Nothing brings winter together like sculpting a snowman together. It would seem that what can go wrong here? And yet, even in such a simple winter fun there are subtleties. Here are a few simple rules that will help you mold great snowmen and enjoy the process.

Do not rush immediately run outside to mold snowmen, as soon as the first snow has fallen. Dry fluffy snow mass is not suitable for this activity. Snow should be loose and moderately moist. It's easy to check. Roll a small snowball in your gloves. If it turns out to be dense and the right shape, you can safely go to work.

Choose a snow-covered area with plenty of room to spare. After all, you will have to roll large balls. It is desirable that the thickness of the snow cover was not less than 8-10 cm, otherwise the snowman will turn out small and with flecks of dirt. Install the snowman in the shade - in the rays of the sun he…

Most modern moms do not involve their children in helping in the kitchen. Spilled flour, dirty children's hands, vegetables or fruits scattered around the kitchen do not inspire women to culinary feats. "No, no, I'll do it myself!" - says every second mom and drives the child out of the kitchen. As a result of this approach, the child by adolescence does not know how not only to boil pasta or fry eggs, but also banal to warm up their food.

If you are sure in advance that this outcome you are not satisfied, it is necessary to involve the child in cooking literally from diapers, as soon as yesterday's onesie learn to walk. Ways to interest the child is a great many, all of them depend on the age and personal qualities of a small person.

Age 1-3 years. You do not need to forbid the child to "help". If the child burns with a desire to "do everything like mom", it is worth sitting him in a chair, give him kitchen utensils (whis…

Gifts should embody the qualities of the Yellow Dog, the symbol of the coming year. This is wisdom, abundance, fertility, wealth and fun.

One of the advantages of cross-country skiing is that you can start at any age and without special physical training. The main thing is to choose the right equipment, learn the technique and memorize a few practical recommendations. This is what our master class is dedicated to today.

Cross-country skiing is useful at any age. The fact is that when sliding on skis, the spinal column and joints are in a natural position and do not experience such severe loads as in normal running. At the same time, the muscles of the back, shoulder girdle, pelvis, thighs and lower legs are actively engaged. Regular training helps to strengthen and tone them. The heart, blood vessels and respiratory system also benefit. Cross-country skiing is also an immunity booster.

For beginners, ordinary recreational skis - wide, stable and with a good amount of flex - are the best choice. Ski boots should be chosen a size larger. Tight shoes constrict blood …

It has long been known that not only sports, exercise or classical meditation can bring the body and mind back to a stable state. Creativity and activities for the soul, which do not involve a lot of effort, also work well. For example, cooking delicious comfort food for yourself or loved ones.

It can be familiar dishes that we love from childhood, or something new, but with a detailed and understandable recipe. Food inspires, gives a sense of calm, stability and comfort. It is also a great reason to pamper those who are dear to us, to invite friends to visit or to visit them, as they do in old American movies.

However, it is not just about food! Why do people who are under stress are most often recommended to try meditation? This practice allows you to disconnect from all external stimuli and focus on internal sensations. Concentration is a component not only of meditation practice, but also of many other activities that are simpler and more creative.

Praise is a powerful stimulus for a child's actions and development. Natalia Poletaeva, psychologist and mother of three children, tells us how praise can help children form a healthy self-esteem and avoid problems in communication with peers.

We clap our hands when a baby takes his first steps and he tries to go even further. We admire the child's first drawings and handicrafts, which makes him really love creativity. We are proud of good grades - and the schoolboy diligently does his homework. We approve of the deeds and rejoice in the achievements of our children, and they try to be the best. All of this is the result of praise!

The main positive impact of praise is that the child gains confidence. Since he coped, it means that he will be able to achieve even greater results - so there is an increase in self-esteem of the child's personality: he realizes that he is loved, and he himself is happy to share his love with others.

If a child ha…
