The son of Dmitry Shepelev and Zhanna Friske is only 4.5years. But it turns out that the boy has a very busy life. And it's not about traveling around the world with his dad. Platon not only goes to kindergarten, he also does gymnastics and studies English. "Well, does he study? He just hangs out with a native speaker," his dad explained. In addition, Dmitry plans to add music lessons to his son's daily routine. But at the same time, the TV presenter does not consider himself a supporter of active education. "I am against raising geniuses from children, forcibly cramming them with something," Dmitry said in an interview with the channel. - These are all parental complexes and lack of fulfillment that parents try to compensate for with the help of their own children." Aug 30 2017 at 4:29 PDT Now the boy goes to kindergarten. But not a regular one, but one where there are many children from international families - Israeli, French. These guys seem to be the same as ours. But Dmitry believes that there are some differences. “They communicate differently. They fight too, there are bullies too, someone waves a stick, someone cries. But it seems to me that this is more peaceful than it could be. I would like to instill such an open manner of communication in the child,” the father explains. Dmitry is generally shocked by the approach of some Russian parents to raising children. He compared Russian mothers with American ones: “I saw how children communicate on the playground in Los Angeles and in Russia. Not only their communication with each other, but also how parents communicate with them. There, mothers crawl with their children in the sandbox, do not scold them for getting their shirt dirty, tearing their jeans, sand in their hair - they are fine. But here they yell, hit their children, and this happens on the playground. What they can put you in jail for in America is normal here.” Publication from Dmitry Shepelev (@dmitryshepelev) Jul 6 2017 at 7:10 PDTAs of what to do with his son's further education. He immediately stated that he does not believe in home schooling: Platon is at the age when he needs a lot of communication, he is drawn to other children. And at home, the boy will be deprived of this. "You can create a kind of oasis of well-being, peace, and safety around the child. But this is expensive and pointless: sooner or later he will find himself face to face with reality." Dmitry is not yet sure whether to send Platon to a regular comprehensive school or not. But he knows for sure that he does not want his son to study in an institution where everyone, as he put it, is "blue blood." "This is also not about life," he explained. Dmitry considers his main fatherly task to be to make sure that his son is truly happy: doing what he loves and always being sure that his dad will support him in everything. These are all the principles of education. However, is this not enough?
