Vladimir Zheleznikov “Scarecrow”

Marina Melnikova's review of the “Samokat” book “The Book of All Things” by Guus Kuyer (2018) It's a very very cool book; I can't even call it a children's book. Not so long ago, I realized that the division into children's and non-children's books is somehow wrong. Good books, films, and plays range from a certain age to a hundred years, or longer, whoever gets lucky. I've seen such people more and more often lately: Miss Charity, The Jellyfish Report, Alice in Wonderland translated by Yevgeny Klyuev, Waffle Heart, and even The Fox and the Bunny. So, of course, I had seen such books before, but I didn't understand it, I thought they stayed when I was a child, books that I had once read a hundred times...

Dear parents! I would like to introduce you to Samokat's wonderful graphic book “The Volcano That Was Angry” (2020). The author of the text and drawings is Natalya Baiduzha, a designer and illustrator from Siberia. Age marking 0-3.4-6. I am very closely researching new children's books that raise the topic of aggression and bullying. And not all books appeal to me, and I don't want to talk about them all. But I immediately became interested in Vulcan, although it is for children of an age I don't work with. I looked at it carefully several times and figured out how parents or caregivers could “work” with her.

One idiotic photo. One inappropriate comment on social media after an extra glass of wine. And now my whole life is going downhill. Just one sin, and a wave of popular rage is destroying everything in its path. This is the dark side of social media. Forbes Life publishes an excerpt from “So You Were Publicly Humiliated” by acclaimed writer and documentary filmmaker John Ronson, which will be released by Bombora in January.

In this video, I'm talking about great children's books that help children understand themselves and adults. The video focuses on the topic of an adult's responsibility for someone else's child who needs support or help.

Being an outcast at school is very hard. Moreover, it is at school age that you most want to be part of something big, a member of a big group, a team... to feel that “together you are strong!”. But not everyone can be part of this team.

The authors of the book “The Art of Retreating. How it helps in life, love and work” Peg Streep and Alan Bernstein (Minsk: Potpourri, 2014, translated from English by Yu.I. Gerasimchik) defy conventional stereotypes that make us fight to the bitter end and never give up. The authors argue that the ability to abandon the goal in time and leave is as valuable as dedication and perseverance. Using examples, they show how people who abandoned their goals in time, stopped trying to prove something, freed themselves from “tunnel vision” and gave up their fanatical dedication to the goal and perseverance in achieving it achieved success in life. When we stop fighting, we overload our minds and minds, give ourselves a break and are able to formulate new goals. Failure, followed by quitting and losing, often paralyzes us. Unable to give up their usual behavior — breaking into closed gates — people often find themselves in a vicious circle. They are accompanied by failures and disappointments. And, as a result, self-esteem falls and depression occurs. <br>
