Every parent is interested in their child. And the older he gets, the more problems his parents may have. But it is worth remembering that with age, children can become more secretive and not talkative. Sometimes that's good. But not always. For example, in the case of parents, this becomes a real problem.

What are the main mistakes of parents? It is impossible to find a person who has never made mistakes. What mistakes do parents make most often, and how to recognize their mistakes?

Many parents ask questions about how to teach a child to be independent, since such a nuance is a pillar of the educational process. The best and most lasting effect will come if you explain to him the idea and purpose of what is happening. The child must understand what is happening, connect events with causes, and draw his own conclusions. This means the inevitable passage of the ill-fated “why” stage, when the child is interested in the reasons for literally everything that catches his eye. But at the same time, there is a very useful instillation of the habit of getting to the bottom of the real reason for everything that happens.

Most often, a diet for teenagers is needed to lose excess weight. Obesity threatens many teenagers today much more often than before. This is due to an increase in the volume of food consumed, a large number of too fatty, unhealthy foods on the menu.

From a psychological point of view, fear is a negative emotion. Occurs in cases of danger to human life and health, both physical and mental. Fears may arise as a result of the negative impact of social factors on the human psyche.

Modern literature for children is largely different from the books their parents or grandparents read. Many of them nowadays prefer to watch the TV on, but cartoons and anime will never replace books for children 9-10 years old. The list of literature that develops children's consciousness and curiosity is simply huge. It includes works by Russians, Soviets and whose plots give children the opportunity to dream and create.

Soviet children's literature: Valentina Oseeva and Alexander Volkov

Before that, he tried himself in different fields: he was a sailor, traveled a lot and wrote down stories of experienced sea “wolves”. These notes later formed the basis of his humorous story “The Adventures of Captain Vrungel.”

This incredibly funny book was loved not only by Soviet children; today's elementary school students read it with pleasure. It tells about the participation of Captain Vrungel, his student sailor Lom and the sharper from Calais Fuchs in the international regatta on the yacht “Trouble”. The numerous obstacles that the main characters had to go through and which they overcame with flying colors are described with such a sense of humor that even adults love to re-read this work.

Similar books for children aged 9-10 years (the list contains many works by authors from different countries) teach that any adversity can be overcome if you do not lose your presence of mind.

Writers of England: Lewis Carroll and P. L. Travers

Great Britain has given the world a large number of children's writers, whose works are read not only by children, but also by their parents. For example, Lewis Carroll, professor of mathematics at Oxford University, who wrote books such as Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass.

Published in 1865, the fairy tale about a girl who falls through a rabbit hole into an unusual world inhabited by strange creatures is a constant favorite among children and adults. This work, written in the absurd genre, influenced the development of children's literature in the fantasy style. Alice's subsequent adventures on the other side of the mirror are also full of mathematical and philosophical jokes, and the works themselves remain so popular that films and cartoons are still made based on them.

She is known not only in her native England, but throughout the world thanks to a series of books about Mary Poppins, the nanny who appeared in the Banks family with the east wind. The magic that surrounds the young woman has a positive effect on the children she looks after. These authors and their works are included in the list of the best for children.

J.M. Barry

The next great writer from England, whom the whole world knows, is J. M. Barrie, author of the Peter Pan books.

The story of Peter Pan, who never grows up, is based on the author's grief over his brother who died at the age of 9. J.M. Barrie settled the main character in the country of Neverland and gave him the ability to fly. The Lost Boys, fairies, mermaids and evil pirates live there with him. The adventures of the children from the Darling family in Neverland are so exciting that directors continue to film new versions of the play, which was first staged in 1904.

No less popular is instructive literature for children (9-10), the list of which continues with the fantasy genre that appeared in the 20th century. Today he has thousands of fans around the world, and books written in this style are in constant demand and popularity.

Clive Staples Lewis

Tolkien's close friend, the famous Irish poet and writer Clive Staples Lewis, is familiar to children from such works as The Chronicles of Narnia.

The story of four children who, by chance, ended up in the magical land of Narnia, appeals to children aged 9-10 years because here the heroes are not only their peers or animals familiar to them, but also those they might have heard about from ancient Irish legends and myths of Ancient Greece.

The liberation of Narnia from the power of the White Witch, who brought the inhabitants of the country not only many troubles, but also a hundred-year winter without Christmas and New Year, lies at the heart of the first book. Lewis wrote a series of seven novels in total, the first of which, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, was published in 1950, and the last in 1956.
Since its first publications, this series has enjoyed continued success and is among the top books for children aged 9-10 years. By 2006, it had sold over 100,000,000 copies and been translated into 41 languages.

Joanne Rowling

England gave children another famous writer - Joanne Rowling. Children all over the world know her from the Harry Potter series of novels. The story of an orphan boy growing up in his uncle's inhospitable home who later becomes a great wizard is so captivating that the book has sold over 400,000,000 copies, considered the best-selling book in history.

The Harry Potter films are just as popular, becoming the second-highest grossing film in cinema. These books for children aged 9-10 years (the list contains 7 works) have also become loved by adults, since by her example JK Rowling inspired many ordinary people to change their lives for the better. As a secretary-translator, living on a small salary, she became a writer and a multimillionaire.

Robert Louis Stevenson and Arthur Conan Doyle

“Treasure Island” is suitable for those children who dream of becoming pirates or finding treasure. This novel by English author Robert Louis Stevenson has both. The main character of the book, a boy named became the owner of a map on which the place where the famous Captain Flint hid his wealth was marked. The teenager went in search of him with Squire Trelawney and Doctor Livesey.

Their many adventures still occupy the minds of young dreamers, and the book itself has been included in the category of “best literature for children 9-10 years old” for more than 100 years.

The list continues with another English celebrity - Arthur Conan Doyle, author of stories about Sherlock Holmes. The adventures of the great detective and his faithful assistant Dr. Watson were so beloved by readers that the British made the apartment on Baker Street in London, where Sherlock Holmes allegedly lived, a museum of these literary heroes.

Mark Twain

They have been children's favorite heroes for 140 years. Their adventures, described with a great sense of humor by the American writer Mark Twain, influenced the childhood years of many people.

The main characters today are an example of the fact that even a child can influence events, show courage and ingenuity to help friends in trouble and punish people guilty of crimes. The works of Mark Twain are good literature for children 9-10 years old; the list of his books can be continued with such novels as “The Prince and the Pauper” and “A Yankee in King Arthur’s Court,” which will be no less interesting for schoolchildren.

Jules Verne

For those who dream of traveling, the best choice would be books for children 9-10 years old, the list of which is headed by the adventure novels of Jules Verne, a writer from France. His works “The Children of Captain Grant”, “The Fifteen-Year-Old Captain”, “The Mysterious Island”, “Around the World in 80 Days”, “5 Weeks in a Balloon” and others are unsurpassed masterpieces of educational fiction.

In each work of this author there is a hero who has extensive knowledge, which he shares with young readers in an unobtrusive instructive form. The works of Jules Verne are still relevant today, as he wrote about scientific achievements that only became possible in the 20th century.

Good afternoon, dear readers! Did you know that a child’s model of the world is formed from the moment he is born until he is 12 years old? It turns out that 9 years is practically the final stage. But it’s not too late to guide your child in the right direction. I wonder how?

This is what I want to talk about today. One of our main helpers is books for children 9 years old. But how to choose and classify them correctly? Let's try not to miss the right moment and choose the right literature for our children!

From a conversation with one teacher, I learned some information regarding the culture of reading and raising children. Adults often forget that they are doing something reprehensible in the presence of a child. Has this ever happened to you? We demand from our child what we ourselves do not fulfill.

For example, almost everyone talks while eating. Well, yes, the most common situation: evening, the family got together for dinner. People share information. So why do we reprimand children if they also talk while stuffing their mouths? There should be a ban for everyone. Oh yes! Well, of course! Our information is much more important than theirs. That’s why let the kids be silent, and we will continue the conversation.

Well, this is just one example: it applies to anything. And the little ones build themselves and their views on the world by looking at you and me, at their surroundings. And they won’t take on book publishing if it’s not established in the family. Therefore, if you want to instill in your child a love of reading, start with yourself. And now we’ll find out which works will be useful at this age!

Classification

Parents of third-graders may face the problem of restlessness and inattention. Yes, this happens. A compromise must be sought everywhere. By the way, how are things going with this? Be sure to give your children the right to choose, ask what he wants to take from the bookshelf to read today. After all, what one person likes may not suit another. Incorrectly selected literature will push a child away from the world of books in general.

Of course, kids are all different. I understand. But today I will try to offer the most suitable options for everyone. And first I will divide the books into categories. Then I will give a list of each separately. And at the end I will also recommend options for boys and girls separately! So, the classification:

1. Fairy tales and stories.
2. Poems.
3. Adventure and fantasy.
4. Cognitive.
5. For boys.
6. For girls.

Fairy tales and stories

During this period, magical stories with humor and miracles will still be interesting. But teachers advise offering students works with a dose of tragedy. Those that affect interpersonal relationships. Difficult? But we need to slowly take off our rose-colored glasses. No! Let them continue to believe in miracles! But you also need to prepare for life. This is learned through books.

At this age, you need the concept that everything is given for work, and not just like that. I hope I wrote it clearly? The line is very thin and the topic is serious. But I managed to find something interesting in an online bookstore. See for yourself:

• "Malachite Box" Bazhov P.
• “Vitya Maleev at school and at home” Nosov N.N. A very good example about school to encourage your child to learn.
• "Oorfene Deuce and his wooden soldiers" Volkov A.
• "Kashtanka" Chekhov A.P.
• "Filipok" Tolstoy L.N.
• "Noscoeds" Schrute P. The strangest creature on the planet that eats socks! This is why they disappear so often! A funny and light work that young readers will really like.

You see, there is already something to think about in these books. It is very good if the child readily retells texts. Help him with this, talk about what he read. Explain the meaning. Yes, about retellings! A great option - poems! Let's talk about them.

Poetry

And memory training, and general development, and love for nature! That's a lot of functions in one bottle, as they say! What books should I read, what should I choose so that this restless person can finally calm down and get down to business?

• "Paper Umbrella" Boroditskaya M.
• "The Ballad of the Little Tugboat" Brodsky I. An unusual poem, I would say, educational. The interesting thing about it is that the narration comes from the name of the tugboat!
• "Poetry" Pushkin A.S.
• "Poems for Children" Yesenin Sergey.

In my opinion, they are quite easy to remember and interesting. And now I’ll tell you about adventure writings.

Adventure and fantasy

How interesting it is sometimes to go into the world of fantasy! Especially if you are a child between 8 and 11 years old! Are you familiar with any works? Perhaps you remember what you read as a child? And I recommend a small list of the best publications:

• "Kingdom of Crooked Mirrors" Gubarev V.
• "Alice in Wonderland" Lewis Carroll.
• "Walking castle" Diana Jones.
• "Northern lights" Pullman F. This is a more complex work than the previous ones on this list. But reading is not forbidden! If a student is interested, he knows how to comprehend, why not?
• "Endless story" Michael Ende.

How is this a proposal? There are both familiar to us and more modern publications. If a child knows how to comprehend the material he reads, then he will learn all the good things that books bring. But there are publications that use completely truthful examples to talk about what is happening around us. Guess what I mean? Certainly! Educational encyclopedias and not only encyclopedias.

Cognitive

Curious children will be very happy if you give them such essays as a gift. Honestly, everyone will be happy about this. Do you know why? Yes, there are completely unusual facts here, an acquaintance with the unknown world of animals and plants. Even with space!

• "Why don't birds fall" Kolmanovsky Ilya. I decided to start the review with this fascinating book. The author simply collected all the variety of children's questions and gave answers to them in his publications. Here he talks about birds. And the story is told in a language accessible to children. Recommended reading for ages 7 to 10. Although there is a lot of interesting things for adults here too.
• The Guinness Book of Records will be very exciting for young readers. The most interesting facts collected from different spheres of human life! Just what you need for curious kids!
• "Insects. School Guide" Mark Makhlin.
• "Riddles and secrets of pets", « Dog riddles" And " Cat riddles", author Svetlana Lavrova.
• "Big Book of Knowledge".
• “What is good and evil?” Oscar Breniffier. I wanted to stop the list, but then I came across this encyclopedia of goodness. It’s unusual, because it says in simple language how to act in this life. A distinction is made between good and bad. Get acquainted with this publication.

For girls

The fair half will be curious about stories about themselves, that is, about princesses! And the fantasy genre is also unlikely to be ignored if the main character is a girl! Well, now the list itself:

• "Alice's Adventures" Kir Bulychev.
• "Blue Bead" Maria Kruger.
• "Pippi Longstocking" Astrid Lindgren.
• "Prostokvashino" Eduard Uspensky.

For boys

Mostly boys are lovers of adventure and all that. And I made the selection based on these interests.

• "Far Countries" Arkady Gaidar.
• "Adventures of Tom Sawyer" Mark Twain.
• "Tim Thaler, or Sold Laughter" James Crews.

These are the recommendations for your children. Tell us, what works are you familiar with? How did they benefit young readers? What are they interested in at the age of 9? I look forward to your comments! And subscribe to blog updates. All the best! Bye!
