general characteristics

A typical Capricorn child is a calm and obedient kid, with a sense of responsibility developed beyond his years. Capricorn children are not very prone to pampering and the usual childish whims, they do not like to upset their parents, so they try to behave approximately.

At school, Capricorn children are exemplary students, due to the fact that they are very diligent and diligent. Little Capricorn can sit out doing difficult homework for the whole evening, and will get up from the table only when he understands everything and does everything perfectly.

Character features

The Capricorn child tends to hide his feelings and emotions from others, and therefore from the outside it may seem that he is “impenetrable”. But this is a very misleading impression! Capricorn children are quite sensitive and impressionable, often suffering from painful shyness and timidity. They just prefer to keep their feelings to themselves and not show others.

In relations with other children, Capricorn children are rarely leaders and ringleaders. Usually, little Capricorn does not refuse to take part in children's games, he is happy to be friends and play with other children, but at the same time he has few close friends - only one or two. But the Capricorn child is very attached to his few friends and cherishes them. The most important thing for a Capricorn child in friendship is reliability.

Little Capricorns are very devoted friends, and they expect just that from others. Most of all, they are attracted as friends by quiet, serious guys - the same as themselves.

But, despite their quiet disposition, Capricorn children have a rather strong character, and therefore they can give a strong rebuff to those who try to command them. Little Capricorns almost never themselves act as instigators of conflicts, but they don’t give offense to other children, they always know how to stand up for themselves and put the offender in his place.

Capricorns are extremely hardworking and very early become mother's and father's helpers. In general, I must say, these children grow up quite quickly, often overtaking their peers in this. Therefore, little Capricorns do not cause much trouble to their parents: they will readily do everything that their mother asks - they will clean the apartment, go to the grocery store, and look after their younger brothers and sisters.

Intelligence

Studying is given to Capricorns without much difficulty, but not to say that it is very easy. The fact is that the little Capricorn needs a certain amount of time to understand the information received and learn it well. Therefore, Capricorn children are not very good at tasks that require ingenuity and speed. But if the Capricorn child is not rushed and given the opportunity to think carefully about the task, then for sure he will do an excellent job with it! It is precisely because of their slowness that the children of Capricorns are most often not excellent students, but solid good students.

Best of all, Capricorn children are given exact and natural sciences - mathematics, physics, chemistry. Many Capricorn children master these subjects so well that they even take first place in these subjects at school olympiads. Small Capricorns teach humanitarian subjects less willingly, although they are very responsible for their studies. Foreign languages are not given to Capricorns very easily, therefore, in order not to lag behind in these subjects, they should be given more time to study.

Interests

The range of interests of a typical Capricorn child is not very wide, but his interest is very thorough and deep. So, if a toy that he liked falls into the hands of a little Capricorn, he can play with it for hours. And the best toys for a little Capricorn are a designer or plasticine. Capricorn children love to build or sculpt something with their own hands, and if they have made some kind of craft, their parents should definitely praise them. Capricorn children never beg for praise and may even show indifference, but they secretly love her very much, as she will raise their self-esteem and help them believe in themselves.

Capricorn parents should know that their children feel alone with themselves no worse than in the company of other children. Little Capricorns are sociable, friendly children, but sometimes they like to be alone - read an interesting book, watch an exciting movie. And with pleasure they read not only children's books, but also serious literature - classics, poetry.

Capricorn children are very hardworking, they do not like to waste their free time without use, and they are happy to attend various circles where they can acquire useful knowledge and skills. A Capricorn boy can be enrolled in a young technician's circle, and a girl in a sewing or knitting circle.

Health

A typical Capricorn child is in good health and gets sick relatively rarely. Moreover, the older Capricorn becomes, the higher the body's resistance. But if the Capricorn child is already sick, it needs to be treated as soon as possible, since in Capricorns the acute stage of the disease can quickly turn into a chronic one. In early childhood, many Capricorn children suffer from tonsillitis, bronchitis, sinusitis, but gradually their immunity grows stronger and their health improves.

Most of all, in Capricorn children, the musculoskeletal system is vulnerable. Poor posture can lead to severe back pain. The negligence of Capricorn children is often the cause of bruises and bone fractures. For little Capricorn, in order not to get problems with teeth, it is advisable not to eat a lot of sweets and carefully care for the oral cavity. In adolescence, Capricorn children are often worried about youthful acne, which should be fought with the help of hygiene and proper nutrition.

To illustrate the article, a drawing by Yutaka Kagaya was used.

Some questions are focused on the intelligence of a child under 5 years old.

The main part of the questions is focused on the information basis. When a child is not familiar with an object or phenomenon, he gets into an impasse, and the conclusion about the preparedness of the child may not be in his favor ... This is an unofficial list, so other questions can be asked ...
* - questions that insure the identification of the child are marked.

When determining the level of development of the child, the psychoneurologist asks and evaluates the sociability ...
If the child is prepared, then he does not hesitate ... When moving from nursery to kindergarten, from kindergarten to school ... When referring to him as a specialist ... Gradually, children learn the world ...

Because a chicken can't fly! …That's the question! You might think that domestic geese fly. Those who kept domestic geese know how they clip their wings, and the chicken too ...

Is your child going to first grade in a couple of months? He is already so mature and independent. Soon he will begin to gnaw on science and absorb knowledge ... Many mothers are very worried whether the baby is ready for school, whether it will not be hard for him there. The issue of a child's readiness for school is very important, since the first impression of the school, and the subsequent desire or unwillingness to attend it, as well as success, depend on readiness. Experts (teachers and psychologists) will help you find out how ready your child is for school. At the same time, psychological readiness for school is a very important aspect, so you should not neglect it.

It is worth paying attention if the child cannot answer most of these questions. Perhaps he should study more, or maybe he does not understand what he is being asked, or perhaps he simply does not want to answer ... If only a few questions remain without the correct answer, then your 6-year-old has a broad outlook and has a fairly high erudition .

One of the most serious problems of modern society is the lack of communication within the family. According to recent studies, moms and dads spend no more than 10-15 minutes a day talking with their children. This not only alienates loved ones emotionally, but can also lead to severe psychological consequences for both parties. To prevent such problems, experts advise daily asking the kids certain questions, calling them to live communication.

Psychologists have developed many manuals for children and parents, some of which contain up to 32 mandatory items. However, in the hustle and bustle of everyday life, adults do not have the opportunity to complete all the necessary requirements on the list every day, and kids and teenagers quickly get tired of participating in tedious and ineffective surveys. To make your child more open and happy, it is enough to use only some of the most important points. Let’s take a look at five questions that are important to ask your child every day.

They can be divided into two groups:

Two questions to ask during the day in any order and at any time.
Three questions to ask your child every night, creating a real daily ritual.

1. "Are you happy?" Parents should not forget or be embarrassed to ask their child this question. When you ask a one-two-year-old baby if he is happy, the baby smiles and nods his head in response. At first, he does not think about the meaning of the question due to age, but, becoming older, he will try to understand what his mother means.

At three or four years old, a preschooler may respond that he is not entirely happy. In such cases, you need to ask what worries him or causes negative emotions. So the baby will learn to identify the state of happiness and understand what brings him to a good mood.

Why should this question be asked every day? Usually parents say that the most important thing in life is studying, or insistently tell their children what they should do. Then little people grow up and come to psychologists to figure out their lives, what they want, what they are worth and who they really are. So start asking the question "Are you happy?" already today.

At some point in time you will be surprised how accurately the child will begin to answer, calibrating the feeling and state of happiness within himself. Growing up, a young person will not allow himself to be unhappy: he will not go to an unloved job or engage in a business that does not inspire him. The future adult, by creating his own family or company and being in a positive emotional state, will be able to make everyone around him happy.

Ask "Are you happy?" you can right at the moment of awakening, in the middle or towards the end of the day, but this question should be on your list.

2. "Are you all right?". You can ask your son or daughter about the state of affairs at any time of the day. Situations are best suited for a conversation when the baby is sad or just thinking, this is necessary to establish contact. An adult takes the first step towards, and he should tune in that the child will not answer immediately, but over time the ritual will become a habit. The child will learn to be aware of his own experiences and will turn to loved ones to solve problems.

If the baby replies that he is not all right, then this is a good reason to start a confidential conversation. Nothing brings people together like shared values, conversations, and time spent together. Children will not always remain small, but every parent wants to have a good relationship with their child.

These questions show the kids that relatives are not only interested in them, but also respect personal boundaries. We do not guess, but simply wait for an answer and try to establish contact. The child sees and hears that adults want to participate in his life and feels significant. This is a lot and a little at the same time, because the minimum effort is expended, and the result is obvious.

The kid becomes more confident in himself, his importance and the family as a whole, where everyone takes care of each other. He takes a huge step forward for the development of internal culture, learns to interact with the people around him.

Suitable questions for the evening

The second group is called evening. These questions are needed to start a conversation before going to bed with a child to improve relationships, and help the younger generation get rid of the accumulated negativity and learn how to change something in their lives.

Evening questions:

"What was the best thing you did today?" Sometimes it is difficult for children to give a specific answer. They say that they liked everything, but this is not true. In this case, mom or dad should use their own example to tell their impressions of the day: meeting with a friend, successful completion of a project, delicious spaghetti. You show the kid how to answer correctly. For the first few days, he will only listen to your versions, but over time he will begin to actively participate in this dialogue. It is very good in the evenings. The adult says what filled him with joy and what was the most successful during the day. The child responds and learns to evaluate, rank the significance of events.
"What was your worst experience today?" A similar question where the parent asks about the negative side of the day. The child may also not respond and should lead by example by being honest about their own mistakes and emotions. Share with your son or daughter, because sincere feelings bring together, and a response will surely follow, if not this evening, then the next.
"What would you change if you could?" If the child is not ready to answer, then the adult should help him by his own example, as described above. The student will begin to think, analyze the day, and eventually believe in his abilities. The question “encodes” a growing person for the right to change life for the better.

Evening questions allow the child to get rid of stress, dream, talk heart to heart and fall asleep in a good mood. The ritual of daily communication fills with joy, close people share their experiences and experiences. There is nothing better for family relationships than a warm relationship with your relatives. Feel free to ask your children five questions: three in the evening and two during the day. The quality of life of the child will improve significantly, the amount of stress will decrease, the happiness and joy that he experiences every day will increase. He will correctly evaluate his life, the events in it and his strength.

In a heap of affairs and worries during the day, we, parents, do not always have enough time to listen to our child - to find out what he breathes, what he dreams about. This nightly tradition will allow you to see a lot of new things in children.

Before you tell your child: "I love you, good night!", ask one or two questions from the list - and you will definitely rediscover your child.
