Psychology for children. Good and his friends. See causal relationships

Today we'll talk about the popular cartoon "Luntik and His Friends" and whether it is possible to show it to children. The cartoon was created by the Melnitsa studio on September 1, 2006. At the moment, 7 seasons of the animated series have already been released: 439 episodes. The action takes place in a forest clearing near a pond. Most of the characters are small animals: insects, fish, frogs, etc. They represent adults and children.

Luntik is an insect-sized alien creature. He was born on the Moon and accidentally fell to Earth. Here Luntik immediately found friends for himself - Pchelenka, Kuzya the grasshopper, Mila, the ladybug. Friends help Luntik to get used to a new place, talk about the peculiarities of life on Earth, for example, that everyone should have their own name and a house in which to live. Luntik is a very kind character with an open soul, he never offends anyone and is always ready to help. His kindness and openness to the world are contrasted with conventionally negative characters - the caterpillars Vupsen and Pupsen. They are constantly dissatisfied with life, envy other characters and strive to ruin someone's life. Due to the bad behavior of the caterpillars, no one calls to visit, and other inhabitants of the meadow do not want to play with them. Of course, there are also adult heroes in the cartoon: the married couple General Cher and Baba Kapa (future grandparents of Luntik), Spider Shnyuk is a creative and modest person, he helps child characters to understand art, Worm Korney Korneevich is the image of a sage and teacher, gives important advice to the child characters. At the end of each episode, there is a voice-over that summarizes the moral of the episode watched in a few words.

The first episodes of the cartoon are based on the fact that Luntik finds himself in a world unfamiliar to him. At first, Luntik is frightened by this new place and its inhabitants, but with the help of his friends and advice from adult characters, he settles on Earth, while showing his friends an example of boundless kindness and courage. In episode 6, the authors reveal the idea that a child cannot grow up alone, by itself, so Luntik finds a grandparents with whom he remains to live. And by the way, in the cartoon, not all child characters play all day. The little bee, since he is a little older than the others, goes to school. In one of the episodes, he decided to skip classes, and then, because of the missed class, he did not know which flowers to collect pollen from. One way or another, a good educational message is present in every episode.

What does this cartoon teach:

1. Help others

In one of the episodes, Luntik helps a leech that accidentally found itself on land to return to the lake, even though the leech turned out to be very harmful. Also in another episode, Luntik and his friends help the caterpillars to get out of the puddle of glue. And when Aunt Moti (an elderly sea turtle) broke down the house, Luntik and his friends built a new one for her.

1. Be friends

The cartoon explains what real friendship is and how to properly behave with your friends; it tells that you cannot take offense at friends without talking to them and not figuring out what the matter is, that you can stand up for yourself and your friends peacefully, that you cannot consider yourself the smartest and command your friends, that you cannot laugh at the troubles of your friends, that there is no need to brag, but should be shared with friends, and even that boys are stronger than girls and should help them.

1. Obey adults

In almost every episode, the child characters resort to the help and advice of adult characters. When they (children) cannot understand something, adults explain to them, and when they find themselves in a difficult situation, adults help them. For example, Korney Korneevich often helps children fix what they accidentally broke.

1. Family values

General Sher and Baba Kapa are an exemplary married couple, they affectionately address each other, for example: "My bee" or "I am your Kapa", celebrate the anniversary of the first meeting. Cher and Kapa "adopted" Luntik, declaring him their grandson. Luntik, in turn, asks them to give advice on various issues, and they teach him how to receive guests, maintain order in the house and much more. Baba Kapa is like a true hostess in the house - she prepares delicious meals, washes dishes and washes clothes. And General Cher and Luntik only help her in this, without shifting women's affairs onto themselves. And when Luntik found an insect on the street and decided to take it to his home as a pet, it turned out that this should not be done, since the insect has its own family and home.

1. Courtesy

Almost all of the child characters in cartoons are polite, except for two caterpillars. Other children constantly teach the caterpillars polite words. It is only when the caterpillars use such words that they achieve what they could not achieve without courtesy and respect for others. And Luntik taught Toad Klava good manners, and after that they often began to invite her to visit.

1. See causal relationships

In one of the episodes, the caterpillars Pupsen and Vupsen blocked the stream, because of this, he changed direction and washed away Luntik and his friends with a stream of water. At the end of the series, the caterpillars themselves are carried away by the stream of water. In many episodes of the cartoon, negative characters get into trouble, for example, a leech and naughty fry on land, or caterpillars that ate a poisonous mushroom fly agaric. This tells the kids that if you misbehave, you will get into trouble. In some episodes and positive characters behave inappropriately. For example, they go for a walk at night. But then they got very scared, imagining what could happen to them (they could fall into a lake or pit, get lost), and decided that they would never walk at night again.

1. Healthy lifestyle

In one of the episodes, General Cher teaches Luntik and Kuzyu to exercise and temper in the morning. And in another episode, Luntik did not sleep all night, and then slept all day, missing many interesting events. In the series, when it was winter outside, the characters dressed very warmly so as not to freeze. And the Caterpillars ate snow and icicles in the cold and soon fell ill. And when Kuzya ate too many sweets while visiting Baba Kapa, ​​he got a toothache. The cartoon also tells that in the summer it is necessary to wear a panama hat and that you cannot watch TV for a long time.

1. Don't be guided by looks

In one of the episodes, Luntik made friends with the toad Klava, whom everyone feared because of her huge size and frightening appearance. And in another episode, the butterfly boasts to everyone about its beauty and believes that beauty is the most important thing. Then she got dirty and was very upset that now no one would admire her. But, despite this, she was able to save Kuzya from falling into the pond, thereby showing that she was decorating her actions, not her appearance.

1. Explore the world around you

The cartoon tells about the seasons, about where the dew and frosty patterns on the window come from, who the fireflies are and who lives under water. It also tells about our solar system, and about other stars.

1. Understand art

The cartoon tells in an interesting form for a child what painting, poetry, theater, ballet, circus are and how exciting and interesting it is.

1. Various skills

For example, how to make beads, how to get other colors from three colors of paints, how to play hide and seek, how to decorate a plate, how to count the days of the week correctly. In addition, the cartoon tells that magic happens only in fairy tales, and with its help in real life no problems can be solved, and everything can be achieved only by one's own labor.

In general, in almost every episode of the cartoon there is something instructive and informative, and all this is presented in an interesting, playful way, in a language that is understandable for a child. All - both positive and negative characters sometimes commit bad deeds that lead to sad consequences. But by the end of the episode, the characters are bound to realize what they did wrong and why. They either receive punishment for their act, or promise to no longer do so. In addition, the cartoon is made colorful, but not too bright; there is no frequent change of frames, which allows the child not to focus on the outer shell, but to delve into the essence of the cartoon, experience the emotions of different characters, receiving simple life lessons with them.

What parents need to pay attention to:

1. By the appearance of Luntik, it is difficult to understand whether he is a boy or a girl. It seems that the authors of the cartoon needed to better think over its image. Unlike other characters, he walks without clothes (for example, Mila and Baba Kapa walk in dresses, General Shere and Pchelenka are like shirts). Luntik's ears are in the form of bows, and his color is pale purple - not entirely masculine. This may lead the child to think that Luntik is a girl. But in the cartoon it is nevertheless clearly shown that Luntik is a boy: he plays mainly with other boys - Kuzey and Pchelenok, he always comes to everyone's aid, in one of the series Luntik learns to sew, and Kuzya accuses him of Luntik behaves "like a girl", and usually Luntik is not very good at doing women's affairs - cooking, washing dishes, doing laundry. It is also worth noting that all female characters are highlighted in the cartoon - they are in dresses, they have bows and pigtails.
2. Luntik has an unusual ability: unlike all characters, some of whom live only on land, and others only in water, Luntik can quite successfully spend half of the series on land, and then the second half of the series under water, communicating with the inhabitants of the pond ... It is still better for parents to have another talk with the child about whether people can be under water, and in what conditions it is permissible.

So, let's summarize. The animated series Luntik and His Friends teaches:

A) Kindness, friendship and politeness;
B) Healthy lifestyle;
C) Anti-cruelty and anti-aggression towards others;
D) Respect for elders;
E) Understand art and the world around you.

Julia Gippenreiter “Psychology for children. Good and his friends "

Publisher: AST

For children 5-10 years old

“Good lives in the world and does Good Deeds. From these deeds, everyone's soul becomes warm, joyful, and everything around - brighter and better. And from bad deeds it turns out the opposite. Or, for example, if a person is kind, then it is good, fun, you want to be friends with him! And from the unkind - I want to turn away, run away! .. "

In the new book, the country's leading child psychologist, Yulia Borisovna Gippenreiter, addresses topical issues of the moral education of children who attend the middle and senior groups of kindergartens and study in primary school.

Using the example of simulated stories and well-known fairy tales - such as "The Jungle Book", "Cinderella", "The Tale of the Fisherman and the Fish", etc. - the author invites parents to consider different situations associated with a particular moral choice, and discuss them with child. Each chapter must contain a reminder "Listen to what the child has to say." Yulia Borisovna reminds parents and teachers that a child is an equal party in a dialogue, his opinion and point of view must be taken into account. There are special blank lines in the book that parents can fill in with their children after discussing a particular situation.

Everyone knows about the importance of adolescence, in which independence is affirmed, a personality is formed, plans for the future are developed - the future life of a person is determined. This period has its own psychological characteristics that parents need to know in order to understand their grown children. The quality of this knowledge can be determined by passing a test prepared by psychologist Victoria Vostretsova.

This is a book for children 4–8 years old and at the same time for parents concerned about the moral upbringing of a child. It is written in simple language in the form of conversations with children about "good and evil." You will simultaneously read and talk about the actions of the heroes from your favorite fairy tales, as well as about cases from the real life of children. The child will be able to feel more deeply the meaning of words such as conscience, justice, honesty, guilt, sympathy. There are many questions in the text that address the child's personal life and experiences. The book can also be used as a guide to "morality lessons" in kindergartens and elementary schools.
