Modern children are always different frompredecessors from previous generations. Perhaps one thing remains unchanged - children, up to a certain age, always believe in Santa Claus and ask him for what they dream most of all. What do those who are eight years old dream of? The Rostov children do not have enough snow - apparently, the New Year holidays are coming and the children are worried that they will not be able to play enough and run around; a fluffy friend - some are asking for a dog; and, of course, toys. Most ask for "Lego", Heinz dolls and all kinds of helicopters / cars on the remote control. Particularly practical asked for a washing machine.

Child psychologist, specialist in educational psychotherapy Yulia Kalchenko tells what you should pay attention to: - Children's New Year's wishes are, as a rule, a metaphor for what the child lacks most in life. For example, if a child asked for some rare and expensive toy, this may mean that he wants to raise his own status among classmates, and if he wished for a puppy, perhaps the child lacks friends and feels lonely. Of course, the reasons may be different, everything is strictly individual. And yet I recommend that parents pay attention to children's requests, because in this way you can find out what your children really lack. The main thing is to correctly answer the question: "What will this gift give my child?"

Firstly, because it is part of our culture, and secondly, with the help of the legend of Father Frost, it is possible and necessary to cultivate kindness and humanity in a child - here the story about Father Frost coming to those who have behaved well all year can help. By the way, it is better to give gifts in a playful way. Just put the gifts under the tree in advance, and then open them with surprise. - Writing a letter to Father Frost is a very important tradition, - continues Yulia. - It is all about sincerity: a child, as a rule, trusts the kind Father Frost and writes about his experiences as openly as possible. Moreover, such letters have a therapeutic effect on adults as well. The secret is that many of us set artificial goals for ourselves. Often, when a person sits down to write a letter, he knows what he will ask for, but suddenly completely different desires appear on the paper. So, what is written in the end is the truth. If you have worked all your life and dreamed of achieving success in a certain profession, and in the letter you indicated that you want to be a photographer and travel a lot - then buy a camera, sign up for photography courses and go! Do not forget to send the letter by mail. So, on a subconscious level, there will be a feeling that it has reached the addressee and Santa Claus is already working on its implementation. In fact, this is the first step towards your new real goal. In Rostov, you can send a letter to Santa Claus at the DonExpocentre (pr. M. Nagibin, 30). There is a mailbox in the lobby of the building.
