In Place of Introduction

When returning from the south of Russia to our native city, we stopped in Voronezh at our friends' place for a day (after 13 hours of driving). The main reason for making a one-day break from driving was the conduction of a children's art-group! Having read in "Parents' Ideas" about our art-meetings for kids, our mummy-friends from Voronezhasked us to visit them and give a "guest performance"

I tried not to think of how everything would go – to conduct an art-meeting in a company of such little ones – that was quite new for me. Before our daughter Soniya had been the youngest at such meetings; she copied the elder kids and we were at home (there were no unknown distracting things there).

The children if not greeted each other happily, they, at least, felt comfortable in the company of each other. Lika was shining with smiles, Soniya immediately figured out where the greatest number of toys was, Andrew and Karim did not fall behind in their investigations, either.

Only Karim behaved ideally – he was sitting on his mother's lap quietly and with attention watching everything. Actually, we hadn't expected that the children would sit absolutely quietly. As for me, I was happy that Soniya was participating in all the suggested meditation activities. And what of it that between them she found time to get into the playpen with toys turned onto its side?!

The aim is reached – everybody has got joyful state! We are moving to the second part!… Hm-m-m, Читать дальше…
