you better become a good friend because they do pick out your nursing home.
We have 105 words for penis, and 125 for breasts, and only one for an ankle. We have to start young teaching kids to use their proper words. I want a little boy to say something like, “My penis feels funny,” instead of using all these euphemisms, wee wee, sausage and bacon, or twigs and berries and all the different words that we use.
Deep caring is not liking somebody. I tell kids, “You do not have to like every kid in this classroom, but you must honor their humanity.” Deep caring is a must to relieve somebody else’s suffering, and wishing them well, which by the way, is the antithesis of mean and cruel.

Kids Are Worth It Summary and Review – Ramon Suarez
Kids Are Worth It: Giving Your Child the Gift of Inner Discipline is important because of its message and ideas to produce responsible and independent human beings. It applies to children and I find it helpful for myself and my relations with adults (also in the workplace). Being a good father is one of my aspirational life goals . Reading books and implementing what I learn are some of my tools to become better.
The title immediately attracted as being more disciplined is something I’ve always struggled with.
I found this book thanks to an interesting interview in a podcast. Listening to Barbara Coloroso made me buy three books on the spot (I also got Bully, the Bullied, and the Not-So-Innocent Bystander and Just Because It Isn’t Wrong Doesn’t Make It Right: Teaching Kids To Think And Act Ethically). I found what she said and her view of parenting interesting, and it also struck a chord.
Let’s start with Kids Are Worth It.
Summary
Kids (and all other human beings) are worth it because they exist and deserved to be treated with dignity. We are worth it too.
The behavioral system of punishments and rewards comes at the expense of dignity and self worth of both child and parent.
There are three premises to Barbara’s system:
Kids Are Worth It (your own and also those of others)
I will not treat a child in a way I myself would not want to be treated
If it works and it leaves the child’s and my own dignity intact, do it
It is not about control
It is not about controlling your children, but about helping them take their own decisions and act ethically. They need lots of information about themselves and the world. Kids have free will and are going to suffer peer pressure. We have to give them the tools to deal with this responsibly.
If they make mistakes when they are cheap, they will rarely make expensive ones later in life. They grow and learn from their mistakes. They learn how to think, not what to think.
You can guide kids through the process of making decisions without passing judgement. Responsibilities and decisions need to be age appropriate and meaningful. Some decisions are for the parents to make and responsibilities to have.
Control attempts to eliminate choice.
Control is often imposed via abuse. Abuse is not only physical. It also comes in the form of emotional battering and neglect. Constantly criticizing and putting down kids makes them see themselves as bad.
Rewards and bribes are another side of the same coin (a bribe is just a nicer sounding threat). You are just trying to control and you give the wrong message to kids that they should do things because of what’s in it for them, not because of values.
You want to teach children to think critically. You want them to be all that they can be, to act with integrity and to advocate for social justice.
Control tactics force kids to behave the way adults want. The result is often that they become submissive, obedient and compliant. Or that they go the other way and rebel against all authority.
The words you use matter. If you want your kids to be tolerant, accepting and kind you have to demonstrate the same in your words and your actions.
To empower your children you first have to give them a secure, safe and nurturing environment, with unconditional love and concern for their well being. In this environment they can make choices and mistakes, assume responsibilities and become involved family members. They can think critically and learn to be aware of the consequences of their actions. They can learn to accept responsibilities for the good and the bad they do. All this makes them more responsible, resilient, resourceful and compassionate. They learn to act in their own interest, to stand up for themselves, to exercise their rights, and to respect the rights and needs of others. We have to give ourselves and them opportunities to grow and learn.
Types of families
She uses three types of families to give examples. We are all a mix of the three:
Brick wall families with a rigid structure used for control and power
Jellyfish families with almost or no structure
Backbone families structure is firm, flexible and functional. This is what you want to be (but it is not easy and you are not perfect, don’t beat yourself about it)
Kids need boundaries and guidelines, but it has to be flexible, open compassionate and adaptable to circumstances. They need a stable environment conducive to creative, constructive and responsible activity.
6 critical messages
As a backbone family you give a network of support to your children through six critical messages daily:
I believe in you
I trust you
I know you can handle life situations
You are listened to
You are cared for
You are very important to me
Rules and consequences
There are rules, and they should be stated clearly and simply. Kids learn democracy through their family experience. In their family they are motivated to be all they can be while accepting who they are. They are encouraged to be competent and cooperative. They receive lots of smiles, hugs and humor: love is unconditional.
Consequences to behaviour are natural or reasonable and kids get second chances. As a family you are willing to seek help. You are teaching your children to think and to have curiosity and a thirst for knowledge.
As long as the natural consequences are not life threatening, morally threatening or unhealthy it is good to let the child experience them.
For morally threatening consequences think Why can’t I?:
Because it is unkind
Because it is hurtful
Because it is unfair
If consequences are reasonable for the child’s age and state of development, simple for them to have a plan to solve the problem, valuable as a learning tool, and practical they will invite responsible actions from your kids. If you can, come up with consequences with your child.
Kids have to learn to accept their own feelings, to express them and to act responsibly on those feelings based on their self-awareness.
These messages reinforce their self esteem:
I like myself
I can think for myself
There is no problem so great that it can’t be solved
As a backbone parent you want to influence our children through encouragement (keep it true and non judgemental), feedback and discipline.
Feedback
There are three kinds of feedback:
Compliments (specific and directed at deed, not the children)
Comments (neutral feedback intended to instruct, not attack)
Constructive criticism (of the mistake or problem, never about the child. Focused on mistakes that can be fixed and actions that can be changed.)
Discipline takes time and it is not punishment. You want your kids to know that they need good plans for their problems, not excuses.
These are the four steps of discipline:
Kids are shown what they have done wrong
They are given ownership of the problem
You help them find ways to solve the problem
And you leave their dignity (and yours) intact
Restitution, resolution, reconciliation
Sometimes the four steps are not enough, especially if the child intentionally or unintentionally creates more serious problems. Then you have to add the three Rs to begin the healing process when material or personal harm occurs:
Restitution (fixing the damage, repenting honestly and unconditionally, not an obliged apology, with a strong desire not to do it again and assuming responsibility for the damage)
Resolution (figuring out ways to stop this from happening again and implementing them)
Reconciliation (healing with the person you have harmed, they are not obliged to do anything for you)
Alternatives to saying no
Three alternatives to saying no all the time (you can say no, but it is not good to say it all the time):
Yes, later
Give me a minute
Convince me
You can do x as soon as you do y
When you say no to a big issue explain why.
Don’t do:
Mini lectures (kids need opportunities to solve problems but it helps to have the support of an adult that knows they can handle their problems)
Questions with no right answers (statements are more productive)
Questions with no options (commands disguised as requests)
Questions that punish (like the ones that make the child feel guilty)
Wishy-washy questions (Do you mind if I say something?)
Empty threats
Ultimatums (you lose power and leave the outcome to the child who also fears abandonment. It is better to take time to cool off and then come back with you need from them.)
Put-downs: sarcasm, ridicule and embarrassment
Be careful (disguised plea / command / directive. Better to discuss dangers and assert trust).
Think for yourself but you better listen to me
What you can control
As a parent you can’t always control what happens, how you feel or how you respond to a situation. You can control how you use what is happening to you and what you are feeling.
The members of a backbone family:
Acknowledge their own feelings and label them
Admit they are angry, hurt, afraid, etc. and do something responsible and purposeful to address those feelings.
Make assertive statements about yourselves
Acknowledge your kid’s feelings as real and legitimate without passing judgment
Teach your kids to assertively handle their own feelings
Conflict, anger and confrontation
The last thing an out of control child needs is an out of control parent.
Confrontation is necessary sometimes. You need to understand their anger to deal with it effectively:
Where did anger come from?
Is anger masking another feeling?
Why be angry anyway?
Once the child’s anger is understood they are ready to confront the person they are angry with.
Children need to learn how to enter into conflict and deal with it nonviolently, constructively, creatively and responsibly.
Conflict is a challenge: embrace it as an opportunity to grow and change with nonviolent tools and assertive confrontation.
You can guide children towards a resolution, but you should not give them the solutions.
If one of the kids is hurting another, step in asap.
There are seven steps to construct a productive assertive confrontation:
If you are upset or angry say so in an upset or angry voice
Tell the other person about your feelings
State your belief but avoid statements that attack the other person
Give direct feedback on what has been done and do it as close to the deed as possible
Say what you want from the other person
Be open to the perspective of the other person about the situation
Negotiate a mutually acceptable agreement and choose a time to get together and see how the plan is working
To keep a fair fight it is acceptable to:
Call for a time out
Refuse to take abuse
Insist on fair treatment (honest, adequate and just)
Fair fighting enables all members of the family to use feelings positively to establish and maintain productive relationships.
There are six steps to solve problems:
Identify and define the problem
List viable solutions
Evaluate the options
Choose an option
Make a plan and execute it
Evaluate the problem and your solution
If the first option does not work, children have to understand that they have to go to the other options and see if one will work or explore new options.
To call a family meeting:
The problem needs to be important and relevant to all participants
Parents need to provide non judgemental leadership
The environment needs to be conducive to sharing
You can guide children towards a resolution, but you should not give them the solutions.
If you lose your cool: “I’ve lost it. Give me five minutes to come up with something that makes sense. I’m open to suggestions.” Kids learn they can try again even if they lose it.
Tools:
Make them write together what happened. It will teach them to compromise and to see things from the other’s point of view
Sit them in a couch and they can only get up if both give permission to each other (you can give them time to cool off individually before they sit together)
You may sit in between to ensure no more fighting
Kids have to learn what to tell and who to tell it to.
Telling vs tattling:
Tattling: will get the other child in trouble.
Telling: it will get the other child out of trouble.
Tell me if it is telling, not if it is tattling.
Don’t demand apologies, they are an easy way out. Cooperation is the key. Apologies can be requested.
When kids are fighting, after they cool off they can:
Share
Both stop doing what they were doing and fighting about
Come up with a plan of something they can do together
Don’t play judge. Don’t accuse kids falsely of doing something (better not to accuse them at all).
If a kid hits, a kid sits. Timeout to cool off. You can give them options to do it in three places (even walking or sitting). Calm down as long as needed to be able to go back to the situation and handle it responsibly. Then go back to resolution, restitution, reconciliation. It is ok to feel, not ok to hit.
You only control your part of the relationship but you can influence it by the way you ask for things.
No is a complete sentence.
Bullying
A person that hurts another one deliberately and repeatedly is a bully. Punishing only teaches them to be more aggressive. Letting them get away is not better.
Tools to reform a bully are the three R and:
Teach empathy and perspective taking
Teach non aggressive and peaceful ways to get what he/she wants
Create opportunities for the child to do good
Engage in constructive, entertaining and energizing activities
Victims of bullying are often ashamed of speaking about it and afraid of retaliation. Look for telltale signs of bullying:
Sudden lack of interest in school or refusal to go
Drop in grades
Wanting to be left alone and to withdraw from school and family activities
Hungry after school (excuses may be that he/she was not hungry or that lost lunch)
Missing money and not good explanations for where it went
Torn or missing clothes
Using demeaning/derogatory language about peers
Not talking about everyday activities and peers
Injuries not consistent with the explanation given
What to do if you suspect your child is being bullied:
Inform school officials immediately
Keep notes about the incidents: who, what, where, when, why, how.
Keep notes of your conversations with the schools and parents and what they say they are going to do
Follow up on the actions taken
Help your child break away from the bully-victim relationship
Respond to his/her fears with encouragement, support and love
Make sure the child understands that he/she will be listened to and that nothing is too silly or bad to talk about
Standing up to a bully may mean stand your own ground, walk away or run fast to the safest place or to a trusted adult
Teach your kids to be assertive, to express their feelings clearly, to say no when pressured, to stand up without fighting, and to walk away in dangerous situations
Add the same tools as to reform a bully
Aggression and passivity invite more aggression from the bully. Assertion can dissipate it.
The bully should be disciplined, not punished nor rescued.
Chores, relaxation, recreation and rebellion
Chores and leisure activities are important for strong personal and family relationships.
Welcome their help and make them understand that it is needed. Present chores in a way that makes them meaningful to the kid, useful for the family and part of the order of the house. They need to believe that they can contribute and make a difference.
Chores can help kids:
Organize themselves and their own resources
Experience closure on tasks
Set goals and build skills
Don’t bribe them to do chores, they’ll learn to only act based on rewards and not intrinsic motivation.
Give them second opportunities after they have experienced the consequences.
To teach them skills:
Demonstrate how to do it
Teach them
Guide them through it
Let them do it on their own
Mistakes are for learning.
Encourage your kids to sit down, be quiet and get to like themselves (meditation).
Play is an opportunity to renew and recreate ourselves, to connect with others, cooperate and accept. Encourage your child to develop hobbies they can get lost in.
Go out with your kids just to enjoy each other’s company.
Kids need to see us take a stand for values and against injustice, to embody those values. Teach them to speak and do what is right, integrity, even if there’s a burden. Teach them that we care for their intent and their actions. Teach them to reflect on the impact of their actions and the other person’s point of view.
Allowance
Useful to teach them to save, spend and give. They decide what to do.
Base the amount on what they need, how much they can handle, how much you can afford and how much you want to give.
Meals
It is the best time to teach kids about nutrition, preparing and buying food, having manners, and conversation.
Give choices that are practical and that you can live with (options with limits).
Sexuality
If you want to be the primary sexual educator of your children you have to have open and honest communications about sexuality as early as possible in your kids lives. Use the proper names for body parts.
Sexuality is a wonderful part of being, it is much more than sex. Help them understand their own sexuality.
Preteens need to know the detailed facts. When children reach puberty we have to move from parenting to mentoring.
Review
Barbara Coloroso has written a great resource for parents that is worth reading. I agree with her ethics and philosophy, but I wish Kids Are Worth It had been shorter and more structured. It takes too long to read and to reach the actionable part, but it is worth the read.
There are useful examples, but not so many to apply to my current three year old crisis 🙂
A workbook or playbook would be a great addition to make it easier for parents to act and improve the education of their kids.
The bullying section really struck a chord and brought a lot of painful memories from my childhood. both as a victim and then as a bully myself (I’m not proud of it, but it has been part of my learning).
The phrase “two don’t fight if one does not want to” was thrown at me to many times by dismissive adults that:
Punished me for being a victim
Failed to understand that the missing part of their equation is taking a beating, not having a peaceful living
My school was too lenient on the bullies and punished the victims (in my case for insulting the bullies and defending myself). This is not right.
I’m very sensitive to bullying and harassment (also in the workplace) and Kids Are Worth It can also be helpful in this environment.
If you are curious about the books I’m reading, check out my Goodreads profile. There are already over a thousand books there.

Kids are worth it!
Best parenting book I have ever read! I listened to her original audio tape in 1989– changed my life.
Good information, however …
This book has the tendency blame parents for their child’s behavior. While I do believe extreme cases of abuse, which she mentions, but is not on the scale of the norm for most children, can bring about problematic behavior. I have an adopted child. That in and of itself brings about different and at times difficult circumstances. She talks about not saying “no” but rather “later” and other methods that seem to place parents on eggshells of remembering responses that might not come across as authentic. My daughter knows when an adult is not being authentic with her. And believe me she doesn’t appreciate it, respect or trust them as a result. Every child is different and this book seems to cater to the child who is strong-willed and will try the patience of most people to get their way. His can be from the smallest to the biggest thing. My child doesn’t respond to most of the methods spoken about here or in other books that I’ve read. She knows when she’s being bamboozled. I will say that I had a hard time getting through it because my eyes were steadily rolling in the back of my head. She talks about being critical while she is being critical of the things parents might get wrong. She also speaks against punishment/consequences in a whole chapter but doesn’t offer the alternatives right away. Again, every child is different. I don’t see taking away phone/electronics as a punishment when the grades aren’t good or bad choices being made. Parents are paying for a luxury and giving it to their children. The deal is they keep up their grades, help out around the house and display respectful behavior. I don’t believe that to be unreasonable or punishing behavior. Luxuries are privileges that are earned. She also states that it’s unreasonable, if your child dyes their blue, for you to disagree because they won’t feel accepted in the family. Really? It’s not a punishment to teach your child that there is a time and place to express themselves and maybe finding alternative times and space to be creative. Rebellion is not independent thinking. Rebellion is still contingent upon the reaction of others. Therefore, they’re not thinking for themselves. Teaching that respectful communication is always welcome but anything other than that will not get heard is not a punishment. What she suggests will churn out spoiled, entitled children who expect everyone to bend to their desires, to be accepting and praised for everything they do and if not, they will act out. Different personalities respond and react differently. Some children make the connection and adjust to their level of understanding and maturity. Some children even when they understand dig their heels in to get their way. Some children retreat because any teaching or guidance feels like pressure and they become fearful. Parenting is a day to day responsibility that requires thoughtful reflection and connection with your child. Get to know your child for who they are. Make an effort to know them, observe them, etc.. Parenting is a constant striving to be better and to guide your children toward the same but ultimately their choices are theirs to make for better or for worse.

Philosopher David Benatar: Having children is a big mistake

Life is full of suffering, says David Benatar
David Benatar has been called the world’s most pessimistic philosopher because he thinks life is so terrible that it’s not worth starting.
In his book “Better Never to Have Been”, Benatar develops the idea that coming into the world is a terrible bad luck.
A 51-year-old philosopher who heads the philosophy department at the University of Cape Town in South Africa believes the best option for humanity is to stop reproducing and disappear from the face of the earth.
The BBC Hispanic Service (BBC Mundo) spoke with Benatar in an attempt to understand his philosophy of anti-natalism and see if he applies these ideas to his own life.
BBC : What does the philosophical concept known as anti-natalism suggest?
David Benatar : Anti-natalism suggests that humans should not be born.
BBC : Why?
D.B. : I think there are many good reasons. One of them is that new people should not be born because of the suffering that these individuals will have to endure.
There are many arguments in defense of this, one of them is that there is a lot of pain and suffering in a person’s life, so it is not good to give birth to new people.

The German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer was one of the greatest thinkers who questioned the meaning of existence
BBC : But there are good things in life…
D.B. : Yes, it’s true, there are some good ones too. But the question is, is the good worth all the pain. It seems to me that people often forget how bad the bad things in life can be.
There is a lot of philosophical evidence that people overestimate the quality of life and think it is better than it actually is.
Another common mistake is to think about the future and not realize the amount of suffering that people are likely to experience towards the end of their lives.
Think about how people die, about cancer, about infectious diseases, about infirmity… There is a lot of suffering at the end of life, and people often forget about it.

Benatar believes that people experience too much suffering in their lifetime
BBC : But if you’re right and life really is that awful, a person can always end it, right? ?
D.B. : Yes, but suicide has a price you won’t pay unless you’re born. If you were not born, you never existed. You can avoid the bad things in life without paying any price for it.
Suicide may be the lesser of all evils, but it is still evil, it is something bad.
In fact, people don’t want to die. For this reason, most continue to live, despite the fact that life does not please them and is not a positive experience for them.
Another cost of suicide is the pain and suffering you inflict on others.

End of Story Podcast
BBC : Doesn’t anti-natalism go against human nature?
D.B. : Not everything that is natural is good. Suffering from disease, for example, is perfectly natural. But people are not offered to give up medicines or operations for this reason.
Aggression is also one of the natural forms of behavior among humans and other animals, but it doesn’t seem right to us to give in, to yield in response to aggression or some other “natural” impulses.
What is natural and what is morally or ethically desirable and what is preferred are two different things.
BBC : T What makes abortion ethically and morally justified for you?
D.B. : Yes, of course. Anti-natalism claims that it is not good to reproduce new people, and abortion is one way to achieve this.
BBC : It’s not just humans that suffer, many animals languish. What should be done with them? Kill to save from suffering and pain?
D.B. : There is a huge difference between extermination and natural death.
Extermination is murder, and I do not support the killing of people or animals. There may be rare exceptions, some scenarios where I might think about it.
But in general I don’t support killing people or animals. But I support extinction, and one of the ways to extinction is not to give birth to new creatures.
Many animals live in freedom, they are not bred by people. But many animals are bred by man, for example, on farms where they are raised solely to kill and eat.
We bring untold suffering to these animals, and I am for stopping their breeding.
We can feed ourselves just fine without it.

Benatar says we should stop breeding animals for slaughter
BBC : But can’t we just make this world a better place to put it out of its misery?
D.B. : I believe that we are constantly improving this world, and that everyone living in it is obliged to do everything possible for this.
But to think that we can improve this world to such an extent that all suffering will disappear in it, that we can have children who will never feel the pain that accompanies this life – all this is an overly optimistic point of view.
But even if we could, it is a very distant future, many generations away. We are talking about generations of people doomed to great pain just because they were born.
Sacrificing several generations for those who will live in the future – it seems terrible to me.

People remember the good things better and overestimate the quality of their lives, says philosopher
BBC : If life is so terrible, why do you think people decide to have children?
D.B.: I don’t know. Many do not think about what it means to have children. They just give birth.
Approximately half of the children on the planet were not wanted.
Of course, there are people who think about it. In most of these cases, the arguments are based on self-interest: they want their genes to continue, they want to experience what it is like to give birth and raise a child . ..
Some even present it as a kind of altruism – those who give birth to children for the community or to please their parents who dream of becoming grandparents.
But most of the time people just don’t ask themselves what it really means to have a baby.
These questions are not asked because it is such a common, such a common thing, it is taken for granted that one should have children. Very few people think about the ethical problems associated with the appearance of another person in this world.

A person may start life in an atmosphere of love and happiness, but in the later stages of life he can be doomed to severe suffering, says Benatar
BBC : But imagine a child who has just been born, and a good life awaits him, full and happy. Wouldn’t it be immoral to deprive him of this life?
D.B. : Well, a child can be happy at times, I don’t argue with that. But when a child enters this world, not only happy moments await him.
This child will also grow old and suffer, get sick, die. We should think about his life as a whole, and not just about pleasant moments.
Now consider: children are often unhappy. Just imagine all the time when babies cry, disappointed and upset.
But even if we talk about a completely happy child, this may be a case of so-called “adaptive preferences” (preferences generated under limited circumstances).
Think, for example, of a group of people raised as slaves from childhood. Slaves may be content with their lives and may not mind their servitude because they were raised that way.
I would be against it even if these people were happy.
Image caption,
Slaves can be content with their lives if they’ve been brought up that way from childhood, the philosopher notes. responsible for the suffering of their children, because they are they gave birth to . Does this mean that they are also responsible for the suffering of their children’s children, their grandchildren’s children, and so on?
D.B. : In a way, yes, indirectly. They are not directly responsible, it can only be applied to them for the birth of their own children.
But when someone decides to breed, they must understand that they will give birth to new potential breeders.
And if someone does not think about all these generations that will follow a specific decision to give birth to offspring, you understand what a great responsibility this is connected with.
BBC : Could this idea of stop reproducing and let humanity die out someday?
D.B. : No, I don’t think so. At least not on a large scale. I think there will be individuals who decide not to breed, in fact I already know some of those people.
But I believe that anti-natalism can be successful on a small scale. Even on a small scale, this is important because many will be spared suffering by not being born.
I am not naive and do not expect to convince anyone of the correctness of my ideas. But I firmly believe that this is true, and I want people to think and ask themselves what it really means to have children.

Benatar preaches abstaining from reproduction, but doesn’t think his ideas will ever be realized by mankind
BBC : When did you decide to embrace the philosophy of anti-natalism?
D.B. : I’ve always thought about it. Over the years I have developed ideas that I have always had. The basic, basic idea is quite obvious to me, although I don’t know if it’s obvious to others.
BBC : Do you blame your parents for reproducing you?
D.B. : I don’t like answering personal questions. I prefer to talk about concepts and ideas. You might be interested in looking at the dedication at the beginning of my book It’s Better to Never Exist.
BBC : Yes, I read it. It reads: “To my parents, despite the fact that they gave me life.”
D.B. : Well, then you all know. I have nothing more to add.
BBC : Last question: do you have children?
D.B. : This is another personal question.
What time do babies start crawling and how to help them
September 21, 2019LikbezAdvice
Six months, a year, never. All answer options are correct.
Share

Crawling is a baby’s first big step towards independence. And everyone is free to do it as they please.
What does it take for babies to start crawling? He must have sufficiently strong muscles of the back, neck, shoulders, arms and abdomen.
While crawling, so-called binocular vision is involved: the ability to focus both eyes on the same object. Not the last role is played by the developed visual-spatial perception.
Rally McAllister
MD, MH, author of children’s health books
Crawling helps children learn to navigate and train their memory. For example, he begins to understand that in order to get to the toy basket, you need to move around the table.
What time do babies start crawling
According to WHO’s Motor Development Study: Windows of achievement for six gross motor development milestones, most babies crawl between 6 and 11 months of age. Approximately half of them master the movement on all fours by 8.3 months of age. A little more than 4% skip the crawling stage altogether, immediately get up on their feet and try to walk.
There are several reasons why some babies crawl earlier than others:
Genetics. Yes, some are born to crawl almost from the cradle.
Weight. Thin, well-muscled children predictably master difficult movements ahead of their chubbier peers.
Time spent on the stomach. Babies who are more awake while lying on their stomachs begin crawling earlier on average. They put more effort into getting up and looking around than if they were lying on their back. As a result, the muscles of the neck, arms and back necessary for crawling are strengthened.
Why don’t all babies crawl the same way
Babies are not programmed to crawl in any particular way. They simply experiment with different modes of transportation and eventually settle on the most effective for themselves. And that’s okay.
Stomach
Approximately half of babies begin crawling by choosing one of the following styles or alternating between them.
1. On the bellies
rivm.nl
The child leans on his elbows and pulls himself forward with one or the other handle, leaning slightly on his side.
2. Style
seal
kidspot.com.au
Baby pushes himself with both arms at the same time, rising slightly and then hitting his stomach on the floor.
3. Style
“frog”
lovevery.com
Lying on his stomach, the child pushes off with his feet and “rows” with his legs, as if swimming like a frog.
On all fours
Babies usually go from belly to all fours fairly quickly. Which is quite understandable: try to crawl yourself at least a little like a plastuna or like a seal – and you will understand what an energy-consuming and even painful task it is.
Some children spare their bellies and immediately begin to crawl like an adult, that is, relying on four limbs. And here, too, options are possible.
1. Classic style
babycenter.com
Baby walks with bent legs and outstretched arms.
2. Style
“crab”
parenting.firstcry.com
The baby walks backwards, looking between his legs, or moves sideways.
3. Style
“bear”
latinamoms.com
Similar to the classic method, only the child leans not on his knees, but on outstretched legs, raising his buttocks up.
4. Scooter style
youtube.com
The kid leans on his hands, bends one leg at the knee, and pushes off the other, as if riding a scooter.
Other options
Crawling on your stomach is difficult and unpleasant, and to move on all fours you need to develop a delicate sense of balance. Some children prefer to take the easier route.
1. Rolls
cherbebesleep.com
The child moves around the room by rolling from side to side.
2. Fidgeting
move2connect.com
The baby fidgets on the buttocks and thus moves from one point to another, sometimes helping himself with his hands. According to anthropologists Crawling May Be Unnecessary for Normal Child Development, these movements most likely replaced crawling in our ancestors even before the development of agriculture and a sedentary lifestyle.
This is what is still happening in the hunter-gatherer tribe of Papua New Guinea. There, babies up to a year spend 86% of the time sitting in a sling on their mother’s back. Sometimes they are planted on the buttocks and almost never spread on the stomach. It is clear that in such conditions children cannot learn to crawl. But they don’t suffer from it.
Is there any way to help the child
Perhaps the best thing parents can do is to stop paying attention to the achievements of the neighbor’s children. And rejoice in the success of your child. And so that they are not overshadowed by troubles, take care of the safety of the baby in advance.
Hide wires and plug sockets.
Make sure all furniture is secure. It’s better to temporarily remove something that is easy to overturn: a floor lamp, an ironing board, a light bookcase, houseplants in large pots.
Move souvenirs, money, cosmetics, medicines, cleaning products and detergents out of reach. In the best case, the baby will scatter, spill, break or break something. At worst, swallow it.
Wash and dust floors daily.
Check the floor regularly for coins, corks and other loose items. Remember that young explorers always put everything in their mouths.
Cover a hard floor (parquet, tile) with a baby rug or blanket to reduce stress on your knees.
Keep hot food and drinks away from the edge of the table.
Make sure there are no piercing or cutting objects within the child’s reach.
Of course, it is impossible to foresee everything. But better put your energy into organizing a friendly space and developing a healthy habit of not throwing things around. With the rest of the tasks, the baby can handle it on its own.
When to worry
So, it doesn’t matter at all if a child can crawl in the classical sense of the word. Often young experimenters mix styles, switch from one to another, or develop their own special method. In any case, it is not technology that is important, but a keen interest in the development of space.
The cause for concern is the lack of any progress in movement. If by 12 months the baby has not begun to actively move around the room, it is necessary to consult a pediatrician. However, it is not necessary to wait a year. If something is bothering you right now, talk to a pediatrician you trust and calm down.

When the child must go
Pediatricians agree on some points. The average child does Your Baby’s First Steps your first step at 12 months. The key word here is average. And your unique one has every right (approved by pediatricians and physiologists) to go to a different age.
The scope of the norm in this case varies very widely – from 8 months to one and a half years.
Many parents are proud that their children start walking earlier than most. It seems to them that this speaks of the development of the child. But this is just a far-fetched excuse to amuse their parental vanity.
The age at which a child will be born is related to his development, physical or intellectual abilities in exactly the same way as the shape of the nose or the color of the hair. In plain text, no way. Someone is red, someone has gray eyes, and someone went on their own at 8 months.
However, there are still certain situations when a delay in starting to walk should alert.
When to start worrying
First, a healthy child must somehow take the first independent step before 20 months Child development: Early walker or late walker of little consequence. By this age, the children have grown strong enough that it was given to them without much effort. If the child refuses to walk or does it only with support, it is necessary to contact the pediatrician. You may need additional examinations from other specialized specialists – an orthopedist or a neuropathologist.
Secondly, the overall picture is important 14 Month Old Not Walking: Should I Worry. It’s one thing if the child does not walk, but his motor functions are obviously developing: he confidently rolls over, sits down, reaches for toys, crawls, tries to rise against the wall of the crib or climb onto the sofa, jumps enthusiastically when you hold him by the hands. And it’s quite another if his physical activity seems insufficient to you. This is also a serious reason to additionally consult a doctor.
If none of these situations apply to you and your children, relax. The child will definitely start walking as soon as he is ready for it.
What determines when a child goes
By and large, this is a lottery. No pediatrician will undertake to predict the exact dates, even observing a specific baby from birth and knowing everything about the family history. However, there are some regularities that allow us to make assumptions.
Here are the main factors that can affect (but not necessarily) the age at which a child takes his first independent steps.
Genetics
If a father or mother started walking at an early age, it is likely that children will inherit this feature. The reverse is also true. If, for example, a father preferred to crawl for up to a year and a half, his son may choose the same tactic.
Weight and body type
Plumper and heavier children have a harder time getting on their feet and keeping their balance than their leaner and more muscular pals.
Some personality traits
Getting to your feet and taking the first step without support is quite a risky undertaking. Some children act on the principle of “head into the pool”: they simply remove their hands from the wall or sofa and step into the unknown. Of course, they fall, sometimes it hurts, but they try again. Perhaps this propensity for risky behavior is part of their nature 10 Things to Know About Walking, which will stay with them forever.
Other infants, on the other hand, behave in a more balanced way – they walk only when they are sure that they can cope with this task. Caution and the ability to calculate their own strengths can also be innate features of their personality.
Duration of pregnancy
Children who were born prematurely, as a rule, begin to walk a little later than their peers.
How to help your child take the first step and walk confidently
It is impossible to force children to go to a certain date. Walking, for all its seeming simplicity, is a very complex and energy-intensive process: what does it take to maintain balance on one leg at the moment when the other takes a step. The body of the child must mature for this stage. But you can help Ways to Help Baby Learn to Walk. True, you will have to start long before the first step.
What to do at 2 months
Around this age, babies first try to roll over. Encourage this movement. Lay out your child more often in a soft, safe space filled with bright toys – so that you want to look at them and, possibly, get them.
Encourage children to spend more time on their stomachs. Trying to raise your head and look at the world around you strengthens the muscles of your back and neck, which play an important role in maintaining balance while walking.
What to do at 4-6 months
The period when the child learns to sit up and possibly crawl. Provide a place to explore the world: let the children spend more time not in a crib or playpen, but on the floor – spread out some blankets and lay out toys. Trying to reach objects is a great workout for small muscles.
What to do at 6-8 months
The child is already sitting confidently, or even crawling. Give him tasks for dynamics: for example, roll a bright ball on the floor so that you want to catch it. Such a ball hunt trains the vestibular apparatus and coordination.
Another exercise with the same goal is as follows: put the child on his back and rock gently.
What to do around 8 months old
As babies become stronger and more curious, they tend to break away from their usual gender. For example, get a toy lurking on the couch. Or try to climb on mom (dad), holding on to trousers or a bathrobe with your hands.
Encourage these movements. Put your favorite bear cubs out in a conspicuous place. Or, when the child is sitting, invitingly stretch your hands towards him from the height of your own height, without bending down, to encourage him to reach out to you.
If you see that the child is ready to get up, help him to do it. And then show how to bend your knees to get back on the safe floor.
During this period, it would be nice to buy a stationary game center, which you can play with just getting up. This encourages children to spend more time standing up.
What to do at 9-10 months
Teach your child to stand without support. At least a couple of seconds. To do this, at a time when he is holding on to something, offer to take his favorite or new toy. This will force him to take his hands off the support.
A slightly more advanced exercise: help the child stand up and then give a plastic stick as a support. Carefully move the object – the baby will start to follow him. A stroller can also play the role of a wand: put it next to it during a walk, let it grab the frame and slowly move forward.
Heavy stable toys on wheels (toy lawn mowers, carts) will also be a good simulator: by pushing them in front of them, children learn to do step by step.
What to do at 10 months and older
At this age, many children already know how to walk. But often they are afraid of a large open space around. Make sure that the child has the opportunity to move “along the wall” – that is, in a maximum of a step or two, move from one support to another. This will create a sense of security.
To get children to go out into the open, you can use a regular gymnastics hoop. Throw it on the child, giving him the opportunity to lean on his hands, and lead the hoop to the center of the room. The kid will follow the support.
But the experts advise to refuse popular walkers.
Firstly, these items reduce the child’s desire to learn to walk: really, why, because he already knows how to move in space in this convenient contraption? Secondly, walkers are simply unsafe. Thanks to them, children in a matter of seconds can be where they should not be. For example, in front of the stairs leading down or at the table, on the edge of which there is a cup of hot coffee. Adults simply do not have time to keep track of this.
When you realize that your child is already trying to walk, be sure to get on all fours and look around from the height of his eyes. Sharp corners, sockets, edges of tablecloths that you want to grab and drag down, an iron on an ironing board, and the like – all these dangers must be neutralized.

she works with her four-year-old son

I told my three-year-old son a year ago that cartoons broke down and now they only work on weekends.
Instead, I persuaded him to take up drawing — I just bought the Kumon. Simple lines. At first, my son did not succeed, but then he got involved, and I began to buy other notebooks for him. Until now, every evening we learn math from them, develop speech, draw or glue crafts.
I am one of those adults who find it difficult to deal with children: I am more interested in working or cleaning. But in a year, we still went through 27 developmental notebooks from different authors.
In this article I will tell you how they differ and how to choose those that will interest the child and not bore the parents.
Why did I start studying with my son
A year ago, my son went to kindergarten. Once, the teacher complained that the children in the group did not draw well, and I took it as a stone in my garden.
I began to punish myself that I didn’t work with my son at all, but only read fairy tales to him. The rest of the time he plays with his younger brother and watches cartoons for hours. I did not intend to deprive the child of games, but decided to limit cartoons and instead teach him to draw.
First, I looked at the prices in the Lyubertsy educational circles where we live. Closest to home was the children’s center “Sema” – subscriptions for eight classes a month there cost 4400 R. Each lesson lasted 45 minutes.
/pervoe-slovo/
How to help a child speak faster
I decided to give up this option: classes were held on Tuesday and Thursday mornings — at that time my son was in the kindergarten, and I worked. I was also embarrassed that the program included music, and drawing, and the development of speech, and modeling: I thought that they would not really teach anything there. For this I felt sorry for 4400 R per month, or 39600 R per academic year.
This is a description of classes at the children’s center where I wanted to send my son. The same games were played with him in the garden. For example, he talked about the game “Hares”: children jump to one music, and to another they hide from the fox in hoop houses. I decided that it was not worth spending money on this. Source: sema-lubertsi.ru
Instead, I decided to study with my son myself, but I didn’t know where to start, so I began to google drawing tutorials and read reviews. As a result, I ordered the workbook “Simple Lines” for kids from two years old on Ozone – it cost 435 R.
Overview of the Simple Lines notebook – YouTube
This notebook is based on the Japanese Kumon technique. It is built on repeated repetition and gradual mastering of the skill. It all starts with instructions on how to hold a pencil. In the first tasks, you need to connect two points with a straight line, then make rounded and pointed lines, and in the last, fortieth, lesson, the child is already offered to circle a large castle with many towers.
This instruction helped me teach my child how to hold a pencil correctly. There were similar ones in other Kumon notebooks. Source: youtube.com This is the first and last task in the notebook. I could not even believe that my son would circle this castle. Source: youtube.com
I thought it was a sound approach. I thought that we would start with these lines, and there, you see, my son will learn to draw and color. I also figured that every day you can do one lesson – each had 2-3 tasks. As a result, 40 lessons would be enough for 40 weekdays, or two months of classes – for a 435 R allowance, this was very good. And we started trying.
How did the first lessons go
My son immediately liked the bright pictures in the notebook. In the first task, it was necessary to draw a road from a small crab to a large one, and we decided that it was a baby and a mother. But when the son took the pencil, difficulties began: he held it in his palm or put it between his thumb and forefinger. I showed how to take it correctly, but my son did it his own way. I wanted to swear, but I understood that in this way I would discourage the child’s interest in classes. In the end, I took his hand in mine, we somehow drew three lines, and my son went to play. The lesson took about 15 minutes.
The next days, right after the kindergarten, I offered my son to work out, and he surprisingly did not refuse. We still studied for 15-20 minutes and during this time we managed to go through one lesson – each consisted of 2-3 tasks. They didn’t try to do more: I didn’t want to wait until my son got bored or tired. We always drew the first line together, and then the son tried it himself.

The breakthrough came a week later: the child correctly picked up a pencil the first time and quickly completed all three tasks in the lesson. The lines were pale and crooked, but I was still happy. And the child got a taste and asked to draw more. Although the authors of the book did not advise taking more than one lesson at a time, I did not see anything wrong with this, and we completed two at once – it took about 30 minutes. It was the same on the following days – in a month we finished the notebook.
The first task that my son completed without my help. He even passed it twice
During this time, I realized that dealing with a child is not so boring. I liked making up stories with pictures with him. Here is a daddy cat going home to a mommy cat who is preparing dinner. What is his profession? He must be a sailor. Where are their kittens? In kindergarten at a matinee.
I noticed diligence, perseverance and perfectionism in my son, which I really appreciate in people. If the line did not work out, he often drew it again so as not to go beyond the boundaries of the track and make it brighter.
Of course, sometimes he got tired, gave up the task in the middle, and this annoyed me. For example, once he asked to do the third lesson because he liked the picture there. I said that the pen needed to rest, but he rested, began to draw – and nothing came of it. Since then, we agreed in advance how many lessons we would take: sometimes I didn’t have the mood to do more than one.

I was also proud of how quickly my son made progress. I understood that he was already three years old, and the book is designed for children from two years old, and perhaps mastering the lines was not such an achievement. But I was still delighted and began to buy other developmental aids for my son.
I will tell you what other materials were needed for the classes.
What I bought for class
We only had felt-tip pens and colored pencils at home, but half of them got lost. So for classes, I bought a set of new supplies: two types of colored pencils, another felt-tip pens, children’s scissors, glue and stickers – to encourage my son for success. In order to choose everything correctly, I consulted with kindergarten teachers and read the “For Parents” section in the notebooks that we studied.
Classic colored pencils I took triangular: I read that they are the most convenient for a small child. I studied the reviews and took a set of 18 Erich Krause pencils from Ozone: they draw well and rarely break. The set cost 181 R.
We still have these pencils. Source: ozon.ru
Wax colored pencils were needed for my son to learn to color. The authors of one of the notebooks advised them: they are soft, and the child does not have to press hard on the pencil to make the drawing bright. But they did not recommend felt-tip pens: with them, pressure is not needed at all, and the hand does not get used to the load.
Wax crayons turned out to be cheap: at Wildberry, a set of 24 Junlandias cost only 115 R. My son liked to draw with them, but they gave me trouble. The pencils were thick and did not fit into a standard sharpener, so I sharpened them the old fashioned way – with a knife. They also constantly broke if the son pressed hard on them – a year later only one survived.
The line from the wax pencil is brighter than from the usual one. But it is easy to break
I bought felt-tip pens so that my son would draw with them not in notebooks, but for the soul. But over time, we began to perform tasks in mathematics with them. They also need a lot of coloring, and my son quickly gets bored, but he agrees with felt-tip pens.
According to the reviews, I chose a Timka BG set of 12 colors for 182 R on Ozone. The felt-tip pens were thick, short, and the child easily held them in his hand. And most importantly, they were water-based and easily rubbed off wallpaper, furniture, floors and pajamas.
Now, a year later, only the primary colors are missing: red, yellow, green, blue, orange and cyan. The rest are still painting, but recently I bought another similar set for 117 R.
There were mini-prints on the caps from the first set – my son was delighted with them
Children’s scissors. We had ordinary stationery scissors at home, but the authors of the cutting notebook advised me to buy children’s ones. They are smaller than usual, and they have rounded ends – the child will not get hurt by them. But at the same time, they cut perfectly.
I decided not to save money and took Kangaro brand scissors with excellent reviews for Wildberry. They cost 274 R.
The scissors are only 12 cm long. They are small enough for a child to easily guide the cut line.
Adhesive. At first I bought the cheapest glue stick for 16 R. But it was a failure: while my son was attaching one piece of paper to another, the glue dried up and nothing worked. The child was nervous, threw or tore the craft, and this annoyed me.
In the end, I bought a regular PVA glue in a jar, and everything went great. In a year, it took us four jars of 26 R.
I was forever disappointed in the glue stick and will never buy it again. And ordinary liquid glue is ideal for children’s crafts. In order not to stain the table with glue, I first laid cellophane on it. Then I discovered that at the end of the “Kumon” notebooks for crafts there are special cardboard substrates
I bought stickers to encourage my son for his efforts. I chose two sets for 136 R for Wildberry. At first it seemed to me that my son would not study without prizes, so I bought these stickers. But then he began to forget that after the lesson he was entitled to a present, and still left satisfied. So I was convinced that an interesting process is also a prize.

9000 How classes fit into the evening routine
From the first days of classes, we have established a special routine, and we still adhere to it. I work from home and pick up my son from kindergarten at 17:30-18:00. In good weather, he rides a bike in the park or plays on the playground for about an hour. And in a bad time, we immediately go home.
At home, the first thing I do is offer my son to work out, sometimes he asks himself. This is the most productive time: the child has not yet become interested in games, has just taken a walk, is full and does not want to sleep. If my son doesn’t want to, I don’t insist, and he goes to play or persuades me to read a fairy tale. But usually during the evening he still asks to do a couple of tasks with him.
Now my son has grown up, he thinks quickly, and his hand is more or less developed, so he completes tasks fairly quickly. Every weekday we study for 20-40 minutes. Although there are days when both are not in the mood and we don’t study at all. And when we start a new notebook, the son, on the contrary, can sit with it for an hour: the new is always interesting.
At first we didn’t study on weekends, but after a couple of months my son started asking for notebooks on Saturday and Sunday. And sometimes twice: in the morning I did, for example, mathematics, and in the evening I cut something out.
Educational notebooks are not my son’s only entertainment. On weekends, cartoons still “work” for us: I don’t think that they should be completely banned. Through them, the child also learns the world, and all his friends from the kindergarten watch cartoons – I want my son to have a common cultural field with them.

I also read to him a lot, we play walkers and games like “Find a Mate”. And of course, he has a whole load of ordinary toys that he plays with his younger brother for hours. My son also has enough physical activity: we have a trampoline, a sports corner, a football goal, a basketball hoop and a ball with horns at home. Perhaps that is why notebooks do not bother him: they are only a small part of the numerous entertainments.
Next, I’ll tell you about the pros and cons of the notebooks we used.
How we studied with Kumon notebooks
About the series. The technique was invented by the Japanese mathematician Toru Kumon in 1954. I already mentioned that it is based on repetition: the child does the same thing over and over again with a little complication. For example, he draws lines, paints, cuts out, glues, goes through mazes or counts. As a result, the skill is brought to automatism.
Notebooks are published in 50 countries, and in Russia they are published by the Mif publishing house.

There are a lot of Kumon notebooks – even this scheme is incomplete. Source: mann-ivanov-ferber.ru At first, I was so fond of Kumon notebooks that I bought them in packs and advised my friends on Instagram
Do I need a parent. The tasks in each notebook are similar to each other – you can show how to do them once, and then the child will be able to do it himself.
We did this with all notebooks, except for Simple Lines and Logic. In the first one, I helped pick up a pencil, and in the second, I led my son to think and explained what he had not encountered before. For example, in one task in the picture there were scales with camels on the bowls – you had to answer in which direction they would lean. I had to build improvised scales from a ruler and a cylinder so that the child could understand how they work.
We started notebooks for mazes, cutting and crafts together, and then I was distracted by household chores, and my son cut and glued on his own. I only suggested how to bend the parts correctly and praised them for the results.
At the age of three, the son could not figure out how to do this task. I had to explain to him in practice
I also helped with these – I checked if he found all the artist’s mistakes
At the age of three, the son could not figure out how to do this task. I had to explain it to him in practice. I also helped with such ones – I checked if he found all the artist’s mistakes. In the cutting tasks, I explained in which direction to bend the parts
What did you like. My son really fell in love with notebooks where you had to go through mazes, cut out, make crafts and applications. During the evening, he could complete up to 10 such tasks and asked for one notebook every evening until it ran out.
I think the love for labyrinths is just my child’s natural inclination, but the authors of other notebooks really tried. Most crafts had movable elements: a carved athlete squatted, a bear on skis could be blown in the back, and he rode, and a squirrel and a hare could be put on fingers and play a whole performance.
Even the appliqués were unusual: some had to glue refrigerator and microwave doors back in place, and food was hidden behind them. Others formed a whole story, and in the end we glued a book out of them.
In addition, absolutely all Kumon notebooks contained clear instructions for parents, bright illustrations and thick paper.
On the whole, the technique worked, and many skills were really reinforced. For example, before I bought a cutting book, my son never held scissors in his hands. And when we went through it to the end, he easily and accurately cut out even small details for crafts.
But this was only about notebooks, which my son loved. It was boring for my son to color, so even with the help of a thematic notebook, he never learned not to go beyond the borders of the drawing, although he went through it almost to the end.
What I didn’t like. In addition to “Learning to color”, my son was not at all interested in the notebooks “Logic” and “Learning to count. 1-30”. There were too monotonous tasks, and by the middle of the notebook the child was performing them mechanically and did not think. I didn’t see that my son was learning to think logically — a template was simply hammered into his head on how to act. I believe that this technique is more suitable for robots than for children with a lively and inquisitive mind.

How much I spent on a child up to 5 years old
I also thought that Kumon notebooks blocked fantasy. For example, in the first lessons of “Learning to Color” it was necessary to color the animals according to the pattern, and in the last – in any colors. But the small sample was still there, and the son did not want to deviate from it.
Kumon notebooks had other minor flaws. For example, each of them was designed for too large age ranges – this made it difficult to understand whether it was right for my child. Sometimes I made a mistake: “Simple Mazes” for children 2-4 years old, my three-year-old passed in two days, because half of the tasks, in my opinion, were not simple, but primitive. I think that I wasted 310 R on this notebook.
In some places the pages were tightly bound and the notebook would close if you didn’t hold it with your hand. The child was uncomfortable: he already made a lot of effort when he learned to paint or draw lines.
All Kumon notebooks contain certificates and commendations, but I believe that such awards are very conditional and do not reflect true achievements. As a child, I had many friends who even hung certificates for 29th place out of 30 on the wall. But I’m not going to teach this child, so I don’t tell my son that he has earned these certificates, but simply give them to him to play.

Because of all these shortcomings in the Kumon notebooks, I was disappointed. I will buy for my youngest son only those that teach carving and making crafts. Otherwise, I now prefer more fun and interesting Russian series.
I signed some certificates, and my son gave them to his bear. And others he simply pasted over with stickers
How much do notebooks cost. Kumon notebooks are the most expensive of all that we have been using. Now, in November 2021, each costs 400-550 R. A year ago, they were 400-500 R, and only once did I catch a promotion on the publisher’s website in honor of Black Friday. According to it, one notebook cost me 310 R, but I had to order five pieces at once in order not to pay for delivery to the Moscow region.

“Yigryolochka” is a math course for children from 3 to 6 years old, which consists of four parts. It was developed by Russian teacher Lyudmila Peterson and methodologist Elena Kochemasova.
Each part is designed for a specific age starting from 3-4 years. Plus, the “Player” has sequels: two notebooks “One step, two steps” for children aged 5-7 and school textbooks for grades 1-4 – they are usually chosen by schools with in-depth study of mathematics. All this makes up a single concept, which is already about 30 years old.
On the covers of “Toddlers” there are heroes of fairy tales, familiar to a Russian child. Source: labirint.ru
The technique is based on the principle of a layer cake. First, the child masters the basic concepts: big and small, far and close, left and right, inside and outside, similarity and difference, and others. And recognizes geometric shapes: circle, square, triangle, rectangle and oval.
Then the themes-“layers” seem to saturate each other. Let’s say the already familiar topic “Triangle” is taken, but a count of up to five is added to it. So the child consolidates one skill and simultaneously masters another. It seems to me that this is better than ten lessons in a row to hammer triangles, and then ten more separately to learn to count to five.
Another important feature of the Peterson methodology: it is designed for the involvement of an adult – a parent or a teacher.
Does the Ministry of Education approve of Lyudmila Peterson’s methodology?
Vladimir Dvorkin
math teacher
The rumor that the Ministry of Education does not like Peterson’s methodology is no longer grounded. In 2014, Peterson’s elementary school textbooks were indeed not included in the list, but since 2018, questions to them have disappeared. Without touching on the rather vague claims regarding the lack of patriotism of the textbook, it can definitely be noted that the experts could be confused by its unconventional, inverted structure, the calculation for the work of an experienced teacher who is deeply versed in the system and the understanding of the unusual system by parents. Now the wording in the textbook has changed – the once sensational problem that parents cannot explain to the child what is required of him in the task has probably become less relevant.
Assignment for first grade in 2012 edition and the same in 2019 edition
It is quite common to hear complaints that these textbooks are difficult for children to learn, but it is not clear why learning should be easy. Learning as such involves overcoming difficulties and making mistakes. If it is very easy for you, it means that you are not learning, but already know how. In one of her interviews, Lyudmila Peterson says quite a lot about the fact that the problem is not at all in the difficulties that children have in solving problems, but in how adults work with these difficulties.
The younger the children, the more meaningless it is to distinguish between capable and incapable of mathematics. Firstly, because mathematics itself is not yet fully mathematics, but rather a set of means for forming a certain relationship to reality. Secondly, because it is this set of tools that largely determines future mathematical and academic abilities in general. In elementary school and before, any question about a child’s education comes down to what suits or does not suit his parents.
The Peterson method is definitely not suitable for parents who are sure that Soviet education was the best in the world and their children need to be taught the way they were taught themselves. I also do not recommend it to anxious and restless parents: it may be difficult for them to calmly respond to the child’s failures – absolutely normal during training – and translate them into a constructive one.
Of all the notebooks, my heart is given to “Players”. My son also loves them the most: when we finished the first part, he didn’t want to study at all for several days and asked when the second one would be brought.
Need a parent. It is not possible to study qualitatively according to the Peterson method without parents. The fact is that in addition to tasks for the child, “Toddlers” has recommendations for parents – they help prepare the child for the task and immerse him in the context. For example, before a lesson on the topic “Ball”, the authors advise looking at home for objects in the shape of a ball. And before the task, where the Christmas tree is in the picture, remember the child’s favorite holidays. I myself would not have thought of this before.
If you don’t read the recommendations, learning will turn out to be one-sided: the child will study only mathematics. And in the notebooks there are questions about the world around us and famous fairy tales, for example: “Let’s remember how the seasons alternate?”, “What fairy tale is this girl and the bear from? What happened to them there?”

Without recommendations, learning will be superficial. In “Toy games” almost every task comes with additional questions. Let’s say you need to find houses in the picture that are lower than a particular one. And there are questions in the recommendations: “Where is the six-story building on the left? And which one on the right has a five-story building?” So the child at the same time fixes the account and remembers where is right and where is left. Without recommendations, I would not have asked about this.
At first, I didn’t like that the recommendations were made separately, and not printed directly in the notebook next to the assignments. But then I realized that it was convenient: you can hold the recommendations in your hands while the child completes the tasks. Without recommendations, the first task is very simple and not so interesting. And with them he learns about the heroes – an elephant and a fox – answers additional questions and recalls previous topics
What he liked. My son likes that the tasks in each lesson are united by a common fairy tale story. And the heroes are not abstract kittens and bunnies, but familiar ones from fairy tales: three bears, seven kids, Little Red Riding Hood, Winnie the Pooh and many others. The child helps them with pleasure.
He is interested that there are different tasks in the lesson, not the same type. You need to continue color series, find extra objects, distribute pictures according to a common feature, count, draw and glue. As a result, by the end of the lesson, the tasks do not have time to bother him.
It is important for me that most of the tasks in “Toy games” do not impose a template, but teach you to think outside the box. My favorite exercises are built on the following principle: the child is asked to select one extra item in a group, but there is a catch in the task – each of the items can be considered superfluous according to one of the parameters. The point is for the child to find all the options. At first, when the son managed to do this, he giggled merrily, stood on a chair and shouted “Hurrah. ”
I also like tasks where the child has to compare several properties of objects at once: color, shape and size. For example, when you need to put large and red apples on one plate, and small and green ones on the other.
I remember when I was testing before the first class, I couldn’t do a similar task. And my son would have coped with it. I myself read this task three times before mentally dividing it into parts and understanding what needs to be done Personally, I considered this task difficult for a child of four years. But the son unexpectedly coped with it
Of course, at first it was difficult for my son to study the “Toy Game”, and I thought that it would not work for him at all. Even I had to strain my brains. But over time, the son learned to look at objects from different points of view, and he liked the notebooks. Often after one lesson he asked for more, and I did not refuse. Now he does one lesson from the second part, for 4-5 years old, without prompts in 20 minutes.
What I didn’t like. It was impossible to study “The Toy Game” as soon as I bought it. A mini-book with methodological recommendations was sewn into the middle of the notebook, and the pages with tasks had to be cut and given out one at a time so that the child would not be tempted to abandon a difficult task and do something simpler from the next lesson. I had to prick my fingers and pull out the paper clips, separate the sheets, cut them, and then fasten the recommendations again.
But the worst thing was that the first part contained two sheets with small geometric figures. They had to be cut out and given to the child to glue them. I spent forty minutes on this and in the end I was terribly furious. I don’t understand why it was impossible to make ordinary stickers.

I also understand that the book prepares for an in-depth study of mathematics. But the topics “Cone”, “Prism”, “Pyramid” and “Cylinder”, in my opinion, are superfluous for a four-year-old child: even at school, three-dimensional figures are held in high school. Although my son liked it – now he is looking for cylinders and pyramids everywhere in the house. But I think that without constant consolidation, he will soon forget these terms.
Perhaps I underestimate the mind of a child, but it seems to me that a four-year-old child can do without these topics.
How much do notebooks cost. “Players” are relatively cheap: for the first part for 3-4 years old I gave 153 R on Ozone. And the second, for 4-5 years old, I bought on Wildberry for 193 R. Manuals for parents are sewn into all notebooks.
There are 32 lessons in each “Player” – we go through one at a time, but not every day. Therefore, it is difficult for me to say how long such a notebook can last. We completed the first part in a month and a half, and we will probably stretch the second part for six months.
There are a lot of rave reviews about “Toddlers”, but there are some. I understand what this mother is writing about, but she herself does not mind uploading her and her child’s brain. Source: labirint.ru
How we studied using Smart Books
About the series. “Smart Books” is a series of notebooks for children from 1 to 6 years old. It was invented by the teacher Olga Zemtsova, and it is also approved by the Federal State Educational Standard.
“Smart books” do not focus on one area like mathematics or drawing – there are tasks for the development of speech, and for attention, thinking, counting and writing. Also in the series are notebooks with tests that allow you to check whether the child’s knowledge meets age standards.
The notebooks are very colorful, but you need to choose carefully. For example, in “Developmental tests” and “Gramoteika” there were similar tasks – you could buy only one of these notebooks
Do you need a parent. You cannot give such a notebook to a child and go about his business: you need to read tasks to him and help him do them. For example, my son and I discuss how the pictures differ, or I close the drawings with my hand and ask what was shown there.
What did you like. Each lesson consists of 4 pages and 5-7 tasks – there are about 40 in total. As in the “Toys”, they are united by a common theme, but not fairy tales, but, for example, marine life, cars, professions, weather phenomena or toys. At first, the son did not notice this, but now it helps him to see the boundaries of the lesson and stop in time. Once he even said: “I’m not tired yet, but I’ll finish the last assignment about the sea, and I’ll do the others tomorrow.”
The tasks in the “Gramoteika” and “Tests” are even more diverse than in Peterson’s notebooks. Some of them are also related to mathematics and are similar to those in “Toy games”: you need to count objects, evaluate what is far and what is close, divide objects into groups or equally. The remaining tasks help develop graphic skills, develop speech, attention and thinking of the child. For example, in them you need to connect hedgehogs and apples with lines, circle the drawings along the dotted line and draw pictures. Almost the same thing was in the “Simple Lines” notebook from “Kumon” – for the younger one, I will take the “Gramoteka” instead.
In other tasks, the son invents funny stories from a picture, solves riddles or remembers what animals live in the north and south. Or he thinks about what came first and what then: an egg or an egg, an apple or a core.
I like that the tasks for the development of speech and drawing go one after another, and are not repeated: because of this activity, the son does not get bored In the “Gramoteka”, as well as in the “Toy”, familiar characters come across
Monotonous tasks only in books ” Remember the picture, Spot the Differences, and Brain Challenges. But they are short, 16 pages each – we devoted two evenings to each and forgot. In addition, they are 13 times cheaper than Kumon notebooks: I already mentioned that they cost 400-550 R, and the whole set of these three books cost me 116 R, that is, each cost about 38 R.
What I didn’t like. I lacked detailed recommendations for parents: they are formulated in just a couple of sentences at the bottom of the page, so I came up with the plot of the lesson myself on the go.
It also seems to me that some tasks are not age appropriate. We did not have notebooks for 1-2 and 2-3 years, but I saw a photo of the pages in the reviews on the Labyrinth. None of my sons would have done this in a year or two.
A “Gramoteika” for 3-4 years old fit my son only at the age of four. Moreover, we missed the tasks for addition and reading – I’m just now starting to teach him arithmetic, and we won’t take on the primer in the coming year at all. Although I do not rule out that there are children who already add, subtract and write letters at the age of three.
I think my son will complete this task at the age of five or six. Just like this one. Although they are in the “Tests” for 3-4 years old
How much do notebooks cost. “Smart books” are inexpensive, as well as “Player”: in total I spent 415 rubles on these notebooks. And I also bought “Developmental tests” for 133 R, “Gramoteka” for 4-5 years for 166 R and a set of thin books “Remember the picture”, “Spot the differences” and “Problems for the mind” – for 116 R.
How we did with IQ
About the series. IQ notebooks are not designed for learning, but for entertainment, and I don’t see any methodology there. These are just collections of fun tasks for logic, coloring and speech development. They are similar to the exercises in Smart Books, only they are smaller and simpler.
These are IQ notebooks. They look frivolous, but just right for a baby
Do you need a parent. The child can do most of the tasks himself. In notebooks, it is intuitively clear where you just need to color the animal, and where to continue the ornament. Only sometimes I read a condition to a child, help to come up with a story from a picture, or look for differences with him.
If my son asks to work on IQ, I exhale: while he is busy, I can work, do household chores or play with my youngest son.
I recently got sick and couldn’t get out of bed. My son did these tasks himself, and I rested. She just explained what needs to be done in the first
What we liked. As in Smart Books, different tasks alternate in IQ. But each notebook has a narrow focus: for example, in “Friendly Kids” you need to color a lot, and in “Who looks like me” there are a little more tasks for logic and speech development. As a result, I give them out for a specific request: if I want to draw, I give one, if I want to invent stories, I give another.
But “Letterfoot” and “Kotovasia” are designed for children who learn letters – I will give them to my son when we start the primer. I think they will be great helpers.
There are also heroes in IQ notebooks who combine all tasks. These are not fairy tale characters, but they also quickly become familiar and familiar. For example, the son is happy to help the little squirrel Shustrik and the bunny Ushastik in the notebook “Friendly Babies”.
I did not find any drawbacks of in IQ – for their money they are quite good.
How much do notebooks cost. These are the cheapest notebooks we’ve tried. For a set of four, I gave only 217 R to Wildberry. They were called “Letterfoot”, “Kotovasia”, “Who Looks Like Me” and “Friendly Babies” – each had 48 separate mini-tasks.
What my son learned in a year
Now my son is four years old. He cuts well, glues and holds the pencil correctly. It also seems to me that he shows aptitude for mathematics, because he easily and quickly copes with tasks in “Toy games”. If not for the notebooks, I would hardly have discovered them, but now I can develop them.
My son’s mindfulness and memory have been trained. We did many tasks where you need to look at a picture and then answer questions about it. At first he didn’t succeed, but now he never makes a mistake. He also did not know how to invent stories from a picture, but now he easily fantasizes.
Of course, all this is not only due to my studies. The son moved from the nursery to the younger group of the kindergarten, and the teachers there do a lot of work with the children. But now it is easy for the son, and the teacher says that he feels confident.
However, I will not hide the fact that my son still does not like to draw and color. It does this only if there is a task for logic – to color the picture by numbers or continue the color range. But I think this is also enough.
What I understood about educational notebooks
There is always a chance to throw money away. Notebooks are very individual. My son did not get the Kumon notebooks for logic and counting, although there are a lot of good reviews about them. And somehow I advertised the “Game Game” to a friend, but her daughter did not study it. In general, you don’t know in advance what your child will like – all that remains is to try.
You need to join the classes. This is the most annoying thing for parents who want to relax after work. It’s easier for me: I work from home and at least I don’t waste time commuting from the office. After work, I follow my son to the kindergarten, and the evening is ours.
But no one canceled household chores. At first, I devoted evenings to my son, and then until one in the morning I washed dishes or floors. The problem was solved by a robot vacuum cleaner and a dishwasher. When we bought them, I had about an hour a day freed up – just enough to work with the child.
Classes are for the patient. I am a perfectionist, and it hurts to look at crooked and pale lines, and especially to quit in the middle when my son says he is tired. But I cope with myself, praise and answer: “When you want, then you can finish it. ”
When we first started, my patience often ran out. Then I asked my husband to change me – my son received the support of an adult in the resource, and in the end he succeeded.
Classes should please both. And not only in general, but also within the framework of one evening. I don’t work with my son if he doesn’t want to or if I myself don’t have the strength. And once in the spring in the evenings the weather was so amazing that we didn’t study for two weeks, but walked all the time in the park. But then, when the weather turned bad, the son missed his notebooks, and the classes brought even more joy.
50 great games for kids and adults to use on a long journey
A trip to another city is not complete without minutes of waiting. Traveling by train, bus or waiting for a plane is the perfect time to bring your team together and make the most of your time. We have made an extensive selection of children’s games on the road. With the help of this cheat sheet, you will always know what to do with the creative team while waiting.
1. Hat or Cap
You will need paper, pens, something like a hat (a bag, for example, is also suitable), a phone with a stopwatch.
This is a game for all time, moreover – it is the base: most games are built on its basis. All participants come up with and write on pieces of paper 10-20-30 (depending on how much time and effort you have) words. Then the players are divided into teams of 2-3 people. The game is played in several rounds. A round is considered to be a round when in all teams, in turn, one player explained, the second guessed, and vice versa.
We pinpoint 30 seconds. The explainer pulls a piece of paper out of the cap and explains the word to the guesser in words without using single-root ones. If you guessed correctly – the word is placed on the table – we count a point! If he cannot guess, he is allowed to pull out another piece of paper (but only one!) And try to guess one more word. If this word is not guessed, then it remains only to choose a new explanation strategy and return to the first unguessed word. After 30 seconds, the team counts the guessed words, and the result is recorded in the calculation table.
The team with the most points at the end of all rounds wins.
Tip: is usually only written as nouns, but you can make the rules more complicated, especially if you play Hat a lot.

2. Associations
You will only need to sit comfortably.
We are located as close to each other as possible. The leader makes a word to the one who sits closest to him. The next one should instantly say the association to him to his neighbor. And so on in a chain so that the word comes back. In the end, unusual metamorphoses occur with the first hidden word: black becomes green, huge becomes surprisingly small, etc.
Tip: If the game gets boring, start making associations to something specific. For example, to books or cartoons.
3. Get to know me
You will need enough space to sit in a circle
The leader is blindfolded, he gets up or sits in the center. The rest are swapped. The host must guess by any part of the body who is in front of him. For example, you can substitute an arm or a leg, a shoulder or even a head. Determine how well your team knows each other.
Tip: then try to recognize each other, for example, by voice (of course, it is allowed to distort voices)
4. Crocodile
You will need enough room for the leader and his wide movements
You have probably played this game before, but if not, then here are the rules. The leader is given a word or phrase (depending on age). He must, without using his voice, show so that one of the guessers understands what it is about. The one who guessed correctly becomes the next leader. And the presenter, who has just shown the word, makes the following task for him.
Tip: can be played as a cap for more interest: write words or take them from applications on your phone and show them for a while in a team.
5. Cucumber
You will need something edible, crunchy and well washed
Yes, adults do not really like this game, but children love it! Everyone stands in a very tight circle, the leader remains in the middle. Someone is holding something edible and very crunchy behind their back. For example, an apple.
The task of the guys is to pass this apple or cucumber in a circle so that the presenter does not notice it (and you shouldn’t drop it, perhaps!). At the same time, periodically you need to bite this object so that the leader does not see it. When the host points to a player, he needs to immediately show his hands: you see, there is nothing in his hands. The leader’s task is to find an apple. The task of the rest is to eat it.
Tip: Wash your fruit or vegetable after all!
6. Pin
You will only need to sit as comfortably as possible and choose a leader.
Children love this game. The host thinks of a word and calls the first letter. For example, he thought of the word “Milk” and calls “M”. The rest should explain to each other (so that the presenter hears and can react, and not all at once) the words starting with the letter “M”. As soon as someone understands the explainer, he says “Contact!” and they both count to 3. If the facilitator also understood, he quickly says this word. I guessed it – let the rest suffer again and come up with a new explanation. He didn’t say anything – on the count of three, the explainer and his partner called the word. You guessed it – the host calls the next letter (in our case, “O”) and now the rest come up with words on “MO” (“sea”, for example, will do). As soon as someone says the leader’s word, he wins, guesses a new word and the game starts again (oh yes, it can be endless).
Tip: Help the process and keep the kids from screaming all together. Still a team game
7.
Danetki
You will need (in some variations of the game) sheets of paper
There are several game options. In some, the host thinks of some complicated, confusing situation. The rest must determine what happened. At the same time, they can only ask questions for “Yes”, “No” or “Doesn’t matter”.
In others, everyone writes on a piece of paper or on a sticky note the name of a famous character, actor, or just a person everyone knows. Everyone exchanges these sheets (regardless) and attaches them, for example, to their foreheads. The task of each is to determine who he is. He asks others questions in a circle, to which they can only answer “Yes”, “No” and “Doesn’t matter”. If the answer is “No”, the next player starts to ask. Of course, you can’t look at the papers.
The option when one thinks of a character, and the rest ask him questions, of course, can also be. Here your imagination is not limited!
Tip: just try to play. Believe me, it’s addictive (we would advise you to take stickers on the road)
8. Fanta
You will need sheets of paper, a pen, and a bag or bag of some kind.
Each player receives several sheets on which he writes different funny tasks or questions. Everyone puts their papers in a common bag and comes up with some kind of complex punishment exercise. For example, do 30 push-ups (yes, it’s better not to do this before the competition).
The first player draws a phantom and reads the task or question. If he cannot answer or do something, he makes a punishment. If it does, the queue moves on to the next one.
Advice: warn children that you are surrounded by people and their games should not offend others.
9. Mafia
You will need cards, a special set for the mafia or, in extreme cases, sheets of paper + pens.
There are also many variations of this game. Its subtleties can be understood endlessly. The only thing that all Mafia fans agree on is that to start the game you need to choose a leader who will support the discussion, as well as distribute cards so that no one sees.
Roles are prepared for each player on the cards. Standard roles: mafia, doctor, commissioner/cop/cop, civilian. Every “night” – the time when everyone closes their eyes, the host calls each role card in turn (of course, except for civilians, because civilians sleep at night). The mafia decides who to kill and shows the host. The doctor decides who to treat. The policeman checks someone and shows to the host. If the doctor hits a victim chosen by the mafia, it remains in the game. If the commissioner gets on the mafia, the presenter gives a thumbs up – guessed it.
The task of the mafia is to get rid of everyone. The task of civilians is to figure out the mafia and save the city. Every “day”, after it was announced who was out of the game, there is a discussion and a vote – who the city considers the mafia. Candidates are chosen by voting. Each candidate is given a persuasive speech. By the final vote, someone is knocked out of the game (those who have already dropped out cannot vote, and candidates cannot vote either). “Night” and “Day” are repeated until some team is the winner.
Tip: When the regular version gets boring, you can look for other variations with more roles.
10. Four on a couch
You will need two benches facing each other (or otherwise allocated seats – on a train, for example, it will be convenient to play on opposite shelves), pieces of paper and pens
There are 8 players in the game, which are divided into two teams. On one bench (it will be a “sofa”) – 4 seats, on the other – 5. On pieces of paper you need to write the names of all the players and distribute them to everyone. Players sit in a checkerboard pattern (there should be rivals to the right and left of the player), one place is left empty. They take papers with names and do not show them to anyone. The one who has one place left on the left randomly calls the name of one of the players. Everyone checks their papers. The one who turned out to have this name is transplanted to an empty seat and changes places with the person who “summoned” him. The next “challenge” is made by the one who has an empty seat on the left. The task of the players is to put their team on the sofa, and leave the opponents on the chair.
Tip: Hint players to watch the movement of names in their hands
11. Compositor
You will need sheets of paper, pens and a good vocabulary
Players for a certain time (no more than 5-10 minutes) are invited to collect as many words as possible using only letters from one long word. Power plant, sloppiness, attraction, quadrilateral, breaking … Find more authentic words and invite the children to play. Words that are not repeated by anyone are valued at 5 points. 1-2 repetitions – 3 points, more repetitions, but not everyone – 2 points, and if everyone has only 1 point. Whoever earns the most points wins.
Advice : play with your parents, they will help expand the children’s vocabulary and explain incomprehensible words.
12. Songbook
You will need to come up with themes for the game in advance
The game is very simple, but will not suit you if you are in a crowded place and do not want to disturb other people (and if you want to shake them – then you are welcome!). You divide the group into several teams and set a topic. Preferably something very simple: friendship, summer, happiness… And they take turns singing fragments of songs where this theme is present. Anyone who cannot come up with and sing a song on a given topic loses.
Tip: can be simplified (or complicated). Remember how the old TV show suggested a word or combination of words? You can try that too. And you can do it like in a hat – cut topics or words in advance or on the spot.
13. Snowball
You will need just to get your group into this rather challenging game
She is very fond of using in camps when meeting. The first player calls his name and, for example, his hobby. It turns out two words. The next one should name everything that has been said before, add his name and his hobby. And so on, until someone makes a mistake. You can learn and remember a lot about each other! Try adding your favorite colors, favorite songs, favorite animals, and other interesting details. When you go to the second round, you can change the subject, for example. Or add something on the first given topic.
Tip: more people – the memory will be stronger!
14. Damaged phone
You will need to sit very comfortably. In a circle or in a line. So that everyone can at least touch each other.
This game, of course, is known to everyone since kindergarten. But for some reason, in a venerable adolescence, they forget about it. But in vain! You just need to make it harder. The first person whispers a word or phrase into his neighbor’s ear (feel free, use something more difficult). The next immediately, without digesting what he heard, passes everything to his neighbor. And so on the chain.
Guess what happens at the end? Certainly not what was “sent!”
Tip: The more people and noisier room you choose, the more fun it will be to play.
15. Words
You will only need to successfully upgrade the game.
The usual word game is, of course, boring. We suggest that you improve it significantly. It will be especially successful if you are going somewhere – by train or bus. The standard of the game is no different: the first person calls the word, the second picks out the last letter and names his own, which begins with it. And further down the chain. We suggest that you carefully look out the window and name only those objects that can be seen.
Advice: Of course, you can be cunning and call words without objective meaning. For example, embracing grandparents to call the word “happiness”. You can’t go wrong, of course.
16. I will take with me…
You will need to play the standard version first to show an example. And, something that will need to be passed – a pen, a bottle, a piece of paper, etc.
This is a game in which the rules are created in the process. Perhaps you know her under the “nicknames” Africa, or the North Pole, or even just the Campaign. There are millions of variations, but the essence is one. There is some rule. At the first stage, several people may know it (usually someone somewhere has already played this game). The first player starts “I’ll take with me on a hike … (say) a watermelon.” Anyone who knows the rule should say if he takes him on a hike. For the first time, the rule is this: if the speaker’s name matches the word that he called, then he is taken on a hike. You can specifically name any absurdity – it is important that others eventually guess.
After the first round, a driver is selected who invents and changes the rule. For example, only those who, when handing over an object, hold it in a certain place, say “Please”, scratch their head or cross their legs, are taken on a hike.
Advice: make up rules for the age of children. Teenagers can already guess quite complex language patterns.
17. Rhymes
You will need , perhaps prepare words for which there are many rhymes.
The game is, of course, very simple. The leader calls the word, and the players in a circle take turns picking up rhymes for him. Who could not pick up – thinks of a new word.
Tip: game is great for developing vocabulary, use unfamiliar words and immediately explain their meaning.
18. I…
You will need, perhaps, to provoke your group into some laughter.
This game is loved to play at night in the camps. Again we sit in a circle or set a queue. But it is desirable that everyone can see each other well. You can’t cover your face with your hands. We say “I” in a circle, preferably so that someone breaks down and laughs. If no one laughs, think about how to cheer people up. As soon as someone bursts with laughter, some funny word is added to him. Now everyone says “I”, and the punished – “I am … (let’s say) great.” As soon as a person is mistaken for the second time, a second word is added to him. The more words, the harder it is to say the phrase without laughing.
It is impossible to lose in this game, because everyone is laughing and everyone is having fun. The main thing is to keep the game in check and not let anyone offend each other.
Tip: you can laugh first – the game will move faster.
19. The sea is rough
You will need enough space and a little imagination
100% everyone played “sea figure” in kindergarten or school. A leader is selected who pronounces a counting rhyme: “The sea worries once, the sea worries two, the sea worries three, the marine figure freezes in place.”
When the countdown ends, everyone should freeze in very “nautical poses”. The leader walks between the figures and must notice who is moving. It can make you laugh, even tickle. Who could not stand it, becomes the new leader.
Tip: try changing the nautical theme. And let the host guess what each participant is showing. Still, the “figures” must be built consciously.
20. Song crocodile
You will need to divide the children into groups and find a suitable space
The facilitator suggests a song to the group, which they must show with the help of pantomime. The remaining groups in the role of guessers. The player of which group guessed the song, that one is sent to the next line to show. And one of those who showed the song well assigns the next task. The meaning of the game is teamwork, so it is perfect even to relax in class.
Advice: regulate the assigners of the task (let it be not the same person).
21. Geometry
You will need enough space and things to blindfold the players
An excellent game for team building, often used in training. It can be carried out as a whole group, or broken into separate teams. You blindfold the players and offer a task. The task is to build a perfectly even figure in your team. For example, a square or a circle.
Watch which method your children choose: whether someone volunteers to be the leader or whether they try to solve the problem together. This is a rather difficult task, but, we are sure, on the stage you have to solve problems that are more difficult, and for participants in choreographic competitions, for example, rebuilding should be very easy in general.
Once the team is ready, everyone opens their eyes and see if the task is done.
Advice: If the children have done the task easily, offer them something more difficult. For example, build a star.
22. Fables
You will need sheets of paper, pens or pencils for each player.
This game is loved by all children (and adults) of all ages. The point is to write a simple and funny story together. At the same time, no one knows how his story will continue. You need to make long vertical leaves of the same length according to the number of players.
In each round, each player does four simple actions: he takes a piece of paper from a neighbor, answers the question asked, wraps his answer so that it is not visible, and passes the piece of paper to another neighbor. Papers are not opened until all questions have been asked.
Questions: Who? With whom? Where? When? What they were doing? Who’s come? What did you say? What did you do? How did it all end?
Write, expand and read. It’s usually a lot of fun!
Tip: add your own questions, for example, in what mood? in what clothes? with what object in hand? etc.
23. Burime
You will need sheets of paper, pens or pencils for each player.
Make long vertical sheets according to the number of players, distribute pens or pencils to everyone. The essence of this type of “fiction” is to make a joint poem.
Consider the example of one piece of paper. The first player writes one phrase. For example, “the priest had a dog.” And passes it on to the next. He writes a rhyme to the first phrase (preferably with the same meaning). For example, “he loved her, did not cry.” Then he wraps both phrases and writes a third – according to the meaning. Something like “but once I did not think.” And he passes it on to the next one, who again writes a rhyme, wraps it up and writes a line below according to the meaning. Thus, a poem is obtained, usually very absurd, which everyone rereads with great joy several times.
Tip: Write under the wrapped, not on it. Otherwise it won’t work. Plus, it is desirable to comply with the size.
24. MPS
You will need to find someone who doesn’t know what “MPS” is.
The host leaves, and you explain to the others what “MPS” (=my right neighbor) is. The task of the presenter, asking any leading questions, is to guess. Players take turns answering and try not to prompt. It’s usually fun for everyone except the host. But when he reaches the goal, he will be very pleased with his beautiful logical mind.
Tip: if the player gets stuck, have them ask the same question around the circle. Let’s be glad that the answers are different.
25. Confusion
You will need to find enough space to play and choose a leader
The host turns away, and the players stand in a circle and hold hands. Then they get entangled in their circle: they pass under the arms, wrap themselves in a ball. As soon as your circle gets confused so that there is nowhere else to go – call the leader, let him think about how to deal with the riddle. Do not allow the players to disengage, and the facilitator needs to ensure that no one is hurt when unraveling.
Tip: try not to break someone’s arm in the heat of a detective mood, be careful!
26. Rhythm and challenge
You will need to line up so that you can change places quickly.
To get started, you need to assign roles. The person sitting in the row is appointed the first “President”, the second “Minister”, the last – “Homeless” (let him not be offended – many will be there). Between them there must be other citizens. After the Minister “Citizen 3”, then “Citizen 4” and so on. The roles will change all the time, so don’t get hung up on them.
The rhythm is set. Usually two hand claps, knee claps. Everyone needs to pick up the rhythm. As soon as the rhythm is picked up, the president begins to “ring”. At the first clap, it is said from whom the “call” was received (in this case, the president names his position), at the second clap – by whom the “call” was received (repeats the position). Then an “outgoing call” is made: on the first clap, your position is called, on the second – who you want to “call”. He must pick up the call “in the form”, answer and send further. Whoever makes a mistake (gets out of rhythm, calls a non-existent subscriber, forgets to say some obligatory component, etc.) – sits in the place of the “homeless person”, the rest “are promoted” up.
Advice: try to change the rhythm, change the transmission speed of calls, change the structure of the call. See how children adjust to new environments.
27. Where am I?
You will only need to choose a leader and possibly paper and a pen.
The leader either leaves or turns away. In the first case, other players choose a mystery place, in the second case, the previous leader writes the place on a piece of paper for the rest to see. Places can be very different: from a simple kitchen to a royal palace.
The facilitator makes his assumptions in the style of “I go there every day”, “I go there to leave my money there”, “When I go there, I take my whole family”, etc. Players must say whether he is right or wrong. When he guesses what this place is, he can try to name it. The leader has only 2 attempts to clearly state where he is. If he didn’t guess correctly after two attempts, he loses.
Tip: Prepare difficult spots ahead of time. For older players, make common suggestions. For example, “you are in the world of the Mario game” or “on the snowy peak of Everest.” Let him try to guess the whole place.
28. Get to know someone else
You will need a large roll of toilet paper (perforated) or a large stack of tissues.
Great game to learn more about each other. You do not announce the rules of the game, you only say that you need to share the whole roll / the whole stack for everyone. Take yourself a significant amount of paper and pass it to the next. Once everyone has divided and everyone has a certain amount of paper, you explain the rules of the game.
Each sheet is one story or one fact about you (it is desirable that those present do not know this). Now everyone in a circle begins to talk about themselves. It’s usually very interesting and takes a lot of time. Whoever runs out of sheets leaves the game, but can continue to listen.
If someone refuses to tell, offer him to perform a “fantasy” for each sheet. The phantom can be any sports punishment from push-ups to squats (in the long run, this is useful).
Advice: if the conversation is not going well, start telling detailed stories, maybe more personal than it was before you.
29.
Killer
You will need cards or prepared papers with marks, a stopwatch.
You need to choose a leader. He deals cards (all red, one black) to all players. The person who received the black card is the killer. The rest of the players need to figure out who the killer is. Immediately make a reservation that you can’t look at the floor, you need to look at each other. It is forbidden to speak, except for the required phrases
“Killer” actions.
The killer must get rid of the rest of the players. He does it with a simple wink. The winked player must count to 5 and say “I’m dead”. After that, he is eliminated from the game, showing his card. After the “recognition”, the presenter marks / counts 20 seconds and says “Time”.
Actions of others.
In addition to keeping a close eye on whether he was killed, the person with the red card must figure out the killer. If he suspects someone, he loudly says “I suspect”. If someone says “Me too”, the facilitator counts (One, two, three). At three, both players show who they suspect. If the directions converge, then the suspect shows the map. If he is not the killer, the game continues; if he is the killer, the game starts again. You can “suspect” no more than once every 30 seconds.
Tip: is usually played in a darkened room, but in such a way that the eyes are clearly visible.
30. Joker
You will need cards and paper with a pen. And also split into teams of 2-3 people.
This is a 100% mindfulness game. Divided into teams, the players discuss their game plan – secret gestures or signs by which they can determine that the partners have a “Joker”.
After that, the players sit down at the table so that the teammates do not sit next to each other, and everyone can see each other. Each is dealt 4 cards, 4 cards face up on the table. Players begin to exchange their cards for those that are on the table (exclusively one at a time). As soon as no one needs the cards lying on the table, they are sent to a separate pile, and new 4 cards are laid out from the remaining cards during the distribution.
Each player tries to collect a “Joker” – 4 cards of the same value. At the same time, he needs to watch the rest of the players, understand in time that the Joker was assembled by one of the partners (they, in turn, send an encrypted message) or from rivals. If you guessed it, shout “Joker” and show who has it.
If you guessed correctly, and your partner has the “Joker”, your team will get 2 points. If you guessed the “Joker” of the opponent, your team will get 3 points. If you make a mistake – your team -1 point.
At any time, you and your partners can go out and discuss your code (preferably, this is not done every round).
Tip: determine how many points you play up to. Otherwise, you will play forever.
31. Hands up
You will need a coin and sit down so that the two teams are on opposite sides of the table.
One team is given a coin, which they begin to pass to each other under the table. The other team cannot peek. At the command of the leader “Hands up”, the team with a coin raises its hands. At the command “Hands down”, everyone lowers their hands with their palms on the table. The one who has a coin in his hands must not give himself away. The opposing team decides who has the coin. If you guessed correctly, they take a coin and get one point. If they didn’t guess, both the coin and the extra point remain with the room that hid the money well.
Tip: both commands should be given unexpectedly so that it is difficult not to panic
32. Drawing on the back
You will need to stand up or sit in a column.
This game is a complicated version of the “broken phone”. The first player “guesses” some thing, situation, animal. His task is to “draw” what is hidden on the partner’s back with his finger. Silently. The partner “draws” what he understood on the back of the next one, and so on through the chain to the end. The latter is trying to understand what was guessed. It will be fun to “unscrew” the chain and ask each player what exactly he “drawn”.
Advice: for older people, it is worth choosing more difficult tasks – “draw” a movie or book. This will develop the imagination and the ability to think in images.
33. Magic hat
You will need any item that looks like a hat. Cap, for example. And a presenter who has music on his phone.
While the music is playing, the hat is passed around. As soon as the music stops, the one with the hat must show some character (this is determined before the start of the round). Batman, Evgeni Plushenko, Spider-Man, Mistress of the beginning of the 19th century – the more diverse, the better. If the “hero” does not look like himself, support the actor with advice. Until it works!
Tip: for kids, you can use cartoon characters and very simple images – mom, one of your friends, teachers.
34. Trainer
You will need to think through the rules for your game round in advance.
One trainer player and one animal player are selected. The trainer has a clear task that the “animal” does not know. For example, he needs to stand on one leg with his arms extended forward and his eyes closed.
There are two ways of communication between them: reward and punishment. Encouragement is when the “animal” does at least something close to the final goal. For example, standing on one leg. An encouragement can be, for example, a raised finger. Punishment – a loud clap of the hands. Punishment follows when the “animal” deviates from the target.
The rest of the players can watch the torment and perhaps give clues.
Tip: Customize the rules and come up with creative challenges. It will be interesting!
35. Find a couple
You will need to pre-make for all players a pair of identical sheets on which one animal is written (preferably quite complex)
Distribute one piece of paper to each participant in the game. The task of the players, without showing anyone their card and without uttering words, is to find their pair. A great way to liberate the company.
Tip: you can make multiple sets of cards to play multiple rounds.
36. Count, do not stray
You will need only to determine the rules of “counting” and sit in a circle
Players need to take turns keeping score. However, some numbers must be excluded on some basis (you need to stipulate it from the very beginning). The universal sign is divisible by three. Toddlers can be asked to exclude all numbers that have the number 4, for example.
The first player starts the count (can start with any number), the second must pick it up. The score must jump over the excluded numbers. Those. in the version where we skip all the numbers with the number 4, it will turn out like this: 13, 15, 16, 17, etc. As soon as the count reaches 30, it goes in the opposite direction.
Whoever makes a mistake is out of the game. In the end, there should be one winner. After that, you can play again or change the rule.
Tip: count fast, don’t let the players calculate their moves and think over what they’ve said.
37. Guess the spelling
You will need just to tune in to the intellectual mood
The driver will guess the word that the rest have guessed. First, everyone in a circle calls words in which there is a first letter. As soon as the driver guessed – words in which there is a second letter and so on.
Then you can move on to a more complex version. The player calls the word and says how many letters from it are in the final word.
Tip: since the task of the players is to confuse the driver, it is worth coming up with as complex words as possible.
38. Antonyms
You will need , perhaps just to prepare a list of compound words with pairs of antonyms in advance.
This is a very simple game that can be played by all ages. The facilitator says a word, for example, “soft” and loudly counts to three. If during this time the players managed to name the antonym, then the point is counted to the team. If not, the leader.
Advice: ask the players alternately difficult words, then simple ones, to change the rhythm of the game.
39. Bull and Cow Tournament
You will need to explain the rules for a long time and give each player a piece of paper and a pen.
We propose to keep players busy for a long time with a tournament in a very gambling intellectual game. They play in pairs. Each of the players comes up with a word from the same number of letters. With the help of test words, they try to guess the word of the opponent. By comparing the test word with the hidden one, the player indicates how many bulls (the same letters in the same place as in the hidden word) and how many cows (the same letters in other places) are in the test word.
For example, the word “BUN” is guessed, and the test word is “CHECK”. In the word “Checker” there are 2 bulls (K-A) and one cow (A, standing second). Gradually, with the help of test words, the player can come to the original word.
And if you make a knockout tournament, the game can be stretched for a long time.
Tip: test words can be longer than the guessed ones.
40. Labyrinth
You will need checked paper and a pen
The game is somewhat similar to Sea Battle. Each player draws a maze with an “entrance” and an exit. Players take turns calling the direction (forward, backward, right, left). The opponent must answer whether he passed or ran into the wall. If he passed, he walks again. If not, the move is given to the opponent.
It is worth deciding in advance on the size of the field (it must be the same for both players). It is forbidden to draw diagonal labyrinths.
Tip: make as many fake moves with dead ends as possible. Gradually, the opponent will be able to pass them all.
41. Mousetrap
You will need enough space.
Two children join hands (make a “mousetrap”) and raise them as high as possible. The rest pass under the arms while the people standing in the mousetrap say: “We are tired of mice, we gnawed everything, we all ate. We will set up a mousetrap and then we will catch mice! On the last words, the “mousetrap” slams shut. Those who hit it stand in a circle. The mice continue to run in the stream. The last one left outside the mousetrap wins.
Tip: you can use music instead of chants.
42. SQUARE
You will need paper and pens or pencils
Another intellectual game on paper, which can be played by the whole company. Each player draws a 5*5 or 6*6 field. Players take turns calling letters. Each player must enter each new letter in one of the boxes in the square. Corrections are prohibited. When the squares are filled, the players proceed to scoring.
How many letters in the words they composed inside the square, so many points are awarded. Words can only be read in horizontal or vertical directions.
Tip: You can make the rules even more difficult by allowing only words read from left to right and top to bottom to be counted.
43. I know five…
You will need (for the original version) ball, for the simplified version – only fantasy.
The old Soviet game of reaction speed, attentiveness and speed of thinking. One player sets the topic: “I know five … countries in Europe.” The other should quickly answer: “England, France, Croatia, Italy, Spain” (for example) and pass the baton on, asking the next one a new riddle, but more difficult. Whoever fails is out of the game.
In the original version, the children passed the ball to each other, which had to be “led” on the floor in a basketball way, while simultaneously answering the question posed.
Tip: set a fast rhythm to make it harder.
44. Favorite color
You will need to be careful and considerate.
The driver says what his favorite color is. All players need to quickly touch an item made in the named color. You can’t touch the same things. If there are no such things nearby, you need to search to the last (limit the territory immediately). Whoever is left without the appropriate thing – does some difficult task. For example, squats or push-ups. And becomes the new leader.
Advice: if you start playing this game, forbid the children to leave the premises.
45. Do as I do
You’ll need to come up with enough complex moves for a fun game.
The driver invites the players to become his mirror. You need to tune in to a good rhythm (as if you were in an aerobics class), let the first movements be fairly simple (raise your hand, wave). Then turn on complex dance combinations. Whoever does not have time to repeat is out of the game (great thing for choreographers, right?)
Whoever is the last to be rewarded can become the new presenter.
Advice : don’t allow something really impossible to be shown, leave the players a chance)
46. Draw
You will need pens and paper
We divide into teams and write words (as in the game “Hat”). Each team gets a minute of time and a piece of paper. One player becomes the explainer, the second becomes the guesser. Draw as many words as possible from the cap! For each word explained (you can’t write at the same time!) The team gets a point. In the next round, they switch roles. You can play multiple rounds.
Tip: don’t forget to count and write down the points and think about making the words in the header more difficult!
47. Unfortunate artists
You will need paper and pen
We divide into teams. One team – 2-3 people. One of them is told a word – a task that the team must draw. The rest of the team does not know the task. They have 1 minute to complete it. The only problem is that each of them can only draw for ten seconds. And again, the two do not know what to draw, but they must understand and adapt. After the time has passed, you need to quickly pass the pen to another.
Players may not discuss the drawing or the plan of the drawing. The rest determine how similar the drawing is to the given one. If it looks like – we put 3 points, if almost – we put 2, if something is completely incomprehensible – we put 1.
Tip: is not a game for points, but for a good laugh. You can also cut the words for “Hat”
48. Lead me
You will need paper, a pen, and something to blindfold.
Another game for those who like to draw and laugh. One player will draw with their eyes closed. The other is to “lead” it without the help of hands. A player with open eyes is given a task – to draw a certain object. He gives clues in which he can give the direction of the pattern, shapes and lines, but not name the object or its parts.
After the “session”, the blindfolded player tries to guess what he himself drew. If you guessed right, the team gets a point, and the pen with the sheet is given to the next in turn.
Tip: For the sake of interest, you can limit the time allotted for the drawing.
49. Sitting buffalo
You will need to blindfold the driver.
The rest of the players try to quickly touch him (make sure that they do not hurt the driver) so as not to be caught. If “water” grabs someone’s hand, he needs to determine who it is. If the player is calculated, he becomes the new driver.
Tip: you can count the touches or determine the places that you can touch (for example, the arm from the hand to the shoulder).
50. Recognize a person by association
You will need to connect in time so that especially touchy players do not quarrel with the rest.
The driver thinks of some person (usually someone from the company). The rest take turns asking him questions: “What color is this person associated with?”, “What melody is this person associated with?”, “What city?” etc. He should answer the first thing that comes to his mind, without trying to hide the answer. When someone has guessed the conceived character, it is his turn to guess.
Tip: is a great game for companies where everyone knows each other very well. And they can learn even better!

Stranger Danger
Flame Paints with Marbles Materials: Yellow and red tempera paint in small cups or bowls; marbles; box lid and manila paper. Let children lay a piece of manila paper in the box lid. Spoon out one to three small blobs of pint on the paper and place one or more marbles in the lid. By tilting the lid slightly the marbles will roll around through the paint and make “flame” designs. Add more spoonfuls of paint if desired to increase the color blending.
Fire Engine Precut circular and rectangular shapes from construction paper. Have the children glue the precut shapes on to a piece of construction paper to resemble a fire truck. They may add yarn or string for the fire hose and use straws to make a ladder.
Fire Painting Using colors associated with fire (red, orange) squirt or draw thick lines on the paper and add a few drops of black paint here and there. Press clear plastic wrap onto the paper and squeegee the paint around. Pull plastic off of the paper using a strong vertical pulling action. (This will cause the paint to look like fire.) When paint is dry have the children glue a black cutout of a house (windows cut out) and/or a black cutout of a fire truck.
What I Want To Be Materials: large white butcher paper, tracing crayon, crayons or paints, scissors Have each child lie on a large piece of butcher paper and outline the body. When complete, have the children “dress” themselves in appropriate attire for what they want to be when they grow up. A firefighter? They will need a red suit, heavy black boots, and a firefighter’s hat. Cut out the life-size pictures and mount them for display.
Fire Fighter Clothing Make fire hats out of red construction paper. Make jackets out of paper bags.
Traffic Lights Make stop and go lights out of shoeboxes. Tape the lid to the bottom of the box. Cover with black construction paper and have children place green, yellow and red circles in correct order on the box. Red circles on top, yellow middle, green on bottom.
Badge Make officer’s badges out of paper, cover with tin foil.
First Aid Collage Materials: First Aid Supplies. Create a collage of first aid supplies using bandages of assorted sizes, gauze, tongue depressors, swabs, and cotton balls.
First Aid Kit Materials: white construction paper, red construction paper, glue, shoebox, rope and first aid items such as band-aids, cotton balls, etc. Cover the shoebox with white paper. Decorate with a red cross out of the red paper. Tape one side of the lid to the box so that it creates a hinge. Add a rope handle. Put cotton balls, band-aids, and whatever else you would find in a doctor bag that the kids could play with.
Safety Walk Walk around the house/school with the kids and count how many safety items they can find. (first aid kit, fire extinguisher, etc.) On the reverse side, you could have the kids point out all the unsafe items (open cupboard doors where someone could bump their heads, toys on the floor where they could trip,etc.)
Dramatic Play Have all the kids wear sweatshirts and place orange felt *flames* on them. Then they demonstrate how to Cover, Stop, Drop, and Roll on the carpet, to put the flames out. (I added *cover*, to teach them to cover their face with their hands while rolling.)(I don’t tell them they have to be on carpet. Heaven forbid they are on fire and running around trying to find carpet to roll on, but it does work better to get the felt off.)
Fire Fighter Equipment If you know a fire fighter, you might let him/her know that you are very interested in fire safety. Let them know that you would be very interested in obtaining some old used equipment (a real hat, a nozzle and short portion of hose, a jacket, etc.) for your drama area.
Firehouse Invite the children to set up a firehouse. Allow the riding toys to be the fire engines, ambulances and the fire chief’s car. Set up a sleeping area, boots with pants can be set up next to the bed. Give the children a bell to sound the alarm and let their imaginations run wild!
Fire Escape Practice Ideas · Pin sheets up around the room, about 2 ft from the floor, and practice crawling, low, under the “smoke. ” · Turn out the lights to practice getting out in the dark.
Hot and Cold I get tiny red and blue dot stickers from an office supply store and bring some things into the daycare for the kids to use with them. We put the red dots on hot things, and blue dots on cold things.
Red Light, Green Light Have the children run around and someone yells out, “red light” and the children have to stop what they are doing until they hear “green light.”
911 For Toddlers For those that don’t yet recognize their numbers, put a red dot sticker on the number nine and a green dot sticker on the number one. They will remember easier in case of emergency press “red, green, green”
911 Practice Have a few phones in the class, and go over with the children what to say when the phone rings and the child answers. Teach them the proper and safe things to do, like: not giving their name, telling the person on the phone where they live, or if they are alone. You can even have each child come up to the phone , as you pretend to ring the phone & be the stranger. This is also a good time to go over dialing 911 in case of an emergency.
Fire Trucks We made graham cracker fire trucks for snack! Use 1 whole (double square) cracker for the body and 1/2 (1 square) for the cab. Use “ritz bitz” for the wheels, pretzel sticks for the ladders, licorice laces for the hoses, and a cherry for the red light. Use frosting for glue!
Stop Signs 8 sided crackers, peanut butter and jelly on the cracker
Yield Signs Triangle crackers and yellow cheese
Fireman Shake Firemen need to be very strong. Prepare a healthy milkshake for your little fire boys and girls. 1 cup strawberries 2 tsp. honey 4 large scoops vanilla ice cream 1 1/2 cups milk In a blender or food processor, puree berries with honey, add ice cream and milk. Pour into glasses and serve.
Energy Chews Materials: measuring spoons, cup, raisins, peanut butter, honey, apple and oatmeal Procedure: Give each child a cup and mix the following together: 1 Tbs. peanut butter, 1/2 tsp. honey, 1 Tbs. raisins, 1 tsp. chopped apple, 1 Tbs. raw oatmeal. Wash hands. Then each child stirs the mixture and rolls it into balls. The mixture may be chilled for a while or eaten immediately. Firefighters need to have high energy.

Fire Safety
Discussions Here’s some info from the United State Fire Administration: Use the following fire safety and prevention information to lead discussions. Control kids’ access to fire: *Keep all matches and lighters out of the hands of children. If possible, keep these sources of fire in locked drawers. Consider buying only “child-proof” lighters — but be aware that no product is completely child-proof. *Children as young as two years old can strike matches and start fires. *Never leave children unattended near operating stoves or burning candles, even for a short time. *Teach children not to pick up matches or lighters they may find. Instead, they should tell an adult immediately. Fire safety at home: *Smoke detectors should be installed on every floor of the home, especially near sleeping areas. *Smoke detectors should be kept clean of dust by regularly vacuuming over and around them. *Replace batteries in smoke detectors at least once a year. And replace the entire unit after ten years of service, or as the manufacturer recommends. *Families should plan and practice two escape routes from each room of their home. *Regularly inspect the home for fire hazards. *If there are adults in the home who smoke, they should use heavy safety ashtrays — and discard ashes and butts in metal, sealed containers or the toilet. *If there is a fireplace in the home, the entire opening should be covered by a heavy safety screen. The chimney should be professionally inspected and cleaned annually.
Warning Signs Kids may be experimenting with fire – if you notice: *Evidence of fire play, such as burnt matches, clothes, paper, toys, etc., or if you smell smoke in hair or clothes. *Inappropriate interest in firefighters and/or fire trucks, such as frequent, improper calls to the fire department or 9-1-1. *Child asks or tries to light cigarettes or candles for you or other adults. *Matches or lighters in their pockets or rooms. Channel Curiosity Turn kids’ interest into safe outcomes: *Talk to your child or students in a calm, assured manner about fire safety. *Consider visiting a fire station if children are very interested in fire fighting and/or fire trucks (call for an appointment first). Have the firefighter talk about his/her job and the dangers of fire. *For parents: Create opportunities for learning about fire safety at home. For example, when you cook, let your child get the pot holder for you; when you use the fireplace, let your child bring you the wood or tools; and if you use candles, let the child check to make sure the candle holder fits snugly. What to do if you suspect your student/child is playing with fire: *Talk to the child about his or her actions. Explain again that fire is a tool for use only by adults, and that it is very dangerous for children. *Many schools and fire departments have programs for children who are inappropriately interested in fire or who have set fires. *Many police stations have programs for children who show signs of becoming juvenile fire setters. NOTE: Visit the United State Fire Administration site and look at the quizzes, parent/teacher guide, lists of available materials to download or order, links to other Fire Safety sites. http://www.usfa.fema.gov/prevention/outreach/children.html
National Fire Prevention Week Ideas · Arrange for a fire truck come to school with an ambulance. · Read stories about fire trucks and fire drills. · We are having a police officer come in to talk about stranger danger. · We are going to learn how to use a seat beat correctly. · We are going to play street sign bingo as the kids will be able to learn about the signs and “read” them)
Bike Safety
Bike Safety Checklist · Take a bike safety course from your local school or community service group. · Use appropriate sized bike since a bike that is too small or big can contribute to loss or control of bike. · Always were safety equipment while riding such as: helmet, knee and elbow pads. · Restrain any loose items such as purse on a bike rack or inside back pack worn on back to prevent items falling and catching in the spokes of a wheel causing bike to flip. · Restrain loose pant bottoms with an elastic band or tucked inside sock to prevent getting caught in bike chain. · Check bike before riding for possible maintenance requirements such as malfunctioning breaks, loose chain or flat tires. · Use bike when traveling near traffic on bike paths or along side of the road going with the flow of traffic. · Observe traffic sign and lights rules. · Be alert to pedestrians. They always have the right of way · Use hand signals to indicate when you plan on turning or stopping to alert vehicles coming behind you. · Always watch where you are going and what is going on behind and around you.

Chemical Safety
Chemical Safety Checklist There are many chemical dangers within the household and daycare setting. The following are ways to keep your families safety in mind. · Store all cleaning products out of reach of children and animals · Store all lawn and gardening pesticides and herbicides out of the reach of children/animals in a well ventilated area. · Store all paint and paint cleaning solutions out of the reach of children and animals. · Store antifreeze away from children and pets since it can taste like cool aide. · Store all batteries out of the reach of children and pets. · Store all windshield wiper fluid out of the reach of children and animals. · When needing to discard a chemical or its container call the number provided on container to determine if there are special procedures to be followed. Keep this in mind for batteries as well as used oil. · If a child ingests a chemical or gets it in their eye or experiences a chemical skin burn call the poison control center to determine what emergency procedures should be taken. · In general a chemical splashed into the eyes can be rinsed out with cool water. But always call poison control before responding to ingestion of a chemical with drinking of water. This may cause a serious reaction with some chemicals. In all cases go to the emergency room for treatment. · Post your local poison control center phone number near each phone in your home and dc. · Alert all families involved of the chemical emergency when help has been contacted. · Follow the instructions for each chemical that is used to help ensure safety including wearing protective gear such as: eye protection, gloves or both within a well ventilated area.
Stranger Danger
Stranger Danger Checklist · A stranger is anyone you don’t know. You can’t tell the good guys from the bad guys by how they look. You are responsible for keeping yourself safe when you’re by yourself. · You are responsible for taking care of yourself. You are not responsible for taking care of grownups. Adults who need help should go to another adult. · Instinct is nature’s way of talking to you – listen to that inner voice. · Have a “password” that is not shared with ANYONE outside your family. When someone, even somebody well known, asks or tells the child that they are to go with them because “Your Mom or Dad said…” ask for the password. DON’T GO unless they know the password.

Stranger Collage Clip magazine pictures of a variety of people. Take photographs of students and staff members — to be photocopied or scanned into a computer and printed. Have children sort the pictures into two groups: “people we know” and “people we don’t know”. Write each of these headings on a separate piece of construction paper. Students glue pictures under appropriate headings.
All About Me cards height, weight, color of hair, eyes, make fingerprint…. write child’s signature….or they can if they know how (Do like on a post card or something like that)
Little Red Riding Hood We use the story of Little Red Riding Hood to help teach stranger danger. We change the story because we have the children act it out. The wolf locks Grannie in the closet. Wolf chases Red around a table. Woodsman hears, enters and chases wolf away. Props: a red hooded cape for Red (made out of a red bathrobe), Grannie: nite-cap and shaw, wolf: wolf-hat (took a wolf bedroom slipper, cut and hot glued onto a baseball cap), woodsman: flannel shirt.

8 online safety games for kids
Kids are accessing the internet younger and younger, so it’s natural for parents to be worried about online safety. One way to approach your child’s online safety is through parental controls – especially parental controls for iPhone and Android devices, such as phones and tablets. It’s also important to teach your child how to stay safe online, even once you remove parental controls. Luckily there are plenty of great fun games out there to help teach your children about online safety.
Why your child should learn about online safety?
Online safety is a vital skill to teach your children. It can help you keep your children safe on mobile phones, computers, tablets or game consoles.
There are certain risks when your children are allowed online. Some of the main issues are:
Inappropriate content – This can include graphic content, horror or gore, which could upset younger children.
Sharing personal details – A lot of personal information can be used for identity theft or to help locate a person, which puts your children at risk.
Stolen passwords – We all use passwords for our accounts, but easily-guessed passwords can let other people access your children’s accounts on websites. It’s also important to use a strong password and change it regularly.
Making purchases from untrustworthy websites – Some websites offer products trying to lure in buyers to steal debit card information.
Cyberbullying – Any online communication opens the risk to cyberbullying, where people bully others online. This can be people that your child knows from school or strangers on the internet.
Phishing – This is when a website copies another website to trick users into inputting their login details.
Teaching your children about online safety is important — it helps to avoid many of the risks that they will face online. Internet use has become common for schoolwork, socialising and playing games. Therefore, it is vital to make sure all children have a good knowledge of safety. Combining safe online practices and other apps, for example, one that lets you monitor your kids phone use, you can support your children in acting safely online.

It’s important to educate children about online safety: content, scams, and the people who inhabit it. What better way to do that then through games? Here are six of the best.

Today’s children are growing up in a digital age, exposing them to all the wonders and dangers that the internet brings. It’s important to educate children about online safety: content, scams, and the people who inhabit it. What better way to do that then through games?
Many children love video games and parents should know about them too. We’re going to detail some free games that educate children on the modern dangers of being online, while letting them have some fun at the same time too.
Trust Google to go all out when it comes to building awesome online experiences. Interland is part of Google’s Be Internet Awesome Program, which has lots of great resources for parents and teachers to educate children about internet safety.
This game lets children play as a little robotic Internaut, learning all about cyberbullying, phishing, data protection, and more. This is taught through a variety of mini-games that are spread out across floating islands.
The educational content of this game is great, but kids are sure to love it because of its high production values and genuinely fun games. They might not even realize they’re learning while having fun.
With a fun superhero theme, the aim of Cyber Defense Quiz is to answer as many questions as possible in order to unlock the colorful cast of superheroes and villains.
The quiz teaches children about a range of safety topics, like email attachments, password strength, cyber crime, and much more.
While the questions on offer are great, it’s best to play this alongside your children. That’s because it doesn’t explain why an answer is wrong, so it’s helpful if an adult can be on hand to help explain.
Once this quiz has been exhausted, there are more games featuring similar characters at The Carnegie Cyber Academy.
Who knew that cyber criminals shopped at Spymart? This game’s fun concept has children answering quiz questions in order to take down a cyber criminal. For each question answered correctly, players can remove a dangerous gadget from the criminal’s suitcase.
The main theme of this multiple-choice quiz is protecting against online theft. That involves practices like using strong passwords, knowing who you’re talking to, and keeping software like antivirus scanners up to date. Between the questions there’s a simple dexterity challenge—click the criminal’s face as it moves between the screens in order to answer the next question.
This one has some fun music and a simple cartoon style. Children are sure to enjoy the spy themes and giggle at the silly James Bond-style gadgets in the suitcase. At the same time, it’s also great at teaching about protecting personal information.
Internet safety aside, Band Runner is a fun game in its own right. Children choose to play as Ellie or Sam and must time their jumps correctly to help them avoid obstacles. They can also use their guitars to help demolish the blockers—Ellie and Sam are on their way to a gig, after all!
If an obstacle isn’t cleared, Ellie or Sam will trip and fall. Children must then answer a 50/50 question before they can continue, like whether it’s safe to share videos or tell someone your age.
The game speeds up after each level, which offers an exciting challenge that is sure to hook children who want to reach the end. All the time they play, they’re learning about internet safety.
Everyone knows how to play Hangman! This version of the classic game aims to teach children about how to talk to others online and what sort of information you shouldn’t share online.
With only ten questions, you can complete it fairly quickly. In addition to teaching best practices, like not telling someone your age, this quiz goes the extra mile and also defines terms like “link” and “chatting”.
Children can keep going until they reach 100 percent, or until the hangman is complete due to incorrect guesses. It’s a simple game, but one that’s worth a quick try as a refresher to some key tips for internet safety.
It’s important for children to know how to protect their personal information online and Privacy Pirates is a great game to help teach them. The aim is to put together a map that will eventually lead to some pirate treasure.
Brought to life with fun cartoon graphics and voice-overs, this game uses quiz questions to help children understand the value of their privacy and how context can impact what information should be shared.
If players get stuck, a guide is always on hand to point in the right direction—and even if they get a question wrong, the game is more interested in educating than penalizing.
Cyber-Five is a fun and colorful animation that revolves around Hippo and Hedgehog, two friends who are learning about the golden rules of internet safety.
After watching, children can then take a quiz or a test—the questions are the same, but the former allows for multiple attempts at getting the answer right. The questions revolve around what one should do in certain situations, like if someone asks for your password or sends a mean message.
If you’re short on time, this animation and game are a quick and enjoyable way to teach the basics of internet safety.

Online gaming is an activity that is on the rise in developed countries. Games are not exclusively for children in the modern era as the number of adults gaming is as high as it has ever been. However, this does not mean that the targeting of games towards children has stopped.
Millions of children across the globe engage in online gaming. While this is a fun activity for kids, it does have its dangers, especially for young users. Thus, parents need to inform the children about these dangers and teach them how they can stay safe. It is impossible to keep an eye on your child at all times. Hence, developing the decision-making abilities of kids is essential to keep them safe.
Despite the focus on allowing the child to take responsibilities, it is also vital to implement features or boundaries at home that will promote safety. Safety games for kids can provide experience of using the internet and raise the awareness of security among the kids.
While online games and other games can provide kids with information about safety, other non-screen based activities can be carried out by kids at home. These activities are fun, and they allow the kids to learn basic safety guidelines such as traffic signs and emergency numbers they can call when they are in of assistance.
Physical Activity
#1: Stop, Drop, and Roll
This is one physical activity that the kids will enjoy as it can be carried out by multiple kids. The purpose of this activity is that it allows parents to introduce a fire safety activity. This teaches the children how to react safely in the event of a fire.
#2: Sidewalk Safety Game
The teacher can introduce this game at school, and kids can easily play at home. The focus of the game is to introduce the concept of safety in the everyday life of the child. To play the game all that is needed is some colored chalk to draw on the sidewalk or some cones. Kids can draw danger signs and other symbols to avoid in hopscotch squares.
Parents can also incorporate bike safety lessons for kids by putting out cones on the sidewalk. These can be used to teach kids how to safely maneuver and turn on their bikes and also the dangers of road traffic.
This means that the child can remain safe even when under minimal supervision as they learn the basics of safety. To make the game enjoyable, the kids can be given certificates as their prize.
Safety Board Games and Puzzles
#1: Jett’s Crossword Puzzle
While the U.S. Fire Administration offers puzzles about safety at home, there are plenty of other safety crossword puzzles available. The crossword puzzles aim to test the comprehension of the child as it relates to safety at home. There are different puzzles that include safety as it pertains to traffic lights and other scenarios.
#2: An A-Maze-ing Escape
This game will allow the kids to practice various scenarios in printed versions. The puzzles can be printed, and it also involves multi-choice questions. These games can also be jigsaw puzzles as they are aimed at ensuring the kids do succeed in learning the basic safety rules. Advantages of such board games are that they allow the parents to evaluate what the kids do not know about safety.
Internet Safety Games
While online gaming provides plenty of options for children to learn about safety, the parents need to be mindful about the games that the kids are playing. The parents need to check the rating of the games to determine whether the games are suitable for the children.
Safety awareness games are available where children can play in their own time. While these games are fun and engaging, children knowingly learn the tips to ensure that they can play safely and also walk safely.
Caution about internet safety games: While online safety games aim to teach children about the safety guidelines, it does expose the child to many threats. Thus, it is important to play with the child, especially when they are young, and this allows the parent to monitor the interactions with other players.
The child should also be taught to only engage with individuals that you both know. To ensure that the child follows the rules, it is crucial to have conversations which are targeted towards internet safety as it pertains to gaming. Scheduling is yet another critical aspect of implementing safety games for kids as it prevents gaming addiction which is evident in older children who are miserable with time management.
Adding Safety in Pretend Play
Safety is a point of focus that can be added to the kid’s pretend play. Pretend play can cover a host of scenarios such as a hospital or fire station. Kids just love dressing up in construction site safety gear too.
These safety games create an opportunity to introduce the child to safety guidelines associated with each of the scenarios. The parent should monitor the play of the children and guide them on the safety features that they are executing wrongly or some they do not know. Pretend play is a spontaneous game that can happen at home or at school. Hence, the repeated nature of the game allows the child to gain a fundamental understanding of the safety features.
Safety Activity Books
Such books are great for creating safety awareness among kids since they involve engaging activities. Follow this link to download a free copy of the great safety activity at home book from Safekids.org.
The introduction of the books ensures that the learning of safety rules is a continuous process that does not end with physical games. Books can be intriguing for indoor kids as they do have plenty of tips that the child can learn. Discussing with the child about the books ensures that you can evaluate the progress that they have made.
The Bottom Line!
Safety awareness games for kids are an incredible way in which way children can learn how to be responsible. While these games are important, parents and teachers have a role in ensuring that the learning process of the child is successful. Internet safety games require the supervision of the adults who can guide the kids through the execution of the games. The purpose of the monitoring is to ensure that the kids are not exposed to the multiple dangers that exist in the online platform. It is through conversation that the parents can protect the children without making them panic.

18 Safety Activities for Preschoolers and Kindergarteners
Share
Email
On a daily basis, parents and teachers remind young children about the best procedures for ensuring their health and safety, modelling those same strategies on a continuing basis as reinforcement.
“Staying safe” relates to all facets of children’s lives: playing outdoors, spending time inside, travelling, staying home, attending school, going anywhere in public, and dealing with other people.
How Do You Teach Preschoolers about Safety?
Safety activity ideas fit naturally into the course of a day, as adults play, work, travel, cook and explore with kids.
Look for opportunities to remind children and explain to them how to stay safe. Model wise safety practices at all times.
Teaching preschoolers about safety can be accomplished through fun and non-scary methods that inspire confidence and not fear.
Here are some ideas for safety activities for 3 to 6-year-olds that will help them understand the concept.
Road Safety Activities
Although pedestrian safety is the main focus for children, sharing with them the various things adults look for while driving is also informative and helpful. These rules help kids understand how to be careful and safe while walking around vehicles.
Here are some road safety activities for preschoolers, to teach them about the signs and colours of safety.
Learn the Traffic Light Colours
Teach the three main traffic colours: red, green and yellow. Share a book like Red Light, Green Light, written by Yumi Heo (Watch the reading here).
Make Traffic Lights
Children can then make their own traffic lights! Trace and cut out circles of each colour, gluing them to poster board or large construction paper as an arts and crafts project.
Make Traffic Signs
Based on examples from the book, kids could also make various types of traffic signs with paper, paints and markers: stop signs, railroad crossings and one-way arrows.
Indoor Play
For indoor practice, use various toy building materials to design play streets on the floor.
Children push toy cars and trucks along the roadways, obeying the various crafted traffic signals along the way.
Outdoor Play
Outside, children “drive” bikes, trikes and scooters along marked “roadways,” obeying traffic signs they have crafted.
Home Safety Activities
Many accidents happen right around the house or in classrooms. Clear reminders and following some simple rules often help to avoid those mishaps.
Try these home safety activities for preschoolers.
A Story About Safety
How Do Dinosaurs Stay Safe? by Jane Yolen is a fun way to get kids thinking and talking about their personal safety around the house (watch the reading here).
Discuss, possibly asking if they have ever gotten hurt around the house and how that situation could have been avoided.
Brainstorm Safety Rules
Urge children to brainstorm a list of the top 3-10 rules for safety around the house or classroom. Write them on chart paper or a poster board as they are shared.
Fire Safety Activities
Fire can be a scary topic for many kids, so learning about prevention and what to do in case of fire are topics meant to reassure them and offer a sense of control over the situation.
Check out the following fire safety activities for preschoolers.
Stop, Drop, & Roll
Stop Drop and Roll by Margery Cuyler tackles the issue of kids’ worries about fire in an amusing fashion (watch the reading here).
At the end of Fire Prevention Week, the main character, little Jessica, is a much more confident and well-informed child.
After sharing the book, kids can practise the “stop, drop, and roll” strategy.
Make Illustrations
On large sheets of paper, kids design illustrated posters showing how to “stop, drop, and roll” or other fire prevention measures, such as not playing with matches or lighters.
Stranger Danger Activities
Although you want to avoid making children too fearful of unfamiliar people, you do want them to be cautious and not overly trusting even if a stranger is friendly or looks nice.
Here are several “stranger danger” activities for preschoolers.
Stories about Strangers
Share picture books appropriate for your child’s age and maturity level.
Never Talk to Strangersby Irma Joyce is a good example for the youngest kids, while one like The Berenstain Bears Learn about Strangers, by Stan and Jan Berenstain, is good for older preschoolers or kindergarteners.
Dramatic Play
Pretend play works well with this topic. Use dress-up clothes and props to guide kids in setting up scenarios that could happen with strangers.
Urge them to act out the safe way to react in these instances.
Body Safety Activities
In the home, always use the appropriate words for body parts. In a school setting, you can easily remind children that the “private parts” of their bodies are those covered by swimsuits.
Try the following body safety activities for preschoolers.
Body Safety Book
Read children the rhyming picture book, My Body Belongs to Me, written by Jill Starishevsky. Also discuss how healthy and unhealthy secrets are different.
On a large sheet of paper or poster board, draw a large hand. Ask children to think of 5 people they can tell if someone touches them in an inappropriate way. Write one on each finger of the hand and post.
Body Image Picture
Ask each child to lie down on a large expanse of plain, unrolled paper and trace around their body. With markers and crayons, kids then add their facial features and clothing.
Help them cut these out if they need assistance. Post the figures as a way to reinforce positive body image.
Water Safety Activities
Playing in the water on a warm day can be so much fun, but children must be taught to do so only with a trusted adult.
Dive into these water safety activities for preschoolers.
Water Safety Books
Share Josh the Baby Otter (Blake Collingsworth) and/or Stewie the Duck Learns to Swim(Kim and Stew Leonard, Jr.).
Rules for Water Safety
Compile a list of safety rules for playing near or in the water. Write the children’s ideas on chart paper or poster board.
Atomic Current
Even young children who know how to swim should stay close to trusted adults in large bodies of water because of strong currents.
In water that is thigh-deep, have children line up and space out an arm’s length apart. Urge them to walk in a circle, going faster and faster, trying to run.
Call out, “Stop,” for them to halt and try to immediately turn around and go in the other direction. They can discover how difficult this is in the current they created!
Safety from Bullies Activities
Unfortunately, bullying can start with very young children. Explore the following activities aimed at safety from bullies.
Read
Fill a Bucket
The first defence and proactive way to avoid bullying is to teach empathy and kindness.
Share Fill a Bucket: A Guide to Daily Happiness for Young Children, a picture book by Carol McCloud.
Visit the author’s website – Bucket Fillers – for links to a variety of activities, such as music and the author reading her books. (Another version of the book is available for older children.)
Read Bootsie Barker Bites
Read Bootsie Barker Bites by Barbara Bottner. Make copies of the book pages, possibly enlarged.
During the second read-through, on each page where Bootsie does something mean, urge children to brainstorm ideas of what the main character could have said or done to help the situation.
Write those ideas on the pages to help the children remember the strategies.
While teaching and modelling safety, avoid inhibiting children’s natural curiosity and growing independence.
Be ready to answer all their questions about “why” things need to be done a certain way to stay safe. And remain on the lookout for those preschoolers who test the boundaries!

Online Safety (for Parents) – Nemours KidsHealth
The Internet can be wonderful for kids. They can use it to research school reports, communicate with teachers and other kids, and play interactive games.
But online access also comes with risks, like inappropriate content, cyberbullying, and online predators. Using social media apps and websites where kids interact, predators may pose as a child or teen looking to make a new friend. They might prod the child to exchange personal information, such as address and phone number, or encourage kids to call them, seeing their phone number via caller ID.
Parents should be aware of what their kids see and hear online, who they meet, and what they share about themselves. Talk with your kids, use tools to protect them, and keep an eye on their activities.
Internet Safety Laws
A federal law, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) helps protect kids younger than 13 when they’re online. It’s designed to keep anyone from getting a child’s personal information without a parent knowing about it and agreeing to it first.
COPPA requires websites to explain their privacy policies and get parental consent before collecting or using a child’s personal information, such as a name, address, phone number, or Social Security number. The law also prohibits a site from requiring a child to provide more personal information than necessary to play a game or enter a contest.
Online Protection Tools
Online tools let you control your kids’ access to adult material and help protect them from Internet predators. Many Internet service providers (ISPs) provide parent-control options. You can also get software that helps block access to sites and restricts personal information from being sent online. Other programs can monitor and track online activity.
Getting Involved in Kids’ Online Activities
More important than blocking objectionable material is teaching your kids safe and responsible online behavior, and keeping an eye on their Internet use.
Basic guidelines to share with your kids for safe online use:
Follow the family rules, and those set by the Internet service provider.
Never post or trade personal pictures.
Never reveal personal information, such as address, phone number, or school name or location.
Use only a screen name and don’t share passwords (other than with parents).
Never agree to get together in person with anyone met online without parent approval and/or supervision.
Never respond to a threatening email, message, post, or text.
Always tell a parent or other trusted adult about any communication or conversation that was scary or hurtful.
Basic guidelines for parental supervision:
Spend time online together to teach your kids appropriate online behavior.
Keep the computer in a common area where you can watch and monitor its use, not in individual bedrooms. Monitor any time spent on smartphones or tablets.
Bookmark kids’ favorite sites for easy access.
Check your credit card and phone bills for unfamiliar account charges.
Find out what, if any, online protection is offered by your child’s school, after-school center, friends’ homes, or any place where kids could use a computer without your supervision.
Take your child seriously if he or she reports an uncomfortable online exchange.
If you’re aware of the sending, use, or viewing of child pornography online, call the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children at (800) 843-5678 or go online to their CyberTipline. They’ll make sure the info is forwarded to law enforcement officials for investigation. Contact your local law enforcement agency or the FBI if your child has received child pornography via the Internet.
Watch for warning signs of a child being targeted by an online predator. These can include:
spending long hours online, especially at night
phone calls from people you don’t know
unsolicited gifts arriving in the mail
your child suddenly turning off the computer or other device when you walk into the room
withdrawal from family life and reluctance to discuss online activities
Talk to your kids! Keep an open line of communication and make sure that they feel comfortable turning to you when they have problems online.
The Internet and Teens
As kids get older, it gets a little trickier to monitor their time spent online. They may carry a smartphone with them at all times. They probably want — and need — some privacy. This is healthy and normal, as they’re becoming more independent from their parents. The Internet can provide a safe “virtual” environment for exploring some newfound freedom if precautions are taken.
Talk about the sites and apps teens use and their online experiences. Discuss the dangers of interacting with strangers online and remind them that people online don’t always tell the truth. Explain that passwords are there to protect against things like identity theft. They should never share them with anyone, even a boyfriend, girlfriend, or best friend.
Taking an active role in your kids’ online activities helps ensure that they benefit from them without being exposed to the potential dangers.
8 games that will teach your child the rules of safety
As you know, the best way for children to perceive information is through the game. Games that are specially designed for “Oh!” compiled by child psychologist Svetlana Pyatnitskaya.
Svetlana Pyatnitskaya, preschool teacher, child and perinatal psychologist, author of educational programs for preschool children
Do’s and Don’ts 3+
Surely modern parents remember the game with the ball “Edible-inedible”. By analogy, the game “Do or Don’t” is organized. The host throws the ball, uttering various phrases, the child catches or throws the ball away from him, depending on their meaning. For example: “Play near the roadway”, “There are icicles”, “Play with matches”, “Take a thing left by someone”, “Leave with a stranger”, “Play with medicines”, “Open the door to a stranger”, “Ask who rings the doorbell.” In this game, it is useful for the baby to change places with the parent and be the leader himself.
“Fire and Water” 3+
It is useful for children aged 3-7 to read “Cat’s House” by Samuil Yakovlevich Marshak and “Confusion” by Korney Ivanovich Chukovsky, and then play the outdoor game “Fire and Water”. This game is especially interesting to play in a company. Red ribbons – “fire” are put behind the belt of the clothes for the participants, and blue ribbons – “water” are tied to the hands of the two leaders. At a signal from an adult, children with blue ribbons catch up as quickly as possible and collect red ribbons from the fleeing children – in this way they “put out the fire”.
“Traffic light” 4+
Place red, yellow and green circles in front of the child. Pick up cards depicting different actions. With older children, you can say these actions out loud. For example: “Cross the road at a red light.” The child must put the picture on the red circle or raise the red circle up, commenting: “It is forbidden to do this.” “Cross the road through the underpass” – a green circle. “Cross the road” is yellow, as it is possible to cross, but with the condition: finding a zebra or an underpass.
You can start the game by demonstrating circles of different colors, saying the words:
“Red light – no way,
Yellow – get ready,
And green says: “Come on, the way is open!”
“Our Helpers” 4+
If you are driving, pay attention to traffic signs while driving. It is very important to know them not only for drivers, but also for pedestrians, they are our helpers. Along the way, ask questions: “Why did we slow down in front of a zebra?” “Give way to people who are crossing the street. ” “Why doesn’t the car leave the road until we pass?” “Because we have the main road.” You can print road signs and offer to think about what they might mean; give the child a task – to notice the proposed sign on the road and tell you about it.
“On the road” 5+
When you go to kindergarten or school together, pay your child’s attention to the objects you pass by (a playground, a tree, a bus stop), discuss which landmarks the child can recognize his house, entrance , floor, apartment. Invite him to take you to the house himself, as if you have forgotten the way, or show you how to go home to your favorite toy or friend. Take photos and invite the child to put them in the right order: “Road from home to garden”, “Road from garden to home”. Show the name of the street and the number of the house that is indicated on the building. Explain which side to consider your entrance, on which plate its number is indicated. On the landing, pay attention to the floor number.
Extra Four 5+
If you have subject cards, organizing the Extra Four game is not difficult. Pictures can be drawn by an adult himself. Lay out cards with the image of four objects in front of the child. For example, edible and poisonous mushrooms: boletus, boletus, chanterelle and fly agaric; toys: a pyramid, a steam locomotive, a doll and a package of pills; school supplies: album, ruler, pen and needle; berries: raspberry, strawberry, black currant and wolfberry. By analogy, you can choose other combinations. The task of the child is to find an extra image and explain why he thinks that this particular picture is not suitable. This game will help prevent unwanted contact with dangerous objects.
Matches in a box 6+
For this game, you need to choose two leaders. The rest of the players, standing nearby, speak in unison:
“We are sisters,
We are all matches.
Run away in all directions,
Otherwise, trouble awaits you!”
Leaders, holding hands with each other, say:
“Matches” scatter around the site. The drivers catch the “matches” by enclosing them in a “box” – a vicious circle, clasping their hands. When most of the players are caught, new drivers are selected – and the game is repeated again.
Secrets
Children of all ages love secrets. You can use this feature for the benefit of security. Create your own password, a simple code word that only you will know. Agree that if someone rings the doorbell and asks to open it, asks for help on your behalf or offers to go somewhere, then the child needs to ask your secret word. Only after an unfamiliar adult calls him, this person can be trusted.
By the way, your favorite cartoon characters also learn the ABC of safety. For example, in the Three Cats animated series, kittens learn the rules of behavior on the water, and the characters of the Bing animated series learn what to do if someone is lost. Watch these cartoons on the Oh! together with your child and discuss stories, consolidating the knowledge gained in a fun way.

8 games that will teach your child safety rules
8 games that will teach your child safety rules
As you know, children perceive information best through play. Games that are specially designed for “Oh!” compiled by child psychologist Svetlana Pyatnitskaya.
Svetlana Pyatnitskaya, preschool teacher, child and perinatal psychologist, author of educational programs for preschool children
Do’s and Don’ts 3+
Surely modern parents remember the Edible-Inedible ball game. By analogy, the game “Do or Don’t” is organized. The host throws the ball, uttering various phrases, the child catches or throws the ball away from him, depending on their meaning. For example: “Play near the roadway”, “There are icicles”, “Play with matches”, “Take a thing left by someone”, “Leave with a stranger”, “Play with medicines”, “Open the door to a stranger”, “Ask who rings the doorbell.” In this game, it is useful for the baby to change places with the parent and be the leader himself.
“Fire and Water” 3+
It is useful for children aged 3-7 to read “Cat’s House” by Samuil Yakovlevich Marshak and “Confusion” by Korney Ivanovich Chukovsky, and then play the outdoor game “Fire and Water”. This game is especially interesting to play in a company. Red ribbons – “fire” are put behind the belt of the clothes for the participants, and blue ribbons – “water” are tied to the hands of the two leaders. At a signal from an adult, children with blue ribbons catch up as quickly as possible and collect red ribbons from the fleeing children – in this way they “put out the fire”.
“Traffic light” 4+
Place red, yellow and green circles in front of the child. Pick up cards depicting different actions. With older children, you can say these actions out loud. For example: “Cross the road at a red light.” The child must put the picture on the red circle or raise the red circle up, commenting: “It is forbidden to do this.” “Cross the road through the underpass” – a green circle. “Cross the road” is yellow, as it is possible to cross, but with the condition: finding a zebra or an underpass.
You can start the game by demonstrating circles of different colors, saying the words:
“Red light – no way,
Yellow – get ready,
And green says: “Come on, the way is open!”
“Our Helpers” 4+
If you drive a car, pay your child’s attention to road signs during the trip. It is very important to know them not only for drivers, but also for pedestrians, they are our helpers. Along the way, ask questions: “Why did we slow down in front of a zebra?” “Give way to people who are crossing the street.” “Why doesn’t the car leave the road until we pass?” “Because we have the main road.” You can print road signs and offer to think about what they might mean; give the child a task – to notice the proposed sign on the road and tell you about it.
“On the road” 5+
When you go to kindergarten or school together, pay your child’s attention to the objects you pass by (a playground, a tree, a bus stop), discuss which landmarks the child can recognize his house, entrance , floor, apartment. Invite him to take you to the house himself, as if you have forgotten the way, or show you how to go home to your favorite toy or friend. Take photos and invite the child to put them in the right order: “Road from home to garden”, “Road from garden to home”. Show the name of the street and the number of the house that is indicated on the building. Explain which side to consider your entrance, on which plate its number is indicated. On the landing, pay attention to the floor number.
Extra Four 5+
If you have subject cards, organizing the Extra Four game is not difficult. Pictures can be drawn by an adult himself. Lay out cards with the image of four objects in front of the child. For example, edible and poisonous mushrooms: boletus, boletus, chanterelle and fly agaric; toys: a pyramid, a steam locomotive, a doll and a package of pills; school supplies: album, ruler, pen and needle; berries: raspberry, strawberry, black currant and wolfberry. By analogy, you can choose other combinations. The task of the child is to find an extra image and explain why he thinks that this particular picture is not suitable. This game will help prevent unwanted contact with dangerous objects.
Matches in a box 6+
For this game, you need to choose two leaders. The rest of the players, standing nearby, speak in unison:
“We are sisters,
We are all matches.
Run away in all directions,
Otherwise, trouble awaits you!”
Leaders, holding hands with each other, say:
“Come on, matches, beware,
don’t get caught in the boxes!
“Matches” scatter around the site. Drivers catch “matches” by enclosing them in “boxes” – a vicious circle, clasping their hands. When most of the players are caught, new drivers are selected and the game is repeated again.
Secrets
Children of all ages love secrets. You can use this feature for the benefit of security. Create your own password, a simple code word that only you will know. Agree that if someone rings the doorbell and asks to open it, asks for help on your behalf or offers to go somewhere, then the child needs to ask your secret word. Only after an unfamiliar adult calls him, this person can be trusted.
By the way, your favorite cartoon characters also learn the ABC of safety. For example, in the Three Cats animated series, kittens learn the rules of behavior on the water, and the characters of the Bing animated series learn what to do if someone is lost. Watch these cartoons on the Oh! together with your child and discuss stories, consolidating the knowledge gained in a fun way.

Didactic safety games in the preparatory group

Sayapina, L. I. Didactic safety games in the preparatory group / L. I. Sayapina, N. A. Kuznetsova. – Text: direct // Questions of preschool pedagogy. — 2019. – No. 5 (22). – S. 25-27. — URL: https://moluch.ru/th/1/archive/124/4171/ (date of access: 04/01/2021).
The article reveals topical issues of formation of the basics of life safety in preschool children through didactic games. Examples of didactic games on the basics of life safety are given, their brief description is given.
Preschool age is the initial stage of assimilation of social experience. The child develops under the influence of an adult, under the influence of impressions of the surrounding world. Especially the children of the preparatory group, who more consciously begin to perceive everything that happens in the world and prepare for a solid assimilation of knowledge in the future in school education [2, p. 52].
Carrying out educational activities in a preschool institution, educators implement the main general educational program of preschool education, which puts forward certain requirements for the basics of the safe life of children.
Teaching children the skills of life safety, the tasks of the educational area “Social and communicative development” are solved. In it, along with the traditional tasks for the protection and health of life, put forward the requirement for the formation in preschool children of the skills necessary in everyday life, society and in nature for a relatively safe life [1, p. 32].
Children of preschool age are distinguished by high physical activity, which can often lead to traumatic situations. This is evidenced by the data of medical statistics, as well as in medical research it was found that it was at preschool age that the highest percentage of injuries in everyday life was established [2, p. 46].
A preschooler has a predisposition to accidents, and this is due primarily to the immaturity of the cerebral cortex, the rapid exhaustion of the nervous system, the inability to correctly assess the situation, and the lack of knowledge about the sources of danger. That is why it is important to create conditions for the formation of safe life activities for preschool children.
A big role in the development and upbringing of a preschool child belongs to the game – the most important type of activity, since this type of activity is the main one for preschool children. Children better understand and learn certain norms by playing, they perceive it as an entertaining process, and not teaching. Therefore, it is possible to form the experience of safe behavior in children in everyday life through didactic games [1, p. 29]. Didactic games will help in solving the following tasks:
− enrich children’s ideas about the main sources and types of dangers in everyday life;
– introduce children to the simplest ways of safe behavior;
– to form in them a cautious and prudent attitude to dangerous situations; to develop pupils’ interest in the rules of safe behavior [3, p. 55].
Another Soviet teacher V. A. Sukhomlinsky said that: “Play is a huge bright window through which a life-giving stream of ideas and concepts in the surrounding world flows into the spiritual world of a child. The game is a spark that ignites the flame of inquisitiveness and curiosity.
Formation of the foundations of safe life in preschool children largely depends on the skills and professional skills of the educator, on his knowledge of developmental psychology, taking into account the individual characteristics of children and skillful interaction with children. Also important is the correct organization of work, as well as the correct application of methodological techniques in working with preschoolers.
To form the foundations of safe life in preschool children, we offer a number of didactic games:
1. Telephone.
Purpose: to get help telephone numbers.
Content of the game: children are offered a certain phone number, and they need to call it and politely ask for help.
2. Let’s fix the guys’ mistakes!
Purpose: to consolidate children’s knowledge of traffic rules and fire safety.
Content of the game: children receive pictures in which other children violate safety rules, their task is to correct the mistakes.
3. Is it on or off?
Purpose: to be able to classify objects on the basis of fire.
Contents of the game: Children receive various objects and determine whether this object is dangerous or safe, how to use it correctly.
4. Who needs what?
Purpose: to form children’s ideas about the objects used by doctors, firefighters, police, teachers, etc.
Content of the game: Children are offered a certain profession, their task is to name what items a representative of this profession needs to work
5. Shall we prohibit or allow?
Purpose: to consolidate children’s knowledge about basic safety requirements, etc.
Content of the game: The teacher tells children fictional stories about other children, and preschoolers answer whether they agree with the actions of the children from the story.
6. Visiting a fireman.
Purpose: to consolidate knowledge about primary fire extinguishing equipment, describe the object, recognize it by description.
Content of the game: children are given a virtual tour to visit the fireman, where they must demonstrate their knowledge of the fire.
7. Road signs.
Purpose: to develop understanding and skillful use of traffic signs in children.
Contents of the game: each child was given the task of drawing a certain road sign, after which the other children must tell everything they know about each road sign.
Safety watch
1. Tasks: to systematize and consolidate children’s knowledge about traffic, road signs. Continue to acquaint and consolidate children’s knowledge about the signs:
1) Warning
2) Forbidding
3) Information and indication.
With the help of play information, children should be aware of the need to obey the rules of the road.
Ways to play: the game can be played by children themselves and with adults. The game provides several options for gaming activities.
− Road sign bingo game
− Miraculous bag
− Find the sign you heard the verse or riddle about
Equipment and elements for the game.
− Wonderful bag with wooden road signs, poems, riddles for them
− Bag with road signs for playing loto
− Wooden cards – stripes with road warning and prohibition signs
− Additional verses and riddles collected in a separate compilation
Expected result: with the help of play activities with children and the use by the educator of a playful, learning aid in safety classes, children will learn the signs and rules of the road more easily and quickly.
You can also act out different situations with children, for example “If the child is lost on the street”, “My puppy is lost”, where the main characters will be children. Playing out various situations makes the game exciting and allows the child to plunge into the reality of life [4, p. 61].
Thus, all the problems of life safety, which are so necessary for children to know and be able to solve at preschool age, are realized by them in game situations. The task of preschool teachers is to create conditions for the child in which he could master the necessary knowledge, to help preschool children choose the brightest from the mass of life impressions, those that can serve as the plot of a good game, because the game is necessary for the health of the child. It makes his life more meaningful¸ complete and creates self-confidence.

safety lessons | Scholastic
These fun and hands-on activities give children a deeper understanding and respect for safety precautions. The main plus in terms of safety is that children should listen, communicate and cooperate – all the necessary social interaction skills! Best of all, these activities are simply entertaining because they encourage kids to think critically and play creatively.
Get Started
Introduce safety activities through collaborative problem solving, discussion, and information sharing. A good way to encourage kids to talk about safety is to fill a bag with props like a toy stop sign, a toy phone, sunscreen, and a trash bag. Bring each item out one by one for discussion. You may ask, “Why do we need this?” “How does this help us?” “What can we do with this object to protect ourselves?” Children can say that they use sunscreen to protect their skin from the sun, a stop sign to keep cars from running into each other, an emergency phone, and a trash bag to pick up trash. Use this activity to encourage children talk about safety. Then, during the year, use the prop to implement one of the following safety measures. Children already have experience with the support and the theme and can use their previous knowledge.
Using activities
As children participate in safety activities, they learn to identify problems and express their thoughts and feelings about potentially dangerous situations. They learn to think through problems and come up with solutions. As they physically act as a safety assistant or perform safety procedures (such as stopping, falling, and rolling), they learn to use their body and mind in an emergency. Of course, just talking about safety also helps children deal with the fears and emotions associated with this important topic.
As you introduce and involve the children in safety activities, be sure to give them enough time to share their thoughts and feelings about all the ideas that inspire these activities. Slow down, listen carefully and watch learning flourish!

Expanding possibilities
900 learning. When you expand children’s experience with an activity, you are asking them to take their knowledge and understanding from one situation and apply it to a new one, which will deepen their understanding. In addition, you help children understand how to use this information meaningfully.
Here are some new ideas for each of the safety activities:
• The Stop, Drop, and Roll Program is very important for teaching young children. Be sure to remind kids to cover their faces when they roll to protect their eyes. Smoke is also a big problem in a fire. Teach kids how to “stay low and go” on fire. Use a red chalk circle to mark a section of the play yard as a fire. Turn on the music and invite the children to move around. At your signal (call or FIRE), ask the children to “drop and crawl” out of the fire area.
• Kids can expand on the role play they started in Firefighter Friends by creating some imaginary block fire scenes that they can put out. Kids can build buildings and then stuff them with crumpled red cellophane or tissue paper to start a fire. Provide paper towel tubes that can be used as hoses!
• Children learn to read signs first. After using action Eco Seal Game in the area of the block, take it outside. Kids will love making signs pointing out their trikes and wagons.
• Each security worker uses a support or tool of some sort. Great way to expand on Guess Who? Action is to play a matching game in which children match a tool with a worker. For example, show the children a real fire hat and ask, “Who uses this?” Include less traditional workers and their tools such as a janitor and a broom.
• It is important to practice the information children receive in . This is an emergency! activity. This is the perfect time to teach kids the important phone skills they might need in a real emergency. When the dispatcher answers an emergency call, the child must be able to give their name and address. Have the children rehearse names and addresses during the group activity. Call the presence service and ask the children to respond with their full names and addresses. Use drama phone numbers or old phones kids gave up to practice dialing 911 and any other important help number.
• After the children are familiar with the safety materials in and around the school in Hop on the Safety Train , you can take the train and ride around the area. Use the same “Where…” song to ask children to find safety devices and people in the area. For example, they can find a stop sign, a traffic light, a police officer, or even a street sign.
• You can expand step Safety in cars and buses by bringing more crates of appliances to the playground and asking the children what other vehicles they would like to make with them. Don’t forget to sing a few rounds of “The Wheels on the Bus” and change the lyrics to match each of the cars.
• After class Time to clean up , the classroom is tidy, it’s time to clean up the streets. Invite the children to discuss the special dangers of litter left in playgrounds. What can happen if something is left at the bottom of a slide? Ask the children to make special trash bags for the playground and put them away before every game.
• Emphasize the importance of Sun Safety after this initial activity by involving the children in exploring the sun and shade. Walk around the play yard to make sure there is enough shade. Then bring a piece of string and a collection of old sheets (ask a parent to borrow them). Have the children brainstorm how to use materials to create shady areas or “shade tents.” Children may also enjoy watching the sun move throughout the day. Where are the shady mornings and afternoons?

Safe play for children – play-based learning
Online play is an activity that is gaining momentum in developed countries. In today’s era, games are not just for kids, as the number of adults playing games is greater than ever. However, this does not mean that the targeting of games for children has ceased.
Millions of children around the world participate in online games. While this is a fun activity for kids, it has its dangers, especially for younger users. Thus, parents need to inform kids about these dangers and teach them how they can stay safe. You can’t keep an eye on your child all the time. Therefore, developing children’s decision-making abilities is important to ensure their safety.
While the focus is on allowing the child to take responsibility, it is also important to implement features or boundaries in the home that will promote safety. Safety games for kids can provide an experience of using the Internet and raise children’s safety awareness.
Safe play for kids at home
While online games and other games can provide kids with safety information, kids can do other non-screen activities at home. These activities are fun and allow kids to learn basic safety rules like road signs and emergency numbers they can call when they need help.
Physical Activity
No. 1: Stop, Drop and Roll
This is one physical activity that kids will love because it can be done by multiple children. The purpose of this activity is to give parents an opportunity to introduce fire safety activities. It teaches children how to react safely in case of fire.
# 2: Sidewalk safety game
The teacher can introduce this game at school and the children can easily play at home. The purpose of the game is to introduce the child to the concept of safety in everyday life. All that is needed for the game is to draw with colored chalk on the sidewalk or a few cones. Children can draw danger signs and other symbols to avoid on hopscotch courts.
Parents can also teach bicycle safety lessons to children by placing cones on the pavement. They can be used to teach children how to safely maneuver and turn on bikes, as well as teach the dangers of traffic.
This means that the child can remain safe even with minimal supervision as he learns the basics of safety. To make the game exciting, children can be given certificates as prizes.
Security Board games and puzzles
# 1: Jetta Crossword
Bye U.S. Fire Administration offers home security puzzles, and there are many other security crossword puzzles. Crossword puzzles are designed to test the child’s understanding of home safety. There are various puzzles that involve safety related to traffic lights and other scenarios.
#2: Maze Escape

These games can also be puzzles as they aim for kids to really excel in learning basic safety rules. The advantage of such board games is that they allow parents to assess what children do not know about safety.
Online safety games
While online games provide many opportunities for children to learn about safety, parents need to be aware of the games their children play. Parents need to check the games rating to determine if the games are suitable for kids.
Safety awareness games are available for children to play in their spare time. While these games are fun and exciting, children consciously learn tips to help them play and walk safely.
Online Safety Games Warning: Although online safety games aim to teach children how to be safe, they expose children to many threats. Thus, it is important to play with the child, especially when they are small, and this allows the parent to control the interaction with other players.
The child should also be taught to associate only with people you both know. To ensure that a child follows the rules, it is very important to have online safety conversations as it relates to games. Scheduling is another important aspect of introducing safe play for kids, as it prevents the game addiction that older children show up who don’t like time management.
Adding safety to role play
Safety is something that can be added to a child’s role play. Pretend play can cover many scenarios such as a hospital or a fire station. Kids just love to dress up in safety gear at the construction site.
These safety games provide an opportunity to introduce the child to the safety rules associated with each of the scenarios. The parent should supervise the children’s play and indicate to them the safety measures that they use incorrectly or do not know. Pretend play is spontaneous play that can take place at home or at school. Therefore, the repetitive nature of play allows the child to gain a fundamental understanding of safety features.
Safety books
These books are great for raising kids’ safety awareness as they include fun activities. Follow this link to download a free copy of the Great Home Safety Book from Safekids.org.
Introduction to books ensures that learning about safety is an ongoing process that does not end with physical play. Books can be intriguing for home children as they contain many tips that a child can learn. Discussing books with your child will ensure that you can evaluate the progress they have made.
Bottom line!
Safety awareness games for kids are an incredible way for kids to learn how to be responsible. While these games are important, parents and teachers have a role to play in ensuring the success of a child’s learning process. For safety purposes, online gaming requires supervision by adults who can guide children during the game. The purpose of monitoring is to make sure that children are not exposed to the many dangers that exist on the online platform. It is through conversation that parents can protect their children without causing them to panic.

Learn the Internet Code of the Amazing
Here are five educational points kids will learn throughout their online quest to be smart, alert, strong, kind and brave online.
How to be smart online
It all starts with learning how to “share with care”. In the offline world, toys are shared with friends we trust. So why is it casual to share our personal information and photos online? They can easily fall into the hands of those we don’t know if we’re not careful.
Be Internet Alert
Don’t fall for the “fake” by realizing that things on the web aren’t always what they seem. Information must be “fact-checked” from reliable sources. Social media is a powerful resource for connecting us with others, but it can just as well be used to spread misinformation.
Be strong on the Internet
Are your secrets safe? What personal information is at risk when interacting online? This is an important lesson in privacy protection. Knowledge of safe practices translates into the ability to protect oneself. This is just as important for children as it is for adults.
Be Kind Online

It not only benefits others and makes them feel good, but positive the results come back to make our lives better. Collectively, kindness makes the world a better place, both offline and as a good digital citizen.
Be brave online
Talking to someone we trust can often be the bravest of all when you’re facing a tough online situation. It could be cyberbullying or a simple problem of how to react to something the child encounters online. We work in a digital world, but the most valuable conversations happen in person, at home or at school.

Children don’t play with matches,
Safety rules are observed.
They love to jump and play,
(Child’s name) , pick a flower for you!
The child, whose name was called, “plucks” the flower he likes and sounds the number on it. Then together they find a pocket with the same number on a game basis. The preschool teacher takes out the contents, announces the name of the game, explains the rules.

What you need to know
Because gaming has become more accessible through mobile gaming and the use of new technologies. The results of our Parent Generation Game Report show that 95% of children and teenagers (CYP) play video games online and offline.
Get advice on how online gaming can be different for CYP with SEND, and the benefits, risks, and challenges they face.
Benefits
Games can help you communicate
Games give CYP the opportunity to be known for their great gaming abilities, not their limited abilities/additional needs. Interest in games can give them a reason to strike up a friendship and talk about it. This is especially important for CYPs, who may have a harder time learning neurotypical social skills.
Games help manage mood
For some children, a little play on their devices can give them an escape, a way to deal with their emotions and give them downtime so they focus less on the potential problems that cause them pain.
Games can help develop motor skills
Most games require the development of fine motor skills to control the game. Other games, such as touch screen games, can help people develop hand-eye coordination.
Games can develop creativity
Often children who enjoy playing will do more than just play the game. They can also try to create their own games and characters which will allow them to be creative and expand their skills in a certain area. This could be character drawing or coding by creating your own games on a particular platform.
Game development can become a career
Game development can become a career. CYPs may aspire to this if they are interested in a playing career. Ask Games: A Prosperous Future: A comprehensive gaming career guide provides good career advice.
Talking to Strangers
With the rise in popularity of multiplayer games like Fortnite, the social aspect of games has grown. Often, games provide chat features for users to interact with. In some cases, they have security features (such as privacy settings, AI tracking, and human moderation), but sometimes children may use other apps along with the game to communicate that do not provide the same protection for their safety.
In addition, our research shows that children with vulnerabilities are twice as likely to experience strangers and online trolling as children without vulnerabilities.
Physical
Games are designed to keep children busy, so it can be difficult for children with SEND to stop playing, especially if they meet a range of their needs. Long games without breaks can adversely affect their well-being. If your child’s sleep, physical activity, learning, and communication are being adversely affected by their inability to stop playing, then there is cause for concern.
Increased screen time
Children can develop a passion for games and spend hours watching videos on how to play a game or watching live streams with other players. They may sometimes contain profanity or adult themes, especially if they are playing adult rated games. They may also want to record and share their own play, which can be risky.
Gambling risk
The use of loot boxes in games or in-app purchases where you cannot see what you are buying may be considered a form of gambling and may encourage young people to gamble. Gambling stimulates the brain’s reward system to create thrills, so it’s important to set up passwords or pins to limit in-app purchases. Explaining what is free and what costs money in the games they play and where the limits are can also help them make smarter choices.
Addiction risk
Children with autism or ADHD spend twice as much time playing video games and are more likely to become addicted, according to the Mail Online.
Research has previously suggested that children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are at risk for problematic video game use or so-called “video game addiction”.
Meeting strangers
It can be easy for children, especially those with communication problems, to form strong bonds with the people they play online games with, especially if that is their main mode of communication. There is a danger that they might befriend a groomer or a catfish (lie about who they are), which could put them at great risk if they decide to meet in the real world.
Important to know that:
Certain difficulties or impairments may put children with SEND at increased risk of online abuse such as sexual abuse, coercion, online care, etc.
CYPs tend to see no boundaries between online or offline life and are often victimized online through someone who knows them offline and is aware of their vulnerability. This way the attacker knows how to manipulate his target, especially if he sent
Some online groomers used online gaming platforms and consoles such as Xbox and PlayStation to communicate with little boys
Children with SEND are more likely to experience all online risks compared to children without any difficulty.
Of the various types of risks, children with SEND are significantly more likely to experience online contact risks. Examples of this include sexting under duress and coercion. They seem to be hunted down and isolated
Children with communication difficulties are also more likely to be at risk of contact. They are more likely to spend time in chat rooms than their invulnerable peers, who can facilitate direct communication and are known for explicit sexual talk, innuendo, and profanity.
Contact risk is also associated with an increased risk of seeing malicious content and more aggressive behavior from other users on the Internet.
Challenges
Harder to identify online risks
Games can offer all CYPs an opportunity to communicate, be creative and develop core skills. However, those with additional training needs should be given additional support to identify potential risks in the network.
Using characters
Many players use characters, so it can be harder for the CYP to know who they are playing with and what their true intentions are. There are also ways in which people interact in games that can affect their well-being, such as the use of upset (a type of intimidation) used to win games.
Exciting game patterns
Although there is no direct link between violent offline behavior and video games, it is still important to know how video games affect CYP. CYPs with autism spectrum disorder are prone to restricted and repetitive behaviors. As a result, they may be at higher risk of developing addictive game patterns. Be mindful of the content of the games they play and using PEGI ratings to determine which games are age appropriate is also key.
What should be considered?
Combine controls with communication
While there are certain risks associated with gaming, the use of available controls and settings, combined with constant conversation and interaction, allows children and teens to enjoy all of the games on offer safely.
Balancing online gaming with other activities
Agree on how you can help them balance the importance of offline activities, family time, study and sleep versus online gaming. This will encourage them to think about how much time is good for their health. Make sure your child takes a short break every hour they play.
Connection with others
Take full advantage of your privacy settings to control who your child can chat and play with online. These controls are no substitute for parental involvement, so it’s important to constantly talk to your child about who they’re playing with online and how to deal with anything that upsets them or makes them feel insecure.
Stay up to date with their gameplay
Get in the habit of checking what games they play and what they like so you know when they need to step in and offer their support. You can even play together with the whole family. Another easy way to do this is to encourage them to play games in a place where you can see and hear them so that you can support them if problems arise.
Practical steps to protect them
Risk Prevention Tools and Tips
What You Can Do
Online gaming is a form of escapism for some young people, and socializing during play can give young people with SEND a chance to build real friendships based on the general principles of their likes and dislikes, as well as the development of their motor skills, cognitive abilities and creativity. skills.
If they already play online, use these tools and strategies to help them get the most out of online gaming and prevent potential risks.
Conversations to have
Regular conversations and interactions with young people are important because it means you can be aware of what they are doing if you or they have any problems and in general, so that you can be calm.
Solving problems online
To determine if gaming is having a negative impact on children’s development, it is important to consider the following questions:
Is my child physically healthy and getting enough sleep?
Does my child have normal social ties with family and friends?
Is my child participating in school and developing as expected at school?
Is my child interested in other activities?
Does my child continue to have fun and enjoy the game?
Can they become victims of online sexual abuse?
Creating a space where kids can find a healthy balance between playing games and their online lives is important to prevent them from developing bad gaming habits.
What are the main problems?
Online abuse through game chats
Any child of any background can be emotionally abused online. But some are more vulnerable than others. We all understand the anxiety about games: too many games, isolated young people not learning social skills, getting involved in gambling or being harmed by groomers.
Survival strategies
Reassure your CYP that he is not to blame – he probably feels the same fear and anxiety as you do. Let them know that your main concern is their safety and that you want to help them. CYPs often worry about the “stigma” of abuse. Don’t treat your CYPs as if they were different because of this.
Have a calm and open conversation – explore what is happening honestly and supportively. Be aware that abused CYPs will find it very difficult to talk about it.
Avoid questions that may seem intrusive or overwhelming – instead focus on understanding how they feel now and what they might like from you.
Has the violence stopped? (Often the abuse continues even after CYP has told someone about it.)
Where to go for support and advice
Report it! If you suspect that a child has been the victim of online sexual abuse, report it to SPIN or the police immediately. You can also report a problem by visiting our problem report page.
Gameplay and emotions
Often, if a child plays alone or for too long, it can affect his mood. They may show signs of frustration if forced to stop, or even anger. It’s important to keep an eye on this to understand how best to manage these situations if they arise, but these things in and of themselves are not a sign of addiction.
Playing with a child (or watching him play) is a good first step towards a better understanding of his play mood. Searching for your games on resources like the Family Video Game Database will help you better understand the experience from an adult’s point of view. By reflecting on the following questions, you can separate cause and effect and decide how best to steer them toward better behavior without blaming, restricting, or banning play.
To unwind after a busy day at school?
Is this for contacting friends?
To avoid other stresses in your life?
In order to excel at something or gain social status?
Maybe they like the feeling of experience?
Someone tells them that they will be rewarded if they send inappropriate photos?
Coping strategies
Encourage them to take a break when they are upset.
Based on their interests, direct them to calm games that can change their state of mind.
Be prepared for an alternative suggestion on how they can fill their time when the gameplay is over.
Use the tools on your game console or platform or the automatic settings on the web to set time limits and track what they play and for how long
Warn them 5, 10, 15 minutes before you agree to stop thinking about it and get ready.
Contact them to see how they feel about their gameplay and to discuss any issues they may have.
Online cyberbullying and hate
On certain games and platforms, there may be instances where users will use “poisonous language” to intimidate, ridicule, or upset other players in order to win the game, or simply as an acceptable part of the gameplay. These constant insults can affect the mental state of children, so it is important to show young people how to block and report any behavior that is inappropriate and mean.
Taking the time to read the community guidelines together so that children know what is not allowed on the platform will help them be better prepared to spot this behavior if they see it. If they engage in such behavior to fit in or become part of the group, help them understand why it is not acceptable and that words can affect people’s feelings. Talk about possible consequences, such as being denied access to the platform.
Survival strategies
Encourage your children to stay positive online.
If they hear or see anything offensive, they should report it on the platform and to a trusted adult.
If they’re unhappy with a player, suggest they take a break and come back with a clear head.
Make sure they know to talk to a trusted adult about anything that upsets them online.
If your child is being bullied while playing, you can find out what you can do. here.

Online Care
It is important that your child understands what a good online friend is. You can use this exercise to help “What is a good friend to do”. behind fake profiles for dishonest reasons.
If you suspect your child is developing unhealthy or disturbing relationships with people online, it is important to talk to them to get the facts. Children in this situation may think that what they are doing is okay because that person is their “friend”.
Even if they are not in immediate danger, we would advise contacting the National Crime Agency’s CEOP Command, who can investigate further and put the best interests of the child first. It is also important to report the user to the platform so that action can be taken.
Survival strategies
Agree together how you will handle friend requests and who they will play with online.
Encourage children to ask questions about people’s intentions and not accept everything they are told
Remind them that not everyone online is who they say they are
Use this video to help them understand how to connect with new people online
Make sure you talk about what information they need to keep confidential and why
To explain the concepts of sharing and grooming, you can use the NSPCC Pants Video and Share Aware guide

Computer game “Road Safety”
Test game for schoolchildren consists of 18 questions. Test your knowledge of traffic rules and get a Pedestrian License
GAME “New Robinson” (School of survival in the natural environment).
The plot of the game is based on the book “The Life and Amazing Adventures of Robinson Crusoe” by Daniel Defoe. The protagonist of the game, very vaguely reminiscent of a brave sailor from York, ends up on the island with almost nothing. The player will have to experience all the delights of being a city dweller on a desert island – to solve the pressing problems of everyday life (search for fresh water and food, fishing and meeting with a crocodile, making a fire and building a home), communicating with natives and visiting an abandoned ship. And when it turns out that the island is not completely uninhabited, save the future friend and ally (Friday, who, by the way, has yet to be taught the Russian language) and try to escape by building a balloon from improvised means and outwitting the pirates. And the fate of the poor fellow Robinson depends on the ingenuity of the player. Unlike most existing adventure games, the main character can influence each of the selected items on any active object on the screen, which makes the game much more varied. The “New Robinson” also includes many ingenious insert games. The game is a thing! A wonderful quest and the only game I know (at least in Russian) dedicated to the art of survival. Despite the venerable age (released in 1999), the game leaves only positive impressions. Skeptics may think that the toy is only for children, but I assure you, the puzzles there are far from childish. Good luck! Screenshots:
How to explain to a child the rules of behavior on the road and in transport in such a way that he would be interested and remember everything? Of course, with the help of colorful and interesting cartoons and games! Children do not like strict rules without explanation, they are always interested in knowing why it is necessary to do so. It is with the use of this principle that the educational cartoons on this disc have been developed. They show what will happen if you behave incorrectly on the road, and after that the correct behavior is shown. And all this on the examples of colorful cartoon characters! A cheerful policeman-regulator is always ready to help – to explain if something is not entirely clear. And most importantly, boring rules are best remembered while playing. Your child has a great opportunity to apply the acquired knowledge in the mini-games “Color the signs” and “Find the danger”.

So that children’s games do not lead to trouble! – Child safety
Children in their free time from daily school lessons and homework can devote themselves entirely to the knowledge of the world around them with all their inherent curiosity. Of course, this is a wonderful property of children – to be interested in everything new, unknown and so attractive. This broadens their horizons, gives a new meaning to their existence and paints life in bright colors. However, some entertaining children’s games can lead to trouble. This primarily concerns pranks with fire and everything connected with it. In order to avoid troubles, the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia for the Pskov Region reminds parents of some fire safety rules that must be instilled in every child from a very young age.
Children sometimes try to introduce elements of mystery into their games. Sometimes, it is even difficult to predict where a child’s fantasy will lead in search of places for games, which often take place in attics and basements. Mystery and darkness require the presence of fire, and then the guys, without thinking about the consequences, can make a fire where it is dangerous even to light a match.
Fire is always a disaster. During combustion, toxic gases are released: hydrocyanic acid, phosgene and others, and the oxygen content in the air drops. That is why not only and even not so much fire is dangerous, but smoke and fumes from it.
One of the most dangerous causes of fires is children’s pranks with fire. Statistics show that, compared with other causes (for example, violation of fire safety rules during the operation of stove heating or careless handling of fire), children’s pranks are not very common. However, the price of such pampering can be the life and health of children! Basically, the responsibility for this lies with the parents who have not paid due attention to the safety of children, do not hide matches from them, do not control their behavior, do not follow the games, and sometimes, indulging children’s whims, are allowed to play with matches. Especially dangerous are the games of children with fire in places hidden from the eyes of adults – at construction sites, in attics, basements, near outbuildings.
Sometimes adults have to leave their children alone for a while. In this case, before leaving home, it is necessary to entrust the supervision of the child to older children or one of the adults. It is dangerous to leave children alone in locked apartments: in the event of a fire, they cannot leave the burning room on their own. In addition, fleeing from fire and smoke, children usually hide in closets, under beds, tables. Finding children in a fire is no easy task.
We remind parents: if possible, do not leave young children alone at home unattended, remove matches, lighters and other flammable items from a prominent place out of the reach of children. Be sure to have a conversation with the children on the well-known topic “Matches are not a toy for children”, and also explain the rules for the safe handling of household electrical appliances and gas equipment. Tell us what the consequences of a fire are, what are the ways of evacuation in case of any emergency.
Tell the children that the most precious thing is life. Therefore, in the event of a fire, the child needs to: leave the dangerous premises as soon as possible and notify adults about the incident. And, of course, memorize the emergency phone numbers with the children:
– 01 – fire brigade;
– 02 – police;
– 03 – emergency medical service;
– 04 – emergency gas service.
– or “112” – where the dispatcher will redirect your call to the correct service.
Dear parents, think about it: do you devote enough time to your child, did you explain to him the danger of playing with fire? Where and how children spend their leisure time, with whom they make friends, what games they are fond of – in order to avoid tragedy, all these issues should be the subject of constant attention of adults. The task of parents is to ensure the safety of the child and teach him the rules of his own safety.
And besides, dear adults, be an example for your children in the safe handling of fire!
Symbol%ee-ee ee t-family:Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family:Symbol’>- It is forbidden to touch with wet hands turned on devices, etc.
Children can be seriously injured by sticking fingers or objects into electrical outlets; they must be covered to prevent electric shock. Electric wires should be out of the reach of children – exposed wires are especially dangerous for them.
Electric shock can cause a person to burn, lose consciousness, and stop breathing and heartbeat. If a person is struck by an electric current, you must immediately call an ambulance. Before she arrives, there are some things you need to do. Before touching the victim, you should immediately release him from contact with electric current (unplug the appliance from the socket, turn off the machine in the electrical panel, remove the electrical wire from the victim with a stick). Do not touch the open parts of the victim’s body with your hands! It is preliminary recommended to put on rubber or dry woolen gloves or wrap your hands with a dry cloth, put on rubber shoes, stand on a dry board.
Building mind, body, and Christian character in partnership with families to bring out the best in each child.
Childhood is a world of wonder and discovery. Children need an environment rich in experiences, play, education and the influence of many different people. They need a place of their own where they can feel secure, valued, and special. In conjunction with training each child’s mind Kids Junction is a Preschool Learning Center that teaches the basics of Christian morals and character.
We wish to cultivate a partnership with each family to accomplish educational and training goals with their child/ren.
“Character First Curriculum,” by the Character Training Institute of Oklahoma City is an integral part of our program which helps children develop in areas of character, health, respect, knowledge and wisdom. It has two foundational principles
Character is more caught than taught; therefore, it is very important that the person teaching character to our children is also a model of good character.
We praise character above achievement. As character is praised, children are motivated to develop strong character qualities in their lives.
We accept children regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, creed, political persuasion, ancestry, handicapping condition or age if an opening is available in the requested age group. Children are accepted between the ages of 6 weeks through 14 years old.

Your Preschooler’s Day
Morning Circle
The preschool day begins promptly at 9:00am. All the children in the preschool classroom meet by the morning circle wall to begin their day. Here, your preschooler is exposed to man different routines designed to increase her oral vocabulary, social and verbal interaction skills, and her ability to actively participate in group activities.
Every day your child will participate in challenging routines, like:
Kid Count Here, your child will count the children that are present for the day. She will learn math concepts like counting and comparison.
Daily Weather. Each preschool, pre-kindergarten and kindergarten classroom has a “weather journalist” for the day-one child who helps discuss the weather and how we prepare for it.
Calendar. A calendar helper helps determine what day it is, what month it is, the number of days that have passed in the month, that are left in the month, etc.
Helpful Helpers. Preschool children are excited to help out during classroom routines. Children are randomly selected to be the classroom helper for the week. Jobs include attendance, snack helper, lunch helper, etc.
Character Counts. Monthly the children will learn about a specific character trait and it will be discussed during Morning Circle Time.
Learning Centers
Throughout the day your preschooler will participate in different learning center activities of her choice. There are over 50 learning center activities and each activity is tied to a specific learning objective. So whether he is listening to a recording in the listening center or creating wonderful art in the writing center, your preschooler is learning a new concept, being assessed and mastering the objective tied to that specific learning activity. Remember, our teachers create lessons with specific purposes in mind. All activities are carefully selected for its ability to engage and teach your child in a fun and exciting way.
Small Group Time
While some children “play” in different learning centers throughout the classroom, the preschool teacher works with other children in small groups to extend the learning experience. These small groups allow the teacher to provide individual attention and instruction to each child ensuring that each child is successfully meeting and/or exceeding the theme-based learning objectives.
Outdoor Play (Gross Motor Development)

Lunch and Rest/Quiet Time
Lunch is served family style in our power play zone. Children assist in lunch preparation and clean up. After lunch the children have an opportunity to wind down during Rest/Quiet Time. Each child has their own mat that they may rest or sleep on. If a child does not fall asleep after 30 minutes of quiet time, complete a puzzle or read a book quietly.
Music & Movement
Get up and dance! This is a great time during the day for your child to get active, learn fun new songs, stretch, crawl, dance and expand her vocabulary. Ask your child what fun, new song she learned this week!
Closing Circle Time
After more outside play the children come in to enjoy Closing Circle Time. At the conclusion of the day, our preschool children meet in a large group to discuss what they learned during the day. It is here that the children wrap up learning concepts, review what they’ve learned, share precious artwork and look ahead for what tomorrow has in store.

Growing bodies need exercise to be able to move well and get stronger. An indoor play area is fully equipped with a “little gym,” complete with a treadmill and exercise bike. The center offers many types of physical exercise and active play, as well as yoga every day. Creating an active routine means your child can get their body moving, burn off extra energy, and benefit from the clear thinking, calm, and focus that exercise brings into their day-to-day.
Getting Fresh Air with Outdoor Play Every Day
Getting outside for fresh air is something the children look forward to doing and is an essential part of their day. Weather permitting, children spend at least 20 minutes and up to an hour outside each day on our beautiful play structure or outdoor bike path. Pre-schoolers spend time in our outdoor garden learning to plant, grow and harvest vegetables as part of our Early Sprouts curriculum. Getting fresh air is invigorating for both mind and body.
Parents Love The Brightwheel™ Communication App for Constant Updates
Parents rave about the Brightwheel™ parent communication app. Use it to stay in touch with our teachers, stay updated on your child’s daily routine and receive videos and pictures to see what a great day your child is having. Brightwheel is also crucial in tracking and communicating your child’s development, so parents and teachers work together to meet a child’s specific needs.
Children Practice Kindness in Action with Community Involvement
Our school partners with the Easter Seals, where people with physical and cognitive disabilities spend time in the classroom, reading and helping with projects. This gives children visibility and exposure to people with different abilities. As part of a culture of gratitude, children participate in three different community projects throughout the year to help those in need. This fosters a sense of community for our kids, as well as the joy of accomplishment and giving.
A Super-Clean And Healthy Environment Promotes Calmness
Teachers are mindful that a clean and tidy space facilitates calm and learning, and that organization lends to your child’s sense of peace and order. They stick to a rigorous cleaning schedule, which also safeguards your child’s health. While the younger children nap, toys are sanitized and at the end of each day, floors are mopped and work surfaces are thoroughly wiped down. In addition to our daily cleaning routine, we hire a cleaning service to deep clean our school every weekend.
Teachers Understand Your Child’s Needs Through Observation
Teachers get to know your child and take into consideration their personal pace and level of development. With a combination of loving care and early childhood education expertise, our teachers create lesson plans and make thoughtful observations of your child’s progress. By understanding your child’s personality and learning style, our teachers can be sensitive to and cater to exactly what it is your child needs to learn and grow.
Parenting Resources And A Lending Library Provide Support
The center supports your child’s education beyond the classroom with a lending library, so you can read a variety of books to your child at home. Speak with teachers about any concerns you may have, or take a peek at our parent resource library, where you can find information about parenting techniques, community activities, and other parent resources. Teachers and staff are always available should you need any extra support for your family.
A Solid Community That Aides foster parents
The center’s Foster Kids Program understands and supports the complex and rewarding relationships between children and their caregivers, both at home and at school. Highly trained professionals provide support for families to help provide children with a structured, nurturing environment for optimal growth. The Foster Kids Program has priority enrollment and all non-state covered fees are waived for you.

Valley Kids Learning Center — Curriculum
Valley Kids Learning Center embraces the fact that play can help a child learn. It positively supports children’s social, emotional, physical, cognitive, language, and literacy skills, and is essential to a child’s overall healthy development. When children play, it helps the child learn life-coping and social skills such as turn-taking, collaboration, following rules, empathy, and motivation. With that in mind as a childcare center, we encourage all children to participate in a variety of activities, both indoors and outdoors, on a daily basis. We believe that this approach, coupled with an age-appropriate curriculum will prepare a child for life in a global environment. Nurturing and responsive teachers will help develop each child’s highest potential through a theme-based curriculum that focuses on literacy, math, science, music and creative play.
INfants | 6 weeks – 11 months
Baby Signs® – The Baby Signs® Program helps children develop both language and cognitive skills. Studies show that babies who sign actually develop speech sooner and have larger vocabularies when they do start talking. Babies can learn and use simple hand gestures, or sign language, to communicate what they need, what they want or what they see. This basic ability to communicate before talking gives babies a great boost to their self-esteem, helps parents and caregivers appreciate the intelligence of their babies, and can dramatically reduce the frustration that parents and babies experience when communication is difficult.
Developmental Milestones – One of our main focuses in the Infant classroom is monitoring and celebrating each child’s progress with their developmental milestones. A developmental milestone is an action that is commonly achieved and practiced by a child at a certain age. These actions are encouraged in each infant as is appropriate for their age level, such as: tummy time, holding head unsupported, rolling from tummy to back, rolling from back to tummy, sitting without support, crawling, and standing unsupported.

Municipal Preschool Educational Institution No. 16,0002
8 is a way of organizing training, which is carried out in a certain order and mode.
Different shapes:
according to the number of participants;
the nature of the interaction between them;
ways of activity;
venue.
Our kindergarten uses frontal, group, individual forms of organized education, development and training.
Individual form of organization of education makes it possible to individualize education (content, methods, means), but requires a lot of nerve costs from the child; creates emotional discomfort; uneconomical training; limiting cooperation with other children.
Group form of organization of training (individual-collective). The group is divided into subgroups. The bases for a complete set: personal sympathy, common interests, but not on levels of development. At the same time, it is important for the teacher, first of all, to ensure the interaction of children in the process of development and learning.
Frontal form of organization of training . Work with the whole group, a clear schedule, a single content. At the same time, the content of training in frontal classes can be activities: both cognitive and speech in nature, and artistically productive. The advantages of this form of education are a clear organizational structure, simple management, the possibility of interaction between children, the cost-effectiveness of education; The disadvantage is the difficulty in individualizing learning.
The main form of organization of development and learning in our preschool educational institution is organized educational activities (OOE). Organized educational activities are organized and conducted by teachers in accordance with the main general educational program of the preschool educational institution and the recommendations of the Federal State Educational Standard. OOD are held with children of all age groups of the kindergarten. In the daily routine of each group, the time of the OOD is determined in accordance with the “Sanitary and epidemiological requirements for the device, content and organization of the working hours of preschool educational organizations”.
Organized educational activities are organized in all areas of educational work with children: familiarization with others, speech development, musical education, fine arts, design, the formation of elementary mathematical concepts, physical culture, etc.
educational activity stands out three main parts.
First part – introducing children to the topic of the lesson, setting goals, explaining what children should do.
The second part of is the independent activity of children to fulfill the task of the teacher or the plan of the child himself.
The third part of is the analysis of the performance of the task and its evaluation.
Requirements for organizing organized educational activities
Hygiene requirements:
directly educational activities are carried out in a clean, ventilated, well-lit room;
educator, constantly monitors the correct posture of the child;
does not allow children to overwork in the classroom;
provides for the alternation of various types of children’s activities not only in different classes, but also during one lesson.
Didactic requirements:
precise definition of the educational tasks of GCD, its place in the general system of educational activities;
creative use of all didactic principles in unity when conducting GCD;
determine the optimal content of GCD in accordance with the program and the level of training of children;
choose the most rational methods and techniques of teaching, depending on the didactic goal of GCD;
ensure the cognitive activity of children and the developmental nature of GCD, rationally correlate verbal, visual and practical methods with the purpose of the lesson;
use didactic games for learning purposes (board-printed games, games with objects, plot-didactic and dramatization games, verbal and game techniques, didactic material;
systematically monitor the quality of children’s assimilation of cognitive material (knowledge, skills and abilities).
Organizational requirements
have a well-thought-out plan for conducting GCD;
clearly define the purpose and didactic tasks of GCD;
competently select and rationally use various teaching aids, including TCO, ICT;
to maintain the necessary discipline and organization of children during the GCD.
conduct GCD in a playful way, because in the game, the child to a greater extent masters the ways of communication, masters human relations.
GCD in a preschool educational institution should not be carried out according to school technologies, but should be organized as a planned GCD in the morning and evening in a playful way, in regime moments, in the play and creative activities of children.
GCD should be carried out in a certain system, connected with the daily life of children (knowledge gained in the classroom is used in free activities.).
when organizing the learning process, the integration of content is useful, which allows you to make the learning process meaningful, interesting for children and contributes to the effectiveness of development. To this end, integrated and comprehensive classes are held.

Integrated upbringing and education of children with developmental disabilities / Almanac No. 11 / Archive / Almanac of the Institute of Correctional Pedagogy
New forms of educational integration Long-term experimental work has proved that combined educational institutions have the most adequate conditions for carrying out purposeful work on the integration of children with developmental disabilities – institutions that include both ordinary and special preschool groups and school classes . Under these conditions, it becomes possible to effectively integrate all children with developmental disabilities, taking into account the level of development of each child, choosing a useful and possible “share” of integration for him, i.e. one of her models. Consider the functioning of models of integrated education and training on the example of a preschool institution of a combined type, where they can be created:
Ordinary groups, where the vast majority of normally developing children.
Special groups where only children with developmental disabilities are brought up and educated (group size is from 6 to 10 children, depending on age, the nature of the disorder, its severity, the presence of children with a complex defect structure).
Mixed groups, where normally developing children (two-thirds) and children with a certain developmental disability (no more than one-third) are brought up and educated at the same time. At the same time, the total occupancy of the group is reduced to 12-15 people, and the teacher of the mixed group is necessarily a defectologist.
In the usual group of a preschool and combined type, 1 – maximum 2 children with diagnosed primary developmental disorders (hearing, or vision, or musculoskeletal disorders) can be raised and educated, but who have reached the level development close to the age norm, or corresponding to it. The teacher may be a specialist in teaching normally developing children. A defectologist teacher (from a special group of the same institution) provides specialized assistance to integrated children, as well as advisory assistance to group educators who are not defectologists. In special groups where only children with developmental disabilities are raised and educated, it becomes possible to find for each child a useful and possible degree of integration for him, choosing partial or temporary integration. Consider what partial and temporal integration are.
With partial integration, children with developmental disabilities in a special group, who are not yet able to master the necessary skills and abilities along with their normally developing peers, join ordinary groups of 1-2 people for part of the day (for example, for the second half) or separate lessons. The meaning of this integration is to expand the communication of children with developmental disabilities with their normally developing peers. In other words, partial integration is an attempt to purposefully expand the already existing, but still relatively small opportunities for children in the field of social integration.
Team up with their normally developing peers. This happens at least 2 times a month for joint educational activities. The main meaning of temporal integration is the creation of conditions for acquiring the initial experience of communication with normally developing peers.
In mixed groups, special conditions are created for the early, full-fledged social and educational integration of a significant number of children with developmental disabilities. In addition, in mixed groups, children who do not have pronounced primary developmental disabilities, but who experience persistent learning difficulties for other reasons, can receive the necessary special pedagogical support.
We emphasize that in a preschool institution of a combined type, educators of a mass kindergarten work in ordinary groups, and in a mixed and special one – a teacher-defectologist and educators. At the same time, the teacher-defectologist of the special group additionally provides assistance to children with developmental disabilities from the regular group.
Thus, the described model of a combined institution makes it possible to provide children with special assistance and give the opportunity for integration to all children with severe developmental disabilities. At the same time, each child receives that “share” of integration that is useful and accessible to him at a given stage of his development (the systems of mass and special education, of course, having their own advantages, cannot provide such individually dosed integration for each child).
It is no less important that in a combined institution, ordinary normally developing children, integrating from an early age with children who are unlike them, gradually realize that the world is a single community of people, including those who need special support, help from their side.
The described model of a combined preschool institution is not a dream of the distant future. Similar kindergartens have already been created, and not only in the capital, but also in remote regions of Russia. And mixed groups began to appear not only in Moscow, but also in other subjects of the Federation.
Moscow preschool institutions, where mixed groups are open, are experimental sites of the Institute of Correctional Pedagogy of the Russian Academy of Education. These are GOU No. 1365 of the South-Eastern District, No. 1513 of the Southern District, No. 1537 of the North-Eastern District. And the first “graduates” of children from mixed groups already indicate that the proposed model “fits” into today’s Russian life. And this happens because the process of integration is not opposed to special education.
Noteworthy is the experience of creating a mixed group when identifying among the pupils of the usual group of children lagging behind in development from the age norm. In the course of a screening examination of pupils of the pre-preschool group of the preschool educational institution No. 1537 of the North-Eastern District of Moscow (supervisor Strebeleva E.A. ), 8 children lagging behind in development were identified. These children, after a comprehensive medical-psychological-pedagogical examination, nevertheless, were left in the previous group, but the institution, as part of the experimental work, was allocated the position of a teacher-defectologist, who began to carry out purposeful corrective work with lagging children individually and in a small group – for 2-3 people.
In the course of training, it was found that the effectiveness of remedial classes increases if not only problem children, but also normally developing preschoolers take part in them. By the middle of the third year of education, half of the children who were lagging behind in development at the beginning of education (the third year of life) were as close as possible to the age norm (to five-year-old children). The second half of these children showed significant dynamics in psychophysical development, although the lag in speech activity had not yet been overcome. By the end of their stay in the kindergarten, all the children were prepared to study in a public school; they have now successfully moved on to high school.
Since 1994, in GOU No. 1365 of the South-Eastern District and GOU No. 1513 of the Southern District of Moscow, within the framework of the district experimental site, experimental work has been carried out to integrate children with hearing impairments into a team of hearing peers. The experience of introducing children with hearing impairments into a group of hearing peers, accumulated over more than 10 years of work, shows that the implementation of the described integration models implies the obligatory guidance of this process by a teacher-defectologist, who helps mass teachers in organizing the upbringing and education of a child with developmental disabilities in a group of hearing peers.
Work on the integration of children with hearing impairments is carried out here using different models.
Experience shows that the most comfortable for the child is his inclusion in the group of hearing peers from the first days of his stay in the institution. Otherwise, there is a certain psychological discomfort.
The child is brought up in a special group, in which his own team, his own microclimate, takes his own special place in it, as a rule, the place of a leader. When a child enters a new children’s community for him, living according to his own laws, he experiences significant difficulties not only due to the peculiarities of his development, but also due to his “special” status – the status of a “stranger” who came from another group. .
If a deaf child has a high level of psychophysical and speech development and is subsequently constantly brought up in a group of hearing children, then this discomfort is gradually overcome. But the majority of pupils of the special group, due to the severity of the violation, cannot participate equally in classes with hearing children and attend the mass group only part of the day (partial integration). In this case, it turns out to be quite difficult to introduce the child into a group of hearing peers: for him, a special group remains his “native” community.
Given these facts, the development of a new integration model was started – a model of a mixed group, in which children with normal and impaired hearing are brought up together from the first days of their stay in a preschool institution (regardless of the level of speech development of the latter). At the same time, it was important for us to provide comfortable conditions for the development of both those and other preschoolers.
To solve this problem, as practice shows, the ratio of normally hearing and deaf children should not exceed 2:1, while it is necessary to reduce the total number of children in the group, for example, combine 8 normal hearing and 4 hearing impaired children or 10 and 5, respectively children. It is not practical to simply add a group of deaf children (6-8 people) to a regular preschool group attended by 20 hearing children. In this case, the conditions for the upbringing and correctional education of children with both normal and impaired hearing deteriorate sharply.
It is also desirable to complete groups with deaf children who do not have additional deviations in development and have a similar level of general and speech development. In the same case, when children who do not yet own phrase speech (and even more so who do not speak) are placed in a group, their number should not exceed 4 people. If the group is completed with hearing-impaired and deaf children with extended phrasal speech, then there can be 5 people and they are included in the group of larger occupancy – only 15 children, not 8 people.
An analysis of the results of many years of experimental work has shown that the effectiveness of the integration of children with hearing impairment into a group of normally hearing preschool children largely depends on the individualization of corrective assistance to preschool children with hearing impairment. The need for an individual approach is also due to the fundamental change in recent years of the contingent of children with hearing impairments brought up in preschool institutions, its increasing heterogeneity, arising due to the inclusion in it of:
children after cochlear implantation,
preschool children, correctional work with which was started in the first months of their life,
increase in the number of children with hearing impairment, including infants and young children, brought up at home.
Two educators and a defectologist teacher work in a mixed group to solve special problems and implement an individual approach. The deaf teacher in the first half of the day conducts frontal and individual classes on the development of speech, auditory perception and teaching the pronunciation of preschool children with hearing impairment. If the level of speech development of deaf children allows, then classes on the formation of elementary mathematical representations are organized together with hearing children. Children with normal hearing, who have certain pronunciation disorders, are united with children with hearing impairment in speech rhythm classes.
Educators in the first half of the day are mainly engaged with hearing children, and in the second half – with the whole group of children: playing, designing, visual activities. In music and physical education classes, children also work as a group, but additional music classes are also held with deaf preschoolers – individually or in a small group.
Teacher-defectologist helps educators to properly organize work with the whole group, introduces them to the techniques and methods of teaching children with hearing impairment. Written speech (tablets) is widely used in the classroom, the teacher pays special attention to the mastery of deaf children not only skills and abilities, but also to the assimilation of speech means that serve this or that activity of children.
It has also been shown that it is advisable to include hearing children with learning difficulties that are not related to developmental disabilities, for example, children of deaf parents, children from bilingual families, children from families of refugees and internally displaced persons, in a mixed group. In such a group, they receive the individual assistance they need, including a defectologist teacher. The reduced size of the group also contributes to the success of their upbringing.
Constant communication with hearing children has a positive effect on the consolidation of speech skills of preschool children with hearing impairment. There is a significant activation of their oral speech. In addition, a decrease in the number of children with hearing impairment contributes to the intensification of remedial education, its greater individualization and higher efficiency.
Evidence of the effectiveness of integration provided by special support is the results of preschool education and upbringing not only of children with developmental disabilities, but also of their normally developing “classmates”, as well as the position of the parents of the latter. If even “yesterday” the leaders and specialists of these educational institutions had to persuade the parents of normally developing children, then “today” they no longer object, and many even seek to send their child to such a group.
Mixed groups proved attractive to parents of hearing children. Only their primary recruitment was associated with significant difficulties: the parents of hearing children, under various pretexts, refused to place their son or daughter in them (even if during the entire previous year their child attended a nursery group in which two children with hearing impairment were brought up) . At first, we had to staff the groups with newly entering kindergarten children, but now we have a “competitive selection”.
Parents saw the advantages of a small group, appreciated the work of a teacher-defectologist and educators with their children, especially with those who have certain difficulties, realized the “normality” of children with hearing impairment. Now it is the parents themselves who initiate the preservation of the mixed group or the opening of a new one. It was noted that targeted work on the integration of children with hearing impairment not only creates favorable conditions for the development of deaf and hard of hearing preschoolers, but also enriches the social and emotional development of hearing children.
The experience of the first mixed groups was highly appreciated by the organizers of education and teachers-defectologists during visits to institutions in the framework of the international scientific and practical conference on the problems of integrated education (January 2001). Based on the activities of the first groups, a methodological letter was developed by the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation “On the integrated upbringing and education of children with developmental disabilities in preschool educational institutions” (03-51-5 in / 23-03 of 15.01.02.), which recommended the opening mixed groups for children with various developmental disabilities and disclosed the legal basis for their organization. In this regard, there is an urgent need to expand experimental work in this direction.
As already noted, in the course of experimental work, various models of integrated education of preschool children were developed and tested. The organization of integrated education for schoolchildren with developmental disabilities is the next stage in the modernization of the system of special education.
Models of integrated education for preschoolers cannot be mechanically transferred to the organization of integrated education for schoolchildren. This is due to age characteristics, the compulsory and qualifying nature of the education of school education, its different periods for normally developing children and schoolchildren with developmental disabilities (for example, normally hearing children receive basic compulsory education for 9years, and hearing-impaired students of the 2nd department – for 10-11 years).
At the same time, taking into account the experience of experimental work with kindergartens, allowed us to confidently assume that for schoolchildren with developmental disabilities, the softest, most flexible, useful integration model would be a combined type of school institution with classes for normally developing children and children with certain developmental deviation. Under these conditions, it will be possible to preserve for each disabled child the correctional assistance guaranteed by the state in full and ensure both social and educational integration, taking into account the level of development of each individual child.
In this regard, with the support of the Department of Education of the Eastern District of Moscow, in 2004 an experiment was launched to create a boarding school “Integration” on the basis of a boarding school for hard of hearing and late deaf children No. 10. In the course of experimental work, for the first time not only in Moscow, but also in Russia, the development of a pilot model of a fundamentally new educational institution – a combined school – has begun.
The experiment provides conditions for a gradual planned integration, in which hearing students from the first to third grades are first poured into a special school, and then they are added one first grade each school year. This allows for 6-7 years to turn a special school into a combined institution with classes of the 2nd department for hearing-impaired children and with primary and secondary school classes for hearing children.
By September 1, 2006, children with normal hearing are already in grades 1-4. Classes for normally hearing schoolchildren also include children with hearing impairments who have a high level of general and speech development and are ready to master the mass school curriculum.
Carrying out targeted work to integrate schoolchildren with hearing impairments into the team of their hearing peers requires reducing the number of hearing children in classes to provide deaf schoolchildren with optimal conditions for speech perception using individual hearing aids, since it is extremely difficult to understand the speech of children who speak at the same time. Reduced occupancy of classes for hearing children is an essential condition for organizing their joint learning activities with deaf students. All these children are provided with systematic correctional assistance from deaf teachers.
Thus, on the basis of boarding school for hard of hearing and late deaf children No. 10 “Integration” of the Eastern District of Moscow, purposeful work is being carried out to integrate children with normal and impaired hearing, to create a single children’s team, a single educational space.
The search for models of integrated education for children with various developmental disabilities (including those with intellectual disabilities) continues. Of particular interest, from our point of view, is the experience of organizing “flexible classes”, proposed by L.E. Shevchuk and E.V. Reznikova (Chelyabinsk). On the basis of a general education school, the authors tested a model of integrated education for children with mental retardation and non-aggravated mental retardation. Schoolchildren with developmental disabilities in those lessons and extracurricular activities that are available to them, are engaged together with normally developing children. Another part of the classes is organized for them according to special correctional programs in a “flexible class”, which unites children with mental retardation or mental retardation from different classes of the same parallel (from the first or second classes, etc.).
Integration of children with special needs in mainstream educational institutions
In addition to traditional special institutions and institutions of a combined type, the absolute majority of educational institutions of a general type (for normally developing children) operate in the educational space. In these institutions, a model of full integration can be implemented.
In our opinion, such a model can be effective only for children who, in terms of the level of psychophysical and speech development, correspond to the age norm and are psychologically ready for joint learning with healthy peers. Such children, 1-2 people each, are included in the usual kindergarten groups or school classes at the place of residence. At the same time, they must receive corrective assistance, and their teachers should be able to receive methodological assistance from defectologist teachers.
Such assistance can be arranged:
in a public kindergarten or school where the child is studying (for example, children with speech impairments in the speech center of a children’s institution),
in the short stay group of a special kindergarten or school,
in a variety of rehabilitation centers (for example, children with hearing impairment in the audiology rooms of the health system).
One of the most difficult problems of organizing this model of full integration is to provide conditions for receiving correctional assistance to each child with a developmental disability, integrated into a mass institution, his psychological, pedagogical and social support and the provision of methodological assistance to teachers teaching him.
The first, most general methodological recommendations for teachers of mass children’s institutions, in which children with hearing, vision, and musculoskeletal disorders study, have been prepared.
For cities and other localities that do not have combined or special (correctional) educational institutions, a special form of full integration may be effective. So children with a certain developmental disability (for example, with hearing, or vision, or musculoskeletal disorders), who have a high level of psychophysical and speech development, can be sent to one mass institution (kindergarten or school), but in accordance with their age in different groups and classes. At the same time, there should not be more than two children with developmental disabilities in one class (group). This children’s institution is allocated the position of a teacher-defectologist (if there are 6-10 problem children in a mass kindergarten or school). He conducts systematic remedial classes (individual or small groups) with children with developmental disabilities, attends classes in mass groups (classes), helping to organize the education and upbringing of a special child in a team of healthy children.
Attitude of parents and teachers towards integrated learning
Expansion of the experience of joint learning, giving it a stable trend is not possible without an in-depth study of the attitude towards integration of the participants in this process and, first of all, parents of normally developing children and children with developmental disabilities, as well as teachers of mass, combined and special institutions.
In connection with this method of questioning, a study was conducted aimed at studying the attitude to integration, to its various models of teachers and parents of mass, special and combined institutions.
In order to study the attitude of teachers and parents to various aspects of educational integration, to the existing and new forms of teaching children with hearing impairment, a special study was conducted using the questionnaire survey method.
Five types of questionnaires were developed: for teachers of mass, combined (with groups and classes for children with hearing impairments) and special institutions, for parents of hearing and deaf children. A total of 616 people were interviewed. Data on the number of respondents are presented in Table 1.

An analysis of the attitude of parents to the opportunities for joint education of children with normal and impaired hearing showed the following.
While the parents of deaf children are quite familiar with the fact that their children can be educated and brought up together with hearing peers, the parents of hearing children are mostly aware of this process only if their children are educated in combined institutions. So they answered positively in 77.5%, while the parents of children attending mass institutions – only in 25% of cases.
Parents generally have a positive attitude towards the possibility of joint education of children with normal and impaired hearing: only 8-11% are against such education. However, more than a third of parents find it difficult to express their attitude to the problem of integrated education. This is due to their low awareness, the novelty of the process, and the presence or absence of experience in teaching a particular child in terms of integration.

The position of parents of hearing children in relation to integration is largely determined by which institution (mass or combined) or which group (mixed or mass) their child attends. More positively and in general to integration, and to its various forms (full integration, mixed group) are parents whose children attend combined institutions, and especially those whose children are brought up in mixed groups.
The attitude of parents of deaf children to integrated learning is determined, first of all, by the capabilities of their child and depends on the state of his hearing and speech, as well as on the state of hearing of the parents themselves. Thus, the number of parents who positively assess joint learning is gradually decreasing in relation to children with minor, severe hearing loss and deafness: from 41% to 31%. This trend is even more pronounced in relation to the level of speech development of children. The worse the child speaks, the fewer parents positively assess integrated learning: the percentage drops from 41% to 20%.
Of particular interest to us was a comparison of the attitude towards integration of parents of deaf children with normal and impaired hearing.
The position of parents of hearing children in relation to integration is largely determined by which institution (mass or combined) or which group (mixed or mass) their child attends. More positively and in general towards integration, and its various forms (full integration, mixed group) are parents whose children attend combined institutions, and especially those whose children are brought up in mixed groups
(see graph 1).
Schedule 1.
The attitude of parents of deaf children to integrated learning is determined, first of all, by the capabilities of their child and depends on the state of his hearing and speech, as well as on the state of hearing of the parents themselves. Thus, the number of parents who positively assess joint learning is gradually decreasing in relation to children with minor, severe hearing loss and deafness: from 41% to 31%. This trend is even more pronounced in relation to the level of speech development of children. The worse the child speaks, the fewer parents positively assess integrated learning: the percentage drops from 41% to 20%.
Of particular interest to us was a comparison of the attitude towards integration of parents of deaf children with normal and impaired hearing (Figure 2).
Schedule 2.
As can be seen from the graph, parents with normal hearing are more positive about co-education: they rate it positively in 41% of cases, and parents with hearing impairment – in 32. 2%; Hearing parents are less likely to have negative attitudes (9.4% versus 15%). At the same time, almost half of both hearing and deaf parents (42.9% and 39%, respectively) find it difficult to express their attitude towards integration, which indicates their certain wariness. Only those parents whose children study in a mass school have no doubts: they are unequivocally in favor of integration.
If the positive attitude of the majority of hearing parents towards the integrated education of their deaf children could be confidently assumed, then such a positive attitude of deaf parents towards integration can be attributed to the results of purposeful work carried out in recent decades to organize joint education of children with normal and impaired hearing. It is known that the main opponents of integrated learning were deaf parents, the more encouraging were the identified positive changes in their position.
When evaluating the two forms of integration, the parents of hearing children consider the model of full integration to be the most effective, and the parents of deaf children – upbringing and education in mixed preschool groups. These forms of integration are most appreciated by parents whose children study in conditions of full and combined integration or in mixed groups.
The agreement of almost 80% of parents of hearing children and 95% of parents of deaf children to have their child educated in a mixed group only confirms the fact that such a group is currently a form of education that satisfies most parents.
The study of the attitude of teachers to integrated learning allows us to draw some preliminary conclusions that need to be clarified in the process of questioning a significantly larger number of teachers working in mass and special education.
A fairly high awareness of teachers about the possibility of integrated learning was revealed: 2/3 of the respondents answered positively. At the same time, the greatest awareness, naturally, was shown by teachers working with deaf children, as well as mass teachers of combined institutions.
In general, teachers have a positive attitude towards co-education of children with normal and impaired hearing. The data are presented in table 3.

As can be seen from the table, among mass teachers, the most positive attitude towards integrated learning is noted among those teachers and educators who work in combined institutions (including deaf teachers), that is, among those who are already involved in the integration process. They consider this form of education for preschoolers effective or possible in 86% – 92% of cases. Teachers of mass institutions are more wary of integrated learning: up to a quarter of them find it difficult to answer, they more often note the effectiveness of integration only in individual cases.
A special position is occupied by teachers of special institutions: among them, the largest number of opponents of joint education: 25% of teachers in relation to the integration of preschoolers and 13% – schoolchildren; they consider integrated learning to be effective, as a rule, only in individual cases. At the same time, their attitude towards integration turns out to be diametrically opposed to the position of deaf teachers and educators working with deaf children in the conditions of a combined kindergarten or school (Figure 3).
Graph 3. The identified features in relation to integration were most clearly manifested in the assessment by parents and teachers of the effectiveness of raising and educating children in a mixed preschool group. Data are presented in table 4.

Most teachers of mass and combined institutions (including teachers of special groups and classes) have a positive attitude towards it (65-73% of teachers), and specialists working in a correctional institution are extremely wary: 17% of teachers are in favor, 50 are against %.
Teachers’ support for integrated learning was also manifested in the fact that those who work in mass and combined institutions generally recommend parents to teach children in conditions of integration: in a mass preschool group (class), in a mixed group, in a special group (class ) mass institution. But here, too, the position of teachers in special institutions is different: in most cases, they recommend teaching the child in a special kindergarten or school.
Comparison of the positions of teachers and parents in relation to integrated education showed that, in general, parents (both of hearing and deaf children) are somewhat more wary than teachers of mass and combined institutions, but much more positively than specialists of a correctional institution.
Thus, the conducted research allows us to draw the following conclusion: teachers of combined institutions, as well as parents of hearing and deaf children studying in them, are much more positive about integrated learning. The specialists working in a special institution are most negative towards integrated learning. At the same time, parents of deaf children who are brought up in a special kindergarten or school have a much more positive attitude towards integration than teachers.
This is due to the fact that teachers who teach children in a special institution, on the one hand, know little about the results of teaching children in conditions of integration, and on the other hand, they often face the negative experience of unorganized integration. Teachers of special institutions repeatedly accepted non-speaking children who had been in mass preschool or school institutions for several years.
At the same time, such a striking difference in the attitude towards integrated learning among teachers of special kindergartens and schools from the position of teachers and educators of mass and combined institutions and parents of deaf children, including those brought up in their institution, should alert specialists. It is necessary to think over measures that will involve special institutions to a greater extent in the process of integration, in particular through psychological and pedagogical support for children attending mass kindergartens and schools, through providing them with corrective assistance, through helping teachers of mass institutions in teaching children with hearing impairment.
The revealed difference in relation to the integration of deaf teachers working in combined and special institutions once again emphasizes the fundamentally great opportunities in organizing educational integration that are available in combined institutions, their prospects at the present stage of improving the system of special education.

But a significant number of visually impaired children are currently studying in public schools in the same classes as normally seeing students. When teaching these children, mass school teachers often encounter difficulties, which are exacerbated by ignorance of the nature and structure of visual defects, the peculiarities of mental and physical development in visual impairment. In this regard, when studying in a public school, such children do not always receive the timely assistance they need, which often leads to persistent underachievement and repetition.
To prevent learning difficulties and failures of visually impaired children, the teacher needs to know them in every way.
Versatile knowledge of the structure of visual defects, the composition of impaired vision functions, the nature of secondary deviations in physical and mental development will allow the teacher to find effective methods for teaching and educating students with various disabilities.
Teaching children with visual impairments leads to a number of practical conclusions:
First, work with visually impaired children can only be successful if it is of a medical and pedagogical nature.
Secondly, for the convenience of carrying out practical work, it is advisable to divide children with visual impairments into three classification groups with relatively common features in physical and mental development for each group: visually impaired (with a vision of 0.05-0.08, sometimes called partially
Seeing)
– visually impaired (with a vision of 0.09-0.2 (0.4) .
Students with vision 0-0.04 along with general developmental features, characteristic of all children with impaired vision, have features that distinguish them from children with visual acuity of 0.05-0.08, and even more so from children with visual acuity of 0.09-0.2 (0.4). 0.08 significantly differ in visual abilities, and in many cases in business qualities and character from children with vision 0.09-0.2 (0.4).
Children with Residual Vision
Students with residual vision can only learn using Braille and Relief Teaching Aids.
Residual vision, along with hearing and touch, can act as an additional means of perceiving the surrounding world. The presence of vision at least within the limits of counting the fingers of a person, in comparison with absolute blindness, significantly increases the possibilities of a blind person in spatial orientation, in work, study and other types of activity.
With a vision of 0.001-0.01, children are able to distinguish the shape, color and movement of objects at a distance of up to 50 cm from the eye, they can freely navigate in a familiar microspace (school, classroom, apartment, house).
With a vision of 0.01-0.04, children see the size, shape, color and movement of large objects already at a distance of up to 2 m from the eye, they can freely navigate in an unfamiliar microspace.
Blind children with residual vision studying in Braille can perform continuous visual work 1-2 times for 5 minutes per lesson. Longer use of residual vision in educational work may adversely affect the student’s performance, and in some cases may cause visual impairment.
Educators may allow children with a visual acuity of 0. 01-0.04 to look at pictures and read small texts in large print for a short period of time. At the same time, they should categorically forbid the reading of embossed dotted font with the eyes.
Partially seeing and visually impaired children
The teacher should be very attentive to the use of visual abilities of children with visual acuity of 0.05-0.08, who are also accepted to mass and special general education schools for the blind and visually impaired, depending on from disease prognosis. Not being blind, these children are different from visually impaired children with vision 0.09-0.2 (0.4) both in terms of the nature of the visual impairment and individual personal qualities.
In most children in this group, the cause of visual impairment is a congenital pathology, accompanied by nystagmus (involuntary, rapidly following eye movements from side to side). Nystagmus makes it difficult to fix objects and causes visual fatigue not only in academic work related to reading and writing in flat type, but also in everyday life.
The most difficult group among students with a vision of 0.05-0.08 are children with diseases of the optic nerve and retina. In combination with nystagmus, these diseases, even with a visual acuity of 0.08, make it difficult to learn using flat type.
Children with lens diseases and aphakia (lack of the lens in the eye) are a significant group. As a result of surgical treatment, distance visual acuity may increase to 0.05–0.08. But due to amblyopia (impaired vision caused by a functional disorder of the visual analyzer) and nystagmus, they have poor near vision and difficulty reading font No. 10.
special thoughtfulness. For example, children suffering from nystagmus should not be assigned work that requires concentration on small objects and prolonged eye strain. They find it difficult to rewrite long texts, etc.
Children with 0.05-0.08 vision may not always be able to learn using flat font. They experience certain difficulties in orienting in a large space, as they are able to see sizes, colors and movements only at a distance of up to 5 m; they lack deep vision. It should be remembered that for visually impaired children with visual acuity from 0.05 to 0.2, continuous visual load during the learning process should not exceed 15-20 minutes.
Children with vision 0.09-0.2 (0.4) can use letters and books in flat type in their studies, exercise self-control in the process of socially useful and productive work, freely navigate in macrospace, etc.
In the formation of adequate ideas about the objective world and, in particular, about the study of the Russian language, various visual aids are used: tables, individual cards, textbook illustrations and individual drawings, application manuals, various types of maps, a demonstration of a film fragment, a slide, a filmstrip, accompanied by the teacher’s comments , concentrate students’ attention on certain important details of the lesson, etc. Before using technical means in a lesson, the teacher himself must carefully examine the transparencies or frames of the filmstrip, thoroughly understand the content or figurative side of the visual material and take into account the main difficulties in its perception. This will make the use of visual material in the lesson more effective and rational.
Teaching blind and visually impaired children together with sighted children.
Consider the peculiarities of teaching a child with visual impairment in a group of sighted peers. In the class where such a child is located, it is desirable that there be no more than 15 students in order to ensure an individual approach to the child. First of all, it is necessary to create a psychological attitude of a blind and visually impaired student to overcome difficulties. The rest of the students should be introduced to the characteristics of the blind and visually impaired, create a friendly environment and form a good attitude towards such a student. However, actions aimed at achieving this goal must be deliberate and tactful, since excessive patronage of a new student can develop selfish attitudes in him, and a condescending attitude in the surrounding children. Children are sometimes cruel and may tease and bully a blind or visually impaired child. In a tactful manner, the teacher should explain to the students that one should not focus on the defect of a sick child, much less tease and offend him. The teacher should show many positive aspects of his blind students, for example, knowledge of a large number of poems, stories, in order to arouse respect for them from sighted students. The objectivity of the assessment should also become the norm of the teacher’s work, which will allow children with visual impairments to feel on equal terms with sighted children. When accepting a visually impaired child into his class, the teacher must carefully consider where to seat the new student. If the child has retained partial vision or is visually impaired, i.e. visual acuity is more than 0.05, and he does not have a pronounced photophobia, he should be put on the first desk, preferably in the middle row.
A totally blind child or a child with a profound visual impairment, relying on touch and hearing in his work, can work at any desk, taking into account the degree of audibility in this place. If the child does not have photophobia and needs additional lighting, the workplace should be lit with a desk lamp with a dimmer. If a student has severe photophobia, they should be seated with their back to a window or have a curtain over the window. If there is photophobia in one eye, the child should sit so that the light falls from the opposite side.
If a visually impaired child works based on vision, then the teacher, when using the board, the notes should be saturated and contrasting, the letters should be large. When writing, the teacher should use colored markers for the most important points in the recorded material, then you do not have to strain your eyesight to read the entire entry in the notebook.
One of the important tasks of a teacher is to include a blind and visually impaired student in the work of the class. At the same time, the teacher and students should remember that the rate of writing and reading of the blind and visually impaired is lower. He won’t be able to keep up with the class. In this regard, along with the Braille device, voice recorders are used, on which fragments of the lesson are recorded.
The next point is the limitation of the time of visual work. The teacher should remember this and teach the blind and visually impaired to analyze literary works by ear, highlighting only the supporting words and sentences. The speech of the teacher must be expressive and accurate, it is necessary to pronounce everything that he does, writes or draws diagrams.
In primary school, children learn to write, read, count, learn the basic rules of grammar and spelling. The possibilities of verbal communication of the visually impaired with others are not limited. In this regard, they do not observe deviations in the development of the grammatical system, in the quantitative vocabulary, however, partial loss of vision introduces some originality into the process of speech development of visually impaired children. The originality is manifested primarily in the features of the development of the phonetic and lexical side of speech. Defects in the pronunciation of visually impaired children are much more common than in normally seeing children, which leads to errors in the writing of visually impaired children. In this regard, it is recommended to use various methodological techniques that help overcome these shortcomings, for example, highlighting words, syllables from sentences, determining what sound is heard at the beginning, middle, end of a word, it is recommended to divide words into syllables in written speech, to come up with words consisting of one, two, three syllables, to make words from the loose alphabet. When writing exercises, replace and insert letters and syllables into tables with a ready-made basis. It is important to use exercises to differentiate similar sounds, to teach students to listen to their own pronunciation of words in order to highlight the indicated sounds and syllables, and many other exercises that are usually used at the initial stage of schooling.
Difficulties associated with mastering the sound composition of a word and determining the order of sounds are often found in written speech. Visual impairment often causes a violation of eye-hand coordination. Some children have a delay in the development of motor skills, which has an adverse effect on learning to write. The teacher may try to teach a visually impaired child to write in regular size letters. For this, straight letters are recommended. After overcoming the delay in the development of motor skills, extend the period of preparatory writing using copybooks, pay more attention to exercises. Violations of the sound sequence when writing words are largely due to the inferiority of the visual perception of the text. Omissions of vowels, substitutions, permutations, etc. are also associated with deficiencies in visual perception. However, not all children have shortcomings in sound analysis associated with inferiority of vision. In some of them, they are due to the underdevelopment of phonemic hearing, the inability to focus on phonemes. To overcome these difficulties, it is recommended to select individual exercises for children, taking into account their specific difficulties in mastering educational material and shortcomings in the development of vision and speech.
Children with partial atrophy of the optic nerve make more mistakes during sound analysis and synthesis, and gross phonemic errors are also noted: distortion of letters, omissions, rearrangements, adding extra letters, replacing some letters with others, etc.
In order to protect their eyesight, visually impaired people should not be given a large number of written assignments. A significant place should be occupied by the analysis of mistakes made, etc. When checking written exercises, it is not recommended to emphasize mistakes. Marginal marks should be practiced next to the corresponding line. The student himself must find the mistake made and write it out in compliance with the rules of spelling. When analyzing mistakes, children’s attention should be paid to the rule that was violated as a result of the mistake made. At the same time, they are invited to independently choose examples or exercises for this rule. Pupils of the first grade (second half of the year) with vision of 0. 1 and below, if they have great slowness and difficulties in writing, are recommended to give texts for copying that contain no more than 20 words. Grade 2 students (with the same vision) should not write off more than 30 words. Those visually impaired children who cope with the educational material should not reduce the volume of texts when copying; the exception should be students who have writing disorders or pronounced slowness.
Many visually impaired primary school students, especially those with partial atrophy of the optic nerve, have difficulties in writing (omissions, letter substitutions, etc.). In this regard, in relation to such students, an individual approach should be carried out.
The task of the teacher is to help the child develop his abilities to the required level. And if he learns to work with visually impaired students, then students learn to fully live with impaired vision.
Many blind and visually impaired children live in a family among adults and, for various reasons, have little contact with peers, unfamiliar, and even more so strangers. Communication skills are necessary for any person, but especially for a visually impaired person, since the blind and visually impaired often have to resort to the help of others, usually strangers. Therefore, the teacher faces such a correctional and educational task as teaching children to communicate.
The conditions that must be created in public schools are determined by the developmental characteristics of children with visual impairments and their ability to use the impaired visual analyzer in the learning process. Blind and visually impaired children differ greatly from each other in the state of vision, working capacity, fatigue and the speed of assimilation of the material. To a large extent, this is due to the nature of visual impairment, the origin of the defect and the personal characteristics of children.

Quiz for children with answers (7-10 years old)
I know, I know. I know how much time teachers and parents take to prepare even the simplest events.
I hope that my collection of questions will help you to have an intellectual and entertaining game in grades 2-5 on New Year’s Eve, February 23, March 8, or at the end of the school year. It’s all about clear organization, so I’ll give you some tips to make everything go as effectively as possible.
You can call the holiday in different ways: “What? Where? When?”, “Battle of Pochemuchek”, “Crystal Owlet”, “Know-It-All Marathon”, etc.
For older children there are other quiz questions with answers.
How to organize a quiz:
Create buzz around the upcoming event. If children from different classes will participate, invite the children to choose a team of experts (it would be nice to arrange a vote here), organize a group of fans, come up with a name and motto. Children should feel how honorable it is to represent the intellectual part of the class at the school tournament.
To allow multiple teams to play at the same time, hand out numbered question sheets to each table. They read the question, gave time for discussion, repeated the question, moved on to a new one. We announce the correct answers only after the assistants collect all the forms. The results can be summed up after 5-7 questions, announcing the winner of each round.
If players have difficulty listening to questions, show the text and answer options on the screen, or simply repeat the wording and prompts twice after 30 seconds.
Announce dress code for players: white shirt and bow tie for boys, nice dress for girls.
Think over the design of the gaming table. We do not need a top, but you can lay out beautiful notebooks, pens, put a flower arrangement in the center of the table.
Some questions can be blackboxed. For example, put a silk scarf as an answer about cocoons in ancient China. Or rice and fabrics in response to a question about the Japanese and coins.
Add more movement to the game by asking the players to leave the table and show exactly how the Eskimos greet each other. Or let the team demonstrate the dance of primitive people, causing rain. So much more fun!
Musical and sound design always brings the holiday to a new level. The easiest way is to use a small synthesizer with a set of ready-made sounds: signal “Attention, question”, “Applause”, “Fanfare”, etc.
Have music and tea breaks.
Immediately show the prizes: “Best Team”, “Best Player”, “Best Team Captain”
Each player should receive a small consolation prize (here is a selection of small gifts that can be given)
Take a lot of photos while discussing the issue. It turns out excellent shots with intelligent “light”)). All this is useful for a portfolio.
If there is very little time for preparation, the facilitator can open this page on the tablet and play a good game.

The love of reading is laid in elementary school and the process is long and persistent. Unfortunately, at present, children read less and less, and spend most of their time at computers or tablets playing games. There is not much school time to communicate with students, and parents have to work hard to provide for their families and children.
One of the methods to attract children 7-8 years old to read books is to conduct quizzes. They can have a different thematic focus: with questions on general education subjects, literary, mathematical and many others.

The questions can be used both by primary school teachers in preparation for class hours, and by parents while spending their leisure time with their child.

Birthday quizzes for children 8
It usually takes a lot of time for teachers and parents to organize even the smallest children’s events. At the same time, there are rarely problems with the selection of mobile contests. More often the question arises: how to persuade the children to sit quietly for a while and how to hold a quiz.
When preparing questions for a quiz, you need to take into account several important points:
Children’s age. At school age, every year matters. What is interesting to seven-year-olds may already seem boring to eight-year-olds.
Interests. Favorite games, movies, books. This is one of the most important factors in choosing questions.
Venue.
The theme of the holiday, if any. For example, it could be a birthday in the style of pirates, paw patrol or fairy tales. Then most of the questions should correspond to the given topic.
Rules of organization
In addition to preparation, the organization of the quiz itself also plays an important role. Active children are sometimes not so easy to get interested in an intellectual game. Here are some tips to help organizers meet this challenge:
The quiz needs to be buzzed before it starts. You can invite the guys to split into teams. Let them think of a name, a motto, choose a captain. Teams can take turns answering questions, and for each correct answer they will receive a token. Whoever scores the most will win.
If there are not many children at the party, then each child can play for himself. You can conduct a quiz right at the table.
Before a question, children can be asked to choose a topic. That is, all questions will have to be divided into groups. For example, animals, plants, cartoons, sports and so on. Here everything will depend on the interests of the young company.
There must be musical accompaniment. It will be boring to answer questions in silence. For quizzes, it is better to choose rhythmic tracks without words.
As a result, absolutely all participants must receive memorable prizes.
Next, let’s look at various birthday quizzes for children aged 8-12.
Funny quizzes
Children take part in funny quizzes with special pleasure. The following questions with answers are more suitable for children 8-9years.

Delicious questions
It happens that guests are very active throughout the holiday. In this case, questions at the table about food will be an excellent solution. Most likely, they will wake up the appetite in children. Such entertainment is usually enjoyed by both adults and children.
You will need to prepare a variety of foods and arrange them on plates. It should be a mixture of sweet, spicy, salty, sour. The participant will need to guess which product he was given to try (eyes must be blindfolded). Or all actions can be replaced by questions:
Question
Answer
Which product, according to Carloson, will make everyone happy?
Pies.
Warm, soft and shiny, with a crust so crispy.
Bread.
It is made of milk, but its sides are hard.
Cheese
Clear and meaty.
Jellied.
Pour into a frying pan, then bend it four times.
Damn.
Sitting on a spoon with legs dangling.
Noodles.
Questions about the birthday boy
On the birthday, the owner of the holiday deserves special attention. Therefore, you can arrange a quiz with questions about the birthday man. Let the guests show how well they know him. This game will appeal to older children (11-12 years old). Tasks can be both serious and fun. Here are sample quiz questions:
When was the birthday boy born?
What is his favorite song?
What is your favorite movie?
What does he do in his free time?
What is the name of his sister/brother?
How old is his cat/hamster/turtle?
Where did he spend last summer?
Can he swim?
What grade is he in?
Any child will love this kind of attention. And at the end of the game, it will already be possible to take out a cake with candles and make a wish.
Quiz for all
If the company is of different ages. For example, if there are children of 10 and 13 years old at the festival, then you can pick up games that will be of interest to absolutely everyone. And adults can also participate. Such entertainment should be offered in the middle of the event.
Guess the melody
The game is suitable for a company that has already met, warmed up and has fun. This quiz will require a presenter, a computer or music center and a selection of music. Songs are better to choose different genres. Let it be children’s songs from cartoons, and soundtracks from films, and popular melodies. The facilitator turns on excerpts of songs, and the players must guess the name.
Another version of the quiz is possible. All guests are divided into two or three teams (depending on their number). One word and a limited time are given. Each team must come up with as many songs as possible with a given word.
Fanty
A well-known and beloved game for all ages. And the birthday boy can be in the center of attention. The rules are as follows:
The host takes one item from each player (bracelet, pen, tie, etc.) and puts it in one box (maybe a bag, hat).
The birthday boy stands with his back to everyone and does not see what is happening.
The leader takes one thing and asks: “What should this phantom do?”
The protagonist of the celebration comes up with a task, and the participant must complete it.
Tasks can be:
Sing a funny song.
Tell a funny anecdote.
Crow 10 times.
Dance the dance of little ducklings.
Pet the cat.
Eat three sweets.
Tasks largely depend on the imagination of the host of the holiday. For each task completed, players can be given small prizes.
What? Where? When?
This will be an exciting intellectual quiz. Difficult questions, depending on the age of the guests, it is better to prepare in advance. The rules are as follows:
A question is asked and a limited time is given for reflection.
Each team discusses the answer, writes it down on paper.
The correct answer is announced, the team that guesses correctly gets a point.
Whichever team ends up with the most points wins. You can increase the number of points for especially difficult questions or for quickly writing the correct answer. The number of rounds may not be limited. And the winners must receive prizes.
When preparing a quiz for a birthday, you can consult with the child, listen to his wishes. He can tell exactly what will be of interest to him and his guests, what games they like to play and what questions they would be most interested in.

questions, answers and tips on organizing an intellectual game – Gymnasium
I know, I know. I know how much time teachers and parents take to prepare even the simplest events.
I hope that my collection of questions will help you to have an intellectual and entertaining game in grades 2-5 on New Year’s Eve, February 23, March 8, or at the end of the school year. It’s all about clear organization, so I’ll give you some tips to make everything go as effectively as possible.
You can call the holiday in different ways: “What? Where? When?”, “Battle of the Why-Checks”, “Crystal Owlet”, “Know-It-All Marathon”, etc.
How to organize a quiz:
Create buzz around the upcoming event. If children from different classes will participate, invite the children to choose a team of experts (it would be nice to arrange a vote here), organize a group of fans, come up with a name and motto. Children should feel how honorable it is to represent the intellectual part of the class at the school tournament.
To allow multiple teams to play at the same time, distribute question-numbered sheets to each table. They read the question, gave time for discussion, repeated the question, moved on to a new one. We announce the correct answers only after the assistants collect all the forms. The results can be summed up after 5-7 questions, announcing the winner of each round.
If players have difficulty listening to questions, show the text and answer options on the screen, or simply repeat the wording and prompts twice after 30 seconds.
Announce dress code for players: white shirt and bow tie for boys, nice dress for girls.
Think over the design of the gaming table. We do not need a top, but you can lay out beautiful notebooks, pens, put a flower arrangement in the center of the table.
Some questions can be blackboxed. For example, put a silk scarf as an answer about cocoons in ancient China. Or rice and fabrics in response to a question about the Japanese and coins.
Add more movement to the game: ask the players to leave the table and show exactly how the Eskimos greet each other. Or let the team demonstrate the dance of primitive people. causing rain. So much more fun!
Musical and sound design always brings the holiday to a new level. The easiest way is to use a small synthesizer with a set of ready-made sounds: “Attention, question”, “Applause”, “Fanfare”, etc.
Arrange musical and tea breaks.
Immediately show the prizes: “Best Team”, “Best Player”, “Best Team Captain”
Each player should receive a small consolation prize (here is a selection of small gifts that can be given)
Take a lot of photos while discussing the issue. It turns out excellent shots with intelligent “light”)). All this is useful for a portfolio.
If there is very little time for preparation, the facilitator can open this page on the tablet and play a good game.

Brick Castle: 20 Questions to Ask Kids
At the moment, everyone seems to be asking their kids a few seemingly simple questions and then posting the answers on social media. The answers are often cute and adorable, and they make a great keepsake to remind yourself of the little things your kids say and do that get forgotten over time. Here is a list of 20 printable questions that I shared with my 8 and 6 and a half year olds
monsters
expensive …
Q1. What is your favorite color? My 8 year old girl was very honest – purple, although some people say that this is the color of a girl. My six-year-old boy, paradoxically, chose a green color that he specifically cannot see (three of my sons are colorblind), so your guess here is no worse than mine …
2 square meters. Who’s your best friend? Mackenzie and Jack. My boys have many friends, they go to a happy school.
Q3 What is your favorite TV program? They both said “Adventure Time”. I’m happy with this answer.
Q4 What do you want to be when you grow up? My 8 year old is not sure. My six year old has wanted to be a cop for a long time and I hope he gets his wish, although the idea scares me as people seem to have less and less respect for cops all the time.
5 quarter. What car do you want to have when you grow up? My 8 year old boy said he only knows Lamborghini and I think his brother copied it. They may need to either raise their job aspirations or lower their expectations!
Q6. If you could go on vacation anywhere in the world, where would you go? My 8 year old talks about Spain, my 6 year old talks about France – more realistic dreams, hooray!
Q7. Do you want to get married one day? Both boys simply answered “Yes”. I am already looking forward to their wedding more than they will ever appreciate. I accept the idea that my children are growing up and I feel good about it.
8 sq. How many children would you like? I was very intrigued by what they said. Did they push them away from children from a large family? No Phew! They both said 2.
Q9. At what age will you become an adult? My 8 year old put in 17 18 and my 6 year old put in 20 . I think with older siblings aged 16, 17, 18 and 22 it’s exciting…it’s also impressive right!
Q10. What are you good at? My 8 year old wrote “eats”. He is truly a wonderful eater and will happily try absolutely anything. His disappointed face on the rare occasions when he doesn’t like food breaks my heart. He loves restaurant reviews more than anything. My six year old wrote “running”. It’s true, he’s a great runner. He is also the person who needs to get to the exit or panic. This combination is why we love his Watchu GPS Locator smartwatch so much.
Q11. If you had a superpower, what would it be? My 8 year old was very intelligent and wrote “to be invisible”. Awesome. I can talk about it with him for ages. My six-year-old showed that we were approaching his concentration limit by writing “Turn off the lasers.” I will make him talk about it with me for ages until he gets bored and wants to add something useful…..
Q12. If you had one wish, what would it be? Apparently enjoying the weekend, my 8 year old said “schools are closed”. My six year old showed a side I didn’t know existed by writing “to get rich.” Clearly mom needs to do a lot more of these paid posts or we need to send him up the chimneys.
Q13. What do I do at work? My 8 year old rarely misses tricks, so I wasn’t surprised when he said “Blogger”. I never realized that my six year old thought I was cool until today, I’m so proud. He said “youtuber”.
Q14. What are you afraid of? Once again my 8 year old son was very honest. He wrote “Dark”. He is afraid of the dark, they are both afraid. My six year old obviously didn’t want to directly answer this question and instead opted for a comedic response by writing his brother’s name. As cocky as it is, it’s okay for me, I would never make them talk like that, they have too many demons. I know that he is not very afraid of his brother…
Q15. What is your favorite song? My 8 year old son chose a disappointing “non” while his 6 year old brother said One Direction – not technically a song, but enough, although personally I think he prefers Little Mix or Adele. I need to get the radio back to the kitchen.
Q16. What is your favorite class at school? My 8 year old boy chose art – he loves to draw, although he is very precise, so he never finishes anything during the lesson. My 6 year old said no. It’s bravado because I know he loves school, especially music.
Q17. What do I always tell you? I like this answer! I was expecting “clean up” or “stop messing around” instead we get what I tell them every morning when it’s time to leave for school. My 8 year old wrote “Boogie Time” and my 6 year old “Let’s Boogie Woogie”. I don’t think I even realized I said that!
Q18. What’s the hardest thing you’ve had to do? Both of my boys, fortunately, kept this small and small. Math was my 8 year old’s answer, and my 6 year old chose jigsaw puzzles, although his “chigsor” spelling was fantastic, so perhaps writing “jigsaw puzzles” is at least as difficult as theirs…
Q19. What makes you happy? Food was my 8 year old’s answer. He ate a lot of tea, so I promise he wasn’t particularly hungry! My six year old boy has set his favorite activity to be “playing on my computer”.
Q20. What makes you sad? My 8 year old didn’t want to go into the details of this issue, so I helped and suggested they write down what made them cry the last time. “Reported” and “someone hit me” – these are the answers ….
My boys really enjoyed answering the 20 questions, and I loved reading and thinking about their answers. It’s a lot more eloquent than you might think, and I look forward to asking them the same questions again in a couple of years.
Answering 20 questions showed me sadness as my 8 year old finds some subjects too upsetting to discuss and happy both boys are proud of their skills and excited to have their own family when they grow up. It also shows that my 6 year old thinks I am a cool You Tuber!

Why do kids ask questions they know the answers to
You can watch a video version of this post on my Facebook group.
Your four year old may ask, “Am I in the bath?” while he is in the bath. Or “Dinner time?” when he sits at the table after you have called him to dinner. Some children do it a lot and others very little or never. And it really comes down to two reasons: control and security.
Control
Children usually ask questions when they need to know the answer. And usually we adults are in control of this conversation:
“What is this big fish?”
“Well, son, it’s a whale that lives in the ocean and has a thick layer of blubber called blubber.”
Another example mentioned earlier could be “Am I in the bath?” when the baby is actually in the bath. With this question, the child either speaks completely or leaves you speechless or frustrated. This attention-grabbing technique allows them to feel in control because they know what you are about to say. My eldest son, who is four years old, often does this:
“Mom, is this called a bicycle?”
“Yes. ”
“Bicycles have two wheels and pedals and when pedaling”, etc.
This is an opportunity for him to demonstrate his knowledge of something or to talk about a topic that is on his mind. This small power surge is usually harmless. You may notice a surge in these questions after a recent transition or when your child is anticipating a big event or change, such as a trip, a new sibling, or a move.
My own son asks a lot of these questions. For example, when my dad recently went to the Congo to volunteer, my son started asking my husband questions with obvious answers like “Are you staying at home today?” It was noon, my husband was sweating and obviously had no intention of leaving the house. So my theory is that kids do this to regain a sense of control when they feel out of sorts.
Check out my Crazy Behavior Management Scripts to learn how to talk to children and encourage critical thinking.
Security
This reason has two aspects, depending on the type of question. Either the child is trying to match his intellect, his mind with yours, or he wants to shift the responsibility for the decision to you.
For example, your dinosaur-obsessed child might pick up a toy dinosaur and say, “Mom, is that an ankylosaurus?” When my son does this, I usually say yes because I’m sure he knows the answer to his question. This type of question means that the child is either not confident in his knowledge and is looking for confirmation from you, or he is confident in his knowledge and is checking to see if you know the answer.
Another aspect of safety relates to questions such as “Can I throw this in the trash?” when they have the same garbage in their hands that they have thrown in the trash many times. This type of question suggests that the child is unsure of his decision-making skills and he wants you to make decisions for him.
I usually return responsibility to the child: “What do you think?” If you can, use the declarative statement:
.
“Should I wear these shoes?”
“You’re without shoes!”
This answer gives them the information they need, but is not responsible for the decisions they need to make. Try not to make it a habit, because some kids get a rush of feel-good hormones known as peptides when we test their solutions. Young kids can quickly focus on that good feeling, always looking for validation and that kick of peptides.
At an unhealthy level, this concentration can create insecurity because the child can actually become addicted to these peptides. Peptides make us feel good, so innocent curiosity can lead to stubborn, hard-to-break habits. I try to encourage the child’s curiosity by asking him to answer his own question. The child then develops critical thinking skills and breaks this cycle of wellness.
Sound doable? If you have any questions, be sure to ask them. I know that when I start talking about inciting your kids to think critically, it can seem really overwhelming – so if it’s giving you a little bit of a panic in your stomach – I got you. Take my scripts for driving crazy behavior – they’re like a springboard for doing things “I think” and they’re 100% free, so give them a shot and let them know.

How to give age-appropriate answers to questions about God
Here are some common questions children ask about God – and how to answer them in an age-appropriate way.
“God can turn into a baby,” thought four-year-old Nikolai. For many children, God is a magical being who can even come close to being as strong as Superman. Children’s views of God range from a super being to an old man with a long white beard.
So, when adults talk to a child about God, the child may mean a completely different “God” than the adult. Many ideas about God are influenced and even distorted by the level of development of the child. Questions from children of all ages give us an idea of who they think God is. Use this chart to help you answer the children’s questions about God at their level.
Age-appropriate responses: 2 to 3 years old
Children’s questions: Does God love me? Does God look like (dad)?
What their questions tell us about their faith
Two and three year olds rarely ask about God. They listen to what adults have to say about God and usually accept our statements without question. They openly trust us and imitate our actions and attitudes. When we talk to God, they want to talk to God. When we say “God created everything” or “God is love,” they take our words and connect our attitude to the ideas they develop. God becomes important to a child when the child is aware of God’s work in the child’s life and the people in his life.
How to answer
State truths about God in simple, specific statements. Talk about God’s love for a child: “God is love.” “God loves you.” If the child’s statement or question indicates a misunderstanding of God, make a one or two sentence corrective statement. Talk about God in connection with the child’s immediate experiences and actions. And remember, our attitude when we talk about God has a far greater impact on a child than the specific words we use.
Age-appropriate responses
: 4 to 5 years
Children’s questions: Where is God? Who created God? Why can’t I see God? How did God create (elephants)? Can God hear/see me?
What their questions tell us about their faith
These are the philosophers of the human race. They ask important questions that have puzzled people since time immemorial. And they ask one question after another, often following our best answers with innocent but frustrating “Why?” To make things difficult, they expect simple and clear answers to their short but very deep questions. They think of God in a very literal, physical sense, and are frustrated by abstract, “spiritual” answers.
How to answer
Give as short and correct an answer as possible. Then ask if the answer was helpful or if they want to know more. Avoid the temptation to explain all aspects of the problem the child has raised. When a simple answer simply cannot be given, point out that God is so great that there are many things in Him that no one really understands. Then state one or two basic truths about God that we know for sure.
Age-appropriate responses
: 6 to 8 years old
Children’s questions: Does God love (strangers)? Why did God create (cockroaches)? How can Jesus be God? Did God write the Bible?
What their questions tell us about their faith
Some children never ask questions, and others never seem to stop asking. Usually a child’s question comes from direct experience, so the list of questions a child can ask is endless. Usually the child’s interest in God is still focused on his or her own experience, but there is growing intrigue with people, places, and issues outside of the familiar environment. Their curiosity arises when something out of the ordinary happens.
How to answer
Explanations should be simple and personal. As a rule, it is better that the questions and comments of the child open up new horizons. Until the child has shown interest in something new, adult efforts to expand the child’s horizons have only limited success. Invite your child to comment on your answer to the question and listen carefully to their ideas. Be prepared for a degree of skepticism if the answer pushes the child too far out of familiar territory.
Age-appropriate responses: 9 to 12 years old
Children’s questions: God (American)? Why does God create (earthquakes)? Why do bad things happen? Does God still love me when I disobey?
What their questions tell us about their faith
The older child is still asking many of the same questions as in previous years, indicating that a reassessment is underway. This child expects more detailed answers than a younger child needs—answers that are both logical and supported by recognized authority such as Scripture. Simplified clichés may be outwardly accepted by the child, but the child will experience inner doubts if forced to accept ideas about God. that seem meaningless. Although the child is interested in knowing the “unknown” about God, he or she still has a deep need for assurance that God is directly involved in the child’s life.
How to answer
Always answer honestly, even if the answer is “don’t know”. It never hurts adults to admit that there are things about God that we do not understand. It will hurt if, as adults, we pretend to know more than we know, or pass off our opinion as the truth. To encourage your child to continue learning about God, ask follow-up questions such as, “What else would you like to know about God?” or “Why do you think it’s important to know about God?” Share openly your own learning experiences, including any doubts or questions you have. The child does not need simple answers. A child really needs someone who lovingly and thoughtfully helps to explore the great truths about God and how God touches our lives.
Wes Heisted co-author of Adventures for Growing Families (Victor Books).
Teachers’ Meeting
Children are not the only ones who have questions about God. This is why children’s questions can confuse teachers. Use this meeting for teachers to help teachers feel more comfortable with the unknown.
1. Questions, questions
When the teachers arrive, ask each of them to write their questions about God on 3×5 cards. Ask the teachers to pass the cards to you.
Then ask the teachers to sit down. Tell them that you will read each question aloud, and if they ever think the same about God, he should stand up and then sit down again. Read the questions. Skip the questions that repeat the previous ones.
Then ask:
How did you feel when you heard that other people had questions about God?
What do these questions say about our faith?
What do you think God thinks about our questions?
Read Deuteronomy 29:29 aloud.
Say: We all have questions about God, and that’s okay. God is so great that we cannot understand everything about him. Part of the pleasure of being a Christian is the process of discovering the knowledge of God.
2. Answers to questions
Use the age breakdown in this article to form groups of teachers according to the age they teach. Give each group a copy of this article. Invite the groups to read the questions that children in their age group ask. Ask teachers to share how they would answer these questions with age-appropriate answers. Then invite them to read and discuss the sections “What Their Questions Tell Us About Their Faith” and “How to Answer” in their age group.
3. More questions
Ask the groups to make a list of newsprint questions about God that children in their classes ask. Tape these lists to the wall. Ask teachers to tell you which questions are best answered with “don’t know” and which questions will need more research before they can be answered.
4. Marked
Give each teacher a question mark cut out of the poster board or drawn on the board. Say: children’s questions tell us what they really think about God and their faith. Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Remember, you can say, “I don’t know.” Let the children see that you, too, have questions about God and are eager to get to know God better.
Encourage teachers to put up a question mark in the classroom to remind them to welcome and encourage children to ask about God. Then end in prayer.

Simple answers to difficult children’s questions • VseZnaesh.ru
Children are naturally curious about how the world works, which means that they ask a lot of questions. Some questions are easier to answer than others, and there is no single right answer. Consider your child’s temperament and developmental level, as well as your family’s values on the topic.
VseZnaesh.ru has collected popular topics that interest children, and we will give you some tips on how to answer the most difficult children’s questions.
As children begin to learn about the world around them, their limited experience prevents them from understanding much of what they see. Therefore, the moment children learn to speak, they usually begin to ask questions.
General advice
To build your child’s confidence in you and that the answers you give are reasonable and valid, consider the following tips:
Be ready to answer questions when your child asks them. If the time is very inconvenient, promise to talk later and then bring the subject up as soon as you can.
Take your child’s questions seriously; even those that seem frivolous or unimportant to you are still worth your attention. Answer them frankly and to the point, avoiding sentimentality.
Don’t lie or try to whitewash the facts, but don’t feel like you have to go all the way into every topic, especially with a young child. Remember that your response must be within a short attention span; try to answer only the question asked, giving the child only the information that he asks for and that he can handle.
Be prepared to repeat your answers many times, especially on the most important topics. Children need repetition to check facts and make sure they stay the same from day to day.
Notice the wording of the repeated question. It may seem like the same question they asked before, but your child may come back for a little more information after learning a fact or two.
Keep in mind that children under the age of four have a very imperfect sense of time and do not understand permanence at all. Forever means next to nothing to them, and you have to repeat the word often when it is part of the answer you give.
Remember that children often fail to appreciate the importance of information. They often ask questions that appear trivial or tactless to adults on important topics, some of which appear to be intended to hurt when they simply don’t have enough information or experience to be tactful.
Why is the sky blue?
Despite the fact that the air is transparent and the Sun sends out white rays, on a clear day we see a blue sky. The fact is that the sun’s rays make their way through the atmosphere – the air shell of the Earth. The air, though transparent, is not empty. It consists of molecules, it contains water vapor and dust particles. It is these microscopic particles that scatter light from the Sun.
White light by its nature consists of seven colors – red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet. If you connect together the rays of the colors of the rainbow, you get a white ray. Air particles are most capable of scattering the blue and blue parts of the spectrum, which is why the sky appears blue to us.
Explanation for a child: when we look at the sky during the day, we see the rays of the sun, which changed color from white to blue on the way to Earth. This is due to the structure of our planet.
Do microbes see each other?
Unfortunately, no: to “build” an eye, you need a lot of living cells, and most microbes have too few of them or even one – he himself.
But even if microbes suddenly had eyes, they would still hardly see their fellows. After all, the eye simply perceives light, and vision is already the fruit of the activity of the nervous system. Therefore, even if the eye could fit on the microbe, there is still no place for the nervous system.
However, bacteria can communicate with each other. Scientists have found that certain types of bacteria emit certain signals. This allows them to determine the size of their community.
Explanation for a child: microbes can sense that another microbe is near them, but they cannot see, because such a complex system as vision cannot be created on such a small creature as a bacterium.
Why is the water wet?
Everything in the world has its own state – liquid, solid or gaseous. But the water is also “wet”, because the water molecules have a certain relationship with each other and are able to “cling” to hands, objects, clothes, transferring some of their properties to them, to moisten.
Wet is our tactile sensation, what we can describe when we touch water. The receptors send signals to the brain, and the combination of movement, temperature, water pressure tells it: “the water is wet.”
Explanation for a child: we couldn’t say that water is wet if our skin couldn’t feel. Water particles attach to the skin, making it temporarily wet.
Why does the plane stay in the air and not fall?
The aircraft is kept in the air by lift. It, in turn, occurs when air currents move towards the wing. The wing is turned at a precise angle and at a certain speed the aircraft begins to “take off”, to strive upward. The oncoming air flow constantly supports the wing, preventing it from falling.
It is the engines that accelerate the plane, of course. Jets push the plane forward, while propellers, as it were, pull it along.
Airplane operation is affected by 4 forces – thrust, drag, weight, lift. Their interaction allows the aircraft to stay in the air.
Explanation for a child: an airplane can take off because the engineers designed the special shape of the wings, they help the air hold it while the engines make the airplane move.
Why is the fly sitting on the wall and not falling?
Most insects have special claws on their feet to help them hold on to various surfaces. Even seemingly smooth coverings have many microscopic bulges and grooves that serve as fulcrum for insects.
Flies, on the other hand, have a special design of legs, on which there are special pads. They are covered with hairs that end in thickened tips. Many people think that these are some kind of suckers. In fact, these are glands that secrete a liquid containing sugars and fat. With its help, the fly sticks to even the smoothest surface and stays on it.
At the same time, in order to unstick the foot, the fly peels it off at an angle of less than 90 degrees. So the pads lag behind in small areas, row by row, and not simultaneously over the entire area.
Explanation for a child: flies have very sticky paws, so they can stick to the wall or ceiling like tape. Other insects have small claws with which they grab onto the wall like rock climbers.
Why is the Earth round when I see that it is flat?
Almost all major planets, and the Earth is no exception, are spherical. They took this form because they are very heavy. And their own gravitational force (gravity) gives them the shape of a ball.
If another force suddenly appeared and wanted to give the planet, for example, the shape of a cube, then, when the action of this force ends, the gravitational force will again begin to “gather” the planet into a ball. The protruding parts will begin to retract until the entire surface becomes harmonious from the “point of view” of the force of gravity.
But still the Earth is not a perfect sphere – it is flattened from the side of the poles.
Explanation for a child: our planet is very heavy, and therefore it is difficult for it to accept other forms. An invisible force that acts on our Earth “forces” it to be round.
Why is there no mouse flavored cat food?
Rabbit, chicken, beef, fish… Why don’t they produce food with the most “cat” taste – the taste of mice? It’s simple: people who create food do not know the taste of mice and are not going to try.
Would cats be happy with such food – this is a big question. After all, many domestic cats, even if they catch a mouse, almost never eat it, but only brag about their prey to the owner and play with it. Scientists say that in order for a cat to want to eat a mouse, it needs to be shown this process in childhood, to develop a skill. In other words, if the mother cat did not teach to hunt, and then eat a mouse, then the cat does not really come to mind, unless she is lost in the forest and is not hungry.
Explanation for the child: to know that the food will be tasty, you need to try it, and no one from people will eat a mouse. In addition, domestic cats may also not like the taste of mice, because they catch them, but rarely eat them.
Why do cat eyes glow in the dark?
In order for a cat’s eyes to glow in the dark, there must still be some light in the room. Because this glow is nothing but a reflection of light, in a completely dark room the eyes will not glow.
The eyes of a cat have a very thin reflective layer of the eye, consisting of transparent cells. The light is not completely absorbed by the cat’s eye, but is reflected by transparent cells and comes out in a narrow beam. This property allows cats to see in the dark much better.
Explanation for the child: in the eye of a cat there are special transparent particles, they can be compared with pieces of a mirror. If there is even a little light in a dark room, it will certainly be reflected from these “mirrors”, and it will seem to us that the cat’s eyes are on fire.
Why is blood red and veins blue?
There is a funny tale that is told to children that the blood is actually blue and only when it comes out and touches the air it turns red. Of course, this is just a joke.
The blood is always red, but the veins seem blue to us. This is due to the laws of physics about the reflection of light. The tissues of our body absorb the rays of the red spectrum, and reflect the blue. The brain “compares” the color of the vessels with the warm color of the skin and “shows” us the blue color.
Explanation for a child: Our eyes perceive colors differently depending on how the light falls. Through a layer of skin, red appears blue to us.
Why is poop brown?
It is this color that will tell us about health, but other shades make us worry that something has gone wrong in the body. The brown color is obtained because food enters the small intestine from the stomach. And in its upper section – the duodenum – bile enters.
The interaction of bile with food residues, the formation of a special substance stercobilin and gives a brown tint.
Other colors indicate problems in the body. Green – dysbacteriosis or infections, light yellow – problems with the liver, red – may indicate bleeding only if you did not eat beets or tomatoes the day before.
Explanation for a child: poop turns brown because it is colored by a special substance produced by a healthy person’s body. Other colors may mean that the body tells us about ill health and it is worth seeing a doctor.

This rhetorical question is not just for children.

Explanation for the child: if the road failed again, it may mean that the workers made a mistake when laying the asphalt, or somewhere not far underground there are leaky pipes or underground streams that wash out the road.
Why is mom different from dad?
When explaining to a child the differences between the sexes, formulate your answers according to age, psychologists say. It is worth answering the specific questions of the child, if the baby does not ask about the relationship, he does not need to explain it intrusively. He will ask about it when he is interested.
When talking about physical differences, call a spade a spade, do not hesitate to name the genitals. In general, embarrassment and some special highlighting of this topic serves a disservice, the baby begins to think that he is asking something wrong.
Where do babies come from?
If your little one suddenly comes up to you and asks: “Where did I come from?”, do not rush to tell one of the traditional tales about a stork or a cabbage. Stay honest.
This does not mean that you have to tell all the details about sex and childbirth. Children are usually satisfied with general principles. Talk about conception and birth in a way that is appropriate for the age of the child. Often children are not even interested in physiological details, but in the reason for their birth. For a three-year-old, a simple answer “from the love of mom and dad” or “from mom’s tummy” is quite suitable.
There is a lot of talk these days about the benefits of early sex education. However, you should not raise this topic on your own initiative ahead of time. The kid will definitely ask about it when he is interested.
Explanation for the child: when dad loves mom, he plants a seed in her, from which a child grows in mom’s stomach. After 9 months, he is born. For school-age children, more anatomical information can be added. But the concept of “love” should always be central to this story.

Simple answers to children’s complex questions – Women’s magazine “GOLDEN”
Why is water wet? Where the babies come from? On the birthday of Wikipedia, we learn to be the main reference for our kids, a child psychologist suggests.
Little why-does can confuse even the most educated parent. So that you are not taken by surprise, we learn to correctly answer the difficult questions that children ask.
Share:
The main rule in dealing with children is honesty. You should not dismiss the phrases “you grow up – you will know”, “it’s necessary”, “on a head of cabbage” or vaguely answer “this is how the world works”. Too detailed and scientific answers are also of little interest to children, they only confuse. If you don’t know the answer yourself, admit it and promise to find out. Then be sure to return to the topic and tell the child what you learned.
Read also: Children’s surprise – phrases that make parents blush >>>>>
When answering children’s questions, follow from the complex to the simple, explaining everything in an accessible language. If the question is awkward and you need to pause to think about the answer, just ask the child what he thinks about this. So you teach him to fantasize and think, building logical chains – and gain time.
Why is the sky blue?
What you need to know yourself: despite the fact that the air is transparent and the Sun sends out white rays, in clear weather we see a blue sky. The fact is that the sun’s rays make their way through the atmosphere – the air shell of the Earth. The air, though transparent, is not empty. It consists of molecules, it contains water vapor and dust particles. It is these microscopic particles that scatter light from the Sun.
See also: Raising a Prince – Motherhood Secrets from Kate Middleton >>>>>
White light by its nature consists of seven colors – red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet. If you connect together the rays of the colors of the rainbow, you get a white ray. Air particles are most capable of scattering the blue and blue parts of the spectrum, which is why the sky appears blue to us.
What to say to a child: when we look at the sky during the day, we see the rays of the sun, which changed color from white to blue on the way to Earth. This is due to the structure of our planet.
Why is the water wet?
What you need to know yourself: everything in this world has its own state – liquid, solid or gaseous. Water, in addition, like any liquid, tends to be “wet”. And all because water molecules have a certain connection with each other, which allows it to “cling” to other objects. So, when in contact with water, hands, clothes or the floor become wet. Water transfers some of its properties to them, wetting the object.
See also: Very bad moms – 5 types of mothers that annoy everyone >>>>>
The concept of “wet” is largely related to tactile sensations. This is what we feel when we touch a liquid or an object moistened with it. Our receptors send certain signals to the brain. The combination of water movement, temperature, pressure tells us: “water is wet.”
What to say to a child: when you touch water, particles of it attach to your skin, making it wet for a while. But water itself is just liquid – like milk, vegetable oil or hot chocolate.
Why doesn’t the plane crash?
What you need to know for yourself: a huge aircraft is able to move and stay in the air due to the lift that occurs when air flows are directed towards the wing. The wing of an aircraft is designed to turn at a precise angle. At a certain speed, the plane starts to move upward and takes off. The counter air flow has a supporting property for the wing, preventing the aircraft from falling.
Aircraft performance is generally affected by four forces – thrust, drag, weight and lift. Their interaction allows the aircraft to stay in the air. Engines are used to accelerate the aircraft. Reactive ones push the ship forward with their power, and screw ones seem to pull it along.
What to tell a child: the plane can fly because the engineers came up with a special shape of the wings. First, the engines accelerate the aircraft, and then strong air jets hold it during the flight.
Why is the Earth round?
What you need to know yourself: almost all major planets, including the Earth, as well as their satellites are spherical. They become spherical because of their enormous weight. Its own gravitational force (gravity) gives the planets the shape of a ball, at least it always strives to do so.
Read also: Vicious circle – how to keep up with the child everywhere and not forget about yourself >>>>>
If another force suddenly appeared, under the influence of which the Earth would become square, then at the end of its action, gravity would again gather the planet into a ball. The force of gravity will attract the protruding parts until its entire surface is set at an equal distance from the center. Although in fact the Earth is not a perfect ball. Due to the rotation around its axis at high speed, it is slightly flattened from the side of the poles.
What to say to a child: our planet is so heavy that it is difficult for it to take another form. The same force that pulls us to the floor and allows us to walk on the Earth with our feet acts on all parts of our planet and compresses it into a ball.
Why is the fly sitting on the wall and not falling?
What you need to know: Most insects have special claws on their paws that help them stay on various surfaces. Even seemingly smooth coverings have many microscopic bulges and grooves that serve as fulcrum for insects.
Flies, on the other hand, have a special design of legs, on which there are special pads. They are covered with hairs that end in thickened tips. Many people think that these are some kind of suckers. In fact, these are glands that secrete a liquid containing sugars and fat. With its help, the fly sticks to even the smoothest surface and stays on it.
Read also: Harry Potter and the principles of parenting – 5 tips from children’s books >>>>>
At the same time, in order to unstick the foot, the fly peels it off at an angle of less than 90 degrees. So the pads lag behind in small areas, row by row, and not simultaneously over the entire area.
What to tell your child: flies have very sticky paws, so they can stick to the wall or ceiling like tape. Other insects have small claws with which they grab onto the wall like rock climbers.
Why does a cat’s eyes glow in the dark?
What you need to know yourself: Cats’ eyes cannot glow in absolute darkness. In order for the cat’s eyes to sparkle, there must still be a little light in the room – then they will reflect it.
The point is that the cat has a very thin reflective layer of the eye, which consists of transparent cells. As a result, the light is not completely absorbed, but is partially reflected by the transparent cells and comes out in a narrow beam. By the way, this is what allows cats to see and navigate perfectly in the dark.
What to say to a child: a cat has special transparent particles in its eye that look like mirrors. In the dark, even the faintest light is reflected in them, and it seems to us that the eyes glow.
Why is it different for girls than for boys?
What you need to know yourself: we are savvy in the matter of differences between the sexes, so we will not go into details. When explaining them to a child, formulate your answers according to his age and vocabulary. It is best to answer specific questions. If he does not ask you about relationships with the opposite sex, you do not need to get ahead of yourself.
When talking about the physical differences of bodies, call a spade a spade, do not be shy about the names of the genitals. Your embarrassment or special emotional emphasis on this topic will not play in favor of the child. He may think that he is asking something wrong, and this topic will become taboo for him for a long time, or, on the contrary, will provoke excessive interest.
What to say to a child: In addition to gender differences, explain to your child that boys and girls are different in many other ways. Highlight external features and character traits. For example, in men, these are mustaches, beards, muscles, often a short haircut, strength and courage. For women – makeup, manicure, long hair, dresses and skirts, tenderness and affection. This will make it easier for the child to relate it to the people around him.
Where do babies come from?
What you need to know yourself: this topic has much in common with the previous one. If your baby suddenly came up to you and asked: “Where did I come from?”, do not rush to tell one of the traditional tales about a stork or cabbage. Stay honest.
This does not mean that you have to tell all the details about sex and childbirth. Children are usually satisfied with general principles. Talk about conception and birth in a way that is appropriate for the age of the child. Often children are not even interested in physiological details, but in the reason for their birth. For a three-year-old, a simple answer “from the love of mom and dad” or “from mom’s tummy” is quite suitable.
See also: Moms need different things – 5 perfect gifts for Mother’s Day >>>>>
There is a lot of talk these days about the benefits of early sex education. However, you should not raise this topic on your own initiative ahead of time. The kid will definitely ask about it when he is interested.
What to say to a child: when dad loves mom, he plants a seed in her, from which a baby grows in mom’s stomach. After 9 months, he is born. For school-age children, more anatomical information can be added. But the concept of “love” should always be central to this story.

Coronavirus and children. Questions and Answers
According to available data, most children can easily and without complications from this virus. But despite this, we must not forget that babies can be carriers and infect persons at risk (for example, grandparents). Do not neglect security measures!
We will try to keep you updated on the development of the coronavirus situation, new official data and scientific research. Last update of the material from 26.02.21.
Do children get coronavirus?
Yes, children, teens and young adults are affected by the novel coronavirus SARS CoV-2. For example, in the United States, according to Johns Hopkins, among confirmed cases of infection with a new coronavirus infection, the proportion of children is 9. 1%. However, according to statistics, only 8 out of 100,000 children require hospitalization due to illness. The risk group for hospitalization due to SARS CoV-2 disease includes children under 2 years of age, babies born prematurely, and children with obesity or chronic lung disease.
According to research by Rospotrebnadzor, the level of herd immunity among children aged 1 to 6 and 7 to 13 years (that is, the number of recovered patients who have antibodies to the disease in their blood) is 1.3-2.1 times higher than among other age groups. groups.
How to protect children and yourself from the virus?
Wash children’s (and yourself’s) hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds – as soon as you get outside, before eating, after using the toilet. Here you can see how the head of the WHO does it.
Keep social distance, use a mask in public places, disinfect frequently used items: phones, keys, wallets, bank cards, bag handles.
Teach older children to sneeze and cough properly by covering your elbow or with a disposable tissue to throw away immediately and then wash your hands. Try to teach children not to touch their faces, especially in public places and on playgrounds (we understand that this, alas, is not always possible).
Remember that prevention measures must be followed by all family members!
More detailed instructions can be found on the websites of WHO and Rospotrebnadzor.
Do you wear medical masks?
Masks continue to be in place in many parts of the country. For example, in Moscow, it is no longer necessary to wear a mask on the street, but in public places: in the metro and buses, in shops, medical institutions, kindergartens, etc., it must be worn.
Use a mask or respirator correctly, following all the instructions: do not touch its outer side with your hands, observe the wearing time, etc. Here you will find a guide to using masks from Rospotrebnadzor. If you do not care for the sick and do not experience symptoms of SARS yourself, it is not necessary to wear a special medical mask, a reusable fabric or homemade one is enough.
Wearing a mask for children under 7 years of age is not mandatory, and students are not required to wear a mask during lessons and moving around the school. However, in some shops and other public places, especially in large cities, you may still be asked to wear a mask for an older child. As for babies 1-2 years old, for the prevention of coronavirus infection, it is important to ensure that the child does not lick his fingers and does not touch his face on the street, especially in an urban environment.
Is the virus transmitted through breast milk?
There is not enough data yet to say for sure, but the virus has not been found in breast milk in existing cases. If a nursing mother suspects that she could have contracted the coronavirus, it is necessary to consult a specialist before continuing breastfeeding. If you suspect a disease, be sure to wear a mask and wash your hands before contact with the child!
How do children with asthma or diabetes handle the coronavirus?
So far, children with asthma have not been reported to have a worse tolerance for the new coronavirus than their peers without the disease. However, these children are at high risk for any respiratory disease, and the coronavirus is no exception. Closely monitor the condition of the child, if symptoms of SARS appear, seek medical help.
Children with well-controlled diabetes have also not been reported to have a more severe case of coronavirus than others. But uncontrolled diabetes weakens the immune system, so these children need to be monitored especially carefully.
Are the symptoms of COVID-19 different in children and adults?
No, the symptoms are the same, although in children they are usually less pronounced: fever, dry cough, less often runny nose, vomiting and diarrhea. If you suspect symptoms of coronavirus in yourself or your loved ones, call a doctor at home, do not go to the clinic yourself. If you or someone in your family feels difficulty in breathing, call an ambulance. You can read more about the symptoms of coronavirus on the website of Rospotrebnadzor.
Are children vaccinated against the coronavirus?
Today, two different vaccines against coronavirus are registered and available in Russia – Sputnik V, developed by the National Research Center for Epidemiology and Microbiology named after N. F. Gamaleya of the Ministry of Health of Russia, and EpiVakKorona of the Novosibirsk center “Vector”. So far, both coronavirus vaccines are only available to people over 18 years of age.

Updated review
Customer service helped. I figured out that I can just limit in the settings that the child must have a password to use tickets to keep her from wasting time on the shop. Still with the puzzles is my only small concern. They directed me that the puzzles level can be adjusted… but can not be adjusted as a standard setting. In other words every time she does a puzzle, I must adjust the level because otherwise it’ll always start as level 1 where she can just tap to place instead of actually thinking of where to place anything. I checked to see if this remained consistent on the curriculum set and tried all the way to 10 for (I think) represented 4th grade. Always can just tap into place and must set level per puzzle. Just a suggestion to help make the puzzles more changeling and educational: make it where the parents can set the puzzles difficulty as a regular, not each time. Sorry that was so long. Love everything else. She still has a lot of work to get caught up as it is and we’re doing everything we can, including hoping this fun way of learning will make her do better. ✌🏻💖
We appreciate the feedback you have left us in regard to the gameplay during activities. We do provide you with the option of being able to select specific activities within the Classroom area of the program. From there you can select actives by subject, as well as level. Certain activities such as the puzzles will allow you to adjust the level during the activity.
Great activities. Terrible customer service.
The activities in the math and reading section are good, but the customer service is terrible. When you are doing the math section, there are two or three skills the child is working on at a time. Well one of the math games on my child’s account isn’t working properly and won’t let my child put the correct answer. I have tried over and over to put the right answer in but there must be a bug and it doesn’t work. I have contacted customer support on three separate occasions to have them address the issue. I sent the first email on April 4. It took 10 days for them to respond and I was told to uninstall and reinstall the app and update my iOS. Did both, game is still not working. I have since then reached out three more times and have heard nothing back. My son cannot move past this skill even though he knows how to do it because the game won’t let him enter the correct answer.
There is no other way to contact customer support except the email link on the app. No one responds and I can’t seem to locate a number. For the amount of money we pay to use this service, there should be a better way to get support.
There are much better apps that do the same thing for less money and better support for their customers. I’m frustrated that we paid for this app and my son cannot even make any progress because the developers can’t get their act together to fix this one simple thing.
We apologize for any frustration. We would love to help you get this resolved so that your son can continue learning. You can connect with us through www. abcmouse.com/appfeedback and a representative will connect with you as soon as possible.
Just about perfect
Always heard about ABC Mouse from commercials on the pbs channel. It was perfect timing for us to check it out: our daughter just turned 3 and COVID-19 Quarantine was in full swing. Our daughter is doing great with ABC Mouse and gets a lot from it. This app, coupled with mock hour-long “school time” at home with her Mom has really boosted our daughter’s vocabulary, letter recognition, phonics, recognizing patterns, and learning numbers. Definitely recommend a touch screen device, as this is more intuitive to a young one than using a mouse. The only thing is I wish we could turn off or control the app advertisements that scroll at the top main menu… when our daughter selected one, it led to the episode/show section of the app. These are not very interactive in-app shows. Hopefully there will be a control feature for this in the future. Other than that.. ABC Mouse is super amazing!
We are happy to hear how well your daughter is doing with ABCmouse.

Poorly designed education content. Empty and hollow.
The learning program of Abc Mouse will destroy the thinking capacity of kids. No doubt it engages the kids and gives false hope to parent that kids are learning. But the programs are so poorly designed that they are empty sugar without any nutrition. The learning program have been designed lazily and hurriedly. There is some kind excessive pattern matching. Kids dont have to think much. Rewards have been designed well but the program they have to go through are pathetic. My kids were engaged and we were happy initially. But later I saw that instead of progressing in academics, they had lost substantial amount of knowledge they gained earlier. Only thing they had become expert in is playing abcmouse games.

Terrible Chat Service
When I questioned the price for 1 child versus 3 children (12. 99/mo-regaurdless) after 30 day trial, the first chatter sent me to cust care which was rude when I asked for clarification because they were vague. Then they said as I stated…I still have the email with all the messages. Not fair I have to pay same price for one child. Not interested in service. Angry that I was talked down too.

Had to cancel credit card to stop charges
The product itself is good & as advertised. However, despite what you may read from their website – it is not easy to cancel.

This company is a scam.
Do NOT sign up for this company. They have charged me hundreds of dollars over years. I just discovered this recently and they’ve charged me at least $180 and acknowledged that I cancelled a year and a half ago, yet i have charges for every month since. They claim they can find no record of the charges and therefore cannot refund or stop.
My bank is unable to stop them either. How is this legal? This is straight up criminal. This company needs to be shut down and their executives jailed. I see I’m not the only one. They can’t create a worthwhile product, so they bleed parents a few bucks at a time.

ABCmouse Sucks
Once you sign on then you can not cancel. They charge you every year and you can never talk to anyone.
My daughter just played the games and didn’t learn anything. Waste of time and money. Don’t fall for there trap. Apple sucks

Scam
Don’t give these thieves your credit card info for the “free” trial. You will cancel when your kids lose interest and they will charge you for a full year claiming not to receive your cancelation via the website and will not refund. Worse than a cell phone contract. Stay far away from abcmouse.com

Does not follow CBI compliance. I needed help changing the aquarium on my daughter’s profile (as the Hawaiian tank is broken and won’t load) we had already been helped with this once before so I know they were able. This agent, however, told me that he could not make the change for me unless he could verify I was the account holder by me providing my payment information via instant chat. He could cancel my subscription without this verification but could not change the imaginary fish tank. I am told that a supervisor will reach out to me via email “eventually”.

It is a product that is very adaptable to most all students. I like that this product allows children to use technology in fun but academic way. Children are learning new skills while they are playing! I like that it can be used on an IPad as well as a desktop. I really like everything about this product.”

Parents’ Choice Gold Award
Gold Seal in
Website Category
The Parents’ Choice Award is America’s oldest nonprofit program to recognize high-quality media for children. Using distinguished panels—which include educators, scientists, librarians, and parents—the Parents’ Choice Foundation identifies the best products for children of all ages, backgrounds, and skills and honors those products with its Parents’ Choice Award. Only 20 percent of all entries receive any award. The ABCmouse website received the highest award possible for a new entry, earning a Gold Seal.
“This website took me by surprise. At first glance, ABCmouse appears to be a standard, cartoon-style educational website. Upon entering the site, however, the amount of educational materials, the organization of the classroom levels, the ease of navigation and available help features, and sheer depth of activities available is almost overwhelming. This may be the first website that I have seen that is truly an online classroom, terrific for preschool through kindergarten students.”
The goal of the Children’s Technology Review is to “de-mystify” the latest technology products and services for parents and teachers through complete, objective, child-centered reviews. The review process is designed to measure five factors that generally apply to most children’s interactive media experiences: ease of use, educational value, entertainment value, design features, and overall value.
In his review of ABCmouse Early Learning Academy, Editor Warren Buckleitner said, “After you play a few levels, you can quickly see that teachers played a hand in all aspects of this service.” Buckleitner also noted, “This type of service is complete enough to supplement an existing school curriculum or provide the backbone of a home-based curriculum.” The ABCmouse website was awarded 4.5 stars out of a possible 5 stars along with the Editor’s Choice Award.

Why We Love ABCmouse.
com
Disclosure: This post contains affiliate links. As always, I only share about programs that we love and trust.
I love to share with you the programs we use on a regular basis. One of those programs is ABCmouse.com. We’ve been using this website for 5 years! I have three boys (ages 8, 6, and 3) and we started this program when my oldest was 3-years-old.
Parents, especially those with little ones, want to know the programs that are comprehensive AND affordable! ABCmouse.com has been significantly useful in our preschool at home. I truly believe it’s the most comprehensive online learning program out there.
Disclosure: This post contains affiliate links. See my disclosure for details.
This program contains over 850 lessons and 9,000 learning activities! It covers literacy, math, science, art, music, and more! Your child will never run out of things to do on this program because they are constantly adding more activities. This is a great curriculum to use with children ages 2-8.
There are different learning paths for children. You choose the path that’s right for your child and they set up lessons for you. The lessons don’t take a lot of time, which means your child doesn’t need a lot of screen time. I do think that it’s a great program to add to a home preschool schedule or a learning enhancement for children who attend school. Believe me…your child will love it!
ABCmouse.com makes learning so much fun. The neat graphics, games, and music makes learning a blast! My kids love the tickets for doing the activities. It’s a wonderful incentive to do their lessons. After earning tickets, they get to pick out virtual gifts for their avatar or virtual pet fish or hamster.
5 reasons to try the ABCmouse app:
1. There are so many activities that your child won’t get bored! In fact, there are over 9,000 activities on ABCmouse.com. They are always adding new activities to keep things fresh!
2. There are no advertisements, no external links, and no pop-up ads. Don’t you hate it when you download an educational app and there are a ton of ads?! I want to know exactly what my child is watching and I can feel confident that ABCmouse.com is safe.
3. They have 6 complimentary apps that are available completely offline! That means you can use them on a road trip, in the doctor’s office, or anywhere where wifi isn’t available.
4. They have great assessments. This feature allows you to give a short assessment to your child to check their knowledge and understand what skills they need to work on. These are the three assessments the offer right now.
5. Kids LOVE this program! The activities are enjoyable and it makes learning fun! My kids are big fans.
Research backs up ABCmouse!
According to this research study, there is a definite importance of early reading and math skills to help with academic success. Results from Age of Learning show that using ABCmouse consistently helps children who have been identified as at-risk for school failure to be more prepared for school and also achieve growth in literacy and math.
Questions about ABCmouse.com
1. Can you use this program for multiple kids? YES! You can use one subscription for up to three children. Each child will have his/her own learning path for their age. 2. Do you need wifi access? For most of the program, you do. However, there 6 new apps that don’t require any wifi. 3. What age is this for? This is for ages 2-8. We didn’t start using the program with my children until they were closer to age 3. 4. Can you use this in the classroom? YES!

What is ABCmouse?
I’m sure you’ve seen the commercials for the website called ABCmouse. com. If you haven’t, it’s basically an educational website for children that you subscribe to monthly. I know, I know, just like me you’re probably thinking, “Why on earth would I pay for something like that? There is so much on the internet for free!” And that’s true. I can tell you my son’s favorite websites right off the bat, and they’re all free:
– NickJr.com -DisneyJr.com (although they recently revamped their site and took away all of his favorite games, which I just don’t understand) -pbskids.org -sesamestreet.org (their games are GREAT, and pretty much allow him to navigate freely without much support)
But my complaints about those sites are that they have pop-up advertisements, they don’t always work (games will crash unexpectedly or freeze), and sometimes my kiddo needs help finding the right games or figuring out the directions. ABCmouse is fully COPPA-compliant (Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act). It contains no pop-ups or links to other websites, eliminating access to potentially dangerous content. ABCmouse also does not feature advertising of any kind. We’ve yet to have a problem with it not loading, crashing or freezing (it better not if were paying for it!).
So, What Does it Have?
Well, pretty much everything. Your child gets an avatar and can then navigate through a “classroom.” Subjects range from math to reading, science to art. They’ve pretty much got it all.
Educational Advisors. They have a curriculum board of education experts, according to their website, who help plan their games, and incorporate state standards into their lessons.
Diverse Screenshots. They like to keep the kids entertained, so they will occasionally spruce up the screen for the holidays. Here’s an example of how they decorated for Halloween in October.
ABCmouse changes their screens for holidays and to add appeal for children.
What’s Good About It? Free One Month Trial with Subscription: Need I say more? Try it out free for a month. If you don’t like it, be sure to cancel it, otherwise they will keep billing you. There are no strings attached. ABCmouse recently offered me my own affiliate link to share with you (but that in no way changes my opinion of ABCmouse- what you read here is the honest truth, I swear!). To access their 30 day free trial, feel free to follow my link here.
Free for 30 days, then $12.99 a month until canceled OR
$5 for 2 months then $12.99 a month until canceled.

Safety: ABCmouse is 100% safe and kid friendly environment that is fully COPPA-compliant (Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act). It contains no pop-ups or links to other websites, eliminating access to potentially dangerous content. They make sure it is 100% engaging fun education for kids! Additionally, ABCmouse also does not feature advertising of any kind.
Differentiation: There is literally so much on this site, and what I like is that they appeal to a large array of learning styles. They have audio pages, games, puzzles, art. They do their best to reach all types of learners.
From the ABCmouse homepage you can choose what your child should work on.
Leveled Learning: You choose your child’s level (starting at early pre-K up to Grade 2), and you can change the levels up or down at any time. When you change levels, you get a whole new set of games/activities.
I liked that they incorporated some of the Everyday Math techniques – this is a hundred chart in the math section.
Easy navigation: At first when I looked at it, I thought, “geez, there’s too much on here!” But it’s not too bad. There’s a lot to see but the tabs are easy to locate and navigate through. My 5 year old can play without much supervision, and doesn’t need much help following directions or understanding what to do for each activity.
The lady in the middle is your child’s ‘teacher’ and this page helps you navigate your choices.
Engaging: The games are brightly colored, fun, entertaining. They hold my son’s attention and he doesn’t even realize he’s learning. He has favorite games that he likes to play and I can change the level of them so he is not always playing using the same skills.
This little monkey helps identify vowels, consonants and more.
Incentives: Kids earn “tickets” for every activity they do on ABCmouse. They can save up their tickets to “buy” items (they’re not spending real money at any time, no worries there!) for their virtual room, virtual fish tank or virtual hamster cage. My son loves the hamsters. He builds elaborate tunnels for them, which in itself can be educational in an engineering kind of way.

Assessment Center
I do not have experience with ABCmouse’s assessment center option (this was not yet available when we used the service), but one of my readers offered some advice about it and gave me some insight to whether or not it’s worth it. So here is her experience with the assessment option. Many thanks to Diannika for sharing this info with us (you can read more of her suggestions in the comments section at the bottom of this post):
“The assessment center has a variety of tests your child can take to help determine where they stand when it comes to certain skills. I had my nearly 5 year old take both the pre-k and kindergarten ones, simply because the things it lists as learning goals on the site for kindergarten include a bunch of things she could already do, so why not?
Some of the tests are designed for the child to take independently, others need parental assistance. Which is which are clearly labeled if you take the option to test each section individually. If you take the full assessment option, however, it does all of the tests for that level in a row, so you will need to be sure to be watching closely to know when it is time for you to step in and help… which you will probably be doing anyway while they are taking the tests.
The ones which require parental assistance include things like counting out loud (and the parent has to say how high they counted without messing up) or reading things out loud or naming shapes (and the parent has to mark if the child did so correctly). The parent instructions will clearly tell you how much assistance you can give your child on the task, if any (for example, in the how high can they count test, you are allowed to ask them “what comes after (number they last said)” if they stop to encourage them to keep going, but not otherwise coach them). Let me tell you, if your child is struggling with a particular step, it can be really hard not to step in and help them. I honestly would not recommend the assessment if your child cannot accept that you cant help them with it.
We did the pre-k in sections, and the kindergarten all in one. Definitely do it in sections… after each one, you get to see the score, and my daughter LOVED hoping she got a green circle with 100% in the middle. In the all in one, you don’t see any score till the end, and then its the overall score… you have to go into a more detailed view to see the section scores. Much less engaging for the child, and it led to her being much less interested in the testing once she realized she couldn’t see her scores. She did like the meter at the top showing how far into a given test she was, however. That was in both modes… a character walking toward a star. If your child gets 100% in a section, that is it. However, if they get less than that, you will get recommended activities to specifically work on the things they are weaker in. “
What’s Not So Good About It? It’s not free. No, but it’s not overly expensive either. At $12.99 per month (their standard rate beginning 4/30/2021), it’s way cheaper than tutoring! Access their 30 day free trial here.
Free for 30 days, then $12.99 a month until canceled OR
$5 for 2 months then $12.99 a month until canceled.
****I always try to share the most up-to-date sales in this post, which usually happen around holidays. I’ll share them in this highlighted yellow area so they’re easy to spot.
Too Much Independence. It’s easy to let your child play for hours, but if you don’t want them sitting in front of a computer all day, be sure to monitor the time they spend on there and set a limit for how long you want them to play.
Distracting Incentives. I mentioned that my son loves the hamster cage ticket incentive. Sometimes that’s all he wants to do on ABCmouse, but that’s not really the educational part! So I tell him “You have to play 6 games first before you hit the hamster store.”
Forgetting About It. There is a possibility that you will purchase ABCmouse and then not use it too much. If that’s the case, then get on there and cancel your payments! ABCmouse will automatically renew each month unless you tell it not to (you can cancel at any time). So be vigilant about how much you use it.
Can My Child Play on a SmartPhone or Tablet?
ABCmouse does have an app that is compatible with most Apple and Android devices. The app is essentially a gateway to gameplay, so you need a strong WiFi connection and the latest updates for your phone or tablet. Check their FAQ page on their website for more information. If you’re specifically looking for educational apps for your child, check out my recommendations for some great educational apps for kids!
What if I Have More Than One Child?
You can register up to three children per account on ABCmouse.
How Do I Cancel ABCmouse?
It is easy to cancel ABCmouse if you decide you no longer want it. Just go to the MyAccount section on the Parents page and there should be an option there to discontinue service. You can also reactivate your account any time. Added note that down the line, when my son had grown old enough and we decided to cancel ABCmouse, I did not have any issues with cancellation.
The Bottom Line – Is it Worth It?
So will your child jump up reading levels and become the super learner they talk about on the TV commercials? I don’t know about that, but it’s worth a try. If you can get the free trial (or a decent sale price for your subscription- they do run multiple sales throughout the year), why not give it a shot? I especially think it’s worth trying if your child is unmotivated to learn (or unwilling to learn!), and it’s great for extra summer practice. If there is a particular area that your child needs help with (such as recognizing letter sounds or counting to 100), this website might be able to help. And if not, just be sure to cancel before your free trial is up!
**And as another added note, just before The Jersey Momma’s Boy entered First Grade, he lost interest in ABCmouse. Although this might not be true for all learners, this was the case with my boy, so we cancelled our subscription. Since writing this post, ABCmouse has added another level, so their program now goes up to 2nd Grade. I also HIGHLY recommend Age of Learning’s newest online learning platform, Adventure Academy, for those kids who have outgrown ABCmouse. See below for my review post link.

$5 for 2 months then $12.99 a month until canceled.
I also have a full review and walk-through video of Adventure Academy, which is Age of Learning’s new program for kids ages 8-13 (it’s awesome!). Read that review here or click the Adventure Academy image below.

ABCmouse is an engaging platform for kids that doesn’t require parental help
When schools across the nation shut down at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, I felt fortunate that the school my boys attended offered a robust online learning program with live classes daily. This gave my 7-year-old son, who was finishing up first grade, a lesson plan to follow during the day.
My 4-year-old son’s learning time was less structured, which was to be expected for a pre-K student. He was happy to see his teachers during virtual circle time each morning, but since I was also working from home, I didn’t have much time to guide him through the activity list the teachers emailed for additional enrichment. While I wasn’t worried – young children learn best through play – I wanted to feel he was getting some type of organized instruction as well that didn’t require my constant presence.
Enter ABCmouse.com, the online learning platform whose ubiquitous advertising made both boys ask repeatedly if we could try it out. I finally agreed, hoping the app’s suite of 850 lessons and more than 10,000 regularly updated learning activities would be a good way for both kids to learn and work independently. ABCmouse.com targets children 2-8, making me wonder if it would be too basic for my older son, who’d turn eight a month after I signed up for the program. I was more optimistic for my younger son, who turned five at the end of the summer, and hoped he’d be able to enjoy the program without much supervision from me.
ABCmouse.com offers a free one-month trial before reverting to $9.99 per month, or you can pay for longer subscriptions for a lower overall price per month.
My younger son took to it quickly. We created a character for him that matched his skin tone, hair and eye color and did the same for his teacher of choice. Users then select the child’s grade level to ensure appropriate instruction that aligns with the school curriculum. ABCmouse.com advertises that its curricula are designed by teachers and align with what kids would learn in school.
Once I logged into his account (you can create accounts for multiple children under your login), we started on the landing page. The lessons can be accessed through the Classroom, which leads children through a progressive map of learning activities. Other options include exploring a virtual zoo, farm, park or choosing a hamster (more on that later). My son was able to complete these steps without my help once I showed him how to maneuver the touchpad mouse on my laptop. When he left the program and returned at a different time, he could start at the spot where he left off.
We found the kindergarten-age activities engaging, from alphabet-themed stories and songs that only required listening (and sometimes singing and dancing) to games, puzzles and art completed by dragging the mouse to move pieces and place colors.
About the only activity that required my attention was an assessment test that took anywhere from 10-15 minutes. This was designed to determine whether the activities provided fit his actual learning level. While the children are supposed to do this test without parental supervision, my son often asked me for more clarification about what the directions meant. Once I explained what he was being asked to do, he was able to complete the activity. While I wondered if his need for more clarification meant he wasn’t ready for that skill, the fact that he was able to complete it after I explained the directions more – as an actual teacher would do in real life – gave me a better gauge on what he really understood. The test, honestly, was the only time he really needed my assistance to move forward on ABCmouse.com. It also helps that the questions were delivered verbally – a bonus for children not yet reading.
My older son began working on the second-grade suite of lessons, the highest grade offered by ABCmouse.com, and the one that matched his actual grade level this fall. He was entertained by some of the stories the narrator read aloud, which contained vocabulary and themes relevant to his age level. He also enjoyed some of the mouse-drag artwork, but quickly told me that certain lessons, such as one on identifying spheres and cylinders as shapes, were “too easy” for him. Age of Learning, the parent company for ABCmouse.com, offers Adventure Academy for elementary and middle-school students, and I thought that might soon be a better fit for him.
What he appreciated greatly was a factor I didn’t consider. He’s a brilliant, creative child who enjoys creating and telling stories, but handwriting is markedly difficult for him – and not in the typical sense that most young people struggle with it. He’s been receiving occupational therapy for four years to work on hand strength and handwriting issues and we still work on correcting reversed letters and numbers. Having the chance to type out what he’s thinking made answering questions much more pleasurable – as long as he could find the keys on the keyboard.
“Instead of writing, which hurts my hand, it’s easier for me to type my ideas,” he told me. “It’s hard to find the letters so it can take a longer time to type your answer in, but I get to memorize them the more I play ABCmouse.”
And he was a sucker for the tickets.
With each completed activity, children receive tickets that can be used to “purchase” online pets like hamsters and fish, along with supplies for said animals. Earning tickets became his motivation to plow through some of the lessons he didn’t like. I appreciated that he did the math in his head to figure out how many tickets he needed for another fishbowl or whatever – he might have learned more from that process than he did from the lessons themselves.
“I like ABCmouse because of all the cute hamsters and fish you can get,” he said. “I also like that you can get supplies for your pets and more backgrounds. There are many cool things that you can unlock if you do a certain number of activities and you get a little prize. I like all of the choices.”
Other pluses for him included a daily video with current events, life lessons, and songs to get moving. He enjoyed hearing the daily lesson, and I made sure to replay the part about responsibility a few times for good measure.
The verdict – ABCmouse.com delivered what it advertised and proved both entertaining and educational for both of my children. As I expected, it was a much better fit for my 5-year-old, and I wouldn’t have gotten it at all if I was just considering the needs of my almost-8-year-old. My older son is easygoing enough that he’ll try anything a few times, but he hasn’t asked about it since the trial period ended – even though he’ll peek over his younger brother’s shoulder when he’s playing and then ask to buy something for his fish. My youngest son loves it and frequently asks to play. He stays interested for about an hour and can work independently.
Now that the boys are back to school in person, we haven’t used ABCmouse.com as much. My second grader has 20 minutes of reading to do each night during the week – which we usually do as a family activity – and occasionally completes a few math problems or sentences he didn’t finish at school. My pre-K son prefers to use his time after school to build Legos or draw. With the days growing shorter, colder and more rainy, however, I wouldn’t be surprised if we start using ABCmouse.com more on the weekends during late fall and winter. While I think some parents could find the program helpful to supplement in-school instruction, for us, I see this mostly as a non-school activity.
ABCmouse is worth trying if you’re looking for a self-guided, independent learning activity for your young children to enjoy.

Boring English for children: learning the alphabet
It is better to learn any foreign language from childhood. It is known that children who grew up in a multilingual environment are much easier to adapt and absorb new information much faster.
In order for a child to start learning English as early as possible and not get bored of this process, it is enough to turn boring learning into a game. So it will become much easier for the baby to memorize new words and phrases, and you will spend time with your child not only fun, but also productive.
In this article we will talk about how to learn the English alphabet in a simple and easy way for both children and all beginners and give some poems and songs for learning.
English alphabet
The English alphabet is called alphabet or simply ABC. It has 26 letters, of which 20 are consonants and only 6 are vowels.
Vowels: A, E, I, O, U, Y
Consonants: B, C, D, F, G, H, J, K, L, M, N, P, Q, R, S, T, V, W, X, Z
Alphabet with transcription and pronunciation:
Aa [ei] [hey]
Bb [bi:] [bi]
Cc [si:] [si]
Dd [di:] [di]
Ee [i:] [i]
Ff [ef] [ef]
Gg [dʒi:] [ji]
Hh [eitʃ] [eh]
Ii [ai] [ai]
Jj [dʒei] [jay]
Kk [kei] [kei]
Ll [el] [el]
Mm [em] [em]
Nn [en] [en]
Oo [ou] [o]
Pp [pi:] [pi]
Qq [kju:] [cue]
Rr [a:] [aa, ar]
Ss [es] [es]
Tt [ti:] [ti]
Uu [ju:] [yu]
Vv [vi:] [vi]
Ww [ `dʌbl `ju: ] [double]
Xx [eks] [ex]
Yy [wai] [wai]
Zz [zed] [zed]
Almost all letters of the alphabet are pronounced the same by Americans and British, except for the last one. In American English, Z will sound like “zi” [ziː].
The study of the alphabet usually begins with an alphabet song (alphabet song): this way it is easier for the child to remember the pronunciation. She sings along the lines:
Do you know your ABC?
You can learn along with me!
A, B, C, D, E, F, G
H, I, J, K
L, M, N, O, P
Q, R, S,
T, U, V
W, X, Y and Z
Now you know your alphabet!
By the way, due to the difference in the pronunciation of the letter “Z”, the end of this song will sound different in the British and American versions:
British
X, Y, Z – Now I know my alphabet (Now I know my alphabet) or Now you know your alphabet (Now you know your alphabet).
American
Now I know my ABC, twenty-six letters from A to Z Now I know my ABC, next time won’t you sing with me (Now I know my alphabet, would you like to sing with me next time).
It is with the study of the alphabet that an exciting journey into any foreign language begins. Everyone needs to know ABC by heart in order to know how to write and pronounce individual letters correctly. Especially if you need to spell a word. Spelling is how a word is spelled. There is no direct analogue of spelling in Russian, but the Americans even have a whole Spelling Bee game in which you need to spell a word without errors. Spelling Bee competitions and competitions are often held in the USA.
But you need to start simple, especially for children. We tell you a few tricks on how to make it so that your child learns the alphabet as easy as ABC (easier than easy).
Word Cards
One effective way to learn new words and remember the alphabet is to make flashy cards with letters and words that begin with them and hang them in a prominent place.
The same technique can be used to enrich vocabulary: just hang cards with translations over the objects that you have in your apartment – let the child remember how words are spelled and pronounced.
One of the easiest options is to use words that are familiar to the child. It can be the names of animals or everyday objects.
Here are the letters with the corresponding words, which will allow you to remember not only spelling, but also practice pronunciation:
A – Apple (Apple)
B – Banana (Banana)
C – Cat (Cat)
D – Dog (Dog)
E – Elephant (Elephant)
F – Fox (Fox)
G – Giraffe (Giraffe)
H – House (House)
I – Ice-cream (Ice cream)
J – Jam (Jam)
K – Key (Key)
L – Lemon (Lemon)
M – Mouse (Mouse)
N – Nose (Nose)
O – Owl (Owl)
P – Panda (Panda)
Q – Queen (Queen)
R – Rabbit (Rabbit)
S – Squirrel (Squirrel)
T – Turtle (Turtle)
U – Umbrella (Umbrella)
V – Violin (Violin)
W – Wolf (Wolf)
X – Ox (Ox)
Y-Yacht (Yacht)
Z – Zebra (Zebra)
You can find a set of these cards in any bookstore, or you can make your own.
Verse for learning the English alphabet
In verse form, it is much easier to remember the order of letters and words that begin with this letter. Many teachers read the following rhyme to the smallest students to get acquainted with the alphabet:
There is a knock at our door.
– Who’s there?
– The letter A and autumn – autumn.
To everyone, so that he is not sad,
They give an apple – an apple.
Letter B, like a ball – ball
Jumps, hides under the table.
It’s a pity I don’t have time to play:
I am reading a book
S. went hunting
– Mice! Take the paws!
So that today for lunch
Do not get a cat – cat.
Don’t go near the letter D,
Otherwise it will bite D.
The cat runs without feeling its feet,
There is a dog in the yard.
The letter E is whiter than snow.
C E originates egg,
Egg is hatched by a quok.
Here is the end – the end. And point!
Green leaf sowing,
The letter F croaks loudly,
Because frog is a frog,
The famous wahoo.
Don’t be friends with this letter,
The letter G is recognized.
It is important to lift your head,
Looks down – giraffe.
H will blow anyone’s nose.
My horse is racing like a whirlwind.
There is no barrier for him,
If the rider is wearing a hat – hat.
We are so similar with the letter I:
I and I are one and the same.
We don’t cry, we don’t mope,
If there is ice cream – ice-cream.
Sweet tooth letter J
Sweeter than buns and cakes.
The letter J is familiar to everyone,
Who tasted the sweet jam.
K will open locks for everyone,
She has a key – key,
To the kingdom – kingdom will take,
The magical world will open.
Letter L came next,
To help the lamb – lamb,
He is afraid to go to bed,
He asks for a lamp – lamp to light.
Letter M for monkey,
For a cheerful nimble monkey.
She is waiting for treats,
Melon – she needs a melon.
N you won’t get tired of hanging.
On the branches of the nest – a nest.
It has chicks in it. We would like
Count their number – number.
From dawn to dawn
Waves oak branch – oak-tree.
He calls everyone under the vault of branches,
Muttering under his breath: “O.K.”
Pirate – young pirate
With parrot – glad to parrot:
– Look, this is us
Waving a branch of a palm tree – palm!
Here I will sing a song
In honor of the beautiful letter Q,
Because the queen is the queen
He loves to have fun.
Why is there a rumor
“Beware of the letter R”?
I will tell you a secret
There is no nastier rat – rat!
No coincidence the letter S
Interested:
In the sky – sky sparkles star –
A very bright star.
T. is calling us to Children’s World
We are glad to visit:
There will make friends with you
Each toy is a toy.
If you see the letter U,
So soon it will rain.
U got kinder today –
Gave an umbrella – umbrella.
Hey! Run, hold, catch!
Letter V on serving.
The ball went straight to the sky,
I love volleyball.
W, known to all,
Inverted M.
In the dark, flashing with a fang,
A gray wolf walks – a wolf.
The doctor said from behind the door:
– I’m taking you to X-ray.
– What? Maybe a prisoner?
— No, just for x-rays.
Hey, get on the oars!
The letter Y rushes into the sea.
On a long journey, the guys are calling
White sailboat – a yacht.
What is the letter Z?
You will see when you take the ticket,
Wolf, tiger, and goat
In the zoo – in the Zoo.
Games for learning the English alphabet for children
Interesting games using the same cards will allow the child to get used to it faster and not get bored while learning the English alphabet. What can you play with your child:
Draw a letter
Tell your child a letter of the English alphabet and ask them to draw it with their fingers or with their body. You can play in turn and show some letters yourself.
“Draw a letter”
Put the alphabet cards in front of the child and invite him to draw the letter himself on a piece of paper. So he will quickly learn not only to visually recognize letters, but also to write them in the future. Similarly, you can take plasticine and ask the baby to mold the letters of the English alphabet from it.
Word Ball
A more active game in which you can pass the ball to each other and name letters in alphabetical order or, for more advanced ones, words that begin with that letter.
Stop song
Place the letter cards in front of the child and turn on the alphabet song in English. Stop it at an arbitrary moment – the child must repeat the last letter he heard and show the corresponding card.
yes-no
Cards with both letters and words can be used for this game. Show the child the image in the picture and say the word. So, you can show a picture with a pig (pig) and say “tiger” (tiger) out loud. If the child says “no”, then he should name what is actually shown in the picture.
Come up with your own games and tasks, ask your child what he would like to play. Watch cartoons in English together and sometimes address him with the usual requests in English and let him also sometimes use English words in everyday speech.
You can study online with your child. Puzzle English has developed a special English course for children, which includes the study of the alphabet, everyday items, simple questions and much more. And all this with bright pictures and interesting tasks so that the baby does not get bored. We recommend that you start teaching English to children with it.
The main thing is that the child should not be bored and learning the language does not turn into a routine for him.

best online learning tools | CodeMonkey
Our children are growing up in a much more digitalized world than we used to be. Thus, it is important to adapt educational tools to their content retrieval tools. So education makes sense. COVID-19accelerated the transition of education to digital technologies, while millions of children do not have access to the Internet. As a result of pandemic changes, every self-respecting parent should own practical learning tools. This will help their children learn well and keep their interest in new knowledge. Here we take a look at the best educational platforms designed specifically for kids, so read on if you have a young and curious student at home.
#1 Cool math
Most children hate math, and it’s understandable. Mathematics is a difficult task; there is usually only one answer, and if you don’t know some of the formulas or can’t do the calculations right, you’ll fail. Unfortunately, these problems often lead students to buy assignment paper from professionals instead of trying to figure out the rules of math on their own. Cool Math aims to solve this problem by giving math knowledge in a whole new way. It’s a great animation and a complex and simple approach helps students to see math in a different way, keeping their grades and improving their understanding.
#2 Education.com
You won’t find a more diverse and interactive platform than Education.com. Like many other free educational resources, it was created so that children can learn important scientific concepts and explore new topics with joy and ease. The resource is free, but after registration you will have access to a unique database with over 30,000 worksheets, exciting games and online activities. In addition, the website features an easy-to-use progress tracker and a huge community of teachers and parents sharing valuable teaching experiences. Currently, the platform is used in 20+ countries by almost 30 million users. In addition to the free resource library, Education.com offers paid options for schools and institutions. Teachers using Education.com’s features can automatically generate worksheets and lesson plans, and access key core resources.
#3 Funbrain
Funbrain is one of the few versatile online learning tools you can find online. It has learning resources for kids ages 1-13, which means your child can literally grow up on Funbrain. The website has advertisements that are shown between lectures and events. However, it’s a modest price to pay for a huge free resource of books, audios, lessons, games, and other activities that make learning fun for all ages. For the convenience of parents, the materials are divided into classes and topics.
ABC Mouse #4
The ABC Mouse platform is also a great resource for parents of children of all ages. It has two divisions – the Academy of Preschool Education for children from 2 to 8 years old and the Academy of Adventures for children from 8 to 13 years old. All activities are fun and exciting, learning is given in a playful way. The element of gamification can encourage your kids to progress further through the stages of the Academy as they can earn points and buy fun things with those credits. In addition, ABC Mouse has a children’s community. It has an integrated messaging system allowing members to chat, play learning games together, and form teams. In short, it’s like Minecraft, but much better in terms of educational value.
#5 Wonderscope
Are you worried about how to teach your child to read? Are you trying to spark an interest in reading in children? Then Wonderscope is definitely an option to test out. Of course, it’s not free, but the prices of this platform are quite affordable, and the application offers children an unforgettable augmented reality experience. Imagine the wonderful world of a book that your child reads to come alive in your apartment. Breathtaking, isn’t it?
What’s more, the characters are interactive and your child can play and talk to them using the voice and touch screen buttons. But the game isn’t all there is to Wonderscope; if children want the game to continue, they will need to read the words on the screen aloud. Otherwise, the magic will disappear.
#6 Sphero
If you can see that your child is into math, science and technology, Sphero is definitely the one for you. Designed specifically for STEAM learning for kids under 12, this platform is loaded with valuable science content and activities that also help in college. With this resource, your child will build their first programmable robot and learn the basics of engineering. Plus, it contains a variety of kid-friendly programming books and resources. They give children a unique chance to hone their programming and engineering skills at an early age. Once they have created their robots, young engineers can either program them using existing open source programs on Sphero or create their own programs and share them with their colleagues. Sphero is versatile, offering customized solutions for schools and teachers. In addition, it contains an extensive library of functions for home use.
#7 Soundtrack
If your child is more creative, Soundtrap is just what you need. This platform hosts a variety of learning tools and educational materials on music and podcasting. Maybe your underage is a future MTV superstar? You’ll quickly see this as you nurture your child’s musical talents with music production tools and features. Soundtrap contains over 4000 beats available for your child to mix. The app also has plenty of editing tools to help you create the soundtrack of your dreams. Plus, it has online collaboration tools to help kids get together and write their own music. When the music for kids is ready, they can upload their tracks to Spotify. A great creative start for young musicians!
Conclusion
As you can see, the variety of online learning tools is breathtaking. The pace of technological progress is so fast that the online marketplace offers dozens of options, no matter what your interests are. Another incentive to use online tools is the growing adoption of technology in colleges. Children are the main consumers of online educational materials, as their life is already unthinkable without digital technologies. We as parents can understand this trend. By choosing only quality and effective learning materials, we give our children a competitive edge in today’s knowledge-based world.
