  1. 0:16All right, everyone, hello. Today we
  2. 0:18are in simply a delightful apartment.
  3. 0:22It’s so clear that it’s not just,
  4. 0:24you know, a designer renovation; it’s
  5. 0:26truly stylish. And today we’re going
  6. 0:30to be sorting through a nursery for a
  7. 0:32girl who has just turned 5 years old.
  8. 0:35And, accordingly, we will look at her
  9. 0:37toys, let's say, her books, the storage
  10. 0:39organization, what’s sufficient, and
  11. 0:41what’s lacking. But honestly, when I
  12. 0:44walked in, the room was immediately
  13. 0:46very inviting. And the layout, in
  14. 0:50principle, if we look at the bookcases,
  15. 0:52yes, and the shelving here for
  16. 0:54creativity and play, it’s everything
  17. 0:56we love for five-year-old kids. And
  18. 0:59here, regarding this issue, everything
  19. 1:00is wonderful. So, we will simply deal
  20. 1:02with clearing out toys, see what is
  21. 1:04age-appropriate, what to aim for, and
  22. 1:06discuss what the child plays with and
  23. 1:08what she doesn't. There is a specific
  24. 1:10feature here. I don’t see the girl.
  25. 1:12That is, I cannot discuss things with
  26. 1:14her or see her reactions to this or
  27. 1:15that game. Therefore, I will blindly
  28. 1:17trust only her mom here. So we will
  29. 1:20discuss a little bit about the
  30. 1:22child’s character, what she’s
  31. 1:24involved in, what she has, let’s say,
  32. 1:27already outgrown, what she still plays
  33. 1:29with, and we’ll break down her
  34. 1:32creative interests. I want to note
  35. 1:34right away that the wall bars are
  36. 1:36beautifully done. From the perspective
  37. 1:38of the room, it’s probably about 11
  38. 1:40to 13 meters, plus the built-in closet.
  39. 1:42When you set up wall bars like this,
  40. 1:45with this kind of space, it’s just
  41. 1:48wonderful. And then, when parents think
  42. 1:51it’s time to unscrew it, you know,
  43. 1:53friends will still be coming over until
  44. 1:55the end of second grade, and the prime
  45. 1:57period is about to start, and they will
  46. 1:59start swinging on these. They will be
  47. 2:01using these hammocks. It seems to me,
  48. 2:03even in a small room. I haven’t had a
  49. 2:06single client—or at least in my
  50. 2:08circle, when I visit their homes—
  51. 2:10where no one was swinging on this
  52. 2:12hammock. It is genuinely in high demand
  53. 2:16, but closer to second or third grade,
  54. 2:18depending on the child’s temperament,
  55. 2:20it is naturally, let’s say, gradually
  56. 2:22removed. And usually, they keep the
  57. 2:25pull-up bar, or they keep it depending
  58. 2:28on whether the girl does dancing; they
  59. 2:30might leave crossbars like this, for
  60. 2:32example, while removing the rest and
  61. 2:34hanging a large mirror. A large mirror
  62. 2:37should appear here roughly—let me
  63. 2:39think—around second grade. The end of
  64. 2:42second grade, the beginning of third,
  65. 2:43100%. You remove part of the section
  66. 2:45and put a large mirror on the wall. Why
  67. 2:47do they start dancing? And in this way,
  68. 2:49they work through the fear of ugliness.
  69. 2:51The thing that starts in our
  70. 2:53adolescence. Prevention is dancing for
  71. 2:55both boys and girls. But we hang the
  72. 2:57mirror specifically for girls, because,
  73. 2:59well, for boys, let them hone their
  74. 3:01movements in other ways, like in sports
  75. 3:03. And so, here specifically in this
  76. 3:05room, I can clearly see that a mirror
  77. 3:07goes here, and two desks go here later,
  78. 3:09that is, how we plan for a desk and a
  79. 3:11non-desk. Regarding this table, in
  80. 3:14principle, it is perfectly sized for
  81. 3:17children under 7 years old. Well, if we
  82. 3:20are talking about dimensions and the
  83. 3:22chair, if you suddenly want to change
  84. 3:23it, you should just get a proper desk
  85. 3:25right away. That is, you don't need to
  86. 3:27come up with any other tables. This
  87. 3:28setup is more than enough until the
  88. 3:30first grade. So, if you are satisfied
  89. 3:32with it, and it fits well size-wise,
  90. 3:33then okay. If you are not satisfied,
  91. 3:35you immediately choose a proper school
  92. 3:36desk. The kind that grows with them,
  93. 3:38with all these tilting features and
  94. 3:40surfaces. I can see right away that you
  95. 3:42need to train the child to tidy up
  96. 3:44immediately. This applies to window
  97. 3:46sills. Here on the window sills, there
  98. 3:47are a great many different things. May
  99. 3:50I do this? I assure you, in adolescence
  100. 3:52, if you don't teach them right away,
  101. 3:54the window sill will become the zone
  102. 3:56where their whole childhood accumulates
  103. 3:58. Anything that isn't sorted out
  104. 3:59immediately becomes a bad habit. What
  105. 4:02is order, anyway? It is the ability to
  106. 4:05self-organize, to set priorities, and
  107. 4:08to discard non-priority tasks in the
  108. 4:11future. That is, when a person mixes
  109. 4:14everything together, we have an age
  110. 4:15when that is allowed—at 5 years old,
  111. 4:17in fact, up to 7 years old, a child can
  112. 4:19allow themselves anything they want.
  113. 4:21But even though they can allow
  114. 4:22themselves anything, we set priorities
  115. 4:25for order. Meaning, what is okay and
  116. 4:26what is not, periodically cleaning
  117. 4:28things out. If you don't teach them
  118. 4:30from the start to keep certain places
  119. 4:32clean, believe me, window sills are
  120. 4:34precisely the place they won't clean,
  121. 4:36where they dump their emotional clutter
  122. 4:38, and fail to try to reach a new level
  123. 4:40of growth. And most importantly, you
  124. 4:43really won't be able to handle it, you
  125. 4:45know, every time you could just walk up
  126. 4:46and throw everything into the trash.
  127. 4:48Therefore, just teach them, for example
  128. 4:50, if she collects LEGO, it's clear
  129. 4:52there will never be enough space for it
  130. 4:54. Buy some transparent containers for
  131. 4:56the LEGO. And then you just put these
  132. 4:58sets in them; you know, they're like
  133. 5:00shoeboxes. They are made of a type of
  134. 5:02plastic, you know, not like glass,
  135. 5:04strictly speaking, and they don't get
  136. 5:06dusty in there. You stack them on top
  137. 5:08of each other, and you get a LEGO
  138. 5:10section. It's just great. But this
  139. 5:12stuff here, it needs to be cleared out.
  140. 5:14And if you don't have enough storage
  141. 5:16space, since you have a dresser right
  142. 5:18here, you just put them here. They cost
  143. 5:21—I recently bought some for one of my
  144. 5:23clients—1,200 rubles. They are like
  145. 5:25little cabinets with drawers. It’s a
  146. 5:27stand, you know, on plastic legs with
  147. 5:29pull-out drawers. And all her junk goes
  148. 5:31in there, because looking at the art
  149. 5:33supplies, I can see this won't be
  150. 5:35enough. So, I don't know what you have
  151. 5:37stored here,
  152. 5:38>> it's art supplies. Well, everything is
  153. 5:39art supplies, but generally speaking.
  154. 5:42So, there are art supplies here, and
  155. 5:44art supplies in those drawers, and if
  156. 5:45we're talking about not having enough
  157. 5:47room for LEGO, you can find them on
  158. 5:49Ozon. Like for Alena, a girl who just
  159. 5:52turned 8. She ordered a cabinet for
  160. 5:55just 8,000 rubles. At the bottom,
  161. 5:57it’s the same width, exactly the same
  162. 5:58. At the bottom there are these drawers
  163. 6:00, and shelves on top. But behind glass,
  164. 6:03because if you have LEGO, believe me,
  165. 6:05it's better to use a display case so it
  166. 6:06doesn't get dusty. I know how
  167. 6:09collecting goes, and they end up being
  168. 6:11lower down. So, the child sees the
  169. 6:13bottom shelf at eye level, and then
  170. 6:15there's this exhibit, which she can't
  171. 6:16really see anyway because it's placed
  172. 6:18there, but it's meaningful. You get rid
  173. 6:20of that dust, and then you don't even
  174. 6:22need to buy those, you know, sometimes
  175. 6:24storage systems, all those organizers,
  176. 6:27cost more than buying a proper cabinet
  177. 6:29for the room. I'm serious. I have
  178. 6:32already, well, I’ve calculated it.
  179. 6:35And so, if you put it here—especially
  180. 6:37since your wall color is very nice—
  181. 6:38that kind of budget furniture is
  182. 6:40everywhere, and it assembles in seconds
  183. 6:42. You put this cabinet right in this
  184. 6:44spot, and half of your storage needs
  185. 6:46are solved, and the windowsill is
  186. 6:48cleared. So, let's start with the
  187. 6:50mistake. Now let's turn our attention
  188. 6:52to this cabinet. It's very well
  189. 6:54organized for a child, yes. But here we
  190. 6:56have an emotional craft from New Year's
  191. 6:58, and New Year's was a long time ago,
  192. 6:59right? Up there, a 5-year-old child,
  193. 7:04from their height, cannot see that
  194. 7:06shelf. So it turns out it’s just
  195. 7:09clutter for you, and for the child,
  196. 7:10it’s meaningless. If something is
  197. 7:12emotionally valuable to you, you put it
  198. 7:14in an emotional box that you keep up
  199. 7:16there on the mezzanine somewhere. Then
  200. 7:18you sort through it, take photos, make
  201. 7:20a book, whatever you like. And if a
  202. 7:22child remembers it, for example, a year
  203. 7:24later, they go through it and see that
  204. 7:25it’s been saved. Children have one
  205. 7:27particular trait. It’s not important
  206. 7:28to them, you know, that it sits there
  207. 7:30for years. What matters to them is the
  208. 7:32simple fact that it was kept. And when
  209. 7:33they see that it has been saved, when
  210. 7:35we talk about things they put their
  211. 7:36effort into. But crafts can be
  212. 7:38different. Honestly, I don’t really
  213. 7:40see much value in this specific story.
  214. 7:42The fact that she just took and glued
  215. 7:44on some beads or rhinestones, she's
  216. 7:46done that many times. Another point is
  217. 7:48who she did it with; if she did it at
  218. 7:50some event, or with grandma. If not,
  219. 7:53then you know, this is a story where,
  220. 7:55when you have a lot of these crafts
  221. 7:56lying around, when we sort through a
  222. 7:58closet, for example, the child sees it
  223. 8:00and we say: "Choose what is valuable to
  224. 8:02you." And then they throw away the
  225. 8:04things that weren't really special
  226. 8:06themselves. So, you know, how would I
  227. 8:08do it? I think I’ll get involved
  228. 8:10after all. We’ll at least pull out
  229. 8:12everything from the top shelves, and
  230. 8:14when she arrives,
  231. 8:15>> Uh-huh.
  232. 8:15>> you and she can sort through this chaos
  233. 8:17and put it into large bags without me,
  234. 8:18and then you can message me later to
  235. 8:20say what percentage it was. And
  236. 8:22regardless, children need to be taught,
  237. 8:24even if there are some tears, to get
  238. 8:27rid of things. Knowing how to part with
  239. 8:30things is also a skill that needs to be
  240. 8:32taught, especially when you can afford
  241. 8:35certain, well, moments. Because
  242. 8:38there’s a very common mistake in
  243. 8:39business, you know: a person invests in
  244. 8:41a project, believes in it, puts money
  245. 8:43and time into it, the project doesn't
  246. 8:45take off, but they feel bad about the
  247. 8:47investments they made. And so they end
  248. 8:50up losing even more, right? This moment
  249. 8:52, when you teach children in childhood
  250. 8:54to get rid of the unnecessary, is about
  251. 8:55making quick decisions when we realize
  252. 8:57that our investments haven't paid off.
  253. 8:59Note that these investments don't just
  254. 9:01apply to material things, right? You
  255. 9:04lose weight, you gain weight, or you
  256. 9:06need to clean out the closet, things
  257. 9:08are out of fashion; for instance, why
  258. 9:10don't we all wear the earrings from our
  259. 9:12Soviet childhood that we all had?
  260. 9:14Because that’s not how people wear
  261. 9:15them now. And you need to be able to,
  262. 9:17uh, get rid of this or process it
  263. 9:19somehow, right? It's the same thing.
  264. 9:21Let's put it this way. Friends, a
  265. 9:22friendship that has run its course,
  266. 9:23relationships, when a marriage, excuse
  267. 9:25me, or you're living in a first
  268. 9:27relationship, you realize it’s not
  269. 9:28for you, well, I’ve invested so much,
  270. 9:30or something else. So, in reality, when
  271. 9:32we talk about order in a room, we’re
  272. 9:34implying a huge spectrum of different
  273. 9:36relationships. Therefore, you have to
  274. 9:38learn, yes, it’s painful. It’s
  275. 9:40always painful, unpleasant. Okay, this,
  276. 9:42I understand, has something to do with
  277. 9:43creativity. Everything related to
  278. 9:45creativity should always be accessible.
  279. 9:47If we are talking about a creative
  280. 9:49child, it cannot be up on the ceiling.
  281. 9:51Or perhaps it's something you’re
  282. 9:52saving up for something, right? But in
  283. 9:55fact, what do I usually put up on the
  284. 9:56ceiling? On the top shelf, I put away
  285. 9:59games for when they're older. That is,
  286. 10:01when we play only with a parent, she
  287. 10:02can’t play alone yet, so it’s not
  288. 10:04important for her to reach it herself.
  289. 10:06The second point is books for when
  290. 10:07she's older. Did you remember what the
  291. 10:09top shelves are for? It’s the same
  292. 10:10thing here. Games for when she's older,
  293. 10:12books for when she's older, everything
  294. 10:14that is here, everything she has
  295. 10:16permission to take for creativity, she
  296. 10:17gets it. If you have creative supplies
  297. 10:19for the future, then put them in a
  298. 10:21separate container so there is no
  299. 10:23visual clutter for her. That is, she
  300. 10:25already understands, and you know, that
  301. 10:27this box contains your treasure that
  302. 10:28will be for her later. So I don’t
  303. 10:30know where you are going to put it.
  304. 10:32>> Well, somewhere lower.
  305. 10:33>> Lower, yes. So, again, a 5-year-old
  306. 10:36child won’t be able to reach this
  307. 10:37here. But she draws a lot right now,
  308. 10:39it’s obvious. That means this should
  309. 10:42go down for us. So, alright. Again, if
  310. 10:44we’re talking about cars, if they are
  311. 10:46played with,
  312. 10:47>> then they should be down below. So,
  313. 10:49here we have a good story. This chest
  314. 10:52of tales knowledge, it develops memory
  315. 10:54very well. I remember such stories,
  316. 10:57they are very rare to find and play
  317. 10:59with now, and she has only just turned
  318. 11:015. You still have potential in this
  319. 11:04game somewhere. I think that, looking
  320. 11:06at your games, if you are more or less
  321. 11:09engaged, if you, mm, play it once or
  322. 11:12twice a week, just a little bit, then
  323. 11:15this game will last you half a year.
  324. 11:18Then it disappears for you. And,
  325. 11:20accordingly, if you don't play with it,
  326. 11:22then it also disappears, because, well,
  327. 11:24what's the point, right? There. And,
  328. 11:26accordingly, we know that the child
  329. 11:28doesn't read yet. Accordingly, she can
  330. 11:30play this game only with her mom.
  331. 11:32Therefore, such a game is safely put on
  332. 11:35a higher shelf.
  333. 11:36>> We won't put it down below because it
  334. 11:37is this way. I can open it.
  335. 11:39>> Yes.
  336. 11:41>> Here again, we have these wonderful
  337. 11:42toys, whether she plays or doesn't play
  338. 11:44,
  339. 11:45>> of course, since she doesn't see them.
  340. 11:47>> Well, she doesn't play because she
  341. 11:48doesn't see them. If we say: "Clean
  342. 11:50this up." Naturally, she will need it.
  343. 11:53>> But in fact, you can just put this box
  344. 11:54here, she won't even open it, and say:
  345. 11:56"Remember, we give this system to
  346. 11:58children who have nothing,
  347. 12:00>> and we'll buy you one normal new toy"
  348. 12:02that you will want. Believe me, in this
  349. 12:04format, this junk is gotten rid of
  350. 12:06quickly. But when I come to children
  351. 12:09who at least know me, with whom I've
  352. 12:10had tea sometimes, I make them put all
  353. 12:12this away themselves right in front of
  354. 12:14me. Not with any persuasion, but just,
  355. 12:17yes, you will get a toy, but they say:
  356. 12:19"Oh, I need this horse. Oh, I need this
  357. 12:23one here, look, it's a treasure chest
  358. 12:25of junk." There. And it's clear that
  359. 12:27this has already been played out. Again
  360. 12:29, this collection of our wonderful
  361. 12:31Kinder Surprise toys. Well, some things
  362. 12:34, in short, if they are really needed,
  363. 12:36go into a memory box for a year, yes,
  364. 12:37because the volume is small. And, in
  365. 12:40principle, it's here, well, she clearly
  366. 12:41doesn't play with this.
  367. 12:43>> But in fact, you can, actually, easily,
  368. 12:46well, you can make it so the child
  369. 12:48stays. So, here we have an expensive
  370. 12:51doctor's kit, of course. I can already
  371. 12:53see by the quality. She plays.
  372. 12:55>> No, she was given a doctor
  373. 12:57>> board games. Yes, there
  374. 13:00>> they are, you know, even when you don't
  375. 13:02have time, she is 5 years old, you can
  376. 13:04find many games, you know, for when
  377. 13:06you're lazy, when you don't strain
  378. 13:08yourself, but the child figures
  379. 13:09something out there. This here is a
  380. 13:12waste of time. I can see by you that
  381. 13:14this is not your case. You don't need
  382. 13:15this. Therefore, you know, honestly,
  383. 13:18looking at this, you can do this
  384. 13:19without her. And leave a few things for
  385. 13:22her to choose from, to train her,
  386. 13:24because the volume can be intimidating.
  387. 13:26You definitely don't need this. The age
  388. 13:27is not right anymore.
  389. 13:28>> Oh, excellent.
  390. 13:31>> This is Dad's thing, right?
  391. 13:34>> This is from her older sister.
  392. 13:35>> From her older sister. Usually, such
  393. 13:39things, if you don't have a son, girls
  394. 13:41assemble once every six months with
  395. 13:43their dad, and then they safely leave
  396. 13:45it in their memory for life as an
  397. 13:47emotional recollection. But to say that
  398. 13:50we should dedicate an entire space on
  399. 13:52an open shelf to this, honestly, well,
  400. 13:55you already get it, right? I think
  401. 13:57there is some top shelf in a closet
  402. 13:59somewhere, right, where we can put it,
  403. 14:01and put it on dad's, you know where? On
  404. 14:03the schedule. You should have a
  405. 14:04schedule. And some holidays or breaks
  406. 14:07start. And you say: "Honey, I'm going
  407. 14:09shopping with the girls, with my
  408. 14:11friends. You take it out, put it down,
  409. 14:13and say:" Take a picture of the
  410. 14:14finished model for me. "You assemble it
  411. 14:16together, put it away, and that's it.
  412. 14:18And then you donate it to an orphanage
  413. 14:19for the New Year. Wonderful. But boys,
  414. 14:21of course, do assemble these things.
  415. 14:23There's nothing even to say there.
  416. 14:24Therefore, you see, a shelf is already
  417. 14:26clearing up over there. Everything is
  418. 14:28great. I want to tell you honestly, for
  419. 14:303-year-olds, I don't like it when they
  420. 14:31assemble these kinds of things. I see
  421. 14:33that this is new, unopened. Yes.
  422. 14:35>> And you know what? When going to visit
  423. 14:37someone, give it as a gift.
  424. 14:38>> Uh-huh.
  425. 14:39>> I—Well, we are taking this out of
  426. 14:41sight. I'll explain. It's just that
  427. 14:43it's not about this Creator set, like,
  428. 14:45yes, it's understandable, a puppy, a
  429. 14:46squirrel, and so on, but simply, seeing
  430. 14:48the child's room, I understand that her
  431. 14:50potential is already a bit...
  432. 14:53>> Uh-huh. higher. Let her assemble a pink
  433. 14:55LEGO Porsche, you understand? It's good
  434. 14:58for motor skills, and girls like it.
  435. 15:00And you can also buy lighting for it,
  436. 15:02>> and it will shine, you know, in the
  437. 15:04night, like a nightlight. It will be a
  438. 15:05very beautiful LEGO set that will
  439. 15:07become a design object. Plus, you have
  440. 15:09accents, so it will become for you not
  441. 15:11just a toy, but a design element. And
  442. 15:14in this way, you are shaping the
  443. 15:15child's taste.
  444. 15:16>> So,
  445. 15:17>> this is what I'm hiding to throw away.
  446. 15:20Oh, so this is what—Can we just—No,
  447. 15:23wait, this is creativity. This is very
  448. 15:26old.
  449. 15:26>> This is creativity. So, let's do it
  450. 15:29right away. Can we, can we just get
  451. 15:31some trash bags? Let's—because this
  452. 15:34is an origami craft kit, we need this.
  453. 15:36These are crafts for kindergarten,
  454. 15:39school, and so on. An adorable room. I
  455. 15:42really like it. Honestly, I am very
  456. 15:45pleasantly impressed. And I am very
  457. 15:47comfortable. Honestly, I didn't expect
  458. 15:50that either, we have creativity here, a
  459. 15:52magnetic game of skill. Guys, I want to
  460. 15:55be honest with you, people really love
  461. 15:57to give these kinds of things when they
  462. 15:59don't know what to give. I've said many
  463. 16:01times that this is a one-time thing,
  464. 16:03which is better to take to a summer
  465. 16:05house or give to those who have a big
  466. 16:07house where it can be put. But you
  467. 16:09don't take it out. It is
  468. 16:11>> very rare. Honestly, regift 10 items at
  469. 16:17a time.
  470. 16:18>> And the same thing. Here we are again
  471. 16:19trying to hit it with our hand, right?
  472. 16:21No, play checkers.
  473. 16:23>> Uh-huh.
  474. 16:24>> This can go here too. Well, all the
  475. 16:26more reason. So why should we waste
  476. 16:28time on this?
  477. 16:29>> Okay, let's move on to the ceiling.
  478. 16:31Here we have LEGO. This is, well, I
  479. 16:33don't know, more interesting. Well, or
  480. 16:35see for yourselves. It seems to me, if
  481. 16:37this is her theme, you definitely don't
  482. 16:39play this anymore.
  483. 16:40>> Uh-huh. This is what we play from three
  484. 16:42to five. This is a cool story, but
  485. 16:44>> it's for growing into.
  486. 16:45>> It's not for growing into, it's to play
  487. 16:48now.
  488. 16:49>> But she gets scared. Well, that's
  489. 16:50exactly why she needs to get over the
  490. 16:51fear through play.
  491. 16:52>> Oh, yeah,
  492. 16:53>> she will work through the fear this way
  493. 16:54. She's sitting with you, the parents,
  494. 16:56it's safe, everything is great. Just
  495. 16:58these sudden things, it pops up there,
  496. 17:00right?
  497. 17:00>> These sudden things. Well, let her work
  498. 17:02through it through play. On the
  499. 17:04contrary, it needs to be played out now
  500. 17:05. If your child is afraid of something
  501. 17:07in a game, it's better for them to
  502. 17:08experience these fears with you, you
  503. 17:10know. What are horror movies for? To
  504. 17:13train the nervous system for teenagers.
  505. 17:17You learn through a safe experience,
  506. 17:19and your body's reactions don't
  507. 17:21overwhelm you later when you actually
  508. 17:23encounter something, well, here it's
  509. 17:26about suddenness, right, that someone
  510. 17:28suddenly started drilling and that's it
  511. 17:30. We'll make everything look nice here
  512. 17:35now. Honestly, if we are talking about
  513. 17:39LEGO, I would choose some girlie themes
  514. 17:41, you know the ones I like more for
  515. 17:43girls. And I would recommend, look, if
  516. 17:46your girl really loves nature, is
  517. 17:49obsessed with animals and so on, that's
  518. 17:51one thing. But if she builds LEGO, but
  519. 17:55isn't obsessed with it, age 5 plus, I
  520. 17:57would still collect those sets where,
  521. 17:59even if no one is playing with the LEGO
  522. 18:02, she at least, by building these
  523. 18:04castles, these, let's say, LEGO has
  524. 18:06these whole cities, right, girlie ones,
  525. 18:09where there's a cafe, a hair salon, a
  526. 18:11beauty salon, a car, a vet clinic—
  527. 18:13while the child is building, they are
  528. 18:16already fantasizing about how they are
  529. 18:18playing with it. And this spark of
  530. 18:22imagination gives us a much better
  531. 18:24return on the same investment than
  532. 18:26assembling these 5+ sets. They can be
  533. 18:29beautiful, cool, and look great in an
  534. 18:31interior. That’s one thing, but when
  535. 18:33you accumulate a lot of them, see,
  536. 18:35it’s not just one, you realize, well,
  537. 18:37it has value, but if you can assemble
  538. 18:38something that brings more benefit to
  539. 18:40creativity, I’m all for making your
  540. 18:42money work more effectively, so to
  541. 18:44speak. Honestly, I would pass this on
  542. 18:46to someone.
  543. 18:47>> Uh-huh.
  544. 18:47>> And I would buy something that...you
  545. 18:49get it, right? Yes,
  546. 18:50>> a meaningful plot. They don't play with
  547. 18:52this. It's like boys with a police
  548. 18:54station. They pretend they're going to
  549. 18:56play with a LEGO police station. No,
  550. 18:57they won't play with it. It will keep
  551. 18:59breaking, and they'll lose interest.
  552. 19:01How they actually start playing. But
  553. 19:03while he’s rebuilding it, he’s
  554. 19:04already played through the stories in
  555. 19:06his head of how he would play with that
  556. 19:07police station. I can't take" Assemble
  557. 19:09the Pattern "away from you right now,
  558. 19:11because if we’re talking about games
  559. 19:13that really make you think, these are
  560. 19:15the ones neuropsychologists recommend,
  561. 19:17even up to teenage years. tasks. So
  562. 19:20here you have a booklet, and you start
  563. 19:22with simple tasks, with four cubes, but
  564. 19:24not by shape anymore. There are
  565. 19:26elements there, right, you have to
  566. 19:27assemble it, there’s a little sample
  567. 19:29for you, and you have to assemble it,
  568. 19:30please, right? And then without
  569. 19:33dividers. Therefore, if at some point
  570. 19:36you really want her to put her brain to
  571. 19:37work, you have one wonderful box, and
  572. 19:39I’m putting it on top. Why? Because
  573. 19:42children don’t reach for games like
  574. 19:43this on their own. Well, you have this
  575. 19:45album right here,
  576. 19:47>> so just take it, and you don’t need
  577. 19:49this small album anymore.
  578. 19:51>> I mean, if you’re planning another
  579. 19:52child, you can just set them aside
  580. 19:54because, well, what's the point,
  581. 19:55they’re in good condition? Here is
  582. 19:57another puzzle, yes, cool and quick.
  583. 20:00It’s very cool and fits her age
  584. 20:03really well. And now look, precisely
  585. 20:05because we have this cool" Airport "
  586. 20:07puzzle, that is why I am putting away"
  587. 20:09Little Red Riding Hood, "because it’s
  588. 20:11a bit too young for 5 years old. This
  589. 20:13says they played it. She'll get through
  590. 20:17these stories too quickly if we engage,
  591. 20:19so we don’t need it. Again, based on
  592. 20:22what the child already has, yes, now
  593. 20:24I’ll take a look at what you have
  594. 20:25here. These are pure Nikitin blocks.
  595. 20:29>> Take them. This is the same thing. We
  596. 20:31have three toys. They are roughly the
  597. 20:34same. When we say you have a limited
  598. 20:36budget, look carefully at what you're
  599. 20:38buying and for what age, because it’s
  600. 20:40all the same thing. Here, we've already
  601. 20:43saved 1,000 rubles. And when we clean
  602. 20:45out closets and see repetitive things
  603. 20:47—sometimes, believe me, I have
  604. 20:49clients who buy everything without
  605. 20:50looking, and there’s 200,000 worth of
  606. 20:52stuff on the shelves that is all
  607. 20:54basically the same. Since we have a
  608. 20:56good foundation here, right, but these
  609. 20:58are travel games. We'll just keep these
  610. 21:00for travel. This one is finished.
  611. 21:02>> It’s a relic
  612. 21:04>> for her. I’m keeping this because
  613. 21:06there should always be some kind of
  614. 21:08travel game, you know, even up to the
  615. 21:09teenage years. This is some kind of
  616. 21:11memory, I see she got it from somewhere
  617. 21:13, yes,
  618. 21:14>> this goes in the memory box. How do I
  619. 21:15determine if an item doesn't have much
  620. 21:17emotional value? It's just lying on a
  621. 21:19top shelf somewhere for no reason. But
  622. 21:21as soon as a child sees some memories,
  623. 21:22and you can see this is a postcard
  624. 21:24brought back from a trip, it’s an
  625. 21:25emotional piece, but it has served its
  626. 21:27purpose. So let it stay in the memory
  627. 21:29box, and that gives us the right kind
  628. 21:32of relief, knowing that everything is
  629. 21:34okay. Winter songs.
  630. 21:37>> She sings and plays.
  631. 21:39>> Well, she sings and plays. Let's leave
  632. 21:40this for New Year's. Let the winter
  633. 21:42theme stay for winter. Children enjoy
  634. 21:44doing this very much. Is the graphics
  635. 21:47tablet working?
  636. 21:48>> Anymore. No.
  637. 21:49>> Why am I asking? Because they usually
  638. 21:51break down very quickly. We need to
  639. 21:53know if it works or not." Cheese Castle
  640. 21:55"can be played with children if guests
  641. 21:57come over this year, and then you put
  642. 21:59it away. In your case, specifically in
  643. 22:02your case, it’s a good game, but some
  644. 22:05children need to move on, right?
  645. 22:09Everything here is clear and
  646. 22:10understandable. I’m going to tidy
  647. 22:11things up for the final result. The
  648. 22:13game is in perfect order. Well, at most
  649. 22:15, there's just a little bit left to
  650. 22:16play with friends. So, friends will
  651. 22:18come over, she'll play it, and it's a
  652. 22:20good game, really. Well, Quoridor is
  653. 22:22just that. Quoridor is essentially a
  654. 22:24strategy game, but you said she already
  655. 22:26plays chess. Yes.
  656. 22:27>> Yes.
  657. 22:27>> Are you still playing Katamino or not?
  658. 22:30>> See, the foundation you mentioned that
  659. 22:32you play with is a good one. If you
  660. 22:34play with it, you are already satisfied
  661. 22:36. This, well, will stay for friends.
  662. 22:41When they come over to see her this
  663. 22:42year, the start will begin. This is the
  664. 22:44formation of friendship, if they move
  665. 22:46to another level of games, I really
  666. 22:48hope so. You have this" Don't Wake
  667. 22:51Daddy, "and also, well, in short, you
  668. 22:53will remove it, but for now it stays,
  669. 22:56right, why? Because they start with
  670. 22:59this,
  671. 22:59>> you know, to have fun, to giggle. But
  672. 23:02as soon as you lead them to some more
  673. 23:04sensible games, I am counting on this,
  674. 23:07you take this and just quietly move it,
  675. 23:09right, to another place. Well, look,
  676. 23:12here is just an example for you. Your
  677. 23:15girl can reach this shelf, on this
  678. 23:17shelf stands this box, it is quite
  679. 23:19heavy. On this box there is a pile of
  680. 23:21clutter. I mean, I immediately
  681. 23:23understand that, well, it's the same
  682. 23:25for a child, it's an instant
  683. 23:26devaluation of what's inside and what's
  684. 23:28outside. It's not just Valya coming
  685. 23:30over as some, you know, neurotic who is
  686. 23:32tidying up for you. I am showing you
  687. 23:34how you are taking away from your
  688. 23:36children the value of money, the value
  689. 23:38of work, and the value of objects. Guys
  690. 23:40, things like this cost 150 rubles.
  691. 23:42Each child has a separate place for all
  692. 23:44their drawings. Drew something, folded
  693. 23:46it, drew something, folded it, drew
  694. 23:48something, folded it. When it's full,
  695. 23:50you sort through it, throw away what's
  696. 23:52not needed, and put what is needed into
  697. 23:54a memory box. And in this way, your
  698. 23:56child learns from the start to treat
  699. 23:58their own creativity with value. Value,
  700. 24:01you see, this is how it's formed. And
  701. 24:03you won't have visual noise. And
  702. 24:05separately, you have some instructions,
  703. 24:07some manuals that are currently in use,
  704. 24:09and that's it. Color Code. Has she
  705. 24:11finished playing with it or is she
  706. 24:12still playing?
  707. 24:13>> Still playing.
  708. 24:14>> Yes, we leave this, Color Code. But
  709. 24:17since it's Color Code, right, I've
  710. 24:19already realized that this is a story
  711. 24:21where she can do it herself, so it will
  712. 24:23need to be moved to a lower level. We
  713. 24:25will get to that now. So, Alias Junior
  714. 24:28needs the adult version, but she is on
  715. 24:32the threshold of 5 years old, so in the
  716. 24:35near future. There. What is the
  717. 24:37children's version? When a child cannot
  718. 24:39read, they look at the picture, right?
  719. 24:41Therefore, as soon as she learns to
  720. 24:43read, you switch to the adult version.
  721. 24:46Okay, for now I'm leaving it, but I'm
  722. 24:47putting it up high. Why? Again, so the
  723. 24:50child sees it; I don't put it on the
  724. 24:52very top, so the child can know what
  725. 24:53they have, point a finger, and say,"
  726. 24:55Let's play this. "But because this game
  727. 24:57can't be played without parents. Well,
  728. 24:59this one can't be played without
  729. 25:01parents either, so we'll play this here
  730. 25:03too for now. Are your board games only
  731. 25:05kept here? Yes.
  732. 25:06>> Yes.
  733. 25:06>> Got it, I just wanted to know what and
  734. 25:08how to do things. Rummikub. Well, for
  735. 25:11trips, this is just a delight. But you
  736. 25:13have to take it out, you know, like if
  737. 25:15you want to use a treadmill, it has to
  738. 25:17be in plain sight, not tucked away
  739. 25:19under the bed. If you want your child
  740. 25:22to take photos and learn how to use
  741. 25:24this device starting at age 5, they all
  742. 25:26do it perfectly fine. It has video and
  743. 25:28everything else, too.
  744. 25:29>> Just take it out of the box and put it
  745. 25:31somewhere for her, like
  746. 25:33>> in an area, well, let's say in a low
  747. 25:35zone. Well, you know, if it's lying
  748. 25:38there, I want to tell you, as an adult,
  749. 25:40it's very heavy. It's not just heavy,
  750. 25:43it's very heavy. And accordingly, even
  751. 25:46if the child needs it, they won't be
  752. 25:47able to get it, which means they've
  753. 25:49already given up on those toys. I think
  754. 25:51that this torn stuff, teach your
  755. 25:53children that when an item is ruined,
  756. 25:54either you fix it,
  757. 25:56>> or you, or you throw it away. These
  758. 25:59half-measures in a beautiful interior
  759. 26:02are basically giving yourself
  760. 26:04permission to settle for mediocre items
  761. 26:07, so you aren't setting a standard for
  762. 26:09yourself. You know how people pride
  763. 26:12themselves on having a mug for 20 years
  764. 26:14that's chipped and so on." But this is
  765. 26:16my mug. "But maybe it's time to switch
  766. 26:19to a new mug and say," Please bring me
  767. 26:21an exclusive mug from some country. "Is
  768. 26:24this the mug, then? Yes, this mug. But
  769. 26:27then again, just so you understand, I
  770. 26:29threw it away and Dima says," Where?
  771. 26:31Where is it? "In short, from the Czech
  772. 26:33Republic. We don't have Moser in Russia
  773. 26:36right now. It's Czech glass, I collect
  774. 26:39expensive glasses. And they were shaped
  775. 26:41like Darth Vader, these big glasses.
  776. 26:42And they had chips right, you know, at
  777. 26:44the level of the, I was putting them in
  778. 26:46the sink and slightly...
  779. 26:47>> chips. I threw them away. He says," But
  780. 26:49they were... "I say," It's nothing,
  781. 26:50nothing, it will be a goal to bring new
  782. 26:52ones, get them, find them. "I say," But
  783. 26:53these aren't to be kept, this is about
  784. 26:55your attitude toward yourself, because
  785. 26:57that's how a decline in, let's say, a
  786. 26:59decline in standards begins, and that's
  787. 27:02not good. "And a decline in the quality
  788. 27:03of life. Let's not get the child used
  789. 27:05to such moments. Oh, what interesting
  790. 27:07LEGO. My goodness.
  791. 27:09>> Yes, it's...
  792. 27:11>> Wow, how beautiful. Dad,
  793. 27:14>> I understood, I won't touch it. This is
  794. 27:17just like, you know, something you
  795. 27:19should put on a shelf, buy one, and set
  796. 27:22it up right at the start of the school
  797. 27:24year. Well, I would put this on the
  798. 27:26dresser. Here we have everything for
  799. 27:29working, and here for decoration. Well,
  800. 27:32up to 3 years old, again, only if you
  801. 27:34want to give it to another child, but
  802. 27:37do you know what to do first? Wash it
  803. 27:39in the washing machine in a lingerie
  804. 27:41bag.
  805. 27:41>> Uh-huh.
  806. 27:42>> Do you know how LEGO gets cleaned? You
  807. 27:45buy large laundry bags with a zipper,
  808. 27:47not a drawstring, because the strings
  809. 27:49come undone and everything spills out.
  810. 27:51And basically, you set it to a regular
  811. 27:53wash cycle. Your LEGO will be as good
  812. 27:55as new. And if you decide to sell it,
  813. 27:57because many moms have this LEGO piling
  814. 27:59up and list it on sites like Avito by
  815. 28:00the bag, for example, it's clean and
  816. 28:02everything is the same. We wash mosaics
  817. 28:04in exactly the same way. So that’s a
  818. 28:06life hack for you; look at how empty
  819. 28:07our shelves are now, because while some
  820. 28:09things will go there, half, the main
  821. 28:11half, is already being cleared out.
  822. 28:13Okay, only balls or stuff like that
  823. 28:15here.
  824. 28:15>> Right, I get it. Now, things with
  825. 28:18instructions, those stay in a separate
  826. 28:20folder. All your instructions are kept
  827. 28:23here. Now we’ll get to some puzzles.
  828. 28:26Yes. The size is a definite no. No, not
  829. 28:31for anyone at all. I wouldn't even
  830. 28:33recommend re-gifting this to anyone.
  831. 28:35There is absolutely zero benefit in
  832. 28:36these puzzles. They are very large.
  833. 28:38They’re just, you know, you’ve
  834. 28:40spent your time, you only have 24 hours
  835. 28:41, I always say. There are
  836. 28:43hyper-intelligent, developed children,
  837. 28:44and there are children who are given
  838. 28:45everything, and it’s like the
  839. 28:47question is, what have you provided for
  840. 28:48their development? This has 24 pieces.
  841. 28:50Definitely no. I’m even curious to
  842. 28:52see the size. The same thing,
  843. 28:53absolutely no. Here we have a T-P
  844. 28:56puzzle, 54 pieces, small, cute. I would
  845. 28:59keep this, well, for variety, for
  846. 29:01example, if we go somewhere. If she
  847. 29:03likes puzzles and puts them together.
  848. 29:05260 pieces. When she is assembling 260
  849. 29:07pieces, she won't be assembling
  850. 29:09unicorns anymore. She will be
  851. 29:11assembling completely different
  852. 29:12pictures and themes. This story is, you
  853. 29:15know, neither here nor there; it
  854. 29:17doesn't fit into either age category
  855. 29:19for us. So, you know what, we’re
  856. 29:22getting rid of it. This has 30 elements
  857. 29:25. Definitely, for a 5-year-old girl.
  858. 29:27Why do 30 elements not suit us? It
  859. 29:29doesn’t suit us for the same reason.
  860. 29:31Here is a brain teaser. Look, we’ve
  861. 29:34taken it again, this is what we have,
  862. 29:36um, for both hands, only after an
  863. 29:38electroencephalogram. Just in case,
  864. 29:41I'll say this, but I won't dwell on the
  865. 29:43topic. Honestly, I don't think it's
  866. 29:45necessary for parents to engage in such
  867. 29:47games. Usually, you should go for a
  868. 29:49consultation with a neuropsychologist.
  869. 29:51If a neuropsychologist recommends it to
  870. 29:53you, then you do it and try; there are
  871. 29:55these materials for using both hands,
  872. 29:57yes, but without a specialist's opinion
  873. 29:59, don't use these things. That is
  874. 30:00precisely why when I receive a workbook
  875. 30:02, for example, for children, I look
  876. 30:03very closely at the percentage of such
  877. 30:05tasks inside. If there are too many
  878. 30:07tasks, even if it's a good workbook, I
  879. 30:09won't advertise it. Honestly, let's
  880. 30:10just put this away. Okay, I don't see
  881. 30:13the child, you don't have a diagnosis
  882. 30:15right now, so apart from diagnosing the
  883. 30:17children's room,
  884. 30:19>> this just isn't our topic. Honestly,
  885. 30:22just don't. And if your child assembles
  886. 30:26puzzles and loves doing it, guys,
  887. 30:27please pay attention to the aesthetics.
  888. 30:30I like this one, for example, but the
  889. 30:32question of their size is also
  890. 30:34important.
  891. 30:38>> When I show you a puzzle, I always bet
  892. 30:41on that and show you exactly these sets
  893. 30:43. Guys, come on, no, just no, what is
  894. 30:47this? Definitely no. Look, we've
  895. 30:52cleared out a huge box for arts and
  896. 30:54crafts. We need this. This is a
  897. 30:56treasure. These are pencil cases. 80
  898. 30:59pieces, 5 plus. Yes, this one, yes, and
  899. 31:0380 pieces, by the way, the theme fits
  900. 31:06her, how should I put it, fits her
  901. 31:08interests. And here we have some small
  902. 31:11boxes. You know that these boxes
  903. 31:13usually cost pennies. But this stuff,
  904. 31:15what we're throwing away now, is worth
  905. 31:17about 5,000 rubles. Because these boxes
  906. 31:20, the ones we threw out, we've already
  907. 31:22basically calculated that 15,000 rubles
  908. 31:23could have been invested in some other
  909. 31:25things. I will speak in terms of money
  910. 31:28so that parents understand, because
  911. 31:30many people think this is New Year's
  912. 31:31theme, so I'll put it aside for New
  913. 31:33Year. Okay?
  914. 31:35>> Because for New Year we keep separate
  915. 31:37games, separate boxes, some workbooks
  916. 31:39that you didn't finish coloring for the
  917. 31:41New Year, you take them out at the end
  918. 31:42of November, in December, and the child
  919. 31:44sharpens their skills while getting
  920. 31:46emotionally ready for the New Year. But
  921. 31:48if it lies around in the summer and all
  922. 31:50year round, then at New Year, kids
  923. 31:51usually don't want to go back to the
  924. 31:52old" new "stuff. So, we've freed up a
  925. 31:55box. Well, this Cinderella one is also
  926. 31:58fine. There are good pieces here. Again
  927. 32:00, a useful item can cost pennies.
  928. 32:02Nothing special. I know this one. This
  929. 32:04is for this little thing here. Do you
  930. 32:08know where to put them? When you have
  931. 32:09things like drumsticks, put them in the
  932. 32:11box with the learning materials, right
  933. 32:13where the instructions are. That way
  934. 32:14they don't get lost. Because here they
  935. 32:16were lying in a box that wasn't here
  936. 32:18nor there. So, we don't need things
  937. 32:20like that. Yes. Okay, let's move on.
  938. 32:22Now look. Everything where the nanny's
  939. 32:24materials are. She has no right to get
  940. 32:26into it anywhere else.
  941. 32:27>> Uh-huh,
  942. 32:28>> got it. This is the child's space. Why
  943. 32:30didn't I end up here?
  944. 32:32>> Everything for the nanny, everything
  945. 32:34for you, everything done together,
  946. 32:35always gets put away up high. Let's go
  947. 32:37through the games. Storytelling from
  948. 32:39pictures. A very useful thing, but you
  949. 32:41have to work on it, yes. And if it's
  950. 32:43not Anya coming to you to work on the
  951. 32:45materials, honestly, I would work on
  952. 32:47this until school starts. And if she
  953. 32:50tells you that in a year, her
  954. 32:52vocabulary and memory capacity—
  955. 32:54because we lay out the pictures, you
  956. 32:56have to build a cohesive story. It goes
  957. 32:58in order of increasing difficulty. If
  958. 33:00she shows a really good result over
  959. 33:02this year, you can put it away. But
  960. 33:03honestly, I would make this a mandatory
  961. 33:05task for the nanny, because these
  962. 33:07things are very useful, they cost
  963. 33:09pennies, the benefits are immense, but
  964. 33:11few people do it. Look and remember
  965. 33:14once a week. Also for toddlers.
  966. 33:16>> Toddler stuff. Well, yes. I'm looking
  967. 33:18at that too. I'll tell you later what
  968. 33:20else to buy. Don't worry.
  969. 33:22>> So we'll just have this played
  970. 33:25periodically, yes, but I don't know if
  971. 33:28you play it or not. We use these for
  972. 33:30neuropsychological testing, among other
  973. 33:32things. Play this periodically too, but
  974. 33:35as soon as you realize she's orienting
  975. 33:37herself quickly,
  976. 33:39>> you put this toy away, just like the
  977. 33:41materials, and either wait for the next
  978. 33:43child or give it to someone. This one
  979. 33:45is mega-useful. These two games cost
  980. 33:48little and provide a lot of benefit. So
  981. 33:52, mandatory until school. Do you play
  982. 33:54with the balancing toy?
  983. 33:55>> Yes, she loves it.
  984. 33:56>> We'll keep it, because it also trains a
  985. 33:58lot of things before school. True or
  986. 33:59False: The Human Body. I love such
  987. 34:01games in general myself. Are they all
  988. 34:03yours here? Yes,
  989. 34:06>> that's wonderful. It's an Uno Frozen.
  990. 34:09Well, Uno stays with you for life, you
  991. 34:10know, she'll be taking it to camps
  992. 34:12until her teenage years. When you don't
  993. 34:14know what to do, take out Uno. Yes, a
  994. 34:17wonderful box. I really like it from
  995. 34:18the perspective of—I have the same
  996. 34:20organization myself. Actually, I even
  997. 34:21have the exact same box. And here again
  998. 34:24, there's some sort of, well, like a
  999. 34:25keychain, most likely an emotional
  1000. 34:27souvenir, bought somewhere abroad. And
  1001. 34:29look, I'm putting these puzzles away
  1002. 34:31here. They fit perfectly right here.
  1003. 34:33Here is a box appropriate for our age.
  1004. 34:35And since it's clear the child plays
  1005. 34:37with this with her parents, we'll put
  1006. 34:40it closer here, yes, not in the corner.
  1007. 34:43In the corner, we'll put the things she
  1008. 34:46plays with by herself. I don't like it
  1009. 34:49when games are packed in plastic bags,
  1010. 34:50to be honest. Either we buy—I've
  1011. 34:53shown you many different types of these
  1012. 34:55puzzle envelopes. It's just that, let's
  1013. 34:57say, I was heading to see older
  1014. 34:59children today, so I don't have them
  1015. 35:00with me. So, if anything, here are
  1016. 35:02these kinds of containers. This way
  1017. 35:03your game is well-packed and it's easy
  1018. 35:05for the child to use. Everything is
  1019. 35:07packed away immediately, and it's great
  1020. 35:08. Here we have all the educational
  1021. 35:10games. But, see, I've blocked the box
  1022. 35:13that the child plays with. I've blocked
  1023. 35:16it, it's accessible, but it's in the
  1024. 35:18very corner. What the child plays with
  1025. 35:20and what needs to be played with in the
  1026. 35:22near future should be in sight. That's
  1027. 35:24why we put it closer. So, this stuff of
  1028. 35:27ours practically disappears. Look, this
  1029. 35:29thing here cost about 340 rubles on
  1030. 35:33Ozon. If you have it on your windowsill
  1031. 35:36or you don't have enough space, and you
  1032. 35:38need the child to have a system for
  1033. 35:40drawings, manuals, workbooks, or
  1034. 35:42something else—this is for when it's
  1035. 35:44a total disaster. I'll leave this to
  1036. 35:46the mom's discretion. Mom will tidy it
  1037. 35:48up herself later. Look here, the child
  1038. 35:50is proud of this, carries it everywhere
  1039. 35:52, so it clearly holds more value for
  1040. 35:54her than this. Let's put it in a
  1041. 35:56prominent place. And this, for example,
  1042. 36:00is the same as the LEGO. You've freed
  1043. 36:02up a box, and all the LEGO that is like
  1044. 36:04this goes in there. Make sure that your
  1045. 36:065-year-old learns to color. This
  1046. 36:09scribbling—when she does it, look,
  1047. 36:11you should sit her down and teach her
  1048. 36:13to color at least one small element,
  1049. 36:15showing her an example. At 5 years old,
  1050. 36:17she should already be paying attention.
  1051. 36:19This is a volitional component. Every
  1052. 36:20coloring book should actually work well
  1053. 36:23. She likes these subjects because
  1054. 36:25children usually scribble over them
  1055. 36:26like this when they've outgrown them.
  1056. 36:27Chukovsky at 5 years old. A water
  1057. 36:29coloring book is, of course, absolutely
  1058. 36:31amazing. Especially if I see this kind
  1059. 36:34of mess. So, that's me. Oh, a sliding
  1060. 36:36puzzle. My goodness. This...
  1061. 36:39>> Never, ever throw this away for
  1062. 36:41anything in the world. Let the child
  1063. 36:44use it. Yes. Here we have the LEGO
  1064. 36:46instructions. I see some LEGO lying
  1065. 36:48nearby. Accordingly, this goes here.
  1066. 36:51Okay, the box with the instructions.
  1067. 36:53Here is its place. It's at a level
  1068. 36:56where a child can reach it like this.
  1069. 36:58Or if we look now, we can put it here
  1070. 37:00instead. Like this. And everything is
  1071. 37:02wonderful. And what is in this box?
  1072. 37:05>> Valentin. Stuffed animals that she
  1073. 37:07doesn't play with, but won't let me
  1074. 37:08throw away. And I'm looking at them.
  1075. 37:10>> Take them off the windowsill. Just take
  1076. 37:11them off the windowsill today. She
  1077. 37:13won't even remember them. Just move
  1078. 37:15them, but then emphasize that they are
  1079. 37:17going away somewhere and buy her one
  1080. 37:19new toy. Alright. Instead of all these
  1081. 37:21soft ones, well, we already talked
  1082. 37:23about LEGO, right? I mean, guys, when
  1083. 37:25you buy big sets, like buying this Star
  1084. 37:27Wars starship or this airplane, you
  1085. 37:29should think about the fact that this
  1086. 37:31stuff will be sitting there for two
  1087. 37:33years. Once, Sasha bought the Death
  1088. 37:36Star. No, not the Death Star, that
  1089. 37:38Falcon thing. It was just a
  1090. 37:40gray-colored thing. It was about a
  1091. 37:43meter and ten centimeters long. He got
  1092. 37:45tired of it himself. He had to start
  1093. 37:47dusting it with those little brushes.
  1094. 37:49You can't put it in a container later,
  1095. 37:52so thank God he realized he needed to
  1096. 37:54get rid of it. And thank God he didn't
  1097. 37:56have space for the Death Star. This
  1098. 37:58year LEGO remade it, and it's huge,
  1099. 38:00this Death Star, because, well, all
  1100. 38:02this is great, but then you have to
  1101. 38:04live with it.
  1102. 38:06>> Uh-huh.
  1103. 38:06>> Well, all these little things, she
  1104. 38:08surely sorts through them. It's a good
  1105. 38:10stress reliever. So I'm putting this in
  1106. 38:12this box here, yes, she will see that
  1107. 38:14everything is hers, and we'll put the
  1108. 38:16same sliding puzzles in here too. Well,
  1109. 38:18there's LEGO, I won't take that apart,
  1110. 38:19but about the windowsill, you
  1111. 38:20understand, right? How is she going to
  1112. 38:22glue things for New Year's when it's
  1113. 38:24already New Year's?
  1114. 38:25>> Well, you'll peel it off, remember that
  1115. 38:27. I haven't seen one like that, I
  1116. 38:28wasn't sent one. It's Simand. I really
  1117. 38:31liked the finger gymnastics here and
  1118. 38:33the fact that we also have these tests
  1119. 38:35by neuropsychologists, where a child
  1120. 38:37comes in and many in elementary school
  1121. 38:38can't do them. Good stuff, definitely
  1122. 38:41remember this. You need to put
  1123. 38:43everything into a separate storage area
  1124. 38:44. Meaning, you put it away and forget
  1125. 38:46about it. There it sits for you. It's
  1126. 38:48good for the nanny, and good for you.
  1127. 38:52There. You have no windowsill. Why
  1128. 38:54would you need a windowsill? We have
  1129. 38:55something for creativity here as well.
  1130. 38:57>> Yes, there's a whole, well, just the
  1131. 38:58day before yesterday they gave her a
  1132. 38:59whole suitcase with paints and pencils.
  1133. 39:01>> Well, when you have a whole suitcase,
  1134. 39:04paints and pencils, yes, we put that
  1135. 39:06where it’s supposed to be stored.
  1136. 39:08Well, here, of course, your
  1137. 39:10organization is very poor. I mean, how
  1138. 39:11is she supposed to find anything in
  1139. 39:13here? There’s already some assembled
  1140. 39:15LEGO that she’s probably forgotten
  1141. 39:17about. This, if you’ll excuse me, can
  1142. 39:19be regifted. You really need to, you
  1143. 39:21know, get in here. I won’t sort
  1144. 39:22through it, I’ll just see what
  1145. 39:24we’re clearing out of here. Ah, a
  1146. 39:25Nutcracker. That’s for New Year's
  1147. 39:26under the tree. So, we’ve started on
  1148. 39:28the New Year’s theme. A set of dolls
  1149. 39:29made from a sweater. Finger puppets.
  1150. 39:31You won’t be using these, take them
  1151. 39:33away. So, paints with paints, pencils
  1152. 39:35with pencils. Buy organizers, sort them
  1153. 39:38out. You have a lot of space here.
  1154. 39:41These pencils are gorgeous, aren't they
  1155. 39:42? They’re gorgeous, but I don’t
  1156. 39:45recommend things I wouldn't use myself.
  1157. 39:47But you remember the main rule, only
  1158. 39:49what’s in my frame. Remember? Yes.
  1159. 39:52I’m just saying, just in case. It
  1160. 39:55applies to all teaching aids, only
  1161. 39:56what’s in the frame, because this is
  1162. 39:58mega cool. This thing here
  1163. 40:01>> no, it has, it’s loud.
  1164. 40:03>> I understand. That’s it, then put it
  1165. 40:04away. Why? If it’s loud, it’s just
  1166. 40:06sitting there. Again, we have New
  1167. 40:08Year’s bows for the New Year. What do
  1168. 40:11we have here? New Year. Beautiful
  1169. 40:14snowflake butterflies. These go with
  1170. 40:15the hair clips. She needs to have an
  1171. 40:16organization system for her hair clips.
  1172. 40:18Look, a child needs to draw, and you
  1173. 40:19have the set just lying here.
  1174. 40:20>> She doesn’t draw. And if
  1175. 40:23>> does she draw with those thick
  1176. 40:24children's ones?
  1177. 40:25>> Also no.
  1178. 40:26>> Also no? Well, let’s get rid of them
  1179. 40:28then. They dry out, after all. But
  1180. 40:30she’ll get used to this one. You have
  1181. 40:31to get her used to it now, when doing
  1182. 40:33letters. Blue, red. You are writing
  1183. 40:35letters, after all. Let her do it there
  1184. 40:37sometimes too. Since you have a decent
  1185. 40:39theme, let’s remove this, and leave
  1186. 40:40this one here. And as for the LEGO,
  1187. 40:43we’ll take a small box now. We’ll
  1188. 40:45move some craft supplies in here. But
  1189. 40:47you really need to, how should I put it
  1190. 40:49,
  1191. 40:50>> get it together and, you know, just do
  1192. 40:52it in the moment. Now I’m leaving.
  1193. 40:56Take it.
  1194. 40:57>> Oh, wow.
  1195. 40:58>> I’ll show you many finds here. You
  1196. 41:01know, when I come over, parents usually
  1197. 41:03say:" Oh, I was looking for that. "I
  1198. 41:04think this is part of some small barrel
  1199. 41:06that you don't need. I place these
  1200. 41:09toilet paper rolls in plain sight for
  1201. 41:11the child, so she can develop her
  1202. 41:12creativity when she sees them. So, all
  1203. 41:15this kind of stuff shouldn't just be
  1204. 41:16lying around. A child opens it, sees it
  1205. 41:18, and that's it—the process has
  1206. 41:20started. I'm taking it out now, look
  1207. 41:22how. I can't just clear everything away
  1208. 41:24at once here. And frankly, I don't
  1209. 41:25really want to. Half of this needs to
  1210. 41:27go. This is for the hostess, for
  1211. 41:28creativity—it's just as it happens,
  1212. 41:30right. But, for example, I see that the
  1213. 41:32paints haven't been sorted here. So I
  1214. 41:34went ahead and sorted just the paints
  1215. 41:36and pencils. See, they're already lying
  1216. 41:38in a separate box. There you go, that's
  1217. 41:39your creativity. And in general, at 5
  1218. 41:41years old, such things should be more
  1219. 41:43visible to us. He sees that he has it.
  1220. 41:45It acts as a trigger for his impulses,
  1221. 41:48so to speak. As soon as you create the
  1222. 41:50environment, for a child, it becomes
  1223. 41:52the norm. If you hide the markers and
  1224. 41:54pencils away, don't be surprised that
  1225. 41:56the child doesn't like them. But if
  1226. 41:57they are lying around everywhere
  1227. 41:59appropriate for his age, then the child
  1228. 42:01is drawn to them. And if you teach him
  1229. 42:04how to use them, to color and draw,
  1230. 42:06then that skill carries over, right?
  1231. 42:09That is, if you don't show how to use
  1232. 42:11it, the child won't use it. Well, this
  1233. 42:13is all girly stuff, but there are so
  1234. 42:15many drawings here that need to be
  1235. 42:17thrown away or recycled and put away
  1236. 42:20somewhere. Just do it without me. Just
  1237. 42:23for me. Alright. But look, the game is
  1238. 42:25at the very bottom under a pile of big
  1239. 42:28junk. In theory, she might even play
  1240. 42:29with it. I've been hoping for that for
  1241. 42:32years now.
  1242. 42:33>> Well, if it lies there under a pile of
  1243. 42:34junk, and there are two more at the
  1244. 42:35dacha. Is she playing with it—it's
  1245. 42:37lying in plain sight. She's playing.
  1246. 42:38Let's play.
  1247. 42:40>> See, Mom wants to clean up herself now.
  1248. 42:42We end up with games that are
  1249. 42:43accessible. There's her free time.
  1250. 42:45There's her shelf. It suits her height,
  1251. 42:48at eye level. She doesn't need to reach
  1252. 42:50anywhere. There are the games, she just
  1253. 42:51looks up and sees everything. These are
  1254. 42:53her main spots. And at the bottom is
  1255. 42:55all this little stuff. And the craft is
  1256. 42:57right in front of her eyes. Done.
  1257. 42:59Hooray. This book still won't fit here
  1258. 43:04now. But everything else will. Well, we
  1259. 43:13handled the New Year stuff, didn't we?
  1260. 43:15Do you know how many of these
  1261. 43:17containers you need? They will fit
  1262. 43:19perfectly into your drawer. Two
  1263. 43:20containers, and here you'll just put
  1264. 43:23things in boxes. So, two of these
  1265. 43:25containers for each drawer. Or you need
  1266. 43:27to get them a bit wider. And you'll
  1267. 43:28have one type of junk here and another
  1268. 43:30type of junk there. But creativity is
  1269. 43:31always about junk. So, look, you have
  1270. 43:34LEGO instructions here for sets she has
  1271. 43:36already built. Make this a rule for
  1272. 43:38yourself. As soon as your child gets
  1273. 43:40into LEGO, all instructions go into one
  1274. 43:42box immediately, because otherwise
  1275. 43:44you’ll get overwhelmed, and your
  1276. 43:45whole apartment will become a mess. I
  1277. 43:48always had this collection, my boys
  1278. 43:50always had an endless amount of LEGO.
  1279. 43:52And from a very young age, they had a
  1280. 43:54habit of keeping all the instructions
  1281. 43:56in one place. And when they sold sets
  1282. 43:58or traded them for something later,
  1283. 43:59they always knew where they could find
  1284. 44:01them. So, this whole organization story
  1285. 44:03—she finishes playing, the
  1286. 44:05instructions go here. Now, the same
  1287. 44:07thing with the medals. Look, the room
  1288. 44:09is beautiful, the room is lovely.
  1289. 44:11Things like this should be hanging in a
  1290. 44:13prominent place. This is about her.
  1291. 44:16This is the age when she should be
  1292. 44:17seeing this. It’s not about these
  1293. 44:20magnets,
  1294. 44:21>> this is what should be displayed. So,
  1295. 44:22why not hang this, for example, right
  1296. 44:25here, right? Right here. No. I mean, I
  1297. 44:28walked in and I didn't even notice she
  1298. 44:30had awards. But this is actually very
  1299. 44:32significant for children, especially
  1300. 44:34after the age of five. All parents,
  1301. 44:35every room I visit, make the same
  1302. 44:37mistake. Trophies way up near the
  1303. 44:39ceiling, medals shoved somewhere down
  1304. 44:41low. This is her achievement, this is
  1305. 44:42her pride. She should—this is the
  1306. 44:44first thing that should catch your eye
  1307. 44:46when you walk into the room. Where did
  1308. 44:48the New Year's pie go? That's for New
  1309. 44:50Year's. That goes up on the top shelf.
  1310. 44:54This is a theater for a specific fairy
  1311. 44:56tale. It’s a shadow theater, Harry.
  1312. 44:58This should be kept right here. This
  1313. 45:00fits her age, and the nanny can use it
  1314. 45:02for reading time. The fact that Little
  1315. 45:04Red Riding Hood is in a full version is
  1316. 45:06great, but it’s an infantile edition.
  1317. 45:08We need to get the child to want to
  1318. 45:09read, but this is clearly, you know,
  1319. 45:11just for the very first stages of
  1320. 45:12reading. She’ll finish reading these
  1321. 45:15toddler books, and then you should
  1322. 45:17immediately switch to, how should I put
  1323. 45:19it, normal literature, in a standard
  1324. 45:21edition. A photograph,
  1325. 45:23>> yes, I’ve already understood. Well,
  1326. 45:25when we have photos displayed like this
  1327. 45:27, I recommend you either put them in a
  1328. 45:28prominent place since you just arrived,
  1329. 45:30or put them in an" emotions box, "you
  1330. 45:32understand? Especially since I can see
  1331. 45:35this is old history. Yes.
  1332. 45:37>> You see, it’s sitting here, and well,
  1333. 45:39why is it lying here? An emotions box
  1334. 45:41or photos? A box for photographs.
  1335. 45:43>> Aha.
  1336. 45:44>> Can I set this aside? You decide for
  1337. 45:46yourself what to do with it. Usually,
  1338. 45:47in our house, everything gets taken
  1339. 45:49down to the first floor, to the
  1340. 45:50windowsill, and people pick out what
  1341. 45:51they need themselves. When you don't
  1342. 45:53know what to do with a toy, and you
  1343. 45:55realize it's just clutter, but taking
  1344. 45:56it somewhere to drop off is too much of
  1345. 45:58a hassle, just take it downstairs and
  1346. 46:00leave it there. They get picked up in
  1347. 46:01seconds. You have no idea how much
  1348. 46:04stuff gets collected. Etiquette.
  1349. 46:06Wonderful, right? It's wonderful. I'll
  1350. 46:09set it aside later to see what we have
  1351. 46:11on medicine for little ones. I don't
  1352. 46:13even know why she's like that. Why
  1353. 46:14didn't Phoenix send me these? These are
  1354. 46:18actually so interesting.
  1355. 46:19>> These are interesting, right? I mean,
  1356. 46:21they send me a ton of stuff. Valya is
  1357. 46:22sorting through it. But they didn't
  1358. 46:24send me the good ones. Moomins. Have
  1359. 46:27you read them already?
  1360. 46:28>> No. Well,
  1361. 46:29>> read them while you can.
  1362. 46:31>> That's good, because Moomins are for up
  1363. 46:33to six years old; after five, we need
  1364. 46:35exposure to a different kind of
  1365. 46:36language.
  1366. 46:37>> Uh-huh. I mean, specifically from the
  1367. 46:39perspective of information processing,
  1368. 46:41if you want to invest your reading time
  1369. 46:43wisely, this book is strictly for
  1370. 46:45before age six. Try to finish it before
  1371. 46:48the school year starts. I'm serious.
  1372. 46:51That doesn't mean the book is bad or
  1373. 46:52anything. It just means that we are
  1374. 46:54investing our time differently now. A
  1375. 46:57different age requires a different
  1376. 46:58investment. The" House of Turning "(The
  1377. 46:59House of the World). This is what she
  1378. 47:01needs to read right now, if you haven't
  1379. 47:02read it yet.
  1380. 47:03>> If you've read it, then put it away.
  1381. 47:05>> There's no need to go back to it.
  1382. 47:06That's all my questions regarding
  1383. 47:07>> I would rather read this one right now
  1384. 47:10than keep reading the Moomins. I want
  1385. 47:12to be honest with you, honestly.
  1386. 47:14>> Well,
  1387. 47:15>> well, never mind, without me. But I
  1388. 47:17would switch over to this story right
  1389. 47:19now. Winnie the Pooh. Well, you don't.
  1390. 47:24>> Robinson Crusoe. Well, I understand,
  1391. 47:26it's an old story. Not right now, it's
  1392. 47:28for
  1393. 47:30>> well, you definitely won't be reading
  1394. 47:31this in the next two years. Although,
  1395. 47:33if I were to develop my reading,
  1396. 47:34Robinson Crusoe. Sasha read it during
  1397. 47:36elementary school, but that doesn't
  1398. 47:38mean everyone is like that; well,
  1399. 47:39Krylov's fables, that's clear, and
  1400. 47:41she'll be covering that in school
  1401. 47:43anyway. That is a wonderful story
  1402. 47:44overall. All of this is useful. Read"
  1403. 47:47Wind in the Willows "as well. Musical
  1404. 47:49instruments. The Big Book of Water
  1405. 47:51belongs with the encyclopedias. Try to
  1406. 47:53separate them, you know, divide them
  1407. 47:55into encyclopedias and fiction. Yes,
  1408. 47:57have you read Mowgli yet? No,
  1409. 47:59>> didn't land well, maybe too early. Well
  1410. 48:01, that means you should read the" House
  1411. 48:03of the World "right now, and then
  1412. 48:05gradually switch to Mowgli. And if it's
  1413. 48:07too difficult, you can read it
  1414. 48:09alongside another book that's a bit
  1415. 48:10easier. For example, you read a little
  1416. 48:13bit of that, and a bit more from the
  1417. 48:15main book, right? Just to keep the
  1418. 48:17brain trained. We always have three
  1419. 48:19books going at once.
  1420. 48:20>> So, for example, you can definitely
  1421. 48:21give her The Jungle Book right now. All
  1422. 48:23parents should have a shelf or a
  1423. 48:25cupboard called" gifts. "When you've
  1424. 48:27been given something you know isn't
  1425. 48:29right for your child, just re-gift it;
  1426. 48:31if it's a good book or edition, don't
  1427. 48:33let it gather dust, give it to someone
  1428. 48:34else. But guys, it's impossible to read
  1429. 48:36all the literature out there. You know
  1430. 48:37what I mean? I'm still, how should I
  1431. 48:39put it? Reading certain books,
  1432. 48:42there’s an endless amount of reading
  1433. 48:45to be done. This here is what she can
  1434. 48:47read, you know, independently, on her
  1435. 48:49own. So, add the Tale of the Priest and
  1436. 48:51of His Workman Balda, and The Tale of
  1437. 48:52the Dead Princess here. This is truly,
  1438. 48:54yes, her whole collection, including
  1439. 48:56The Steadfast Tin Soldier. Well, in
  1440. 48:58short, all the books here, I like this
  1441. 49:00selection. The books are read, you can
  1442. 49:02keep them, but you should have the next
  1443. 49:05shelf of literature in her sight that
  1444. 49:07she is about to read, which will lure
  1445. 49:09her with pictures, titles, and stories
  1446. 49:12—just put them out. And then there
  1447. 49:14are no questions about it, because it
  1448. 49:15fits her age. But since you've read
  1449. 49:17these, there must be something there
  1450. 49:19that you will read
  1451. 49:20>> ahead of time. You can just hand out a
  1452. 49:22wish list to all your friends. Take a
  1453. 49:24series of encyclopedias—I had videos
  1454. 49:26where a series was already selected—
  1455. 49:28so you don't have to think, and give
  1456. 49:30one book to each person. That's it, and
  1457. 49:32you have something new, it's an
  1458. 49:33investment, it's useful, and everything
  1459. 49:35is great, because this, all of this
  1460. 49:37>> is for independent reading, right?
  1461. 49:39>> But how much can you have for
  1462. 49:40independent reading? She’ll never
  1463. 49:42read all that in her life.
  1464. 49:44>> Sort through the independent reading
  1465. 49:45list with the person who knows her, who
  1466. 49:47works with her, who is teaching her to
  1467. 49:49read. You have a tutor coming over, or
  1468. 49:50a nanny, or someone, right?
  1469. 49:52>> It’s their job to sort through it.
  1470. 49:53You don't need to keep all of this.
  1471. 49:55It’s too much, way too much for
  1472. 49:57independent reading. As soon as she
  1473. 49:59masters the technique of reading by
  1474. 50:00syllables—meaning, you know, she
  1475. 50:02reads slowly syllable by syllable—she
  1476. 50:03moves on to literature that actually
  1477. 50:05interests her. And that’s when you
  1478. 50:07have, pardon me, a selection here,
  1479. 50:08including Harry Potter,
  1480. 50:10>> which she is already reading the first
  1481. 50:11part of, and these books she reads on
  1482. 50:13her own, just a little bit at a time,
  1483. 50:15paragraph by paragraph. This doesn't
  1484. 50:17mean we start with something difficult.
  1485. 50:18We start with something easy, but it
  1486. 50:20has to pass quickly, quickly, quickly,
  1487. 50:22quickly
  1488. 50:22>> otherwise. What kind of interest in
  1489. 50:23reading would there be? I'm reading
  1490. 50:25nonsense that I read when I was three.
  1491. 50:27What's the interest in that?
  1492. 50:28>> Uh-huh.
  1493. 50:29>> In the beginning, it needs to be easy
  1494. 50:31so that reading comprehension forms
  1495. 50:32faster. But as soon as her reading
  1496. 50:34technique is established, as soon as
  1497. 50:36she gets the hang of reading by
  1498. 50:38syllables, we move on to literature
  1499. 50:40that interests her, meaning her
  1500. 50:42favorite book. But she reads just a
  1501. 50:44little bit: three lines, five lines,
  1502. 50:46six lines, a paragraph. But she reads
  1503. 50:48what interests her, otherwise children
  1504. 50:50stop reading later on. So, sort this
  1505. 50:52out, keep a few books, I agree, but not
  1506. 50:54in this volume. There’s an
  1507. 50:56encyclopedia here, I see an
  1508. 50:57encyclopedia, for example, yes. Let's
  1509. 50:59take a look inside. They are more for
  1510. 51:01little ones. Actually no, the
  1511. 51:03information inside is fine. In short,
  1512. 51:05everything you have is great. See, we
  1513. 51:07even cleared out the books in just a
  1514. 51:09few seconds, yes, and then you'll be
  1515. 51:10able to handle this yourself. I can put
  1516. 51:12this here like this, so you know that
  1517. 51:14this goes here. In principle,
  1518. 51:17>> we have it empty here.
  1519. 51:18>> And you have two empty drawers there.
  1520. 51:22Just organize, well, containers, clear
  1521. 51:24everything off the windowsill, and then
  1522. 51:26really think about a larger desk so
  1523. 51:28that for her, since she studies like
  1524. 51:30this, at least a meter twenty. At least
  1525. 51:33a meter twenty. And regarding depth,
  1526. 51:37look, if she has everything set up like
  1527. 51:38this, for example, one shelf is
  1528. 51:40stationary, yes, standing by the desk,
  1529. 51:42and the other one has the lift
  1530. 51:43mechanism so that her eyes, this tilt
  1531. 51:45level. But with all that, if there are
  1532. 51:48pencils on the desk, there is no need
  1533. 51:49to constantly put them away like you
  1534. 51:51are doing.
  1535. 51:52>> And accordingly, it’s great here from
  1536. 51:54a storage point of view. And later your
  1537. 51:55husband will take the airplane here,
  1538. 51:57and I will write you a list of toys,
  1539. 51:59please, everything you have is
  1540. 52:00wonderful. And don't forget to remove
  1541. 52:01the stuffed animals from the windowsill
  1542. 52:03. And remove the stickers, agreed.
  1543. 52:05That's it. quiet
