Attention to each other. About marriage and family life. Stage 1 General experiences

We try to attract attention to ourselves all our lives. It is very important for us that our parents, friends, loved ones and other people pay attention to us. Because with their love, our lives are filled with colors.

We constantly dream and imagine situations in which we are a unique person, about whom other people constantly think, and with whom it is pleasant to communicate. We always want our opinion to be taken into account and to always be in first place. But unfortunately, dreams remain dreams, because we put ourselves above others.

When we make decisions on our own, people often try to help us by giving their advice. As egoists, we reject and criticize any advice, and sometimes we turn a deaf ear, considering it useless. And at the same time, we want attention from them. But how can we get it if we refuse it ourselves?

To attract the attention of people dear to you, first of all, stop rejecting other people's attention. You should always have a sincere attitude towards people trying to help you, and listen to their opinions. And when they understand that their opinions are important to you, they will begin to take yours into account.

If you want to attract attention to yourself, you need to try to maintain friendly relations with the one from whom you want it. If you need the attention of friends and colleagues, try to spend as much time as possible with them. If you lack the attention of your family, try to trust them and listen to their advice. If you want to attract the attention of your loved one, then love him sincerely, trust him.

How to get attention from parents?

Our parents raise us from childhood, we get used to them and trust them completely. And when we do not receive due attention from them, we feel insecure and even unprotected, which greatly affects our self-esteem. So use the following tips to win them over.

1. Try to build with your parents frank conversation and tell them how much you miss them. Explain to them that right now you need their attention and care.

2. Together remember funny incidents from your childhood and talk about them. Think about times when your parents were very worried about you, for example when you got lost. This will bring back warm memories and have the desired effect.

3. Tell your parents your deepest secrets. They will understand that you trust them and may share theirs, thereby strengthening the bond between you.

4. B free time invite your parents to take a walk with you, go to a movie or a cafe. Surely they will not refuse and you will spend time together, which will bring you even closer.

5. Do not refuse your parents your help, but it is best to take the initiative yourself. Then they will have free time to spend with you.

6. Listen to what your parents tell you. Perhaps you should take their advice and change? As you know, parents want only the best for their child.

How to get the attention of friends?

Friends are those with whom we spend the best time. The attention of friends is very important to us, because without it, we feel lonely. Therefore, to win over your friends, follow these recommendations.

1. Change your attitude towards life, be optimistic. I don't know people who like looking at sad faces. Because I know that people like to look at energetic people who love life.

2. Perhaps you have an interesting hobby, then tell your friends about it. Surely they will be interested in your hobby and will be interested in it. If you are not doing anything, then there is a reason to correct it. Find something you like and do it.

3. Learn to joke. Find or make up good jokes and entertain your friends this way. Just remember the main rule: jokes should be harmless.

4. Try to be the center of attention. Regularly attend joint events with your friends. Don't refuse them if they ask you for help. When they understand that you are always there, not a single event can happen without you. And you will be constantly invited to spend time together.

5. Be your own meeting organizer. Try to organize meetings as interesting as possible. For example, invite your friends to celebrate a holiday in an unusual place. The more meetings you organize, the more attention your friends will give you.

6. Tell your friends your secrets and let them understand that they will remain only between you. Thus, you will begin to trust each other and you will form an attachment.

How to get the attention of your loved one?

The attention of a loved one is very valuable to us. In its absence, it is possible to lose a loved one. Therefore, use these recommendations to save your relationship.

1. Always smile at your loved ones. With a simple smile, you show your attitude towards him. When a person sees a smile, he becomes pleased, because he understands that you like him.

2. Do an incredible thing for your loved one. For example, go on an unplanned trip. Your partner will be very pleased with such signs of attention.

3. Try to be constantly in sight of your loved one. It’s very good if you can make him think about yourself constantly. In the end, your significant other may wonder: “Isn’t this fate?”

4. Find out what hobby your loved one has. Tell him that you like what he does. He will understand that you have similar interests and the idea will appear that you are made for each other.

5. Wear colors that your partner likes. Then the subconscious of your loved one will say that this is exactly the person he needs.

6. Try to hint that your frequent meetings are not accidental. Perhaps after this, your relationship will move to a new level.

"Treat people the way you want to be treated"

The purpose of the second stage is the formation of the ability to see a peer, pay attention to him and become like him .

The task This stage was to distract children from fixation on their own “I” and focus on the attitude of their peers and to draw their attention to the peer in itself, outside the context of their relationship. During the games, the child had to concentrate as much as possible on the other. At this stage, along with well-known and traditional games such as “Mirror”, “Echo”, “Broken Phone”, new games developed by the authors were used. Here are some examples:

"Common Circle"

The adult gathers the children around him. “Let’s sit on the floor now, but so that each of you can see all the other guys and me and so that I can see each of you” (the only the right decision here is the creation of a circle). When the children sit in a circle, the adult says: “And now, to make sure that no one is hiding and I see everyone and everyone sees me, let each of you say hello with your eyes to everyone in the circle. I'll start first; when I say hello to everyone, my neighbor will start saying hello.” The adult looks into the eyes of each child in a circle and slightly nods his head; When he has “greeted” all the children, he touches his neighbor’s shoulder, inviting him to say hello to the children.

"Talking Through Glass"

An adult helps the children break into pairs, and then says: “Imagine that one of you is in a large store, and the other is waiting for him on the street. But you forgot to agree on what you need to buy, and the exit is at the other end of the store. Try negotiating purchases through the glass of a shop window. But remember that the glass between you is so thick that trying to scream is useless: your partner won’t hear you anyway. Once you have “agreed”, you can discuss whether you understood each other correctly. Then you can switch roles.

"Find Your Brother or Sister"

Gathering the children around him, the adult says: “Do you know that all animals are born blind?

And only after a few days they open their eyes. Let's play blind little animals. Now I will go up to everyone, blindfold them with a scarf and tell them whose cub they are. Each of you will have your own brother or sister who will speak the same language as you: kittens - meow, puppies - whine, calves - moo. You will have to find each other by sound." The adult blindfolds the children and whispers to each one whose cub it is and what sounds it should make. Roles need to be distributed in such a way that there are two cubs of each animal in the group. Children crawl on the floor, “speak” their language and look for another child who speaks the same language. After the children have found their pairs, the teacher unties their eyes and invites them to meet other pairs of children. Children crawl around the group, getting to know each other, each speaking their own language.

Stage 1 Coherence of movements

The main task of the next stage was to teach the child to coordinate his own behavior with the behavior of other children.

The rules of the games of the third stage were set in such a way that in order to achieve a certain goal, children must act with maximum consistency. This requires from them, firstly, great attention to peers and, secondly, the ability to act taking into account the needs, interests and behavior of other children. Such coherence contributes to the direction of attention to the other, the cohesion of actions and the emergence of a sense of community. Let us dwell on the description of some games that require coordination of movements.

“Making sculptures”

The adult helps the children divide into pairs, and then says: “Let one of you be the sculptor and the other the clay. Clay is a very soft and docile material. Now I will give each sculptor a photograph of his future sculpture, do not show it to your partner. Take a close look at your photo and try to sculpt exactly the same statue out of your partner. At the same time, you cannot talk, because clay does not know the language and cannot understand you.” An adult distributes photographs of various statues and monuments to children. Then he chooses any child and begins to “sculpt” him into a sculpture, after showing the whole group a photograph of his future monument. After this, the children “sculpt” on their own, the adult monitors the game and approaches the children who are not doing well. Then the children show their sculptures to the teacher and the other pairs. After this, the adult hands out the photographs again and the children change roles.

"Composite Figures"

The teacher seats the children around him and says: “Those of you who have been to the circus or the zoo have probably seen an elephant there. And those who weren’t, saw his image in a picture in a book. Let's try to depict it. How many legs does he have? That's right, four. Who wants to be the elephant's feet? Who will be the trunk? etc. Thus, children are selected, each of whom will depict some part of the elephant’s body. The teacher helps the children position themselves on the floor in the correct order. In front is the trunk, behind it is the head, on the sides are the ears, etc. When the elephant is assembled, the teacher invites him to walk around the room: each part must follow the order. Any animal can be used as a composite figure. If there are many children in the group, you can complicate the game and create two animals that can communicate: shake hands, sniff each other, wag their tails when they meet, etc.

Stage 1 General experiences

The fourth stage consisted of games aimed to experience general emotions. In many of the games given above, children are united not only by the same movements, but also by a common mood, a common play image. Such a community of feelings allows you to feel unity with others, their closeness and even relatedness. All this destroys alienation, makes protective barriers unnecessary and creates a community of children. At the next, fourth stage, such a community of experiences is created specifically. Shared experience of any emotional states(both positive and negative) brings children together, creating a sense of closeness, community and a desire to support each other. The feeling of danger and fear of an imaginary enemy is especially acute. It is these experiences that are created in many games of this stage. Let's give an example of such a game.

"Evil Dragon"

This game requires several large cardboard or wooden boxes that can fit 2-3 children. At the beginning of the game, the adult invites the children to become gnomes living in small houses. When the children take their places in the box houses, the adult tells them: “There is a big problem in our country. Every night a big, big evil dragon flies in and takes people to his castle on the mountain, and no one knows what happens to them next. There is only one way to escape from the dragon: when dusk falls on the city, people hide in their houses, sit there hugging each other and persuade each other not to be afraid, console each other, stroke each other. The dragon cannot stand affectionate and kind words and when he hears them coming from the house, he tries to quickly fly past this house and continues to search for another house from which such words are not heard. So, the last rays of the sun are slowly fading, dusk is falling on the city and people are rushing to hide in their houses and hug each other tightly.” An adult walks between houses, pretending to be a dragon, howls frighteningly, threatens, stopping at each house and looking inside, and, making sure that the children inside the house support and console each other, moves on to the next one.

Stage 1 Mutual assistance in the game

At this stage, it becomes possible to use games that require children to mutually help, show empathy and joy. The use of such games without prior preparation leads to the fact that the motivation for helping other children is not disinterested, but rather pragmatic or normative in nature: I help because adults praise me for it or because the teacher said that I need to help. In order for children to really want to help others, it is necessary to first create a favorable climate in the group, an atmosphere of direct, free communication and emotional closeness.

Only after at the 4th stage children have experienced common and identical feelings that brought them together, can games be used that require children to empathize with others, giving them the opportunity to help and support a peer. Here is a description of one of the games.

"Living Dolls"

The teacher divides the group into pairs. “Let's imagine that your dolls come to life not only at night, but also during the day. They can talk, ask, run, etc. Let's imagine that one of you is a child, and the other is his girl doll or boy doll. The doll will ask for something, and its owner will fulfill its requests and take care of it.” An adult offers to pretend to wash the doll’s hands, feed it, take it for a walk, put it to bed, etc. At the same time, the teacher warns that the owner must fulfill all the whims of the doll and not force her to do what she does not want. In the next game the children will switch roles.

In the current 21st century family relationships One of the reasons for quarrels or separation is a lack or excess of attention to each other. This applies to both young couples and couples with many years of experience family life. Almost 90% of our population faces this problem. As statistics show, it is the lack of attention from your partner that brings with it a lot of negative emotions, various quarrels and scandals.

Most often, lack of attention occurs in young couples who are experiencing certain life moments: getting a job new job, moving to another city, changing the type of activity or hobby, sometimes young couples do not have enough attention to each other with the birth of a child. Well, or the saddest case when one of the partners’ feelings cool down. As we see, lack of attention begins precisely when the partner switches to something new, forgetting and relegating his other half to the background. And this is the main mistake of most couples.

As many family psychologists say, in life you need to switch gears from time to time, find something new to do as a hobby and take a break from everyday life. And this is so, there should be a change of attention, but in no case to the detriment of the relationship! Your significant other should always come first, no matter what.

After all, if you look at it this way, the key to family relationships is maintaining spiritual, everyday and sexual contact. Any person, according to the law of nature, instinctively wants to be the first, so that more attention is paid to him. And when he doesn’t receive this, he begins to either demand it from his partner or look for a new person, or a new source of that very proper attention. But it depends on both sides of the couple. If your partner has stopped paying attention to you, then it’s worth attracting him with something, but not a scandal!

In a relationship, the most important thing is communication, the desire to find time to share with each other your feelings, some emotions, discuss what doesn’t suit someone in this or that moment, love each other and satisfy both spiritually and physically !

Often the reason for quarrels or separations is an overabundance of attention to a partner. Excessive importunity and perseverance do not allow a person to switch his attention to something else, preventing him from getting bored, and this also happens. In any relationship, you need to know your partner’s emotional limits, understand their position and have patience. As a rule, an excess of attention arises from the inaction of the other partner. The couple should definitely discuss this at a family dinner or on a walk. If you give excessive influence, you definitely need to keep yourself occupied or distracted with something.

Speaking about attention in family relationships, one thing can be said. You need to know, feel, and sometimes even guess the desires of your partner. More joy. Arrange any surprises. There needs to be more spontaneity and exuberance. But everything needs to know the limit and the stopping point, when everything is done, you can’t go any further!

Love each other and be happy!!!

There lived an ordinary-looking family. Husband and wife. And they were busy growing apples in their garden and selling them in the fall. That's how they lived. And then one year it happened that the peasant fell ill and was unable to harvest the harvest on time...

Many apples are rotten. But there is nothing to do. Without selling the harvest, the family will not survive. Therefore, the peasant collected all the rottenness into a cart and got ready to sell it at the market. Blessed him loving wife and said that everything would be fine. With that the peasant went.

And on the way he meets a merchant. And he sees that a peasant is driving on the way to the market, and his cart is full of rotten apples. The merchant marveled and said:

What are you doing, fool? You bring rotten apples to the market, no one will buy them from you!

“Yes, I know, merchant,” the peasant answers. “But there’s nothing to do, we have to sell it, otherwise my wife and I will die.”

Yes-ah-ah, your wife will get it for you when you return from the market with nothing. He'll eat it wholeheartedly!

Oh, merchant, don't worry about that. My wife is golden. She loves me and accepts me no matter what.

But this doesn’t happen! - the merchant answers.

How it happens! My wife is golden!

Then the merchant offered to argue:

Let's argue. Now we are returning to your home and saying that the apples are rotten and no one bought them, and that there will be nothing to live on in winter. If your wife is really what you say, then you win - I’ll give you this purse of gold, enough for more than one winter. And if it turns out that you are lying, and your wife causes a scandal for you, then I won and will take your horse and cart. Hands down?

Hands down!

And so they returned to the peasant’s home. From the threshold, upset, he says to his wife:

Wife, trouble! Didn't sell the apples! It will be bad in winter!

What are you doing, honey? What are you talking about? You're back, and that's good. And even a guest with you. What a joy! Come on in, tired from the road and hungry? Now I’ll get you washed and set the table. Relax and eat.

And so she quickly carries a jug of water to wash herself, hands her a towel, and seats her at the table. The merchant marvels, but thinks to himself that this is a circus with strangers. He thinks: “If I stay here longer, she’ll definitely lose it!” And so they sit at the table, the peasant’s wife is looking after them, all glowing with joy, and the merchant from time to time turns the conversation to the unsold harvest, and how they will live through the winter.

And the peasant’s wife always answers him:

Everything will work out somehow, we’ll get by! Now the main thing is that the husband and the guest feel good.

The merchant marvels even more. They sat like that for a long time. In the end, the merchant realized that he had lost the argument.

He takes out his wallet and says:

Yes, I have seen a lot in this world, but I have never seen such golden wives as yours. You were right. Here's your money and live happily!

With that, he took his leave.

Thank you for your attention!
Take care of each other, love each other!
And always cherish each other.
