Speaker A
I can't judge, but it really hurts inside. Don't get upset and immediately burst into tears. There's a problem, and it needs to be addressed.
Speaker A
How can you tell if your child has a real disability? Or is it just laziness?
Speaker A
What have you done to make sure your child is close to you? If your child started talking late, mixes up letters, reads slowly, or is a poor reader in general, is this a diagnosis or is it treatable? We'll discuss this today
Speaker A
with our speech therapist, a well-known neuropsychologist, Venera Balkibekova. And my first question for you: When a child is very young, it's hard to tell if they have a speech delay or if they're just babbling, thinking it's just temporary and will go away as they
Speaker A
grow older. Is it possible to see in an earlier article that future problems are possible or impossible?
Speaker A
Yes, it is. Generally, even during pregnancy, if there's a threat of miscarriage, the mother should already be aware of the potential consequences, and this can lead to a difficult birth. And, accordingly, when a child is born, almost all children have birth injuries.
Speaker A
Well, that means some are born with an umbilical cord entangled, yes, the mother pinches something somewhere.
Speaker A
Well, that means 99% of our children are born with these kinds of injuries. So, it all starts in the womb. Yes.
Speaker A
Yes. Yes. That means it starts quite early, and when the child is born, we look at whether the child cries or doesn't cry, and they check the baby's reflexes on the burn scale, that is, how they react. The
Speaker A
burn scale, well, they check the baby's reflexes, that is, when a child is born, they already have some unconditioned reflexes. And so they check to see if he doesn't react at all, yes, to anything. Then that's already, well,
Speaker A
well, that's difficult, right? And if the baby reacts well, well, I mean, they look at what kind of cry, did he cry right away, didn't cry, what kind of cry, right? And whether he was born blue, white, pink—that also applies,
Speaker A
right? The weight depends. If the baby was born heavy, yes, 4100, for example, that's also hypoxia. So, the mother took a lot of vitamins or something else happened, and the baby was born, accordingly, large, right? Or underweight, or born premature. Well,
Speaker A
well, I mean, there are a lot of factors. Okay, we've gone through that, we've looked, and then they look at how the baby sucks. Does he latch on sluggishly, doesn't latch on, right? Or chokes, cries all the time, doesn't cry,
Speaker A
is restless or, on the contrary, very calm. Well, I mean, let's go over all this in more detail. What are these signals? You've just said so much, but it's unclear which one is normal. What's the reason to worry, to start moving things, to
Speaker A
look for something? Well, if we take the period of life up to a year, yes, let's say, then we look at cooing and babbling. At 2-3 months, a child begins cooing. This means the child pronounces vowel sounds in a drawn-out manner. Ah,
Speaker A
oo, and already, yes, there's a complex of excitement when they see mom, dad, their arms and legs waving, right? So, this contentment is a strong reaction specifically to mom, and then to loved ones, there, to brothers, sisters, yes,
Speaker A
dad, yes, dad. And if this reaction is no longer present, the child also looks with his eyes, follows, yes, an object, a rattle, grabs it. So, these are factors that need to be considered.
Speaker A
Some children may just lie there and stare blankly, not displaying such vivid emotions, or their crying may be monotonous, well, monotonous.
Speaker A
When you notice any of these reasons—they're crying strangely, not responding to loved ones, not showing joy, or not saying anything—what do you do to the parent? What should you do? A consultation is a must. First, a neurologist—that's basically a
Speaker A
year-long, monthly observation, right? But a speech therapist is a must. A speech therapist. A speech therapist. A speech therapist.
Speaker A
Wow. So, you can start treating speech delays at a fairly early age and prevent them. And many, yes, problems.
Speaker A
In my practice, I have children who came at six months, even eight months. And you work with six-month-olds?
Speaker A
Yes. Yes. How can I work with them? The child can be nearby, simply observing, watching, sometimes repeating, sometimes not, but at the same time, their development will continue, yes, they will understand, and their pointing gesture will begin to appear. This pointing
Speaker A
gesture, by the way, is very important. It appears between 6:00 and a year. A pointer, yes. For some, it appears at 6 months, for others at 7, well, a year at the latest.
Speaker A
If it doesn't appear, this is already a signal, yes, that there will be speech problems. That is, even when a child is in your arms, when you carry a child, they are already showing: "I want to go there, I want to
Speaker A
go here." They give commands, I want this, I want that, they look out the window at a toy, at a dog.
Speaker A
If suddenly it appears outside, then immediately a signal. This is already a signal, yes. A pointing gesture. It's just like that.
Speaker A
But if this is a sign, you need to see a speech therapist, and he will, in principle, determine whether the problem is serious or not, and whether it can be cured, right? That is, in principle, it can be treated, right?
Speaker A
Yes. What percentage of what you just said is from birth to one year? These or other signs that appear, if suddenly our mother, such a smart, cool mother, sees certain speech problems or there is no goo, does not point with a finger or
Speaker A
does not say anything else, yes, poor babbling, yes, for example, it should be poor, mo-moo-moo, pu-pu-pu there, pa-pa, poor, the same type of just ma-ma-ma and that's it.
Speaker A
And poor speech, right? Yes. The poor one babble. Years, yes. So, first there is cooing, as we told you, 2-3 months, then somewhere around 5-6 months babbling appears. It should be rich, multifaceted. So, the baby is constantly babbling: "Hello,
Speaker A
honey, honey." Yes. Mom is watching; mom needs to communicate during this period. If it's a variety of words, yes, syllables. Well, babbling, yes, babbling should be varied. But if it's still just one type, or little, yes, or just
Speaker A
mommy-mommy there and not very often, then that's also a signal that something needs to be done. And with all these cases, when this occurs, and mothers are often unaware of it, what should you do? Run straight to a speech
Speaker A
therapist, get a consultation, yes, first a consultation, some tests, maybe additional ones, but with careful observation, it's already clear that there will be a speech delay, especially with understanding speech, if imitation, repeating pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, yes, some sounds there.
Speaker A
Usually, mom is like this, and he's already like this, too, well, I can say "a-goo." So, you have to actively confuse the child here, so they're actively repeating, so they're lively, so they're showing strong emotions.
Speaker A
I understood everything. Wow. Well, it's usually hard when the child is alone, and the mother wonders what's going on? Everything's happening now, we have automated technology, and it makes everything easier for young people. They just put the child in a
Speaker A
cradle, like this electronic one, hang the gadget on top, and yes, a phone, and that's it. And they're happy. The mother is there on business or she's sitting on the gadget herself, and the child seems busy and it's good that he
Speaker A
doesn't cry, and it's great. This is probably the worst of all evils, what can we do?
Speaker A
Tell me more about this, because when I see someone in a cafe, a restaurant, anywhere, giving a child a phone, I don't want to judge, but on the other hand, I understand how much they're doing this to their child now, and I
Speaker A
want to say, maybe they even know it, or maybe they're just so tired. I can't judge, but it really hurts inside and I've heard many cases where this happens. Tell me about all the aspects related to the
Speaker A
it's happening now in the modern world. What do you recommend, any life hacks, what shouldn't be done, and can you elaborate? I'll also say that what parents often do is put the phone on and start feeding. Yes , that's absolutely not allowed. What
Speaker A
happens? The baby switches off, there's this rapid frame change, the baby looks at it, they don't understand what's happening, the brain doesn't receive information, and they're being fed. So, here they can eat a lot or just a little and that's it. Well, most often,
Speaker A
a lot. So, they eat and eat and eat. Doesn't feel it, right? So, here the baby should be satiated, really enjoying the food, feeling all this is absolutely not allowed here. Or, like, when a baby is born, yes, this
Speaker A
electronic cradle. What's important here? Is that also harmful, right? It is harmful. What's important is that the mother herself, if she picks the baby up, rocks it, sings to it, what happens? Firstly, it's close to her body, secondly, it feels her breathing,
Speaker A
her heartbeat, it hears her voice, it feels her warmth, yes, it feels her pulse. Naturally, it adapts to this body and tries, looking eye to eye.
Speaker A
Mom's emotions, yes, she looks, she smiles at him there, yes, she tries to say something. And all this even influences speech, right?
Speaker A
Yes, it all influences speech development. So, the child doesn't need a phone. What's going on? A phone, if the child is sitting, well, lying like this and looking at you, he doesn't need anyone else. And dialogue is not needed, no
Speaker A
emotions, and then his development is limited. There are no such vivid emotions. Well, because as you grow up, that is, at what age can you give reon or none at all?
Speaker A
No, it's possible, but after two years, at least after two, when the child starts talking, phrasal speech occurs, but even that is limited. Some interesting cartoon. Mom should definitely think about what exactly she'll show. Some children's songs.
Speaker A
Some speech therapy chants are okay, well, literally 5-10 minutes. Completely without a TV is also impossible. The child sees in any case.
Speaker A
He sees everything around him, yes, phones. A complete ban on gadgets is also impossible.
Speaker A
Yes, it's impossible in any case. But show them, remove everything, they are there 24/7. And often parents also put on background music. Yes, dad watches football, turns it up full blast, the children run around, play, and now there are 24/7 channels, 24/7. This
Speaker A
depresses the nervous system. Can you imagine? The child sits, plays, he doesn't watch, but he gets tired of this constant noise, right? So, background noise is absolutely essential; a child should hear real sounds. Here we are, sitting here, the air conditioner is on
Speaker A
, we're talking, there's some rustling, a car passed by, and the child should listen to these noises. And the mother should explain: "Oh, look, a plane is flying past the dog. Do you hear the dog barking?" Oh, and then someone came
Speaker A
. Ding-ding. These are the exact things right? Yes. Because speech develops through hearing. And we need to directly activate the child's attention to this.
Speaker A
Good. Now a problem has already arisen. Unfortunately, the mother didn't know there were problems with gadgets, as all her friends and acquaintances do.
Speaker A
She has five children, she just doesn't have the time, and so on. Well, there are a million billion reasons. The husband left a million problems there.
Speaker A
So what to do? Yes, there's already been a case where you have a child from birth, or maybe from two years old, or a year old, or even six months old, and they've been using gadgets and now they
Speaker A
won't eat or do anything without them, and they're screaming. What should you do? Just take away the gadgets, right?
Speaker A
They'll cry at first, they'll resist, but they're little, their brain is flexible, and they'll quickly get used to mommy putting things away and paying attention.
Speaker A
If that doesn't work for hours, and you try to feed them, they scream and scream for hours. That means there's some kind of neurological issue, something more serious, and you should definitely consult a doctor. Absolutely . Uh.
Speaker A
And what if a serious illness has already developed? Well, gadgets, unfortunately, have damaged the nervous system, maybe even human development, even speech. What should you do? People are looking for the easy way out. The easy way is to show them gadgets again,
Speaker A
and they'll calm down again. The main thing is to eat. He's not afraid of being hungry.
Speaker A
Then you need to be more interesting than this gadget. Sing songs, pretend to be a monkey, pretend to be a dog. That is, be an actor, attract the child's attention.
Speaker A
Generally, a child doesn't need a gadget. But if we're watching a cartoon , we say, "Oh, look, there's a blue tractor going, oh, how it rumbles, cake-cake-cake." And the child will constantly look at mom and wait for her
Speaker A
to comment, because simply watching is boring. And when mom says, "There's a blue tractor, and look, what a cow there is." We went to grandma's there, remember, we saw a cow. Look, there's a cow like that too. So, there needs to
Speaker A
be a commentary, an analysis. That's what happens. Not all moms are such actors; they don't understand that this is important . Explain why it's important to be such an actor, why it's important to comment , why it's important to act like this,
Speaker A
what to do in families where they don't understand this? How can I explain to them why this is so important?
Speaker A
The consequences are that tomorrow the child will be severely delayed, they'll start talking later. They might not be accepted into school because they don't understand speech, don't speak, and are generally just that kind of child, yes, unemotional. And how will they
Speaker A
socialize in society? That is, they need to explain how important their role is in this life, in the child's life. The child's future, their future, depends on it. They want good offspring , yes, smart, healthy, so that they can
Speaker A
go to good schools, go to university, study languages. Everyone wants that. But at the same time, sometimes, especially when they have money, with their parents 'money, they want to overcompensate for this problem . That is, they created the problems
Speaker A
with gadgets, so to speak. Now they want to join some center. Venera is some kind of great professional, here's your money, solve the problems. Is that how it works? No. No, of course not.
Speaker A
Well, because we spend 45 minutes, well , 90 minutes at most. And he's at home with his parents 24 hours a day. Then at least hire a great nanny who will do all this. By the way, we have a lot of children who come to us
Speaker A
with great nannies. They are with the child 24/7. They communicate, they follow all our recommendations and communicate wonderfully with the parents. And everything is perfectly compensated, it can be solved, yes.
Speaker A
Well, if you have a good nanny with some kind of pedagogical education, yes , she can sing, she can distract the child, she can read a story, she walks the child, that is, she has a routine.
Speaker A
And yes, she also teaches the parents. But parents, have a conscience, come, these are your children. The children grow up wonderfully. It happens. Okay. Well, after all, a nanny is a nanny, a mother is a mother. Yes, yes. But at the same time, yes, they
Speaker A
shouldn't forget that the child is still closer to the mother, because then they start to get jealous. And why is the child closer to the nanny and not to me?
Speaker A
And what have you done to make the child close to you? Before you ask anything of a child, you need to invest in them. I don't argue that when a first child is born, it's very difficult, especially when the
Speaker A
older ones say, "Talk to him." And the parents say: "What am I going to talk about? He's so little, he's just appeared, right? But this is such a period of development up to 3 years, he's like a sponge. You need to invest
Speaker A
as many emotions as possible in a child , more reading. Then he will have such a large passive vocabulary. All this will come out. Everything that's in him .
Speaker A
That is, he, you hear, he doesn't even say:" He's silent, no, he grasps everything. "They also love to repeat 150 times, point their fingers. Yes, they are such people, they climb everywhere, crawl, open cabinets. Now our young parents
Speaker A
have started to close everything, block everything. Well, then you have to clean up after him. Cover the floors with something, forbid crawling, this is categorically impossible. But a child is just born, he develops, he learns through experience, and we,
Speaker A
imagine, block everything for him, and then we will complain:" He can't crawl, he can't do this, his brain hasn't developed yet, because hemispheric "No interaction, well, that's not possible.
Speaker A
" And yet they themselves have broken everything, without knowing it, for their own convenience, right? Yes. That is, the child should climb on the shelves in the kitchen with his mother, empty all the pots, open and close them, hear these sounds,
Speaker A
break something, right? Well, of course , put away the glass there so the child doesn't break it, but at the same time he should provide cereal, but under supervision, so the child doesn't swallow it.
Speaker A
He can also climb into the washing machine, he can even climb into the current. So, this is a sign of curiosity. We have children with autism , we, on the contrary, do everything to help him develop this. This is
Speaker A
cognitive interest, because usually they are not interested in anything, and we encourage him to ask me to open the cabinet, take out a toy and bring all this interaction to me. Grandma also likes to hide everything, because then she will have to clean up after it
Speaker A
. Yes, Yes, I'll have to clean at night, I don't know when, but I can't do without it. There's no other way. There's no other way.
Speaker A
There are families in which a child is born and doesn't speak or speaks little . They start thinking, "It's a gene, it's this, it's that, it's that." At what point should they really sound the alarm? And sometimes in a family, for
Speaker A
example, a child suddenly speaks Russian, although the whole family speaks Kazakh. Well, they have cartoons , there's someone in the family, I even heard in some region a child was born who spoke English from birth, and no one in the family speaks English at all
Speaker A
. The whole family had to learn English . I even know a very strong specialist in education whose youngest son also speaks purely English, although the rest of the family isn't very talkative . So all these nuances, with speech
Speaker A
that degenerates, are absolutely extraordinary with a completely different language. What causes it, how does it happen? Are cartoons not cartoons, or are there some factors?
Speaker A
You hear such things now, I'm sure this also happens, literally today a girl came to She speaks English, but there's no social interaction, no communication, no original speech, no motivation for speech. She understands speech; she's already 4.2 years old, but she speaks
Speaker A
English. She didn't speak it in front of me. Well, you know, speech is like some kind of proto-dialogue, something like that. But Mom says that if she needs to, she'll say, "I want to eat, I want to sleep," she'll say something
Speaker A
else, like, "bruise," yes, "ancheli," or something, yes, it's translated. That's it. So, Mom can hit these things . And yet, the family only speaks Kazakh through YouTube. Yes. So, what does this mean? The child has the opportunity to switch channels on their
Speaker A
own. Why is English so easy? I knew the rules there, yes, the grammar is much simpler than in Russian or Kazakh.
Speaker A
That's why the child most often uses English. As a rule, these cartoons are very interesting, very bright, so rich, so they watch songs. Cool, cool songs.
Speaker A
Visually, it's cool, yeah. Well, and then you need to check. If it's a severe disorder, yes, autism, then you need to look at tests, genetics, hearing tests, and definitely go to a neurologist. Well, that is, there's a whole range of examinations.
Speaker A
That is, it happens. And this is often from cartoons, from something else. And this is cheating, right? Either in a family with several children, for example, the children speak Russian, but the parents only speak Kazakh, or in the yard in Russian
Speaker A
, and the child often goes out into the yard, and he slips into Russian, but not Kazakh. Well, he understands, but he stubbornly refuses to use Kazakh.
Speaker A
And such things happen. Or when parents come: "We want to speak Russian, but the child has always heard Kazakh speech; his grandmother used to read everything to him." I say: "When he starts talking, then we'll figure out what language to start working in there
Speaker A
, for example, in Russian and he in Kazakh.""It's rare, but it does happen. Or vice versa, in Russian, and we evoke speech in Kazakh. Why? Because what's accumulated passively is what comes out .
Speaker A
That is, after all, it's been passively accumulated since birth. So, passively, that's what comes out.
Speaker A
Yes, what he hears. Here's what Chernigovskaya says:" You can't, don't look at anything. "Don't clutter your brain with all this nonsense." Look, even adults, even we listen to something in our sleep, it's not that simple. The brain grasps everything,
Speaker A
even at our age, yes, as an adult, and even more so as a child. What we sow is what we reap. Do you want fairy tales?
Speaker A
Fairy tales will grow. Speech will be beautiful, smooth, so emotional. On beautiful, classical poems, there at 4, 5-6 years old, you can easily learn Essen, Tyuchev, Pushkin perfectly-this is a good rhyme and children learn it with a bang, without forcing them to
Speaker A
study at home, just with gestures during physical education. We said one poem for 5 minutes, the next we repeated a new poem. And so in a year he, well, 25-30 poems at a time, you could say. That's how powerful the
Speaker A
memory is. And this is the age of 5-6 years old, and up to 3 years old it's even more powerful.
Speaker A
That is, say, if I only speak Kazakh in my family from birth, I'll try to ensure that cartoons are only in Kazakh . Russian shouldn't appear, or it will. Look, when there are no difficulties, he was born well, there
Speaker A
is no delay, he spoke on time. You can speak three to five languages, he will speak them all fluently. But there is one rule: one person, one language. For example, mom and dad only speak Kazakh, and grandma, for example, Russian.
Speaker A
Usually it's the other way around. Well , for example, I say, there's an uncle who only speaks English, he can, in principle, grasp three or four languages, if everything is normal with his development.
Speaker A
Yeah. That's it. And if not, then there will be difficulties, yes, this bilingualism, then he will start to confuse. Almadai, yes, that's it, yes, the endings are not finished.
Speaker A
And if a person has one language, then, in principle, he won't, he ties one language to this person.
Speaker A
You know, children are so smart, they Three-year-olds, for example, if an adult comes to them in English, they'll only speak English with them.
Speaker A
Take the Filipina nanny, she'll only speak English with him. She only speaks Russian with her mother, and Zhenya came only in Kazakh because she knows, they clearly distinguish between the two.
Speaker A
You raised a great point about the Filipina. A Filipina nanny is the fashion of our times in Almaty, Astana, I don't know, all the specific ones, yes, a lot of people are cheap and cheerful there. Well, how about girls?
Speaker A
Well, yes, the prices have more or less leveled out with our Kazakh nannies, and at least they speak English. And people are starting to think that if I hire such a nanny now, then the child will be able to say in English from
Speaker A
birth: "This is cool, this is cool, this is fashionable, this is modern, this saves me huge expenses." Then learn English.
Speaker A
Is this true or is it harmful? Tell me more. It's even harmful, let's say. If it's from an early age.
Speaker A
Tell me, why? If after two or three years, I say again, if there are no problems, the child speaks, please, but if the child doesn't speak yet, there are problems, then he gets confused and will have a speech delay.
Speaker A
Wow. Yes, because he hears Kazakh, and he hears Russian, and English, which the Filipina speaks, who doesn't speak pure English, yes, she's illiterate. Still, the language is coming through and you can hear such a non-native accent. The child grasps it all, you understand?
Speaker A
And they, he feels these nuances and these notes all. I have a relative, she has five daughters. And now the sixth boy was born. They were born, finally. The sixth boy. That's it. Well, they spoiled him, of course, from birth, of
Speaker A
course, we did everything he wanted, bought him. Dad and Mom were at work. They, the child's speech did not develop, did not develop at all, and as a result, did not speak at all. And when he began to speak, he speaks, he
Speaker A
began in Russian, although the whole family speaks Kazakh. And they are so happy that at least in Russian, well, at least somehow they managed to speak, yes. There is another family, also relatives, they also speak at least Russian, well, the main thing is that
Speaker A
they can speak. Yeah. Is this the right strategy to at least somehow make it work, or do you still have to try?
Speaker A
You have to try. Well, I'm saying to get something out of the child. And what did you do to make him talk? What did you put into him if you didn't talk to him, didn't sing songs, didn't sing lullabies, didn't
Speaker A
rock him, didn't comment on anything? Here, I wash my hands with soap, look how clean it is. Well, not all the time like a radio, right? And pauses sometimes, that short, yes, make sentences. Here's a bird. Pause. Bird chirp-chirp. Yes.
Speaker A
Or here's water. Water. Gurgle-gurgle-gurgle. Pauses. That's what our grandmother loves endlessly. That's generally will pass by in the background. That is, to invest. If you speak broken English, the child will start speaking broken English to you.
Speaker A
If you speak beautiful Russian, it will be beautiful Russian. If you speak literary Kazakh, the child will speak.
Speaker A
Oh, and the words baya, yes, he will already say. That is, it is real, yes, words, yes. If you read at 3 years old, well, at 2 years old, start earlier, even if he doesn’t say the word obaya, he
Speaker A
will say the word baya. Why not, if this is a smart, intelligent child. But if you also explain, then he will start asking in more detail, and that’s cool. And there should be these questions: why, why, how, why is it
Speaker A
raining. Usually this happens at 3 years old, but from 3 to 5 years old, yes, the little why arises. Little whys happen, yes.
Speaker A
But more often than not, we notice it late, after 5 years they start. Why?
Speaker A
And we should do this, and we should stimulate it ourselves, we They should ask themselves. Dad went to work, why earn money? And Mom is there washing clothes. Why? Everything is dirty. Well , I mean, you have to explain it to the
Speaker A
child. He's just appeared, he's only growing up. And we don't do that. We think he should know this by default. And we don't have the time, we don't have the energy.
Speaker A
Yes. Yes, let him speak himself. That won't happen. Whatever language you put in, that's what it will be. Put in a rich one. Poetry, yes. There's meaning, where there's a plot. It's not just, yes, you tell stories, speak in
Speaker A
different voices. You'll get this, because it's pleasure, his ears are trained. This is Kolobok singing a song , this is the sly fox coming, and this is the wolf, and this is the sweet bear . This is so important for a child,
Speaker A
yes. So, when we sometimes fool around with children, playing all these things , it turns out that it's not just a game, it's a whole science. Yes.
Speaker A
Yes. Usually parents do this intuitively, yes, because nature gives it to us. It's blocked, and some are lazy and gadgets get in the way. Work is a plus, yes, but it's necessary, there's no time, and so on. I'm tired of being on the
Speaker A
phone, on the computer. I always say, if you're so tired now, and time flies by, and tomorrow we can't. There's a sensitive period of speech development, when the brain's organs are very flexible, like a sponge . Usually, speech development occurs
Speaker A
from one to five years old. They're stormy, active, but it's advisable to lay everything down right in the early stages, before age three. If a child doesn't say phrases by age two, it's time to sound the alarm. By age one,
Speaker A
they don't say at least five words, and sometimes, in practice, they say 50 words. It happens at 10 months, five words, even 50 words. Yes, read what words they say and count the number, if it's less than the maximum.
Speaker A
Well, at least five, yes, if at least five. Mom, dad, nanny, aunt, give . Well, these are also words of onomatopoeia. Mu. Avav tomateme. These are already considered words, Yes?
Speaker A
And then we work on the predicate with verbs. Well, the more verbs sit, crawl, sleep, play, the more, well, the phrase will appear, because it already has meaning. It's not just who, but what does it do. And we, parents, should
Speaker A
always ask questions. Both we and the parents, who is doing what, and then why, for what, how, where, for what, from what. All these questions are needed to launch logic, so that later mathematics goes well, yes, Russian language, literature, Kazakh, English.
Speaker A
It turns out that mathematics begins then, when questions, right? Wow. Mother is good. Many children suffer from dyslexia and dysgraphia. How can you tell if a child has a real disorder or if they're just lazy and having fun?
Speaker A
For example, I would write poorly. I wrote beautifully, but my writing was very crooked. Everyone said that I was left-handed. Maybe I was lazy, I was lazy. I didn't always speak perfectly well either. Now I'm also talking about
Speaker A
crooked braids. Is this laziness or is it actually a disease? You need to run to a cancer specialist and look at them, analyze their mistakes.
Speaker A
It's possible for a child to have good intelligence, but have ADHD, that is, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. He grasps everything instantly, he remembers a lot of information just by listening. You tell him something interesting, he grasps it and can come to you. And he doesn't
Speaker A
even look at you, he'll tell you everything. I had a child like that, he sat under the desk for about three, no, even for a long time. He was only three years old. He didn't go out with us at
Speaker A
all, didn't participate, but then he recited all the poems. I was surprised myself. What a child he is. High intelligence, the composition of numbers is very fast. You can't imagine it on your hands like this, you say 5 +
Speaker A
3, he's three years old. But at the same time, it's hard to actualize his attention. But tell him the rules. It's not just him, yes, he's older now.
Speaker A
Let's take a kid at school. He's smart, he catches on quickly, but he can't sit at the table. He's always squeezing someone, but at the same time, he's a smart kid, he can't sit still. He gets bad grades, naturally, and his
Speaker A
handwriting is bad. He manages to offend everyone around him in 45 minutes. Everyone is shocked by him.
Speaker A
You have to watch this. He can know the rules and write them incorrectly. And when you emphasize them, what's the rule? He tells you and corrects them.
Speaker A
That's not discography, that's attention deficit. So, he knows. But if it's a persistent error, that means he doesn't even know the rules and writes like that. You teach him, you tell him, but it just doesn't work. You explain this rule a
Speaker A
hundred times, but he'll still write milk, for example, yes, instead of milk. And that's already an anomaly, yes. Well, let's say the problem is discography. You definitely need to go and get advice.
Speaker A
And is this a solvable problem, or if it really is true dysgraphia, yes, what? A child, first of all, is, you know, making such persistent mistakes, like you sit and sit and sit and sit.
Speaker A
There are different types, they just mix up letters, write in mirror image. But this is also normal at 6 years old, when a child writes like this at first, and then you correct them a few times, and that's it, they'll write correctly.
Speaker A
This is no longer considered dysgraphia . But if you're already drawing a woodpecker, like when the capital letter has a beak, like this, and a squirrel, like this, with its tail up, and this just doesn't get learned for a
Speaker A
long, long time, then that's dysgraphia . So, you need to pay close attention and work with such children in a special way. Or they read poorly. They don't see the line, yes, they quickly jump from line to line, the letters
Speaker A
float around for them. You know, they read so amazingly, they can tell the meaning, but still read the text incorrectly. But it takes so much effort from them. To me A girl came here, she was studying abroad in
Speaker A
Belgium. She asked for a certificate, so that I could get it to prove that she really is dyslexic, so that they would give her some leeway at the university. That's absolutely right.
Speaker A
You know, she was the only person who asked. In Kazakhstan, no one came to that. Basically, it remains a person for life, right? It turns out, right? Their brain works a little differently, but at the same time, it's
Speaker A
a good intellect. It's good when there's a good intellect. They are visual, they are usually very smart.
Speaker A
They are smart, they think in images. If we see letters directly, but they see the images behind them, like 3D for them right away.
Speaker A
That's why it's difficult for them. It's difficult for them. That's why they analyze. That is, our left hemisphere works more. We have this reading, yes, fast fluency. And they have the right, and they look at this problem from all sides and create
Speaker A
something interesting. You know, I heard, at least from one parent, well, an interesting family A family, a really cool family, really smart, a brilliant mother, a dad , and two sons. And they studied with us. And they said that there aren't
Speaker A
many people in the world, percentage-wise, who see 3D thoughts like that, yes, but if you take the biggest billionaires in the world, it's them. It's them, yes. The lion's share of these billionaires, the world's billionaires, it's because they think differently and
Speaker A
look at problems from all angles, right ? That is, they look at the world completely differently, they look at things, at business, at people, right?
Speaker A
Yes. They look at it completely differently. They have unconventional, so to speak, thinking, but that's if they're purely like that, right? But if you take those with mental retardation, mental retardation, there are, of course, other problems, yes, in a different way. And when you
Speaker A
identify them, it's very difficult to develop them, because not everyone understands this, how to do it. But they can be taught, they can be developed, you just need to do it differently.
Speaker A
They compensate, their They train them, they compensate. That is, you can't demand, for example, if it's in class, to read aloud in front of everyone, because it's shameful for them, because they can retell it, but they'll read it
Speaker A
in such a way that it's difficult, it's about self-esteem, well, it kind of falls on the child. Or give them more time. There are nuances. Well, it's better to go to a speech therapist or ask for a piece of paper. So you go,
Speaker A
get checked, do you have any problems, yes, and the speech therapist will write direct recommendations on what to do. Well, specifically in relation to this child. And then what do we, a regular speech therapist, write: medications or some approaches or what?
Speaker A
No. Yes, he writes recommendations, methodological techniques, how to work with this child individually, give some tasks, spend more time on this, yes, after school, for example, leave something separately, give something else. Well, that is, such things, don't demand the same as with all children.
Speaker A
These things happen because the child was born this way, Are these genes or is it because of cartoons and gadgets?
Speaker A
Heredity plays a big role. Well, how can I put it, a child isn't born, but he's predisposed. His brain structure is the same. Yes, he's predisposed, yes, and he can develop it strongly or not at all, yeah, something
Speaker A
like that. It depends on what kind of education he gets. Plus, there's this newfangled trend right now, but relatively newfangled, of primitive reflexes. A child is born with reflexes so that his brain develops, he makes different movements. What does he do? He starts
Speaker A
moving his arms and legs, then he starts moving his body to roll over, right? Then he rolls over, now he moves his legs and arms back, so that, yeah, in the other direction, to start sitting, he makes some other movements.
Speaker A
Well, that is, gradually, gradually. And all these movements are important. He must go through these stages because that's how the brain matures. Based on some reflexes, other reflexes appear.
Speaker A
Some are extinguished, others appear- walking, running and everything that is already built on These primitive ones.
Speaker A
And so, if we take these primitive ones as primitive reflexes, for example, yes, for example, the paralyzing fear reflex , this is already formed in the baby's womb when the mother is scared. What happens? The baby freezes there. Well,
Speaker A
the mother is walking along there pregnant, the dog suddenly jumps out, she gets scared.
Speaker A
What does the baby do? To survive in this world? The baby freezes. The paralyzing fear reflex. It happens that a child gets stuck on this reflex, and then the Maro reflex appears. When a baby is born, what does it do? It drops
Speaker A
its arms and legs, yes, and takes its first breath. And when it experiences injuries, a tight umbilical cord entanglement, yes, there is oxygen deprivation and so on, as a result of which this reflex, you see, no longer develops.
Speaker A
And we need, on the contrary, to ensure that it develops, survives, and on this basis another reflex appears. The labyrinthine-tonic reflex is also responsible for our Tonus. Our tonus means, for example, you sit up straight , yes, at the table, and sometimes
Speaker A
children lie in pairs, yes, a lot of them are lying down. Yes, yes. And what does this tonus mean? It means the vestibular system is suffering. And the vestibular system is based on this LTR.
Speaker A
Therefore, there are special exercises that can be used for diagnostics, to check this reflex, whether it is developed or not, the anterior and posterior ones. Then you can correct some exercises and improve the child's essay, arithmetic, and writing skills,
Speaker A
please. So, this is the basis, wow. Where does the basis come from that influences simply...Yes, there are already American studies, namely the asymmetrical cervical tonic reflex.
Speaker A
This is the fencing pose, right? The child turns his head to one side and bends, yes, like this, one knee to the other. This is the fencing pose. It should fade away in due time, appear and fade away. If it doesn't fade away,
Speaker A
then the child can't even ride a bike normally, because here you need to Turn your head and look at it at the same time, but he might be pulled to one side. So, all these reflexes must be experienced
Speaker A
by a person. And if they are not experienced for some reason, starting in the womb and ending with other processes, then this is all about inhibition of the problem. But as soon as work on the reflex, he sees great
Speaker A
changes. So the cortex and forehead become larger. This is when he sits there writing letters, dictations, doing some complex tasks on visual gnosis, finding the same thing, and so on. There is no foundation. He can't create this foundation. You can sit for
Speaker A
years, but the results will be so small . But if we worked on the reflexes, his LTR also became good, he started sitting at the table, right? And also from the DVT-this is the spinal Galant reflex. That is, as soon as the child
Speaker A
sits down on a chair, what happens? He touches the chair. That's it, and he can't. He starts sitting like this. He has this ache in his ass, yes, they say , in your It was a pain. That's it. And
Speaker A
we can work on that. It's just that the reflexes aren't developed yet, yes. And that's how mothers and literate mothers can be sure in each year whether a child has lived through that reflex in that period of life or
Speaker A
not. Is there some kind of checklist for that or not? Yes. I published a book, by the way, on launching speech through primitive reflexes. There's a really good table in the back. Well, naturally, yes, it's all based on already, yes, developed
Speaker A
reflexes. They've been around for a long time. Can I buy it? You can buy it, yes, take a look.
Speaker A
We'll attach a link now so you can buy yours. Yes, the bear is gorgeous, really. As a practitioner, I say, it contains all the foundations you need for work. As soon as several practitioners have given feedback, as soon as we work, we
Speaker A
have such a good explosion here. In principle, having read this book in the womb, when you're just getting ready to be born, or in general, you can, even now, if these little ones, you can understand everything.
Speaker A
There are symptoms in it Each reflex has many symptoms. And now you're sitting here, doing one exercise, the child sits perfectly, then wow, one or two, yes.
Speaker A
It's not a miracle, in short, it's not a miracle, it's just reflexes. There are more and more unusual children now for various reasons, including gadgets, including different families, large families, where not all children receive the same attention, strength, and so on. And so,
Speaker A
unfortunately, it's difficult for teachers. Here's a young teacher listening to us. What advice would you give this young teacher? How to distinguish these things? Will it be ADHD or is it still just disleti discography, inattention? How can you
Speaker A
differentiate them? You need to observe carefully and ideally write a character reference for this child, right? If there is ADHD, the teacher understands that he is smart, that he grasps, that he retells, that he memorizes quickly, yes, he
Speaker A
doesn't even need reinforcement, but at the same time he writes dictation with mistakes and behaves badly. During class.
Speaker A
I was like, "Uh-huh." Yeah. That's more like ADHD. And then you need to work on these reflexes, and then it's because children with ADHD are prone to depression in the future. Uh-huh. What do we have? It's not a fact that it
Speaker A
will happen, but there's no predisposition, yes, because in our age with gadgets and all the influence, you understand, our time is different, yes, our time is different, here it's completely different. That's why they're more prone to this when
Speaker A
teachers scold them. Especially at school, there are these planning meetings, assemblies in year-old schools, especially in state schools. What does a parent do? A parent comes home and starts scolding their child. We need to figure out why they're doing this. What's the reason?
Speaker A
Their brain doesn't allow it, their reflexes don't allow it. What? What's stopping them? And help, just talk to the child: "Why are you behaving like this? And why are you making mistakes?
Speaker A
Do you have poor eyesight or is it hard for you? What? Just sit down, talk, don't scold." And a teacher shouldn't say in public, "Your child is such a jerk." Well, that's absolutely not allowed. It's unethical, right?
Speaker A
It's unethical. Call them separately and talk to the parent. Here are the problems, show them the notebooks, look at how they behave at home. That's why I say a good conversation is necessary. And based on this, write a characterization, say: "
Speaker A
Let's go see a specialist, a neurologist, a speech therapist, a neuropsychologist, they'll look at your data, and then they'll conduct additional testing and prescribe correction." So the most important thing is, I shouldn't be afraid of this. First of
Speaker A
all, there's no need...oh, some people don't want to admit the existence of certain deviations or difficulties and are afraid to even go to, well, to hear from the doctor that this is how he is, this is how he is, and they simply
Speaker A
avoid it. It's advisable to go straight to a specialist, yes, it's better to go to a good specialist, one who's strong and experienced enough to find out if you're not satisfied. Go to two or three, yes, so you don't get upset and
Speaker A
immediately burst into tears. There's a problem, you need to solve it. It's too late to cry, everything can be solved.
Speaker A
Even difficult children with autism, who, it would seem, are just that, showing great results, can also do so.
Speaker A
Finding an approach, searching for an approach—that's your goal and task. That is, don't argue, don't get upset, don't run away from it . Okay. But is there a fact that, especially parents, blame themselves? I had dyslexia. Is it genetically
Speaker A
transmitted, right? What exactly is genetically transmitted ? Dyslexia, right? Yes, it is. And there is a genetic predisposition. Well , everything else is there, too. If autism is genetic, yes, it's there at the level. If there are syndromes, long-standing syndromes
Speaker A
are also genetic, but there are also simple birth injuries, hypoxia, which can lead to autistic behavior. Well, there's a lot there, yes, if you dig deeper. If there's mental retardation, then, of course, there's a limit; we can't invest any more. There's a
Speaker A
certain limit. That is, how much you invest is how much you invest, and then you have to be very careful about what exactly you invest. A child with mental retardation can be helped, but again, it depends on the severity. Milder ones
Speaker A
, all of that can be resolved. So, if you see or hear that a parent has, well , a child with dysflexion or discography, well, you discovered this at age 2, 3, or 5, or at an older age,
Speaker A
in elementary school. Does this mean the child needs some kind of special environment? They absolutely need to go to a private school; a private school is unlikely to be able to provide this.
Speaker A
Or is that not necessarily true? What kind of child is there who started talking late?
Speaker A
Well, for example, maybe they started talking late, or have problems with writing in general.
Speaker A
Well, of course, it's better in a private school, yes. It's an individual approach, it's the small class size, it's the strong teachers. And all parents try to get into private schools , of course, but there are public schools, especially
Speaker A
elementary schools, that provide a solid foundation. Well, in principle, you can find something in public schools. It's possible. It depends on the teacher.
Speaker A
Yeah. And it's not just about finding a school; you need to find a good teacher.
Speaker A
Yes. And how do you know if this teacher is knowledgeable or not? You'll see how they talk about your child, in what tone, what mistakes they clearly point out. Will they humiliate you, or will they respectfully and patiently
Speaker A
say, "Let's help, otherwise it will be difficult for the child." Well, you already feel it on an intuitive level.
Speaker A
Or will they be harsh and immediate? Yes, you feel it on a physical level, right? The parent themselves takes it away, because they're already starting to understand it. If you can immediately tell that the teacher says, "This is inconvenient for me, pack it
Speaker A
up." So, because they'll be bullied, bullied in class. It's dangerous. What are the consequences?
Speaker A
An elementary school teacher, for example, doesn't understand these specifics and starts bullying them. What consequences have you heard about or seen in practice?
Speaker A
The child doesn't want to go to school. The parents have a nervous breakdown, they run to specialists, they come to us, who, yes, these are children, if they graduated with such tears, crocodiles, they experience a lot of negativity, a
Speaker A
lot of stress. They usually take the child out of school and run around to other schools, or they formalize some kind of fictitious education.
Speaker A
It's hard, right? Yes, it's hard. Although you warn them, you warn them that it's difficult, for example, this child is difficult, it will be difficult to sit there. What's better there: individual or frequent? Do you need to hire a nanny or some kind of
Speaker A
curator to be with your child at school ? Tutter, tutter. You need to, yes, hire someone yourself, or the school provided one, or a private school. The conditions are different everywhere.
Speaker A
Basically, schools, if they allow it, let parents look for a good tutor themselves. And where can you find one?
Speaker A
There are private courses now that train them. Yeah. And from there, yes, you have to search online. Yeah, I can't say for sure. Well, in principle, you can even dig up some, I think they've even started producing them at
Speaker A
the state level now. You have to look. If you find some tutors, hire them to help with your child, right? That is, they don't do everything for them, they help them, they give them time to do it themselves
Speaker A
. Well, they give them a little push, you don't have to do everything for them, just help.
Speaker A
How do you evaluate such children at school? You can't give grades, but they're just like you, they're just like you, with the same emotions. Praise is a must. So, no matter what, if you see a strong point, praise them, hug them, if
Speaker A
necessary. If you're in elementary school, yes, that is, and children are very sensitive, even if you haven't said anything yet, but have already approached them, and they're super sensitive, they immediately understand what you're going to say or what you
Speaker A
mean. So it's better not to give grades here, or let them write with a pencil.
Speaker A
Then you can give them the opportunity to erase and correct it. Not with red ink. That's it, yes. Red ink is such a blow to a child's pride.
Speaker A
Yeah. So, give them the opportunity that it's all fixable. They can fix it, they can erase it, and that's it, and you already have a good grade, guaranteed.
Speaker A
But still, pointing out mistakes is useful. Let them learn, like everyone else anyway, yes, you made a mistake here.
Speaker A
Look, you found it. Well done, clever girl. Let's fix it, okay? Oh, you fixed it, clever girl. Now look, you've fixed everything. Okay, now it's time to leave, don't go to the extreme where everything is perfect without judgment.
Speaker A
No. And when he's already corrected everything, and it took him a lot of effort, then he gets an A, right? That's when he also doesn't like these fake grades, yeah, that just doesn't happen, it has to happen. Yeah,
Speaker A
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Otherwise, he'll feel like, of course, he understands everything, he's giving me grades because I'm special and that's it. In short, yeah, just give him the opportunity to correct it and that's it, nothing more.
Speaker A
Well, in relation to any other kids. He just has more time, more time, more, yeah, repeating it more often. If the child doesn't understand, it means the teacher explained it wrong. They give Fs, but they're not giving the child a F,
Speaker A
they're giving themselves a F. It's easier to explain to an A student, a top student, but try to a C or a D student. Explain the material in a way that he'll learn. He will. If you tell it well and show it, and draw it, and
Speaker A
show pictures, yes, he'll learn it and become an A student. So, I understand, digging deep within yourself is very difficult, but they're not just for fun; they're given to help you become even better. There are three key pieces of advice for parents, mom and
Speaker A
dad, in the womb, in the first year, the first five years, and in elementary school. Here's what they should do to: a) diagnose this issue, b) start working on it, b) not be afraid, b) learn, c) be like everyone else. And
Speaker A
there are some tips, life hacks for different periods, yes, but during this time, firstly, the child must be wanted, planned—yes, that's the most important rule, yes, that's the most important thing. A child must be born in love. A child
Speaker A
must be wanted if the mother is already preparing for the birth, that is, listening to classical music, yes. Well , the most common advice is: get some fresh air, eat a balanced diet, don't overload your body with vitamins, don't
Speaker A
self-medicate, but see a nutritionist. Yes, it's very fashionable now, but it's also very helpful to get all your tests done, listen to music, be in a good mood, don't be afraid of birth— in other words, prepare for birth. Then
Speaker A
, after the baby is born, if suddenly, well, it already happened, some kind of injury, don't panic. While the baby is small and flexible, especially before a year, such things can be done. Up until age three, an osteopath is essential,
Speaker A
if they can correct it. Yes, and even the shape of the head changes because the bones are fragile. Massages are essential, and a checkup with a pediatrician is essential, as well as a good neurologist who will monitor and
Speaker A
observe reflexes. The child should coo at the right time, babble at the right time, imitate mom, look into the eyes.
Speaker A
That's what this revitalization complex is all about. So, be attentive to your child, communicate. If they're completely unable to communicate, just take the child, get down to their level , and think about how they'd feel better in their situation. That's it,
Speaker A
nothing more is needed, no need to deal with the child, just get down to their level and that's it. And enjoy life.
Speaker A
It's essential to offer, well, breastfeeding—that's certainly not up for discussion. The longer the breastfeeding, the better. No, no, up to a year at most. At six months, solids already begin. And don't be afraid when the child chokes; give them
Speaker A
food. They need to gain this experience . They should choke a little, even burp a little, but they should already be chewing their food to prepare their articulatory muscles for beautiful speech, yes, to speak. That's it, the child won't swallow, they'll spit
Speaker A
everything up, they won't chew. What kind of speech can we even talk about? Yeah, yeah. Then you have to monitor the stages of physical development, making sure he sits up on time.
Speaker A
Grandmothers used to teach us to sit our babies up on pillows at six months.
Speaker A
Now it's a bit later, yes, closer to eight months, a baby can already sit on his own. Then the baby starts crawling, first on his back, then on all fours, then he stands, and by a year, he should be walking and saying at least
Speaker A
five words. So, you have to pay close attention to that. Well, you definitely have to remember to sing lullabies, and definitely read stories. Mom has an intuitive feel for that. I can recite this story now, these short ones, of
Speaker A
course, stories at first, yes, about Ryaba the Hen. And if you act it out after a year, just take an egg and crack it, that would be pure genius.
Speaker A
And let him knead the shell with his hands and smear it all over himself through the yolk. Blood is absolutely fantastic. Even he experiences tactile experiences; he understands the meaning of a fairy tale by listening to the red
Speaker A
sound. Yes, a chair creaked there, but the child doesn't know. This is what needs to be emphasized. This is already summed up, so that he can hear together: "What is that?" And yes, he just goes like this with his
Speaker A
ears: "What is that? Do you hear? Uh-huh. There, Uh-huh." And mom simply says: "A car, a plane, and then thump-thump-thump, and there comes a pounding, look.
Speaker A
Drip-drip-drip. Oh, thunder! Bang! Scary, right? No big deal, it will pass soon, right? Well, you just need to explain to a child, both in a whisper and loudly, and in different intonations. And don't forget that time passes very quickly before a year,
Speaker A
before 3 years. It just vanishes, and then you sit there kicking yourself, wondering why I didn't do this, why I didn't look at that, why I listened, why I was lazy here. It's already hard, the child's intelligence will be
Speaker A
completely different. Or it can be prevented, for example, a child was born with a hematoma and we already know that mental retardation is possible. And we worked on him at 40 days, he came home, we just did bioxtic
Speaker A
correction, without even classes. Dad did a little exercise there, yes, sensory integration. That's it, we straightened the baby out, he started talking ahead of time, you know? And then children come to her, they have this in their medical history, can you
Speaker A
imagine? Then you absolutely can't get chickenpox. Acute respiratory infections are also kind of scary, so you need to boost your immunity and lead a healthy lifestyle.
Speaker A
And anyway, the example we set for the child is what the child receives. We say," You can't use the phone, "while we're sitting there. Of course, he'll repeat it. Phrases should be coming at two years old. Well, at one year and
Speaker A
eight years or so. Things like," Mom, give me something, let's go for a walk, I'm hungry, "and so on. At two years old, well, a year and a half to two years old, these phrases come out. And then there's the active accumulation of
Speaker A
vocabulary. By three years old, the child already speaks, yes, poems, tells stories, asks questions:" Why, why, how , for what, from what, explain, don't get tired, how you're driving me crazy.
Speaker A
This is so that you don't have to buy encyclopedias if you don't have enough knowledge, just show and tell. Now, fortunately, you can print out a lot of books online and instruct them. "That's when gadgets are useful. And if we're
Speaker A
watching a cartoon, we can comment, tell stories, have a dialogue. We watched it, turned it off. And who were we watching it about? Do you have a toy like that? Yes, I do. An ear. Did it fall out of a cartoon? Well, I mean,
Speaker A
let's play like in the cartoon. We played out this story. At school, if all these stages are already well-covered, then there will be no problems.
Speaker A
And if there are problems, then if there are, it doesn't mean there are . Look, if there is a speech delay, it will not be without consequences. Even if the child starts talking, but at three, four, or five, there will be
Speaker A
consequences at school. This means we need to work on reflexes, we need to conduct a good diagnosis and find out where the gaps are. These gaps can easily be filled.
Speaker A
This is not scary, everything can be corrected by the age of 18. It is scary. Well, the brain is plastic throughout life, of course, let's not wait, yes, if you want a smart, gifted child, then, of course, the sooner you
Speaker A
do, yes, you need to help at school. And those with speech delays, they usually need a tutor to support them later in school.
Speaker A
Mom should definitely not do this, she'll get on edge, she'll yell, scream , squeal, scold, and the father can't stand it either. But if a tutor comes, a good tutor, they'll definitely support sports, any sport the child needs. The child
Speaker A
won't choose it themselves; it needs to be chosen and taught systematically. A musical instrument, playing any musical instrument, not for the sake of becoming a star, but simply for brain development, because they think completely differently. Just to learn
Speaker A
the piano, the drums. It's good for all children. But especially for them? Yes. Especially for them. Music is everything. Music is the right position .
Speaker A
Chess. Chess, please. But that's not music anymore, right? That's logic. Chess, mental arithmetic, that's logic. If the child likes it, then yes, please.
Speaker A
And don't be afraid, it can be diagnosed at any age. But if you see something bothering you, even the smallest thing, it's better to go and ask. And ask several specialists . If everything is normal, then...
Speaker A
Where can I find such specialists? What are they called? Well, first of all, a neurologist is a must, he will then refer the pediatrician and speech therapist, psychologist, neuropsychologist. It's better to visit several to find out exactly what's wrong with the child. If
Speaker A
there are no problems, he won't say anything, but if there are, you need to address it. Don't turn a blind eye.
Speaker A
Don't turn a blind eye. It won't go away on its own. Okay, yes. It won't go away on its own. There will be a problem. It will just snowball. And then, when Int passes:" Why didn't you pass? Why are you such a
Speaker A
blockhead? What did you do for this? What did you do? We did everything we were born to do for this.
Speaker A
So again, what you put into a child is what you get out of it. I think today's podcast turned out to be very useful.
Speaker A

Speaker A
Rakhmeton. Thank you for the invitation, thank you for your trust. All the best. I would like to tell you all: may your children grow up happy, smart, talented , and love them for who they are.
