It would seem, who is now interested in the views of the Soviet teacher. But his books are still being reprinted, bought and read, and the reviews of modern young parents are very positive.

Anton Semyonovich Makarenko outlined in this book his pedagogical views on the upbringing of children in the family, he hoped that "the reader in this book will find useful starting points for his own active pedagogical thinking."

The views of A. S. Makarenko have received international recognition - there is a decision by UNESCO (1988) concerning only four teachers who determined the way of pedagogical thinking in the twentieth century. These are John Dewey, Georg Kershensteiner, Maria Montessori and Anton Makarenko.

From review: “There are no morals, laws and rules in the book. The author considers specific life situations on the example of specific families (or rather, different approaches to education) and what results each approach eventually led to (what the child became as a result).

And if you are not familiar with books at all A. S. Makarenko and its history, be sure to read it yourself, maybe you want your teenage child to read it:
"Pedagogical Poem"

A.S. Makarenko has several more books, for example “Raising children right. How?"
in the ozone in the labyrinth

Janusz Korczak Probably few people have not heard about this man, but still we repeat a few words: an outstanding Polish teacher, writer, doctor and public figure (1878-1942), devoted his whole life to children.

He remained faithful to them until his death: refusing the possibility of escaping from the fascist ghetto, he remained with his pupils, Jewish orphans, to the end and together with them entered the gas chamber.

One of his best books
in the ozone in the labyrinth

— married couple, parents of eight children - have created a whole library of books for parents, using their life and medical experience. In their books you can find practical advice care and communication with children for each stage of a child's growing up.

Gippenreiter Julia Borisovna - Russian psychologist, professor at Moscow State University, specialist in experimental psychology, family psychotherapy. Author of numerous publications and books on psychology.

One of the best books on parenting is cited by readers as a top-selling book for its rare combination of scientific depth and clarity.
“Communicate with the child. How?"
in the ozone in the labyrinth

How to build a normal relationship with a child? Is it possible to improve relations if they have completely reached an impasse? Of course you can. The world practice of psychological assistance to children and their parents has shown that even very difficult problems of upbringing are completely solvable if it is possible to restore a favorable style of communication in the family.

The approach to man and human relationships in this book is based primarily on understanding the child, his needs and requirements, on knowledge of the patterns of his growth and development of his personality.

The book by Yu. B. Gippenreiter expands and deepens the indicated topics. “We continue to communicate with the child. So?”
in the ozone in the labyrinth

This book discusses the many questions that parents worry about: “How to educate him? How to teach discipline? How to punish? How to make him study well? New important details and techniques of the art of effective communication are analyzed and explained.

"For parents: a book of questions and answers"
in the ozone in the labyrinth

The author's most recent book is a condensed retelling of the bestsellers Communicating with a Child. How?" and “We continue to communicate with the child. So? ”, Only aimed at the practical solution of specific problems. This work was conceived as a lifesaver when there is no time to study fundamental benefits - in difficult everyday situations.

For example, the author gives brief answers to such questions: “What to say to children when there is grief in the family?”, “Can children attend funerals?”, “Is it possible to encourage money?”, “How to help overcome fear?”, “How don't yell at the kids? etc.

Here is an example of how the author defends the right of the child to “secrets” and the opportunity to be alone: ​​“You need to be delicate. When we communicate with friends, we do not turn to them with rude questions, we do not “get into their souls”. And the child is first and foremost our friend. Therefore, we will try to respect what interests and worries him, in no case hurting him, not belittling his experiences.

Life with a child requires exceptional subtlety from us. And this is a great opportunity to develop our own humanity.” These words, perhaps, best characterize the approach to children of Yu. B. Gippenreiter herself.

Parents: How to be a child Compiled by Yu. B. Gippenreiter
in the ozone in the labyrinth

From the compiler: "This book is made up of living stories - memories various people about their childhood, in which the authors managed to mentally return to that time, again deeply experience it and tell a heartfelt story about it.

Children, as a rule, cannot reveal to us the full complexity of their inner world. They lack words, and sometimes faith in our understanding. And this most difficult task of an excitedly open communication about oneself for all children and on behalf of all children is skillfully solved by the authors of the memoirs!

Reading these memoirs, you are surprised to learn how sometimes our ideas about what it means to be a child are far from the truth. They make it possible to visit the “skin” of a child, hear his inner voice, see the world through his eyes, learn about his problems and joys.

The purpose of this anthology is to help us, adults, to understand children more deeply, better, more sympathetically.

I hope that such an understanding will enable readers to take a completely different look at communication with their own child, to see their own mistakes and, conversely, good luck in raising him. Moreover, in the texts of memoirs, we also get acquainted with the behavior patterns of some parents and teachers and have the opportunity to borrow the brilliant experience of these adults.

This anthology forms a single series with my first two books for parents: “Communicate with a child. How?" and “We continue to communicate with the child. So?". She continues the themes of these books and the general humanistic approach to raising a child.

in the ozone in the labyrinth

Here is just one of the many reviews about this book: “I recommend it to parents who have two or three children, and maybe more. So many useful information about raising multiple children. I would say that the book is rare, I read a lot on this topic. There are many books about parenting, but very, very little has been written about raising brothers or sisters.

Despite the fact that the authors are foreigners, they very accurately describe the situations that occur every day in many families. Behavioral motives and feelings of children are very similar everywhere. I really liked the fact that the book is illustrated with pictures, which very quickly help to understand this or that situation and find a way to resolve it.”

Masaru Ibuka "It's Too Late After 3"
in the ozone in the labyrinth

The author is a Japanese engineer and entrepreneur, one of the founders of Sony Corporation, the creator of innovative concepts for the upbringing and education of young children, which are reflected in the book. Already the 6th edition of the book in Russia still attracts the attention of readers.

In our audience, we turned to this book, .

Ibuka offers a unique system that affects different aspects of a child's life, from the daily routine to the awakening of interest in art. He focuses not on skills, but on the education of feelings and moral qualities, and insists that it is important to encourage imagination and support creative endeavors.

He emphasizes that there are no “too difficult” things for children - if they are not ready to understand something, they simply do not pay attention to it. The author also believes that young children have the ability to learn anything.

He reflects on the huge impact on newborns environment and offers simple and understandable teaching methods that contribute to the early development of the child. In his opinion, what adults learn with great difficulty, children learn playfully. And the main thing in this process is to enter in time new experience. But only the one who is next to the child every day can recognize this “on time”.

John Gray "Children from Heaven"
in the ozone in the labyrinth

The book tells how to develop a spirit of cooperation, responsiveness and self-confidence in a child. The author replaces the concept of "obedience" with "cooperation" and explains how to subtly move from the first to the second.

His method of education is based on 5 principles:

• Making mistakes is okay.
• Being different is normal.
• Showing negative emotions is normal.
• Wanting more is fine.
• Expressing your disagreement is fine, but remember that mom and dad are in charge.

John Gray also believes that it is not necessary to protect the child from problems - you need to help him go through these difficulties.

Quotes: "Instead of teaching children what is good and what is bad, teach them to find the answer in their own soul."

"Children's problems start at home and can be solved there."

“In order to instill in a child a spirit of cooperation, self-confidence and responsiveness, it is necessary to develop his will, and not break it.”

“Using punishment, you become enemies to the child from whom you need to hide, and not parents from whom you can expect help.”

Many parents like the books of the pediatrician and child psychologist, MD, professor, as well as mom and grandmother Alla Barkan.

One of them - "Bad Habits of Good Children" ,

There are also several others that have gone through several editions. A book was published in 2015 “The child is well in kindergarten. How to achieve this. Book for educators and parents»

No less popular with many Russian moms and paps of the book of a practicing psychologist and psychotherapist, candidate of psychological sciences, chairman of the Association of Psychologists-Practitioners "Just Together", Irina Yurievna Mlodik .

The most famous is "A book for imperfect parents, or Life on free theme» ,
in the ozone in the labyrinth

In 2014, the 9th edition of this book was already published, and in one of the reviews it is suggested that I. Mlodik put the wise saying of the great Pythagoras as an epigraph to this book: "Keep your children's tears so they can shed them on your grave."

True, it must be said that not all reviews are so complimentary, there are a variety of opinions, some reproach the author for categorical judgments, for disrespect for colleagues. Therefore, it is worth making your own opinion.

The author proposes to get rid of stereotypes in time, which greatly influence our lives, and to understand in time that you don't have to be the perfect parent! It is very difficult to allow yourself to be not a very good mother - ordinary, such as it is. Give yourself the installation: "I best mom for your own the best child and he doesn't need another. If he had a different mother, then the child would be different.”

The book touches upon simple human things, but which, as adults, we don’t talk to children about. Maybe once, maybe we think, and so everything is clear. This book can be read with a child, read to an adult, and a child (from 7 years old) can read it himself.

Perhaps it is he who will find the answers to many of the questions that tormented him. The author through the book, as it were, communicates with the child reader, with great respect for everyone actors. This book is a talking point. There are many questions about reading, there are practically no answers, so most likely the book is addressed to the parent + child tandem, and it is worth reading it together, discussing and reflecting.

It seems to me that if I had not accidentally read this book on the advice of a friend, I would have remained a fool for the rest of my life, and it is not clear how I would have brought up a child. Thank you Maximov for the book!”

Taking into account the personality of the author, who is not a professional teacher, but a well-known writer and TV presenter, author of several books on the psychology of communication, by his own admission, working in the genre of "statements", we offer his book.

Maximov's "statements" about our relationship with children may seem controversial and harsh to many. The author firmly stands on the position of protecting the child, he is convinced that if problems arise between generations, the parents are always to blame. Maksimov also writes very impartially about modern system education and gives practical advice - how parents can fix what school spoils in a small person.

The book contains absolutely original, philosophical reflections on how relationships between adults and children were built before and are being built today, and purely practical advice on what needs to be done in order not to become an enemy to your child. Each chapter is complemented by philosophical parables - fairy tales that will be of interest to both children and adults. You can read the book with your child.

By Bronson and Ashley Merriman "Myths of Parenting. Science versus intuition"
in the ozone in the labyrinth

This book is rather a digest of the most important discoveries useful to parents. It is written by brilliant journalists who managed to combine a fascinating story with the results of the latest scientific research.

The book was on the New York Times bestseller list for 6 months, was included in 35 lists of the best books in 2009, translated into 16 languages, the authors received 9 professional awards for this book.

The authors undertake to prove that when it comes to raising children, we often forget that good intentions and effective methods— is far from the same thing. The book provides numerous examples that show the failure of many common myths and approaches, which often have the opposite effect of what was intended.

Among those mentioned in the book modern ideas such:
1. You can not praise children for their intelligence. You can only praise for actions. “By praising children for being smart, we let them know that the most important thing is to look smart and not take risks so as not to make mistakes. If you praise efforts and perseverance, you convey to the child a sense of control over the situation̆. He will understand that success depends on himself. If you praise a child for the intelligence that he was endowed with from birth, you take the situation beyond his control. It will be very difficult for him to survive the failure.”

2. “Intelligence is not innate. If you force the brain to work, new neurons will appear in it. The brain is a muscle. If you train your brain, you get smarter."

3. Symptoms adolescence almost identical to the symptoms of chronic lack of sleep. That is, most of the problems of adolescents are associated with lack of sleep. Performance in schools increased when the start of classes was shifted an hour later. It's simple - children and adolescents need more sleep - preferably 10 hours a day.

4. “Little children lie to please you, to make you happy. Therefore, the assurance that the truth will make the parent happy changes the child's initial idea that the parent will be happy when he hears good news. Now the child knows how to please you.”

In Ozone

At the moment, the book has been translated into 10 languages, including Russian. Gordon Neufeld, PhD, is a Canadian developmental psychologist who has devoted his work to the theory of attachment. Gordon and Mate write about the phenomenon of replacing attachment to parents with attachment to peers.

The authors consider this trend one of the most destructive and misunderstood in modern society. They show how and why children gradually lose contact with us, and how the loss of this contact negatively affects their psycho-emotional development.

This book is about how to understand a very young child who does not yet speak, how to find a common language with him. In a book about how the method of natural child care has many advantages and you can:

• learn to recognize the signs of the child about the desire to “go to the toilet” and have time to respond to them,
• establish a deep emotional connection with the child, which will continue later,
• do without diaper dermatitis, diaper rash and skin irritations,
• to drop off the child not only at home, but also when traveling, in the car, during sleep

Jean Ledloff How to Raise a Happy Child. The principle of succession»
in the ozone in the labyrinth

The book of an American psychotherapist is recommended to those who wonder: how to raise a happy child. In the more than thirty years that have passed since the first publication of the book, it has been translated into 12 languages ​​and has become extremely popular in many countries around the world.

The book was translated into Russian in 1996 and went through 8 reprints. In those days, the theory of Benjamin Spock (Dr. Spock) was widespread, who considered ignoring the needs of the child to be normal, so as not to spoil.

J. Ledloff spent two and a half years in the tribes of South American Indians, where complete harmony reigns in relations between adults and children. She came to the conclusion that it would not be bad to treat children the way their ancestors did, then the children will be calm and happy.

This book is about how important it is when raising a child to listen to your own intuition, and not to the advice of "experts" in the field of child care.

The authors of some reviews believe that it is from this book that parents should start studying the basics of education in order to understand how the child feels and sees the world and perceives relationships with parents. Only then you can (and should) read books by Irina Mlodik, and only then textbooks on communication by Gippenreitor.

Osorina Maria Vladimirovna "The secret world of children in the space of the world of adults."
in the ozone in the labyrinth

Most parents do not remember themselves in childhood, and therefore cannot see the world around them in the same way as their children. This book will help to restore the lost view of the world, and will also teach you to recognize the child as a person, to recognize his independent experience.

The book is devoted to an extremely important, but little-studied problem: how a child masters the space of the world around him and what traditional methods have been created for this by children's subculture and folk pedagogy.

The originality of the approach and the amazing powers of observation of the author help to understand the complexity and importance of personal tasks that a small person has to solve while exploring the world of adults and creating his own world. Already the 6th edition of the book.

"Five Ways to a Child's Heart"

Happiness - best university Pushkin said. What does it mean? Growing up, the child must constantly feel parental love - then he is happy, then he enters adulthood as a full-fledged citizen.

Parents often do not know that the child feels parental love in their own way, and without wanting it, they can make him unhappy. This is the reason for disobedience, poor study and even hidden aggression. How to find that necessary and only true path to the heart of your child and achieve mutual understanding, this book suggests.

"Stop raising children - help them grow"
in the ozone in the labyrinth

This is the first book of the authors, it was published in 2006 (Over the past years, another 15 books have been published). The book is a voice in defense of parents, tortured by endless advice, a sense of duty, lack of time and energy for "education". Parents are people too, no one wants to be angry, annoyed, guilty of an undeveloped relationship.

The authors propose to leave the very concept of “education” and start making friends with your child, understanding him, breathing him, just loving. A book for thinking, doubting and seeking parents. She will teach you not to be afraid to admit your mistakes and correct them, as well as look at your child with slightly different eyes. And most importantly, it will convince you that raising children is easy and joyful!

The main idea of ​​all the books is: “You don’t have to “raise children with all your might”, but you can raise them like flowers and grow with them - as a person, as a parent. Why force and break when you can always agree? And if it is impossible to agree and the relationship has already become complicated, then we must try to return the main thing to the family - friendship. And all the other problems - the child began to lie, study poorly, make friends with the wrong people, etc. is a derivative of the main problem. Misunderstandings, miscommunications.

This concludes our review of useful books for parents for now, although good books there are still many beyond its borders. You, our wonderful readers, will add some of them in the comments.

How to deal with a difficult child? What should children be taught under the age of 3? What mistakes could have been avoided? Parenting - hard work in which assistants are useful. Of course, it can be parents, friends or acquaintances. But usually none of them is a recognized expert in child psychology (although they may think otherwise). Therefore, in order to avoid useless advice, it is better to turn to professionals. That is, to psychologists and doctors who write useful books especially for you with an analysis of all sorts of complex issues.

Greetings to all parents who want to harmoniously develop their children. Today I will describe some of the books I read about raising children. Some of them made more of an impression on me because they were read during my son's early infancy. Being the mother of my first child, I was interested in everything and wanted to do everything right. Then there were already books in which there were repetitions of information. Now I will try to be objective and present you my opinion on really useful books for parents.

“Behind the book” artist Andrey

1. How to feed a child without tears
2. Education and training programs in kindergarten
3. Development of gaming activities

I'll start with this book by Rana Conway. Almost all parents understand the importance of proper nutrition of the child. Many people buy books about healthy eating to understand the best way to feed babies. But few parents initial stage think about not making their own mistakes in behavior with a child at the table. Such books should be read not when the problem in the behavior of the child at the table is obvious, but long before that.

In the first part of the book, the author gives information about what to expect from a child of different ages. Starting from infancy and up to primary school age (5-10 years), the moments that affect the child's appetite at each age are described in a compact but clear way. It is important to know this so that parents understand the reason for the lack of appetite, or vice versa, its increase.

The author then describes in great detail how parents can avoid stress. are given brief recommendations about how best to behave as a parent in order to instill in the child the habit healthy nutrition. After that, the author gives the same recommendations about what NOT to do. And in this part of the book, I recognized the behavior of my grandmother, who raised me. As everyone knows, our childhood instincts are deeply embedded in us, it became clear to me why I had to read a lot of books on nutrition at the age of 16-17.

At the end of each chapter, the author summarizes the main principles described in it. A separate chapter is devoted specifically to parents and their nutrition. The author very specifically explains that if the parent's attitude to a balanced diet is wrong, then it will definitely be passed on to the child. And here the parent is given the opportunity to analyze their habits at the table.

I read this book when my son was two months old, so the chapter on when to introduce solid foods, how, how much and what kind of solid foods was relevant to me. The author gives a recommended list of foods for babies from six months old, as well as a list of foods that are prohibited in the first year of life. Then continue feeding the child 1-2 years old, 3-4 years old and 5-10 years old. All this without unnecessary tables and notations, only recommendations and, in my opinion, very necessary.

If you already have a problem, then the second part of the book will give you the opportunity to identify its cause, and you will also find recommendations on how to fix it.

• If the child refuses food,
• children who do not want to eat breakfast,
• if the child refuses to sit at the table,
• if the baby spits out food,
• if the child is overweight, and so on.

All these problems are described in detail in this book, but the most important thing is that parents who do not have such problems can analyze why they arise and prevent such a situation in relation to their own child. I can say for sure that of the 4 books I read on this topic, this one turned out to be the most useful.

In continuation, I will write briefly about another book, which I also read in advance in order to avoid mistakes. This book helps parents understand when their child is ready to remove diapers. Sometimes mothers look at the neighbor's kids and believe that if they refused diapers, then it's time for their own child to take them off.

The authors clearly explain the difference between the maturation of boys and girls, what can affect readiness and why rollbacks can occur. I was useful information about what is easier to control the child, the bladder or intestines. A lot of attention in the book is paid to the fact that children are unique, that the same rule does not work for everyone. Therefore are given different examples with children of different ages and gender, describes the behavior of their parents, how they managed to solve the problems that arose before them.
Most of the book is devoted to how to start and what steps you need to go through so that the exit from the diapers is calm for the child and the parent.

Library Kindergarten Education and Education Programs

I really want to draw your attention to this series, which is intended for both kindergarten teachers and parents. What makes her interesting. Books are designed in accordance with modern educational standard and as a mother who decided that early development would suit my son and me, to be honest, I did not expect much from these books. But taking one of them for a test, I realized that the information is very useful. No mixing and blurring by age - each book provides a complete understanding of a child's development over the course of one year.

• Development indicators of the given year;
• Physical development of the child;
• Mental development of the child;
• The upbringing and education of the child different types activities;
• Music, entertainment, walks;
• child in society.

These are the main parameters that describe what to expect a parent in a given year, what to develop and how best to do it. So in the book "The child of the second year of life" are given useful advice about how to accustom a child to a book, how best to read and what books to start with; educational songs with words and notes are given, as well as games on given age. In the book "Child of the third year of life" the crisis of three years is described; how to develop story game with a child, many theatrical scenarios for home theatre.

The series is quite large, from the books I read I can recommend:
