From the author: I want to tell you an entertaining story told by a grandmother who loves her granddaughter. Dinosaurs are among us! Hello my dear readers! I want to tell you an entertaining story told by a grandmother who loves her granddaughter .One evening, a five-year-old granddaughter, after watching her favorite TV show, asked her beloved grandmother: - Grandma, when you were little, what children's program did you like best? - When I was little, there were no televisions yet. - Like a grandmother , did you live with dinosaurs? Grandmother smiled gently and did not answer. This is how a child reacts if he is given not detailed information, but part or a fragment of information. This story clearly shows that circumstances and living conditions change so rapidly that Children have a hard time imagining how their loved ones lived before. No matter how much detail the child is told about the events, until a certain time children still compare them with what they are used to. This is why many parents' stories seem fantastic. The more complex what the parent describes, the more sophisticated distortion it is subject to. This means that the same story needs to be told to a child many times, in different contexts and at different age periods. Because the child’s perceptions and thinking are formed in the following way: he integrates verbal descriptions into the framework of the world he is familiar with. On the other hand, unusual images leave a significant mark on the memory and can participate in the formation of everyday ideas, since the child has not yet formed an objective (from the point of view of society) scale of ideas and values. The significance of new objects correlates with the internal value scale, which is determined by how much a particular phenomenon struck the child. Moreover, any message from an adult, if it is not presented to the child and is accessible to him, may be subject to distortion. From all of the above, the conclusion is obvious. If we don’t want to be dinosaurs for our children, then when demanding, explaining, telling something to a child, parents must explain their requirements in detail, repeatedly check how accurately the child understands what is being said. I look forward to your comments. Sincerely, psychologist Irina Revutskaya.
