How to rise a comprehensively developed child

There exists a lot of theories how to rise kids, how to communicate with them. Many resources offer to read a lot of information on this topic. A large amount of books advice us how to be a good parent and what to do in a different situation.

Definitely, a lifetime won’t be enough to read these books. We probably shouldn’t be reading them all. You may have one or more handbooks that can give you the information you need about parenting. This will be the information that is closest to you.

But for the rest you must trust your heart, not books. Your soul should know better what is good for your child. It comes from the subconscious.

Every day you take care of your kids health by offering them healthier food. You want their bodies to be clean, not filled with toxins.

In the same way you should treat the other areas of development of the child’s personality. Think about what benefit will give him the cartoon that your kid is watching on TV now. Will it teach him something good or just clog his brain like junk food does?

Of course, Egor watches cartoons and educational videos with great pleasure. But he watches them only when he asks, not often. We never used cartoons to simply occupy a child.

This has formed into a positive habit and Egor constantly finds interesting activities at home such as: to sew Basik (favorite stuffed pet) a jacket, or make some crafts, cook handmade cookies and so on. Of course, I always try to help him if he asks.

But if the weather is good, we try to spend as much time in the fresh air as possible. Moving to Sochi, we received a wonderful opportunity to spend a lot of time with nature. In Sochi we met vegans and  families on a raw food diet. We have a tradition to spend every weekend in the arboretum with them. We can spend there for 5-6 hours. Kids are happy to run along the paths exploring the nature and having a snack on the top of the hill when tired.

Such walks charge kids for the next positive week at school, give an opportunity to communicate more time with friends and enjoy lovely scenery. Such walks give us, as moms, the opportunity to relax, communicate and share valuable experience.
