Draw and play with mom. Game workshops of Natalia Leykina: training program. If you care

Hello, dear friends, readers of "Native Path!".

I am pleased to introduce to you the author with whom we have been cooperating for the second year - Natalia Leykina. Natalia is a child psychologist, author of the site "Draw and play with mom". Natalia is a member of the team of authors of our Creative Free Internet Workshop of educational games "Through the game - to success!". Already a lot of readers of "Native Path" have passed her trainings and have written the best reviews about them.

About the author:

My name is Natalya Leykina, I am a child and family psychologist, mother of 3 sons and for 6 years now I have been a playing mother!

Once upon a time, it was difficult and boring for me to play, but after meeting one amazing person, my life and the life of my children changed dramatically.

I learned to play by myself (believe me, as a serious person, it was not easy); started teaching other parents, leading playgroups and trainings on the game. Now I can easily play the game, continue the story, and enjoy it, and most importantly, the children play! And just 6 years ago it was hard to imagine!

In our time, the game is depreciating, increasingly replaced by learning in the game. Although many parents know that it is important for children to play, they do not know how to help them.

Why is play so important in a child's life?

Why do I tell parents about how to play with children?

According to the latest Russian studies, only 5% of children aged 5-6 have a high level of play, and 60% have a very low level.

And the game is the main activity of a preschool child and is better than any moralizing and special classes. The game:

1. Teaches the child to manage himself and his life.

2. Strengthens self-awareness and feelings of self.

3. Enriches the behavioral repertoire and helps to cope with fears, shyness, aggression.

4. Develops the ability to negotiate and defend one's opinion, argue with reason and hear the interlocutor.

5. Develops imaginative thinking, which is the basis of abstract-logical.

6. Develops inner speech and essay writing ability in school.

7. The better the child plays, the more intensively the frontal cortex develops, which is responsible for most cognitive functions: distinguishing important information from irrelevant information, understanding and organizing one's own thoughts and feelings, planning the future.

9. Arbitrariness is formed: the ability to control one's behavior and emotions, to obey the rules, to rely in one's behavior not only on “I want”, but also on “must”.

10. The ability to create is laid up to 6-7 years! By supporting children's play activities, we give the child the opportunity to live a rich and happy life in the present and future. A life in which he will not go with the flow, obeying circumstances, but will be an active participant and co-creator of his own destiny, confident and successful!

Do you think your kid will learn to play in kindergarten or in developmental classes?

According to recent studies, 62.5% of educators have a level of development of play activity below the average (and 22% - zero!). How can the educator convey the culture of play?

In modern society, the idea that children's play is a waste of time is more and more reinforced. “Business is time, and fun is an hour!” . Often this is due to the tendency of early intellectual development. Already from 3-4 years old, children are overloaded with various activities: dancing, gymnastics, sports, development. And the amount of time for their age-related play in the child is reduced. As well as dreams, fantasy and spontaneous creativity!

So, in the lives of many modern children, the focus of attention is shifting to obtaining a variety of skills, learning sign systems (letters, numbers, etc.).

Maybe older friends will teach your child to play?

Yes, if they are well-playing children. But these are still to be found!

Our yard companies, where the younger ones could watch the play of the older ones, have disappeared. In kindergarten, children cannot adopt the game, since everyone plays at about the same level, and teachers rarely play with children and, mostly, games by the rules.

A game is an activity, and a child masters any activity together with the elders: children or adults. Gaming culture is passed down from the oldest to the youngest.

And it turns out that the children's age game is now a disappearing activity. It's time to put it in the Red Book.

What to do? Learn to play with kids! Speak their language! Yes, yes, the child's language is a game!

I invite you to look at the page where I tell in detail and clearly about the stages of the game and toys for children from 1.5 to 7 years old.

You remember that all my recommendations to you I first test on myself?! So this is how I prepared my boys for the new school year: sleight of hand and no cheating. More precisely, the dexterity of the arms, legs and other parts of the body in the aggregate of simple exercises. They did not even imagine that our funny dances and fun times would help them enter the new school year prepared. And these simple exercises are called "Brain Gymnastics". ⠀ Have you heard about Brain Gymnastics? Want to try the magic of simple exercises for yourself? Brain gymnastics is just 26 exercises that a child and an adult play with enthusiasm. These simple and enjoyable movements, without requiring a huge expenditure of strength and energy, educate, teach and treat both the child and the adult. ⠀ 15 minutes a day is enough for the symptoms of dyslexia, hyperactivity, disorders of the vestibular apparatus to disappear over time. Brain gymnastics teaches you to concentrate, be attentive, easily switch attention between the big picture and details, think and write creatively at the same time, and also improve memory, develop phonemic hearing. With the inclusion of active movement, learning of numbers, letters and writing is most effective. Brain gymnastics also helps a lot with sports, music, painting and dancing of all kinds, it helps to drive a car, to learn any new skills. ⠀ Brain Gymnastics exercises can be easily mastered.

Scroll through the carousel!! It's very atmospheric! Pictures from our trip to the castle! ⠀ The castle stood on a high mountain, the climb was long. It is not easy for a small child to overcome this. But everything changes when the baby is included in the game. ⠀ Through the game, we helped him and ourselves 😂 cope with a difficult road with pleasure, while we ourselves were charged with game energy. Gained impressions that are so important for the game. After visiting the knight's castle and playing games in it, Herman plays and plays knights. ⠀ I strongly advise you to start living playfully with children! Play not only in the children's room, but in any place where you are with your child. You will be surprised how much the game will bring to your life and how your relationship with your children will change! - 4 days ago

On Wednesday we went to the English game club for moms @timeclub_vmeste. I want to revive the language, I haven't spoken it for 15 years. I realized that this is mine from the "first two notes". Classes were held in the form of a game. There was a lot of excitement, laughter, pleasure, energy of daring. I watched with pleasure how mothers caught the wave of the game and continued to play on it with their children. We left with the Hero talking in English ☺ ⠀ I liked it here not only as a mother, but also as a psychologist. I understand what kind of salvation and support such a place can be for mom.

Kindergarten: to be or not to be? ⠀ Some people treat the kindergarten with hostility and disparagingly call it a "child storage". Others believe that kindergarten is useful and obligatory in a child's life. Supporters of the garden are sure that without it, children will not be able to develop normally, acquire independence. Opponents argue that kindergarten traumatizes children. And I understand them, despite the fact that I kind of liked being in the garden as a child. ⠀ At the beginning of my motherhood, I had difficult feelings for kindergartens. Until she herself worked in a private kindergarten "Under the Sun", but the story is not about that. ⠀ "So to be or not to be?" or "They're all so different." ⠀ In my life with three sons, I have solved this issue more than once. And it was different for everyone. Having experience in various kindergartens, I believe that the garden is needed not only by the child, but also by the family, as an extension of the attachment village. If care, development and upbringing falls only on the shoulders of the mother, less often on both parents, then these shoulders very soon begin to "sick". I like the proverb, it takes a whole village to raise one child. There is no village in the city, a kindergarten can be such an option. ⠀ You probably know: we have three beautiful boys in our family. ⠀ With my first child, I could not immediately categorically refuse the kindergarten without feeling for myself what it is. When deciding to send my eldest son to a kindergarten, I studied this topic. From relatives, some acquaintances and, especially, from colleagues, I constantly heard that going to kindergarten is a necessary part of life for the socialization of a child. That visiting the garden is important for the development of the baby, and without it it will be difficult for him later both at school and in life in general. I agreed, and besides, like a mother, I was worried if I was missing something in the development of my son. Therefore, I decided to figure everything out myself: both as a mother and as a psychologist. ⠀ We had several experiences with public gardens. The first is a group of short stays, only three hours a day. We were lucky: there were only 5 children in the group, and the teacher was wonderful. Continue in carousel➡️➡️➡️ - 14 days ago

Today I spent the day living a fairy tale in a group with Jungian analysts. They lived the fairy tale through their complex stories. They were looking for a way to their feelings and creativity. It was symbolic to end the year and start a new one. I recommend finding and reading a fairy tale. - 18 days ago

On Sunday, a meeting with mothers took place in the Anderson cafe on Sokol. ⠀ We had a productive time and managed to talk about important topics for every mom: 🔹 anger; 🔹 time for yourself; 🔹 balance between the needs of children and mothers; 🔹reactions to physical pain from a child; 🔹 the image of a good mother; 🔹requirements and expectations from children; 🔹Kindergarten. ⠀ In the second part, we played the super game "Telepath", where we laughed heartily and relaxed. At the end, I gave each participant two cards: one is a message from a real child, the second is from an internal one. All cards have been answered! 😊 Next time we want to play the game "emotional intelligence" and "empathic poker". ⠀ I'm waiting for you at the next meeting on September 08 at 11.00 in the Anderson cafe on Sokol (Leningradsky Prospekt, 74, building 8). The cost of attendance is 500 rubles. To register, please send a private message! - 24 days ago #leukinpsychologist - 29 days ago

It is not easy to experience a child's tantrums, hysteria can easily be "infected" and it is difficult to endure it. I share the experience of experiencing the hysteria of the son of a course participant.... ⠀ Day 2. Frustration of the son. The eldest son (3.5) is in the midst of a crisis. But most of the tears and tantrums happened at home, against the background of my fatigue or relationship with the younger. Aggression showed extremely rarely, more whined. And yesterday a classic happened! ⠀ Situation: a tantrum in a store called "buy"! There was everything: tears, a loud squeal, stamping his feet, throwing things (his own), jumping and screaming, screaming and crying a lot. I confess that this was the first time both with me and with him. ⠀ I used to think I was ready for this. Such situations are described in every book, article about three-year-olds. I read a lot, took trainings for parents. They certainly helped and gave a lot, but something was still missing. ⠀ During the tantrum, I tried to speak out the feelings of the child, to use active listening. And only work with Natalia, namely rewriting situations in writing, opened the way for me to harmoniously live such an experience. I always expected that after my right words and actions, my son would quickly stop crying. She voiced feelings, empathized, but waited for the end. And inside I was annoyed (unjustified expectations, uncomfortable place, trifling reason, etc.) This time it was different! ⠀ Thoughts: I really can't buy this toy right now. Now the hysteria will follow, it will be hard for all of us, but we can handle it. My child needs to live and mourn this. ⠀ Words and actions: hugged her son. He approached, then pushed away and again began to jump, stomp and scream. She started talking like before. Just didn’t wait for the end, didn’t explain why “no”. I had no expectations inside. I let go and let it be! How simple and how difficult it is at the same time. ⠀ My feelings: to my great surprise, there was no irritation in me! I got through this situation easily. ⠀ Did it help the child? Absolutely yes! I didn't comfort my son. She allowed me to cry and demand, to live through this storm, and she herself remained calm. ⠀ Continued in the carousel ➡️➡️➡️ - 1 month ago
