• While children play, they explore the world and learn how to build relationships.
• If you do not want to play with your son, just tell him.
• Find your way to support the game ... or just do not interfere.

All begins from birth: tickling and caressing, splashing in the bathroom. Children grow up playing: they explore the world, they make discoveries every minute.

Young children need to discover the world themselves. They absorb life, they do not try to remember. Therefore, it is important that adults carefully observe the child's play, to support their efforts, such is the price of their future independence.

Children 3 to 4 years old are trying to understand how the world works, recognize themselves and learn to be friends with their peers.

In the game, parents are on equal terms with their children. "Therefore, they have the opportunity, in the game, discreet, to address any problem that affects their son or daughter, reduce the anxiety of children and unravel conflicts.

The game restores strength, allows you to experience victory, feel skillful, active, competent. Adults do not have to participate directly in it, but it is important to discuss their interests with the children and talk about theirs.

The time spent on the game is never lost. So, are you ready to join?

PLAY THE TRUTH

In the game we can teach the children.

• skills (drawing, using a hammer, swimming, cooking food ...);

• principles (team spirit, honesty, respect for the rules);

• Relationship with life (curiosity, taste for risk, perseverance).

But only if we ourselves master these skills and follow these principles. And if we are able to play real, creative, with enthusiasm.

Organize the space for the game, separate enough time to determine in advance when it's time to eat or study. Do not reproach that you are distracted all the time, do not be angry about the overturned paint. All pleasure will be spoiled as soon as you return to reality. Do not cheat by letting children win all the time. They feel cheated, such a victory humiliates them.

For young children, choose games in which many things decide where the participants do one thing in common.

CHOOSE SIMPLE GAMES

The market for games and toys has never been so diverse. But parents prefer the classics: educational games, "Monopoly" for older children.

To grow and develop, children do not need special toys; They have enough of what surrounds them.

Everything that lived independently develops a child much better than games with a stamp of .

Offer your child simple objects of daily life: natural artifacts (cones, stones, shells), household objects (spoons, bowls, clothespins) .When studying them, children will slowly develop abstract thinking: to compare , analyze, independently control color, shape, taste, quality, size .

Everything that is lived only develops a child much better than games with a stamp: they do not leave room to maneuver and literally destroy imagination and fantasy.

Teach children to talk about what they are playing, to explain the rules or to justify the strategy of the game. The child will select the exact words, highlight the cause and effect relationships, learn to speak so that it is understood.

Being able to stay away

Well, if the child can play alone. This means that the unknown does not frighten him, temporary failures do not frighten him, and he already knows that pleasure will await him as a result of his efforts.

In the game, children can show the most intimate emotions and sexual curiosity. They experience their aggressiveness and find pacification, unconsciously losing their fantasies.

That is why parents should not intervene, even if the child punishes a teddy bear or organizes a love meeting with their dolls.

There are provocations. For example, when playing, a 3-4 year old child can "smoke". Do not react violently, it will only stimulate your interest. "Try to understand why you need this game",

When a company of several children is playing, it is also reasonable to stay away, especially if you are not invited. Although this does not mean that you can not act as an arbitrator in a dispute or redistribute roles if one handles it and the rest becomes boring.

Do not feel obligated

If you do not feel like playing, it is important to tell the child directly that he does not like to play toy soldiers or "mothers-daughters". At the same time, radical statements should be avoided: "I will never play with you", "I do not like to play at all", "The game is boring". Because guilt can be "put into action" by participating indirectly in the game.

Support the child with some things like: clothes for dolls, cones, chopsticks magazines that your child likes so that in some way he collaborates with the child.

Some of us lack imagination, and we can not imagine a game that is not from the store.

But you can play anything: prepare breakfast together, compete, find more mushrooms in the forest, play "cities" on the way to school ... Find what you like: remember your childhood or, on the contrary, leave your current pastimes.

Offer the child a game according to his age, psychomotor and emotional development. Do not forget that the main thing is that you feel pleasure.
The outdoor games, creativity, modeling, painting, are the best.
Do not push too hard if you do not want to. The main criteria is to play and share the fun with the baby.
