We can talk a lot about the development of a child, about the benefits of various exercises and techniques. But don’t forget that you need to not only read useful books and articles on the Internet, you need to put it all into practice. It's not as difficult and doesn't take as much time as it seems.

For example, good old (or new unusual) riddles! After all, this is still the method of our grandmothers and great-grandmothers! This way you can entertain your child while doing anything around the house! Older children can even read and solve riddles themselves, alone or in the company of friends, instead of spending an extra hour on social networks or playing endless shooting games. Riddles for children 10 years old are somewhat more complex and interesting than for children, so you should not be afraid that children will be bored with solving them.

IN Lately More and more parents are trying to develop their child from an early age, since everyone already knows about faster assimilation of information and learning abilities at this age.

But when the baby grows up, parents’ enthusiasm often disappears. And that's it achievements achieved are gradually fading away.

But it’s completely in vain! If you continue to interest the child, maintain an interest in development, in creativity, notice his natural talents and develop them in every possible way, then in the future parents, most likely, will not have problems - how to entertain the child? Or what to do with a child who is bored? And this is, in fact, a big problem of our time - children have forgotten how to play on their own even with expensive “sophisticated” toys, which they usually now have in abundance, they have forgotten how to play with friends in the yard, they don’t have enough company - they need a “mass entertainer”, an animator . And parents sincerely believe that this is how it should be - that we and our children simply grew up at different times. But pay attention: you probably know a family where the boy is passionate about sports, rides a bicycle and plays football all the time, in the summer he not only spends time on the river and climbs trees, but also posts advertisements to earn extra money for a cool skateboard...

And the girls aren't all busy posting their next selfie on social networks, many manage to practice origami, which is now fashionable, do music and gymnastics, dance and sports, draw and go to theater studios.

And if you don’t brush your children off like an annoying fly, always pretending to be busy and citing fatigue (you must admit, we often do this), but make some effort and show interest, then you can improve your life and everyday life little man so that it will be interesting for him and not a burden for you!

What do the riddles have to do with it, you ask?

Yes, despite the fact that this is one of those activities that helps a child develop a “thinking mind”, think outside the box, show logic, and enthusiastically look for a solution. This teaches you to think and master different topics.

Funny, interesting, unusual riddles for 10-year-old children develop a sense of humor and help them become active and inquisitive.

So go ahead: find them, read riddles to children, give them riddles instead of primitive comics, award prizes, let them write their own riddles! In general, create together, and have fun!
