What are 10 year old girls interested in? Adolescence - what to do with a child. Get better at customizing

So, rule number one for parents: do not force! If you want to hobby for a 10 year old girl was solving mathematical problems or learning a foreign language, this does not mean that your daughter wants the same.

And classes that a child will attend “because I don’t want to” will bring little benefit. Therefore, when deciding which club to send your baby to, listen first of all to her. Make a decision together and don’t be upset if after a week of sewing classes, which your daughter talked about with such enthusiasm, she says “I’m tired, I won’t go!” You may have to change more than one section before your child finally finds a hobby to his liking. Treat this with patience and remember that a childhood hobby in the future can become a step towards choosing a profession or simply something that gives a person peace of mind.

Now let’s take a closer look at what hobbies exist for girls today. We will not talk about standard areas of leisure activities - everyone knows about them and many go to them. Let's talk about more unusual and more interesting types of hobbies.

Children's cosmetology courses

Beauty and grooming are something that plays a huge role and is of great importance in the life of a modern girl. And the art of being beautiful, as you know, must be learned from childhood. At children's cosmetology courses, your daughter will learn to care for her skin and hair, learn the basics of human anatomy, and learn to understand and see natural beauty. This is good hobby for girls 12 years old and older, it will become a real hobby for the baby, if already at such a young age she is a real little fashionista.





Ebru

Girls are naturally more creative than boys. They are more drawn to art and begin to understand beauty earlier.

In addition, in adolescence, it is a creative hobby that can help a girl find harmony with herself, teach her balance and calmness. Instead of sending your child to the usual drawing, we suggest enrolling her in Ebru courses. This is a type of fine art that differs from classical art in the technique of creating a drawing. First, it is applied to a water surface, and only after that is transferred to the canvas. This hobby for girls 13 years old, as well as for girls of younger and older age, will help develop imaginative thinking.



Quilling

It’s not so easy to get a modern girl to sit down to knit or cross-stitch. However, today's girls also love to do handicrafts; it is only important to find a suitable hobby. An interesting direction is quilling. This activity was not widespread until recently and was considered a hobby for the rich, but now it is available to everyone. Quilling is the art of creating real masterpieces from colored paper twisted into spirals. It's hard to believe, but real works of art come out of the simplest materials!





Cooking

Emancipation, gender equality - all these words are heard more and more often. And increasingly, society is talking about the division of household responsibilities. And no one argues with the correctness of these words.

However, it’s difficult to say that a girl shouldn’t be able to cook. After all, sooner or later she herself will want to please her household, parents, and later her loved one, with something tasty, prepared on her own. And you can teach a girl the art of cooking in a format that is interesting to her. This is an interesting idea, because getting a fidget to watch mom cook borscht is not so easy. If this is what your daughter is talking about, children's cooking classes are just for her. Such classes are often conducted in an entertaining format, so the little one will go to lessons with great pleasure.



At our Asian cooking school, you and your child can attend sushi making master classes. We offer convenient formats for conducting classes: you can take part in a group master class with your daughter, you can arrange a master class for the two of you, or you can sign her up for an individual lesson. In which she will find herself together with an experienced master who has not only cooking skills, but also skills in interacting with children. It’s hard to believe, but after the first lesson, your 10,11,12,13 year old daughter will be able to surprise you with delicious homemade rolls. Perhaps this first culinary master class in your life will later become a real favorite hobby for girls 10 years old and older.

Therefore, it is very important for parents to create the right mood in their child by offering him a choice of different sports sections. Now there is no shortage of them.

So that your child can choose an activity he likes, you can sign him up for trial training in several sections. This will make it easier to determine what he is predisposed to. And, of course, we must not forget about personal example. If parents spend the whole weekend at home in front of the TV, it will be very difficult to explain to a teenager that sports are useful.

Many teenagers enjoy going to various clubs and sections with friends. If you gather a group of children who are passionate about what they love, you can be almost sure that they will not give up doing it.

Playing chess, checkers, Monopoly, and even ordinary forfeits develops logic and the ability to think outside the box. And this will be very useful for a teenager in adulthood. In modern realities with high competition in the labor sphere, finding an interesting, well-paid job is quite difficult.

Tip 8: How can a mother find free time, or 14 ways to keep her children busy?

It is very difficult for a mother to find free time for any task. Attempts to do something are almost always doomed to failure. But there are life-saving activities that help keep a child occupied for a while.

It is very difficult for a mother to combine caring for and raising children with household chores. While the child is awake, she can play with him and spend time, but the hardest part will begin when he falls asleep. Mom will start doing household chores: washing, ironing, cleaning, cooking, etc. This method is very tiring, takes all her strength, and completely exhausts her.

This situation can be avoided. It is necessary to select activities for children so that they can calm down, do something for a long time, and so that this does not require the constant presence of their mother. The child gets tired of children's toys, so he wants to replace them with “adult” ones that his parents use. Children love to imitate adults.

There are many ways to keep your child busy. But not all games are suitable for children; sometimes parents do not have the financial opportunity to provide such activities. There are 14 children's games that do not require financial investment or minimal costs.

1. Pots and utensils for cooking. Children of all ages love to play with it. They have many different games related to pots, ladles, etc. You can stack them, sit on them, put them on your head, shout in them, prepare papers, toys, etc.

If you have never given your children a toy of this kind before, be sure to give it a try. The child will be extremely busy playing for about an hour.

2. Cutlery (spoons, ladles, spatulas, etc.). Children love to play with everything shiny, and especially what is out of reach. The main thing is to count the number of items given away so that you don’t lose anything later. It is better if they play in one place (for example, a room) so as not to search for cutlery throughout the apartment.

You can supplement the table set with various (preferably plastic) jars and containers so that children can put everything the way they want.

3. A box (preferably many small ones or 1-2 large ones). In small ones, you can fold/lay out various items (it is better to give the necessary things in advance so that the child does not wonder where he can get suitable items), put them on his head, etc.

You can climb into the big one yourself, play with several children and do everything the same as with the small boxes. It’s better to choose unnecessary boxes in advance so that your baby doesn’t spoil the ones he needs.

4. Jars or any containers. You can come up with many games with them (similar to boxes, pots). It is better if the containers are transparent, then it will be more interesting for the child to play with them.

5. Floor mosaic. There are many different types of shapes and sizes in stores (to suit taste and budget). If you haven’t heard of this yet, you can type “children’s floor mosaic” on the Internet and you can get to know it remotely.

Children will have fun, play, develop imagination and tactile sensations.

6. Construction from construction sets and cubes. Both girls and boys like to build tall towers of various variations and designs, but they no less like to destroy their buildings. Children can play this exciting game for a long time without distracting their mother from important matters.

7. Drawing. Favorite childhood activity. Gives time for a break, restores strength after active games. Develops fine motor skills, attentiveness, concentration, and imagination. Mom does her job and at the same time develops the children, so that time passes with benefit for both parties.

8. Rolling toys down the slide. Children love to slide down the slide. If it is not possible to install a slide at home for children (or the children have already become tired of it for its intended purpose), then you can use an alternative method. You can roll toys down the slide: cars, balls, etc. If you already have a slide, then this is not difficult, all that remains is to show the child how to play this game.

But if there is none, then it can be replaced. For example, a wooden plank that needs to be placed so that it does not fall, or any other object to form a slide from which various objects can be rolled down. An ironing board works best for this purpose for me. It can be installed anywhere, it is safe and much easier to put up and put away.

9. Playing with an instrument. It is not suitable for all mothers, but only for those who are more persistent in spirit, and preferably those who do not have the most expensive furniture and repairs. Although in my case, this did not affect the renovation or furniture at all. You can give any instrument that... But it is better to use broken models instead of working ones.

For boys: drill, jigsaw (first remove all files or bits), unconnected sockets, screwdrivers, extension cord (you can “plug in” all your equipment into it for convincing), everything a man can use, except dangerous ones - sharp or small objects, that can be swallowed.

Girls: tongs, hair dryer, everything a woman can use, except dangerous ones - sharp or small objects that can be swallowed.

10. Homemade or purchased tent. You can buy it in a store or make it yourself from available materials, but in case 2 it takes more time to assemble/disassemble it. Children enjoy spending time in a small, cozy house. Some people like to sit in it, some like active games, some show other character traits (my youngest son always kicked me out “from his territory” and didn’t let me in).

11. Trying on things. Surely everyone has unnecessary clothes in their home. Children of both sexes love this activity. Place your things on the sofa or bring them in a box. Children's attention will immediately be captured by a new and interesting activity - trying on different things.

12. Watching a cartoon. A favorite way to distract children. You don't even need to add anything here. But it’s better to put on educational cartoons, so the children can also learn something without distracting their mother.

13. Soap bubbles. This option is only suitable for those who have acquired a special device that blows soap bubbles. Children really enjoy these activities; they can spend a lot of time playing this exciting game.

14. Balloons (plain or helium). Inflated colorful balloons attract children's attention. It is enough to have helium balloons according to the number of children. They can interest the child’s attention for a long time.
