Привет, Юля!
И добро пожаловать!

This way, I can afford more expensive and higher quality items. So my answer to your question is: try upscale designer brands. Some examples include Stuart Wetizman for shoes, kate spade and Tory Burch for dresses, Theory for officewear, Vince for sweaters, etc. There are tons out there https://casadimoda.us/ - choose the ones you like based on your style. When you pinpoint something you want, then shop second hand or discount stores to find that item, not the other way around. And limit yourself to a few pieces a year that you know you'll love.

One of the benefits of having a wide range of interests is sharing them with your children. I make fused glass jewelry (https://www.facebook.com/SarahReidGlassDesigns) and because my oldest three girls (ages 4, 3, 2) see the results they are VERY interested in the process. They're, unfortunately, not allowed in the room to watch me work because of the danger of the glass cutting and the equipment involved in the jewelry making process.

Today, I was supposed to go pick up some new glass and the girls were very excited to help me. When I called ahead to make sure they had what we needed, they didn't and the girls were VERY disappointed.

We made the most of the hiccup in our day by staying home and doing an art lesson. I let each girl make their *OWN FUSED GLASS PENDANT*! They were so excited - we had a really cool art time, got to talk about the science behind glass fusing, worked on their fine motor skills, and are now having an exercise in patience (a full fuse takes 16 hours)!

I'm so excited to be able to share my passions with my girls!!

Here is another link https://www.zarlexfl.com/. They have a lot of staff with jewelry for kids. Just suggest you to pay attention.
Cause im happy that i have found it yesterday.

No I am not familiar with this method, but will definitely look into it out of curiosity

The way I develop literacy in kids and encourage others to, is to teach a love of language and literature (books mostly) from an early age.

Before considering teaching a child to read, in my opinion and the opinion of many others, developing oral language skills is extremely important. Oral language is the foundation to written language. I have worked with many kids who struggle because their oral language skills are weak when they are introduced to reading.

Oral story telling teaches children the structures of stories and is a precursor to prediction skills (also important in reading) and in composition.

Reading with children from a very early age and talking about the pictures, the words and the events in a story are good foundations for reading.

What we know about reading is that it is much more than decoding words. Pictures (and later creating those pictures in one’s head) and other supporting cues such as context are important skills that a child learns through being read to and interacting with books with an adult or older child.

The ability to “play with words” by enjoying rhyme, rhythm, sound substitution and multiple meanings helps kids develop critical understandings of how language works. So while adults may consider rhymes and songs folly, they are really critical language building activities. As children learn to read, then, they can change “cat” to “bat”, and “kit”to “kite”.

It is so rewarding to see children pick up books over other toys and activities. You can see by this simple action, that they understand that there is richness inside, and that they understand the joy of literature.

Yes--but it depends on what you mean by "read."  When using systems like (but not limited to) "Your Baby Can Read," babies can learn to memorize many words.  Upon being shown a card, without any other cue, by six or nine months some of them have been able to indicate what the word means (for example, when seeing the word "head" they can point to their own heads) and, when they are old enough, can actually say the word.

Beyond that, some babies (there are no statistics available yet, as no studies have been done) are able to sound out new words by the age of 18 months, indicating that they have internalized some of the rules of phonics and that article https://www.mothersandmore.org/diapering/how-to-potty-train-your-baby/ can help you to train your baby much faster .

By age two or three, many of the "baby readers" are able to read brand new picture books on their own.  My own could read the First Amendment before his fourth birthday--video on YouTube.

Happy Thanksgiving!
