Girlfriends, this post is for you! (ATTENTION!!! It turned out to be very long, but very useful. I recommend returning to reading it after the birth of the babies, for example)

Nowadays, no matter what magazine you buy, they all have articles on early development. Open your palm, close your palm, spinning top, tumblers... And it seems like some sayings are given for this, but they are all new and unfamiliar. But personally, my memories of childhood are games with palms: palms, the thief magpie (I don’t know why the thief) cooked porridge... I don’t remember any other troubles - and nothing, a beautiful girl grew up, with normal development: both poetry and I knew the texts of books by heart in early childhood, and started reading early.

And today, quite by accident, I came across a post about “okay” - for me personally, after reading it, it became clear why all this was needed and why it has been preserved for centuries. For those who also had this in childhood, I suggest you refresh your memories)))

So, about folklore and ABOUT "PESTUSHKI" generally.

Folk pedagogy has developed its own traditional folklore genres for the youngest x. A simple rhyme, repeatedly repeated sound combinations and words, exclamations and emotional appeals involuntarily force the baby to listen, freeze for a moment, peering into the face of the speaker. The unique originality of folklore is especially valuable for activating a child at a time when he has not yet formed voluntary actions, attention, and reaction to words. It should be noted that all genres correspond to the psychophysical capabilities of a small child, so they can be used, focusing on the microperiods of early childhood - every 3 months Pestushki, nursery rhymes, jokes, tongue twisters, fables and shifters, differing from each other in their pedagogical focus, are introduced into a child’s life in different ways, depending on age.

Magpie Crow
On the palms and feet there are projections of all the internal organs. And all these “old wives' tales” are nothing more than massage in the game.
Circular movements of an adult finger over a child’s palm in the game “The magpie-crow cooked the porridge and fed the children” stimulate the work of the baby’s gastrointestinal tract... When describing the work of the “magpie-crow” in distributing this very porridge to the children, do not mess around - lightly squeeze each finger (in the text there is more detail on how to move your palm correctly, which organ each finger signifies)

Ladushki
They say that as a child matures and gains intelligence, the fist opens.” So it is likely that if the palm learns to open, then the head will begin to work more actively.
Muscle tone and rapid palm opening are most easily achieved by touching a round surface... Your own palm, your head, or your mother’s hand. This is why the Slavic wise men must have invented the game of “palms” (as we remember, everything ends with the touch of your palms to the baby’s head)

-Okay, okay! - And straighten the baby’s fingers in your palm.
- Where were you? At grandma's! - connect his hands palm to palm.
- What did you eat? Porridge! - they clapped their hands.
- We drank yogurt! - again.
- Shoo, they flew and sat on their heads

or

“Okay, okay,
Where were you? - At Annushka's.
What did you eat? - Pancakes.
Where are the pancakes? - Ate...
No pancakes!” (The child’s arms are spread to the sides.)
Game continues. The adult suggests going to Panichka:
Okay, okay,
Where were you? -At Panechka's.
What did you eat? -Gingerbread!
Where are the gingerbread cookies?
Ate...
No gingerbread! (The child’s arms are spread to the sides.)

Three wells
This is perhaps the most forgotten of the “therapeutic games”. Nevertheless, it is the most important (unless, of course, you intend to start feeding your descendant antibiotics from childhood). The game is based on the “pulmonary meridian” - from the thumb to the armpit. In the nasty, cold autumn weather, such games are very useful: both entertainment and prevention against the flu.

- Ivashka went for water and met a grandfather with a beard. He showed him the wells...(starts with stroking the thumb)
Next you should apply light pressure on your wrist, directly on the pulse point:
- The water here is cold, - by clicking on this point, we activate the immune system (prevention of colds).
Now slide your finger along the inner surface of your arm to the elbow bend, press on the bend:
- The water here is warm, - we regulate the functioning of the lungs.
Let's go further, up the arm to the shoulder joint. Press it a little (we are almost done with the “lung massage”):
- The water is hot here...
- And there’s boiling water here!- tickle the little one under the armpit. He will laugh - and this in itself is a good breathing exercise.

OTHER PARTS

The mother caresses the awakened baby, touching her with light massage movements, and gently says:
“Stretchers, stretchers,
Across the fat girl
And there are walkers in the legs
And in the hands there are little grabbers,
And in the mouth there is a talk,
And in the head - the mind."

“Stretch!
Little ones!
Across the fat girl,
Hands are grasping.
Legs are runners."

Massage, turning the head, throwing arms over the head, waving the hands with mother’s help, etc. - all this not only physically improves the baby’s health, but also gives him a lot of pleasure. It’s good if the mother says it cheerfully - hearing this saying in the future, the baby himself will laugh, stick his head up, and perform familiar movements:
“I’m kneading, kneading the dough,
There is a place in the oven
I'm baking, I'm baking a loaf!
Little head - go ahead, go ahead!

Exercises that prepare a child for mastering walking are useful. (alternately spank the baby lying on his back on the feet, which reflexively react to light touches). This is how the adult forms a sense of the rhythm of walking when stepping with one or the other leg.
Toki-toki-toshki,
I forge, I forge legs.
Antoshka's legs
They're driving along the path
The path is crooked,
No end, no edge.

There is a LOT of stuff in the post itself - I’ll copy it into my “baby” notebook and will actively use it after the baby is born

A conversation arose about games with clapping - that is, claps for older children.
If you look at them, these are wonderful games from a variety of angles:
- here comes coordination of movements
- here is the synchronization of the work of the cerebral hemispheres
- and working out the rhythm of speech
- and just a memory
- and articulation
- and the development of voluntariness
- and attention is trained
and it's just fun and funny
And most importantly, for this game you don’t need to have ANYTHING with you. This means you can play almost anywhere!

In these games, not only movements are important, but also the texts that we pronounce. You can adapt any counting rhymes or children's poems. But in my childhood these were very special texts.
And so I decided to collect what we play, what else we can play

Play you can do it together, different movements are possible here
- two palms together
- place your palms in the open palms of your partner
- strikes with palms obliquely
- one puts his hands palms up, the second claps them on top
- one hand is turned with the palm, the other, on the contrary, covers the partner’s palm

You can play round: right palm on top of the neighbor’s left palm
Each word is a clap of your hand over the palm of your neighbor on the left. Well, on the last word you had to remove your hand, and the penultimate one, accordingly, had to slam it.

But the most interesting thing is the texts that had to be pronounced :)

I'll start with the memories of my childhood. My grandmother taught me this sentence, and she knew it from childhood (if you consider that as a child my grandmother lived in China - my parents served on the Chinese Eastern Railway - then I wonder where the roots come from)
***
Once upon a time there were three Japanese
Yak, Yak-Tsidrak, Yak-Tsidrak-Tsidrak-Tsitroni
Once upon a time there were three Japanese women
Tzipi, Tzipi-Dripy, Tzipi-Dripy-Trimpompony
Yak married Tzipi,
Yak-Tsidrak on Tzipi-Dripi
Yak-Tsidrak-Tsidrak-Tsitroni on Tzipi-Dripi-Trimpomponi
Born to Yak and Tzipi - Shah
Yak-Tsidraka with Tzipi-Dripi - Shah-Shadrakh
At Yak-Tsidrak-Tsidrak-Tsitroni with Tzipi-Dripi-Trimpomponi -
Shah-Shadrakh-Shadrakh-Shetroni

I know several variations on this theme. For example
There lived three Japanese:
Yak, Yak-Drak, Yak-Drak-Droni,
Here they got married:
Yak on Tsype, Yak-Dran on Tsype-Drypa, Yak-Drak-Droni on Tsype-Drypa-Limpomponi
Here are the children they had:
Shah, Shah-Sharah, Shah-Sharah-Sharoni
We sat on the balcony, drank tea, beat spoons in Japanese and said:
Chabi, Charyabi, Charyabi-Chabi-Chabi

there is a variant of names, and these are no longer Japanese but Chinese
Chan, Chan-chupan, Chan-chupan-chuponi.

Well, of course
***
Zuba-zuba-zuba-za (I know the Dzyuba version)
Doni the Swedes, doni a

Freeze! One two Three.

Horses-horses-horses-horses,
We sat on the balcony
They drank tea, beat saucers,
They spoke Turkish

If you get a C -

I'll give you an injection.

But these texts are only for circle games
Flew swan
Across the blue sky
Broke the wing
He said the number.

there is a variation

Flew crow
in blue trousers
I read the newspaper
Under the number...

Another one
Was walking dog on the piano
And she said the number...

Slava shared this version
We flew baby dragons
Ate donuts
How many donuts
Did you eat the dragons?

And the Internet told me this version:
Street Pushkin,
Kolotushkin's house,
Apartment number...

And with letters, not numbers
Flew cow
Said the word
What word
Did the Cow say?
(then the word is said and you need to clap its letters)
similar to the crocodile

Shel crocodile
He smoked a pipe.
The phone fell
And she wrote:...

In our country, Cow and Crocodile was not popular in childhood, because in the process disputes began over how to write this or that word :)

It was like this from childhood

***
The devils swam in the lake,
The devils were pushing their butts,
The devil pushed the little devil
And the little devil drowned
Mom is crying, dad is crying,
And the little devil is jumping in the river

but this is what a grandmother from Moscow told us :)
***
Once upon a time there lived a grandfather and a woman
Ate porridge with milk
Grandfather got angry with grandma
Fist fucking in the belly!
Baba couldn’t stand it either -
She hit him with a poker.
Grandfather thought there was a fire -
He ate his pants and ran away.

I learned this sentence not so long ago, I heard it in Slava’s kindergarten (yes, only 7 years have passed)
Sheep and river
A river flowed.
A bridge across the river.
There's a sheep on the bridge.
The sheep has a tail.

This cannot be said after every 4th verse

The river has dried up.
The bridge is broken
The poor sheep
The tail came off.

Come on 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1

We'll fill the river
We'll fix the bridge.
And the poor lamb
Let's add a tail.

Come on 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1

And finally, I brought this text from the hikes when I took the children at the dawn of their foggy youth. There was something else there, but I don't remember. Slava and Alisa really like it:
Mom sewed me pants
From birch bark,
So that your butt doesn't sweat,
No mosquito bites.

Do you play pats with your older children? What are you saying? Do the children play on their own?

Nursery rhymes for the little ones are short, rhythmic poems that, as a rule, do not carry deep meaning. Some young mothers wonder: why are nursery rhymes needed? Do they bring any benefit to the baby? Early development specialists confidently answer: yes! Read about the meaning of nursery rhymes for the little ones below.

How are nursery rhymes useful for little ones?

1. Calm or amuse the baby

A small child perceives poetry much better than ordinary speech (which, incidentally, is also true for an adult). are clearly rhymed verses with a clear and simple rhythmic pattern. Hearing such a speech spoken in a familiar and familiar voice, the baby calms down and listens. If you voice a nursery rhyme with a cheerful, perky intonation, it will amuse the little one, and if you pronounce the words slowly, thoughtfully, you can calm the baby, prepare him for bed, and relieve daytime stress.

2. We teach words to the child and train his memory

Consist of simple, easy to pronounce words. Even if these words are not yet clear to the baby, he will remember them and later try to pronounce them. By memorizing a short, funny poem, a child develops memory and attention, and the speech center of his brain is actively working.

3. Introducing the baby to the world around him

The plot of most nursery rhymes for little ones is of an everyday nature and introduces the child to the world around him, with its objects and events.

4. We teach the child some actions

Some nursery rhymes for the little ones are aimed at teaching the child some useful action in a playful way. There are nursery rhymes that a mother can recite while doing gymnastics with her baby, for example:

You, little mouse, stretch,
Mom, baby, smile!
Now come on, buddy,
Let's turn on our sides!

There are nursery rhymes that help the baby wash, get dressed, etc.

Texts of nursery rhymes for the little ones

Probably the most popular nursery rhymes for kids are “ Okay, okay, where were you - at grandma's?" And " The horned goat is coming»:

"Okay"

Okay, okay!
- Where were you?
- By Grandma.
- What did you eat?
- Porridge.
- What did you drink?
- Mash.

Butter porridge,
Sweet mash,
Grandma is kind,
We drank, ate,
We flew home
They sat on their heads,
The little girls started singing!

"The horned goat is coming"

The horned goat is coming,
For the little guys
Legs top top,
Eyes clap-clap.
Who doesn't eat porridge?
Who doesn't drink milk?
I'll gore him, I'll gore him!

But there are also not very popular nursery rhymes that are no less funny and useful for the development of the baby. Below we present the texts nursery rhymes for the little ones, united in meaning.

Well, it's time for us to go back down:

And then vice versa.

Nursery rhymes for little ones are good not only for entertainment. They introduce kids to the world around them, train their memory, and teach sounds and words. Nursery rhymes are very memorable, and if mom doesn’t remember the appropriate rhyme, she can easily come up with one herself! We wish you and your kids a wonderful mood!

A small, chubby, charming palm... Every mother knows that it contains a whole world of opportunities for the development of a child. That is why the first games are “Ladushki” and “Magpie”; they introduce the baby not only to short rhymes and a sense of rhythm, but also develop the brain and even have a healing effect on the body. What is hidden in these wonderful palms?

It turns out that all the Old Slavonic “games for the little ones” (such as “magpie-crows”, “three wells”, “ladushki”) are not games at all, but therapeutic procedures based on acupuncture.

Magpie Crow
On the palms and feet there are projections of all the internal organs. While playing with the baby and telling a funny rhyme, we massage the internal organs. The most real one.
Circular movements of an adult finger over a child’s palm in the game “The magpie-crow cooked the porridge and fed the children” stimulate the work of the baby’s gastrointestinal tract... When describing the work of the “magpie-crow” in distributing this very porridge to the children, do not mess around - lightly squeeze each finger , by doing this you “massage” the heart, lungs, stomach and even the cerebral cortex.

Ladushki
Muscle tone and rapid palm opening are most easily achieved by touching a round surface... Your own palm, your head, or your mother’s hand. This is why the Slavic wise men must have invented the game of “palms” (as we remember, everything ends with the touch of your palms to the baby’s head)

Okay, okay! - And straighten the baby’s fingers in your palm.
- Where were you? At grandma's! - connect his hands palm to palm.
- What did you eat? Porridge! - they clapped their hands.
- We drank yogurt! - again.
- Shoo, they flew and sat on their heads

“Okay, okay,
Where were you? - At Annushka's.
What did you eat? - Pancakes.
Where are the pancakes? - Ate...
No pancakes!” (The child’s arms are spread to the sides.)
Game continues. The adult suggests going to Panichka:
Okay, okay,
Where were you? -At Panechka's.
What did you eat? -Gingerbread!
Where are the gingerbread cookies?
Ate...
No gingerbread! (The child’s arms are spread to the sides.)

Okay, okay
(clap your hands)
We baked pancakes
(imitate baking pies)
They put it on the window,
(show)
Forced to cool down
(blow)
When it cools down, we’ll eat
(imitate food)
And we'll give it to the sparrows.
(imitate throwing)
Shi - they flew and sat on their heads!
(wave hands and point to head)

Three wells
This is perhaps the most forgotten of the “therapeutic games”. Nevertheless, it is the most important. The game is based on the “pulmonary meridian” - from the thumb to the armpit. During the cold season, such games are very useful: both entertainment and prevention against the flu. You can have fun playing not only with little kids, but also with children of any age.
So the text is like this:
- Ivashka (we put the child’s name) went for water and met a grandfather with a beard. He showed him the wells... (starts with stroking his thumb)
Next you should apply light pressure on your wrist, directly on the pulse point:
- The water here is cold, - by clicking on this point, we activate the immune system (prevention of colds).
Now slide your finger along the inner surface of your arm to the elbow bend, press on the bend:
- The water here is warm, - we regulate the functioning of the lungs.
Let's go further, up the arm to the shoulder joint. Press it a little (we are almost done with the “lung massage”):
- The water is hot here...
- And there’s boiling water here! - tickle the little one under the armpit. He will laugh - and this in itself is a good breathing exercise.

Games with fingers and palms contribute to the development of fine motor skills, speech, and they form a sense of rhythm. Simple rhymes are quickly remembered by kids. These games are great for when a little person needs to be distracted/engaged, on a long trip, in line, etc.

Lock
Place your hands in a lock, intertwining your fingers. While reading the poem, rhythmically swing the “lock”:
— There is a lock on the door.
- Who could open it?
- They knocked
On this word, rhythmically tap the bases of your palms against each other, without releasing your fingers.
- Twisted it,
Without releasing your fingers, pull one hand towards you, the other away from you, alternating them.
— Pulled
Pull the handles in different directions, straightening your fingers, but without releasing the lock completely.
- And they opened it!
Suddenly releasing your arms, spread them wide to the sides.

Berries
Raise your arm slightly in front of you so that your relaxed hand is approximately at face level. The fingers are relaxed, hanging down.

— I pick berries from a branch
With the fingers of your other hand, stroke each finger from the base to the very tip, as if removing an imaginary berry from it.
- And I collect it in a basket.
Place both palms in front of you in a cup.
- It will be a complete basket.
Cover one cupped palm with another cupped palm.
- I'll try a little.
- I'll eat a little more.
One folded palm imitates a basket, with the other hand we take out imaginary berries and put them in the mouth.
- The path to home will be easy!
Imitating legs, the middle and index fingers on both hands “run away” as far as possible.

Fish
The fingers of both hands are folded in a pinch. The arms move in a wave from the shoulder, depicting diving fish.

— The fish swam and dived
- In clean, warm water.
- Then they will shrink,
On the last word, the fingers are clenched very tightly.
- They will unclench,
The fingers splay out to the sides.
- They will bury themselves in the sand.
With your fingers folded again, you alternately make movements with your hands, as if you were digging up sand.

House and gate
— There is a house in a clearing (we depict “house”)
- Well, the path to the house is closed (we depict a “gate”)
- We open the gate (palms turn parallel to each other)
- We invite you to this house. (depicting “house”)

Turnip.
We planted a turnip (with our fingers it’s like we’re digging a hole in a child’s palm)
The turnip was watered (we imitate how water pours from a watering can)
The turnip grew (we gradually straighten our fingers)
Nice and strong!
(leave your palm open, bend your fingers like hooks. Using the hooks of your fingers, grab the baby’s hooks and pull - each in its own direction)
We can't pull it out
Who will help us?
Pull-pull, pull-pull! Wow! (unclasp hands, shake hands)

Bunnies.
Place all the fingers of one hand on the palm of the other or on the table.
The bunny came out into the meadow,
Stand in a small circle (counting bunnies)
One bunny, two bunnies, three bunnies, four bunnies...
Will tap his paws (fingers tap the palm together or discordantly)
Knocked, knocked and got tired
We sat down to rest.

We are building a house.
This is a house (palms facing each other)
This is the roof (palms clasped, fingers intertwined)
And the pipe is even higher (raise the little fingers or ring fingers on one hand, then on the other, then on both at the same time)

Flower.
Raise your hands, put your clenched fists towards each other.
The flower grows and rises (we straighten our fingers)
Its petals open (the palms touch their bases in the form of a cup, and we try to spread the ten petal fingers apart as far as possible)

Jumping gallop.
Place the fingers of your right hand on the palm of your left hand, and vice versa. Or raise and lower your fingers one at a time.
Our fingers on the palm
Let them jump a little:
Jump-jump-jump.
The baby's fingers can jump both together and apart.
Our fingers on the palm
Let them stomp a little:
Top-top-top.

Scratch-scratch.
The child places his palm on top of yours, the mother reads the poem measuredly, and the baby listens to her and carefully follows the movements. At the right moment - at the word “scratch”, the baby withdraws his hand so that his finger does not get caught.
Along the palm, along the path
A little cat walks
In little paws
I hid the scratches.
If you suddenly want -
He will sharpen his claws.
Scratch-scratch!
Then the other hand comes into play. When the child has mastered the sequence and rules of movements well, you can change roles with him.

Brothers.
The game is quite difficult. Perhaps it will only work out a little.
The brothers stayed in the house (straighten your palm, close all your fingers)
The youngest decided to take a walk (move his little finger to the side, hold it a little and return it to its place).
He's bored
Walk alone
He calls brother
Take a walk together (move your little finger and ring finger to the side, hold it a little and return it to its place).
They're bored
Walk for two.
They're called brother
The three of us take a walk (now we need to try to move three fingers to the side).
It’s sad for the elders to sit in the hut.
They call the brothers home to them (gather your fingers into a pinch and into a fist).

TURTLE
Here is my turtle, she lives in a shell.
She loves her home very much. (Hands clenched into fists, thumbs inside.)
When she wants to eat, she sticks her head out. (Then show thumbs up)

Finger painting on a baking sheet with semolina is perfect for developing pens and creative abilities. To study shapes and colors, you can give your baby multi-colored cups and several types of cereals. For example, we put oval beans in a red cup, round peas in a yellow cup, and elongated rice in a white cup.

There is a wonderful game for older children "Pebbles".

The game of pebbles is very exciting from the moment of preparation. To begin with, you need to find 30-50 pebbles. Children do this with great pleasure; the rounder the pebbles, the better for the game. But regular ones with sharp edges will also work. All pebbles are selected to be approximately the same size 2-3 cm and the same color. And one pebble should be different, for example it will be white - this is the main pebble.

So, once all the preparation has been completed - the pebbles have been collected and washed, you can begin. The game can be played by 2 people. But it’s also interesting to train alone, but then there will be no competition. All players sit in a circle. The first move is determined by throwing 10 pebbles up (you can determine the number yourself, based on the capacity in the fist). As the pebbles are thrown, the palm quickly turns over and the pebbles need to be caught on the back of this palm. THE SECOND HAND DOES NOT TAKE PART IN THE GAME, do not help her!!! Whichever player has the most pebbles in his palm makes the first move!

If the situation is controversial, i.e. Several players caught the same number of pebbles, then the same tournament is held between them, until the winner.

Once the first participant is determined, he begins the first move. All the pebbles are in one pile, the more piled up the better. The player throws the main pebble up and while it is flying, he must quickly pick up as many stones as possible from the pile lying in front of him. And the main thing is to then use the same palm to catch the main stone falling from above!!! If he did not have time to catch it, or caught it with the help of his second hand, then all the stones return back to the pile, and the turn and the main stone passes to the next player.

But if he took the stones and was able to catch the main stone, then all the stones that ended up in his palm become his trophy! And they go to his personal pile! And the player continues the game of collecting pebbles into his pile. And so on until he drops the main stone, or he is unable to pick up pebbles from the pile and only catches the main stone in his palm. In these cases, play passes clockwise to the next player.

The game continues until all the stones have been removed from the general pile. The winner is the one who has the most stones in his personal pile! Then, you can start over.

But I assure you, it seems simple only at first glance, in fact, the game requires experience and skill! The game is very exciting and children play it for hours, just like the parents themselves!)) You can organize it anywhere, there are pebbles everywhere!!!

If there is no one to play with, then one child can train and gain experience for the future, when there is company. I hope you and your kids enjoy this game from my grandmother Capa, useful for fine motor skills. Good luck and good mood!!! If something is not clear, write in the comments, I will definitely explain.

And the last game for hands. It develops not so much fine motor skills as coordination and spatial thinking.

Sewing machine.

This game will help develop coordination of movements. And it will be equally interesting for children and adults at any age. Remember how a sewing machine works. Let your right hand be the turning wheel of the machine, and your left hand the sewing needle. Now place your hands in front of you and do the machine steps. Rotate with your right hand, and with your left make quick, small movements - as if a needle is stitching. Then change hands. While “sewing,” repeat “knock-knock” with your baby. Involve all household members in this game and check who has better coordination!!!

Play with your children and remember that the gentle touch of mother’s hands is the key to health and good development!

(for myself as information)

The Old Slavonic games “Ladushki” and “Magpie-Crow” perfectly develop speech, fine motor skills, memory and a sense of rhythm in a child. In addition, songs that rhyme well are important for learning basic math, musical principles, and language development.

It turns out that games like “Magpie-Crows” and “Ladushek” are not games at all, but therapeutic procedures. In other words, in ancient times children were nurtured. Nurturing is a whole process of tuning parents to the child’s biorhythms and tuning the child to the Earth’s biofield.

Mothers say the so-called “pestushki” when washing their child:

Water, water,
Wash my face -
So that your eyes sparkle,
So that your cheeks burn,
To make your mouth laugh,
So that the tooth bites.

"Magpie-crow" or "Magpie-white-sided".

On the palms and feet there are projections of all the internal organs. Circular movements of an adult finger on a child’s palm in the game “Magpie-crow cooked porridge, fed the children” stimulate the functioning of the baby’s gastrointestinal tract.

In the center of the palm is the projection of the small intestine, and this is where the massage should begin. Then slowly increase the circles - in a spiral to the outer contours of the palm (here is the projection of the large intestine).

You need to finish “cooking the porridge” on the word “nurse”, drawing a line from the unfolded spiral between the middle and ring fingers: here is the line of the rectum (by the way, regular massage between the pads of the middle and ring fingers on your own palm will save you from constipation).

When describing the work of the “magpie-crow” in distributing porridge to children (fingers), you should not be lazy, pointing with a light touch “I gave it to this, I gave it to this one.” Each of your child’s fingers should be taken by the tip and squeezed lightly. First the little finger: it is responsible for the work of the heart. Then the nameless one - for good functioning of the nervous system and genital area. Massaging the pad of the middle finger stimulates the liver, and the index finger stimulates the stomach.

It is no coincidence that the thumb (which “I didn’t give because I didn’t cook porridge or chop wood - here you go!”) is left for last: it is responsible for the head, and the so-called “pulmonary meridian” also comes out here. Therefore, it is not enough to just squeeze the thumb slightly, but you need to “beat” it properly in order to activate brain activity and prevent respiratory diseases.

The game "Magpie-Crow" is also suitable for adults. Decide for yourself which finger needs the most effective massage.

"Okay."

Palmists (these are people who read palms) consider a clenched fist or thumb “hidden” in a fist to be a sign of dementia or complete depletion of vital energy. That is why, in their opinion, babies always have clenched fists, and as the child grows up and gains intelligence, the fist opens.

Psychologists and neurologists say that brain activity correlates with fine motor skills (small finger movements). It is likely that if the palm learns to open, then the head will begin to work more actively.

Muscle tone and rapid palm opening are most easily achieved by touching a round surface - your own palm, your head, or your mother’s hand.

Okay,” you say, “okay.” – And straighten the baby’s fingers in your palm.
- Where were you? By Grandma! – connect his arms palm to palm.
- What did you eat? Porridge! - they clapped their hands.
- What did you drink? Mash! - again.
- Shoo, they flew and landed on their heads! – this is the most important moment: the baby touches his head, opening his palm on a round surface.

And here is the full text of “Ladushek”.
