Что должно быть в детской в 5 лет? Разбираю комнату девочки — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:16All right, everyone, hello. Today we
- 0:18are in simply a delightful apartment.
- 0:22It’s so clear that it’s not just,
- 0:24you know, a designer renovation; it’s
- 0:26truly stylish. And today we’re going
- 0:30to be sorting through a nursery for a
- 0:32girl who has just turned 5 years old.
- 0:35And, accordingly, we will look at her
- 0:37toys, let's say, her books, the storage
- 0:39organization, what’s sufficient, and
- 0:41what’s lacking. But honestly, when I
- 0:44walked in, the room was immediately
- 0:46very inviting. And the layout, in
- 0:50principle, if we look at the bookcases,
- 0:52yes, and the shelving here for
- 0:54creativity and play, it’s everything
- 0:56we love for five-year-old kids. And
- 0:59here, regarding this issue, everything
- 1:00is wonderful. So, we will simply deal
- 1:02with clearing out toys, see what is
- 1:04age-appropriate, what to aim for, and
- 1:06discuss what the child plays with and
- 1:08what she doesn't. There is a specific
- 1:10feature here. I don’t see the girl.
- 1:12That is, I cannot discuss things with
- 1:14her or see her reactions to this or
- 1:15that game. Therefore, I will blindly
- 1:17trust only her mom here. So we will
- 1:20discuss a little bit about the
- 1:22child’s character, what she’s
- 1:24involved in, what she has, let’s say,
- 1:27already outgrown, what she still plays
- 1:29with, and we’ll break down her
- 1:32creative interests. I want to note
- 1:34right away that the wall bars are
- 1:36beautifully done. From the perspective
- 1:38of the room, it’s probably about 11
- 1:40to 13 meters, plus the built-in closet.
- 1:42When you set up wall bars like this,
- 1:45with this kind of space, it’s just
- 1:48wonderful. And then, when parents think
- 1:51it’s time to unscrew it, you know,
- 1:53friends will still be coming over until
- 1:55the end of second grade, and the prime
- 1:57period is about to start, and they will
- 1:59start swinging on these. They will be
- 2:01using these hammocks. It seems to me,
- 2:03even in a small room. I haven’t had a
- 2:06single client—or at least in my
- 2:08circle, when I visit their homes—
- 2:10where no one was swinging on this
- 2:12hammock. It is genuinely in high demand
- 2:16, but closer to second or third grade,
- 2:18depending on the child’s temperament,
- 2:20it is naturally, let’s say, gradually
- 2:22removed. And usually, they keep the
- 2:25pull-up bar, or they keep it depending
- 2:28on whether the girl does dancing; they
- 2:30might leave crossbars like this, for
- 2:32example, while removing the rest and
- 2:34hanging a large mirror. A large mirror
- 2:37should appear here roughly—let me
- 2:39think—around second grade. The end of
- 2:42second grade, the beginning of third,
- 2:43100%. You remove part of the section
- 2:45and put a large mirror on the wall. Why
- 2:47do they start dancing? And in this way,
- 2:49they work through the fear of ugliness.
- 2:51The thing that starts in our
- 2:53adolescence. Prevention is dancing for
- 2:55both boys and girls. But we hang the
- 2:57mirror specifically for girls, because,
- 2:59well, for boys, let them hone their
- 3:01movements in other ways, like in sports
- 3:03. And so, here specifically in this
- 3:05room, I can clearly see that a mirror
- 3:07goes here, and two desks go here later,
- 3:09that is, how we plan for a desk and a
- 3:11non-desk. Regarding this table, in
- 3:14principle, it is perfectly sized for
- 3:17children under 7 years old. Well, if we
- 3:20are talking about dimensions and the
- 3:22chair, if you suddenly want to change
- 3:23it, you should just get a proper desk
- 3:25right away. That is, you don't need to
- 3:27come up with any other tables. This
- 3:28setup is more than enough until the
- 3:30first grade. So, if you are satisfied
- 3:32with it, and it fits well size-wise,
- 3:33then okay. If you are not satisfied,
- 3:35you immediately choose a proper school
- 3:36desk. The kind that grows with them,
- 3:38with all these tilting features and
- 3:40surfaces. I can see right away that you
- 3:42need to train the child to tidy up
- 3:44immediately. This applies to window
- 3:46sills. Here on the window sills, there
- 3:47are a great many different things. May
- 3:50I do this? I assure you, in adolescence
- 3:52, if you don't teach them right away,
- 3:54the window sill will become the zone
- 3:56where their whole childhood accumulates
- 3:58. Anything that isn't sorted out
- 3:59immediately becomes a bad habit. What
- 4:02is order, anyway? It is the ability to
- 4:05self-organize, to set priorities, and
- 4:08to discard non-priority tasks in the
- 4:11future. That is, when a person mixes
- 4:14everything together, we have an age
- 4:15when that is allowed—at 5 years old,
- 4:17in fact, up to 7 years old, a child can
- 4:19allow themselves anything they want.
- 4:21But even though they can allow
- 4:22themselves anything, we set priorities
- 4:25for order. Meaning, what is okay and
- 4:26what is not, periodically cleaning
- 4:28things out. If you don't teach them
- 4:30from the start to keep certain places
- 4:32clean, believe me, window sills are
- 4:34precisely the place they won't clean,
- 4:36where they dump their emotional clutter
- 4:38, and fail to try to reach a new level
- 4:40of growth. And most importantly, you
- 4:43really won't be able to handle it, you
- 4:45know, every time you could just walk up
- 4:46and throw everything into the trash.
- 4:48Therefore, just teach them, for example
- 4:50, if she collects LEGO, it's clear
- 4:52there will never be enough space for it
- 4:54. Buy some transparent containers for
- 4:56the LEGO. And then you just put these
- 4:58sets in them; you know, they're like
- 5:00shoeboxes. They are made of a type of
- 5:02plastic, you know, not like glass,
- 5:04strictly speaking, and they don't get
- 5:06dusty in there. You stack them on top
- 5:08of each other, and you get a LEGO
- 5:10section. It's just great. But this
- 5:12stuff here, it needs to be cleared out.
- 5:14And if you don't have enough storage
- 5:16space, since you have a dresser right
- 5:18here, you just put them here. They cost
- 5:21—I recently bought some for one of my
- 5:23clients—1,200 rubles. They are like
- 5:25little cabinets with drawers. It’s a
- 5:27stand, you know, on plastic legs with
- 5:29pull-out drawers. And all her junk goes
- 5:31in there, because looking at the art
- 5:33supplies, I can see this won't be
- 5:35enough. So, I don't know what you have
- 5:37stored here,
- 5:38>> it's art supplies. Well, everything is
- 5:39art supplies, but generally speaking.
- 5:42So, there are art supplies here, and
- 5:44art supplies in those drawers, and if
- 5:45we're talking about not having enough
- 5:47room for LEGO, you can find them on
- 5:49Ozon. Like for Alena, a girl who just
- 5:52turned 8. She ordered a cabinet for
- 5:55just 8,000 rubles. At the bottom,
- 5:57it’s the same width, exactly the same
- 5:58. At the bottom there are these drawers
- 6:00, and shelves on top. But behind glass,
- 6:03because if you have LEGO, believe me,
- 6:05it's better to use a display case so it
- 6:06doesn't get dusty. I know how
- 6:09collecting goes, and they end up being
- 6:11lower down. So, the child sees the
- 6:13bottom shelf at eye level, and then
- 6:15there's this exhibit, which she can't
- 6:16really see anyway because it's placed
- 6:18there, but it's meaningful. You get rid
- 6:20of that dust, and then you don't even
- 6:22need to buy those, you know, sometimes
- 6:24storage systems, all those organizers,
- 6:27cost more than buying a proper cabinet
- 6:29for the room. I'm serious. I have
- 6:32already, well, I’ve calculated it.
- 6:35And so, if you put it here—especially
- 6:37since your wall color is very nice—
- 6:38that kind of budget furniture is
- 6:40everywhere, and it assembles in seconds
- 6:42. You put this cabinet right in this
- 6:44spot, and half of your storage needs
- 6:46are solved, and the windowsill is
- 6:48cleared. So, let's start with the
- 6:50mistake. Now let's turn our attention
- 6:52to this cabinet. It's very well
- 6:54organized for a child, yes. But here we
- 6:56have an emotional craft from New Year's
- 6:58, and New Year's was a long time ago,
- 6:59right? Up there, a 5-year-old child,
- 7:04from their height, cannot see that
- 7:06shelf. So it turns out it’s just
- 7:09clutter for you, and for the child,
- 7:10it’s meaningless. If something is
- 7:12emotionally valuable to you, you put it
- 7:14in an emotional box that you keep up
- 7:16there on the mezzanine somewhere. Then
- 7:18you sort through it, take photos, make
- 7:20a book, whatever you like. And if a
- 7:22child remembers it, for example, a year
- 7:24later, they go through it and see that
- 7:25it’s been saved. Children have one
- 7:27particular trait. It’s not important
- 7:28to them, you know, that it sits there
- 7:30for years. What matters to them is the
- 7:32simple fact that it was kept. And when
- 7:33they see that it has been saved, when
- 7:35we talk about things they put their
- 7:36effort into. But crafts can be
- 7:38different. Honestly, I don’t really
- 7:40see much value in this specific story.
- 7:42The fact that she just took and glued
- 7:44on some beads or rhinestones, she's
- 7:46done that many times. Another point is
- 7:48who she did it with; if she did it at
- 7:50some event, or with grandma. If not,
- 7:53then you know, this is a story where,
- 7:55when you have a lot of these crafts
- 7:56lying around, when we sort through a
- 7:58closet, for example, the child sees it
- 8:00and we say: "Choose what is valuable to
- 8:02you." And then they throw away the
- 8:04things that weren't really special
- 8:06themselves. So, you know, how would I
- 8:08do it? I think I’ll get involved
- 8:10after all. We’ll at least pull out
- 8:12everything from the top shelves, and
- 8:14when she arrives,
- 8:15>> Uh-huh.
- 8:15>> you and she can sort through this chaos
- 8:17and put it into large bags without me,
- 8:18and then you can message me later to
- 8:20say what percentage it was. And
- 8:22regardless, children need to be taught,
- 8:24even if there are some tears, to get
- 8:27rid of things. Knowing how to part with
- 8:30things is also a skill that needs to be
- 8:32taught, especially when you can afford
- 8:35certain, well, moments. Because
- 8:38there’s a very common mistake in
- 8:39business, you know: a person invests in
- 8:41a project, believes in it, puts money
- 8:43and time into it, the project doesn't
- 8:45take off, but they feel bad about the
- 8:47investments they made. And so they end
- 8:50up losing even more, right? This moment
- 8:52, when you teach children in childhood
- 8:54to get rid of the unnecessary, is about
- 8:55making quick decisions when we realize
- 8:57that our investments haven't paid off.
- 8:59Note that these investments don't just
- 9:01apply to material things, right? You
- 9:04lose weight, you gain weight, or you
- 9:06need to clean out the closet, things
- 9:08are out of fashion; for instance, why
- 9:10don't we all wear the earrings from our
- 9:12Soviet childhood that we all had?
- 9:14Because that’s not how people wear
- 9:15them now. And you need to be able to,
- 9:17uh, get rid of this or process it
- 9:19somehow, right? It's the same thing.
- 9:21Let's put it this way. Friends, a
- 9:22friendship that has run its course,
- 9:23relationships, when a marriage, excuse
- 9:25me, or you're living in a first
- 9:27relationship, you realize it’s not
- 9:28for you, well, I’ve invested so much,
- 9:30or something else. So, in reality, when
- 9:32we talk about order in a room, we’re
- 9:34implying a huge spectrum of different
- 9:36relationships. Therefore, you have to
- 9:38learn, yes, it’s painful. It’s
- 9:40always painful, unpleasant. Okay, this,
- 9:42I understand, has something to do with
- 9:43creativity. Everything related to
- 9:45creativity should always be accessible.
- 9:47If we are talking about a creative
- 9:49child, it cannot be up on the ceiling.
- 9:51Or perhaps it's something you’re
- 9:52saving up for something, right? But in
- 9:55fact, what do I usually put up on the
- 9:56ceiling? On the top shelf, I put away
- 9:59games for when they're older. That is,
- 10:01when we play only with a parent, she
- 10:02can’t play alone yet, so it’s not
- 10:04important for her to reach it herself.
- 10:06The second point is books for when
- 10:07she's older. Did you remember what the
- 10:09top shelves are for? It’s the same
- 10:10thing here. Games for when she's older,
- 10:12books for when she's older, everything
- 10:14that is here, everything she has
- 10:16permission to take for creativity, she
- 10:17gets it. If you have creative supplies
- 10:19for the future, then put them in a
- 10:21separate container so there is no
- 10:23visual clutter for her. That is, she
- 10:25already understands, and you know, that
- 10:27this box contains your treasure that
- 10:28will be for her later. So I don’t
- 10:30know where you are going to put it.
- 10:32>> Well, somewhere lower.
- 10:33>> Lower, yes. So, again, a 5-year-old
- 10:36child won’t be able to reach this
- 10:37here. But she draws a lot right now,
- 10:39it’s obvious. That means this should
- 10:42go down for us. So, alright. Again, if
- 10:44we’re talking about cars, if they are
- 10:46played with,
- 10:47>> then they should be down below. So,
- 10:49here we have a good story. This chest
- 10:52of tales knowledge, it develops memory
- 10:54very well. I remember such stories,
- 10:57they are very rare to find and play
- 10:59with now, and she has only just turned
- 11:015. You still have potential in this
- 11:04game somewhere. I think that, looking
- 11:06at your games, if you are more or less
- 11:09engaged, if you, mm, play it once or
- 11:12twice a week, just a little bit, then
- 11:15this game will last you half a year.
- 11:18Then it disappears for you. And,
- 11:20accordingly, if you don't play with it,
- 11:22then it also disappears, because, well,
- 11:24what's the point, right? There. And,
- 11:26accordingly, we know that the child
- 11:28doesn't read yet. Accordingly, she can
- 11:30play this game only with her mom.
- 11:32Therefore, such a game is safely put on
- 11:35a higher shelf.
- 11:36>> We won't put it down below because it
- 11:37is this way. I can open it.
- 11:39>> Yes.
- 11:41>> Here again, we have these wonderful
- 11:42toys, whether she plays or doesn't play
- 11:44,
- 11:45>> of course, since she doesn't see them.
- 11:47>> Well, she doesn't play because she
- 11:48doesn't see them. If we say: "Clean
- 11:50this up." Naturally, she will need it.
- 11:53>> But in fact, you can just put this box
- 11:54here, she won't even open it, and say:
- 11:56"Remember, we give this system to
- 11:58children who have nothing,
- 12:00>> and we'll buy you one normal new toy"
- 12:02that you will want. Believe me, in this
- 12:04format, this junk is gotten rid of
- 12:06quickly. But when I come to children
- 12:09who at least know me, with whom I've
- 12:10had tea sometimes, I make them put all
- 12:12this away themselves right in front of
- 12:14me. Not with any persuasion, but just,
- 12:17yes, you will get a toy, but they say:
- 12:19"Oh, I need this horse. Oh, I need this
- 12:23one here, look, it's a treasure chest
- 12:25of junk." There. And it's clear that
- 12:27this has already been played out. Again
- 12:29, this collection of our wonderful
- 12:31Kinder Surprise toys. Well, some things
- 12:34, in short, if they are really needed,
- 12:36go into a memory box for a year, yes,
- 12:37because the volume is small. And, in
- 12:40principle, it's here, well, she clearly
- 12:41doesn't play with this.
- 12:43>> But in fact, you can, actually, easily,
- 12:46well, you can make it so the child
- 12:48stays. So, here we have an expensive
- 12:51doctor's kit, of course. I can already
- 12:53see by the quality. She plays.
- 12:55>> No, she was given a doctor
- 12:57>> board games. Yes, there
- 13:00>> they are, you know, even when you don't
- 13:02have time, she is 5 years old, you can
- 13:04find many games, you know, for when
- 13:06you're lazy, when you don't strain
- 13:08yourself, but the child figures
- 13:09something out there. This here is a
- 13:12waste of time. I can see by you that
- 13:14this is not your case. You don't need
- 13:15this. Therefore, you know, honestly,
- 13:18looking at this, you can do this
- 13:19without her. And leave a few things for
- 13:22her to choose from, to train her,
- 13:24because the volume can be intimidating.
- 13:26You definitely don't need this. The age
- 13:27is not right anymore.
- 13:28>> Oh, excellent.
- 13:31>> This is Dad's thing, right?
- 13:34>> This is from her older sister.
- 13:35>> From her older sister. Usually, such
- 13:39things, if you don't have a son, girls
- 13:41assemble once every six months with
- 13:43their dad, and then they safely leave
- 13:45it in their memory for life as an
- 13:47emotional recollection. But to say that
- 13:50we should dedicate an entire space on
- 13:52an open shelf to this, honestly, well,
- 13:55you already get it, right? I think
- 13:57there is some top shelf in a closet
- 13:59somewhere, right, where we can put it,
- 14:01and put it on dad's, you know where? On
- 14:03the schedule. You should have a
- 14:04schedule. And some holidays or breaks
- 14:07start. And you say: "Honey, I'm going
- 14:09shopping with the girls, with my
- 14:11friends. You take it out, put it down,
- 14:13and say:" Take a picture of the
- 14:14finished model for me. "You assemble it
- 14:16together, put it away, and that's it.
- 14:18And then you donate it to an orphanage
- 14:19for the New Year. Wonderful. But boys,
- 14:21of course, do assemble these things.
- 14:23There's nothing even to say there.
- 14:24Therefore, you see, a shelf is already
- 14:26clearing up over there. Everything is
- 14:28great. I want to tell you honestly, for
- 14:303-year-olds, I don't like it when they
- 14:31assemble these kinds of things. I see
- 14:33that this is new, unopened. Yes.
- 14:35>> And you know what? When going to visit
- 14:37someone, give it as a gift.
- 14:38>> Uh-huh.
- 14:39>> I—Well, we are taking this out of
- 14:41sight. I'll explain. It's just that
- 14:43it's not about this Creator set, like,
- 14:45yes, it's understandable, a puppy, a
- 14:46squirrel, and so on, but simply, seeing
- 14:48the child's room, I understand that her
- 14:50potential is already a bit...
- 14:53>> Uh-huh. higher. Let her assemble a pink
- 14:55LEGO Porsche, you understand? It's good
- 14:58for motor skills, and girls like it.
- 15:00And you can also buy lighting for it,
- 15:02>> and it will shine, you know, in the
- 15:04night, like a nightlight. It will be a
- 15:05very beautiful LEGO set that will
- 15:07become a design object. Plus, you have
- 15:09accents, so it will become for you not
- 15:11just a toy, but a design element. And
- 15:14in this way, you are shaping the
- 15:15child's taste.
- 15:16>> So,
- 15:17>> this is what I'm hiding to throw away.
- 15:20Oh, so this is what—Can we just—No,
- 15:23wait, this is creativity. This is very
- 15:26old.
- 15:26>> This is creativity. So, let's do it
- 15:29right away. Can we, can we just get
- 15:31some trash bags? Let's—because this
- 15:34is an origami craft kit, we need this.
- 15:36These are crafts for kindergarten,
- 15:39school, and so on. An adorable room. I
- 15:42really like it. Honestly, I am very
- 15:45pleasantly impressed. And I am very
- 15:47comfortable. Honestly, I didn't expect
- 15:50that either, we have creativity here, a
- 15:52magnetic game of skill. Guys, I want to
- 15:55be honest with you, people really love
- 15:57to give these kinds of things when they
- 15:59don't know what to give. I've said many
- 16:01times that this is a one-time thing,
- 16:03which is better to take to a summer
- 16:05house or give to those who have a big
- 16:07house where it can be put. But you
- 16:09don't take it out. It is
- 16:11>> very rare. Honestly, regift 10 items at
- 16:17a time.
- 16:18>> And the same thing. Here we are again
- 16:19trying to hit it with our hand, right?
- 16:21No, play checkers.
- 16:23>> Uh-huh.
- 16:24>> This can go here too. Well, all the
- 16:26more reason. So why should we waste
- 16:28time on this?
- 16:29>> Okay, let's move on to the ceiling.
- 16:31Here we have LEGO. This is, well, I
- 16:33don't know, more interesting. Well, or
- 16:35see for yourselves. It seems to me, if
- 16:37this is her theme, you definitely don't
- 16:39play this anymore.
- 16:40>> Uh-huh. This is what we play from three
- 16:42to five. This is a cool story, but
- 16:44>> it's for growing into.
- 16:45>> It's not for growing into, it's to play
- 16:48now.
- 16:49>> But she gets scared. Well, that's
- 16:50exactly why she needs to get over the
- 16:51fear through play.
- 16:52>> Oh, yeah,
- 16:53>> she will work through the fear this way
- 16:54. She's sitting with you, the parents,
- 16:56it's safe, everything is great. Just
- 16:58these sudden things, it pops up there,
- 17:00right?
- 17:00>> These sudden things. Well, let her work
- 17:02through it through play. On the
- 17:04contrary, it needs to be played out now
- 17:05. If your child is afraid of something
- 17:07in a game, it's better for them to
- 17:08experience these fears with you, you
- 17:10know. What are horror movies for? To
- 17:13train the nervous system for teenagers.
- 17:17You learn through a safe experience,
- 17:19and your body's reactions don't
- 17:21overwhelm you later when you actually
- 17:23encounter something, well, here it's
- 17:26about suddenness, right, that someone
- 17:28suddenly started drilling and that's it
- 17:30. We'll make everything look nice here
- 17:35now. Honestly, if we are talking about
- 17:39LEGO, I would choose some girlie themes
- 17:41, you know the ones I like more for
- 17:43girls. And I would recommend, look, if
- 17:46your girl really loves nature, is
- 17:49obsessed with animals and so on, that's
- 17:51one thing. But if she builds LEGO, but
- 17:55isn't obsessed with it, age 5 plus, I
- 17:57would still collect those sets where,
- 17:59even if no one is playing with the LEGO
- 18:02, she at least, by building these
- 18:04castles, these, let's say, LEGO has
- 18:06these whole cities, right, girlie ones,
- 18:09where there's a cafe, a hair salon, a
- 18:11beauty salon, a car, a vet clinic—
- 18:13while the child is building, they are
- 18:16already fantasizing about how they are
- 18:18playing with it. And this spark of
- 18:22imagination gives us a much better
- 18:24return on the same investment than
- 18:26assembling these 5+ sets. They can be
- 18:29beautiful, cool, and look great in an
- 18:31interior. That’s one thing, but when
- 18:33you accumulate a lot of them, see,
- 18:35it’s not just one, you realize, well,
- 18:37it has value, but if you can assemble
- 18:38something that brings more benefit to
- 18:40creativity, I’m all for making your
- 18:42money work more effectively, so to
- 18:44speak. Honestly, I would pass this on
- 18:46to someone.
- 18:47>> Uh-huh.
- 18:47>> And I would buy something that...you
- 18:49get it, right? Yes,
- 18:50>> a meaningful plot. They don't play with
- 18:52this. It's like boys with a police
- 18:54station. They pretend they're going to
- 18:56play with a LEGO police station. No,
- 18:57they won't play with it. It will keep
- 18:59breaking, and they'll lose interest.
- 19:01How they actually start playing. But
- 19:03while he’s rebuilding it, he’s
- 19:04already played through the stories in
- 19:06his head of how he would play with that
- 19:07police station. I can't take" Assemble
- 19:09the Pattern "away from you right now,
- 19:11because if we’re talking about games
- 19:13that really make you think, these are
- 19:15the ones neuropsychologists recommend,
- 19:17even up to teenage years. tasks. So
- 19:20here you have a booklet, and you start
- 19:22with simple tasks, with four cubes, but
- 19:24not by shape anymore. There are
- 19:26elements there, right, you have to
- 19:27assemble it, there’s a little sample
- 19:29for you, and you have to assemble it,
- 19:30please, right? And then without
- 19:33dividers. Therefore, if at some point
- 19:36you really want her to put her brain to
- 19:37work, you have one wonderful box, and
- 19:39I’m putting it on top. Why? Because
- 19:42children don’t reach for games like
- 19:43this on their own. Well, you have this
- 19:45album right here,
- 19:47>> so just take it, and you don’t need
- 19:49this small album anymore.
- 19:51>> I mean, if you’re planning another
- 19:52child, you can just set them aside
- 19:54because, well, what's the point,
- 19:55they’re in good condition? Here is
- 19:57another puzzle, yes, cool and quick.
- 20:00It’s very cool and fits her age
- 20:03really well. And now look, precisely
- 20:05because we have this cool" Airport "
- 20:07puzzle, that is why I am putting away"
- 20:09Little Red Riding Hood, "because it’s
- 20:11a bit too young for 5 years old. This
- 20:13says they played it. She'll get through
- 20:17these stories too quickly if we engage,
- 20:19so we don’t need it. Again, based on
- 20:22what the child already has, yes, now
- 20:24I’ll take a look at what you have
- 20:25here. These are pure Nikitin blocks.
- 20:29>> Take them. This is the same thing. We
- 20:31have three toys. They are roughly the
- 20:34same. When we say you have a limited
- 20:36budget, look carefully at what you're
- 20:38buying and for what age, because it’s
- 20:40all the same thing. Here, we've already
- 20:43saved 1,000 rubles. And when we clean
- 20:45out closets and see repetitive things
- 20:47—sometimes, believe me, I have
- 20:49clients who buy everything without
- 20:50looking, and there’s 200,000 worth of
- 20:52stuff on the shelves that is all
- 20:54basically the same. Since we have a
- 20:56good foundation here, right, but these
- 20:58are travel games. We'll just keep these
- 21:00for travel. This one is finished.
- 21:02>> It’s a relic
- 21:04>> for her. I’m keeping this because
- 21:06there should always be some kind of
- 21:08travel game, you know, even up to the
- 21:09teenage years. This is some kind of
- 21:11memory, I see she got it from somewhere
- 21:13, yes,
- 21:14>> this goes in the memory box. How do I
- 21:15determine if an item doesn't have much
- 21:17emotional value? It's just lying on a
- 21:19top shelf somewhere for no reason. But
- 21:21as soon as a child sees some memories,
- 21:22and you can see this is a postcard
- 21:24brought back from a trip, it’s an
- 21:25emotional piece, but it has served its
- 21:27purpose. So let it stay in the memory
- 21:29box, and that gives us the right kind
- 21:32of relief, knowing that everything is
- 21:34okay. Winter songs.
- 21:37>> She sings and plays.
- 21:39>> Well, she sings and plays. Let's leave
- 21:40this for New Year's. Let the winter
- 21:42theme stay for winter. Children enjoy
- 21:44doing this very much. Is the graphics
- 21:47tablet working?
- 21:48>> Anymore. No.
- 21:49>> Why am I asking? Because they usually
- 21:51break down very quickly. We need to
- 21:53know if it works or not." Cheese Castle
- 21:55"can be played with children if guests
- 21:57come over this year, and then you put
- 21:59it away. In your case, specifically in
- 22:02your case, it’s a good game, but some
- 22:05children need to move on, right?
- 22:09Everything here is clear and
- 22:10understandable. I’m going to tidy
- 22:11things up for the final result. The
- 22:13game is in perfect order. Well, at most
- 22:15, there's just a little bit left to
- 22:16play with friends. So, friends will
- 22:18come over, she'll play it, and it's a
- 22:20good game, really. Well, Quoridor is
- 22:22just that. Quoridor is essentially a
- 22:24strategy game, but you said she already
- 22:26plays chess. Yes.
- 22:27>> Yes.
- 22:27>> Are you still playing Katamino or not?
- 22:30>> See, the foundation you mentioned that
- 22:32you play with is a good one. If you
- 22:34play with it, you are already satisfied
- 22:36. This, well, will stay for friends.
- 22:41When they come over to see her this
- 22:42year, the start will begin. This is the
- 22:44formation of friendship, if they move
- 22:46to another level of games, I really
- 22:48hope so. You have this" Don't Wake
- 22:51Daddy, "and also, well, in short, you
- 22:53will remove it, but for now it stays,
- 22:56right, why? Because they start with
- 22:59this,
- 22:59>> you know, to have fun, to giggle. But
- 23:02as soon as you lead them to some more
- 23:04sensible games, I am counting on this,
- 23:07you take this and just quietly move it,
- 23:09right, to another place. Well, look,
- 23:12here is just an example for you. Your
- 23:15girl can reach this shelf, on this
- 23:17shelf stands this box, it is quite
- 23:19heavy. On this box there is a pile of
- 23:21clutter. I mean, I immediately
- 23:23understand that, well, it's the same
- 23:25for a child, it's an instant
- 23:26devaluation of what's inside and what's
- 23:28outside. It's not just Valya coming
- 23:30over as some, you know, neurotic who is
- 23:32tidying up for you. I am showing you
- 23:34how you are taking away from your
- 23:36children the value of money, the value
- 23:38of work, and the value of objects. Guys
- 23:40, things like this cost 150 rubles.
- 23:42Each child has a separate place for all
- 23:44their drawings. Drew something, folded
- 23:46it, drew something, folded it, drew
- 23:48something, folded it. When it's full,
- 23:50you sort through it, throw away what's
- 23:52not needed, and put what is needed into
- 23:54a memory box. And in this way, your
- 23:56child learns from the start to treat
- 23:58their own creativity with value. Value,
- 24:01you see, this is how it's formed. And
- 24:03you won't have visual noise. And
- 24:05separately, you have some instructions,
- 24:07some manuals that are currently in use,
- 24:09and that's it. Color Code. Has she
- 24:11finished playing with it or is she
- 24:12still playing?
- 24:13>> Still playing.
- 24:14>> Yes, we leave this, Color Code. But
- 24:17since it's Color Code, right, I've
- 24:19already realized that this is a story
- 24:21where she can do it herself, so it will
- 24:23need to be moved to a lower level. We
- 24:25will get to that now. So, Alias Junior
- 24:28needs the adult version, but she is on
- 24:32the threshold of 5 years old, so in the
- 24:35near future. There. What is the
- 24:37children's version? When a child cannot
- 24:39read, they look at the picture, right?
- 24:41Therefore, as soon as she learns to
- 24:43read, you switch to the adult version.
- 24:46Okay, for now I'm leaving it, but I'm
- 24:47putting it up high. Why? Again, so the
- 24:50child sees it; I don't put it on the
- 24:52very top, so the child can know what
- 24:53they have, point a finger, and say,"
- 24:55Let's play this. "But because this game
- 24:57can't be played without parents. Well,
- 24:59this one can't be played without
- 25:01parents either, so we'll play this here
- 25:03too for now. Are your board games only
- 25:05kept here? Yes.
- 25:06>> Yes.
- 25:06>> Got it, I just wanted to know what and
- 25:08how to do things. Rummikub. Well, for
- 25:11trips, this is just a delight. But you
- 25:13have to take it out, you know, like if
- 25:15you want to use a treadmill, it has to
- 25:17be in plain sight, not tucked away
- 25:19under the bed. If you want your child
- 25:22to take photos and learn how to use
- 25:24this device starting at age 5, they all
- 25:26do it perfectly fine. It has video and
- 25:28everything else, too.
- 25:29>> Just take it out of the box and put it
- 25:31somewhere for her, like
- 25:33>> in an area, well, let's say in a low
- 25:35zone. Well, you know, if it's lying
- 25:38there, I want to tell you, as an adult,
- 25:40it's very heavy. It's not just heavy,
- 25:43it's very heavy. And accordingly, even
- 25:46if the child needs it, they won't be
- 25:47able to get it, which means they've
- 25:49already given up on those toys. I think
- 25:51that this torn stuff, teach your
- 25:53children that when an item is ruined,
- 25:54either you fix it,
- 25:56>> or you, or you throw it away. These
- 25:59half-measures in a beautiful interior
- 26:02are basically giving yourself
- 26:04permission to settle for mediocre items
- 26:07, so you aren't setting a standard for
- 26:09yourself. You know how people pride
- 26:12themselves on having a mug for 20 years
- 26:14that's chipped and so on." But this is
- 26:16my mug. "But maybe it's time to switch
- 26:19to a new mug and say," Please bring me
- 26:21an exclusive mug from some country. "Is
- 26:24this the mug, then? Yes, this mug. But
- 26:27then again, just so you understand, I
- 26:29threw it away and Dima says," Where?
- 26:31Where is it? "In short, from the Czech
- 26:33Republic. We don't have Moser in Russia
- 26:36right now. It's Czech glass, I collect
- 26:39expensive glasses. And they were shaped
- 26:41like Darth Vader, these big glasses.
- 26:42And they had chips right, you know, at
- 26:44the level of the, I was putting them in
- 26:46the sink and slightly...
- 26:47>> chips. I threw them away. He says," But
- 26:49they were... "I say," It's nothing,
- 26:50nothing, it will be a goal to bring new
- 26:52ones, get them, find them. "I say," But
- 26:53these aren't to be kept, this is about
- 26:55your attitude toward yourself, because
- 26:57that's how a decline in, let's say, a
- 26:59decline in standards begins, and that's
- 27:02not good. "And a decline in the quality
- 27:03of life. Let's not get the child used
- 27:05to such moments. Oh, what interesting
- 27:07LEGO. My goodness.
- 27:09>> Yes, it's...
- 27:11>> Wow, how beautiful. Dad,
- 27:14>> I understood, I won't touch it. This is
- 27:17just like, you know, something you
- 27:19should put on a shelf, buy one, and set
- 27:22it up right at the start of the school
- 27:24year. Well, I would put this on the
- 27:26dresser. Here we have everything for
- 27:29working, and here for decoration. Well,
- 27:32up to 3 years old, again, only if you
- 27:34want to give it to another child, but
- 27:37do you know what to do first? Wash it
- 27:39in the washing machine in a lingerie
- 27:41bag.
- 27:41>> Uh-huh.
- 27:42>> Do you know how LEGO gets cleaned? You
- 27:45buy large laundry bags with a zipper,
- 27:47not a drawstring, because the strings
- 27:49come undone and everything spills out.
- 27:51And basically, you set it to a regular
- 27:53wash cycle. Your LEGO will be as good
- 27:55as new. And if you decide to sell it,
- 27:57because many moms have this LEGO piling
- 27:59up and list it on sites like Avito by
- 28:00the bag, for example, it's clean and
- 28:02everything is the same. We wash mosaics
- 28:04in exactly the same way. So that’s a
- 28:06life hack for you; look at how empty
- 28:07our shelves are now, because while some
- 28:09things will go there, half, the main
- 28:11half, is already being cleared out.
- 28:13Okay, only balls or stuff like that
- 28:15here.
- 28:15>> Right, I get it. Now, things with
- 28:18instructions, those stay in a separate
- 28:20folder. All your instructions are kept
- 28:23here. Now we’ll get to some puzzles.
- 28:26Yes. The size is a definite no. No, not
- 28:31for anyone at all. I wouldn't even
- 28:33recommend re-gifting this to anyone.
- 28:35There is absolutely zero benefit in
- 28:36these puzzles. They are very large.
- 28:38They’re just, you know, you’ve
- 28:40spent your time, you only have 24 hours
- 28:41, I always say. There are
- 28:43hyper-intelligent, developed children,
- 28:44and there are children who are given
- 28:45everything, and it’s like the
- 28:47question is, what have you provided for
- 28:48their development? This has 24 pieces.
- 28:50Definitely no. I’m even curious to
- 28:52see the size. The same thing,
- 28:53absolutely no. Here we have a T-P
- 28:56puzzle, 54 pieces, small, cute. I would
- 28:59keep this, well, for variety, for
- 29:01example, if we go somewhere. If she
- 29:03likes puzzles and puts them together.
- 29:05260 pieces. When she is assembling 260
- 29:07pieces, she won't be assembling
- 29:09unicorns anymore. She will be
- 29:11assembling completely different
- 29:12pictures and themes. This story is, you
- 29:15know, neither here nor there; it
- 29:17doesn't fit into either age category
- 29:19for us. So, you know what, we’re
- 29:22getting rid of it. This has 30 elements
- 29:25. Definitely, for a 5-year-old girl.
- 29:27Why do 30 elements not suit us? It
- 29:29doesn’t suit us for the same reason.
- 29:31Here is a brain teaser. Look, we’ve
- 29:34taken it again, this is what we have,
- 29:36um, for both hands, only after an
- 29:38electroencephalogram. Just in case,
- 29:41I'll say this, but I won't dwell on the
- 29:43topic. Honestly, I don't think it's
- 29:45necessary for parents to engage in such
- 29:47games. Usually, you should go for a
- 29:49consultation with a neuropsychologist.
- 29:51If a neuropsychologist recommends it to
- 29:53you, then you do it and try; there are
- 29:55these materials for using both hands,
- 29:57yes, but without a specialist's opinion
- 29:59, don't use these things. That is
- 30:00precisely why when I receive a workbook
- 30:02, for example, for children, I look
- 30:03very closely at the percentage of such
- 30:05tasks inside. If there are too many
- 30:07tasks, even if it's a good workbook, I
- 30:09won't advertise it. Honestly, let's
- 30:10just put this away. Okay, I don't see
- 30:13the child, you don't have a diagnosis
- 30:15right now, so apart from diagnosing the
- 30:17children's room,
- 30:19>> this just isn't our topic. Honestly,
- 30:22just don't. And if your child assembles
- 30:26puzzles and loves doing it, guys,
- 30:27please pay attention to the aesthetics.
- 30:30I like this one, for example, but the
- 30:32question of their size is also
- 30:34important.
- 30:38>> When I show you a puzzle, I always bet
- 30:41on that and show you exactly these sets
- 30:43. Guys, come on, no, just no, what is
- 30:47this? Definitely no. Look, we've
- 30:52cleared out a huge box for arts and
- 30:54crafts. We need this. This is a
- 30:56treasure. These are pencil cases. 80
- 30:59pieces, 5 plus. Yes, this one, yes, and
- 31:0380 pieces, by the way, the theme fits
- 31:06her, how should I put it, fits her
- 31:08interests. And here we have some small
- 31:11boxes. You know that these boxes
- 31:13usually cost pennies. But this stuff,
- 31:15what we're throwing away now, is worth
- 31:17about 5,000 rubles. Because these boxes
- 31:20, the ones we threw out, we've already
- 31:22basically calculated that 15,000 rubles
- 31:23could have been invested in some other
- 31:25things. I will speak in terms of money
- 31:28so that parents understand, because
- 31:30many people think this is New Year's
- 31:31theme, so I'll put it aside for New
- 31:33Year. Okay?
- 31:35>> Because for New Year we keep separate
- 31:37games, separate boxes, some workbooks
- 31:39that you didn't finish coloring for the
- 31:41New Year, you take them out at the end
- 31:42of November, in December, and the child
- 31:44sharpens their skills while getting
- 31:46emotionally ready for the New Year. But
- 31:48if it lies around in the summer and all
- 31:50year round, then at New Year, kids
- 31:51usually don't want to go back to the
- 31:52old" new "stuff. So, we've freed up a
- 31:55box. Well, this Cinderella one is also
- 31:58fine. There are good pieces here. Again
- 32:00, a useful item can cost pennies.
- 32:02Nothing special. I know this one. This
- 32:04is for this little thing here. Do you
- 32:08know where to put them? When you have
- 32:09things like drumsticks, put them in the
- 32:11box with the learning materials, right
- 32:13where the instructions are. That way
- 32:14they don't get lost. Because here they
- 32:16were lying in a box that wasn't here
- 32:18nor there. So, we don't need things
- 32:20like that. Yes. Okay, let's move on.
- 32:22Now look. Everything where the nanny's
- 32:24materials are. She has no right to get
- 32:26into it anywhere else.
- 32:27>> Uh-huh,
- 32:28>> got it. This is the child's space. Why
- 32:30didn't I end up here?
- 32:32>> Everything for the nanny, everything
- 32:34for you, everything done together,
- 32:35always gets put away up high. Let's go
- 32:37through the games. Storytelling from
- 32:39pictures. A very useful thing, but you
- 32:41have to work on it, yes. And if it's
- 32:43not Anya coming to you to work on the
- 32:45materials, honestly, I would work on
- 32:47this until school starts. And if she
- 32:50tells you that in a year, her
- 32:52vocabulary and memory capacity—
- 32:54because we lay out the pictures, you
- 32:56have to build a cohesive story. It goes
- 32:58in order of increasing difficulty. If
- 33:00she shows a really good result over
- 33:02this year, you can put it away. But
- 33:03honestly, I would make this a mandatory
- 33:05task for the nanny, because these
- 33:07things are very useful, they cost
- 33:09pennies, the benefits are immense, but
- 33:11few people do it. Look and remember
- 33:14once a week. Also for toddlers.
- 33:16>> Toddler stuff. Well, yes. I'm looking
- 33:18at that too. I'll tell you later what
- 33:20else to buy. Don't worry.
- 33:22>> So we'll just have this played
- 33:25periodically, yes, but I don't know if
- 33:28you play it or not. We use these for
- 33:30neuropsychological testing, among other
- 33:32things. Play this periodically too, but
- 33:35as soon as you realize she's orienting
- 33:37herself quickly,
- 33:39>> you put this toy away, just like the
- 33:41materials, and either wait for the next
- 33:43child or give it to someone. This one
- 33:45is mega-useful. These two games cost
- 33:48little and provide a lot of benefit. So
- 33:52, mandatory until school. Do you play
- 33:54with the balancing toy?
- 33:55>> Yes, she loves it.
- 33:56>> We'll keep it, because it also trains a
- 33:58lot of things before school. True or
- 33:59False: The Human Body. I love such
- 34:01games in general myself. Are they all
- 34:03yours here? Yes,
- 34:06>> that's wonderful. It's an Uno Frozen.
- 34:09Well, Uno stays with you for life, you
- 34:10know, she'll be taking it to camps
- 34:12until her teenage years. When you don't
- 34:14know what to do, take out Uno. Yes, a
- 34:17wonderful box. I really like it from
- 34:18the perspective of—I have the same
- 34:20organization myself. Actually, I even
- 34:21have the exact same box. And here again
- 34:24, there's some sort of, well, like a
- 34:25keychain, most likely an emotional
- 34:27souvenir, bought somewhere abroad. And
- 34:29look, I'm putting these puzzles away
- 34:31here. They fit perfectly right here.
- 34:33Here is a box appropriate for our age.
- 34:35And since it's clear the child plays
- 34:37with this with her parents, we'll put
- 34:40it closer here, yes, not in the corner.
- 34:43In the corner, we'll put the things she
- 34:46plays with by herself. I don't like it
- 34:49when games are packed in plastic bags,
- 34:50to be honest. Either we buy—I've
- 34:53shown you many different types of these
- 34:55puzzle envelopes. It's just that, let's
- 34:57say, I was heading to see older
- 34:59children today, so I don't have them
- 35:00with me. So, if anything, here are
- 35:02these kinds of containers. This way
- 35:03your game is well-packed and it's easy
- 35:05for the child to use. Everything is
- 35:07packed away immediately, and it's great
- 35:08. Here we have all the educational
- 35:10games. But, see, I've blocked the box
- 35:13that the child plays with. I've blocked
- 35:16it, it's accessible, but it's in the
- 35:18very corner. What the child plays with
- 35:20and what needs to be played with in the
- 35:22near future should be in sight. That's
- 35:24why we put it closer. So, this stuff of
- 35:27ours practically disappears. Look, this
- 35:29thing here cost about 340 rubles on
- 35:33Ozon. If you have it on your windowsill
- 35:36or you don't have enough space, and you
- 35:38need the child to have a system for
- 35:40drawings, manuals, workbooks, or
- 35:42something else—this is for when it's
- 35:44a total disaster. I'll leave this to
- 35:46the mom's discretion. Mom will tidy it
- 35:48up herself later. Look here, the child
- 35:50is proud of this, carries it everywhere
- 35:52, so it clearly holds more value for
- 35:54her than this. Let's put it in a
- 35:56prominent place. And this, for example,
- 36:00is the same as the LEGO. You've freed
- 36:02up a box, and all the LEGO that is like
- 36:04this goes in there. Make sure that your
- 36:065-year-old learns to color. This
- 36:09scribbling—when she does it, look,
- 36:11you should sit her down and teach her
- 36:13to color at least one small element,
- 36:15showing her an example. At 5 years old,
- 36:17she should already be paying attention.
- 36:19This is a volitional component. Every
- 36:20coloring book should actually work well
- 36:23. She likes these subjects because
- 36:25children usually scribble over them
- 36:26like this when they've outgrown them.
- 36:27Chukovsky at 5 years old. A water
- 36:29coloring book is, of course, absolutely
- 36:31amazing. Especially if I see this kind
- 36:34of mess. So, that's me. Oh, a sliding
- 36:36puzzle. My goodness. This...
- 36:39>> Never, ever throw this away for
- 36:41anything in the world. Let the child
- 36:44use it. Yes. Here we have the LEGO
- 36:46instructions. I see some LEGO lying
- 36:48nearby. Accordingly, this goes here.
- 36:51Okay, the box with the instructions.
- 36:53Here is its place. It's at a level
- 36:56where a child can reach it like this.
- 36:58Or if we look now, we can put it here
- 37:00instead. Like this. And everything is
- 37:02wonderful. And what is in this box?
- 37:05>> Valentin. Stuffed animals that she
- 37:07doesn't play with, but won't let me
- 37:08throw away. And I'm looking at them.
- 37:10>> Take them off the windowsill. Just take
- 37:11them off the windowsill today. She
- 37:13won't even remember them. Just move
- 37:15them, but then emphasize that they are
- 37:17going away somewhere and buy her one
- 37:19new toy. Alright. Instead of all these
- 37:21soft ones, well, we already talked
- 37:23about LEGO, right? I mean, guys, when
- 37:25you buy big sets, like buying this Star
- 37:27Wars starship or this airplane, you
- 37:29should think about the fact that this
- 37:31stuff will be sitting there for two
- 37:33years. Once, Sasha bought the Death
- 37:36Star. No, not the Death Star, that
- 37:38Falcon thing. It was just a
- 37:40gray-colored thing. It was about a
- 37:43meter and ten centimeters long. He got
- 37:45tired of it himself. He had to start
- 37:47dusting it with those little brushes.
- 37:49You can't put it in a container later,
- 37:52so thank God he realized he needed to
- 37:54get rid of it. And thank God he didn't
- 37:56have space for the Death Star. This
- 37:58year LEGO remade it, and it's huge,
- 38:00this Death Star, because, well, all
- 38:02this is great, but then you have to
- 38:04live with it.
- 38:06>> Uh-huh.
- 38:06>> Well, all these little things, she
- 38:08surely sorts through them. It's a good
- 38:10stress reliever. So I'm putting this in
- 38:12this box here, yes, she will see that
- 38:14everything is hers, and we'll put the
- 38:16same sliding puzzles in here too. Well,
- 38:18there's LEGO, I won't take that apart,
- 38:19but about the windowsill, you
- 38:20understand, right? How is she going to
- 38:22glue things for New Year's when it's
- 38:24already New Year's?
- 38:25>> Well, you'll peel it off, remember that
- 38:27. I haven't seen one like that, I
- 38:28wasn't sent one. It's Simand. I really
- 38:31liked the finger gymnastics here and
- 38:33the fact that we also have these tests
- 38:35by neuropsychologists, where a child
- 38:37comes in and many in elementary school
- 38:38can't do them. Good stuff, definitely
- 38:41remember this. You need to put
- 38:43everything into a separate storage area
- 38:44. Meaning, you put it away and forget
- 38:46about it. There it sits for you. It's
- 38:48good for the nanny, and good for you.
- 38:52There. You have no windowsill. Why
- 38:54would you need a windowsill? We have
- 38:55something for creativity here as well.
- 38:57>> Yes, there's a whole, well, just the
- 38:58day before yesterday they gave her a
- 38:59whole suitcase with paints and pencils.
- 39:01>> Well, when you have a whole suitcase,
- 39:04paints and pencils, yes, we put that
- 39:06where it’s supposed to be stored.
- 39:08Well, here, of course, your
- 39:10organization is very poor. I mean, how
- 39:11is she supposed to find anything in
- 39:13here? There’s already some assembled
- 39:15LEGO that she’s probably forgotten
- 39:17about. This, if you’ll excuse me, can
- 39:19be regifted. You really need to, you
- 39:21know, get in here. I won’t sort
- 39:22through it, I’ll just see what
- 39:24we’re clearing out of here. Ah, a
- 39:25Nutcracker. That’s for New Year's
- 39:26under the tree. So, we’ve started on
- 39:28the New Year’s theme. A set of dolls
- 39:29made from a sweater. Finger puppets.
- 39:31You won’t be using these, take them
- 39:33away. So, paints with paints, pencils
- 39:35with pencils. Buy organizers, sort them
- 39:38out. You have a lot of space here.
- 39:41These pencils are gorgeous, aren't they
- 39:42? They’re gorgeous, but I don’t
- 39:45recommend things I wouldn't use myself.
- 39:47But you remember the main rule, only
- 39:49what’s in my frame. Remember? Yes.
- 39:52I’m just saying, just in case. It
- 39:55applies to all teaching aids, only
- 39:56what’s in the frame, because this is
- 39:58mega cool. This thing here
- 40:01>> no, it has, it’s loud.
- 40:03>> I understand. That’s it, then put it
- 40:04away. Why? If it’s loud, it’s just
- 40:06sitting there. Again, we have New
- 40:08Year’s bows for the New Year. What do
- 40:11we have here? New Year. Beautiful
- 40:14snowflake butterflies. These go with
- 40:15the hair clips. She needs to have an
- 40:16organization system for her hair clips.
- 40:18Look, a child needs to draw, and you
- 40:19have the set just lying here.
- 40:20>> She doesn’t draw. And if
- 40:23>> does she draw with those thick
- 40:24children's ones?
- 40:25>> Also no.
- 40:26>> Also no? Well, let’s get rid of them
- 40:28then. They dry out, after all. But
- 40:30she’ll get used to this one. You have
- 40:31to get her used to it now, when doing
- 40:33letters. Blue, red. You are writing
- 40:35letters, after all. Let her do it there
- 40:37sometimes too. Since you have a decent
- 40:39theme, let’s remove this, and leave
- 40:40this one here. And as for the LEGO,
- 40:43we’ll take a small box now. We’ll
- 40:45move some craft supplies in here. But
- 40:47you really need to, how should I put it
- 40:49,
- 40:50>> get it together and, you know, just do
- 40:52it in the moment. Now I’m leaving.
- 40:56Take it.
- 40:57>> Oh, wow.
- 40:58>> I’ll show you many finds here. You
- 41:01know, when I come over, parents usually
- 41:03say:" Oh, I was looking for that. "I
- 41:04think this is part of some small barrel
- 41:06that you don't need. I place these
- 41:09toilet paper rolls in plain sight for
- 41:11the child, so she can develop her
- 41:12creativity when she sees them. So, all
- 41:15this kind of stuff shouldn't just be
- 41:16lying around. A child opens it, sees it
- 41:18, and that's it—the process has
- 41:20started. I'm taking it out now, look
- 41:22how. I can't just clear everything away
- 41:24at once here. And frankly, I don't
- 41:25really want to. Half of this needs to
- 41:27go. This is for the hostess, for
- 41:28creativity—it's just as it happens,
- 41:30right. But, for example, I see that the
- 41:32paints haven't been sorted here. So I
- 41:34went ahead and sorted just the paints
- 41:36and pencils. See, they're already lying
- 41:38in a separate box. There you go, that's
- 41:39your creativity. And in general, at 5
- 41:41years old, such things should be more
- 41:43visible to us. He sees that he has it.
- 41:45It acts as a trigger for his impulses,
- 41:48so to speak. As soon as you create the
- 41:50environment, for a child, it becomes
- 41:52the norm. If you hide the markers and
- 41:54pencils away, don't be surprised that
- 41:56the child doesn't like them. But if
- 41:57they are lying around everywhere
- 41:59appropriate for his age, then the child
- 42:01is drawn to them. And if you teach him
- 42:04how to use them, to color and draw,
- 42:06then that skill carries over, right?
- 42:09That is, if you don't show how to use
- 42:11it, the child won't use it. Well, this
- 42:13is all girly stuff, but there are so
- 42:15many drawings here that need to be
- 42:17thrown away or recycled and put away
- 42:20somewhere. Just do it without me. Just
- 42:23for me. Alright. But look, the game is
- 42:25at the very bottom under a pile of big
- 42:28junk. In theory, she might even play
- 42:29with it. I've been hoping for that for
- 42:32years now.
- 42:33>> Well, if it lies there under a pile of
- 42:34junk, and there are two more at the
- 42:35dacha. Is she playing with it—it's
- 42:37lying in plain sight. She's playing.
- 42:38Let's play.
- 42:40>> See, Mom wants to clean up herself now.
- 42:42We end up with games that are
- 42:43accessible. There's her free time.
- 42:45There's her shelf. It suits her height,
- 42:48at eye level. She doesn't need to reach
- 42:50anywhere. There are the games, she just
- 42:51looks up and sees everything. These are
- 42:53her main spots. And at the bottom is
- 42:55all this little stuff. And the craft is
- 42:57right in front of her eyes. Done.
- 42:59Hooray. This book still won't fit here
- 43:04now. But everything else will. Well, we
- 43:13handled the New Year stuff, didn't we?
- 43:15Do you know how many of these
- 43:17containers you need? They will fit
- 43:19perfectly into your drawer. Two
- 43:20containers, and here you'll just put
- 43:23things in boxes. So, two of these
- 43:25containers for each drawer. Or you need
- 43:27to get them a bit wider. And you'll
- 43:28have one type of junk here and another
- 43:30type of junk there. But creativity is
- 43:31always about junk. So, look, you have
- 43:34LEGO instructions here for sets she has
- 43:36already built. Make this a rule for
- 43:38yourself. As soon as your child gets
- 43:40into LEGO, all instructions go into one
- 43:42box immediately, because otherwise
- 43:44you’ll get overwhelmed, and your
- 43:45whole apartment will become a mess. I
- 43:48always had this collection, my boys
- 43:50always had an endless amount of LEGO.
- 43:52And from a very young age, they had a
- 43:54habit of keeping all the instructions
- 43:56in one place. And when they sold sets
- 43:58or traded them for something later,
- 43:59they always knew where they could find
- 44:01them. So, this whole organization story
- 44:03—she finishes playing, the
- 44:05instructions go here. Now, the same
- 44:07thing with the medals. Look, the room
- 44:09is beautiful, the room is lovely.
- 44:11Things like this should be hanging in a
- 44:13prominent place. This is about her.
- 44:16This is the age when she should be
- 44:17seeing this. It’s not about these
- 44:20magnets,
- 44:21>> this is what should be displayed. So,
- 44:22why not hang this, for example, right
- 44:25here, right? Right here. No. I mean, I
- 44:28walked in and I didn't even notice she
- 44:30had awards. But this is actually very
- 44:32significant for children, especially
- 44:34after the age of five. All parents,
- 44:35every room I visit, make the same
- 44:37mistake. Trophies way up near the
- 44:39ceiling, medals shoved somewhere down
- 44:41low. This is her achievement, this is
- 44:42her pride. She should—this is the
- 44:44first thing that should catch your eye
- 44:46when you walk into the room. Where did
- 44:48the New Year's pie go? That's for New
- 44:50Year's. That goes up on the top shelf.
- 44:54This is a theater for a specific fairy
- 44:56tale. It’s a shadow theater, Harry.
- 44:58This should be kept right here. This
- 45:00fits her age, and the nanny can use it
- 45:02for reading time. The fact that Little
- 45:04Red Riding Hood is in a full version is
- 45:06great, but it’s an infantile edition.
- 45:08We need to get the child to want to
- 45:09read, but this is clearly, you know,
- 45:11just for the very first stages of
- 45:12reading. She’ll finish reading these
- 45:15toddler books, and then you should
- 45:17immediately switch to, how should I put
- 45:19it, normal literature, in a standard
- 45:21edition. A photograph,
- 45:23>> yes, I’ve already understood. Well,
- 45:25when we have photos displayed like this
- 45:27, I recommend you either put them in a
- 45:28prominent place since you just arrived,
- 45:30or put them in an" emotions box, "you
- 45:32understand? Especially since I can see
- 45:35this is old history. Yes.
- 45:37>> You see, it’s sitting here, and well,
- 45:39why is it lying here? An emotions box
- 45:41or photos? A box for photographs.
- 45:43>> Aha.
- 45:44>> Can I set this aside? You decide for
- 45:46yourself what to do with it. Usually,
- 45:47in our house, everything gets taken
- 45:49down to the first floor, to the
- 45:50windowsill, and people pick out what
- 45:51they need themselves. When you don't
- 45:53know what to do with a toy, and you
- 45:55realize it's just clutter, but taking
- 45:56it somewhere to drop off is too much of
- 45:58a hassle, just take it downstairs and
- 46:00leave it there. They get picked up in
- 46:01seconds. You have no idea how much
- 46:04stuff gets collected. Etiquette.
- 46:06Wonderful, right? It's wonderful. I'll
- 46:09set it aside later to see what we have
- 46:11on medicine for little ones. I don't
- 46:13even know why she's like that. Why
- 46:14didn't Phoenix send me these? These are
- 46:18actually so interesting.
- 46:19>> These are interesting, right? I mean,
- 46:21they send me a ton of stuff. Valya is
- 46:22sorting through it. But they didn't
- 46:24send me the good ones. Moomins. Have
- 46:27you read them already?
- 46:28>> No. Well,
- 46:29>> read them while you can.
- 46:31>> That's good, because Moomins are for up
- 46:33to six years old; after five, we need
- 46:35exposure to a different kind of
- 46:36language.
- 46:37>> Uh-huh. I mean, specifically from the
- 46:39perspective of information processing,
- 46:41if you want to invest your reading time
- 46:43wisely, this book is strictly for
- 46:45before age six. Try to finish it before
- 46:48the school year starts. I'm serious.
- 46:51That doesn't mean the book is bad or
- 46:52anything. It just means that we are
- 46:54investing our time differently now. A
- 46:57different age requires a different
- 46:58investment. The" House of Turning "(The
- 46:59House of the World). This is what she
- 47:01needs to read right now, if you haven't
- 47:02read it yet.
- 47:03>> If you've read it, then put it away.
- 47:05>> There's no need to go back to it.
- 47:06That's all my questions regarding
- 47:07>> I would rather read this one right now
- 47:10than keep reading the Moomins. I want
- 47:12to be honest with you, honestly.
- 47:14>> Well,
- 47:15>> well, never mind, without me. But I
- 47:17would switch over to this story right
- 47:19now. Winnie the Pooh. Well, you don't.
- 47:24>> Robinson Crusoe. Well, I understand,
- 47:26it's an old story. Not right now, it's
- 47:28for
- 47:30>> well, you definitely won't be reading
- 47:31this in the next two years. Although,
- 47:33if I were to develop my reading,
- 47:34Robinson Crusoe. Sasha read it during
- 47:36elementary school, but that doesn't
- 47:38mean everyone is like that; well,
- 47:39Krylov's fables, that's clear, and
- 47:41she'll be covering that in school
- 47:43anyway. That is a wonderful story
- 47:44overall. All of this is useful. Read"
- 47:47Wind in the Willows "as well. Musical
- 47:49instruments. The Big Book of Water
- 47:51belongs with the encyclopedias. Try to
- 47:53separate them, you know, divide them
- 47:55into encyclopedias and fiction. Yes,
- 47:57have you read Mowgli yet? No,
- 47:59>> didn't land well, maybe too early. Well
- 48:01, that means you should read the" House
- 48:03of the World "right now, and then
- 48:05gradually switch to Mowgli. And if it's
- 48:07too difficult, you can read it
- 48:09alongside another book that's a bit
- 48:10easier. For example, you read a little
- 48:13bit of that, and a bit more from the
- 48:15main book, right? Just to keep the
- 48:17brain trained. We always have three
- 48:19books going at once.
- 48:20>> So, for example, you can definitely
- 48:21give her The Jungle Book right now. All
- 48:23parents should have a shelf or a
- 48:25cupboard called" gifts. "When you've
- 48:27been given something you know isn't
- 48:29right for your child, just re-gift it;
- 48:31if it's a good book or edition, don't
- 48:33let it gather dust, give it to someone
- 48:34else. But guys, it's impossible to read
- 48:36all the literature out there. You know
- 48:37what I mean? I'm still, how should I
- 48:39put it? Reading certain books,
- 48:42there’s an endless amount of reading
- 48:45to be done. This here is what she can
- 48:47read, you know, independently, on her
- 48:49own. So, add the Tale of the Priest and
- 48:51of His Workman Balda, and The Tale of
- 48:52the Dead Princess here. This is truly,
- 48:54yes, her whole collection, including
- 48:56The Steadfast Tin Soldier. Well, in
- 48:58short, all the books here, I like this
- 49:00selection. The books are read, you can
- 49:02keep them, but you should have the next
- 49:05shelf of literature in her sight that
- 49:07she is about to read, which will lure
- 49:09her with pictures, titles, and stories
- 49:12—just put them out. And then there
- 49:14are no questions about it, because it
- 49:15fits her age. But since you've read
- 49:17these, there must be something there
- 49:19that you will read
- 49:20>> ahead of time. You can just hand out a
- 49:22wish list to all your friends. Take a
- 49:24series of encyclopedias—I had videos
- 49:26where a series was already selected—
- 49:28so you don't have to think, and give
- 49:30one book to each person. That's it, and
- 49:32you have something new, it's an
- 49:33investment, it's useful, and everything
- 49:35is great, because this, all of this
- 49:37>> is for independent reading, right?
- 49:39>> But how much can you have for
- 49:40independent reading? She’ll never
- 49:42read all that in her life.
- 49:44>> Sort through the independent reading
- 49:45list with the person who knows her, who
- 49:47works with her, who is teaching her to
- 49:49read. You have a tutor coming over, or
- 49:50a nanny, or someone, right?
- 49:52>> It’s their job to sort through it.
- 49:53You don't need to keep all of this.
- 49:55It’s too much, way too much for
- 49:57independent reading. As soon as she
- 49:59masters the technique of reading by
- 50:00syllables—meaning, you know, she
- 50:02reads slowly syllable by syllable—she
- 50:03moves on to literature that actually
- 50:05interests her. And that’s when you
- 50:07have, pardon me, a selection here,
- 50:08including Harry Potter,
- 50:10>> which she is already reading the first
- 50:11part of, and these books she reads on
- 50:13her own, just a little bit at a time,
- 50:15paragraph by paragraph. This doesn't
- 50:17mean we start with something difficult.
- 50:18We start with something easy, but it
- 50:20has to pass quickly, quickly, quickly,
- 50:22quickly
- 50:22>> otherwise. What kind of interest in
- 50:23reading would there be? I'm reading
- 50:25nonsense that I read when I was three.
- 50:27What's the interest in that?
- 50:28>> Uh-huh.
- 50:29>> In the beginning, it needs to be easy
- 50:31so that reading comprehension forms
- 50:32faster. But as soon as her reading
- 50:34technique is established, as soon as
- 50:36she gets the hang of reading by
- 50:38syllables, we move on to literature
- 50:40that interests her, meaning her
- 50:42favorite book. But she reads just a
- 50:44little bit: three lines, five lines,
- 50:46six lines, a paragraph. But she reads
- 50:48what interests her, otherwise children
- 50:50stop reading later on. So, sort this
- 50:52out, keep a few books, I agree, but not
- 50:54in this volume. There’s an
- 50:56encyclopedia here, I see an
- 50:57encyclopedia, for example, yes. Let's
- 50:59take a look inside. They are more for
- 51:01little ones. Actually no, the
- 51:03information inside is fine. In short,
- 51:05everything you have is great. See, we
- 51:07even cleared out the books in just a
- 51:09few seconds, yes, and then you'll be
- 51:10able to handle this yourself. I can put
- 51:12this here like this, so you know that
- 51:14this goes here. In principle,
- 51:17>> we have it empty here.
- 51:18>> And you have two empty drawers there.
- 51:22Just organize, well, containers, clear
- 51:24everything off the windowsill, and then
- 51:26really think about a larger desk so
- 51:28that for her, since she studies like
- 51:30this, at least a meter twenty. At least
- 51:33a meter twenty. And regarding depth,
- 51:37look, if she has everything set up like
- 51:38this, for example, one shelf is
- 51:40stationary, yes, standing by the desk,
- 51:42and the other one has the lift
- 51:43mechanism so that her eyes, this tilt
- 51:45level. But with all that, if there are
- 51:48pencils on the desk, there is no need
- 51:49to constantly put them away like you
- 51:51are doing.
- 51:52>> And accordingly, it’s great here from
- 51:54a storage point of view. And later your
- 51:55husband will take the airplane here,
- 51:57and I will write you a list of toys,
- 51:59please, everything you have is
- 52:00wonderful. And don't forget to remove
- 52:01the stuffed animals from the windowsill
- 52:03. And remove the stickers, agreed.
- 52:05That's it. quiet
