| Methodical equipment of the center

Methodological equipment with unique educational, developmental and educational games seems to us very important for working with children not only of early age, kids with special needs, but also for children of primary and secondary school age. In our center, this is given great attention. And this is not accidental, because the lesson should be effective and efficient, in this, of course, correct, high-quality, multifaceted manuals, developing, educational games help specialists. There are more than 18,000 of them in our center and the database of benefits is constantly updated. The methodologists of our center create their own methodological developments for each manual. They closely monitor all global trends in children’s educational games, attend exhibitions, conferences, seminars, cooperate with many manufacturers of educational games and educational aids.

We are well aware that the basis of educational games is an important principle of learning – this is from simple to complex. This principle allows us to solve several problems related to the development of creative abilities in the game at once.

First , educational games can give food for thought from a very young age.

Secondly , their task-steps always create conditions ahead of the development of abilities.

Thirdly, , each time rising independently to its ceiling, the child develops most successfully.

Fourthly , educational games can be very diverse in their content,

Fifthly , while playing games with their children, fathers and mothers imperceptibly acquire a very important skill – to restrain themselves, not to interfere with the child, to think and make decisions for himself, not to do for him what he can and should do for himself.

The integration of educational games into the educational, developmental or correctional process has shown that the rate of mental development of babies can almost double. Of course, games are not at all some kind of elixir of talent, taking which “every other day for a tablespoon” you can achieve the desired results. Educational games, of course, cannot replace the program, the methodologist, the goals and objectives of the learning or development process. This is only one of the means of developing abilities, and it will be the more effective and useful, the less contradictions there are between the principles that formed the basis of these games, and the principles on which the entire system of dealing with children in the family is built. But it must be well remembered that children have a visual-figurative perception of reality, any most complex information can be assimilated by a child if he has managed to “feel” it, “pass it through his fingers”, experiment,0003

The game is a magic wand with which you can teach a child to read, write, and most importantly think, reason, invent and prove The game is not only development and learning, but also communication, communication and interaction.

Play is very important for the normal development of a child’s abilities, as it lays the foundation for a child’s future ability to read, write, count and think creatively.

Play has an undeniable influence on all aspects of child development.

Through play, a child learns to search, crawl, walk, run, climb, jump, throw, catch and balance – all of which offer great potential for developing physical (motor) skills. In the study of toys, the child improves the motor skills of fingers and hands, which further affects the development of his mental, speech and cognitive abilities.

Mental faculties undoubtedly develop from the first days of life. During the game, the child learns to draw conclusions, to assume the relationship of phenomena and processes. Children learn the properties of objects, the colors and sizes of the objects surrounding it, and all this through play activities. As for conversational skills and the process of communication, even here it is not complete without a game, so in the process of communication the child begins to understand and apply the basic rules of communication with people.

Team and role-playing games develop the social skills necessary for school and not only life, the child learns to cooperate, defend his point of view, and resolve conflict situations.

Emotional development is also necessary for a child, starting from early childhood. In role-playing, and just in team games, the baby gets used to working with his emotions. Rejoice in showing your happiness in public, hiding sadness and disappointment at the right moments.
