Нам часто кажется, что мы общаемся с детьми единственно возможным способом – как же иначе?! Ведь, кажется, человечество проделало длинный путь к пониманию того, что такое дети и что такое детство. Так вот давайте посмотрим вместе на этот путь, а заодно попробуем понять, чем руководствовались наши предки, помещая детей в те или иные ниши в общественной иерархии. Почему школа выглядит именно так, какова эволюция в отношениях взрослых и детей, насколько и как далекое и близкое прошлое влияет на нас сегодняшних? Вместе с Димой Зицером мы поразмышляем и о том, что определяет наши отношения сегодня, насколько возможно все-таки двигаться навстречу друг другу. Ну и наконец, как изменить и наладить отношения с собственным ребенком? Дима Зицер – Ph.D по педагогике, известен своей деятельностью по популяризации гуманистического подхода в современной педагогике и технологий неформального образования. Автор статей по практической педагогике, книг «Современное педагогическое искусство: азбука НО» и «Свобода от воспитания». Директор Института Неформального образования INO.

These are simple, easy-to-follow meals and plans that require minimal prep time, make the most of your ingredients and won’t break the bank. I’ve also provided recipes for the months and years that follow, including sections on feeding the entire family (the ultimate goal!) and the perfect things to serve at party time.There will be testing moments but there will be joyous ones too – I’ll never forget the look on my children’s faces when they first tasted baby rice! So take a deep breath, trust your intuition and dive in!Love, Holly xxx
