Reasons why a child SHOULD watch TV (and which rules to establish)




As a holiday season approaches and the schools are having a break you certainly as a parent want your time off too.
Fortunately for you, regardless of the undeniable harmfulness of excessive exposure of children to screens, there are also a number of positive effects of television on a child, provided that the child is watching a children's program, educational shows, appropriate animated films, documentaries ... Television provides information about the life and the world in which we live, which does not always mean bad things. It encourages the development of intellectual abilities, such as listening, understanding, and memory. Children approach letters and reading as well as foreign languages. If you notice a child showing interest in a particular foreign language, encourage it in many other ways. With a high-quality television program, the child expands his horizons, introduces the human values of this diversity.


Rules how and when children should not watch TV:

1. Do not watch cartoons early in the morning. If the first thing children see in a cartoon in the morning, it is very likely they will not be able to concentrate enough to follow the lessons or other demanding activities.
2. Do not watch cartoons before going to bed. This kind of adrenaline "good night" is not good because it means that there are no limits when a child should go to sleep so the children are crammed to bed at all.
3. Do not watch cartoons for a meal. Meals are rare moments when the whole family is together and can talk.
4. Remove the TV from the children's room. Any electronic devices will be used by children instead of preparing them for the night.
5. Do not punish your child with a ban on watching cartoons. Prohibition achieves the opposite effect: the desire to watch increases. It is necessary to determine and observe the rules on the time when a particular film is being watched.

Nursery/Kindergarten - The secret to a successful adaptation A child who comes to the nursery for the first time feels alone, lost and helpless. How can you help him? For most children, going to a nursery or kindergarten is the first separation from their parents. They see it as confronting an unfamiliar space, in which parents leave it to strangers. What does the period of adaptation of the child to the nursery or nursery look like? - we prefer to use the term adaptation, and the question that arises is: Who has a harder time living that period? The parent or a child? It is difficult for everyone to fall apart: to the parent - if he or she has never separated from the child, to the child - because he or she feels anxious about the parent. What should the adaptation for the kindergarten look like? ● The first arrival is purely “administrative” - the parent talks to the kindergarten director. ● On the second visit, there is a child with the parents - to see

Shouting at Kids, Does it Work ?

When you start your parental journey, do not even think that you can shout at your children. Well, these are just wonderful, small babies, so gentle and innocent. As your sweet baby grows, it becomes a little child, they are pushing harder and harder to test your limits and patience. Soon you realize that you are not the perfectly patient parent you thought you are.           Capture yourself as you argue with that little person who sounds very mature, but is actually very immature in his development. Testing you in ways you did not even know was possible. But your children are similar to you in some way, either by personality or temperament. These common features are part of what makes it easy for them to play with your patience.           The good news is that we are adults, mature and we can get ourselves out of the bad weather and take ourselves out properly in a stressful situation. This is what you should remember in those moments, when you would rather shou
